This means that the other party no longer minds killing...

Worried that Shimizu Gosaku would be killed by Aoto if he rushed forward so recklessly, his subordinates quickly grabbed Shimizu Gosaku to death.

"Let go! Let me go! Boy! Tell me your name!"

Shimizu Gosaku shouted, swinging his arms in an extremely exaggerated manner, shaking his head, and his red bloodshot eyes flashed with a violent and ferocious light like a long-hungry carnivorous beast.

Speechless and hysterical.

"How dare you throw me to the ground! I tell you, you are dead!"

"I am the nephew of the leader of the 'Qingshui Clan'! Just wait! I'm going to call someone now! Let my men come and take care of you!"

Shimizugo's remarks immediately changed the atmosphere at the scene.

Otsuki Minoru and his party are now in a state of sharing weal and woe with Ayoto who rescued them.

They unconsciously glanced back and forth at Ayoto and Shimizu Gosaku with horrified eyes.

Yes, what's the use of fighting Qingden? He is the nephew of the "Qingshui Clan", and his back is against a towering tree. What if he really calls a lot of helpers?

Qingden can hit 5 with one... but can he still hit 15 with 1?

The surrounding crowd of onlookers were also talking about it at this time.

"Hey, is this guy really Eiichi Shimizu's nephew?"

"It's true... I once had a chance encounter with Eiichi Shimizu's nephew... This person is really Eiichi Shimizu's nephew: Gosaku Shimizu."

"Tsk... If that's the case, it's terrible for that samurai... He actually offended someone from the 'Shimizu Clan'... Unless he escapes Edo, there will never be peace from now on."

"Sigh... I don't know if I can see the demise of the 'Qingshui Clan' in my lifetime..."

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... You can't say such things in public... If people hear it, it will be troublesome..."

A large number of onlookers lamented Qingdeng's future fate... However, some people also made such "disharmonious sounds":

"Hey, do you think that warrior looks familiar?"

"Well, I also feel... I seem to have seen him somewhere..."

…

Otsuki Minoru and others, as well as the onlookers, were all worried about the safety of Aoto who had provoked the "Shimizu Clan"... But Aoto, as the person involved, was quite calm.

"...'Qingshui Clan'?"

Qingden raised his eyebrows slightly, and his expression became weird at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This person turned out to be from the "Qingshui Clan"... This really surprised Qingden.

"Surprised" in various aspects...

Looking at Qingteng's expression, he thought Qingteng was scared. After taking a few deep breaths, he raised his head high and shouted in a more wild and unscrupulous tone:

"Iijiro! Go back to our old camp of the Qingshui Clan and call for people! Call me as many people as you can..."

"enough!"

Like thunder on the ground... A loud shout came from the crowd behind Shimizu Gosaku, interrupting Shimizu Gosaku's arrogant words.

This sudden shout had a rather old tone... the speaker should be a middle-aged man.

Ayoto didn't recognize the voice, but Gosaku Shimizu seemed to know the owner of the voice.

Because the moment after this loud shout fell, Shimizu Gosaku's expression suddenly stopped.

Immediately afterwards, his eyes filled with fierce light slowly returned to clarity as if they had been washed by clean water.

Then, traces of fear appeared in his eyes and cheeks...

Everyone at the scene turned their attention to the direction from which the middle-aged male voice came - they saw a middle-aged man with his hands behind his back and a low-rimmed bamboo hat on his head, leading a young man slowly.

As they walked toward Qingdeng and the others, all the onlookers who were in front of them moved aside to create a spacious one-way street.

Qingteng did not recognize this middle-aged man wearing a bamboo hat. But Qingteng knew that young man - it was the Sasaki he had just met.

Sasaki noticed Aoden's gaze, smiled, and nodded to Aoto.

The middle-aged man who had become the focus of the audience because of the loud shout just now, walked steadily and stood next to Shimizu Gosaku without being affected by the surrounding sight.

A weird situation happened at this moment.

Shimizu Gosaku, who was so arrogant just now and was hysterical like a madman, suddenly shrank up slightly like a mouse after encountering a cat after the middle-aged man appeared... His face was full of fear.

"Uncle...uncle..."

As soon as Qingshuigo said this, the scene suddenly went into an uproar... Even Qingteng couldn't help but look surprised.

Being called "uncle" by Shimizugo... many people muttered in their hearts, "No way..."

…

…

After Shimizu Eiichi learned from Sasaki that his nephew was drinking nearby and was in a drunken state, he stood up expressionlessly and ordered Sasaki:

"... Sasaki, help me find a boat painting job... put it off for now. Now you can follow me to find my troubled nephew."

Whether it was when he was giving orders to Sasaki or when he was setting off to look for Shimizu Gosaku, Shimizu Eiichi had no expression on his face the whole time...it was difficult to guess what he was thinking.

For Sasaki, the task of "finding someone nearby" is too simple.

He mobilized all his subordinates and asked them all to go out and look for traces of Shimizu Gosaku.

After a while, someone reported that I saw Gosaku Shimizu fighting with someone in XXX.

Eiichi Shimizu led Sasaki to the reporting location, and then he saw his nephew who was uttering arrogant words to Qing Teng...

At that moment, Eiichi Shimizu, who had always been indifferent to emotions and anger, his pupils shrank slightly.

At this moment, the middle-aged man...that is, the leader of the "Qingshui Clan": Eiichi Qingshui, looked at Qingshuigo expressionlessly.

Snapped!

Then with lightning speed, he slapped Gosaku Shimizu on the right cheek!

Eiichi Shimizu used great force.

Shimizu Gosaku was slapped and moved three full steps to the left before falling heavily to the ground.

Being slapped in public... Gosaku Shimizu didn't show any resentment or anger.

He collapsed on the ground, covering the area where he was slapped, and his head was lowered. Not only was he dissatisfied with Qing Shuirong for slapping him, he didn't even dare to raise his head to look at Qing Shuirong.

"You bastard..."

Qingshui Eiichi said calmly.

"I've warned you countless times, don't cause trouble for me outside."

"..."

"What happened to you tonight? Why did you ignore my warning again?"

"..."

"I really don't know how to punish you... It's just a matter of causing trouble, but you actually disturbed His Majesty Niou."

"……Eh?"

Shimizu Gosaku, who had been burying his head low and saying nothing, finally made a sound.

He slowly raised his head and stared at Eiichi Shimizu with astonished eyes.

In an instant, the surroundings that were still slightly noisy fell silent.

The faces of the spectators gathered here were full of surprise and excitement.

The faces of Shimizu Gosaku and his subordinates changed color.

The faces of Otsuki Minoru, Tsuneji and others also changed immediately, and their expressions were dominated by strong horror.

All these changes... were only because they all clearly heard the title that just came from Eiichi Shimizu's mouth - Nioh!

"Nioh..." Otsuki Minoru repeatedly murmured this majestic title for the samurai who was said to have suppressed the "radical anti-Japanese warriors" in Edo with his superior strength.

——Is he...Eiichi Shimizu...

Ayoto lowered his eyelids slightly and carefully looked at Eiichi Shimizu's face.

This was his first meeting with the leader of the "Qingshui Clan".

The first impression Qingmizu Eiichi gave to Qingto... was ordinary.

His facial features are ordinary, nothing is ugly, but he also lacks eye-catching elements, so he can only be classified as ordinary.

If it weren't for the large and conspicuous burn mark on his left cheek, Eiichi Shimizu would be one of those ordinary beings who would be instantly buried if he was mixed in with the crowd.

The height is also average... According to Qingnobo's visual inspection, Shimizu Eiichi is less than 1.6 meters tall, at most 1.57 meters and 1.58 meters tall.

Also quite ordinary was his figure, neither strong nor thin.

In a word - if you were to identify him solely by his appearance, you would never recognize him as the leader of the "Edo No. 1 Yakuza Group".
