Long weapons such as naginata and spears can exert their greatest power in open spaces--for this reason, Isamu Kondo deployed Nakazawa Qin outside Ikeda House.

The people responsible for guarding the back door are Toudo Heisuke and Nakazawa Qin.

I saw that they divided their labors and cooperated, one was responsible for "mid-range strikes" and the other was responsible for "killing enemies at close range".

A machete and a naginata were used to securely seal the back door, preventing anyone from escaping.

Still the same sentence - the desire to survive can greatly stimulate people's potential.

In order to survive, someone gritted his teeth and lurked secretly, waiting for the best opportunity to take action.

With limited practical experience, he realized that Toudo Heisuke was not someone to be trifled with, and Nakazawa Qin was the best "breakthrough".

At this moment, there was a man who had a moment and fought with Nakazawa Qin for several rounds - he saw this opportunity, howled and rushed forward, raised his knife and slashed straight to Nakazawa Qin's waist and abdomen.

.

If hit by this blow, Nakazawa Qin will be seriously injured and fall to the ground even if he does not die.

He originally thought that this move could directly kill Nakazawa Qin and create a bloody path, with a ferocious smile on his face.

But who would have thought... when he slashed with the knife, his palm did not feel the solid feeling of cutting flesh and breaking bones, but felt pain from the shock, as if he had hit something hard.

He raised his eyes and looked up - the blade cut open Nakazawa Qin's feather fabric, but the cut did not reveal the white and tender skin, but revealed the dark armor.

Suddenly, the man's eyes widened in grief and indignation, and he murmured half in annoyance and half in grievance:

"Chain armor...?!"

This murmur became the last word in his life.

Todo Heisuke stepped forward, a white light flashed, and he fell to the ground with a sad and angry expression.

Kyoto, Nawate Street (east of Kamogawa), somewhere——

Hijikata Toshizo and others were waiting silently outside the alley for Aoto's return.

Qingdeng's absence was not long.

It’s all about planning, and it only lasts about 5 minutes.

However, this short period of more than 5 minutes gave Hijikata Toizan and others the illusion of more than 5 hours.

Our general went off alone with an unknown person... This situation would make anyone worried.

Although they were extremely concerned and wanted to go into the alley and follow him to have a look, they did not dare to disobey Qingdeng's order and could only wait silently.

At this moment when everyone was secretly anxious, Hijikata Toshizo, Saito and a few other people suddenly seemed to sense something, and they all turned their heads to the west.

Shinmi Nishiki looked at Serizawa Kamo who made the same move and couldn't help but ask:

"Serizawa, what's wrong?"

Serizawa Duck said calmly:

"Someone is coming."

Before he finished speaking, there was a sound of rapid footsteps in the distance - a figure faintly appeared on the street in the west.

Hijikata Tosei squinted his eyes and looked intently.

About 5 seconds later, he growled:

"It's Yamazaki!"

The person who came was Yamazaki Hao who came all the way to the east of Kamogawa River after leaving Ikedaya, and then along Nawate Street to find him.

Running such a long distance without stopping was too much for even Yamazaki Hao.

After huffing and puffing as he came to Hijikata Toshizo, he didn't bother to catch his breath and asked out of breath:

"Lord, where is the lord? Where is the lord?!"

Before Hijikata Toizan and the others could answer, Aoden's voice came out suddenly:

"I'm here!"

Qingdeng walked out of the alley in three steps and two steps at a time.

Seeing Aonto return safely, Hijikata Toizan and others breathed a sigh of relief.

Yamazaki Hao didn't know what Qingteng was doing. When he saw Qingteng coming, he hurriedly reported:

"Lord! It's Ikedaya! The meeting place for Miyabe Daizo, Katsura Kogoro and others is Ikedaya! Director Kondo and the others have already engaged each other! The battle is fierce! Please go to support quickly!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone at the scene was naturally surprised.

In the next breath, they all turned their heads and looked at Qingdeng.

A flash of surprise briefly flashed across Qingden's cheeks, but he quickly returned to normal.

After thinking for a moment, he turned to look at Hijikata Toshizo:

"...Susan, you will be responsible for leading the team next! You lead everyone to support Ikedaya! I will be there soon!"

PS: Thanks to the book friend [Axin Butler] for reminding me, it turns out that as early as Chapter 101 of Volume 3, Qingden had heard about the character "Miss Sumire" from Matsudaira Rongbao.
