"Yes, as long as we follow Teacher Wushi closely, we will definitely leave a mark in the history of youth!"

"Humph, we are running for the country, but those pig-like sergeants are indifferent and are still clinging to their one-third of an acre of land. Ha! They are really a shame to Tosa!"

"Let's work together to do something great, and let those bastard sergeants take a look! See how capable the countrymen they look down upon are!"

"When the great cause of Zunji is completed, we may all be promoted to sergeants due to our outstanding achievements!"

"Hahaha, that would be great! Those pigs who only know how to eat, drink and have fun should give way long ago!"

Qingdeng passed their shoulders, and the next moment his sleeves met, he quietly turned his head and looked deeply at the backs of the two countrymen who were still making impassioned speeches.

Then, he suddenly said with emotion to the guard in front of him who was leading him:

"You hard-working members of the royal party are really energetic."

The sudden compliment made the other person at a loss.

Although he didn't understand why, he replied politely:

"Thank you for the compliment..."

However, before he could finish his words, Qingdeng added:

"It's just that your passion seems to be in the wrong place."

The guard's brows suddenly frowned:

"Your Excellency, why do you say this? You should have seen it just now, right? We, the Qinwang Party, are united as one, and we are determined to fight against the invaders as our own mission!"

As if he had heard some funny joke, Qingden shrugged, an intriguing smile appearing on the slightly upturned corners of his mouth.

"We are united as one to resist the foreigners? Is this really such a thing?"

After saying that, he laughed "hum hum", his deep laughter mixed with an elusive meaning.

At the same time, his expression changed significantly.

When he first set foot in the Tosa Domain, Aoto's expression was very serious.

But now, his facial lines were completely relaxed, as if he was in a happy mood.

Although the guard didn't understand what he meant, he instinctively felt that Qingdeng was mocking their loyalists.

In anger, he snorted coldly and ignored Qingdeng.

Qingdeng also stopped talking and just smiled to himself.

After passing through several more corridors, the doorman finally stopped in front of a certain hall door.

"Your Excellency, please come in."

As he spoke, he got down, knelt on one knee by the door, and stretched out his hand to open the paper sliding door.

The warm sunlight leaked into the hall little by little along the cracks in the door that gradually opened.

The overflowing pale golden luster spread across the ceiling, accentuating the tatami and illuminating the dark crowd in the hall.

The moment the paper sliding door was opened, a bunch of sharp and piercing eyes came towards Qingdeng.

Looking around, there were about twenty people sitting evenly on the left and right sides of the hall.

Although their faces and clothes were different, they had one thing in common, that is, when Qingdeng appeared, they all showed terrifying expressions and threw themselves at Qingdeng in a uniform manner. A vicious look.

These lines of sight converged into one, gathering into an invisible mountain, pressing down on Qingdeng's shoulders.

An ordinary person who had never experienced anything in the world would probably be frightened by the terrifying battle and his legs would tremble, just like Qin Wuyang who accompanied Jing Ke to assassinate the King of Qin.

However, for Qingdeng, who has been through the sea of ​​blood in the mountain of corpses countless times, this situation is just a small scene.

With a slight smile on his face, he took long strides and walked to the middle of the hall as if strolling in a leisurely way. Then he bent down and sat down, with two swords placed neatly on the tatami on the right side of his body. .

There was no one on the main seat in front of me... It seemed that Takeshi Hanheita hadn't arrived yet.

As Qingdeng entered and took his seat, discordant noises gradually emerged from the originally silent hall.

The Qinwang Party members present turned their heads and whispered to their companions around them.

Although they all kept their voices extremely low, with the blessing of the talent "Wind Perception +1", to Qingden's ears, their conversation was no different from shouting at the top of their lungs.

Since they had nothing to do anyway, Qingden simply raised his ears and listened carefully to their conversation——

"Is he really Tachibana Aoden?"

"Well, that's right, it's him."

"I thought that Niou, who was a master of martial arts, would be a big, muscular man."

"I heard that he wanted to see Mr. Wu Shi by name."

"It's so strange... We have no contact with the Shinsengumi, so why would he suddenly visit here?"

"God knows."

"Coming here alone...huh, you are quite brave."

"Everyone, cheer up. Whether the other party is an enemy or a friend is still unknown. If the other party has malicious intentions, there is no need to hesitate, just attack in groups. Remember, if the war starts, you must protect the safety of Teacher Wushi.

."

…

Alertness, fear...all kinds of emotions related to "alertness" permeated the entire scene.

Although the authority of the shogunate has declined sharply in recent years, under the influence of historical inertia, the three hundred princes still have a certain fear of the shogunate.

For this reason, although Choshu, Tosa and other forces have almost put the word "anti-makuta" on their foreheads, they have not yet completely broken up with the Tokugawa family.

In this way, both sides are in a hazy state of "will be broken but not broken".

But no matter how you put it, in terms of political stance, there is no doubt that Seinoto, as a general of the Sabaku faction, has an unquestionable hostile relationship with the Tosa Kinnoi party, which unequivocally and strongly supports the anti-rebellion movement.

In this way, it is not difficult to understand the series of violent reactions displayed by the Qinwang Party members present.

After all... when an important figure from the enemy—and a top-notch "one-person army" combat force—suddenly arrives at your own base camp, anyone will feel nervous.

At this moment, a young warrior with thick eyebrows and big eyes suddenly stood up and stepped out of the queue, approaching Qingdeng with a lunge.

"Lord Nioh, it will take some time for Teacher Wu to arrive."

Qingdeng squinted his eyes, glanced at the other party, and said softly: "Oh":

"It's okay, I can wait."

After hearing this, the young warrior grinned:

"We have to wait anyway, so why not do something more meaningful? I have heard about Nioh-sama's reputation for bravery for a long time, but I am not talented enough. Please enlighten me!"

After finishing speaking, he glanced at his companion not far away.

In the next breath, after receiving the signal from his eyes, the person immediately threw out an ordinary-looking knife.

The sword that flew into the air drew a beautiful parabola and fell steadily into the palm of the young warrior.

"Lord Nioh, let's use this sword to compete!"

The young samurai said as he handed the still-warmed sword to Qingteng.

Qingdeng raised his hand to take the knife lightly, and then pushed the knife out of the sheath with a "click" - a dazzling cold light illuminated his face.

The cold steel blade...but it's not edged.

"In order to be close to actual combat, we members of the Qinwang Party directly use unedged real swords when practicing martial arts!"

The young warrior said this with pride.

When Qingdeng heard this, he couldn't help laughing:

"Do you use force to make friends? Your behavior is quite reminiscent of the Warring States Period."

As he spoke, he handed the unedged real weapon to his left hand, and then slowly stood up.

"Okay, you're right. I'm idle anyway, so why not do something more meaningful? Then... Come on over!"
