Chapter 818 I, Ju Qingden, just like to show off! 4600
As soon as this order came out, the whole audience was shocked.
Everyone looked at Qingdeng in astonishment.
The outspoken Sanosuke Harada asked directly:
"Mr. Tachibana, where are you going?"
"I have some very important things to do. Time is tight. I will explain it to you in detail later."
This kind of vague reply naturally cannot convince everyone.
Fortunately, after a brief period of surprise, Hijikata Toshizo has returned to his calm appearance as the "Deputy Commander of the Demon".
He looked at Qingdeng deeply and thoughtfully:
"...I understand, leave it to me."
He said and turned to look at the others:
"Have you heard the general's order? Move quickly! Rush to the rescue of Ikedaya!"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion - even though they were full of doubts, since Ayoto and Hijikata Toshizo had spoken one after another, they could only obey the orders obediently.
They immediately formed a team, and then, led by Yamazaki Hao, they rushed to Ikedaya at full speed - Yamazaki Hao knew a convenient shortcut.
Saito is in the forward position and Hijikata Toshizo is in the rear position.
When it was time to set off, Toshizo Hijikata, who stayed at the end of the queue, did not leave immediately.
He had already stepped forward with his front foot, but he seemed to remember something and took the foot back, then turned his head sideways, looked at Qingdeng, and said softly:
"Orange, I wish you good luck in martial arts."
Qingdeng was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly:
"Well, I also wish you good luck in martial arts!"
Hijikata Toshizo slightly curved the corners of his mouth, waved his hands gracefully, and then took steps again to catch up with the large army.
Qingdeng stood there and watched the generals go.
After they were completely gone and their figures disappeared at the corner of the street, Miss Sumire's voice sounded from behind Qingto:
"...Tachibana Anyi, I really envy you."
Miss Sumire and Ebina Ye Zong walked out of the alley one after another, and then stood on the left and right sides of Qingto.
"'Envy'? What do you mean?"
Miss Sumire looked at the direction Hijikata Toizan and others had just left, with an unabashed look of envy on her face:
"You have a group of good subordinates. Especially that Hijikata Toshizo."
"He obviously didn't know why you suddenly left the team, and he was full of confusion, but he still chose to believe in you and took over the command resolutely."
"I'm so envious of having such a good subordinate who completely trusts you and can act independently."
After Qingdeng heard this, he chuckled a few times:
"When I have time in the future, I will introduce to you in detail how outstanding my subordinates are."
"As for now, let's work together to win this battle!"
Speaking of this, Qingdeng put on a serious expression:
"Miss Sumire, take me quickly to the warehouse where a large amount of fuel is stored."
Miss Sumire also returned to her serious and solemn look.
"This is natural. But before that, please wait for my subordinates... Ah, let's talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here."
Suddenly, Qingdeng heard the sound of footsteps coming from far and near.
He subconsciously raised his hand to hold Vairocana around his waist.
"Tachibana Aki, don't worry, my capable subordinates are here."
As soon as Miss Sumire finished speaking, she saw seven beautiful figures rushing out of the darkness in the distance.
They ran quickly along the roof, then jumped down nimbly, landing firmly around Miss Sumire.
Qingto took a closer look and saw that these seven people, without exception, were all young women in their twenties, and they were all wearing the same "kunoichi outfit" as Miss Sumire.
"Tachibana Anyi, let me introduce you briefly."
"They are all my capable subordinates."
"Just think of them as well-trained and agile female ninjas."
"Their job is to collect intelligence, not to fight with others, so their combat effectiveness is not outstanding."
"However, they are all good at using hidden weapons such as hidden arrows, shurikens, and kunai."
"Although they can't fight the enemy head-on, they can harass the enemy from the side, which is more than enough."
"Right now, we are very short of manpower, so I decided to bring them along as well."
"A little more help is always better than nothing."
When Miss Sumire said this, she turned her head in a different direction and looked at the female ninjas.
"Gentlemen, this is the 'Benevolent King' Tachibana Aoden. In front of him, you must remain polite."
As soon as these words came out, the first two girls - one was a petite little sister with an immature face; the other was a plump older sister with a mature face - immediately stood up and introduced themselves to Qingdeng.
The petite little sister stammered:
"Nioh-sama! First time, first time we meet! My name is A Tao!"
The plump elder sister said calmly:
"First time we meet, I'm Amei."
Following these two people, several other kunoichi announced their names.
The talent "photographic memory" is activated - Qingden remembers their names while sweeping his eyes, looking at their appearance and observing their expressions.
Just look carefully, but if you look carefully, you will find that they are all beauties with beautiful faces.
There are both Xiaojiabiyu like A Tao and cool big sisters like Amei.
However, what is interesting is that they do not have stars in their eyes or adoration on their faces just because the man in front of them is the famous "Benevolent King".
Qingden keenly noticed that when they looked at him, there was a faint coldness in their eyes.
Some of them—such as A Tao and Amei—even had a hint of hostility on their pretty faces.
This actually made Qingdeng feel a little confused and curious.
In recent years, he has become accustomed to the admiration, respect and affection of others.
Suppress the bandits, quell the war, protect the country and the people, restore production, keep oneself clean, and do not take away anyone.
Even regardless of the thoughts of the Samu sect, from the perspective of ordinary people, Qingteng is a rare outstanding person and a good official.
Even people who don't like him have to agree with Qingdeng's abilities and achievements, and they can't help but show admiration when talking about him.
Apart from the Zunbo faction and those sour spirits who looked down upon others, Qingden really couldn't figure out why a group of female ninjas who had no grudges in the past and had no grudges in recent times rejected him so much.
Under normal circumstances, Qingdeng might have explored the reason with great interest.
But obviously, now is not the time to do such a thing.
He turned to look at Miss Sumire and asked:
"You, me, Mr. Ebina, and these seven female ninjas - is this our total combat power?"
Miss Sumire shook her head:
"No, there is one more person. Tachibana Aki, do you remember what I just said? Apart from Mr. Ebina, there is another martial arts master who specializes in combat that I can immediately call upon."
Qingdeng nodded when he heard this - Ebi Ming Ye Zong also said this.
"The more manpower the better, so I transferred that man as reinforcement."
Having said this, Miss Sumire paused, then put on a confident smile:
"That man is different from the rest of us who only know how to use concealed weapons. He is a real combat expert!"
"Exquisite skills, rich experience, only personality... slightly flawed due to some complicated reasons."
"His participation in the war will definitely make us even more powerful!"
As soon as Miss Sumire finished speaking, Qingden asked:
"So...where are the others?"
Qingdeng asked, looking around.
"Miss Sumire, don't tell me to wait here until that person arrives."
Miss Sumire immediately replied:
"How is that possible!"
"For some reasons, he couldn't come here right away."
"However, I have already asked him to rush to the warehouse."
"He met us at the warehouse and then entered the warehouse together!"
Qingdeng listened and nodded gently:
"That's it, that's good. I just want to rush to the warehouse immediately. Everything else is beyond the scope of my promise."
Miss Sumire nodded in agreement:
"Well, each other! Now, let's get going!"
Before she finished speaking, she jumped up as lightly as plucking onions on dry land, reached out to grab the rafters under the eaves, then flipped up like origami, and stood firmly on the roof.
"Tachibana Aki, follow me!"
The next moment she finished speaking, she raised her feet and ran wildly, making the wooden planks and tiles on the roof creak under her feet.
In just two breaths, his figure disappeared into the boundless night.
…
…
From a certain perspective, Qingto can be regarded as a ninja.
After joining the New Royal Court, he received extremely strict ninja training.
From leaping across houses, to sliding doors and picking locks, to indoor fighting, apart from a few sporadic tricks such as concealed weapon throwing and seduction techniques, Qingto has mastered all the skills that a ninja should know.
Therefore, he easily caught up with Miss Sumire without any effort.
Ebina Ye Zong, Ah Tao, Amei and other kunoichi also followed closely.
Qingto and Ebina Ye Zong were running on the ground.
The female ninjas headed by Sumire-san were all moving on the roof.
Frankly speaking, Qingnobo really doesn't understand why the kunoichi are so fond of "flying over the roof and walking over the wall".
If it was to chase someone, or to run diagonally across the street, it would be okay to do so.
But now this section of road can be moved on a flat street, but Miss Sumire and others insist on staying on the roof.
The same goes for Kinoshita Mai. She would jump up to the roof if she disagreed with her. Even if there was a road to take, she would not change her preference.
Just as the group was immersed in their journey, Qingden suddenly heard Miss Sumire shouting:
"A Tao! Is there anything to eat? I haven't eaten yet tonight, I'm almost starving!"
"Ah! Yes, yes! I just happened to have a rice ball with me."
As Tao said, he took out a paper bag from his arms and threw it to Miss Sumire.
Miss Sumire waved her hand, caught the paper bag firmly, and tore it open with her teeth, revealing a fist-sized rice ball wrapped in seaweed.
She just continued to run, while devouring the rice balls, her cheeks bulging high, like a squirrel collecting supplies for the winter.
This look... at best is heroic, at worst it's unladylike.
While eating, she suddenly frowned:
"Why are there plums in the rice balls... Damn it, I really want to eat rice balls stuffed with salmon...!"
After hearing this, A Tao quickly apologized:
"No, I'm very sorry!"
"Ah, no need to apologize. I was just complaining."
Even when she was talking to someone, her eating speed did not slow down at all.
She stuffed the remaining rice ball into her mouth three times, and then licked her fingers with unfinished content.
Qingdeng, who had a panoramic view of this scene from the corner of his eye, couldn't help but think to himself:
——Is this Miss Sumire’s true character...
After learning that Zi Yang was Miss Sumire, Qing Teng experienced what "disillusionment" meant for the first time in his life.
Previously, Aoshito's impression of Ziyang was no different from the public's impression of Ziyang - she was beautiful, dignified, and full of charm, and she was well-deserved as "the best geisha in Kyoto".
On the other hand, she is now presented as "Miss Sumire"...the so-called "two different people" is nothing more than that.
The face is still the same, but the temperament and behavior are completely different.
Take the rice dumpling just now as an example——
Not only did it look unpalatable, but after discovering that the rice ball was not to his liking, he secretly cursed "Damn it."
Also, after eating the rice balls, she did not forget to lick her fingers... Although her finger licking movements were very elegant and did not make people feel vulgar, but showed a strange temptation.
If the fans of "Ziyang" were allowed to see this scene, I'm afraid they would die and not want to believe their own eyes, let alone believe that the person in front of them could be the perfect geisha that they are fascinated by.
If "Purple Yang" symbolizes perfection, it symbolizes "a man's ideal woman".
So "Miss Sumire"... Qingden thought about it and came up with a very appropriate description——
If "Miss Sumire" wore a long skirt that reached her ankles and added some tongue-in-cheek accents when speaking, she would be a standard bad girl!
Her bold and unrestrained posture, as well as her high-status attitude when talking to A Tao, Amei and others, made her look like a big sister.
"Perfect Geisha" or "Bad Girl", which one is the real her?
Qingden prefers the latter.
Just when Qingteng was secretly lamenting Miss Sumire's "double image", he suddenly heard Miss Sumire's questioning voice:
"Tachibana Aki, it's too troublesome to pronounce your word 'tachibana'. It has four syllables (Tachibara). For the sake of convenience, can I just call you 'Aki' for short?"
Qingdeng replied without hesitation:
"Please. However, in exchange, can I just call you 'A Jin'? 'Miss Jin' is very troublesome to pronounce."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Tao, Ah Mei and other female ninjas immediately turned their heads and cast displeased glances at him.
Although they expressed their dissatisfaction very restrainedly, Miss Sumire herself nodded straightforwardly:
"Okay. It's just a title. You can call me whatever you like."
Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, and then started talking about business:
"An Yi, although the current situation is urgent, if you think about it from another angle, this might as well be a good opportunity to severely damage the Zunhuang faction."
"Your subordinates successfully found the meeting place of Miyabe Daizo, Katsura Kogoro and others - this is an unexpected surprise for us!"
"As long as we take down the warehouse and deal with Yoshida Minoru and others who were responsible for setting fire to the city, and then your subordinates will kill all Miyabe Daizo and others from Ikedaya, then it will be the best of both worlds!"
"These guys gathered in Kyoto tonight are all capable men of the Zunbo Sect."
"If all these people die...then the deeds of today and tonight will be recorded in history forever!"
Compared to Miss Sumire's excitement, Qingto is particularly calm.
Even after listening to the other party's impassioned speech, he looked indifferent.
Maybe he was just unfounded, but he always felt that...for tonight's action, the Zunbang Sect had been preparing for a long time and mobilized countless manpower and material resources.
Can they really win easily?
As soon as he thought of this, Qingden couldn't help but raise his left hand and hold Vairochana at his waist.
…
…
Kyoto, somewhere——
Under the leadership of Miss Sumire, the group arrived at the outskirts of Kyoto.
A remote, shabby-looking warehouse caught Qingdeng's eyes.
"This way."
Miss Sumire turned a corner and led everyone into a dark alley near the warehouse.
Qingden raised his ears and activated his talent "Perception of Wind +3" - and sure enough, there was noisy movement in the warehouse, and there were quite a few people.
"A Tao, go check on the situation."
"yes!"
After receiving the order, A Tao jumped out like a rabbit.
About 3 minutes later, she returned to everyone.
"Miss Sumire, the situation... is not good..."
A Tao swallowed hard and continued with an ugly expression.
"There are a lot of people in the warehouse, about thirty people."
"The opponent's weapons are very sophisticated. In addition to swords and wakizashi, they also have short spears, naginata, and bows and arrows."
"I think we must take a long-term view and make detailed plans..."
Ah Tao hasn't finished speaking yet——
"What? Only 30 people? It turns out it's that simple."
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the warehouse...

PS1: As expected, I still can’t give up on the kunoichi... Even though I already have the kunoichi named Amu, I still can’t help but create a bunch of new ninjas! The Atao and Amei in this chapter are from Volume 3
"Miss Peach" and "Miss Mei" who appeared in Chapter 93, I hope everyone knows about it.
PS2: Thanks to the book friend [Nv Jiayan]! Thanks to his many suggestions, Bao Baozi was able to create the character "Miss Sumire". He has a share of the credit for the birth of this character! (Bao Pao Belly.jpg
)
Yesterday when I played "Black Myth: Wukong", Bao Baozi was very moved - I never thought that we could also make such a powerful stand-alone game! It is really a landmark game!
