"You don't have to look for sales channels."

It's dark in the woods at night.

Li Guanqi looked at Ryota Aoyagi in front of him and said calmly: "As for the new channels, the Lord of Takano City is already re-establishing them, but as you said before, there will definitely be collusion between the Lord of Takano City and the new foreign merchants, just like he and Mi before.

The water gang used to be like that, and what you need to do is to use your identity as a Qingliu family member to do something from it.

For example, to forcibly protect the common people's interests.

For example, let’s prevent the next ‘Mishui Gang’ from forming a monopoly.

Another example... there are many, many, and you need to find an expert in this field. In fact, I am just a layman, so I can't give you any more advice.

The only thing I can tell you is that the strong are respected!"

Li Guanqi pointed at the green samurai sword behind Ryota Aoyagi, "Practice hard, continue to become stronger, and then use the... uh, ahem, sword in your hand to forcibly protect the interests of the people of Honey City with force, because something has happened, this

It's irreparable. If you really feel sorry for it, then all you can do is compensate Micheng in the days to come."

"..."

Aoyagi Ryota lowered his head with a thoughtful look on his face.

"I understand!"

After a while, the young man suddenly stood up from the grass, his eyes were firm, and he bent deeply towards Li Guanqi, cupping his fists and saluting, "Thank you, Brother Jincheng, for your teaching!"

This "big brother" is truly a heartfelt statement.

"Ryota."

Li Guanqi also stood up, looked at him and said seriously: "Actually, I still want to tell you, please don't question your chivalrous heart because of this accident.

Your original intention is good, this is right

You just think too little and understand too little. You can learn more about it when you are doing chivalry in the future, but please don’t let the incident in Honey City stop you from doing chivalry again."

"I understand!"

Aoyagi Ryota nodded solemnly, "I will not give up. I will continue to walk my career in the world and be the kind of knight-errant in my mother's mind. I will always remember this incident and learn from history."

"That's good."

Li Guanqi smiled, but soon the smile on his face gradually faded.

He turned to look at the forest in the distance and sighed softly, "Go back and tell the tofu shop proprietress about the death of her husband and daughter. The tone... be as tactful as possible."

"...I'm still late after all."

Aoyagi Ryota's eyes were filled with sadness, "If I had been a little earlier, I might have been able to save them."

"There are so many ifs in the world."

Li Guanqi turned his head, looked at the bright moon in the night sky, and said calmly: "Liang Tai, Daluo knights are not sentimental. When encountering injustice on the road, it is natural to draw your sword to help.

But if it’s already too late to ‘see injustice’, there’s nothing to say. There are too many helpless things in the world, and knights are not saints. They can’t save every suffering in the world, so just look at it.”

"I understand."

Aoyagi Ryota nodded, "I will go and take the bodies of the father and daughter back. At least they must be buried in my hometown..."

As he said that, the young warrior looked at Li Guanqi and asked curiously: "Brother Jincheng, where are you going next? Maybe we can drop by?"

"On your way?"

Li Guanqi looked back at him, "Where are you going?"

"Lu Jiang."

Ryota Aoyagi said.

"...I mean what are you going to do?"

Li Guanqi was a little speechless, and then smiled helplessly: "If you are going to find a powerful swordsman of the same level to spar, then we are on your way."

"That's right?"

Ryota Aoyagi scratched his head, "I am indeed going to find a powerful swordsman of the same level, but not to compete with him, but to help him steal his bride."

"Um?"

Li Guanqi was stunned, "Having such a good time? This is not what a knight would do."

"No, it's not the robbery of newlyweds as you imagined."

Ryota Aoyagi waved his hand quickly, "We are the side of justice!"

"oh?"

Li Guanqi crossed his arms and looked at him with interest.

"This matter is complicated."

Ryota Aoyagi said.

"Then let's make a long story short."

Li Guanqi looked at the surrounding woods, "Or should I tell you slowly from the beginning? Although I don't have enough time, at least I still have time to listen to the complete story."

"Then let me start from the beginning."

Aoyagi Ryota pondered for a moment, as if he was organizing his words, and then spoke after a long while: "I know a friend, his name is Matsuzaki Daigo. He is not from the Aoyagi family, but his father is a retainer of the Aoyagi family, so he has been since he was a child.

I grew up in the Qingliu family.

After I was brought back to the Aoyagi family by Shinya Aoyagi, everyone in the Aoyagi family looked down on me because I was an illegitimate child.

There is only enlightenment.

Dawu treats me as a friend.

He and I have experienced so many things that I can't even finish them in a short while, so I won't talk about them at all.

In short, Brother Jincheng, Dawu is my best best friend in this world.

And now he is in trouble.

Dawu likes a girl, but that girl is attracted by a young master of the Mizutani family and wants to forcefully marry her.

The girl didn't want to marry, but she had no choice. She was threatened by the Mizutani family. If she didn't marry, the whole family would die.

Dawu wrote to me a while ago, saying that he wanted to save the girl from the Mizutani family.

And the best time to take action is on your way to see your bride!

So Dawu asked me for help.

He is my best friend, I must go."

Speaking of this, Aoyagi Ryota's eyes were extremely firm.

"Mizutani family?"

Li Guanqi was a little surprised, "Forgive me for being ignorant, I have never heard of this family. What is its background? What is its strength?"

"A family that is neither big nor small."

Aoyagi Ryota replied: "The head of the Mizutani family is a peak Five Elements warrior. In addition, there are several Five Elements warriors in the family.

But on the way to see the bride off, there should be at most four elephant-level warriors escorting her.

Based on the situation of the Shuigu family, it is impossible for them to invite a five-element-level clan elder just to send a bride to the younger generation.

And Dawu is also very strong, he is a warrior in the late stage of Four Symbols."

As he spoke, Aoyagi Ryota raised his right hand, clenched his fist tightly, and said confidently: "If it is Dawu, he and I will definitely succeed in snatching the bride and rescuing that girl from the clutches of the Mizutani family!"

"Forehead……"

Li Guanqi looked uninterested and just said casually: "It's fine to act chivalrously and righteously, but I hope the Honey City incident will be the last one in your life."

"certainly!"

Aoyagi Ryota nodded quickly, "When Dawu and I rescue people, we will take the girl's family away together. We will not just save the girl and let her family be retaliated by the Mizutani family."

"Did the Matsuzaki Daigo you mentioned understand the meaning of the sword?"

Li Guanqi asked curiously.

"No."

Aoyagi Ryota shook his head.

...Sure enough, even if the secret of "power" has been leaked to the Sakura Shogunate, the sword intention is not a piece of shit.

Ryota Aoyagi is from the Aoyagi family, one of the Nine Sakura Warriors.

As for Matsuzaki Daigo's father, he was just a retainer of the Aoyagi family. With such an origin and condition, it would be difficult for him to understand the meaning of the sword.

"You go ahead."

Li Guanqi looked at Ryota Aoyagi, chuckled and said, "I wish you immediate success."

"Thank you, Brother Jincheng, for your blessing!"
