Chapter 298 A female swordsman disguised as a man, join! [9000]
"Kill!"
"Come together! Come together! Surround him quickly!"
"Surround him to death! Surround him to death! Surround him to death, let's see what else he can do!"
The five gangsters, armed with knives, guns, shields and other weapons, swarmed Qingdeng from all directions.
Qingden's calm gaze, without sadness or joy, swept around along the blade of the ghost-fixing blade, and he had already calculated the positions of the five people in his mind.
In an instant, a sword shot up from the ground.
At the same time, the five gangsters completed the encirclement of Qingdeng.
But in the next moment, the encirclement circle suddenly opened wide, and the five gangsters flew out in the completely opposite direction to their previous charge.
Yes. It's not about running out or jumping out, but "flying" out.
Just like the arrow that was thrown out of the bow string, it drew a neat parabola in mid-air and then fell heavily to the ground.
There are fallen arrow feathers left everywhere in the air and on the ground. In other words, there are pieces of their cut clothes and pieces of flesh and blood left behind.
The cold wind of late autumn blows strongly, carrying the howls and cries, the breath of blood and fire into the distance, expanding like surging clouds.
The bandit army, which had just suffered a major defeat, was already frightened.
At this moment, I saw Qingdeng, the big killing star, breaking through the obstacles of the level and killing all directions again as if he was tireless. His morale collapsed as quickly and fiercely as an avalanche.
And at this moment, outside the checkpoint, there was a crowd of people, and a loud noise filled the sky - the large troops led by the "Huofu Tiger" and "Huofu Dog" were coming!
Thanks to Qingdeng's great power inside the pass, the gangsters focused their attention on Qingdeng at the moment and ignored the army outside the pass.
"Break the door!"
Following Tadatsuki Kanazawa's order, the "engineers" carried sledgehammers, saws, pull ropes and other items and started working again.
The commanders of the bandit army belatedly discovered the movement outside the pass and hurriedly ordered a return to defense - but there was no way to save the situation.
Courage is gone, morale is ruined.
The bandit army was defeated again and again, completely failing the chain of command.
Most of the gangsters just want to escape and survive at the moment, and no longer care about obeying orders or obeying orders.
It is impossible to organize a large-scale and systematic defense... This means that it is impossible to effectively block the pursuing army outside the customs!
With the support of high morale, the "engineers" were very agile.
They did not make everyone's expectations in vain - they lived up to expectations and opened the door under the expectant eyes of the friendly forces and the panic sight of the bandits!
"Follow me!" As soon as Mizushima Rensaburo entered the barrier, he slashed an unlucky guy who happened to be standing within his best attack range with one strike.
At this point, the battle situation is decided.
The entry of the pursuing troops became the straw that broke the camel's back.
Black "waves" overflowed the closed door! Sharp electric light burst out from the depths of the "thunder cloud"!
The bandits were defeated across the board.
Defeat is like a mountain falling - the scene unfolding in front of Qingdeng at this time has become the best portrayal of this ancient saying.
Wherever you could see, the gangsters were screaming in terror and pushing and squeezing each other.
Not to mention confronting Qingdeng again, or confronting the attacking army that had already come over, it was already too much to just dodge.
Although there is still a small group of people who pretend to be indifferent to death, with the mentality of "I will fight with the dog officers and soldiers" and "Even if I die, I will die like a samurai", they pick up their weapons and
"Go against the current" and pounce on the overflowing "black waves"... and then be quickly swallowed up.
There are only a handful of warriors like this who have the courage to fight again. They are so few that they can be counted with just a pair of palms.
Most of the gangsters were fleeing in a hurry towards the top of the mountain.
They were like a flock of frightened crows, scurrying up and down, leaving behind a mess and flying feathers all over the place.
In order to run faster, many people simply threw away their weapons.
He ran without caring about the weapon in his hand.
He ran without caring about the shoes that had been thrown off.
He ran without caring about the officers and soldiers behind him or the captured level.
Qingdeng held the Ding Guishen in hand with an expressionless expression and stood there, quietly watching the bandit army's sudden and sudden retreat.
He didn't move any further, didn't pursue anymore - he really didn't have the strength to continue fighting.
The mountain road is inherently rugged and difficult to walk.
Just going up and down such a steep mountain road is enough to tire an ordinary person, let alone fighting on it, and also conquering two levels in one go?
Originally, the expeditionary army's original battle plan was just to "capture the first checkpoint on the mountain road set up by the Soumas within today."
Being able to defeat the bandit army and capture the second level of Soumazhong in the process of chasing the remnants of the enemy has already exceeded the target and cannot be coveted for more.
The effects of buffs such as "Gu Gu" and "Gathering God" quickly faded away... Fatigue instantly surged towards Qingdeng from all directions like a tide and enveloped Qingdeng's whole body.
Qingden was now so tired that he didn't even want to move a finger.
The throat that was extremely dehydrated was horribly dry, and every time I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, it felt like I was swallowing a razor blade.
The limbs were shaking violently due to "overload operation".
My head is dizzy...and getting dizzy.
Qingden felt that everything in front of him was spinning around him, his steps began to waver, and his body swayed accordingly.
Fortunately, at this moment, a strong hand stretched out and supported Qingdeng.
Immediately afterwards, a weak, deep male voice floated above Qingdeng's head:
"Nioh, are you okay?"
"Mizushima-kun..."
Aoden raised his head and smiled at Mizushima Rensaburo who was supporting him.
"It's not good. I'm so tired that I feel like vomiting...but I feel very happy."
After listening to this, Mizushima Rensaburo twitched the corners of his mouth, and a faint smile appeared on his lips - but because he usually smiled carefully and his facial muscles were extremely lacking in movement, the lines of the smile he showed at this time were very...
It's stiff, and it looks like he's half-smiling.
"Tachibana-kun...Mizushima-kun..."
At this time, another weak voice floated slowly.
With the help of someone, Kanazawa Chusuke limped towards Aoto and Mizushima Rensaburo.
Qingteng asked: "Kanazawa-kun, what's wrong? Is your leg injured?"
"No. It's just a cramp in my right leg. Just take it easy." Speaking of this, Kanazawa Chusuke smiled bitterly, "Haha... I didn't expect that today's battle would be so hard..."
"Hard work is hard work." Qingdeng smiled, "But our hard work was not in vain."
"Hahahaha." Kanazawa Chusuke looked up to the sky and laughed, "You are right! Being able to clear two levels of Soumazhong in one day and clearing all the obstacles to mountain climbing... No matter how hard it is, it is worth it! Hiss,
Hiss——!”
Kanazawa Chusuke smiled so hard that he accidentally injured a certain injury on his body. In an instant, his smile turned into a twisted expression of gasping.
"Kanazawa-kun, withdraw your troops." Mizushima Rensaburo said calmly, "Your injury... it is best to go down the mountain quickly and take care of it."
"There's no rush, no rush." Kanazawa Chusuke waved his hand, "We'll talk about this later. The most important thing to do now...is this -"
After saying that, Kanazawa Chusuke showed a mysterious smile, then jumped on one foot, turned around to face the soldiers beside him, and took a deep breath:
"Today's battle is our victory over the thieves -!!"
In an instant, huge cheers surged like huge waves towards Qingdeng, towards the surrounding space, towards the sky above our heads and the earth beneath our feet!
The team members, who were excited about today's glorious victory, celebrated their victory in various ways.
Those who raise their fists to the sky; those who brandish weapons; those who roar selflessly...
Kanazawa Tadatsuki struck while the iron was hot and raised his clenched right fist high above his head.
"Eh——! Eh——!"
The team members immediately responded enthusiastically:
"Ohhhhhhhh-!"
Kanazawa Chusuke turned to look at Mizushima Rensaburo.
Faced with Kanazawa Chusuke's gaze, Mizushima Rensaburo's expression suddenly became strange.
How could he not understand the meaning of Kanazawa Chusuke's eyes at this moment?
It's your turn - Kanazawa Chusuke said silently.
Mizushima Rensaburo looked hesitant.
After a moment, as if he had figured it out... or given up on something, he freed his right hand, pulled out the Bizen Nagabune from his waist, and pointed diagonally at the distant sky.
"Eh——! Eh——!"
"Ohhhhhhhhhh-!"
The cheers of the team members were a little louder than just now.
Next, as if playing some strange game, "Tiger" and "Dog" turned their heads at the same time with great tacit understanding, looking at the same direction and the same person.
Feeling the oppressive gaze of the two people...especially Mizushima Rensaburo, Qingto's lips twitched slightly, and the corners of his mouth curved in a helpless arc.
He was almost exhausted and lay down, he really didn't want to yell anymore.
It's just that... Qingdeng doesn't resist a little more force on his body right now.
Qingden steeled himself, gathering the last bit of strength and spirit left in his body on his right arm that was holding the knife, and on his throat and between his lips and teeth.
Then--
"Eh——! Eh——!"
"Ohhhhhhhhhhh-!"
Dog, tiger, king take turns to win...
A joyful picture.
An exciting scene!
The cheers that seemed to shatter the mountains shook the sky! It lasted for a long time!
…
…
That night--
Daohe Village is immersed in a sea of joy.
It’s late autumn now, and it’s getting dark quickly. Just after 18 o’clock, the sky is covered with a thick black gauze.
Under the halo of night, the mountains surrounding Daohe Village look like a giant beast lying prone.
On ordinary days, seeing these huge "monsters" would inevitably make people feel palpitations and marvel at the uncanny craftsmanship of nature.
However, at the moment, the generals and generals of the expeditionary army, who are celebrating today's victory, do not feel that these peaks and mountains that look like "monsters" are scary at all - instead, they find them a bit cute.
At this time, bonfires were burning vigorously in the open space on the east side of the village.
Dots of firelight gave the dark earth a dreamy color.
If you look down from above, you will have the illusion that "the stars have fallen to the ground."
The generals of the expeditionary army gathered in groups around the campfire to keep warm and had a lively dinner.
The villagers of Daohe Village walked back and forth between the bonfires. They were either diligently helping deliver meals or enthusiastically adding new firewood to the bonfires.
I saw that all the villagers had beautiful teeth and grinned from the corners of their mouths to their ears.
"Laughter" is indeed a magical expression.
After showing bright and cheerful smiles, the villagers' every word, deed, and spirit revealed in every move became completely different from before.
If we say: A few days ago, when the crusade army first entered the village, the faces of the villagers were gloomy and lifeless, and their expressions and movements were no different from those of the walking dead. Then at this moment, most of the gloom on the faces of the villagers has been dispelled.
, his complexion is bright and energetic, and his behavior is lively, a little bit like what a human being should be.
Why the villagers of Daohe Village were so happy, and why there was such a big contrast in their mental state within a few days... The reason is not difficult to understand.
The Xiangma people are so abominable, so abominable!
Daohe Village... this poor little mountain village has really been oppressed by the Xiangma people for too long, too long...
Countless property was looted.
Countless young men were killed.
Countless girls were defiled.
A while ago, they just wanted to resist the unreasonable demand of "paying tribute" in the face of famine, and they suffered cruel revenge from the horsemen.
Not only were a large number of houses burned, but even the few belongings in the village were mercilessly looted... Many villagers were so desperate that they even wanted to commit suicide.
In this desperate situation - the Huo Fu Thieves have arrived.
In the past, the domineering and arrogant Xiangma people were beaten to the ground by the thunderbolt offensive of Huofu Bandit Kai, and there were countless casualties. How long had it been since the villagers had been so proud?
Out of excitement and gratitude to the crusade, the villagers stepped forward spontaneously, helped the crusade to cook, helped the crusade to heal their injuries, and did everything they could to help the crusade.
It's a pity that Daohe Village, which was just plundered, is really too poor. It wants good food but not good food, good wine but not good wine. Every household has only a few tares that even bandits can't see. Otherwise, the excited villagers
They would probably take out all the food and wine they had saved to entertain the crusade and the heroes who came to save them.
Suddenly, in this inconspicuous mountain village, there was a rare scene of "Edo samurai" and "country villagers" living happily together.
Of course - my grandson and Kanazawa Chusuke would not be so happy that they had won the battle and made such a low-level mistake as "forgetting to set up a police post".
My grandson sent a team that did not participate in today's battle because it was set up as a general reserve team to monitor Xiangma Zhong's stronghold and be responsible for the vigilance outside the village tonight.
…
At this time, somewhere in the village——
"hiss……"
Qingden gasped in pain.
"Sir, are you okay yet?"
The doctor who was squatting behind Qingdeng and applying medicine to the wound on Qingdeng's back said without raising his head:
"Tachibana-sama, does it hurt?"
"Hmm. I almost thought you were pricking me with a needle just now."
"Just feel pain! This is the characteristic of my medicine! After it is applied to the wound, it will have a strong stimulating sensation!"
"This stimulation is too strong...hiss...!"
"Master Ju, please bear with me a little longer." The doctor said in a gentle tone like coaxing a baby, "It will be fine soon, it will be fine soon..."
Qingdeng felt that there was a huge difference in understanding of the word "soon" between himself and this doctor.
Qingdeng counted the time until a full 20 minutes later. The doctor took out a roll of clean linen from the bag at his feet and wrapped Qingdeng's upper body into a big rice dumpling with extremely skillful techniques.
"Okay, Master Tachibana," the doctor said, "I have taken care of all the injuries on your body. Until they are completely healed, do not let the wounds touch the water. Do you understand?"
"Yes." Qingdeng nodded slightly to show that he had heard, "Sir, thank you."
"Master Tachibana, you're welcome, I just did what a military doctor should do."
After saying this, the doctor lifted up his bag full of medical tools, gave Qingden a brief salute, and then walked towards the next injured patient not far away who was waiting for treatment.
Qingdeng moved his limbs and waist a few times to make sure that the linen cloth on his body was not tied too loosely or too tightly. He took a deep breath and stood up like a carp.
At this time, a clear male voice sounded behind Qingdeng:
"Tangerine-kun, good evening~~"
"My grandson?"
Qingden turned around and met the eyes of my grandson Chutaro, who was walking towards him with a smile on his face.
Before Qingdeng could respond to my grandson's "Good evening", my grandson continued to say to Qingdeng:
"How's the injury? No major injuries, right?"
"Thanks to you, these are just minor flesh injuries. They will heal after a while of rest."
In today's battle, because he was fully focused on the battle in front of him and had no time to think about other things, coupled with the rapid surge of adrenaline and the chaos of the battlefield, his body's senses were affected, so Qingden was never aware of his physical condition.
It wasn't until the battle was over and the doctor came to treat his injuries that Qingdeng was shocked to realize that he had suffered so many injuries - from head to toe, there were a total of five scars scratched by sharp objects.
You know, Qingdeng is fully armed.
Chain mail, breastplate, hand armor, arm armor, leg armor...all available.
Even if you are armed to the teeth, you can suffer so many injuries. If you don't have these equipment... ugh, it's hard to imagine what it would be like.
Fortunately, the injuries I suffered today are not deep.
Just like what Qingdeng said to my grandson just now: They are just minor flesh wounds that don’t even need to be sewed. After a while, you can be alive and kicking again.
"It's good that you weren't seriously injured." My grandson nodded gently, "It's really hard for you guys today~~"
Having said this, a look of joy appeared on my grandson's face.
"Thanks to your persistence in pursuing and annihilating the remaining enemies, we were able to capture all the strongholds set up by the Xiangma Zhong on the mountain road in just one day."
Qingto smiled slightly: "You are ridiculous. This is not my fault alone. Without the cooperation of Kanazawa-kun, Mizushima-kun, and other team members, I alone would never have been able to achieve such dazzling results.
"
Judging from the results, today's performance of the Crusade Army is nothing short of brilliant.
On the first day of the war, the mountain road was recovered and all the Xiangmazhong bandits were driven back to their last stronghold, their mountain stronghold.
According to statistics: In today's battle, the crusade army lost a total of 18 people, 5 people were seriously injured, and 14 people were lightly injured. The Xiangma soldiers suffered at least over 100 casualties.
With the opponent occupying an advantageous location, they only paid such a small price to achieve such a result... Complete victory! Undoubted victory!
"Haah~~yo~~"
Suddenly, the cold night wind carried wisps of singing that was not very technical, but full of emotion.
Qingdeng, who looked stunned, looked in the direction where the singing came from - it turned out that the soldiers were singing.
A soldier who participated in today's battle and had his head wrapped in linen, suddenly opened his voice and sang an Edo folk song. I don't know if he was too happy or something.
Throughout the ages, no matter which country or region it is in, "singing" has been a highly contagious social behavior - especially on occasions such as celebrating victory.
Because most of the members of the Huofu Thieves Reform Team are native Edo people, they are no strangers to Edo folk songs.
Therefore, after the team member suddenly started singing an Edo folk song, many people who were inspired by the singing followed suit and started singing together.
A few active people even danced to the singing.
The song spreads everywhere in the evening breeze.
The atmosphere inside and outside the village is full of joy.
Seeing this scene, Qingdeng was filled with emotions. The round face of his young apprentice, Elodie, appeared in his mind involuntarily.
Why do I suddenly think of Elodie? It all starts with a small interesting incident a month ago.
In the middle of last month, Qingden went to the residence to teach Elodie swordsmanship as usual.
After practice, chatting while resting - this has basically become the daily routine of the young master and apprentice.
That day was no exception.
After the day's class was successfully concluded, the two of them sat on the French sofa in the lobby, drinking black tea brought by the maid Leroy and chatting.
Unconsciously, the topic of music came up.
Elodie seems to be very interested in music.
As soon as he talked about this topic, his whole face became a little rosy, and he talked endlessly. His lovely red lips almost never closed.
From the songs I listened to recently to my own opinions on the popular music nowadays.
At the end, Elodie excitedly said to Qingden:
"Master! Let me teach you a song from my hometown! It's very nice!"
Elodie's hometown... of course is France.
Although Qingden doesn't hate music, he really has no interest in learning to sing.
However, seeing that Elodie was in such high spirits, Qingden was too embarrassed to spoil her interest. He could only hold the mentality of "Forget it, learn some music and cultivate your sentiments" and nodded to Elodie:
"Okay, what song do you want to teach me? Chopin's song?"
As soon as Qingdeng finished speaking, the corners of Elodie's mouth immediately drooped into a "∩" shape, with a look of disgust on her face, and her body subconsciously shrank away from Qingdeng. Even the person who was standing aside at that time
Leroy, the maid, also cast a strange look at Qingden.
This is the first time Qingden has seen such an expression on Elodie's cute face, as if he has seen something bad...
"Master... first of all, Mr. Chopin is from Poland and has nothing to do with my hometown. Secondly, Mr. Chopin is a pianist, and the music he composed cannot be sung with the tongue and throat."
Shu Qingdeng was uneducated... He had little interest in music and basically slept through the music lessons in his previous life. As for Western musicians in the 19th century, he only recognized Chopin and Beethoven.
Qingdeng scratched his hair in embarrassment and quickly changed the subject abruptly: "Uh...ahem! Then what song are you going to teach me to sing?"
"I'm going to teach you one of my favorite songs!"
Elodie's voice was passionate and powerful, and when she mentioned the adjective "favorite", her voice showed a unique sense of sanctity.
"It's called "The Battle Hymn of the Army of the Rhine"! Because during the overthrow of Louis XVI, the Marseilles often sang this song, so this song is also called "Marseillaise"!"
"La Marseillaise?" Qingdeng exclaimed.
Qingden's violent reaction caused Elodie and Leroy to express doubts.
"Elodie, you...favorite "La Marseillaise"?"
"Yeah. What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Elodie looked strange.
"Uh, no...just, I'm just a little surprised. I just heard the story of "La Marseillaise" from Mr. Sheng a few days ago." Qingden laughed and said casually.
Even Qingdeng, who knew nothing about music and had no interest in it, knew the famous "La Marseillaise".
"La Marseillaise": a famous revolutionary war song that transcends national and ethnic boundaries. Throughout the ages, it has inspired many people with lofty ideals to actively participate in the great cause of anti-imperialism and anti-feudalism.
At the end of the 18th century, in order to overthrow the decadent rule of the Bourbon nobles headed by King Louis XVI of France, unprecedented revolutions broke out across France.
In order to support the revolution and march to Paris to rescue parliamentarians who were sympathetic to the reform, Marseille citizens actively joined the army and marched forward singing a song written by an engineer captain: "Battle Hymn of the Army of the Rhine".
Because this song was first sung by the Maasai people, it is also named: "La Marseillaise".
Throughout the French Revolution, there were countless fighting songs that inspired fighting spirit. Among them, "La Marseillaise" with its catchy lyrics and impassioned melody was the most loved by the masses and became extremely popular.
It can be said that the French overthrew the Bourbon dynasty by singing the Marseillaise. Unfortunately, the Bourbon dynasty was restored not long after, but this is a story for another day.
This is why Qingden was so surprised when he learned that Elodie actually liked Marseillaise.
After all, Elodie's full name... is "Elodie de Angouleme".
Judging from the name, Elodie is truly a descendant of the aristocracy.
In France, those with the word "German" in their names are basically nobles.
A descendant of a nobleman loves revolutionary war songs whose lyrics call on the common people to take up arms and beat the nobles' dog brains into pig brains... This is indeed a bit magical.
"Haha? Master, do you know the story of "La Marseillaise"?"
Elodie's eyes sparkled with countless little stars, her tone was very excited, and her expression was inexplicably excited.
"Uh... I only know a little bit." Qingdeng continued to lie.
"Then it seems that Master, you and "La Marseillaise" have a different fate!"
Elodie put her hands on her hips, showing a righteous and awe-inspiring expression.
"That being the case, then I have to teach you, master, to sing "Marseillaise"!"
…
That day... no, it should be said that it was those days. Elodie, who had a fanatical love for "La Marseillaise", kept pestering Qingdeng, spending every spare moment, and used every opportunity to teach Qingdeng to sing "La Marseillaise".
Marseillaise", putting on a tough posture of "Master, when you learn it, I will stop."
Although after becoming Elodie's tutor, Qingden was influenced by the Angoulême family and was no longer a novice who knew nothing about French, but his mastery of French was still limited to speaking only Bonjour (
Hello), Au revoir (goodbye) and other simple everyday vocabulary levels.
Due to his weak foundation in French, Qingden suffered a lot in the process of learning to sing "La Marseillaise".
Just practicing pronunciation almost made Qingdeng's tongue cramp up.
But fortunately, the lyrics of Marseillaise are very easy to understand. With the blessing of "Ghost Heart", Qingdeng finally knew the melody and lyrics of the song by heart.
In this way, Aoto learned a French song in Japan under the Edo shogunate - a revolutionary war song that would change the faces of feudal rulers.
When the soldiers suddenly started singing, my grandson followed the sound and looked over with his movements completely synchronized with Qingdeng's.
"Ah, I can also sing this ballad~~" my grandson smiled.
"Would you like to go over and join them?" Qingdeng suggested half-jokingly.
"I don't have to~" my grandson shrugged, "it's so embarrassing to sing in front of so many people~~"
My grandson said "no" on his lips, but his body was very honest - he hummed softly to the tune of the folk song that the soldiers were singing in unison with a tone that sounded like a mosquito's moan.
My grandson is in a clearly good mood tonight.
It's no wonder, after all, the overall situation has been decided, and it is impossible for the Xiangma people to stir up any more troubles.
The total strength of the Xiangma Zhong is only about 200 people at full strength - in today's battle, their number of wounded and dead must be at least hundreds.
More than half were killed or wounded... Such casualties were enough to completely collapse the morale of a strong army that had fought hundreds of battles.
Can the fighting will of a group of thieves be stronger than that of an elite troop?
Qingden guessed: The gangsters of Xiangma Zhong must be huddled in the depths of the mountain stronghold and trembling. Whether they have the courage to pick up weapons again and continue to fight against the crusade is a question.
At this time, a colleague hurried over with a strange expression:
"My grandson, please come to the west entrance of the village quickly. Mr. Kanazawa is looking for you if there is something urgent."
"At the west entrance of the village? Kanazawa-kun?" My grandson raised his eyebrows, "What does he want from me?"
"this……"
Tongxin hesitated for a while, then put his lips to my grandson's ear and whispered something to my grandson.
When Tongxin finished whispering and straightened his back, the expression on my grandson's face suddenly became weird.
"...I understand." My grandson waved his hand and signaled this fellow to step back, "I'll go right away~~"
Qingdeng glanced at Tongxin’s leaving figure:
"My grandson, what's wrong? What happened?"
"Nothing big happened." My grandson shrugged, "It's just...a lovely guest came~~"
"Huh? Lovely guest?"
Qingdeng was about to ask more questions, but he saw that my grandson had already walked away with his hands behind his back.
Out of curiosity, Qingdeng quickly lifted his heels.
After a while, the two came to the west side of Daohe Village.
When he was still a short distance away from the west entrance of the village, Qingdeng heard bursts of fierce arguments floating in the air:
"Brother! Please! Let me join the battle! I can protect myself!"
"Nonsense! Where do you think this is? We are not on an outing! We are at war! Go home!"
At the west entrance of Daohe Village, there were many soldiers standing on three floors inside and three outside. Everyone was standing on tiptoes, stretching their necks, watching something.
"Ah, my grandson-sama! Tachibana-sama!"
In the crowd, I don't know who shouted so loudly.
Immediately afterwards, the crowd parted to the left and right, leaving a wide passage for Qingdeng and my grandson to pass through.
Along this passage, Qingto saw Kanazawa Chusuke. He was leaning on a cane with his right leg injured, and stared at a young samurai standing opposite him with a frown. This man was dressed in simple clothes.
He wore a long and short sword neatly around his waist. He put his hands on his hips and stared back at Tadatsuki Kanazawa without any sign of weakness.
Kanazawa Chusuke and this young samurai were staring at each other in front of everyone - anyone with a sharp eye would notice that the facial features of these two people have quite a lot of similarities.
The first time he saw this young warrior, Qingden's brows raised uncontrollably.
"Miss Kanazawa?"
This young samurai...or rather this girl disguised as a man, is none other than Kanazawa Chusuke's sister, the only female swordsman besides Sanako in the Chiba Sword Hall: Kanazawa Qin!
When he heard Aoto's voice, Kanazawa Qin was startled for a moment, and then no longer bothered to look at Kanazawa Chusuke angrily, and quickly followed the sound and looked towards Aoto.
"Ah, ah! Mr. Tachibana...?!"
In an instant, a hint of embarrassment appeared between Kanazawa Qin's eyebrows.
At this moment, my grandson walked slowly to the side of Kanazawa Chusuke.
"Kanazawa-kun. What is going on? Why is your sister here?"
"This...sigh..." Kanazawa Chusuke let out a long sigh with a look of hatred on his face, "My grandson, Tachibana-kun, I'm sorry. My sister is so stupid that I made you laugh."
Having said that, Kanazawa Chusuke briefly explained the reasons why Kanazawa Qin suddenly appeared here.
The reason is not complicated: although Kanazawa Qin is a girl, she has a wild heart eager to kill the enemy and serve the country.
After learning that the fire bandits were sent to annihilate Kai's bandits, and that his brother was also involved in this operation, he secretly disguised himself as a man and followed the troops cautiously, hoping to participate in this bandit war.
Combat.

Those who have never heard "La Marseillaise" can give it a listen. The power of this revolutionary hymn is incredible. Even if you don't understand French at all, you can feel a strong power in every note.
Diegejia: In order to prevent being said that the number of words is "too low", the author Jun will give a small spoiler - the reason why he suddenly mentioned that Elodie likes "La Marseillaise", Qing Deng learned how to do it under Elodie's training
There is definitely no reason to sing "La Marseillaise". Please rest assured and look forward to the subsequent plot.
The author Jun Kepu mentioned in the previous article that "in 1860, large-scale peasant uprisings broke out across Japan" - this is not the author's nonsense, this is real historical data. Throughout the year, there were large-scale peasant uprisings
Nearly a hundred times. However, the author of this information map cannot be found (leopard death.jpg)
