"Um!"

After waiting for the emotional wave to pass, Qingdeng nodded vigorously.

"I will! Boss Kiryu, in order for that day to come, you must live a long life!"

Boss Kiryu smiled.

"I have lived long enough. An old man over 90 years old is rare in the world. If I live longer, won't I become a monster?"

At this moment, Boss Kiryu seemed to have recalled something and suddenly changed the topic:

"Ah, taking this opportunity now, let me tell you about that too. Mr. Orange, there is something very important that I need to discuss with you - about the Angoulême family.

."

Qingden raised his eyebrows.

"The Angouleme family? What happened to Elodie and the others?"

"For some reason that I cannot elaborate on, the Angoulême family needs to move to Kyoto in the near future."

"Kyoto?"

Qingdeng opened his eyes wide in shock.

Immediately afterwards, the surprise turned into solemnity.

"Boss Kiryu, what's going on? Elodie and the others are going to Kyoto at this time? Are you kidding me?"

If an ordinary family wanted to go to Kyoto, Qingden would not say anything.

Although Kyoto is currently in chaos, ordinary people can live smoothly as long as they live their lives honestly, do not express any political opinions in public, and do not get involved in any political-related activities.

However, a group of French people want to go to Kyoto at this juncture... It feels strange no matter how you think about it!

This kind of behavior is not jumping into a pit of fire, but jumping into the crater of a volcano that is about to erupt!

Since being promoted to the governor of Gyeonggi Province, Qingdeng has mastered a large amount of first-hand information about the current situation in Gyeonggi Province.

It is no exaggeration to say that under the instigation of the Choshu clan, countless people with radical ideas and lofty ideals from all over Japan gathered in Kyoto like crucian carp crossing the river.

The current anti-barbarian wind in the air in Kyoto is even worse than that in Edo, which was persecuted by the anti-barbarian group three years ago.

Not to mention Westerners, even scholars and doctors who study Western knowledge will be labeled as "national traitors" and then be brutally executed.

Faced with Qingden's questioning look, Boss Kiryu shook his head gently.

"Tangerine-kun, I'm sorry, I really can't elaborate on the reason."

"In short, they must move to Kyoto immediately."

"You also know that in this situation, other places are fine, but the Gyeonggi area is extremely chaotic."

"If adequate protection is not taken, a trip to Kyoto will definitely be dangerous - especially for Westerners."

"You will soon lead the Shinsengumi to Luo, so I would like to ask you: when you raise your troops to march westward, please allow the Angoulême family to accompany you."

"With the Shinsengumi here, no matter how radical the pro-protest elements are, they will not dare to come and harass us."

"After arriving in Kyoto, the next thing will be easy to say. Anthony will take my letter of recommendation to a good friend of mine."

Qingdeng listened carefully.

After thinking for a while, he nodded gently:

"...I understand. Since there is an unexplainable reason, I won't ask any more questions."

"Let my Shinsengumi act as bodyguards... That's no problem."

"It's just that they must disguise themselves and dress up as Kazuto when accompanying them, so that my subordinates cannot find out that there are Westerners following them."

As he spoke, Qingden shrugged, with a look of helplessness on his face.

"There are quite a few people under my command who are strongly hostile to Westerners..."

In fact, the distinction between the "respect the king and repel the barbarians" and the "integration of public and military forces" is not so clear-cut.

Among the former, there were many people who supported the Tokugawa family and considered them indispensable to the Edo shogunate.

As for the latter, there is no shortage of people who respect the court and the emperor and want to expel every "barbarian" from the country.

Boss Kiryu nodded:

"Of course. I'll let them disguise themselves."

"Does Ah Wu know about this?"

"I haven't told her yet."

Qingden smiled:

"Elodie is going to Kyoto too...she should be very happy."

He could imagine how happy Kinoshita Mai would be after learning that her only best friend was going to Kyoto with her.

Elodie is his apprentice.

Although Kiryu’s boss was very secretive about the reason why the Angoulême family urgently moved to Kyoto, Aonto could guess that the family, who had lived well in Edo, had to go through all the trouble to move, and even to a dangerous place.

The Laman area must have been in serious trouble.

Since the apprentice is in trouble, Qingdeng is naturally willing to help.

Regarding the "protection mission", both parties successfully reached a consensus.

Later, Qingdeng brought back the topic:

"Boss Kiryu, regarding 'Setsuna'... its late version, before I reach the state of 'First of all', I should not be able to count on it for the time being."

"I'd better delve into its 'early version' first."

"Can you show me the 'Snap'? Let me see its elegance with my own eyes. This will definitely be of great benefit to my study."

When Boss Kiryu heard this, he chuckled a few times: "Huh huh huh":

"That's natural. Tachibana-kun, take your knife."

After saying that, he put down the teacup in his hand, grabbed the saber by his leg, and stood up.
