Chapter 331 The hero saves the beauty! Faces the lawless prodigal! 4200
"You bitch! You are so brave! How dare you kick my knife with your foot!"
A burly man with unkempt hair and a dirty face, and except for the long and short swords hanging on his waist, there was nothing about his body that looked like a beggar. He took a step across and blocked the road ahead of Tianzhang Courtyard.
"What do you want to do?"
Tianzhangyuan's willow eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes without sadness or joy swept across the faces of the ronls from left to right.
The group of uninvited guests who suddenly burst out of the thorns and surrounded the Tianzhangyuan mother and son all had the classic image of "jobless ronin".
The tattered clothes were so dirty that the original color could not be seen.
My hair, which had not been washed for an unknown amount of time, was covered with hoarfrost-like scalp and dandruff.
Judging from the hairstyle, some people used to have beautiful mens hair, but in the past, these mens hair was shaved cleanly and neatly, and now they have grown into shape because they have not been taken care of for a long time.
"There is a layer of short, prickly hair on the top of the head, and the hair on the left and right temples is lush and green, with teeth and claws spread like a primeval forest" in a strange appearance.
The dirt on their faces was so thick that it was almost caked together. But even so, it still couldn't hide their sallow complexion and slightly sunken cheeks.
It can be seen that these people must have not eaten serious meals for a while, and their nutritional intake is seriously insufficient.
As of a second ago, Qingto, who was still telling Yae "don't be so nervous", was now stunned in place with a confused look on his face.
Yae on the side raised his eyes and cast a meaningful look at Qingden.
Junior, I promised that "the current public security in Edo is not so bad that you will encounter an accident just out of the house" - although she did not say it clearly with her words, Yae used her eyes to convey this message to Qing very well.
Deng.
Qingden felt Yae's "deep" gaze... He vaguely felt a thorny touch coming from his face.
However, embarrassment is embarrassing. No one needs to remind him, Qingdeng also knows that now is not the time to care about such trivial matters.
As if they heard the starting gun announcing "It's time to race" at the same time, Qingdeng and the Erzhong sisters stepped forward at the same time, forming a simple human wall between Tianzhangyuan's mother and son and the Rongrants.
"Huh? Who are you?"
Seeing the sudden appearance of Qingdeng and others, the burly man who had just scolded Tianzhang Academy in a ferocious tone for "how dare you kick my knife with your feet" raised his eyebrows and his face darkened.
"Are you the companions of this bitch?"
"Hey, clean your mouth for me."
Yae's voice was as deep as her face.
"Let me hear the words 'stinky bitch' again, or I'll tear your mouth to pieces! Tear off your tongue!"
Saege didn't spit out fragrance directly like Yae, but the anger and depression on her face was no less than that of her younger sister.
In the eyes of these sisters, Tianzhangyuan is the god of this world.
How can they not be angry when the gods they devoutly believe in are so humiliated by others?
Faced with the threat from Yae... the sturdy man was not only indifferent, but also ridiculed him.
"Tear my mouth apart? Hum, hum hum hum!"
A sinister laughter burst out from the nose of the sturdy man, and he laughed so hard that his shoulders shook vigorously.
The other ronin were laughing too, stumbling with laughter, leaning forward and back.
"OK!"
The sturdy man had his hands on his hips and his arrogant demeanor, which almost had the word "arrogant" written directly on his forehead.
"Come over here! I want to see how you, a short guy like you who can't touch my vagina even if you stand on tiptoe, are going to tear my mouth apart!"
After saying that, the sturdy man straightened his waist in a very obscene manner.
After Tianzhangyuan, even he was humiliated. Yae's little face was suddenly filled with dark clouds.
She suddenly lowered her waist and spread her hands and fingers.
Just when she was about to give this rude bastard a lesson, a small hand pressed her shoulder from behind.
"Yachou." Tianzhangyuan bent down, put his mouth close to Yazhong's ear, and whispered, "Be calm and don't be impatient."
Yae turned his head and looked at Tianzhangyuan.
Through Tianzhangyuan's eyes, Yae understood Tianzhangyuan's meaning: they were here for a visit incognito, and it would be better to do less than to do more. Don't cause a very eye-catching incident until necessary.
The two sisters have never disobeyed the divine orders given by the "gods".
Therefore, despite all the unwillingness in his heart, Yae still bit his teeth hard, and then while glaring at the burly man, he slowly released his "fighting posture".
"Tangerine-kun."
Qingdeng smelled Tianzhangyuan's warm breath and pleasant body fragrance.
Even without looking back, Qingdeng knew that Tianzhangyuan was standing behind him.
"Can I ask you a favor?"
Compared with the two sisters, Aoto, who has been responsible for the security work of Edo for many years, should be better at dealing with this kind of situation - Tianzhangyuan should have this idea in mind before handling the current "unexpected accident"
Let’s entrust Qingdeng with the important responsibility.
Qing Deng nodded gently without looking back, then raised his chin, looked at the burly man standing directly opposite him, who was half a head taller than him, and said calmly:
"Who are we? This kind of thing is not important. Instead, I want to ask you - what do you want to do? Why are you blocking our way?"
"Hmph! This stinky bitch just kicked my beloved knife!"
The burly man raised his big furry hand and pointed at Tianzhang Courtyard behind Qingdeng.
"I see you also have a sword on your waist. Since you are also a samurai, you should understand what 'sword' means to a samurai!"
The strong man became more and more excited as he spoke, and he violently slapped a tattered knife on his waist, with the sheath and the handle of the knife almost falling off.
"The 'samurai soul' has been tarnished, and I cannot remain indifferent!"
After saying this, as if he wanted to put pressure on Qingtengfang and others, the sturdy man took a big step forward, in the direction of Qingtengfang and others.
His accomplices all stepped forward at almost the same time, greatly shrinking the encirclement net.
At this time, a clear male voice intervened between Qingdeng and the sturdy man who were confronting each other.
"What do you mean by 'the soul of the warrior is tarnished'? Are you too unreasonable?"
I saw Tokugawa Iemo, who had been silent just now, suddenly speak up and frown slightly, with a hint of embarrassment appearing between his delicate eyebrows.
"Your knife was kicked by someone - this is obviously your own problem. You don't even know where this place is. There are so many people here, but you insist on hanging the knife horizontally on your waist. It's obviously your own fault.
You are negligent, but not only do you not reflect on yourself, but you also turn around and blame others. What are your intentions for doing this?"
The burly man who suddenly encountered sharp ridicule was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the sound as quickly as a conditioned reflex.
Seeing that the person who scolded him was just a young man with a very immature face, the burly man's mouth immediately curled up, and a strong look of disdain suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"Haha? Who do you think you are? I can wear my sword however I like!"
After saying this plausibly, the tall man raised his chin arrogantly and looked at Tokugawa Iemo through his nostrils.
Verbal ridicule + nose-gazing... Being treated so rudely, Tokugawa Iemo didn't get angry at all.
He lowered his hands naturally and looked directly into the eyes of the tall man.
The eyes without a trace of waves are like a pool of clear water in an ancient well.
Next, something incredible happened.
"Hmm...?!"
The sturdy man seemed to have suddenly seen some incredible sight, and blinked his eyes hard several times.
From the perspective of the burly man, he now indeed saw...a bizarre scene that was enough to make his expression change.
The young man in front of me obviously looks like he is only 14 or 5 years old, and he is still a little kid who doesn't even have full hair.
It is normal for a young man of this age to be ignorant of worldly affairs, young and frivolous, childish in character, and still young.
This is how it should be...
But the amazing thing is that there is no trace of the childishness or evil spirit that is unique to young people on the face of the young man in front of him.
His eyes... seemed to be filled with an extraordinary magical power...
When he stared at me so straightly, I felt a strange feeling in my heart, wanting to stay away from him and rejecting his gaze.
In fact, the sturdy man did exactly that.
He realized belatedly that his right foot had taken a step back.
He had no memory of when he retreated.
In an instant, embarrassment and anger dominated the expression of the tall man.
——I was so frightened that I backed away from a look from a kid less than half my age?
"Kyuubi, what's wrong with you?"
The wanderers beside the sturdy man all noticed the strange appearance he had carved.
A bunch of doubtful and puzzled eyes were focused on the tall man like a searchlight.
He felt like a burly man being roasted on a stove, and all the blood in his body was rushing to the top of his head.
Just as the burly man was thinking about how to save his face——
"...Say it."
Qingdeng asked slowly with a toneless voice.
"How can you be willing to give up and stop pestering us?"
Aoto's sudden speech inadvertently gave the tough man a step forward - he could easily get over the dilemma of being frightened away by Tokugawa Iemo's look.
The sturdy man quickly cleared his throat vigorously, and then climbed down the steps and climbed down the slope.
"Let's give it up? What nonsense are you talking about?"
The sturdy man stepped firmly on his feet, took a long, deep breath with a hiss, and let his breath sink in his Dantian - the next moment, a hurricane-like sound burst out from his throat.
"The warrior's soul has been tainted, how can you tell me to let it go!!"
The thunderous roar of the sturdy man immediately attracted more onlookers.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? What happened?"
"It seems that the woman kicked the rogue's knife, and the rogue is asking for an explanation."
"It's a 'sheath'..."
"Are the ronin causing trouble again... Enough is enough. Can't these ronin be a little more peaceful... They keep causing trouble every once in a while."
"Huh? I recognize this group of rogues. They often hang around here. They are habitual criminals who use "sheaths" to extort people's money..."
"Shhh! Shhh! Keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear you... Let's go, let's go. It's better for this kind of muddy water to flow less."
…
More and more onlookers gathered, surrounding the two waves of people fighting in three circles inside and three outside.
The burly man glanced at the increasingly surging crowd around him, and a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes.
He quickly withdrew his gaze and pretended to be calm and said sternly to Qingden.
"However, I am not an evil spirit with no human feelings at all."
"That bitch behind you didn't mean to kick my saber. I can give you a break."
"But-necessary punishment must still be given."
The sturdy man opened his big palm-like hands toward Qingdeng.
"I'll give you two choices now."
"Either give me 10 taels of gold. As long as you give me 10 taels of gold, I will pretend that nothing happened."
"Either... I'll chop off the feet of that stinky woman behind you! Whichever foot of hers kicked my knife, I'll amputate the roots of her feet!"
The strong speech of the burly man, coupled with his fierce expression on his face... the intimidating effect is quite impressive.
Many onlookers around him turned pale with fright and involuntarily tightened their shoulders and necks.
The sturdy man was quite satisfied with his performance just now.
Whether it was the tone he used when making threats or the vicious expressions he made to enhance the "level of terror", he found it impeccable.
The feedback he received from the surrounding onlookers also proved that he did not feel too good about himself.
However, the person he should scare the most... Qingdeng and his party, without exception - all looked at him with expressionless faces.
Be it Aoto, the two sisters, Tokugawa Iemo, or Tenzouin, all of them looked calm and composed at this time.
And... I don't know if it was his personal illusion - he always felt that the look Qing Deng was looking at him... was a bit like he was looking at a funny comedian.
His conjecture was quickly confirmed——
"……Oh."
Qingden smiled.
A sneer made with a "hum" sound through the nose.
Then, Qingdeng turned his head back, looked at Tianzhang Courtyard, and asked:
"What do you think? What do you plan to do?"
"Hmm..." Tianzhangyuan tilted his head, thinking, "Maomao, what do you think?"
Tenzōin turned his gaze and questions to Tokugawa Iemo next to him.
Tokugawa Iemo thought for a while, raised his head, looked at Qingto and the two sisters, and said word by word:
"...Please do it as quickly as possible. Just injure them, don't kill anyone."
Tianzhangyuan nodded gently, then turned his gaze back to Qingdeng and smiled sweetly:
"Since even Maomao said so... Then please save me, heroes, and be sure to save my feet~~"
After saying that, Tianzhangyuan playfully moved his right foot, which was covered in plain white stockings, behind the heel of his left foot.
Qingdeng laughed dumbly.
"I'll do my best."
"Hey!" The burly man frowned. For some reason, he had been having an ominous premonition since just now, "You are all mumbling there... ugh!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a knee as big as a bowl, rapidly zooming in within his field of vision.
Before he could react, a sharp pain centered on his face and spread rapidly throughout his body.
