Chapter 720 Crazy Attack on Kinoshita Mais Weakness! Kidnapping the Emperor
!Burn the imperial palace!【4200】
Qingdeng took a long breath, took off the sword from his waist, and sat down cross-legged casually.
Kinoshita Mai silently approached and sat next to him obediently.
"Ah Wu, thank you for your hard work."
"It's just a matter of knocking out Tori Ikeda and then carrying him into the cellar. It's not that strenuous."
Qingden shook his head gently.
"That's not what I meant."
"It must be difficult to monitor Qinghe Hachiro for a long time, right?"
"Thank you for your hard work."
As soon as Qing Teng finished speaking, Kinoshita Mai opened her red lips without thinking.
Judging from the shape of her mouth, she probably wanted to say: Qingdeng, you are exaggerating! To me, this level is nothing!
However, when she was about to speak, she seemed to have remembered something temporarily. She paused, blinked her beautiful eyes a few times, and a sly smile slowly appeared on her cheeks.
"Well... well... whenever Qinghe Hachiro goes out, I have to follow him promptly."
"It's really hard to ensure that you don't lose track of the other party and not let the other party find out."
As she spoke, Kinoshita used her hands as a fan and fanned her face, showing a "weak" expression like "Ah, I'm exhausted."
"Instead of dryly thanking you, why not give me some substantial rewards."
After Qingdeng heard this, he couldn't help but smile:
"Oh? What reward do you want?"
"Hmm...this, this..."
Kinoshita Mai hesitated, her eyes wandered around, and her expression gradually became weird.
This look is simply the best interpretation of "He hesitates to speak".
Qingden looked at Mai Kinoshita's demeanor and behavior with great interest.
As Kinoshita Mai's old friend, how could he not know what the other party wanted to say?
Suddenly, Qingden reached out his hand, pressed Kinoshita Wu's waist, and then kneaded it skillfully with gentle and sometimes heavy force.
In an instant, Kinoshita Wu's whole body froze as if she had been struck by lightning.
Immediately afterwards, her limbs slowly relaxed.
Also relaxed were her facial lines.
She closed her eyes lightly, pursed her red lips tightly, and tried not to scream, her expression as refreshing as after taking a bath.
Qingto was surprised to discover not long ago that Kinoshita Mai liked having her waist pinched, especially the small area around her waist.
According to her own words: Once her waist and eyes are rubbed, her head will buzz, her whole body will feel numb, goosebumps will swell up, and she will feel a strange sense of comfort.
After knowing this, Qingdeng was also willing to use this "weakness" of hers as part of their daily intimate interactions.
After a long period of trial and error, Aomori has mastered the intensity and technique that make Kinoshita feel most comfortable.
With the blessing of the talent "Skilled Hands +5", Qingden is very good at massage!
It needs to be strong and powerful, and it needs to be dexterous and dexterous.
Ever since, after going back and forth, Kinoshita Mai was deeply impressed by Qingden's massage techniques.
She would come to Qingdeng every once in a while to ask for massage services.
At this moment, Kinoshita Mai's consciousness was almost overwhelmed by a strong sense of comfort.
In order to get a better experience, she simply lay down on the tatami and rested her chin with her folded arms, just like a cat urging its owner to smooth its fur.
Seeing this, Qingdeng silently sat upright and put on a meticulous and solemn posture.
Whether public or private, Kinoshita Mai is eligible to receive generous rewards.
Since she sent Kinoshita Mai to monitor Qinghe Hachiro, she has performed her duties faithfully and responsibly, closely monitoring Qinghe Hachiro's every move.
She is indeed a female ninja who is proficient in movement and stealth.
To this day, Qinghe Hachiro is still kept in the dark. He does not know that his little calculation has been seen through by Qingdeng, and he does not know that he is always being "surveilled" and "followed".
Thanks to Kinoshita Mai's ability, Seito was able to grasp the details of Kiyokawa Hachiro, and further learned that he had formed an alliance with the Tosa Kintoi Party.
Hard work pays off, so it is not an exaggeration for her to ask Qingdeng for "massage services".
It's a pity that no matter how powerful Kinoshita Mai is, no matter how good she is at collecting intelligence, her abilities are ultimately limited.
She can grasp the information that "the two parties have formed an alliance", but the specific details of the cooperation between the two parties, such as what they talked about and what kind of agreement they reached, are completely unknown.
Just now, in order to show his sincerity in abandoning the dark side and turning to the bright side, Toriyama Ikeda revealed to Aonto the battle plan of Takeichi Hanheita: sending Okada Izo to carry out a beheading operation against the captains of the Shinsengumi! Weakening Aoto's power! Wait.
After Qingdeng was isolated, he gathered together to attack again!
I have to say that Wu Shi Hanping Tai’s plan is really vicious!
Even if they kill all the captains of the Shinsengumi, they may not be able to defeat Seitō.
But...if Souji and others die, it will be a big blow to Qingto!
They are not only Seito's lovers and best friends, but also the pillars of the Shinsengumi.
Without their help, the Shinsengumi will be in danger of immediate overthrow!
If they die, the blow to Qingdeng cannot be summed up in the word "heartbreaking"!
The attack on Toudo Heisuke made Qingto realize that it was time to use the "Mole"!
The most efficient way to collect intelligence is to plant a traitor - this has always been the case throughout the ages.
Sending highly skilled ninjas to sneak into the enemy's important facilities and steal information... This kind of thing cannot be said to be unheard of, but it does rarely happen.
No matter where you go to find such a powerful ninja who can sneak into enemy facilities at will, which force will have no time to talk about their important information or write it down on paper at any time?
Kinoshita Mai's surveillance targets are not limited to Qinghe Hachiro.
Qinghe Hachiro's cronies are also under her surveillance.
Aoto called in the detailed information of Kiyokawa Hachiro's cronies submitted by Kinoshita Mai, and after many layers of selection, he finally selected the target - it's you! Ikeda Tortaro!
There are two main reasons why he took a fancy to Ikeda Tortaro.
First of all, Tortaro Ikeda is the core confidant of Hachiro Qinghe.
As early as 1861, when Seikawa Hachiro founded the overthrown organization Tiger Okai, Toriyama Ikeda served under him, so he was deeply trusted by Seikawa Hachiro.
Due to his status, it is easy for him to have access to core confidential information.
Secondly, Toriyama Ikeda is not a noble person who is indifferent to fame and wealth.
According to the report provided by Mai Kinoshita, Toriyama Ikeda is a person who likes to eat, drink and have fun, and has a lot of greed for money.
The key factor that finally made Aonto decide to choose Ikeda Tortaro was his love life - he fell in love with a wandering girl named "Hiyori" from Shimabara.
With his pitiful income, he couldn't even afford the ordinary naming fee, not to mention ransoming the other party.
Every night, he could only watch the woman he loved being taken away by other men.
In the Edo period, although those famous wandering girls were sought after by thousands of lickers, they were actually just expensive commodities.
As long as you redeem the wandering girl's life, no matter what the wandering girl's wishes are, she can only follow you.
Whether you want to marry her, take her as a concubine, or simply place her at home and treat her as an eye-catching vase, it all depends on your wishes.
Of course, it depends on your ability whether you can keep an eye on the wandering girl and prevent her from escaping.
People who are trapped by money are the easiest to win over!
In this way, Aoto set his sights on Toriyama Ikeda.
Hence tonight's scene of "bribing Toriyama Ikeda with a huge amount of money".
At this time, Kinoshita Mai, who was lying on the tatami and enjoying the massage silently, suddenly asked Ayoto:
"Aoto, if that Toriyama Ikeda later provides you with important information about Hachiro Kiyokawa and the Tosa Kinou clan, will you really abide by the agreement, allocate twelve thousand taels of gold to him, and help him obtain a household registration in Nagasaki?
?”
As she spoke, she turned her head and cast an inquiring look at Qingden.
She asked the question again.
It seemed that she was very concerned about the huge reward of twelve thousand taels of gold promised by Qingdeng.
In addition to asking for more money, Tortaro Ikeda also asked to help him and Hiyori obtain household registration in the Nagasaki area after the matter was completed.
Nagasaki is located on the large island of Kyushu, in the southwestern corner of Japan.
It seems that after he deceived Qinghe Hachiro and Tosa Kin's gang, he wanted to hide far away to avoid retaliation, stay away from troubles, and live a comfortable life without fighting against the world.
To this request of Tortaro Ikeda, Aomori readily nodded in agreement.
Nowadays, Aoshinobu has a small status in the shogunate.
If it was in his domain's territory, he might not be able to do it.
But as long as it is within the territory of the shogunate, no matter where the household registration is, you only need to go to that place to get a letter, and the agent of that place will be busy helping Aishoto get it done.
[Note: Daikan: the middle- and lower-level officials in charge of the military, government, agriculture, and industry in Japan's medieval times, which can be understood as local grassroots officials]
For Qingdeng, this trivial matter is just a matter of opening his mouth, spending a few spittles, and lifting a finger.
As soon as Kinoshita Mai's front leg finished speaking, her back leg Ayoto took the trouble and answered without hesitation:
"Of course!"
"If he can make great achievements as promised, all the conditions I promised him will be fulfilled one by one!"
"I will help him get Nagasaki household registration as quickly as possible."
"Twelve thousand taels of gold, even one tael will be enough for him."
"'Integrity' and 'bribery' are inseparable twins."
"If I become a villain who breaks my word, who else will sacrifice their life for me from now on?"
After hearing this, Kinoshita Mai was silent for a moment.
Before she could, she puffed up her cheeks and pursed her lips:
"Qingdeng, I still think that giving that guy twelve thousand taels of gold as a reward is really a waste..."
Looking at the emotional Kinoshita Mai, Qingto couldn't help but laugh:
"Ah Wu, this little money is of no importance at all, it's just a small amount."
"If we can successfully destroy the Tosa Kinwang Party, how can the benefits obtained be comparable to that of a mere ten thousand gold?"
What Qingdeng said was not bragging.
Twelve thousand taels of gold—for an average family, this may be an astronomical sum that is unimaginable.
But for the Shinsengumi, who already had 3,000 generals, stable financial resources, and received an annual payment of 20,000 taels of gold from the shogunate, this was indeed just a small amount of money.
Kinoshita Mai was silent for a while.
Suddenly, she spoke again:
"Qingden, since it is now confirmed that the Tosa King's party is trying to harm us, then why do we need to collect evidence?"
“Isn’t it enough to just mobilize the army, blockade the Tosa Domain’s residence, surround them and annihilate them?”
"With their little fighting power, they are no match for us."
As soon as she finished speaking, she was immediately refuted by Qingdeng.
"Ah Wu, that's not okay."
As he spoke, he put on a serious and serious tone.
"Scorning morality and advocating force, as long as there is force everything will be fine - this kind of thinking is unacceptable."
"The most typical case of relying on one's own martial prowess and ultimately being defeated is Xiang Yu."
"Think about how brave Xiang Yu was back then?"
"The cauldron is broken, the boat is destroyed, and the hundred and two Qin passes finally belong to Chu."
"He defeated the Qin army, put down the rebellion in Qilu, and defeated Liu Bang so much that he abandoned his armor and even his son and daughter."
"But what about in the end?"
"He fought victoriously all his life, but in the end he was defeated in Gaixia. He couldn't even protect his own woman, and ended up with the tragic end of committing suicide in Wujiang River."
"The reason is that Xiang Yu does not abide by morality and is superstitious about his own strength. He thinks that he can level the world and maintain his position as the overlord forever by relying on force alone."
"On the other hand, his opponent Liu Bang understands the power of morality."
"Xiang Yu keeps winning, but his friends are getting fewer and fewer, and his enemies are getting more and more."
"Liu Bang keeps losing, but his enemies are getting fewer and fewer, and his friends are getting more and more."
"Liu Bang can lose eight times out of ten, but Xiang Yu can't afford to lose even once."
"A similar example is Napoleon in France."
"Like Xiang Yu, Napoleon possessed extraordinary military talent and was invincible on the battlefield."
"He kept fighting and winning, but there were more and more enemies, and he was finally defeated in Waterloo."
"He and Xiang Yu are the same type of people. They will always win, and they are always winning, but they will fail one day, and that will be their day of doom."
"We cannot imitate Xiang Yu and Napoleon."
"The stronger we become, the more we must abide by morality and not bully the weak."
"Only in this way can we obtain power that is more powerful than mere 'force'."
"It is true that we have now determined that the Tosa King's party is trying to do us harm."
"However, if we raise troops to attack and destroy the Tosa King's Party without providing any solid evidence, how will the people of the world view us?"
"No matter when and where we are, we must uphold the basic principle of 'having a good reputation' and must not act on impulse."
“Accumulate ‘people’s hearts’ and ‘morality’ bit by bit.”
"One day, the accumulated 'people's hearts' and 'morality' will form an overwhelming force! Overwhelm the disloyal people in the world!"
Kinoshita Mai listened as if she didn't understand.
"Hmm... I'm so unwilling..."
She bit her teeth lightly, a look of anger appearing on her pretty face.
"You know who the murderer is, but you can't fight back..."
Qingden smiled slightly and reached out to stroke Kinoshita Mai's hair.
"Ah Wu, please bear with it a little longer, those clowns won't be able to dance for much longer."
At the same moment when he finished speaking, Qingdeng's expression was dominated by strong coldness.
…
…
Today’s Kyoto is simply a powder keg!
Those eye-catching big news appeared one after another, which made people breathless.
On July 20, the imperial court announced that the emperor would visit the mausoleum of Emperor Yamato Jimmu and Kasuga Taisha Shrine.
At the same time, news spread wildly in the market: The Zunbo faction will take this opportunity to kidnap the emperor and burn the imperial palace!
