Chapter 774 Qingdeng: 'You all come together!' [4500]
This sudden attack was very swift and violent, and the attack angle was very tricky.
An ordinary person would never be able to escape.
Of course, if you want to hit Qingdeng, you still need a lot of heat.
Before the opponent swings his sword, Qingden's talent "Prophecy +9" has already been activated.
He keenly sensed the existence of the attack and the direction of the attack, then turned sideways neatly, avoiding the slashing attack lightly, then tapped his toes, jumped diagonally backward, and suddenly opened a 4-meter-long gap.
distance.
At the same time, he subconsciously stretched out his right hand, grasped the sword at his waist, and was ready to draw the sword at any time.
"Matsumoto-kun, what are you doing?"
Boss Kiryu frowned and cast a surprised look at the attacker.
"..."
The attacker...that is, the guy called "Matsumoto-kun" by Kiryu's boss said nothing, silently clenched the bamboo sword in his hand, and stared at Aomori.
This man is very young, about 20 years old, with a resolute face, a stocky figure, a neck as thick as his head, and two forearms as thick as the roots of a giant tree.
Judging from his physique alone, he is truly a martial arts practitioner.
From the looks of it, he shouldn't be hostile.
Probably just because he wanted to compete with Qingden.
At this thought, Qingdeng removed his hand from the saber on his waist.
Although I don’t know what the situation is, but...since the other party has already called at the door, there is no reason not to respond!
Qingdeng lowered his arms naturally, without any posture, and just stood upright.
Boss Kiryu looked at Aomori, then at Matsumoto, and then stepped back a few steps to make room for the fight.
"..."
"..."
The two fighting men looked at each other.
No one spoke, no one moved.
Out of the blue, Qingdeng suddenly started to take action.
Click... click... click... click...
Qingden stepped forward unhurriedly and walked straight towards Song Yuan on the opposite side.
The posture is relaxed and the gait is light, as if you are walking in your own yard.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"
Song Yuan let out a terrifying qihe, seemingly trying to intimidate Qing Teng.
Qingdeng ignored it and continued to move forward.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"
Matsumoto sent out Qiai again.
However, this time, along with the sharp Qihe, the bamboo sword in his palm struck out!
The sword drew a "cassock slash" trajectory in mid-air and struck Qingdeng's chest.
Although the shot is quick, it may not hit the target.
Qingdeng calmly stood half a step sideways to avoid the attack.
The next moment, his left palm suddenly stretched out like a python emerging from a hole. With his five fingers together, he used his hand as a knife and slashed the opponent's right wrist holding the sword.
At this moment, the bamboo sword in his palm fell to the ground with a clang.
Qingdeng's offensive is not over yet.
His right palm slowly and half-stepped towards Song Yuan with his left palm, twisting his left arm, and then turned his body so that his back was close to the opponent's chest, using his right shoulder as the fulcrum, he pushed the opponent
Throw it out - a very standard over-the-shoulder throw.
With a thud, Song Yuan flew several meters away and landed on his back. He fell onto his back and was in such a miserable state.
[Ding! Talent scanned]
[Successfully copied talent: "Physique +2"]
[Talent introduction: Has outstanding injury recovery speed. 】
[Ding! It has been detected that the host already has the same type of talent]
Song Yuan clutched his back, groaned, and struggled to sit up.
He looked at Qingdeng with complicated eyes.
Although there was a look of unwillingness in his eyes, he still stood up straight and saluted Qingdeng solemnly.
"Thank you for your mercy..."
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Qingdeng just kept his hand.
When throwing Song Yuan away, he restrained his strength in time.
Otherwise, if he attacks with all his strength, Qingden will definitely make Songyuan feel the feeling of "breaking his spine".
At this time, Boss Kiryu came forward and asked half helplessly and half reproachfully:
"Matsumoto-kun, what on earth are you doing? Why did you suddenly attack Tachibana-kun?"
Song Yuan replied neither humble nor arrogantly:
"This is my lord's request."
"She asked me to secretly give him a hard spanking when Ju Qingden arrives."
"The Lord said: 'If he can't even dodge your attack, then there is no need for me to meet such a weakling who does not deserve the name.'"
After hearing this, Boss Kiryu scratched his head.
"Since it is the request of the lord, there is nothing we can do about it... So, Mr. Tachibana has passed the test now, right?"
Song Yuan didn't speak. He nodded silently and moved to the edge of the dojo to make way.
Boss Kiryu waved to Aoden.
"Ju-kun, come on, let's sit here."
Aoto took off the sword from his waist and sat in the center of the dojo with Boss Kiryu.
Before entering the dojo, Qingden could already sense the presence of someone inside.
Including Matsumoto, the number of people was not too much or too little, exactly 8 people. They were sitting on the east and west sides of the dojo - just on the left and right sides of the bosses Aoto and Kiryu - with 4 people on each side.
The ages of these 8 people vary greatly.
The oldest one is about forty years old.
And the youngest one is probably not even twenty years old.
Although their ages are different, they have one thing in common - their eyes are bright, their brows are heroic, and they are not angry but confident. You can tell at a glance that they are not ordinary people!
"Tangerine-kun, let me introduce you."
Seeing that Boss Kiryu was about to release information, Qingto immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
"After all, my master is just a businessman, not a famous person who splits the land and seals the borders."
"If you support a large-scale armed force, regardless of whether you have the money or food, if you do something so outrageous, you will definitely attract suspicion and blockage from the government."
"The reason why our Huluwu has been able to develop steadily to this day is because we are very low-key, know what to do and what not to do, and never cross the line."
"Therefore, we are taking the route of 'skilled soldiers and strong generals'."
"There are only over a hundred warriors in the whole Gourd House who are responsible for attacking forts and destroying enemies."
"Although the number of people is small, every one of them is a master who can equal ten to one."
"And these people here are the best among them."
As he said that, Boss Kiryu pointed to the four people on his left - one of them was Matsumoto, who had just been easily defeated by Aomori.
"The young man you just fought against is 'Oni Matsumoto' Matsumoto Shinichi."
“The three people beside him are ‘Oni Ohta’ Eiji Ohta, ‘Oni Ishii’ Izumi Ishii, and ‘Oni Nakagawa’ Ryuji Nakagawa.”
"They are all representatives of the 'Young Zhuang Faction', they are very young and young."
"The youngest Eiji Ohta is only 18 years old this year."
"Because their names all contain the word 'ghost', the four of them are collectively called the 'Gourd Four Ghosts'."
After saying that, Boss Kiryu turned his finger and pointed at the four people on the right.
"That handsome man with good facial features is the 'two-talented man' Asai Moriyasu."
"He is the grandson of an old friend of mine."
"Because he is both civil and military, he can mount his horse to attack the madman, and he can also dismount his horse and write military orders, so he is called a 'dual-potent man'."
"That person with a straight face is 'Thunder Slash' Shimada Kanichi."
"He is also the grandson of an old friend of mine."
"He is known for his cutting speed, and his sword is as fast as thunder, so he is nicknamed 'Thunder Slash'."
"The oldest person is the 'Immortal Blood Spear' Katakura Takanobu."
??????55.??????
"He is considered the old man of our Calabash House."
"He started serving for the Lord when he was 16 years old, and he is already 43 years old this year."
"Just from his name, you can probably guess what kind of ruthless person he is."
"He is good at using spears and is a master of them."
"His battle to become famous was a battle against bandits 20 years ago."
"Back then, there was a group of ruthless bandits who did all kinds of evil in the Iga Mountains."
"At that time, the shogunate had not yet recovered from the heavy damage caused by the 'Tianbao Great Famine', so it had no time to take care of this group of bandits."
"My lord is most disgusted with such evil people who have evil intentions and take the wrong path."
"So, even though the life and death of this group of bandits had nothing to do with Calabash House, the lord still resolutely issued the order to 'suppress the bandits'."
"The person responsible for leading the expedition is Katakura Takanobu."
"At that time, he took the lead and rushed straight into the enemy camp."
"Even if he was covered with dozens of wounds, even if his body was bruised and bruised, he still waved his spear selflessly, killing the enemy to the point of trembling with fear."
"After the battle, people become bloody people and guns become bloody guns."
"After this battle, the name 'Immortal Blood Spear' spread like wildfire."
After finishing speaking, Boss Kiryu turned his attention to the last person.
"The last one is the 'Little Dragon' Makimura Taichi"
As soon as Boss Kiryu finished speaking, Qingden subconsciously raised his eyebrows.
Not only does he bear the name of "Dragon", but he is also called Makimura...
Qingdeng immediately realized something and asked aloud:
"Is he Mr. Makimura's grandson?"
Boss Kiryu smiled and nodded.
"That's right."
"He is the grandson of the 'Dragon of Kyoto' Makimura Yahachi, so he is called the 'Little Dragon'."
"However, he himself did not like this title."
"He has always believed that carrying the name of 'Little Dragon' gives people a sense of humiliation that 'because he is Makimura Yahachi's grandson, people look up to him.'"
"He is a very diligent and good boy. He has been working hard to improve himself and strive to become a real dragon."
At this point, Boss Kiryu’s introduction has been completed.
Thanks to his explanation, Qingdeng now has a general understanding of the eight people here.
Qingto’s first thoughts about these eight people who are responsible for the military force of Calabash House are:
——How come they are so good at naming names?
Qingdeng was thinking this while secretly twitching his lips.
Compared to their real names, their titles are undoubtedly more impressive.
It's "ghost", it's "thunder", and even "immortal" appears... Each name is louder than the last, even Shi Naian, who has compiled a hundred single and eight generals, can't be named by you!
Qingdeng is observing them.
And they were also observing Qingdeng.
"He is the 'Benevolent King'..."
"So young. At such a young age, he relied on his undoubted military achievements to become a famous man with a territory of 300,000 shi. He is the first person in a century."
"He openly declared that he wanted to marry three wives at the same time - from this aspect, he is indeed the first person in a century."
"When I learned that the three girls he wanted to marry actually included the young master, I was dumbfounded."
"This is also good. If we can get married to Niou, then our Calabash House will have a solid backer."
"The young master is about to get married... I feel inexplicably lonely."
"What are you talking about? It's still unclear whether the lord agrees to this marriage."
Just when they were chattering... suddenly, the side door of the dojo was suddenly opened.
In an instant, both boss Kiryu and the eight people who had been sizing up Qingto and talking quietly about him all shut their mouths, lowered their upper bodies, and saluted respectfully.
The only person who can make Boss Kiryu and others pose in such a posture... is their lord Kinoshita Rin!
Ayoto is not Kinoshita Rin's servant.
Although he is her "quasi-son-in-law", he is also the general of the Shinsengumi and the leader of the Chinjin clan.
So, he just sat upright, neither humble nor overbearing.
Snap... snap... snap... snap... snap...
There were two soothing footsteps coming from the direction of the side door.
After a while, two figures one behind the other came into Qingdeng's eyes.
The man walking behind was dressed in red, his hair was pulled into a beautiful Shimada bun, and his feet were covered with clean white socks.
It was Kinoshita Mai who went directly back to her parents' home after bidding farewell to Aoto last night.
Perhaps because she has returned to her "home field", Kinoshita Mai's every move has a sense of calmness, and she has the demeanor of a young master.
The person walking in front of her was a very old woman.
She wore a furisode with a black background and gold patterns, and her hair was extremely long, with her ankle-length silver hair hanging down naturally.
[Note: Ofurisode: a formal dress in kimono. Its characteristic is that its sleeve length is about 110-120cm, and the bottom of the sleeve can reach the ankle when worn.]
She has a slightly thin figure and is very short, a head shorter than the "short cat" behind her.
——Is she the lord of Calabash House and Ah Wu’s grandmother...
Qingto stared straight at the old woman in black...that is, Kinoshita Rin, looking at her carefully, not missing any detail.
On the visual level alone, she gives people a strong sense of oppression!
She was obviously just a very old woman, she didn't say a word, she was just walking, but she exuded a graceful and elegant aura in her every move!
Rather than being a businessman...she is more like the king of a country!
Soon, Kinoshita Rin came to the front of Qingden and sat down on the main seat.
Kinoshita Mai was sitting behind her.
A slightly hoarse old female voice echoed inside and outside the dojo:
"Everyone, please raise your heads."
When Boss Kiryu and others raised their heads, Kinoshita Rin raised her gaze and looked straight at Aoto.
"Tachibana Aki, first time meeting."
She said with a calm smile.
"It's obviously the first time we've met, but I feel like 'long time no see' for some reason."
"Kuroro and Awu always mention you in their letters."
"As time goes by, I've become somewhat close to you."
Kuro - upon hearing this name, Qingto was stunned for a moment, and then quickly remembered: Boss Kiryu's original vest was "Kuro Mamiya".
Kinoshita Rin's tone was very gentle.
The tone of her voice is no different from those kind old ladies who like to tell stories to their children and grandchildren.
Qingdeng listened and relaxed unconsciously.
However... he hadn't relaxed for long before he heard the other party's conversation suddenly change:
"I already know your purpose of coming."
"The alliance between Qinjin Fan and Huluwu... a very interesting plan."
"But before we get down to business, I want to confirm something first."
Kinoshita Rin said and clapped her hands.
Blah blah blah...
The eight masters sitting on both sides of the dojo stood up in no particular order and cast sharp glances at Qingden with stern expressions.
"I'm very curious - how powerful is the 'Benevolent King' who is so powerful in the world and can make Jiulang take notice and accept him as his disciple?"
"I am an old acquaintance of Jiulang. I really want to see with my own eyes the abilities of his close disciples."
Speaking of this, Kinoshita Lin narrowed her eyes and her eyes became sharp.
"Ju Anyi, what do you think?"
Qingdeng smiled slightly:
"Sure enough, this is the development..."
"Okay, then... you all come together!"
"If you don't attack me in groups, you won't be able to test my true abilities."
