"By the way, how is Miss Chiba's injury?"
After asking, Tianzhangyuan raised his hand and made a gesture on his shoulder.
What she said was naturally referring to the wound that Sanako suffered in the battle of Kikyo Mountain.
At that time, Sanako was completely defeated by Rakshasa, and unfortunately he was stabbed in the shoulder.
Qingdeng replied:
"It's nothing serious. It's just a skin injury. The arteries and bones are fine."
Tianzhangyuan nodded slightly.
"That's fine. I just hope there won't be any scars. It would be a pity if such a beautiful woman got scars unfortunately."
Qingdeng smiled slightly:
"There is no need to worry about this. According to her own words, she has a body that is not prone to scars. No matter how big or deep the wound is, it can heal as before."
In fact, Qingdeng had the same worries as Tianzhangyuan.
After the Battle of Platycodon Mountain was over and the Rakshasa and others were successfully driven back, Qingto immediately asked Sanako about the status of his injuries.
"This small injury is not a big deal. Just take some anti-inflammatory medicine and rest for a while, and you will be able to recover without leaving any traces."
In order to dispel Qingden's worries, Sanako also lifted her clothes off her shoulders to show him her injuries.
The terrible wound across his shoulder had obviously stopped bleeding on its own before any medicine was applied.
When Qingdeng saw this, he couldn't help but think:
Sanako is the daughter of a samurai family who has been determined to study martial arts since she was a child.
Since I have been practicing martial arts since I was young, it is inevitable to have bumps and bruises.
In addition, she is not the kind of delicate young lady who hides in the boudoir every day.
Although she can't be said to be exposed to wind and sun every day, the number of times and time she has to go to and from the wind and rain due to her martial arts practice are not many at all.
There are no skin care products or sunscreens in Japan at this time.
But even so, Sanako's skin is still as white as snow, and more elastic than Koshiro jelly.
From this point of view, Sanako was not lying. She was indeed naturally beautiful and her skin was in frighteningly good condition.
Qingto speculated: Sanako probably possesses a superior talent similar to "body building".
[Note: "Physical fitness": one of Qingden's talents, the effect is "excellent injury recovery speed"]
"Do you have a physique that is not prone to scars... Then you are the same as me."
Speaking of this, a hint of reminiscence appeared on Tianzhangyuan's cheeks.
"Sheng Qing, I think you should have heard that when I was a child, I was very naughty. I was wilder than boys. I would fight everywhere. There was no place like the beach, woods, grassland... there was no place where I didn't dare to go or play. Because I played so crazy that I got a lot of injuries all over my body, but these injuries healed quickly and didn’t leave any scars.”
When she was a child, Tenzouin was a very lively and energetic Genki Loli - this is an anecdote that everyone in Edo City knows.
When Tenzouin was the eldest daughter of the Imawa Izumi family, one of the four major branches of Shimadzu, she was a "heroine" who was famous throughout the Satsuma aristocratic circle for being naughty, mischievous, and bolder than boys.
According to legend, part of the reason why Shimazu Saibin, the previous governor of Satsuma Domain, chose Tenzouin as his marriage partner was that Tenzouin was astute and smart as his peers.
Tenzouin's biological father, the current head of the Izumi family, Shimazu Tadano, once lamented: It's such a pity, it would have been better if Yuichi had been a boy.
[Note·Yu Yi: Tianzhangyuan’s childhood name. The official name was later changed to "Shimadzu City". After being adopted by the previous governor of the Satsuma Domain, Shimazu Saibin, the name was changed to "Shimazu Atsuko". In order to raise her family status and facilitate her marriage with the Edo shogunate, she changed her name to "Konoe Keiko" when she became the adopted daughter of the imperial minister Konoe's family. After marrying far away in Edo, her husband Tokugawa Iatesada died of illness and had to become a nun. Only then did she get her current ordination name: Tenzouin Hall, the three respectful and obedient eldest sisters, Zhenjing, commonly known as "Tenzhangin"]
At this time, Tianzhangyuan paused as if he remembered something.
Suddenly, she said slowly in a faint tone:
"Sheng Qing, you should pay more attention to Miss Chiba."
When Qingdeng heard this, he was startled at first, and then his face darkened as he realized what Tianzhangyuan meant.
What Tianzhangyuan said next was exactly what he expected:
"For a strong and lofty person like Miss Chiba who is obsessed with martial arts, it is a great shame to be defeated by others' swords without the ability to fight back..."
"……Yes, I know."
Qingden nodded slightly and sighed deeply.
In fact, when leaving Kikyo Mountain, Qingto had already vaguely felt that Sanako was in a very low mood.
He also understood Sanako's feelings very well.
If you think about it from another person's perspective, if you were beaten by someone else, you would feel very angry and unwilling.
Even I can't accept this kind of thing, let alone Sanako, who has higher self-esteem and stronger strength?
Qingden wanted to persuade Sanako to cheer up, but he didn't know how to speak.
It would be easier to handle if there was an argument between Souji or Mai Kinoshita.
After all, they both have very soft ears and are very easy to coax.
As for Souji, she has a relatively simple mind and is naturally optimistic. It is not easy for her to fall into a long-term depression due to something. Take her to eat something delicious, such as her favorite sweets such as Jinpei candy and Dorayaki. She will immediately become happy.
As for Kinoshita Mai, it is easier to deal with. Cuddle her, give her a hug, say something nice to her, and her mood will brighten up quickly.
However, the object of this emotional problem happened to be Sanako, who had an independent personality and no obvious 'weaknesses'...
Qingdeng, who was deeply worried about this matter, unconsciously asked Tianzhangyuan beside him:
"Your Highness, after all, you are 6 years older than me. Do you have any good suggestions on how to comfort Miss Sanako?"
"I'm not an 'elder', I'm still young!"
Tianzhangyuan gave Qingdeng an annoyed look, and raised his hands to rub his own skin, which was still very tender. There was no trace of the beautiful skin of a 25-year-old woman.
Due to proper maintenance and her own unique talent, just from the appearance, it is completely unrecognizable that Tianzhangyuan is a mature woman who is about to enter her third year of life. At first glance, she will only appear to be in her early 20s.
After withdrawing his gaze from Qingdeng, Tianzhangyuan raised his gaze and looked into the distance, thinking like a priest in the confessional.
Qing Deng originally just mentioned it casually, but after seeing that Tianzhang Yuan was really thinking about it seriously, he waited patiently, expecting to hear something from the other party that would make his eyes light up, or even enlighten him.
Tianzhangyuan did not keep Qingden waiting.
About a minute later, she said seriously and word by word:
"Let's go to Wushan with her."
Qingdeng happened to be swallowing his saliva at the same time when Tianzhang's violent remarks came out.
Then, his eyes widened suddenly, and the saliva in his throat immediately ran into his trachea.
"Ahem! Ahem! Ahem! Ahem!"
He bent over in a very awkward manner and coughed violently.
After he regained his breath, he immediately straightened up and said quickly to Tianzhang Courtyard with a confused expression:
"Your Majesty, your Majesty! What are you talking about?!"
"I'm not talking nonsense, I'm serious."
Tianzhangyuan paused for a moment, then changed to a greasy uncle-like tone:
"Miss Chiba is a very lustful girl~ Her nature is not as serious as it seems~ If you perform the courtesy of Duke Zhou with her, she will definitely be so comfortable that she will forget all her worries~~"
Hearing what Tianzhangyuan said, Qingdeng immediately showed a rather charming expression that was mixed with confusion and suspicion.
"Your Highness, how do you know Miss Sanako is so lustful? You are not familiar with her at all, are you?"
While questioning Tianzhangyuan out loud, he thought to himself: Miss Sanako always looks aloof and indifferent to strangers, and she doesn't look like she covets men.
As far as Ayoto knows, the only friendship Tenzouin has with Sanako is the chance encounter when Sanako and Souji came to Tsukinomiya Shrine to pay homage. Based on this contact alone, Tenzouin can know Sanako. The nature of the Son?
As if deliberately trying to whet Qingdeng's appetite, Tianzhangyuan did not respond immediately.
But after pretending to be deep in silence for a moment, he slowly raised the corners of his seductive lips, and a meaningful smile appeared on his peach-like cheeks.
"Because I smell the same kind of scent on her body."
"'similar'?"
Qingden was stunned for a moment.
Because Tianzhangyuan's answer was completely unexpected, his head didn't turn around for a while.
It wasn't until Russia that he reacted belatedly.
Tianzhangyuan said that Sanazi was a lecher.
But at the same time, she also said that Sanako was of the same kind.
In other words, Tianzhang Academy is also a...
Thinking of this, Qingdeng quickly raised his head and subconsciously glanced at Tianzhang Courtyard with complex emotions.
However, I didn't see that beautiful face that was as good as Sanako's.
All she could see was the short ponytail that had to be shortened to shoulder height because she had become a nun, the straight and beautiful back covered with white clothes, and the attractive shape of the peach that could still be clearly seen even though it was wrapped in loose purple hakama.
Tianzhangyuan walked away slowly, leaving behind his half-joking and half-serious words:
"It seems that I'm afraid I won't be able to extract information from those scum of society for a while. Sheng Qing, take this moment to take a good rest. You haven't had a good rest in the past few days. Have you had a rest? There is obvious tiredness on your brows."
Qingdeng stared blankly at Tianzhang Yuan's retreating figure.
After a while, he showed a helpless smile and sighed in his heart:
Sure enough... every time I get along with His Highness Tianzhangyuan, I always feel like my rank is being suppressed...
…
…
Just as Tianzhangyuan said just now, Qingdeng really hasn't had a good rest recently.
Relying on the two abnormal talents of "God of Sleep" and "God Brain +9", Qingdeng's total sleep time in the past few days may be less than 10 hours.
Although my head is still clear right now, the muscles in my body are already feeling a little tired.
After all, he played all night last night!
Kicked the Shimizu clan 13 times in a row, and completed the achievement of killing a hundred people... The last person to achieve an exaggerated feat similar to this was the "Eternal Sword Master" Ogata Ittosai 70 years ago.
For an ordinary person who has never practiced martial arts, just swiping a real sword a hundred times would be enough to make him panting from exhaustion, let alone killing hundreds of people.
Therefore, even though Qingdeng has the blessings of talents such as "Strengthening Muscles +2" and "Iron Lung +2", he still feels inadequate.
It might as well take a rest... With this thought in mind, Aoto quickly walked out of Tsukinomiya Shrine without stopping, and then ran straight to the place where Sanako and Souji were currently hiding - a hotel in the next town.
Because the true identity of "Yu Du Miko" and the existence of the new Imperial Palace are top secrets that must not be leaked, it is naturally impossible for Ayoto to bring Sanako and Souji into the Tsukinomiya Shrine.
Qingto arranged the two girls to stay in a hotel not far from Yuegong Shrine.
Sanako Bingxue was smart. When she saw Qingden being so mysterious, she immediately realized something and pretended to know nothing.
Although Souji's brain is not very bright, her emotional intelligence is always online.
Therefore, the two girls didn't say anything and obediently accepted Qingdeng's arrangement.
After Qingdeng returned to the hotel, he climbed the stairs with ease and came to the room where the two girls lived.
When he pushed open the paper sliding door, the beautiful faces of the two women came into view.
Before Qingden could say hello to the two girls, the commander-in-chief jumped up from the soft tatami like a spring.
"Tangerine-kun! Something bad has happened!"
At the same time, Sanako also stood up.
Although her expression was not as anxious as Souji's, it was still very heavy.
When Qingdeng saw this, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"What's wrong?"
The director-general said quickly:
"It's too troublesome to explain. Just come with us, ah! Remember to wear a hat to cover your face!"
…
…
Edo, Dounan Town 3-chome—to the common people of Edo, this is definitely a string of place names that make people laugh.
Because this place is the home of the Qingshui clan!
The so-called "home" can be understood as the headquarters and base camp.
The headquarter of the Qingshui clan is a group of quite impressive buildings.
The houses inside are all very colorful, all following the Momoyama style. Each one is more luxurious than the last. Even the roofs are painted with gold paint, lions are carved on the eaves, and stone statues of tigers stand on both sides of the gate.
People who don't know this might think this is a daimyo's jinya.
[Note·Momoyama: Azuchi Momoyama period, also known as the Oriho period (1573-1603). The era when Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi dominated Japan. It is named after Azuchi Castle, the headquarters of Oda Nobunaga, and Momoyama Castle (also known as "Fushimi Castle"), the headquarters of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. It lasted 30 years. 】
The mansion located in the center of this luxurious building complex is here...or rather, it is the tallest mansion in Dounan Town and all nearby towns, with a total of 6 floors - and this tallest building is also the headquarter of the Qingmizu clan. The "main formation".
Because of its unusual height, the people of Edo often called this tall building, which symbolized the dominance and authority of the Kiyomizu clan, "Kiyomizu Tower."
When Qingden followed the two girls to the outskirts of the Qingshui clan's main house, he was surprised to find that a large number of people had gathered here.

This book is a low-level view of the world. As we all know, in the world of low martial arts, as long as the head is still on the neck, even with a big hole in the stomach, one can survive. In the world of low martial arts, preserving the integrity of the limbs trumps everything else. As long as the limbs are intact, even if the entire upper body is cut open by a blow, the cassock can still fight.
Today is another day of failure, damn it! (Crying leopard head.jpg)
ps: It is impossible for Yakuza to live in such an exaggerated mansion in real life, so hereby inform you.
