Chapter 126 Tianzhangyuan: “I want to marry the number one man in Japan
!"【5600】
"Inspiring everyone's morale..." Tianzhangyuan thought for a moment and nodded, "That's fine... Special methods are used in special times. Now we really need some role models to motivate the officials."
Seeing that Tianzhangyuan supported his approach, Tokugawa Iemo's eyebrows showed a hint of joy.
"In less than three months, he has achieved two major achievements... Tachibana Aoden's current achievements can be regarded as the best among his peers." Tokugawa Iemo slowly put away the scroll in his hand with emotion on his face. Starting, "I just hope that Ju Qingden will not be complacent because of the huge reward and rest on his laurels."
The best among his peers - After hearing this sentence, Tianzhangyuan's eyebrows twitched in an imperceptible amount.
Perhaps he was touched by these familiar words... A fragment of memory that had been buried in Tianzhangyuan's mind for a long time, and the thick dust covering it, was blown away at this moment.
This fragment of memory, blown away by the old dust, quickly condensed into a specific picture, flashing quickly in front of Tianzhangyuan's eyes——
…
…
"Yu Yi, why haven't you slept yet?"
"Father...I can't sleep a little bit."
"Oh, are you too nervous? That's right, tomorrow is your coming-of-age ceremony, so it's normal for you to feel anticipation and nervousness."
"No, Father, I'm not nervous about tomorrow's coming-of-age ceremony... I'm worried..."
"Worried? Yu Yi, what are you worried about?"
"Once the coming-of-age ceremony is over, I will officially become a big girl who can get married... What kind of man will my future husband be? When I think of this, I can't sleep."
"Hahaha... I never thought that Yu Yi, who is always as carefree as a boy in our family, would act like a girl, hahahaha!"
"Father, don't laugh! I want to talk to you, that's why I'm telling you this! If you laugh again, I will never talk to you about anything from now on!"
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh, I won't laugh. Are you worried about what kind of man you will marry in the future... Then Yu Yi, what kind of man do you want your future husband to be?"
"Well... I hope my future husband will be the number one man in Japan!"
"Japan, Japan's number one?"
"Yeah! Regardless of his peers or seniors, no one can compare with him. He is the number one man in Japan!"
"Is Japan number one... Haha, Yu Yi, you are very ambitious. It may be difficult to find such a man."
…
"What did you say?! Say it again!"
"The feudal lord, the feudal lord, wants to take Miss Yu as his adopted daughter, and then let Miss Yu go to Edo to become the new imperial office of the shogunate..."
"The new imperial office of the shogunate...? Want Yu Yi to marry that Tokugawa family? No! I absolutely won't allow it! I won't allow Yu Yi to marry that useless person who doesn't even have a normal mind! The feudal lord, he is What do you want to do? Does he want to sacrifice my daughter’s happiness for the benefit of the feudal country?!”
"Coco, but...the feudal lord has given the order..."
"I don't care what orders Shimazu Saibin gives! No matter what, it won't do to use my daughter as a sacrifice! Prepare the sedan chair! I will go to the feudal government to talk to Shimazu Saibin now! Why are you standing there! Prepare the sedan chair! Prepare the sedan chair
!”
…
…
"...Sir...Mother...Mother, what's wrong with you?"
"Huh?" Tenzouin came back from his memories due to Tokugawa Iemo's call. He blinked hard several times and looked up at Tokugawa Iemo who was looking at him with worried eyes.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Tokugawa Iemo frowned, "Why were you so distracted just now? Are you too tired?"
"Ah, it's okay." Tianzhangyuan smiled softly, "I just... recalled some past events."
"Past events? Mother, what kind of past events are they? Can you tell me about them?"
"...just some old things that are not worth mentioning."
Tianzhangyuan still smiled gently.
However, the corners of her raised mouth were hiding a bit of sourness at this moment...
…
…
At this moment——
Edo, suburbs, somewhere——
A dark shadow emerged from the shadow where the moonlight could not reach.
He looked around to make sure there were no outsiders around, then turned around and waved to the dim shadow he had just emerged from.
"Mr. Kamino, it's safe outside. You can come out now."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the shadows "squirming" - the expressionless Kamino slowly walked out of the shadows.
Following Kamino out of this shadow, there were also the one-armed samurai and many of Kamino's cronies.
Now there happened to be a thin dark cloud covering the strings, and the light was quite dim.
But even in such dim light, the one-armed samurai and the others could clearly see that Kamino's face was frighteningly green...as if green water could drip out at any time.
Everyone who knew that Kamino was in a bad mood now wisely kept their mouths shut, and no one dared to be born.
Kamino's current mood...is actually not bad.
But it’s pretty bad!
As soon as he recalled what happened just now, Kamino felt as if his chest was blocked by a big stone with annoyance.
Tonight was supposed to be a pretty perfect night.
The Tianzhong Party was an organization that had just emerged and, like their anti-barbarian group, pursued "radical anti-barbarian ideas."
Their anti-barbarian group had a certain amount of contact with the Tianzhong Party. Although their relationship was not very close, there was no bad blood between them, and the two sides were on the same page.
However, some recent unscrupulous acts of the Tianzhong Party have angered Shenye.
These guys actually dared to poach him! With money and beauty, they poached several talented people under Kamino's command!
We didn't come to provoke you, but you took the initiative to provoke us!
The anti-barbarian group was Kamino's hard work, and he had no idea of forgiving the Tianzhong Party for poaching him.
The strength of the Tianzhong Party is far inferior to that of the anti-barbarian group. If there is a fight with them, the anti-barbarian group will definitely win.
But Kamino did not want to use "reckless" methods to retaliate against the Tianzhong Party.
Even if they face the Tianzhong Party, their anti-barbarian group has an absolute advantage in combat power, but if they directly confront the Tianzhong Party, they will definitely pay a certain amount of casualties.
In order to come up with a strategy that could cripple or even directly destroy the Tianzhong Party without spending a single soldier, Kamino sent several spies who pretended to defect to the Tianzhong Party to collect internal information about the Tianzhong Party for him.
It didn't take long for Kamino to learn a very useful piece of information from the spies - in order to save enough military expenses, the Tianzhong Party decided to sneak attack Ryogoku Guangxiaoji tonight and rob Ryogoku Guangxiaoji's money.
After learning this information, a strategy of "driving the tiger to swallow the wolf" quickly emerged in Kamino's mind...
The strategy he came up with to "destroy the tiger and devour the wolf" was not complicated at all - he wanted to let the execution office know that the Tianzhong Party would attack Liguang Guangxiao Road tonight, and let the officials from the execution station come to help him severely inflict heavy damage on the Tianzhong Party.
!
The plan has been decided, all that's left is to polish the details.
In order to make the information that "Ryoku Hirokoji will be attacked" "leak" more natural, Kamino asked people to bring false news to Hirota Kozaburo: Their rebel group was going to rob Ryoko Hirokoji's money tonight!
As for Hirota Kozaburo... Kamino noticed very early on that this grassroots member of their anti-barbarian group did not have a very firm determination to resist the barbarians.
Therefore, Kamino expected that after Hirota learned that their anti-barbarian group was going to do such a crazy thing, he would most likely feel timid and leak the information to the execution office.
The reason why it is said that their anti-barbarian group is trying to rob Ryogoku Guangxiaolu's money is also very simple: compared to the little-known Tianzhong Party, it is obviously the anti-barbarian group that can attract the attention and vigilance of the observance office.
.
Kamino's original purpose was just to take revenge on the Tianzhong Party and destroy the Tianzhong Party. He had no other plans.
But after thoroughly formulating this strategy of "driving the tiger and swallowing the wolf"... Kamino's ambition suddenly grew!
Kamino has always had a big prejudice against the Edo prison camp - in Kamino's eyes, the officials of the prison camp who have always been against their anti-barbarian patriots are just a bunch of deadbeats and lackeys!
Why not... let's take this opportunity to humiliate the Edo Administrative Office that has been causing trouble for their anti-Japanese patriots!
They deceived the execution office into spending a lot of effort to defend Ryogoku Guangxiao Road. When the execution station eliminated the Tianzhong Party for them, they swaggered directly under the eyes of the execution station to attack the place they really wanted to attack!
We spent a lot of effort to defend Edo, but the defense was completely ineffective and failed to stop the enemy at all... There is no greater humiliating effect than this!
Take revenge on the Tianzhong Party, destroy the place that their anti-barbarian group really wants to destroy, and humiliate the execution center - kill three birds with one stone!
As a result, Kamino, whose ambitions grew and he was very confident in himself and determined to kill three birds with one stone overnight, revised his plan.
The content of "driving the tiger and swallowing the wolf" remains unchanged, but the content of personally leading a large army to attack the Tibetan Book Transfer Center has been added.
The Tibetan Book Research Institute, which specializes in studying foreign studies, has always been a thorn in the side of their anti-barbarian group.
Shenye had long listed the Fanshu Diao Institute as one of their must-conquer targets.
Anyway, sooner or later the Fan Shu Tiao Institute will be destroyed, so why not just level this hateful place where traitors gather tonight!
In order to ensure the success of the plan, Kanda added the step of "burning the Edo city and town to attract the attention of the enshrinement office".
The cause of resisting the barbarians is supreme! To accomplish such a great cause, sacrifice is inevitable! Let the people of Edo suffer! It is also their honor to dedicate their lives to the cause of resisting the barbarians!
Tonight, Kamino's plan to kill three birds with one stone did not go well in the early stage.
The execution office successfully defeated the Tianzhong Party on Liguangguangxiao Road for them.
Their subsequent fire was also successful, successfully disrupting Edo and attracting the attention of the observance office.
When they first attacked the Fanshu Adjustment Station, the battle went smoothly. The thin defensive force of the Fanshu Adjustment Station could not stop them at all. They captured most of the Fanshu Adjustment Station with overwhelming force.
However... there is only one last step left...
Obviously there is only one last step left for tonight's operation to come to a successful conclusion...
It’s because of that Tachibana Aoden...!
It was because of his sudden appearance that there were extremely glaring flaws in Kamino's actions tonight!
The Fanshu Adjustment Center was not completely destroyed! The large troops from the execution center arrived much earlier than expected and many of their companions were arrested!
It's him again!
When he attacked and killed that group of French businessmen before, he was the one who got in their way!
And now it's this guy who makes their actions tonight unsatisfactory!
Bastard! Bastard!
The more Kamino thought about it, the angrier he became, and his teeth began to creak.
He really wants to cut this hateful national traitor into pieces right now! Otherwise, it will be hard for him to let go of the hatred in his heart!
"Ju Qingden... I must kill you with my own hands...!"
Kamino slowly turned his head and looked at the Edo city in the distance.
In his eyes, there was murderous intent that could not be hidden no matter how hard he tried.
…
…
5 days later——
The first year of Wanyan (1860), April 1st——
Edo, Koishikawa Kohinata Yanagi Town, Imperial Guard Hall——
Goo! Goo! Goo!
The crow outside the window sent a noisy cry.
The setting sun has already disappeared below the horizon, and the afterglow reflects the clouds in the sky red.
Since it is already closing time, the dojo of the Trial Guard Hall is now empty - only one person remains in the center of the dojo.
Qingdeng, who was not wearing any protective gear, was holding a bamboo sword and closed his eyes tightly.
I saw him sometimes squatting, sometimes standing up, sometimes walking forward, and sometimes slashing into the air in front of him with his sword... At first glance, I thought Qingdeng was out of his mind and was actually fighting with the air, but in fact Qingdeng was out of his mind.
We are currently engaged in a "simulated battle".
——At that time...if I could have taken half a step forward, I could have further suppressed Kamino...
In Qingto's mind, various scenes and details of the duel with Kamino five days ago were constantly being replayed.
Recalling the battle at that time.
Think about what you didn’t do well at that time and what you could improve.
Your body moves with your thoughts!
Standing alone in the center of the dojo, he dodges, defends, counterattacks, attacks... There is obviously no one in front of him, but his increasingly faster and more fierce movements really seem like another fierce battle in Kamino.
After nearly half an hour passed, Qingdeng gradually stopped holding the bamboo sword in his hand and slowly opened his eyes.
After such a long and exhausting "simulated battle", Qingdeng's body was now covered with a thin layer of sweat.
He shrugged his right shoulder, casually wiped the sweat from his face with the cloth on his right shoulder, then grinned and let out a cheerful chuckle.
"Very good...I have improved my strength again...!"
In order to commend Aotomo for his achievements and to allow Aotomo, who had his left leg slashed by Kamino during the battle, to rest in peace, Susui generously gave Aotomo 10 days of leave.
Qingdeng has made the most of his long-awaited vacation.
Since the holiday, he has hardly been anywhere - he has just stayed at the trial defense hall, constantly replaying the battle with Kamino while his memory is still clear.
Qingdeng has recently become more aware of the talent he copied from Shannan: the power of "photographic memory".
When he first copied the "photographic memory", Qingdeng thought that this talent was only beneficial to his academic study.
But as time went by, Qingdeng discovered that his powerful memory was also of great benefit to his martial arts training!
Because of his strong memory, he can remember every battle in the past very clearly, which can help Qingdeng review these battles very well!
Even though five days have passed now, Qingden still clearly remembers all the details of the one-on-one battle with Kamino...when did he use what moves, and when did Kamino use what moves?
He and the anti-barbarian group started a fierce life-and-death encounter in the Fanshu Adjustment Institute - in terms of the result, Qingdeng really gained a lot from this incident five days ago.
To put it into detail, Qingdeng gained five major gains from this incident.
The first gain: Qingden copied a new talent from Kamino: hair.
This talent... From a certain perspective, it can be considered a very strong talent.
How many people are troubled by the pain of hair loss?
Now that Qingdeng has the gift of "hair", he should no longer have to worry about hair loss, receding hairline and other issues in the future.
The second gain: made good friends with Shenglin Taro and Fanshu Tiaosuo.
There is no need to elaborate on this - Katsurin Taro and the scholars at the Fanshu Diao Institute are extremely grateful to Qingteng for saving their lives.
The Boshu Diao Institute is the current academic center for studying foreign studies in the Edo shogunate. A lot of academic experts gather here to do research.
Not to mention Katsurin Taro, he is a political celebrity who has gained the trust of General Tokugawa Iemoge and Odaisho Tenshoin in recent years.
Now having a special relationship with this important minister of the shogunate and this important academic center, Qingto now has an additional political backer, and is no longer a waterless Ping without any support in the political world.
The third gain: The fierce battle with Kamino and others gave Qingto a new breakthrough in his strength.
The battle with Kamino and others made Qingto firmly believe that it is this kind of real sword duel with death that can improve a person's strength even more!
Regardless of which method can better improve a person's strength, 100 friendly sparring sessions wearing protective gear and using bamboo swords are not as good as a life-and-death fight with a real sword in hand.
In the past few days, Qingden has been constantly reviewing the battle with Kamino and others in his mind.
Thinking about what shortcomings I still had at that time, what tricks I didn't use well, and whether there was anything that could be improved...
Rely on "photographic memory" to review battles.
Then, with the blessing of two god-level talents with extremely abnormal effects, "Sword Talent" and "Ghost Heart", after reviewing again and again, Qingden felt that his current swordsmanship level had successfully improved by one level.
Big cut!
Qingteng felt that if he was allowed to practice hard for a while, or let him have one or two fierce real sword duels with someone, his strength would be improved to the point where he would not be able to compete with Kamino again.
Trigger the "lonely" level!
The fourth gain: Qingdeng’s reputation has been further improved.
There is no need to say much about this Qingdeng, who has also made great achievements. His name is heard by more and more people and is familiar with him.
As for Saito, Nagakura and others, they also became famous in one battle.
Everyone in the Southern and Northern Divisions now knows that Qingteng has recruited several extremely skilled subordinates!
All of them are good players who can fight one against ten. Aoden can make another great contribution, and the cooperation of Saito, Nagakura and others are indispensable.
Because Qingdeng only led these few subordinates, he was able to defeat dozens of members of the anti-barbarian team who had sneaked into the Fanshu Adjustment Center and beat them to their knees. It was so dazzling and powerful that there were even reports of it happening right now.
This is how it is said: Ayoto's troops are currently the number one "militant faction" in the Edo Order!
In the past few days, some of Qingteng's colleagues came to visit Qingteng and took the opportunity to ask Qingteng where he recruited such a strong Okabiki.
Qingdeng was also happy to advertise for Qianshiwu, which had always given him a lot of care.
So whenever someone asked this question, Aoshito would enthusiastically answer that Senshiya's boss Kiryu introduced him to it, and he also praised Senshiya as a high-quality employment agency.
As for the fifth harvest...it was the most unexpected harvest for Qingdeng.
Just yesterday, the reward for Qingdeng, who had made another great contribution, was confirmed and distributed.
The bounty is 50 taels, and the salary is increased by 400 shi! Promoted to an intermediate imperial family member with a salary of 500 shi!
