Chiba Jutaro, who came with Sanako, turned into the most dedicated and skilled bodyguard.

He took a big step forward and protected Sanako's back to prevent others from harassing Sanako.

In addition, his right hand was always pressing the sword on his left waist, and the sheath was opened.

Looking at Chiba Jutaro's fierce look of "ready to kill at any time", those who coveted Sanako's beauty were all frightened, and they only dared to watch from a distance and did not dare to play with it.

In this way, under the careful care of his brother, Sanako was able to watch the selection ceremony of the Zhenfu Army without being disturbed.

She noticed: No matter who they were, whether they were civilians or warriors; whether they were calm and composed, or whether their hands and feet were trembling with nervousness, everyone who climbed onto the high platform would have a glimmer of self-satisfaction in their eyes.

Gradually, a look as if she was thinking about something appeared on her cheeks.

What a coincidence - a similar scene also occurred on the other side of the venue.

"..."

Isamu Kondo pursed his lips thoughtfully while looking at the high platform.

…

…

It's night——

Edo, somewhere——

"Moo moo~~"

A man and an ox rode on the moonlight and galloped on the way back to the Trial Guard Hall.

"ha……"

Qingden half-slumped on Carrot's back, "ha" turning his exhaustion into a voice.

According to his rough estimate, he fought at least more than 400 people today - this was the first time he had fought for such a long time since time traveling.

After more than ten hours, except for the time to eat and go to the toilet, Qingden was repeatedly waving his bamboo sword and constantly announcing "You are qualified" or "You are not qualified."

If there were Guinness World Records that could be applied for now, then Qingdeng felt that he could apply for the world record of "highest number of consecutive battles".

Without the support of talents such as "Strong Muscle +2" and "Yuan Yang +1", his body would have been overwhelmed by such a high intensity of exercise.

However, even though most of the more than 400 people were vulnerable, Qingdeng still felt that his body was a little overwhelmed after fighting hundreds of battles.

His legs and the right arm holding the sword kept feeling sore and swollen.

It seems that I need to sleep for at least 3 hours tonight to recover from fatigue.

Fortunately, Qingdeng possesses two major "logistics talents" - "Sleeping God" and "Strong Essence +2".

No matter how tired you are, no matter how sleepy you are, as long as you have a good night's sleep, you will be able to recover to the fullest.

Today, many applicants did not participate because they thought they were not strong enough and felt that they would never be selected. This made Qingden feel very regretful.

Maybe among these people who escaped from battle, one of them was a person with extraordinary talents.

But, then again - although Qingden had long expected that the chances of finding gold in the sand would not be high, the final result still surprised him.

There were more than 400 people, but only about 30 people could pass the test that met their wishes.

Not even a one to ten pass rate.

There are even fewer talents available.

At the end of the whole day, the number of new talents copied plus the old talents upgraded was just over 10.

And the strength of those who passed was not that great.

The reason why they can pass the assessment is simply because they are more like that than others.

Among them, there are only two people who can really make Qingdeng feel bright.

One of them is the Serizawa duck.

The second was a Mito Domain swordsman named Shinami Nishiki.

Like Serizawa Kamo, this person is also a master of Shinto Muken-ryu.

Qingdeng copied from him a "minor swordsman" whose "swordsmanship talent is five times that of ordinary people."

However...the "Sword Master" can no longer be integrated with Qingdeng's "Sword Saint".

Now only swordsmanship talents of "Sword Master" and above can further upgrade Qingden's "Sword Saint".

In addition to his excellent swordsmanship, Nishiki Shinami also has rich practical experience - he must have drank a lot of blood with the sword on his waist.

In terms of strength alone, he is the second strongest person among the many applicants today, second only to Kamo Serizawa.

It was only later that Aonto learned that Niimi Nishiki and Serizawa Kamo had a close relationship, and the two were close companions.

This made Qingden firmly remember Nimi Nishiki's name.

Since he is the prickly friend of Serizawa Duck, it is necessary to pay more attention to him.

——Sigh... There are still too few outstanding talents... With the current quality of the troops, it will be difficult to quickly form combat effectiveness in the troops in a short period of time...

Just as Qingdeng was worryingly thinking about the future of the Zhenfu Army, Luobo suddenly let out a happy cry.

"Moo moo moo~~moo moo~~"

Then, he slowly slowed down his hooves.

"Carrot, what's wrong...huh?"

As soon as he asked this question, Qingdeng found the reason for the sudden abnormality in the carrot.

I saw a beautiful figure standing on the street in front of me.

Aqua blue kimono, tender green belt, blue button clogs, southern hemispheres piled on the belt, elegant and generous manners, a charming face, the moonlight shines on her porcelain-like skin, reflecting a dazzling but soft

blue-white light.

There is probably only one woman in all of Edo who meets all the above conditions.

"Jijun, you are finally here."

With a smile on her face, Sanako stepped forward and moved from the side of the street to the middle of the road.

"Sanako?"

"Moo moo~~"

Carrot held up his head high, ran to Sanako's side, and then gently nudged her waist with his head.

"Be good, be good."

The smile on Sanako's face became softer and softer, and she stretched out her hand to caress Carrot's head.

Radish seemed to take great advantage of Sanako's touch.

While it was meowing "moo moo", it lowered its head so that Sanako could stroke it more easily.

Qingdeng saw this and scolded angrily:

"Carrot, don't scream! You will disturb the neighbors!"

"Moo..."

Carrot turned his head and cast an aggrieved look at his suddenly fierce owner.

The reason why Qingdeng scolded the carrot was out of rational considerations, as he was worried that its bark would disturb the people - definitely not because he was jealous of the big black cow who could justly use his head to support Nazi's waist!

Sanako's waist...even he hasn't touched it yet!

Sanako, who received higher education at a young age and grew up to be a model-level Yamato Nadeshiko, is very conservative in style and thinking, even more conservative than Kinoshita Mai.

Although Kinoshita Mai has always adhered to the bottom line of "that kind of thing should be left until after marriage", as long as Aonto said something nice and used some tough measures, the soft-eared Mai Kinoshita would still give in half-heartedly.

Qingdeng was allowed to touch this and that, and accompany Qingdeng to engage in extreme behaviors such as sex, sex, and sex.

Sanako is different.

To put it simply, she has one attitude towards things between men and women - no!

Not to mention **, ** and **, Sanako didn't even allow Qingto to touch her.

Strange to say, the two of them had a relationship that "had kissed passionately in public on the street" a long time ago, but so far, the man has not even touched the woman's waist, bear, or peach.

Sanako is not as easy to talk to as Kinoshita Mai.

She won't get distracted by a few sweet words or a little tough tactics.

If Aoden dares to act recklessly, Sanako, who has a strong personality, may really disregard the past friendship between the two and break off with Aoto - emotionally and physically.

However, it would be wrong to say that Sanako does not provide any "benefits" to Qingto.

She allowed Qingdeng to hug her and hug her.

However, Qingdeng was allowed to be intimate with her only when no outsiders were present.

Otherwise, she will strictly require Qingdeng to keep his distance from her.

"Ji Jun, don't be so fierce, you scared the carrot."
