The faint fragrance lingered in front of Qingdeng's nose.

Due to the angle, the back of her neck, as white as snow and as delicate as satin, jumped into Qingdeng's field of vision clearly.

I have to say that her "looking up from below" view is really lethal.

It looks pitiful, like a lovable little animal, which greatly arouses the desire for protection.

If it were a naive and inexperienced young man, after receiving Ziyang's seductive sight, he would probably be in a state of confusion, and he would not even be able to tell the difference between east, west, and north.

Obviously, Qingden has nothing to do with the term "pure boy".

After marrying three stunningly beautiful wives, his threshold for "beauty" has been raised extremely high.

Just a look can't shake his mind.

I saw him looking as normal and smiling faintly:

"Please forgive me, I really can't get away recently."

"I have to govern Qinjin, command the Shinsengumi, and manage the Eighth Prince hundreds of miles away, with thousands of people working together. I am so busy that I wish I could borrow the cat's paws."

"Not to mention Gion, I rarely even come to Kyoto now."

After that, he raised the wine glass in his hand and drank it in one gulp.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ziyang half-closed his eyes and curved the corners of his mouth into the shape of a "ω" cat mouth.

"It doesn't matter, I will be satisfied if I can see you, this great hero, from time to time~~"

With that said, she picked up the wine bottle again and filled Qingden's glass.

While pouring the wine, she blinked her beautiful eyes a few times, with a gentle look in her eyes.

When Qingdeng saw this, he was secretly speechless and thought to himself:

——The skills of "Kyoto's best geisha" are getting deeper and deeper...

This is not the first time Ziyang has accompanied Qingdeng at a banquet.

Although he already had corresponding experience, after another personal contact with the other party, Qingto once again realized deeply: A woman who can dominate the geisha industry is really extraordinary!

Among the various women Ayoto knows, the only ones who can compete with Ziyang in terms of appearance are Tenzouin Atsuhime and "the most beautiful woman in Edo" Sanako.

Compared to Sanako's elegance, Awu's gentleness, Souji's liveliness, and Tianzhangyuan's quirkiness, Ziyang is a different type of woman.

Although it seems very rude to use such words to describe a woman, but... apart from "saucy", Qingdeng really can't think of any other alternative words!

Ziyang's "coquettishness" is not the kind of "coquettishness" that smells of prostitution.

But... it is "sexy" that is full of charm, extremely enchanting, and makes men feel like they are intoxicated.

Although geisha and geisha are two completely different professions, their essence is the same - they both rely on "pleasing men" to make a living.

Since geishas cannot sell themselves, if they want to attract men, they have to find other ways and work hard.

Language, expressions, small movements... From head to toe, from the inside to the outside, they turn their entire body into a weapon to attract men.

Say what men like to hear.

Show a look that men like to see.

Repeatedly tugging at a man's heartstrings with ambiguous actions.

Only in this way can men remember her and pamper her, and her own fame and performance will skyrocket.

It is no exaggeration to say that every geisha who is slightly famous is a master of seducing... ah, no, attracting men!

And Zi Yang, who aspires to the top of Gion, is even more outstanding among them.

How to make a man fall in love with you quickly—on this issue, even if you search all over Kyoto, you won’t be able to find a woman who has more say than Zi Yang.

Her charm skills have reached the level of perfection.

Over time, "attracting men" has almost become his instinct.

Even if you want to correct it, I'm afraid you won't be able to correct it.

Therefore, the actions Ziyang made just now that seemed to seduce Qingdeng should be out of habit and not intentional.

At the same time, because "attracting men" has become her instinct, it is difficult to use specific words to describe Ziyang's charm.

Although Tianzhangyuan always gives people a sense of coquettishness, her "coquettishness" is superficial.

The reason is simply because she has a charming and charming face.

As long as you have a little contact with this person, you will quickly find that his true nature is a little devil who likes to play tricks and loves to play tricks on people.

Qingdeng once jokingly called Tianzhangyuan "Succubus" - now it seems that this title will change hands.

Only Tianzhangyuan, who has a charming face but is a naughty boy on the inside, is so weak!

In comparison, Ziyang is the real "succubus"!

Her innate appearance of being a moon-shy woman, coupled with her painstakingly trained charm skills, made her a succubus, like a "walking female hormone", making thousands of men surrender to her.

Of course, although Ziyang had many captives under her skirt, Qingdeng was not among them.

On the one hand, it is because Qingden is a pure love warrior who is loyal and not close to women.

Although Ziyang's charm was intoxicating, Qingdeng still felt that the three lovely wives in his family made him even more infatuated.

As for the other side...he has been secretly wary of Ziyang.

In order to fight against the forces of the shogunate and samu, Choshu really did everything possible.

In fact, the energy possessed by geisha and wandering girls is far beyond ordinary people's imagination - they are the people who have the most contact with the upper class in the market, no one!

In the geisha district and Yukaku, you can always see the figures of dignitaries.

Regardless of whether he is a wealthy businessman or a high-ranking official, his flaws will always be revealed in front of beautiful women.

Using "honey traps" to seduce others and obtain information...this trick is not new.

This is what female ninjas do exclusively.

Although there are indeed female ninjas who specialize in fighting and infiltrating in this world - A Wu falls into this category - it cannot be denied that the initial function of female ninjas is to rely on "honey traps" to collect intelligence.

As early as the Warring States Period, Takeda Shingen had trained and employed a large number of female ninjas.

He selected beautiful women from the war orphans, carefully trained them, and ordered them to disguise themselves as witches who preached everywhere - their priestly status made it easier to travel around the country, and they were less noticeable - while traveling around, performing dances, selling themselves, and collecting intelligence.

Because they wander around and disguise themselves as witches, they are also called "walking witches."

To this day, "walking shrine maidens" whose main job is prostitution and whose side job is preaching are still widespread, but they are no longer well-trained female ninjas.

Since the "August 18th Coup", Choshu has sent countless spies to Kyoto. Although they have made great efforts, the process has not been smooth.

Qinjin, Aizu and Satsuma unite with each other to strictly control all entry points into Beijing.

Once you encounter a person from Changzhou, you will directly capture him and send him to prison for interrogation. You would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go.

Under the strong blockade of the "Qin-Huisa Allied Forces", Changzhou suffered a lot, and the spies sent out were most likely to fail.

Therefore, Changshu had to find other ways to collect intelligence from Kyoto.

Finally, they set their sights on Gion and Shimabara.

Not long ago, Seito received credible news: Choshu spent huge sums of money to buy a large number of geisha and wandering girls in Gion and Shimabara.

Under the money offensive, it is not difficult to bribe these women who are greedy for money.

In this way, Choshu successfully established a secret "Female Ninja Group" in Kyoto without anyone noticing!

Changzhou gave them only one task: to extract confidential information from the mouths of the dignitaries around them while they were drinking and laughing!

I have to say, this trick is very effective.

When the wine was drunk, many people were led by the nose, and important information was stolen away from them in such a confused way.

As we all know, once a man goes to the wine table and there is a beautiful woman at the table, his IQ will plummet.

After having a few glasses of strong drinks and being coaxed by the beauties around me, my self-esteem and vanity all come up.

In order to show off in front of the beauty and to please the beauty, he would say any nonsense.

Qingdeng has seen too many such things.

As early as when he was a young boy from the town of Edo Kitaban, he had seen scenes like this at banquets and cocktail parties again and again.

Those high-ranking officials and businessmen who were usually serious, became arrogant after two mouthfuls of horse piss.

What should be said and what should not be said were all said in one smooth flow. How could it be so outrageous?

Therefore, from the moment Ziyang sat beside him, Qingdeng was secretly vigilant and always maintained a certain physical and psychological distance from him.

The acquaintance between Qingden and Ziyang can be traced back to the time when he first arrived in Kyoto.

Soon after he arrived in Luo, he met Ziyang by chance.

Even so, they didn't know each other well enough to know each other well.

To Qingdeng, Ziyang was just "a person I happened to know."

Under her "succubus" appearance, what kind of person is she? Does she love Samu or reject Yi? Is she having an affair with Changshu?
