Chapter 473 A sudden turn of events! Qingdeng vs. Rakshasa! 【5000】
The revolver in Aoto's hand was the trophy he captured after killing Kitahara Konosuke and others.
After finally encountering the pistol that I had longed for, there was no reason not to take it.
Ever since time travel, Qingdeng has always wanted to get a pistol for self-defense.
His level of concern for this matter is second only to marrying Sanako, Mai Kinoshita and Souji.
Although the world Qingdeng currently lives in is a low-level world of martial arts where top warriors fly over cliffs and climb mountains and lift cauldrons, firearms still have an unshakable dominance.
Even if the warriors can hit the bullets, they can't hit the cannonballs.
No matter how powerful a warrior is, if he is hit by a bullet or a cannonball, he will die in despair.
Otherwise, the Edo shogunate would not have succumbed to the giant ships and cannons of the Western powers.
These days, if there were guns and cannons available, who would be wielding swords?
However, in today's Japan, acquiring firearms is not an easy task.
Although it has been nearly seven years since Japan was founded, the country is still in a relatively closed state as a whole.
The frequency of official exchanges is only so-so, while private exchanges are almost non-existent.
Because of the fear of being assassinated by the madmen of the radical anti-foreign faction, Westerners rarely go to the Japanese countryside and walk around the markets.
The general public in Japan are also wary of Westerners due to ignorance and fear.
In the whole of Japan, probably only in Nagasaki can you see the lively scene of "people from all over the world coming and going".
[Note·Nagasaki: A famous port city on the west coast of Kyushu Island, Japan. Before the outbreak of the "Black Ship Incident", Japan was the only window open to the outside world]
Qingdeng, who is now the captain of the third division of the Huosu Thieves Kai, and can be considered a junior officer, does not have access to advanced firearms such as revolvers and rifles.
He could try to get a matchlock to play with.
After all, the matchlock gun is one of the standard equipment modified by the fire bandits.
With Qingdeng's official position, status, and prestige, it was not difficult to bring a matchlock gun without anyone noticing.
However, the matchlock gun is really impractical.
Regardless of the size of the matchlock gun, which is not convenient to carry, its extremely complicated operation method, and whether it can hit the target all depends on the accuracy of the character...
It can only be said that the matchlock gun is suitable for use on the battlefield.
Dozens or even hundreds of people held matchlock guns, arranged in a neat square formation, and fired guns together... That formation, that power, Takeda Katsuyori said he liked it when he saw it!
But if the matchlock gun is used in street fighting, it is really useless. Without the darts, the kunai is useless.
Looking through Qingden's network of contacts, the only people who own pistols are his old friend Katsurin Taro and Elodie's grandfather Anthony.
Qingdeng once visited these two people to inquire about purchasing guns.
However, neither of these two men bought their pistols.
Katsu Rintaro's pistol was given to him by a friend when he was on a mission to the United States.
Anthony's pistol was also given to him by friends in Europe before he moved to Japan.
Neither of them had the means to purchase a gun, and they were unable to help Qingdeng's request.
Apart from the two of them, the only people who might be able to help Qingto get advanced firearms...are Tenzouin and Boss Kiryu.
Tenjoin was the grand imperial office of the Edo shogunate, and it was also the grand imperial office trusted by the general who conquered barbarians (Tokugawa Iemo).
With her status and power, not to mention pistols, rifles, and Krupp cannons, Qingden might even be able to assemble them!
However... unless it was absolutely necessary, Qingdeng did not want to make a request to Tianzhang Yuan to "purchase additional firearms."
The reason for this is a very practical reason: he does not want to be suspected by the other party.
The pistol is not only extremely lethal, but also easy to operate and highly concealable. It is not an exaggeration to call it the most powerful concealed weapon in today's era.
In other words - as long as he has a pistol, even a weak scholar who is not diligent can have the ability of "the anger of an ordinary man, blood splashing five steps".
How did Naoki Ii, the first noble person in Seito's official career, die?
He was hit in the lumbar spine by a pistol, losing his ability to move and fight, so that he could only sit in the sedan chair and wait for death.
Naoki Ii is a master of swordsmanship who is proficient in Iaijutsu and even created a new school called "Shinshin Shinryu".
If he hadn't been injured in the lumbar spine by the pistol... I can't say that he escaped unscathed, but at least there was a high probability of escaping the tragic fate of dying outside Sakurada's door.
It is true that Qingdeng and Tianzhangyuan have a very good relationship.
To be fair, Qingdeng has always trusted this big sister who is 6 years older than him, has no airs, has a bit of a devilish temperament, and shows off her cute side from time to time.
But! No matter what, it can't change the awkward relationship between the two of them as "friends" and "kings and ministers"!
Because of this, although no one made it clear, both Qingdeng and Tianzhangyuan had the consciousness to keep a certain distance from each other.
Qingdeng was not a roundworm in Tianzhangyuan's stomach, so it was impossible for him to know whether his status in his mind was "friend" first and then "subject", or vice versa.
He opened his mouth and asked for a pistol that was very suitable for assassinating others... Qingdeng didn't want to bet on whether Tianzhangyuan would be afraid of it.
In any case, in order to avoid suspicion, Tianzhang Court cannot count on it.
In this case, the only person Aonto can rely on is Boss Kiryu.
Boss Kiryu is from Calabash House.
Qingdeng still doesn't know how powerful Calabash House is.
However, judging from all the information currently known, it is expected that its power will not be much weaker if it can challenge a powerful terrorist organization such as the Hoshi Party, and can also conquer top powerhouses such as Boss Kiryu and Mr. Makimura.
of.
For them, "purchasing a firearm" should not be difficult.
Perhaps intentionally, or perhaps because of his low-key nature, Boss Kiryu has never told Ayoto Akira what his specific status is in Calabash House.
Qingto guessed: Kinoshita Mai is the young master of Calabash House. Since Boss Kiryu can be entrusted with the important task of "teaching and caring for Kinoshita Mai", he should have a certain status in Calabash House.
At the moment, Qingden is in a love relationship with Kinoshita Mai.
If Kinoshita Mai hadn't still been unable to accept Ayoto's ambition of "marrying many real wives", the two of them would have gotten married long ago.
In addition, there is a teacher-student friendship between Qingnobo and Kiryu's boss.
As Mai Kinoshita's lover and your first disciple, opening disciple, and closing disciple, it is quite reasonable for me to ask you for some toys, right?
In fact, Aomori did mention to Boss Kiryu that he wanted to get a pistol for emergencies.
At this time, Boss Kiryu smiled slightly and said warmly:
"You want a Western revolver? That's no problem. It's okay to have a pistol with you. I'll help you arrange it. Oh, you don't need to pay. A mere pistol doesn't cost much."
Boss Kiryu actually had a way to purchase guns without charging money. Qingto was excited for a long time.
More money or less money doesn't matter.
For Qingdeng, who currently has a considerable net worth, he doesn't really care whether he charges a few taels of gold, a dozen taels of gold, or no money at all.
As long as he could really get a high-quality pistol and enough bullets, he would be satisfied.
As for what happens next...
Then there is no more.
If Qingdeng remembers correctly, this happened more than 2 months ago.
In the more than two months since Boss Kiryu threatened, "I will help you arrange it," he has never mentioned this again, as if he has completely forgotten about it...
Originally, relying on his relationship with Mai Kinoshita and his relationship as a mentor and disciple with Boss Kiryu, asking him to help buy a gun was already quite "shameless".
Under this circumstance, he repeatedly urged Kiryu's boss to ask about the progress of the purchase of guns - Qingnobo's nerves were not that strong yet.
Therefore, Qingdeng could only continue to wait.
When the time comes, I'll ask Boss Kiryu how the purchase of the gun went, in a circumstantial way.
Funny to say, Aoto never thought that he would receive the first pistol in his life, not from the hand of Kiryu's boss, but from the severed limb of Kitahara Konosuke.
Although the process was somewhat tortuous, he finally realized his long-cherished wish of "carrying a gun with him."
Since then, Qingdeng has been carrying the captured revolver in his arms.
Unfortunately, the revolver with only 6 bullets was shot out by Kitahara Konosuke, leaving only the last bullet in the chamber.
However, a pistol is still a pistol.
Even if there is only one bullet left, as long as it is used properly, it can still achieve miraculous results.
Until tonight, this long-hidden "killer weapon" finally came into use.
Using one bullet to replace the party cadres who are proficient in archery and pose a huge threat... is not a loss.
The reason why Qingden picked up the Japanese bow and arrow pot on the ground when he rushed out of the workshop was not because he wanted to start a bow duel with Nue, but because he wanted to confuse the opponent and make him misjudge the situation.
Judging from the results, Qingdeng's combat plan was very successful.
Nue made the mistake of preconception.
The idea that "Nioh is definitely going to get closer to me and then shoot me with a bow and arrow" was deeply implanted in his brain.
He thought that at a distance of about 20 meters, Qingdeng had no time to draw his bow and arrow, so he relaxed his vigilance and gave Qingdeng the opportunity to draw his gun.
An archer who could kill people hundreds of meters away died from a pistol in such a confused way... Such a result is both funny and sad at the same time.
Times have really changed.
No matter how well you practice archery, no matter how accurate your arrows are, it will still be difficult to withstand the dimension-reducing blows of firearms.
When he was studying in the police academy in his previous life, Qingdeng's shooting scores were always good.
I haven't touched a gun for more than a year, but fortunately my skills have not deteriorated, and I hit the target without any danger, turning Nue from a gloomy and indifferent person into an open-minded person.
Although the bullet chamber is empty, let's continue to carry the gun with us as a souvenir... Qingdeng thought to himself as he stuffed the empty gun back into his arms.
He sat up and examined the injury on his right calf.
Although the arrow did not penetrate the flesh, the wound it scratched was by no means shallow.
The blood flowed out like a stream.
Fortunately, with the blessing of "Berserker +4", Qingden didn't feel much pain.
One of the talent effects of "Berserker +4" is to increase the tolerance to pain and blood loss.
Qingdeng tore off Yi Jie's clean cloth strips from his sleeves and simply bandaged the wound on his calf.
Just at this time——
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa!
Qingdeng was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned to look in the direction from which the sudden noise came...that is, the factory behind him.
"what happened……"
…
…
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Did you hear everything? One level cut, 10 taels of bounty! Follow me!"
…
Suddenly, a large number of Yakuza with ferocious faces and tattoos of dragons and phoenixes on their bodies poured into the factory and joined the battlefield.
They are reinforcements from the Qingshui clan!
This sudden wave of troops killed approximately 6 to 70 people. Although the number was not large, it was enough to significantly change the fighting situation in the factory!
Thanks to the fierce attack by Qingdeng and others, they already had the upper hand.
But after Nue sniped and killed a group of people, the balance of the battle began to change.
Thanks to Qingdeng's timely attack on Nue, the damage was prevented from further expansion, and "Libra" just returned to its "unbiased" state.
However, with the addition of this new batch of new troops, the Qingshui clan's strength has returned to more than a hundred people, even more than when the war first started!
On the other hand, Qingdeng... they only have less than 20 people left.
The "libra" tilts again.
Only this time, its tilt direction deflected 180 degrees.
Seeing that the enemy was actually coming for reinforcements, Sanako, the Great Salt Party headed by Ebina and the others, and the new Imperial Guardsmen headed by Mr. Amakura Owl, all became ashamed.
Tiancang Xiao frowned, and dark clouds gathered on his face.
Their team is a temporary "mixed army", and they are not familiar with each other.
Tiancang Xiao only knew that the woman wearing women's kendo uniform and the short man with great swordsmanship were Qingdeng's friends. As for the two middle-aged people and the young man playing with the sword, they were the ideals of the Great Salt Party - this
That’s all Amakura Owl knows about Sanako, Ebina and others.
Qingdeng, who facilitated this cooperation, can be regarded as the leader of this "coalition".
Needless to say, Sanako and Souji.
Tiancang, you must do your best to assist Qingdeng in this mission, do you understand? - Because Tianzhang Academy has given orders first, Tiancang Xiao is also willing to obey Qingdeng's command.
As for the patriots of the Great Salt Party...According to Amakura Xiao's observation, Ebina and others seem to respect Qingnobo, and presumably they will not be resistant to Qingnobo's orders.
At this time of sudden change in the situation, Qingteng, who is highly respected by the public, should step forward to restore order and try to boost morale.
But right now, Qingdeng hasn't returned yet, and he doesn't know who should be given the responsibility of taking care of the overall situation.
Just as Amakura Owl was dealing with Shimizu Eiichi's fierce attack and concentrating on thinking about countermeasures——
"Hey, old sir, you are quite capable. You can actually fight with Eiichi for so long."
A clear male voice suddenly sounded beside him.
A young man walked leisurely towards Tiancang Xiao, as if walking in his own yard.
Buzz!
In an instant, a silver flash of light caught Tiancang Xiao's eyes!
Amakura Owl's pupils shrank suddenly, and he subconsciously raised the kunai and wakizashi in his hands.
Phew!
The flash of light penetrated Tiancang Xiao's upper body, and then blood spurted out like a rainbow.
Tiancang Xiao clenched his teeth, endured the pain, covered the wound while retreating, and opened his eyes.
——What a fast knife...!
As a warrior who is proficient in ninjutsu and has extensive knowledge, Tiancang Xiao naturally knows how terrifying the sword that seriously injured him is!
Although Tiancang Xiao dare not call himself a "martial arts master", he is still confident in his own skills.
However, he almost didn't react to the slash just now.
Fortunately, the moment before the blade fell, he subconsciously put on a defensive posture, causing the blade's trajectory to deflect slightly.
Otherwise, his upper and lower body will be separated...
——This man... is very dangerous!
Tiancang Xiao stared at the young man in front of him as if he were facing a formidable enemy.
"Did you block it instinctively...Old sir, you are indeed very capable, I admire you! Old sir, are you interested in joining me?"
"impossible."
As soon as Rakshasa finished speaking, Tiancang Xiao refused without thinking.
"I will never serve anyone other than Your Highness again in my life."
"Yeah...that's such a pity."
Rakshasa looked regretful and let out a long sigh.
"I've been really unpopular lately..."
"Lord Rakshasa."
Qing Shuirong took one, three, and two steps and walked to the Rakshasa's side and saluted him respectfully.
Rakshasa nodded slightly, then shook his wrist to shake off the blood on the knife.
"Eiichi, where is Tachibana Aoden? Where is he?"
When Qingshui Rong heard this, his expression suddenly turned pale.
"Lord Rakshasa, Ju Qingden him..."
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a knife flew out from the diagonal stab and plunged deeply into the ground in front of Rakshasa!
The fierce wind pressure splashed around, making the robes on the Rakshasa's body rustle.
Rakshasa raised his eyebrows, then returned to his calm expression with a smile.
"Ju Qingden, we meet again. I knew we would meet again sooner or later."
Snap, snap, snap...
The left foot is slightly heavier and the right foot is slightly lighter.
Clothes splattered with blood.
A face without any expression.
In an instant, a tall figure appeared near the knife that was stuck upside down on the ground.
Click!
Seitō took Echizen's resident Tsunayoku Shoukanazhong back with him.
"Stop talking nonsense and come over here."
