"Ah! It's my lord!"
"Sir, why are you here?"
"These guys are finished! The adults are here!"
…
The surviving people in black women's clothing gathered behind Rakshasa in twos and threes.
Seeing the Rakshasa here, the morale of the Black Mother Clothes was greatly boosted, and the haze of being knocked down and beaten by Qingdeng and others was swept away.
They fully thought that Rakshasa was here to help.
However...the strange atmosphere left them at a loss.
It was obvious that up until just now, Rakshasa and Qingden had been fighting fiercely.
But now, after the two of them talked about something, Rakshasa suddenly lifted his fighting stance and looked like he didn't want to fight anymore.
But even so, the atmosphere between Qingdeng and Rakshasa was still as tense as a bowstring that could break at any time.
Such a grotesque scene left the two monks in black mother's clothing at a loss as to whether they were fighting or retreating.
"That...sir..."
A certain black woman bravely asked.
However, he had just uttered a few syllables when he saw Rakshasa wave his hand to signal them to shut up.
Seeing this, the black mother-in-law quickly closed her mouth and tightened her shoulders. Not to mention speaking, she didn't even dare to take a breath.
"Everyone, step back."
Rakshasa said to the people in black women's clothes behind him without looking back.
Hearing this, someone quickly asked in astonishment:
"Eh? Back off, back off? Sir, you..."
"If it's the same thing, I don't want to repeat it a second time."
Rakshasa's tone was calm, but there was a sharp resounding sound like a slash hidden in his words. The crowd in black women's clothes suddenly became silent, dumbfounded, as if they were clay sculptures withered wood.
No one dared to speak again, no one dared to object.
Blah blah blah...
The men in black women's clothing scrambled back like an ebbing tide, and their figures disappeared one by one into the depths of the woods.
In the blink of an eye, there was no one else here except Qingdeng, General Secretary, Zonazi and Rakshasa.
Without the sound of dozens of people breathing, the place became extremely quiet.
"Okay, I have driven away all the irrelevant people. Now... let us have a serious talk, Niou... no, Tachibana Takayuki's son."
As Rakshasa spoke, he cast a look of neither sadness nor joy at Qingdeng.
"Not long after Tachibana Takayuki passed away, I secretly observed you for a while out of curiosity."
"At that time, you gave me the impression that you were just dull and late-blooming. But as long as you are carefully cultivated, you may grow into a reliable official. However, in terms of talent alone, it is not enough to catch my eye."
"But since the beginning of last year, you seemed to have suddenly gained enlightenment. You have become extraordinarily powerful and talented. You have skyrocketed all the way, growing from an unknown person to the famous benevolent king you are today."
"In this regard, I sincerely feel - it is really a 'tiger father has no dog son'. Since he is Tachibana Takayuki's son, it is not surprising that he has such abilities."
Having said this, Rakshasa paused for a moment, and then laughed softly as if he had some realization.
"Hahaha... the so-called 'good fortune tricks people' is nothing more than that."
"I never imagined that a year and a half later, a similar situation would befall me again."
"The same samurai named Tachibana, the same confrontation, the same... eyes."
Rakshasa lowered his eyelids, squinted his eyes, and carefully looked at Qingdeng's eyes.
"Son of Tachibana Takayuki, the look in your eyes now... is almost exactly the same as the look in Tachibana Takayuki's eyes before his death."
The real culprit who forced Tachibana Takayuki to death, killed the Kanazawa brothers and sisters, and manufactured and sold the secret medicine, was standing in front of him... In such a situation, it was normal for Qingden to glare at Rakshasa.
However, in fact, Qingdeng's eyes at this moment were unusually calm.
He was so calm that even using the word "glare" to describe him seemed too intense and inappropriate.
"At that time, Tachibana Takayuki also looked at me with this unpleasant look."
"According to my guess, you should have heard a lot of secrets about your father from Onodera, right?"
"No matter how much Onodera knew, he was never present on the night Tachibana Takayuki was persecuted by me. So you probably don't know your father's experience before his death, right?"
After finishing speaking, Rakshasa put his body weight on his left leg and changed into a more relaxed standing posture. He raised his chin slightly and looked into the distance as if reminiscing.
"At that time...my troops and I surrounded Tachibana Takahiro."
"Unless a divine weapon descends from heaven, he will never escape my grasp."
"To be fair, considering the things Tachibana Takayuki did, even if you kill him a hundred or ten times, it wouldn't be an exaggeration."
"But, I value talents the most."
"No matter who you are, as long as they have outstanding skills, I am willing to hire them based on their talents."
"It is true that Tachibana Takayuki's actions almost brought great misfortune to the Qingshui clan and the Punishment Party behind me."
"But compared to his talents and conduct, these 'evil deeds' of his are not intolerable and can be forgiven."
"Even if we don't mention his wisdom in the manufacturing workshop that can discover the phantom deposits, I am extremely impressed by his courage to confront us even though he is just a member of the clan."
Huanfudian... This should be the "official name" for the trick medicine by insiders of the Fazhu Party and the Qingshui clan. Qingdeng thought to himself.
I have to say, this name is really wonderful.
The word order of Japanese is "subject-object-predicate", which means that the object of the action is placed in front of the subject's action, state or characteristic, or behavior.
The so-called "illusion" means "additional hallucination".
"Dian" means dross and residue.
The residue of additional hallucinations... vividly illustrates the characteristics of this medicine.
While Qingdeng was thinking to himself, Rakshasa kept talking:
"Warriors with horses and horses are everywhere; brave men with great wisdom and courage are as rare as stars!"
"I really can't bear to kill such a rare talent."
"Therefore, as a courteous corporal, I respectfully invite him to join our service."
"I have tried my best to be courteous to Tachibana Takayuki. There is nothing wrong with my expression or words."
"Even Zhou Gongdan, who has a reputation of respecting and loving talents, should not be able to find fault with my etiquette."
"But it's a pity... As soon as I finished speaking, I was rejected by Tachibana Takayuki without hesitation."
"Hey, why is he doing this? Why should he be loyal to the decadent Tokugawa family?"
"When we find and surround Tachibana, he has only two options left. Either join us or die."
"Since he rejected the only way out, no matter how much I like him, I can no longer keep him."
"To show my respect for him, I decided to send him on his way personally."
"To be honest, I never thought at that time that Tachibana Takayuki would be able to surprise me until he was about to die."
"Even though he was in a desperate situation, he never lost the courage to fight."
"He drew the sword from his waist and attacked me without hesitation."
"Takayuki Takayuki's footwork is completely chaotic, and you can tell at a glance that his martial arts is not good."
"But the strange thing is...he is obviously just a weakling who can't even walk well, but he still managed to deliver a pretty incredible slash."
"It's neither an attack with a tricky angle nor a surprising move. It's just a simple cassock slash."
"Although this happened a year and a half ago, I still vividly remember the scene I saw at that time."
"The body is not very strong, the blade is approaching rapidly, and the eyes seem to have flames jumping out of them in the next second."
"The autumn wind wrapped around the blade swept the fallen leaves, and its invincible momentum made me feel confused for a moment."
"In this fleeting moment of confusion, Tachibana Takayuki's sword struck me."
Rakshasa raised his left hand, opened the skirt of his clothes, and exposed his chest.
I saw a scar several inches long across his right collarbone.
"This scar is the 'memorial' Tachibana Takayuki left for me."
"Honestly, I still don't understand why someone who is so much weaker than me can hit me."
"Maybe it was because of the ferocious aura he released at that time that he was 'putting life and death at risk' and 'even if it means death, I will hold you back', which shocked me."
"Although Tachibana Takayuki's back attack hit me, this kind of attack that can only scratch the skin cannot even kill a baby."
"I originally wanted to cut off Tachibana Takayuki's head with one strike."
"But Tachibana Takayuki's courage to fight to the end even if his body and shape are destroyed, I really admire him."
"Therefore, I decided to leave his body intact."
"I fed him a very precious special poison."
"After taking this medicine, symptoms such as loss of voice, high fever, vomiting, and diarrhea will occur within a stick of incense, and death will occur within a day."
"As long as you feed Tachibana Takayuki this medicine, you don't have to worry about him vomiting something he shouldn't say, and you can send him to hell quickly. It's really an excellent magic item to 'help people with dignity'."
Having said this, Rakshasa paused for a moment as if he had some realization.
After a while, he let out a long sigh.
"Even today, I still deeply regret not being able to take Tachibana Takayuki under my command..."
When Rakshasa said this, his eyebrows drooped, his expression was depressed, and there was no trace of affectation on his face.
It can be seen from this that he sincerely felt at a loss for "missing" Tachibana Takayuki.
"Forget it, times have changed, so don't mention the past."
As Rakshasa spoke, he fixed his gaze on Qingdeng, his sharp gaze wandering in the air.
"Whether it's God's will or pure luck, in short - today, at this time, I met another samurai named Tachibana, and I met a man I really want to conquer."
"Takayuki Takayuki's son... Tachibana Aoden, I'll get straight to the point - join the Hōzhi Party and become one of us!"
After saying this, the Rakshasa stretched out his left hand with the palm up in front of him, as if seeking a handshake from his compatriots.
As soon as Rakshasa said this, Zuo Nazi and Souji both showed shocked expressions.
On the contrary, Qingdeng, who was involved in the incident, had a calm expression on his face, as if he had known that Rakshasa would extend an olive branch to him.
"I don't know if you don't know what the Law and Punishment Party is, so I'll introduce it to you in a concise and concise way."
"Our predecessor was the 'Fuzhu Group' that caused a great commotion in the Gyeonggi region 60 years ago."
"Whether it is the former 'Fanzhu Group' or the current 'Fanzhu Party', we have only one goal: to overthrow the decadent Edo shogunate! Overthrow the tyrannical rule of the Tokugawa family!"
Zuo Nazi and Souji's expressions changed again.
The chief minister was born in the Shirakawa clan, and her family were retainers of the Shirakawa clan. They had never received any salary from the Edo shogunate, and she herself had never received any education in loyalty to the emperor.
The Chiba family is a pure "martial arts family". Affected by this family tradition, everyone from the older generation Chiba Sadakichi to the current generation's Zonazi, Chiba Jutaro, Chiba Eijiro and others are all
I am not very interested in the Neo-Confucian dogma of "the king wants his ministers to die, but the ministers dare not not die" and "to be loyal to the master wholeheartedly".
In a word, the two women did not have strong feelings for the Edo shogunate.
But even so, after hearing Rakshasa openly threatening to "defeat the Edo shogunate," they couldn't help showing expressions of disbelief.
Although since the outbreak of events such as the "Black Ship Attack" and the "Sakuda Gate Incident", the authority of the Edo shogunate has suffered a huge blow, careerists from all walks of life are ready to take action, and the situation of the Tokugawa family is getting worse and worse.
But even so, as of now, no one or any force dares to put the slogan of "Down with the Edo Shogunate" and "Overthrow the Tokugawa Family" on the table.
Even the Choshu clan, which had a deep hatred for the Edo shogunate, did not dare to be so arrogant.
From the Asuka period (592-710), when Japan officially entered feudal rule, no samurai regime has ever lived longer than the Edo shogunate.
Before the Tokugawa family established national hegemony, Japan had been in turmoil.
From the end of the Heian period to the Warring States period, there were far more times of war than peace.
It was not until the establishment of the Edo shogunate that the Japanese people finally enjoyed the long-lost cleanliness of the Haiyan River.
Although there were occasional large-scale wars such as the "Amakusa Uprising" and the "Oshio Heihachiro Uprising" that shocked the country, overall it was peaceful and stable.
The swords and guns are stored in the warehouse, the horses are released in Nanshan, and the people wearing white clothes do not know how to fight.
Not only was there no war, but the economy and culture had made great progress.
Especially in the cultural field, unprecedented and rich achievements have been made.
Kabuki, Joruri Puppetry and other cultural and sports arts that became famous in later generations all flourished in the peaceful environment of the Edo period.
The military might of the people to bring peace to the world and end the chaos of the Warring States Period, as well as the various achievements made in the past three hundred years of ruling Japan, have created path dependence and ideological inertia among the daimyo of the feudal state, the common people, and the ministers of the court - Edo
The shogunate is a towering tree that cannot be shaken!
The remaining power of the Tokugawa family is still there, and no prince in the world dares to disobey it!
Not to mention young people like Zuo Nazi and Souji who are inexperienced in the world, even old foxes who have been in official circles, shopping malls and other fields for many years can hardly imagine what this country will become without the Edo shogunate.
What a look like.
Under Qingdeng's calm eyes and the two women's surprised gazes, Rakshasa continued to talk:
“Our philosophy is that ‘all people are equal, and only those who are qualified should be promoted’,”
"As long as you have talent, no matter what your previous status was, whether it is a scholar, a farmer, a worker, or a businessman, we will treat people on their merits equally and promote the elephants!"
"Just like talking about me."
"Don't talk about a warrior, I'm not even a commoner, I'm just a humble slave."
"As long as I can remember, I have been wandering on the streets and begging for a living,"
"It was picked up by a swordsman who was proficient in Iaido, and after being kept in a sword hall, he lived a slave-like life."
"Not only do I have to take care of the food and daily life of the 'Master' and the apprentices in the sword hall, but I also act as a tool to help them solve their physiological needs from time to time. Only in the dead of night can I quietly sneak into the yard and secretly practice 'Master'
swordsmanship."
"Fortunately, I have good talent. Even in this hellish environment, my swordsmanship surpassed the master's cultivation in a very short period of time, and I successfully chopped off the heads of everyone in the sword hall.
."
"Among the party being punished by law, not to mention the comrades at the bottom, even among the cadres at the upper level, more than half of them are from humble origins like me."
"I think you can also see from this - we are by no means a loose association that collapses at a push! Rather, we are a revolutionary group with strict discipline, tight organization, and full of ideals!"
After Kang finished speaking this sentence in an impassioned tone, Rakshasa stretched out his hand towards Qingdeng again.
"Ju Qingden, we need you!"
"You are wise and courageous, brave and resourceful, and gifted with extraordinary talent - you are such an outstanding person, and you are exactly the talent we most urgently need to be able to stand alone!"
"If you are willing to join us, we will treat you with courtesy and entrust you with important tasks!"
"The Edo shogunate is now a rickety house. Just kick the door frame and it will collapse."
"Being an official in the shogunate now is like staying under a dangerous building that may collapse at any time."
"If we don't get out in time, we will only face the tragic fate of 'house destroyed and people killed'."
"Tachibana Aoden, an outstanding hero like you is rare in ten years. There is no need to die with the Edo Shogunate."
"The general trend of the current era is already clear."
"The direct ministers are depraved and incompetent, the finances are unable to make ends meet, overseas powers are closing in step by step, and the failure of the Tokugawa family is fully revealed!"
"In less than 10 years, the 'Edo Shogunate' will become a memorable historical term."
"Now that the defeat of the Edo shogunate has been determined, it is the wisest and most current choice to jump off this sinking ship as soon as possible and switch to a warship heading for the new era!"
"We will definitely eliminate the Tokugawa family and accomplish a great cause that will shock the past and the present!"
"Come on! Tachibana Aoden! Join us!"
"Join us as soon as possible, and one day you will become a rich prince, rise to the top of the world in one step, and have many wives and concubines, it won't be a problem!"
When Rakshasa mentioned the term "groups of wives and concubines", Qingden, who had been expressionless since just now, his brows twitched vigorously a few times.
