After the Battle of Kiyomizu-tei, Aomori left the battlefield alone. After reuniting with Sanako and others, he was immediately sent to the most famous medical clinic in Edo: Jinyikan.
Qingdeng's own social status made the doctors at Ren Medical Center dare not ignore him.
As a result, the owner of Ren Medical Center, Beifang Ren, a young and promising doctor with knowledge of both Chinese and foreign languages, personally performed Qingdeng's treatment.
Qingdeng and Beifangren were destined to be together.
At the beginning, after severely damaging the anti-barbarian group and killing Shenye, Qingden was also sent to Ren Medical Hall for treatment. His attending doctor at that time was also Beifang Ren.
In this way, Aoden, who had been braving the wind and rain since he was framed and imprisoned in the Kodenma Town Prison House, finally returned to a stable, peaceful and quiet daily life.
In this tranquility, time passes bit by bit...
…
…
More than 1 month later.
The first year of Wenjiu (1861), March 12——
Edo, Jin Medical Hall——
"Open your mouth, ah ah ah~~"
Qingden obediently opened his mouth wide, exposing his teeth, tongue and throat.
Bei Ren sat up straight, holding Qingdeng's chin with one hand and his right wrist with the other hand. He looked closely at his mouth and took his pulse.
"Doctor, how are you? How is Mr. Tachibana's health?"
Harada Sanosuke, who was on the side, leaned over and asked impatiently.
A bunch of nervous or indifferent eyes fell on Bei Ren.
The other party pondered for a moment, then grinned.
"Mr. Tachibana's body has recovered very well, and it's so good that I find it incredible."
"External injuries, internal injuries, all recovering well."
"Judging from the color of his face, lips, and tongue, the qi and blood in his body have returned to healthy levels."
"There are no problems with eating or excretion."
"If nothing else happens, Mr. Tachibana will be discharged from the hospital in a few days."
When everyone present heard this, they all showed expressions of relief.
At this time, Bei Ren looked restless.
Qingdeng noticed Bei Ren's strange behavior and asked:
"Mr. Beifang, what's wrong?"
"Uh, no, it's nothing."
Bei Ren looked like hesitating and hesitated to speak.
In the end, he couldn't restrain his inner desire and couldn't help but said:
"Mr. Tachibana, your physical fitness... is really amazing!"
"Obviously, when you were first brought here more than a month ago, your injuries were so serious that I, who was used to seeing bloody scenes, couldn't help but be shocked."
"Not only was his body covered with bruises, but he also lost an astonishing amount of blood. Only 70% of the blood was left in his body."
"Logically speaking, if the blood loss exceeds 2, it will cause shock...ah, that is, it will cause people to faint. If the blood loss exceeds 3, it will be life-threatening."
"To be honest, I came to treat you with the mentality of 'failure or failure'."
"But the result...I was shocked as soon as the treatment process started."
"Your bones, internal organs, and skin are all very strong! Far stronger than ordinary people!"
"A normal person would have been stabbed so many times. Even if he didn't die suddenly on the spot, his bones would be broken and his internal organs would be damaged."
"However, because your body is different from ordinary people, most of the injuries you endure are just cuts to the skin and broken bones. There are very few attacks that actually damage the internal organs."
"Besides that, your body is very tolerant of 'blood loss'."
"You have obviously lost more than 30% of your blood. Ordinary people would lose consciousness long ago when encountering such a situation, but you were still awake on the day you were sent to the hospital for treatment, and your breathing and heartbeat were still stable."
"In the end, in less than two months, you have basically recovered."
"Such a great physical fitness is really amazing."
"So...Mr. Tachibana, I have a heartfelt request!"
Bei Ren paused for a moment, then changed into an excited tone.
"Mr. Tachibana, can you give me some blood? I just need a small tube of your blood!"
"I just purchased a microscope a while ago that can be used for scientific research. I want to use blood as the medium to study your physique! Find out why your body is so strong."
When Qingdeng heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Facing Bei Ren's fiery gaze, he smiled helplessly after being stunned for a moment.
"Sorry, Mr. Beifang, please forgive me for refusing."
As soon as Qingdeng finished speaking, Bei Ren's eyebrows immediately flashed with regret.
However, he quickly adjusted his mood.
"It's okay, Mr. Tachibana, you don't have to apologize! I went too far. Please forget about my rude request just now!"
Qingdeng refused very readily... This was not because he was unkind.
He was just worried that his physical fitness would scare Bei Ren... or rather scare the current biological world.
This year is the first year of Wenjiu, which when converted into AD is 1861, the middle of the 19th century.
The current European and American countries have already entered advanced industrial civilization.
With the development of civilization, science and technology have also made great progress.
In 1590, Janssen of the Netherlands invented the optical microscope. From then on, biological science began to flourish.
In 1859, 2 years ago, Darwin published his famous "On the Origin of Species".
Mendel, the well-known "Father of Genetics", also started tinkering with some fucking peas at this time, preparing to give the Church, Darwin, and other current biologists a little pea shock.
Therefore, the "scientific research work" and "study of Qingdeng's physique" mentioned by Bei Ren are really not empty talk.
With Bei Ren's talent and learning, he might really be able to tinker and discover something.
Qingdeng's current physical fitness is indeed very good.
It is so good that it should not be measured by "human" standards, but mighty animals such as seals, bears, tigers, and elephants should be used as reference objects when evaluating Qingdeng's physical fitness.
"Steel Bone +2" that enhances bone toughness.
"Shenjiao" that strengthens the strength of internal organs.
"Body softness" that strengthens skin's toughness and elasticity.
These three talents greatly improved Qingdeng's physical defense.
Ordinary people who have never learned martial arts may not be able to injure Qingdeng if they don't exert a little force.
In addition, Qingdeng's recovery ability and continuous combat ability are also staggeringly high.
"Physique +2" that increases the speed of recovery from injuries.
The "god of sleep" that enhances sleep quality.
A "stomach-strengthening" product that enhances digestion and nutrient absorption.
"Strong Essence +1" that increases energy and physical strength recovery speed.
Enhance kidney function and kidney qi, and feed back the "Yang +1" of physical fitness.
"Blood Locking + 7" strengthens blood vitality and hematopoietic function, activates red blood cell metabolism, increases hemoglobin oxygen saturation, enhances the use of oxygen and ATP by body tissues, activates the body's immune system, and enhances bacteriophage ability.
As for the scars left after the wound heals, this is probably one of the effects of "Fitness +2", which improves the recovery speed of the injury, and the growth of the wound also becomes particularly gratifying.
It is no exaggeration to say that with the above-mentioned talents, most diseases in this world have been far away from Qingdeng.
If Bei Ren discovered that Qingdeng's body was so abnormal, he might be so frightened that he would fall off his chair.
…
…
After Bei Ren checked Qingdeng's body for a while, he left the ward and went to do other work.
Qingden stretched hard - the daily routine physical examination was finally over, and he could finally have a good talk with his friends who came to visit him.
Today, Qingdeng's ward is extremely lively.
Kondo Shusuke, Abi (Shusuke's wife), Isamu Kondo, Tsunemu (Isamu's wife), Hijikata Toshizo, Okita Souji, Inoue Genzaburo, Nagakura Shinpachi, Saito Kazuo, Harada Sanosuke... Trial Guard Everyone in the hotel who is familiar with Qingdeng came to visit him today.
In addition, Aoden's old friend Shannan Keisuke and his old subordinate Toudo Heisuke also came.
The "VIP single room", which was originally quite spacious, became full due to the arrival of everyone.
Isamu Kondo approached Aoto's hospital bed with a smile on his face:
"Tachibana-kun, that's great! You can go home in a few days!"
"Oh, yes."
Qingden let out a sigh of relief and said half-jokingly.
"I can finally go home. I've had enough of this boring life of doing nothing and just lying in bed and staring at the ceiling every day."
At this time, Harada Sanosuke came over, with his hands on his hips and his face showing dissatisfaction.
"Mr. Tachibana, you are not a friend enough! Why didn't you tell us before you went on a mission? You made us so worried. We were looking for you everywhere, and we almost turned the entire Edo upside down!"
As soon as Harada Sanosuke finished speaking, Nagakura Shinpachi on the side said angrily:
"Idiot, you didn't read the announcement from the shogunate? Mr. Tachibana is carrying out a top-secret mission that must not leak any information! How could he inform us outsiders in advance before completing the mission?"
Hijikata Toshizo interjected:
"Don't shout so loud! This is a medical center! If you shout so loud, you will disturb other patients!"
Genzaburo Inoue whispered:
"Obviously you are the loudest..."
Saitoichi silently handed Aoto an orange.
"Orange, do you want to eat the oranges you just bought?"
Looking at his noisy companions, Qingdeng's face slowly showed an expression of relief.
"Everyone, I'm sorry."
Qingden casually took the orange from Saito, and the "pleasure" in his expression changed to "apology".
"Although I was involuntarily, it is an indisputable fact that I 'disappeared' for no reason. I'm sorry for making you worry."
Qingdeng's sudden apology caused the ward to fall silent.
"Hoohoho~~"
Assistant Zhou touched his bare chin with one hand and reached out with the other hand to pat Qingdeng's shoulder.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. As long as you can come back safely, that's more important than anything else."
Todo Heisuke nodded vigorously:
"Yes, Mr. Tachibana, you don't have to apologize, we understand your difficulties."
Others also spoke up at this time, saying things like "Toudou is right", "Tachibana-kun, it doesn't have to be like this" and the like.
Perhaps in order to ease the slightly reserved atmosphere at this time, Shannan Keisuke, who had been silent since just now, suddenly smiled and said:
"Speaking of which, Mr. Ju, you have been recuperating in the hospital recently and have no time to go out, so you probably don't know much about the current situation in the outside world, right?"
Having said this, Shannan Keisuke paused for a moment, and after putting on an expression full of emotion, he continued:
"In ancient times, there was a saying that 'wherever there is well water, people can sing Liu Ci', and now there is a saying 'wherever there is smoke from cooking stoves, people can sing the name of the benevolent king'. From now on, the name of Juqingden will be forever engraved in the history of Sanqianqing. "
Kondo Isamu took over with a wry smile:
"The threshold of our trial defense hall has been almost crossed recently... There are people who want to come to express condolences to you, people who want to have a glimpse of Nioh, people who want to express their gratitude to you in person, there are all kinds of people. "
Just like talking about cross talk, Kondo Isamu here just finished "singing", and Hijikata Toshizo over there said "harmony":
"The common people of Edo really worship you as a hero now."
"What's more, some people regard you as a god and think that you are really the 'incarnation of the benevolent king' who came down to earth specifically to save the world."
"Well, although it sounds quite exaggerated, there is nothing wrong with giving you majestic titles such as 'hero' and 'god' based on your achievements."
Listening to Shannan Keisuke, Kondo Isamu, and Hijikata Toshizo talking to each other, Aoden couldn't help but laugh.
For a moment, he didn't know what expression to put on.
Although he can't go out recently, he still has some knowledge about the rumors and current events from the outside world.
The Qingshui clan, who made their fortune with swords and blood, and have been grabbing illegal profits for a long time, are a great danger to everyone.
For a long time, countless innocent people have suffered from it.
That night, Qingdeng seemed to have just destroyed Qingshui Residence and killed a group of people.
The Qingshui clan, which has been operating in Kanto for many years, still has branches and strongholds in many places, and there are many cadre-level figures who luckily escaped Qingto's blade.
However, anyone with a little bit of intelligence understands that the Qingshui clan is finished!
The "angel investor" Rakshasa died, the leader Eiichi Shimizu died, and most of the senior staff and the most elite thugs were also killed or injured... These people are the foundation of the Shimizu clan.
The foundations have been dug away, and no matter how tall or thick the trees are, they will only rot and collapse!
The Qingshui clan, whose vitality has been severely damaged, will not be able to make any big waves in the future even if they are not annexed by other Yakuza organizations in the bloody battle of "black eating black".
The decline of the Qingshui clan is really satisfying!
When the men, women, and children in Edo learned that the Shimizu Residence had been destroyed and that all the traitors led by Shimizu Eiichi had been killed, they all applauded! They naturally have great respect for Qingden who destroyed the Qingshui clan... and accomplished this feat by himself!
There is absolutely no falsehood in what Shannan and others have just described.
For more than a month, wherever there is smoke from cooking stoves inside and outside Edo, you can definitely hear people discussing and praising Aoteno!
I dare not say it in other places, but at least in today's Edo, Aoden has become a belief-like existence.
It's just that... in this overwhelming praise, there are also some discordant notes.
No matter how you say it, "Qingdeng killed many people" is an unavoidable problem.
There has to be a reason to kill, right?
The anti-barbarian group is a terrorist organization designated by the shogunate, so there is no reason to kill them.
But this is not the case for the Qingshui clan.
Although everyone knows that the Qingshui clan is the evil Yakuza Group, from a legal perspective, the Qingshui clan is a reasonable and legal business organization.
If there is no evidence that can be used to explain "why Qingdeng can go on a killing spree", then from a legal perspective, Qingdeng is just a murderer who has killed countless people.
Regarding how to "whitewash" Aonto... Tokugawa Iemo and Tenzouin tried their best!
So, after a lot of brainstorming, the mother and son made up a story like this——
The shogunate collected information that the Shimizu clan was engaged in dangerous activities, and decided to send talented and trustworthy Nōchen to investigate.
The reason Aoto was arrested and imprisoned in Kodenma Town Prison was because he was framed by a villain.
And the people who framed him were the traitors of the Qingshui clan. (This is indeed true. It was indeed Konosuke Kitahara, a cadre of the Shimizu clan, who took the lead in Aoto’s imprisonment.)
The fire in the Kodenma Town prison house and the massacre of the Akai family were also caused by the traitors of the Shimizu clan.
They hate Qingdeng, who has great military exploits, and want to use this to get rid of Qingdeng and ruin his reputation.
Fortunately, Qingdeng has great magical powers, and even though the sea of fire is fierce, he can still walk on flat ground.
After escaping from the fire, he met an agent of the shogunate.
The specific details will not be stated. In short, Qingteng resolutely accepted this top-secret mission with the highest goal of "destroying the Qingshui clan"!
In other words, Aoto's "disappearance" some time ago was actually running around incognito, carrying out tasks entrusted by the shogunate.
After a period of lurking and investigating, Qingdeng finally collected irrefutable evidence that proved that the Qingshui clan had committed serious crimes.
Then, he immediately launched an extermination operation.
In order to minimize his own losses, he boldly chose to act alone and attacked Qingshui Residence single-handedly.
The above is the story compiled by Tokugawa Iemo and Tenzouin.
Although many of the details of this half-truth are murky, the logic is generally clear and reasonable.
In this way, Tokugawa Iemo and Tenzouin relied on this made-up story and their tens of millions of money and power capabilities to clear Qingdeng.

Everyone can look forward to what kind of official position Qingdeng will be promoted and how much salary he will receive this time~~Volume 2 is finally coming to an end! The third volume of the series "Yun Qi Long Xiang" is finally about to start! It's hot! The "Edo Chapter" ends here, and the "Kyoto Chapter" begins with the formation of the Shinsengumi in Kyoto!
PS: Originally Rakshasa’s talent was “Block Blood” and had no number. But after listening to readers’ opinions, I also found that Rakshasa’s talent seemed to have no cards without a number, so I changed it to the current “blood lock +7”.
