"A long night" is a perfect way to describe tonight.

Just a few hours, but it seems as long as several days - especially for Qingdeng.

Not only did he run around the warehouse, Luozhong, and Ikeda House, killing dozens of enemies before and after, but he also learned many secrets.

"The number one geisha in Kyoto" Zi Yang is actually Miss Sumire, the intelligence chief of the Great Salt Party.

Tojo Shintaro, who just moved to the right to become Kyoto director a while ago, is actually a member of the Great Salt Party.

Not only that, the burns on his right abdomen made Qingdeng even more concerned.

Of course, the secret that shocked Qingden deeply was his identity as Prajna.

Without any psychological preparation, a senior brother suddenly appeared...

In this way, Qingdeng seemed to have the illusion of "re-understanding the world".

Of course, shock is still a shock, confusion is still confusion, and the important things that should be dealt with cannot be ignored.

The battle is over, and the first thing to do is to clean up the battlefield.

There is no need to describe the results of Qingdeng's victory.

He killed Yoshida Nomo, one of the most insane top demons, and also killed dozens of people with his own hands.

The results at Ikedaya were equally brilliant.

According to subsequent statistics, there were more than thirty corpses removed from Ikeda's house.

There were only about thirty people with lofty ideals participating in this meeting.

In other words - they were basically wiped out in one fell swoop!

Everyone except Katsura Kogoro and Hannya were killed by Kondo Isamu, Souji and others, and no one escaped!

I have to say that Katsura Kogoro is really capable of escaping.

In the "August 18th Coup" half a year ago, Katsura Kogoro personally led the rear troops to block the Huisa Allied Forces.

Logically speaking, this should have been an arduous task with a narrow escape from death.

This is indeed the case. The rear troops suffered heavy casualties, with only one out of ten left.

But Katsura Kogoro returned to Choshu safely with all the parts intact.

This time it happened again - Ikedaya was attacked by a sneak attack, everyone else died, but Katsura Kogoro survived because he managed to escape.

In view of his "good at escaping" trait, the Shinsengumi soldiers privately gave Katsura Kogoro the nickname "Escaped Kogoro".

All in all, although it is a pity that Katsura Kogoro, one of the "Three Heroes of Choshu", managed to escape, it is just a fly in the ointment.

Miyabe Daizo, Yoshida Minoru, Otaka Matajiro, Matsuda Shigesuke... these people are all the backbone elites of the Zunbo sect!

If we make a horizontal comparison, it is almost as if the Shinsengumi has lost Nagakura Shinpachi, Saito Ichi, Inoue Genzaburo, Toudo Heisuke and other captains!

For the Zunban faction, this is undoubtedly an irreversible and heavy loss!

Compared to the heavy casualties suffered by the Zunbo faction, the losses on the Shinsengumi side were almost negligible.

Kondo Isamu, Nagakura Shinpachi and Saitoichi suffered some superficial injuries.

Genzaburo Inoue suffered minor injuries, lost strength, and strained the muscles of his right arm.

Toudo Heisuke was the most seriously injured, with a knife on his forehead.

Fortunately, his life was not in danger.

It's just that from now on, he will have a conspicuous scar on his forehead.

Although Souji was kicked hard by Hannya and suffered some internal injuries, it was nothing serious and he could recover as long as he rested for a while.

In comparison, the losses on weapons were more serious.

Nagasone Kotetsu (Kondo Isamu) had 6 minor injuries.

Oshu Shirakawa resident Kanejo (Inoue Genzaburo saber) suffered 4 major injuries and 19 minor injuries.

Banshu's Yamaji Shige (Nagakura Shinpachi Saber) has 11 minor injuries.

Kaga Kiyomitsu's (Soji Saber) blade was broken.

The four of them were the first to break into Ikedaya, so their sabers were the most severely damaged.

The sabers of Toudo Heisuke, Yoshimura Kanichiro and others also had major and minor damage.

The only person who participated in the battle and whose blade was completely undamaged was Qingden.

First of all, Qingdeng is so good at swordsmanship that he can kill people directly, so he will never fight with others.

Secondly, Vairocana is indeed a great sword that is unique in millions. No matter how you chop or chop, the blade is always sharp.

In order to repair the swords of the generals, the blacksmiths of Jinglianliao will be busy for some time.

[Note·Refining Room: A department within the Shinsengumi specifically responsible for weapon forging and repair]

Unfortunately... everyone else's swords can be repaired, but Souji's Kaga Kiyomitsu really has nothing to do.

The blade of the sword is broken... Even if the master craftsman is reincarnated, he cannot put the sword back together.

The only feasible solution is to melt the blade and recast it into a new one.

The director is still considering whether to recast the blade or just replace it with a new one.

One side suffered heavy casualties and lost a lot of elite members.

On the other hand, except for a few injured, no one died.

Big win!

Undoubtedly a brilliant victory!

Since the "August 18th Coup", another glorious victory for the Samu faction!

The "August 18th Coup" was the result of the joint efforts of many forces. Not only was the Shinsengumi fighting hard, Aizu and Satsuma also contributed.

This time's "Ikedaya Incident" is very different - this huge credit belongs exclusively to the Shinsengumi!

From gathering intelligence to finding enemies to annihilating them, the Shinsengumi fought alone throughout the entire process.

How could such excellent promotional material be let go?

As a time traveler since the 21st century, Qingdeng naturally understands the power of public opinion.

Therefore, Qingdeng has always attached great importance to publicity and maintained very close ties with several major tile merchants in Kyoto.

Driven by his request and the support of his banknotes, various tile dealers in Kyoto spared no effort to publicize the "Ikedaya Incident" and reported it for several days.

The content of the propaganda is nothing more than "the Zunban faction is bad, and the Shinsengumi is good."

It emphasizes the inhumanity of the Zunbo faction, treating human life as nothing, and doing whatever it takes to achieve their goals, in order to set off the Shinsengumi's glorious image of saving people from fire and water.

Judging from the results, this publicity campaign was very effective.

The Shinsengumi's prestige greatly increased.

The people of the Zunbang sect have lost a lot of their hearts.

For a time, the "Shinsengumi" became a hot topic among the people of Kyoto, and it was unparalleled in the limelight.

The Shinsengumi was being discussed enthusiastically everywhere in the streets and alleys.

Or discuss the bravery of Seito, Souji and others.

Or wondering what kind of rewards Qingdeng will receive after he achieves another extraordinary feat.

At this critical moment when "the war is over", Ayoto, as the general of the Shinsengumi, naturally has a lot of work to deal with one by one.

But he pushed away all work.

All tasks that can be delegated to others are left to Hijikata Toshizo and Shannan Keisuke.

If you really can't rely on others to do the work, just put it aside for the time being and leave it to be dealt with slowly later.

After getting rid of all the work at hand, Qingto immediately climbed onto the back of Radish's cow and headed to Osaka alone - on this trip, he was going to find Boss Kiryu and ask everything!

The day after the war ended, Qingteng learned more detailed information about Prajna from the General Secretary.

This includes the other party’s self-identification: Yamada Asaemon Katsumi.

Yamada Asemon... When he heard this name, Aoden couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, with a look of astonishment on his face.

Talking about "Yamada Senemon", this family was known to everyone in the Edo period - this is the famous "Slayer Family", "Executioner Family"! The family has been killing people for generations!

PS: Some book friends raised questions: Even the general manager was defeated, has the combat power of this book collapsed? No, this is just a common "boss getting stronger and stronger" plot in combat-based works.

That's all.

If a character in the later stage can defeat Souji, Nagakura Shinpachi and others, then this is called the collapse of combat power.
Chapter completed!
