Aomori was one of the last people to go to Kyoto.

Kondo Isamu and Hijikata Toshizo followed closely beside him, one on the left and one on the right.

As soon as these words came out, everyone at the scene stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Qingdeng.

Qingdeng waved his hand:

"You remain on standby."

As he said that, he, Toshizo Hijikata and Isamu Kondo walked into the depths of the club and disappeared after a while.

Although Qingto and others said nothing, based on their demeanor and actions, everyone had vaguely guessed that the Ninth Division had not yet found out the specific time and place of the meeting!

Seeing this, Serizawa Duck twisted his mouth:

"The situation is not optimistic..."

…

After entering the inner room of the club, Qingdeng and others casually found an open space and sat on the ground in the shape of "pin".

Hijikata Toshizo took out the map of Kyoto from his pocket, spread it in front of the three people's knees, and said:

"All members of the Ninth Division lurking in Kyoto have been dispatched, trying their best to find the whereabouts of Miyabe Daizo, Katsura Kogoro and others, as well as the location and time of tonight's meeting."

"But it's a pity...so far, we have not received accurate information."

"However, judging from the various information currently available, the meeting location can basically be determined to be in the northern area from Gion to Sanjo Avenue."

As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and drew the range on the map.

After Kondo Isamu looked at it, he immediately put on a solemn expression:

"Although the scope has been narrowed, the area from Gion to Sanjo Avenue is still quite large..."

As he spoke, he turned to look at the sky outside the window, and then said to Qingdeng:

"Ji Jun, it's getting dark and night has arrived... What should we do now?"

After he finished speaking, he stared at Qingdeng intently.

Hijikata Toshizo also raised his gaze and looked directly at Aoto, waiting for Aoto's instructions.

Facing the gazes of the two men, Qingden lowered his eyelids, lowered his gaze, and looked at the map in front of his knees without blinking, as if in deep thought.

He originally expected that the Ninth Division could find out the information, confirm the location and time of the meeting, or directly find out the specific whereabouts of Miyabe Daizo, Katsura Kogoro and others.

It's a pity... Judging from the current situation, his expectations are about to come true.

It is already dark now, the "Shanboko Parade" is about to begin, and the summit meeting of the Zunbo Sect must also be held soon.

Should we continue to wait for news from Division 9?

Or should I say...

Qingto fell into deep thinking - the decision he makes next will largely determine the fate of Kyoto tonight, and may even directly affect the future!

Miyabe Daizo, Katsura Kogoro, Yoshida Minoma...these people are to the Zunbo faction what Hijikata Toizo, Nagakura Shinpachi, and Saito Ichi are to the Shinsengumi.

They are the undoubted backbone of the Zunbang Sect!

If Qingteng and others can successfully attack the meeting site and wipe out all these people...the impact on the Zunbang Sect and the future will be immeasurable! It will be enough to change the direction of history!

Qingdeng's current thinking and his next decision-making are all filled with such energy!

Knowing this, Kondo Isamu and Hijikata Toshizo both held their breaths and did not dare to say anything. They wished they could eliminate their existence directly so as not to disturb Aoden.

About 10 seconds later, Qingdeng slowly raised his lowered eyelids, his eyes firm and shining.

"The matter has come to an end, we won't wait for any news from Division 9."

"Now that we have determined that the meeting location is in the northern area from Gion to Sanjo Bridge, we will directly search this entire area!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and drew on the map.

"We are divided into two groups."

"Isamu is in charge of the west of Kamogawa River, patrolling the wooden house town between Shijo Ohashi and Sanjo Ohashi."

"I will be responsible for the east side of Kamogawa. I will search all the way north along Nawate Street."

"Don't let go of all the hotels and izakayas along the road. Check them one by one!"

After hearing this, Kondo Isamu and Hijikata Toshizo suddenly became stern.

They didn't say anything more and said in unison:

"yes!"

Qingden raised his head and asked Kondo Isamu:

"Yong, how many people do you want?"

Isamu Kondo slightly curved his lips and smiled confidently:

"7 people!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hijikata Toshizo frowned.

"Seven? Are there enough people?"

Isamu Kondo replied:

"The area east of Kamogawa is very large, and Tachibana-kun needs more manpower than I do. For me, 7 people are enough!"

As he spoke, he cast a resolute look at Qingden.

Qingdeng was also looking at him, staring straight into his eyes.

After a moment, he asked slowly:

"...Yong, which 7 people do you want?"

Kondo Isamu replied without hesitation:

"I want Xiaoji and Shinpachi, the others are free to do as they please."

"Just Xiao Si and Man Xin? Don't you need anyone else?"

Isamu Kondo smiled:

"If I were a little more greedy... I actually still want Saito. But if Saito is taken away, you will only have one person left under your command who can take charge of his own business."

Qingdeng smiled and said nothing.

…

…

Aoto, Isamu Kondo and Toshizo Hijikata walked out of the club and appeared in front of everyone.

"Everyone listen up!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone stood up like a conditioned reflex and rushed to Qingdeng.

Qingdeng glanced at the entire audience while loudly announcing the battle plan:

"We are divided into two groups!"

"Director Kondo led Tachibanaji, Nagakura Shinpachi, Inoue Genzaburo, Chief Souma, Toudo Heisuke, Yoshimura Kanichiro, and Nakazawa Qin, a total of 8 people, to search the wooden house town west of Kamogawa."

"The rest - Hijikata Toshizo, Saito Ichi, Nakazawa Sadachi, Serizawa Kamo, Tani Sanjuro, Niimi Nishiki, Tani Mantaro, Harada Sanosuke, Matsubara Tadashi, all come with me! Let's search for Kamogawa. East’s Nawote Pass!”

"above!"

"Let's start checking the equipment now.

"In 5 minutes, we will go out to fight against the thieves!"
