I have to say that Kinoshita Mai is quite good at teaching others.

Under her careful guidance, the members of Division 9 have grown at an impressive rate.

If everything goes well, it will only take about one year for Qingto to see a formally formed ninja army!

It is worth mentioning that because she became a teacher and had to interact with people for a long time every day, Kinoshita Mai's temperament, even though she was afraid of getting sick, has improved a lot.

It seems that it won't be long before Kinoshita Mai will be able to completely get rid of the labels of "fear of strangers" and "gloomy girl".

Although the size of the Shinsengumi has increased, there are still many internal problems that need to be resolved one by one.

The work Qingdeng has to deal with next is still heavy.

The road to a strong army is long and difficult!

…

…

After Qingteng returned to the capital, no big news happened in either the Eastern Kingdom or the Western Kingdom, whether it was the Samu sect or the King Zun sect.

It was peaceful... so peaceful that it felt abnormal.

However, a small thing did happen - it was a small thing to others, but it was a big thing to Qingdeng!

To put it simply - Qingden underestimated the impact of the talent "Elephant's Core" after reaching the highest level.

Therefore... incurred the displeasure of the General Director.

In recent days, the General Secretary has been avoiding Qingteng.

When others saw this, they probably thought Qingto and Souji had a quarrel.

In fact, this is not the case.

The cause of this incident must start when Qingden first returned to Beijing.

As soon as he returned to Kyoto, Ayoto, who "missed" Souji very much, took advantage of the darkness and happily sneaked into her room.

The next day, Souji's complexion became very pale, and his legs would shake uncontrollably when he walked...

It was also from this day on that when the General Secretary saw Qingden, he would subconsciously tighten his neck, like a mouse meeting a cat, and then turn around hurriedly and take a detour to avoid Qingden.

The General Secretary's ignorance and retreat made Qingden want to cry without tears.

Fortunately, Souji is a soft-eared girl who is easy to talk to.

Qingdeng tried his best to coax him back to the headquarters.

However... on the second day after the two "reconciled", Souji turned pale again, staggered on his feet, and then ignored and avoided Qingden again.

This is the first time Qingdeng hates a certain talent so much...

…

…

Wenjiu three years (1863), July 15th, night——

Kyoto, Mibu Township, Shinsengumi camp, Qinghe Hachiro's room——

Before Hachiro Kiyokawa committed suicide, he concentrated on reading Mito Blood's classic "History of Japan".

Suddenly, someone's voice came from outside the door:

"Mr. Qinghe, it's me."

Qinghe Hachilang responded without raising his head:

"Come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a big man push open the door and rush to Qinghe Balang's side. He knelt down on one knee, put his lips close to his ear, and whispered for a while.

For a moment, Qinghe Hachiro's pupils suddenly shrank, and his cheeks were full of surprise.

"Sugiura, is this serious?"

The big man... Sugiura nodded vigorously.

"'Over there' said: See you at Omiya in Ushishou Town at nine o'clock tonight (12 o'clock in the evening)."

"..."

Qinghe Hachiro lowered his eyelids, said nothing, and thought to himself.

…

…

It's night, nine o'clock in the evening——

Shinsengumi settlement, somewhere——

Rustling, rustling... A sneaky figure cautiously walked through the dense bushes.

It is Qinghe Hachiro!

He used the cover of the bushes to move to the wall inch by inch.

Then, he looked around, not missing any corner.

After confirming that no one was following him, he jumped up like a green onion, reached out to grab the edge of the wall, then flipped up like origami, climbed over the wall, and escaped from the camp neatly.

As soon as his feet landed on the ground, he held on to the saber on his waist and hurried towards the alley not far away, heading towards Ushishou Town.

About twenty minutes later, he successfully arrived in Ushishou Town, and then found an izakaya called "Omiya".

He walked forward and knocked on the shop door.

A deep voice sounded immediately from behind the door:

"When will the curtain fall?"

Qinghe Hachiro immediately replied:

"Soon, soon, soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old shop door creaked slowly open, revealing a gap big enough for an adult to sneak in.

Qinghe Hachiro held the untied saber in his right hand and walked in without thinking.

The shop door was closed tightly again.

The store is very dark.

As soon as he entered the door, Qinghe Hachiro felt the sharp sight of a knife - several mighty warriors standing in the darkness, staring directly at him.

Qinghe Hachiro glanced at these warriors roughly, then fixed his gaze and looked at the table directly in front of him.

There is an oil lamp on the table in front of him - this is the only source of light here - and opposite the table, there is a handsome young man sitting.

The slightly swaying flame of the oil lamp illuminated the young man's face in flickering light.

The young man smiled, slowly raised his gaze, and met Qinghe Hachiro's eyes.

"Qinghe-kun, this is the first time we meet. I am the leader of the Tosa King's Party - Takeshi Hanheita."

Saying that, Wu Shi Hanping made a "please sit down" gesture.

Qinghe Hachiro sat down and nodded in greeting neither humble nor overbearing:

"I'm Qinghe Hachiro, Mr. Wu Shi. I've long admired your name."

The two sat facing each other.

After both of them made a brief self-introduction, Wu Shi Banping Taishu raised his voice and said seriously:

"Mr. Qinghe, time is of the essence. Please forgive me for getting straight to the point."

“I am very interested in your plan to ‘subvert the Shinsengumi from within’.”

"The existence of the Shinsengumi is a major obstacle to the realization of the great cause of respecting the people."

"Therefore, our Tosa Kinnobu Party is bound to become the enemy of the Shinsengumi."

"To be honest, I have been making plans to 'annihilate the Shinsengumi' since a long time ago."

"I feel so relieved to know that there are heroes like you in the Shinsengumi."

"Therefore, I am willing to cooperate with you."

After Qinghe Balang heard this, he immediately curled up his lips.

"Mr. Takeshi, I am so happy to hear you say that."

As soon as he finished speaking, the back of his head seemed to change his face, put on a regretful expression, and let out a long sigh.
