"..."
Tianzhang Academy did not seem to be surprised at all by Tiancang Xiao's remarks.
She looked at the night scene in the distance with a calm expression... After a long while, she slowly asked in a tone of neither sadness nor joy:
"how you said that?"
"...Master Yu Du. The talent and character that Ju Qingden showed today... make me feel terrible."
"Although he is extremely talented in swordsmanship, I didn't expect that he also has such an amazing talent in ninjutsu."
"Unless he is willing to degenerate in the future, his future will be limitless."
Tiancang Xiao raised his white eyebrows and glanced at Tianzhang Courtyard in front of him.
After confirming that there was no abnormal reaction from Tianzhang Academy, he took a deep breath and continued:
"It may be our great fortune that Lord Yu Du can accept such a talent into our new Imperial Palace... or it may be our great misfortune."
"It would be best if he could be loyal and serve us wholeheartedly."
"But if he has a different intention..."
Tiancang Xiao did not continue speaking. He stopped his words at a just right place and allowed Tianzhangyuan to think about the next content.
After a moment of pause, Tiancang Xiao changed the subject:
"Although that Ju Qingden appears to be indifferent to fame and wealth at the moment and has no fight with the world... no one can tell whether he will develop any strange desires... or ambitions in the future!"
"So, what I say may be a bit presumptuous, but... I still ask Master Yu Du to keep an eye on Ju Qingdeng."
"Don't let the 'Benevolent King'... really become the 'King'...!"
After finishing speaking, Tiancang Xiao humbly lowered his head and waited for Tianzhangyuan's response.
Tianzhangyuan did not keep Tiancang Xiao waiting for too long.
As soon as Tiancangxiao finished speaking, Tianzhangyuan smiled as if he had heard some interesting anecdote:
"I understand. Thank you for your suggestion. I will seriously consider your suggestion. Is there anything else you want to report to me?"
Tiancang Xiao shook his head: "No more..."
"If you have nothing to report to me, please retreat first. Now I want to watch the night view quietly by myself and blow the night breeze."
"yes."
Tiancang Xiao said "yes" and bowed lightly to Tianzhangyuan, then quickly walked towards the darkness not far away.
Outside the torii gate of Tsukinomiya Shrine, Tenjoin was the only one standing alone.
Poker face.
It's like eyes looking at another world, staring straight at the distant sky.
…
…
The next day——
The first year of Wanyan (1860), August 30——
The calendar currently used in Japan is still the old calendar...that is, the lunar calendar.
There is no 31st day in each month of the lunar calendar, so today is the last day of August.
In other words - tomorrow is the wedding day of the highly anticipated wedding of Kondo Isamu and the girl named Matsui Tsune who has been preparing for the trial for a long time!
In order to welcome the arrival of this important day, these diners, including Nagakura and Saito, were all mobilized to clean the inside and outside of the test hall.
Qingdeng also came to help, but he didn't do anything serious today. Starting this morning, he started helping with the general cleaning, thinking it was a day off for himself who was so busy lately.
In the evening, in order to celebrate Kondo Isamu's successful divorce and no longer a bachelor in his late 30s, everyone held a lively celebration party.
…
That night--
Edo, Koishikawa Kohinata Yanagi Town, Imperial Guard Hall——
"Everyone! Please look over here!"
Harada's shout attracted everyone's attention and attention.
Harada let out a "burp" and let out a wine burp that was full of the smell of wine. Then he stood up, retracted his hands into his yukata, and then took off his upper body clothes.
"Everyone, have you seen it?"
Harada pointed at a large horizontal scar on his stomach.
"This is the scar I got when I committed seppuku!"
"Back then, before I became a ronin, and when I was an official in the Iyo Matsuyama Domain, a nasty guy slandered me as a 'little official who doesn't even know how to commit seppuku'."
"I just love to be serious. Didn't he say that I couldn't even commit seppuku? I pulled out my wakizashi on the spot, stabbed it into my own belly, and committed seppuku on the spot to show him!"
"Hahahaha! That man was so scared that he collapsed on the ground! I can remember his dumbfounded expression forever!"
"The thing that made that person even more stunned was yet to come! I stabbed the knife directly into my stomach and made such a big gash, but I didn't die! After a period of treatment, I became alive and kicking again.
It’s over!”
"Since then, I have had a nickname: 'Immortal Harada'!"
After listening quietly to Harada bragging about the origin of the scar on his stomach, Aoto sighed with a wry smile:
"Harada...we have heard your story of 'haram seppuku without dying' many, many times..."
At every banquet, whenever Harada was drunk, he would definitely lift up his shirt and tell everyone the story of how he "committed seppuku in front of others when they disagreed with each other, and he did not die."
Ayoto couldn't count how many times he had heard Harada bragging about his "heroic past."
However, Harada's sudden story-telling had a certain positive effect on the current banquet atmosphere.
"Yong, drink less, you are the protagonist of tomorrow's wedding."
Shusuke, who was sitting side by side with Kondo, persuaded Aiko beside him.
"How would it be appropriate to have such a hangover that you can't get up tomorrow or smell like alcohol?"
"Huh? Hahahaha! Father, don't worry! This little wine won't make me drunk!"
Kondo, whose cheeks were red from drinking and who didn't listen to his old father's advice at all, laughed a few times and clapped his hands hard several times.
"After a while... I'm getting drunk... Hey! Ah Sui! Let's sing some songs to cheer up the fun!"
How could Hijikata, who had a close relationship with Kondo, be absent from the banquet celebrating Kondo's breakup?
Sitting next to Kondo, Hijikata, who had also drunk a lot of wine and was blushing fiercely, put down the chopsticks in his hands without saying a word after hearing Kondo say this, beat time with both hands, and sang:
"Ahh~~"
"So cute~~"
"Make a wish to Mr. Baishan~~"
"Serve tea, cut off salt, and even fast for thirty-seven-twenty-one days~~"
"Even so~ If there is no fate, then there will be no God~~"
"Ahh~~"
This was the first time Qingden heard Hijikata singing.
I have to say - the singing is very nice.
Singing a cappella without any accompaniment can still make almost everyone, including Qingdeng, mesmerized.
Everyone put down their bowls, chopsticks and wine bottles and listened quietly to Hijikata's singing.
The hall, filled with the sounds of people drinking and drinking, suddenly became extremely quiet.
Qingdeng didn't do any research on music, so he could only roughly tell the folk song from which place it was based on the style of music.
The beautiful singing voice coupled with Hijikata's handsome face... people who don't know better would probably mistake Hijikata for a well-known singing and dancing artist.
When Hijikata finished singing the song, everyone clapped and applauded.
Harada, the big boy, was the one who drummed the most energetically - he cheered loudly and lay on his back on the ground with his belly in the air. While applauding with both hands, he also clapped the soles of his feet to each other.
"Hijikata, you sing so beautifully! I didn't expect you to be so good at singing. What song did you sing just now?"
After saying that, Nagakura, who was sitting shoulder to shoulder with Hijikata, picked up the wine bottle at hand and filled Hijikata's glass.
Hijikata grinned and accepted everyone's compliments humbly and without ceremony.
"The song I just sang is from the hometown of Asheng and I: a folk song from the Tama area: 'Tama's Ise Onto'. Is it nice? Don't look at me like this. I still like singing and dancing, and elegant poems such as haiku
of things.”
Inoue interrupted with a smile:
"Hijikata! Let's play another one!"
"No, no, no."
Hijikata waved his hand.
"Singing is boring! Let's just chat!"
Hijikata drank the full drink Nagakura had just given him, then turned his head and looked at Kondo.
"A Sheng, you are such a loser. The past of me, you, the Chief Secretary, and Uncle Yuan all messing around together is still before our eyes. I never thought that in just a blink of an eye, you would get married and start a family."
"Hehehe~"
Kondo smiled innocently.
"What? Are you envious, Ah Sui? If so, find a good woman as soon as possible. If I remember correctly, you are 25 years old this year, right?"
Hijikata sneered, curled his lips, and waved his hands.
"Marriage is just a shackle for me. I don't plan to get married and start a family in this life. But, then again... among so many people present, except for the master and his wife, the chief executive's sister and brother-in-law, only
Asheng, you are the only one who is not single."
Kondo was stunned: "Really?"
"Yes." Hsuchikata curled his lips at Qingto and others, "Do you think any of us are married?"
"It seems so...Uncle Yuan, aren't you planning to get married yet?"
At the banquet at this time, apart from the elderly couple Zhousuke and Abi, the oldest one among the crowd was the 31-year-old Genzaburo Inoue.
"I haven't met a woman who can make my heart beat."
Genzaburo Inoue smiled without thinking.
"Furthermore, for me, the trial of the Imperial Palace and the natural flow are far more important than getting a wife and having children."
"I want to take advantage of the current period of spring and autumn to devote more time and energy to helping the Shiwei Hall and Natural Rishin-ryu become the best swordsmanship and swordsmanship halls in the world!"
"Source..." Shusuke, who was greatly moved by Inoue's answer, said sincerely, "I'm very touched that you are willing to dedicate yourself to the trial of the Imperial Guard, Natural Rishin-ryu... but you really don't have to sacrifice yourself for this.
happiness……"
Inoue smiled and said nothing. He just silently picked up the wine glass at hand and toasted Zhouzhu.
"Uncle Gen, are you still unwilling to get married..." Hijikata flattened his lips regretfully...then turned to look at Qingto, "Tachibana, what about you? When do you plan to get married?"
"Um?"
Qingdeng was stunned for a moment when his name was suddenly called... How could he be so good? The conversation suddenly came to my head.
In terms of age, Qingdeng, who is only 18 years old this year, is one of the youngest people present.
Only Souji and Saito, both 16 years old this year, are younger than Aoto.
If you don't ask there are so many people who are older than me and should get married more than me, why are you asking about me?
Hijikata understood the confused expression on Aonto's face and laughed meaningfully, "Hey hey hey":
"Tachibana, don't you have a very good relationship with that little girl from Qianshiwu? They both call each other 'Qingden' and 'Awu'."
That little girl from Thousand Houses...it's obvious who Hijikata is talking about.
"Ah, that's right, Tachibana, you and Chiba Sanako from the Little Chiba Sword Hall seem to have a very good relationship."
"Tsk tsk tsk, Tachibana, I didn't expect you to be quite popular with women."
Hijikata raised the bottle of wine, took a big gulp of it, moistened his throat, and then said to Qingden in a teasing tone:
"Whether it's the little girl from Chishiya or Chiba Sanako, they are both good and good women. Especially Chiba Sanako, she needs a good face, a good figure, and a good temperament.
, it’s hard to find a woman with a good family background.”
"Tachibana, which one of them do you like? Do you have any plans to marry any one of them?"
Throughout the ages, love gossip has been one of people's favorite topics.
After Hijikata raised this topic, everyone, including the master and his wife, focused their attention on Qingto.
"Uh..." Qingdeng, who looked embarrassed, was speechless for a moment.
Speaking of Kinoshita Mai and Sanako... Qingto recalled the embarrassing scene a few days ago when the two girls discovered that he had an extremely fulfilling life during the three-day fireworks display...
After the fireworks display, Aoto was busy meeting Tokugawa Iemo and Tenjoin, so he never met Kinoshita Mai and Sanako again.
After not seeing them for several days, Qingdeng wanted to meet the two girls...but was a little afraid to see them...
Previously, because of the sudden appearance of Tada Koemon, who suddenly went crazy and went around killing people with a big gun, Aoto "dodged a disaster."
However, what is supposed to come will always come... Aomori still hasn't explained to Kinoshita Mai and Sanako what is going on with his extremely fulfilling fireworks display...
According to the values of this era, going out alone with a single girl is an extremely ambiguous behavior. People often regard this kind of man and woman who can go out alone as the kind of relationship that should lead to marriage immediately.
Not to mention the places to go and play, it is also a grand ceremony full of charming atmosphere such as fireworks display.
So from the perspective of this era, Qingden's behavior of going to the fireworks display with different girls for two consecutive days to watch the fireworks was simply extremely romantic.
From Kinoshita Mai's perspective, it was Aoto who took the initiative to invite her to go to the fireworks display. As a result, Aoto went to "revisit the old place" with another girl who was more beautiful and outstanding than her the next day.
From Sanako's perspective, it was clear that Aobori had already developed an ambiguous relationship with a certain woman, but he did not hesitate to trick her, an ignorant girl, into going to the fireworks display together.
One feels that she has been cheated on, and the other feels that she has become a mistress intervening in other people's relationships... Although neither of them has established a substantial relationship with Qingdeng, this is indeed how they feel.
Although Hijikata's sudden question caught Ayoto off guard...but Hijikata's question successfully aroused Ayoto's deep thoughts.
Qingden lowered his eyes and looked at his face that was flattened by the wine in the wine glass in his hand.
He remained silent for a long time.
Qingdeng, who didn't respond for a long time, remained silent...
I don't know if it's a coincidence or something else - whenever everyone in the Imperial Guard Hall holds a banquet, the chief's seat will always happen to be next to Qingto.
The director-general used subtle movements to glance at Qingto, who had been silent, and laughed abruptly:
"Hahahahaha! Mr. Hijikata, why are you asking questions about outstanding single young people like a matchmaker? How can you, a 25-year-old guy who is still alone, have the confidence to urge others to get married?"
"Exactly." Hijikata curled his lips, "The reason why I am still alone until now is simply because I don't want another burden that will restrict my freedom. If I want to get married, I can immediately find a large number of people who are willing to marry me.
woman!"
"Why are you so hostile to marriage?" Souji asked, "Wouldn't it be nice to have one more person you can rely on?"
"Hmph." Hijikata sneered, "I don't need others to rely on me. Even if I am alone all my life, I can still live a good life! You know, back then I..."
…
Unknowingly, the topic changed from "Aonto's marriage" to "Hijikata's glorious past"...
Everyone's attention naturally moved away from Qingdeng.
Qingdeng saw this and let out a silent sigh.
Then he put his upper body close to Souji next to him and whispered softly at a volume that only he and Souji could hear clearly:
"Okita-kun, thank you so much just now..."
Aoto is not a fool, he... No, most of the people present, including Hijikata, should have been able to see that Souji was helping Aoto out of the siege just now.
A person like Hijikata, who is rude on the surface, but actually has a high emotional intelligence, must have noticed the question he just asked, making it difficult for Qingto to answer.
Now that the General Secretary has spoken out to help Qingteng out of trouble, he also followed this step and directed the topic elsewhere.
"Hahahaha, it's okay, it's okay, you're welcome."
The director-general raised a big smile to Qingden.
Infected by his smile, Qingdeng also smiled slightly.
"Look back and think about it carefully..." The voice that only Aomori and Souji could hear clearly came up again, "Souji, it seems I haven't thanked you yet..."
"Thank you? Thank you for what?"
"Thank you so much for putting in a good word for me about the fireworks display a few days ago..."
On August 25th...that is, the last night of the fireworks display, thanks to some clever and extreme maneuvers by Souji, he said a lot of good things about Aoto to Mai Kinoshita and Sanako, and successfully stirred up a bit of the atmosphere that was prevalent at that time.
The suffocating atmosphere between Aoto, Mai Kinoshita and Sanako.
After understanding what Qingnobo was referring to, the director smiled casually:
"Oh, you're talking about this...it's just a trivial matter. You don't need to treat me so seriously because of this trivial matter. After all..."
The director's voice suddenly paused.
Her eyes wandered as if she couldn't calm down, and she once tried to keep silent, but then she changed her mind and showed a slightly stiff smile...
"After all - the two of us are good friends and good partners. Isn't it natural for friends to support and help each other?"
After saying that, the chief commander picked up the wine glass on the dining table and drank it down in one gulp with great courage.
"Speaking of which...Tachibana-kun, I'm actually quite curious."
"Huh?" Qingteng cast a puzzled look at the DG, "What are you curious about?"
"It's a question for Mr. Hijikata."
While showing a silly smile that looked a little heartless, Souji moved his butt in the direction of Aoto, so that his shoulders were almost touching.
"Tachibana-kun, between Miss Kinoshita and Miss Sanako...which one do you like?"
"Ha..." In order to cover up the confused expression he was showing at the moment, Qingdeng pretended to fill his own wine glass.
This brings him back to the issue that had him scrambling just now...
To be honest, Qingdeng has never thought about this issue carefully... No, he has been subconsciously avoiding this issue.
I have a very special feeling for Kinoshita Mai - that's for sure. Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken the initiative to invite Kinoshita Mai to watch the fireworks.
But after going through so many things with Sanako, it seems that my feelings for Sanako cannot be described by just the word "friendship"...otherwise, I wouldn't let Sanako go to comfort Sanako.
I wanted to get happy as soon as possible and force him to go to the lively fireworks display.
Which one do you like the most? Have you ever thought about marrying any of them?
A clear, resonant, yet unspeakable answer that would surely receive strange looks from many people if told, exploded in Qingdeng's mind...
Qingteng secretly looked at the Souji with a strange expression... thinking seriously about whether he should tell the truth to the Souji and tell him his true inner thoughts.
Looking at Qingneng's troubled expression, the director mistakenly thought that Qingneng didn't know how to answer.
Then, the director-general said "hehe" and showed a smile to Qingden with his eyes narrowed into a pair of crescent moons.
"Ju-kun, it really doesn't look like you."
The general manager raised his hand and patted Qingden on the back.
"The Mr. Tachibana I know is a person who is very quick and decisive in both thinking and doing things."
"Why did the decisive and decisive Ju Qingden suddenly become a mother-in-law? This kind of question shouldn't be that difficult to answer, right? Just follow your own desires and follow your inner thoughts..."
The Souji hasn’t finished speaking yet——
"General Secretary!"
A loud shout interrupted her words.
The drunken Kondo walked quickly towards the headquarters with shaky steps and a smile on his face.
"What are you whispering to Mr. Tachibana? Stop chatting! Come and dance with us!"
"Dancing?" Souji was startled, and then looked towards the center of the hall - while she was whispering to Ayoto, Hijikata, Inoue, and Shusuke stood in the middle of the hall at some unknown time and danced Kondo and
Hijikata's hometown: Dance in the Tama area.
Due to the influence of alcohol, and the fact that everyone except Hijikata had obviously never learned any dance skills, Shusuke and the others' dance could not be said to be ugly, but it could also be said to be a "dance of demons".
"Only you, me, father, Ah Sui, and Uncle Yuan can dance our Tama dance, come and dance with us!"
"Huh? I...ah!"
Before Souji could express any opinions, Kondo pulled him out of his seat and dragged Souji to the center of the hall, which was now a dance floor.
——Be quick and decisive...Follow your own desires...Follow your inner thoughts...
Because he inexplicably wanted to see Souji dance, Aoto not only did not offer any help to Souji, but instead looked at Souji being dragged away with a "motherly smile", he silently repeated it in his heart
This is what the Chief Secretary said to him just now.
A series of firm eyes that seemed to have made some determination bloomed from Qingdeng's eyes.
…
…
When Souji's face turned red from shame and he danced Tama's dance with Kondo and the others with his "hands and feet twisting as if they had a consciousness of their own" -
"..." Okita Hikaru looked expressionlessly at Aoto who was watching the dance intently.
Okita Hikaru and his wife are also attending tonight's banquet. They are sitting in Qingto, not far from the headquarters.
As early as just now, when Aoto and Souji were whispering, Okita Hikaru was like a cat that smelled fishy smell. On the surface, he was still eating calmly, but in fact, he was constantly throwing towards Aoto and the others.
Appraising eyes.
Because Okita Hikaru's "peeping" actions were very subtle, Aoto and Souji never found out that there was a wife who was very worried about their sister's future, and had been quietly paying attention to them...
When "peeping" at Aonto and Souji, Hikaru Okita's expression remained calm and indifferent throughout the whole process. There was nothing strange about it, making people wonder what she was thinking...
…
…
At this moment——
Edo, somewhere——
A pair of middle-aged men and women wearing bamboo hats and simple clothes stood in the center of an intersection.
The two of them looked to be in their early 40s.
The man was wearing dark blue clothes and black hakama, with a light green haori draped over his head. He wore ordinary long and short swords on his left waist, and his handsome face without a beard showed many traces of vicissitudes of life.
She didn't have a haircut, but her hair was braided into a neat bun. Her hair was dark and thick, and only her temples were slightly gray.
Her skin is fair, and she has obviously reached an age where it is easy for her to gain fat and gain a big belly, but she has a tall body.
Overall, he is a middle-aged man with nothing eye-catching about his appearance - the only thing about this man that can be considered eye-catching... or should be said to be worth mentioning, is his right arm.
The middle-aged man's entire right arm seemed to have been scorched by fire, and his skin was a very strange charred black color.
On the contrary, the appearance of the middle-aged woman standing side by side with this middle-aged man has quite a lot to say in detail.
This middle-aged woman is truly a "beautiful woman" and a "mature, charming wife".
Bright eyes are like stars on a summer night.
The bridge of the nose is handsome and straight.
The small and exquisite lips reveal a delicate and rosy color.
The skin is fair enough. The whiter it is, the skin looks sickly. The darker it is, the more beautiful it becomes.
The nearly completely black hair is tied into a bun that symbolizes a wife.
Her height was considered moderate for women of this era. When converted into modern earth length units, the height of this beautiful woman was about 1.55 meters.
Although small wrinkles symbolizing the traces of time have grown in the corners of the eyes, mouth and other places, the charm is still there.
There is no doubt that this beautiful woman must have been a first-class beauty when she was young.
In addition to her appearance, the beautiful woman also has an excellent figure.
She wore a bright red yukata, with a wide white belt around her waist that reached the lower end of the southern hemisphere.
The thin fabric that hugs the body and the belt that highlights the presence of something will greatly highlight the beautiful woman's impressive figure full of fatal charm.
In a word - she is a beautiful woman whose appearance and temperament are full of mature charm, and who is extremely attractive to the men who have inherited the legacy of Wei Wu.
"Tsk...where is this place?" The beautiful woman raised the bamboo hat on her head slightly and looked around.
"Wait... let me look at the map..." The middle-aged man put his hand into his pocket and took out a very compact map, "Well... here... this should be... Takeuchi Town
.Then… go forward and you’ll find Takamachi, and go to the right and you’ll find Haramachi…”
"Is this old map of yours reliable?" the beautiful woman put her hands on her hips and asked angrily, "We have always followed your map, but we still got lost."
"It should be... reliable." The middle-aged man scratched his hair guiltily, "I bought this map 10 years ago. In just 10 years, there shouldn't be too many street scenes in Edo.
big change."
After saying that, the middle-aged man buried his face closer to the map in his hand and studied the map with great concentration.
"Tsk... It's dead of night now. There's not even a ghost on the street. I can't find anyone even if I want to ask for directions..." The beautiful woman sighed helplessly, then put down her hands on her hips, with a look of reminiscence on her face.
Scanning the surrounding street scene, "Speaking of which... we seem to have been here before, and I have an impression of this neighborhood."
"I remember that this place used to be a Wufu shop, and that place used to be a confectionery shop, but there were not such wide roads there... Edo has changed so much, it feels like it has become a strange new city."
"Hahaha, if you think about it carefully, we haven't been to Edo for a long time."
"Well, yes." The middle-aged man with a slight smile agreed softly.
"After attending Isamu Kondo's wedding, let's stay in Edo for a few more days," the beautiful woman suggested.
"Okay." The middle-aged man nodded without thinking, "That's what I meant."
"Hahaha, look! I'm right, right? Travelers often pass by this place! You're right to just wait and see!"
Suddenly, a hoarse, rough shout came from in front of the middle-aged man and woman.
The middle-aged men and women calmly followed the sound and raised their eyes, and saw four ronin wearing dirty clothes with knives on their waists, striding towards them in a swaggering manner.
The leader was a strong man with a lot of fat on his body, who was grinning ferociously at the middle-aged men and women.
"You two listen up!"
The strong man shouted with great air.
"We are people with lofty ideals to fight against the foreigners! We are running around to realize the great cause of 'fighting against the foreigners'! Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world! We do not force you to shed your blood and sacrifice your life like us. We only hope that we can provide some money, food and materials to support
one time……"
"Edo is as chaotic as Kyoto."
The strong man's "generous speech" had just begun when he was interrupted by the beautiful woman in a calm tone.
"I thought Edo, as the center of the Edo shogunate, would have better public security... I didn't expect that even Edo had so many scum who actually committed crimes in the name of 'repelling the foreigners.'"
"What?" Hearing the beautiful woman calling them scum, the strong man was startled at first, then his eyes suddenly widened, and he subconsciously raised his hand to touch the saber at his waist.
The strong man's right palm just touched the handle of the saber——
"It's so noisy..."
The middle-aged man slightly raised the edge of his hat and glanced at the strong man with a look that was so calm that even the word "staring" seemed too intense and inappropriate.
In the next moment, an incredible scene happened to the strong man.
"Well……!"
The strong man's face suddenly turned extremely pale, and his legs seemed to have lost their bones. After struggling for a few times, he collapsed face down on the ground, his body twitching slightly.
"Hey! What's wrong with you?"
"what happened?"
"Are you crazy about raising horns?"
…
The three companions of the strong man hurriedly helped the strong man up, only to find that he had fainted.
"He's not mad at all."
The middle-aged man put away the map in his hand and said calmly.
"He was just stunned by my 'power'."
