The 10 people who were left behind by Kamino to cut off the queens all had quite good skills, and judging from their movements, it seemed that they had been specially trained on how to cut off the queens for others.

They didn't take the initiative to attack, they just held their swords, defended and dodged, blocking Qingdeng and others.

Qingto didn't want to just let this big fish like Kamino slip away from his eyes.

But facing this group of enemies who had set up a turtle formation to cut off the rear, Qingden and the others had no way to win quickly. Even if they wanted to chase Kamino and others, they were unable to do so.

After working with Saito, Nagakura and others to cut down four of them, this "back-breaking force" began to retreat out of the corridor and out of the transfer station.

Judging from the results of the battle, it was Qingdeng and others who defeated this rear-cutting force.

But judging from the goals of both sides, it was this rear-cutting force that won. They successfully blocked Ayoto and his party, buying time for Kamino and his companions to retreat.

At this time, all the large forces of the anti-barbarian group headed by Shenye had withdrawn from the Fanshu Adjustment Center.

As soon as they retreated to the street outside the main gate of the training center, Kamino heard the sound of dense footsteps coming from the west side of the street.

Through the faint moonlight, Kamino could vaguely make out: at the intersection on the west side, a large number of officials from the execution office were running toward them.

Coincidentally, the person leading this group of reinforcements was Qingto's immediate superior: Arima.

Arima held the handle in his ten hands and charged forward with great momentum. Although he was not good at martial arts, when it came to courage, he would not lose to anyone in the Edo South or North Office.

Kamino gritted his teeth, and then ordered his subordinates to divide into several groups and disperse to escape.

Before escaping, Kamino did not forget to instruct his subordinates to set a fire - so much fire oil was poured into the Fanshu Diao House, but it could not be wasted.

Bear!

A fire broke out.

A small portion of the Fanshu Diao Institute was instantly surrounded and devoured by fire.

Under the illumination of the fire, Kamino and others and the officers of the execution office started a cat-and-mouse chase...

…

…

Qingden also participated in the hunt for Kamino and the others.

The two talents of "taking the lead" and "strengthening muscles" are truly a match made in heaven.

The talent effect of "Strengthening Muscles" of "Muscles Are Not Easily Fatigued" allows Qingden to sprint continuously at his top speed for a long period of time.

In short: Qingden is very good at chasing people now.

He led Saito and others, and coordinated with Arima and others who arrived, to pursue the escaping Kamino.

The ability to cooperate with each other in "strengthening muscles" and "taking the lead" allowed Qingdeng to successfully capture many people with his own hands.

But no matter what, the people of the anti-barbarian group dispersed and escaped...

They scattered in all directions and dived into the complicated streets like fish into the sea, making it extremely difficult for Qingdeng and the others to catch them.

Often after following someone and turning around an alley, I suddenly find that the person has disappeared. Even if I climb to a higher place, I can't find where the person went.

Although some guys who were slow or unlucky were successfully caught, these guys caught by the officials seemed to be just ordinary pawns, and they were unable to catch the most important Kamino...

In desperation, Arima had to ask the execution office for instructions to send additional manpower.

Although the manpower of the execution office was already very tight, Hakui and Atsukawa, who were not willing to let the leader of the anti-barbarian group escape, still forced some people to come over, preparing to increase the intensity of the search.

At the same time, Aoto, Arima and the others received the order - Hakui is now going to the Boshu Adjustment Institute in person, preparing to personally check the current situation of the Fanshu Adjustment Station that was attacked. He asked Aoto and Arima to temporarily stop attacking Kamino.

He was arrested and immediately returned to the Tibetan Book Transfer Office.

Now that the order had been received, Aoto had no choice but to lead Saito and the others, dragging their slightly tired bodies with Arima back to the now quite dilapidated Fanshu Tiaosuo.

Because the fire was put out in time, the Fanshu Adjustment Center was not seriously damaged by the fire set by Kamino and others before they left. Only a small part of the building was scorched by the flames.

The Fanshu Tiaosuo House, which is still smelling of burnt smoke and thin smoke, is noisy.

Officials from the execution office and the town fire department gathered around the Fanshu transfer office, each performing their duties.

Firefighters from the town checked to see if there were any fires that had not been extinguished.

The people at the execution center transported out one after another the bodies of the innocent people who had unfortunately been murdered by the anti-barbarian group tonight.

Qingden saw Katsurin Taro - he was sitting in a corner of the training center with the other survivors with a tired expression, accepting questions from the officers of the training center.

"Tachibana-kun!"

Bo Jing's voice suddenly reached Qingdeng's ears.

Looking past the sound, the gate of the transfer station seemed to be Bojing, who had just arrived. He took the initiative to greet Qingdeng who had returned, taking three steps at a time.

Along with Bo Jing, there were some official officials behind him who faced Qing Den.

"Lord Boi." Qingteng bowed to Boi and the others in a polite manner.

"Tachibana-kun..." Bojing, who walked up to Qingteng, looked at Qingteng repeatedly with an expression mixed with complex emotions such as excitement, joy, and surprise.

His lips moved, as if he wanted to say something to Qingdeng.

After considering his words for a long time, he finally sighed:

"It's been really hard on you tonight."

"Thank you for discovering the traces of the anti-barbarian group in time..."

"Well done!"

Bo Jing raised his hands and patted Qingden's shoulders affectionately several times.

Time goes back to just now - the fires that suddenly broke out in various places in Edo inevitably caused confusion among the officials at the execution office.

The people who poured into the streets to escape the fire and fled to safety areas seriously affected the monitoring of various places in Edo by the officials.

Requests from subordinates were sent to Beifan Station like pieces of paper: What should we do now? Should we continue to monitor the movements of the anti-barbarian group? Or should we terminate the operation and help people escape from the fire?

While Hakui, Atsukawa and the others were struggling, a servant from their own division suddenly came to the Northern Division in a hurry.

He said that he was sent by Ju Qingdeng and reported important information: the Fanshu Adjustment Institute was being attacked by a large number of unknown persons! And these unknown persons were suspected to be the anti-barbarian group! Please send additional reinforcements to the Fanshu Adjustment Station!

Although the fire situation is critical, it is not their job to control the fire situation.

In the final analysis, the first goal they pursue tonight is to track down the anti-barbarian group!

Therefore, after hearing the information reported by this member of the army, Bo Jing and others were shocked at first, and then responded quickly: they immediately dispatched all the troops they could to the Fanshu transfer station.

Under Bo Jing's order, Arima led a large force to the Fan Shu Diao Station - this is a story later.

He discovered the traces of the anti-barbarian group in time, and bravely rushed forward to fight with the people of the anti-barbarian group, saving many people led by Katsu Rintaro, and won a lot of support for the arrival of the large army of the envoy.

Time... For a moment, Bo Jing couldn't think of what words or sentences to use to praise Qingden's various achievements tonight.

Bo Jing was praising him happily - but Qing Teng's face did not show any joy.

"Thanks to me for discovering the traces of the anti-barbarian group in time..." Qingdeng softly repeated the praise Bo Jing gave him just now, and smiled bitterly, "Lord Bo Jing, the person who discovered the traces of the anti-barbarian group in time...

It’s not me.”

"Huh?" Bo Jing opened his eyes.

There were horses and others beside him who all looked surprised at this time.

"Didn't you discover the anti-barbarian group?" Bo Jing blinked hard twice, "Then how did you find out that the people from the anti-barbarian group were attacking the Tibetan Book Transfer Center?"

"That's because..." Qingdeng said this and paused.

He pursed his lips, and after a moment, he continued with a strange expression:

"That's because Mao Xiaoseng reported to me."

"Cat Monk?!" Bo Jing, who doubted whether he heard correctly, opened his staring eyes even wider, and subconsciously turned his body to one side to move his left ear away.

Qingdeng is closer.

After all, it is impossible to conceal or deceive this matter.

Since we have always wanted to tell the truth, let’s just tell the truth now.

Qingdeng tidied up his words and then cleared his throat——

…

…

Time goes back to when Aonto and the others were still at the fire scene in Kenmachi——

"Tachibana Aoden! Catch it!"

A completely indistinguishable gender-neutral voice sounded from behind Qingdeng, instantly attracting the attention of everyone around him.

Qingden, who was also shocked, turned around quickly, and then raised his gaze in the direction of the neutral voice.

I saw a petite figure standing in a shop behind him.

He was dressed in black, with a black turban and faceband on his head, slightly loose black clothes and black hakama, and black gloves and black footbags on his hands and feet. The only exposed part of his body was his eyes.

Looking at this guy standing on the roof, whose clothing looked suspicious, Nagakura, Harada, and Toudo looked solemn, and quickly drew out and raised their respective weapons.

The surrounding town fire and police officers were looking at this mysterious man with different expressions.
