Chapter 291 Unparalleled in the world? Big book, special book! Go to hell with your incompetence
Teeth!【6200】
Unparalleled in the world? Why bother? When Qingdeng said this, his tone was very calm and his expression was very indifferent.
The plain voice has a direct impact on some people's hearts, like a heavy hammer hitting the center of the head.
In the world, no one can rival oneself - the term "unparalleled in the world" is the dream state of many warriors who are obsessed with martial arts?
How many warriors have spent their whole lives just to get closer to this word?
But this young man, who was smiling calmly at this time, said, "There is no one like him in the world? Why should I care about it?"
The lofty realm that countless warriors have dreamed of but never dreamed of, was actually a trivial thing in the eyes of this young man?
What kind of state is this?
A simple sentence expresses the transcendent state of mind!
If someone else says this, then this person is likely to be bragging.
But if this sentence is tied to Qingdeng... and the man known as the "Benevolent King", people have to believe it.
That's right! Mr. Tachibana has already made outstanding achievements in martial arts at a young age. An outstanding talent like him must have lofty ambitions! His eyes will definitely not only focus on the so-called "unparalleled in the world"
", His eyes must be staring at a more profound realm that we ordinary people cannot understand!
Thinking of this, the eyes and expressions of the group of people headed by Aoi, who looked at Qingden, became more and more excited and fiery.
He is worthy of being a benevolent king! His martial arts cultivation has indeed reached a level beyond our understanding!
While Aoi and others were standing here feeling excited and admiring, the man who they thought must have reached a state of mind that ordinary people like them could not reach, was at this moment——
…
——Very good! Another perfect show-off! Gee, my literary talent is pretty good! I can actually come up with such two cool sentences on the spur of the moment!
Qing Deng felt happy in his heart and calm on the outside.
The "Emperor's Art" has once again made great achievements. Qingdeng feels more and more that this talent is really a powerful tool for showing off!
The night before yesterday, after Qingdeng said the words "One-armed gang, nothing more than that" in front of a crowd of people, a flash of fire flashed through his mind - he thought of another story that could help him get there as soon as possible.
Fire-paying thieves have found a new way to gain a foothold.
This new method, to put it simply, is to take advantage of every opportunity to show off! Use every possible means to show off! Use the way of showing off to constantly establish and strengthen your superiority in front of your subordinates and colleagues.
image.
If you can successfully establish in the minds of your subordinates and colleagues that "this person is not just an ordinary person, don't mess with him casually", then no matter what you do in the future, it will be much easier.
Kuroyu's compliment just now made Qingden's eyes light up - he had just completed the feat of "killing 60 people", it was the perfect time to show off!
This guy, if you don’t pretend now, when will you wait?
As a result, Qingden quickly used his brain to think about what he should say and how to respond to Kuroyu's words, so as to achieve the best pretentious effect.
I don't know why, but when thinking about this kind of problem, Qingdeng's mind always moves very fast.
With just a few clicks of his fingers, "My sword is no longer limited to one sect or one sect. All martial arts schools can be used by me" and the words "Unparalleled in the world? Why should I care about it?" suddenly appeared in Qingdeng's heart.
in mind.
Qingden thinks these two sentences are really great! They are both handsome and classy, and have no shortcomings except that they are not sincere!
It is very helpful to create a mighty image of "superior talent" in front of the tribe, so without thinking, with the cooperation of "Emperor's Art", with a calm face, he can talk nonsense in front of everyone.
.
In other words - whatever "no matter what" is "can be used by me"... whatever "what is" is "nothing to care about"... it's all made up by Qingdeng!
However, there is a bit of truth mixed in with the lie.
Recently, Qingteng has indeed learned many moves from other schools.
The "Ina Wife" move he used to defeat Akabane just now was stolen from Saito Ichi, who practiced no leakage.
The reason for this is not that Seito dislikes the inability to use Natural Rishin-ryu and wants to change the appearance, but simply because the "Sword Saint" and "Oni's Heart" are too powerful.
Swordsmanship talent that is 106 times that of ordinary people + superior understanding ability... The power that comes from the superposition of the two is simply not too scary.
Even if you don't study hard, you can see and master other people's sword skills with just two eyes!
The sword-holding stance and "Chop Hand Sword" of Beichen Itto-ryu, the "Inazuma" of Mugai-ryu, the "Shou of the Monkey" of Xigenryu... All the above-mentioned techniques are all created by Aoto watching Sanako and Saito Ichi.
When someone wields the sword, he masters it unconsciously.
If the former is quite meaningful, then the latter...that is, the sentence "Unparalleled in the world? Why bother" is completely nonsense!
What’s the big deal? How is that possible?
If one day he is lucky enough to reach the state of being "unparalleled in the world", then Qingdeng will probably wake up laughing even when he sleeps.
I have become unparalleled in the world! I want to marry Kinoshita Mai and Chiba Sanako! Who dares to object?
Qingdeng calmly took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions briefly, and then quietly swept his eyes, secretly observing the expressions of everyone around him - and felt happy again.
Judging from the current situation, the effect of his pretense just now was excellent and far exceeded his expectations.
A large group of people led by Aoi Jingyang all looked frightened.
However, there are also a small number of people whose expressions are quite meaningful.
For example, Kuroba Shiro.
Another example is Akabane and Shirasaki.
Kuroyu, who is fast-talking and eloquent, has a strange habit of flattering others. When he flatters others, he has a weird characteristic, that is, he does not distinguish between the target and the target.
Even if you are just a commoner who is not even a martial artist, as long as you do something worthy of praise, Kuroba will habitually say a few nice words to you.
This kind of character has always made Kuroba very popular. He has everything he wants in the third team, and no one can offend him.
Therefore, Kuroba's praise of Qingden just now was just out of habit - but who would have thought that Qingden could follow his lead, say such handsome words, and pretend to be so confident!
Kuroyu's eyes were straight and his gaze was dazed. He had always regarded himself as "the most eloquent person in the Third Division". But now, he was shocked to realize: starting from today, this title seems to have to be changed...
Compared to Kuroba, Akabane, Shirasaki and others who were simply shocked by Aoto's pretense just now, the emotions displayed by Kuroba, Akabane, Shirasaki and others were also very pure - pure boredom and disgust.
Especially Akabane. His eyes filled with disgust seemed to be about to burst out of fire.
For those of them who hate Qingdeng, seeing Qingdeng in the limelight is more uncomfortable than being unlucky for him!
Qingden's eyes narrowed slightly, and he calmly identified and wrote down the faces of those who did not look at him with admiration or respect at the moment, and thought to himself:
——It is indeed not an easy task to subdue so many arrogant and powerful generals...
In fact, there is another secondary reason why Qingnog suddenly followed Kuroba's flattery and put on a special outfit: to confirm which people showed respect to him after listening to his pretense, and which ones
People are indifferent or look disgusted.
The former are "friendly forces".
The latter is "friendly forces that can be tried to win over in the future" and "enemies that are difficult to tame"
The same rice feeds all kinds of people.
Some people fear power and are not ethical.
Some people are neither fearful of authority nor moral.
Showing outstanding personal force and being a saint in front of others can certainly greatly increase Qingdeng's reputation. But they alone are not enough to help Qingdeng completely get rid of the dilemma of being a rootless person and "parachute leader".
Thinking back to the past life, a great man who created the world once said: The so-called politics means making many friends and making few enemies.
Therefore, if you want to completely control the third division, the method is neither difficult nor simple - try to make as many troops as possible supporting you and as few as possible against you.
Qingdeng has fully demonstrated his powerful martial arts strength through the "solo attack on the enemy camp" yesterday and the "60-man kill" today.
The soldiers who fear and respect Qingdeng because of his superb martial arts have basically become loyal to him.
Therefore, after such a "big screening", most people who still have no feelings for Qingdeng or are still hostile to Qingdeng will no longer look at Qingdeng because of his extraordinary skills.
In other words, no matter how many "Likiri" Qingden holds in the future, no matter how much he shows off his martial arts, it will not have any useful effect.
Since "showing force" is no longer useful, if you want to further win over the hearts and minds of others, you must find another way.
Ever since he learned that he was going to be transferred to the right as the new captain of the third division of the Huofu Thieves Kai, Qingto had been thinking about how he could quickly establish himself in the unfamiliar and baseless Huofu Thieves Kai.
heel?
After a long period of hard thinking, Qingdeng really came up with many ideas.
Qingdeng already had ideas on how to win people's hearts and how to make more friends...
…
…
The first year of Wanyan (1860), November 7——
Edo, Tibetan Publishing House——
Today is Qingden’s long-awaited rest day.
Taking advantage of his free time today, Qingdeng went to the Fanshu Diaochan Institute, which he had not visited for a while, early in the morning.
Before he even got close to the Fanshu Diao House, a refreshing smell of paper and ink hit Qingdeng's nose.
Outside the gate of Fanshu Diaosuo, the four gatekeepers saw Qingdeng and immediately showed warm smiles to Qingdeng.
"Tachibana-sama! Good morning!"
"Good morning! Mr. Tachibana!"
Qingdeng smiled and responded to their greetings one by one:
"Hello, is Mr. Sheng here?"
"Well! Mr. Orange, you came just in time! Mr. Sheng came to Fanshu Adjustment Institute early this morning! He should be working in his study now!"
Knowing that his trip was not in vain, Qingneng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He asked the guard to help inform Katsurin Taro: Qingnong was visiting.
After a while, the guard who went to report came back: "Mr. Orange! Please come in!"
Qingdeng took off his shoes in the dirt room of Fanshu Diao House. He took off the orange juice from his left waist and carried it with his right hand.
After the battle with Takasugi Shinsaku, Toudo Takataka and others, the Dingkishin double scepter was damaged again, so the double scepter was sent for repair.
As a last resort, Qingdeng could only pick up his old sword Ju Shui again these days and make do with it.
When entering other people's homes or other buildings, remove the katana from your waist with the sheath and carry it with your right hand - this is one of the basic samurai etiquette.
The right hand is the dominant hand of most warriors. Carrying the sword with the sheath in the right hand makes it inconvenient to draw the sword and kill people.
Therefore, when entering another person's house, holding the knife in your right hand means "I am not here to cause trouble".
Qingdeng walked through the familiar corridors with ease.
As a cultural institution specialized in translating Western books and studying Western knowledge, the Fanshu Diao Institute has a rich academic atmosphere.
Even when walking in the corridor, you can smell an atmosphere that is completely different from the outside world.
The sounds of reciting, discussing, turning books, and writing are all in my ears.
Most of the people who passed Qingdeng in the corridor looked like gentle and elegant scholars.
Qingden thought to himself: The shogunate must have spent a lot of effort to gather this group of scholars who are good at studying knowledge and are not against Western knowledge.
Thousands of years ago, when Japan relied on envoys sent to the Sui and Tang dynasties to comprehensively study the advanced culture and systems of the Sui and Tang empires, it once copied the imperial examination system.
However, due to various reasons such as complex national conditions, the imperial examination system was only a short-lived phenomenon in Japan.
Today, because there is no such thing as "taking an exam to become an official", only those who like to study knowledge and are not short of food and clothing will take the initiative to pick up books and study hard.
Among the samurai class, there are far more reckless men who like to use swords and guns than scholars who like to write and write. That's why Qingteng feels this way.
Along the way, Qingdeng received warm smiles from others from time to time.
"Ah! Master Tachibana! Long time no see!"
"Master Tachibana! Why are you here?"
"Master Tachibana! Why are you free to visit us today?"
In line with the mentality of "I'm not in a hurry now anyway", whenever someone greets him, Qingden will stop and say a few simple words to the person.
Ever since Qingdeng repelled the rebel group and protected the Fanshu Diao Institute from being destroyed by Shen Ye's sword, he has been unanimously respected by the scholars of the Fan Shu Diao Institute.
This valuable connection has enabled Qingteng to maintain a very good and close relationship with the scholars of the Fanshu Diao Institute...especially Katsurin Taro, who currently serves as the head of the Fanshu Diao Institute, that is, the "principal"
.
Qingdeng occasionally visits Fanshu Tiao Institute on a whim. Every time he visits, he is bound to receive a warm welcome from top to bottom.
Rintaro Katsu, who will be in his forties in three years, is twice as old as Aoto, but he is a funny man with no airs of elders. He is knowledgeable and humorous, and what’s more valuable is that he never
Disrespecting talents and being proud of things.
Born as a subordinate, he relied on his own talents and the appreciation of his superiors to gradually reach his current high position.
At present, there is definite news in the official circles: Katsu Rintaro will be transferred to the head of the warship drill department and will be fully responsible for the training and establishment of the shogunate navy.
In other words - Katsu Rintaro is about to be moved to the right as the first marshal of the Shogunate Navy!
From a low-level samurai to the first-generation navy marshal... It stands to reason that Katsu Rintaro, who has completed the "diaosi counterattack" with such a dreamy process, is fully qualified to rely on his talents and be arrogant.
But Katsurin Taro didn't do that.
Even though he has made so many amazing achievements, he has always been gentle and kind to others. He has never treated others with cold eyes or spoken ill words because of their identity or lower official position than him.
Katsu Rintaro's friendly personality appealed to Aoto, and Katsu Rintaro also admired Aoto, so the two of them unknowingly formed an irreversible friendship.
After a while, Qingteng arrived at the top floor of the Fanshu Tiao Institute and found Katsurin Taro's study room.
"Mr. Katsu! It's me! Tachibana Aoden!"
"Oh! Mr. Tachibana, you are here, come in quickly."
Qingdeng pushed open the door and entered.
As soon as he entered Katsurintaro's study, Aoto had the illusion of traveling back in time - Katsurintaro's study was like a utility room, filled with Western things.
French sofas with strong palace colors, Russian bearskin carpets spread all over the floor, British stargazing telescopes, American cowboy hats...the whole thing is a miniature World Expo.
"Mr. Orange! Haha! We haven't seen each other for a while! Come on, come on, sit down!"
Qingden looked up and saw Rintaro Katsu burying his head in the desk. Next to his desk stood a huge globe.
"Mr. Sheng, your study seems to be messier than when I came last time."
Using a "hopscotch"-like movement, Aomori carefully jumped into the gap between the utility rooms on the ground, and moved closer to Katsurin Taro little by little.
"It's not 'like', it's 'certainly'!"
Rintaro Katsu showed a proud expression as if he was proud of his great achievements, puffed out his chest, and continued plausibly:
"An American friend of mine sent me a batch of interesting Western products a few days ago. Come on, Mr. Tachibana, come and take a look. This is the latest Western kaleidoscope! It's very beautiful! It can change a lot of colors.
20 different patterns, it’s amazing!”
Qingdeng had no interest in Lao Shizi's kaleidoscope at all.
However, seeing his old friend in such high spirits, Qingdeng felt embarrassed to offend him.
So I could only brace myself and pretend to be happy to watch the other party manipulate a very delicate kaleidoscope.
At this time, Qingden suddenly found a small tips bag placed in the corner of Katsurin Taro's desk.
This object, full of oriental style, looks extremely awkward in this room full of Western flavor.
Qingdeng was curious for a moment and asked:
"Mr. Sheng, what is this?"
Katsurin Taro glanced at the brocade bag, and the corners of his mouth suddenly dropped:
"Oh, this..."
Katsurin Taro put down the kaleidoscope in his hand and let out a long sigh.
"Three days ago, when I was walking along Ryogoku Hiro Road, a fortune teller suddenly grabbed me and said: I will definitely rise to great heights in the future, become rich and powerful, and become the commander-in-chief of the shogunate army in charge of the land and sea armies! Commander-in-chief
Thousands of troops! It’s just that while you are in power, you will encounter countless dangers, but don’t worry, you only need to spend 20 coins to buy one of his magic weapons and carry it with you.
Once you come, you can sit back and relax, and no matter what kind of crisis you encounter in the future, you can turn danger into good luck under the protection of that magic weapon."
After Qingdeng heard this, he smiled:
"So...this is the 'magic weapon'?"
"yes!"
Sheng Haizhou paused for a moment, then continued in an angry tone:
"Let me add: I didn't buy this kit because I believed the fortune teller's lies."
"That fortune teller is a liar at first sight!"
"I've seen this kind of deceit too many times! First, I keep flattering you and saying all kinds of good things, such as 'You will definitely be a successful person in the future', 'You will be rich and powerful in the future'."
"That liar must have recognized me. He knew that I was Katsu Rintaro, who would be transferred to the warship training station in the near future and was responsible for training the navy for the Edo shogunate. So he followed my identity and flattered me that I would not only be in charge of the navy in the future
, he will also take charge of the army and so on."
"I didn't want to pay attention to that liar. But I saw that this kit is pretty good-looking, both in quality and workmanship. The price is not expensive anyway, so I bought it for my collection."
Qingdeng nodded slightly to show that he understood the whole story.
"The commander-in-chief of the shogunate army who is in charge of the land and sea armies... Darling, what a big official this is."
Qingden grinned and joked:
"Master Sheng, if you want to be rich and noble, don't forget each other. If you really become the commander-in-chief of the shogunate army one day, please be sure to help me and promote me. I am not greedy. Promote me as your deputy. Give me a
Positions such as 'General of the Shogunate Army' will suffice."
Katsurin Taro laughed loudly and waved his hands:
"Okay! No problem! It's a deal!"
Both of them just regarded the words they were saying now as a fantasy that no one took seriously.
The two parties chatted with each other for a while about the trivial matters they had encountered recently.
Seeing that the time was getting ripe, Qingden put down the tea that Katsurin Taro had just made for him and said calmly:
"Mr. Sheng, I have something... I want to ask you for help."
…
…
The next day——
The first year of Wanyan (1860), November 8th——
In Edo, the fire bandits reformed the third division's camp and school grounds——
All the members of the Third Division, who had just received the call-up order, hurriedly gathered on the school field.
As soon as the team members arrived at the school grounds, they saw Qing Deng, who was waiting for them calmly with his hands behind his back.
"Everyone!"
After making two opening remarks, Qingdeng paused for a moment as if he was getting emotional, and then suddenly began to talk about the arduous process of the execution office and the Huofu Thieves teaming up to ban the anti-barbarian group.
The people below became more and more confused as they listened - what is the captain doing? Summoning us for no reason just to talk nonsense to us?
Qingdeng ignored the doubtful glances cast towards him by the team members. He kept talking to himself, his tone becoming more and more passionate.
"After our hard struggle, the anti-barbarian group, which was extremely vicious and brought great suffering to Edo, has finally been destroyed!"
"But! We can't take it lightly!"
"Although the anti-barbarian group has been destroyed, there are still many villains who are still at large and doing wrong!"
"We must always be prepared to deal with new difficulties and new powerful enemies!"
"but!"
Qingdeng's conversation suddenly changed.
"After my recent careful observation, I found that some team members may feel that 'the anti-barbarian group has been destroyed, so they can just sit back and relax,' and their mentality is very loose!"
"This unhealthy trend can be stopped!"
"Although I am just a new official who has just taken office, I also know the importance of 'mobilization'!"
"So! In order to boost everyone's morale and mobilize everyone's spirit to the greatest extent, I specially invited Mr. Sheng Lintaro, the head of the Fanshu Diao Department, to speak for us!"

I forgot to tell everyone about the science - Fanshu Diao Institute later went through a series of evolutions and was finally renamed into a school that cannot be said to be slightly famous, but can also be said to be famous.
Its name is [University of Tokyo].
Let me tell you a little more about popular science - Rintaro Katsu, nicknamed Kaishu. Therefore, he is also called "Katsu Kaishu". Even book friends who are not familiar with the history of the Bakumatsu should have heard this name in anime, movies and TV dramas.
