I formed the strongest swordsman group.

Chapter 1011: Beat up the Seven Spears of Xianzhou! [4600]

"Who are the captains of the Shinsengumi?", "Seven Spears of Senshu", "Beat them till their teeth are knocked off the ground"... Just based on these few words, it is difficult not to attract the attention of Qing Deng and others.

They all looked in the direction of the sound and saw seven warriors drinking happily at a long table not far from them.

Every one of them was drunk with a flushed face, and even from a certain distance, one could smell the pungent stench of alcohol from them.

What is noteworthy is that these seven men are all very strong, and their hard muscles can be felt through their clothes. It is obvious that they come from wealthy families who have no worries about nutrition.

The guy who just shouted out the arrogant words "Beat the Shinsengumi captains to a pulp" is the one with the reddest face among them and is still making noise.

This person's appearance reveals a hint of childishness. Judging from his appearance, he is no more than 20 years old and should be the youngest among the seven.

At this time, the companion next to this person put on a serious expression and pressed his shoulder hard.

"Ren Qilang, you've drunk too much, don't say such things."

He tried to dissuade her with good intentions, but she didn't appreciate it:

"Ah? Chang San, am I wrong?"

"What's so great about the captains of the Shinsengumi?"

"Their only advantage is their rich combat experience and they killed a few more people than us."

"We are the Seven Spears of Xianzhou. As long as we use our true abilities, it will be easy to knock them down!"

After saying that, he stood up suddenly, and then while shouting strangely, he made a gesture of swinging a sword, scaring the people around him so much that they retreated.

The man just now frowned and said quickly:

"Ren Qilang, stop talking! Sit down now! What are you still sitting for? Hurry up and bring that idiot back!"

From just now on, this person was the only one who was trying to persuade that guy.

The other five people at the table all just stood there and watched, with no intention of stepping forward to dissuade them.

After hearing the man's order, they lazily left their seats and pushed the guy who was still shouting back to his seat.

Then, as if nothing had happened, the group continued to clink glasses, with carefree laughter between the clinking sounds of the glasses.

The group's wanton and self-willed behavior naturally caused dissatisfaction among many people at the scene.

This is a public place. No matter how crazy it gets, it shouldn't affect the people around you.

However, for some unknown reason, no one stepped forward to dissuade them.

Either pretend nothing happened, or secretly cast a reproachful look and then quickly look away.

Unscrupulously disparaging the Shinsengumi... How can people like Kondo Isami remain calm with such remarks?

For a moment, their expressions changed and they all looked angry - Qing Deng, on the other hand, was normal and calm.

Serizawa frowned:
"You speak so arrogantly."

Nagakura Shinpachi echoed:
"I'm not afraid of the strong wind blowing my tongue."

"Sir, shush, shush...!"

The hand representative hurriedly made the "hush" gesture.

He carefully tilted his head and observed the seven people not far away.

After confirming that they were all busy drinking and didn't hear the accusations from here, he let out a long sigh.

"Sir, those seven people are not easy to mess with. You should be careful with your words and actions."

As soon as the hand representative finished speaking, Qing Deng raised his eyebrows:

"Oh? 'Not easy to mess with'?"

He seemed to have heard an amusing anecdote and smiled.

Kondo Isami and others also showed a playful look at this time.

Qing Deng tilted his head, looked at the seven people, and asked slowly:

"From what they just said, could it be that they are the famous 'Seven Spears of Xianzhou'?"

The hand nods vigorously:

"Yes, they are the 'Seven Guns of Senshu' of the Sendai Domain. As soon as it got dark today, they swarmed into our store and have been drinking ever since. Alas..."

His last sigh contained intense sorrow.

Just from the scenes just now, you can tell how arrogant these seven people are.

It is not difficult to imagine that their tyranny must have had a significant impact on the order of the store.

At this time, an impatient roar came from the kitchen:
"Hey! Kojiro! What are you dawdling about? Who allowed you to chat with the guests so leisurely?!"

His hands trembled violently, and he quickly turned around and said "apologies" several times, then said to Qing Deng and others with an apologetic look:

"I'm sorry, I can't chat anymore. Do you guys want anything to eat with the wine?"

It is really not kind to keep holding his hand and chatting on his behalf, preventing him from working normally.

So they quickly ordered a few side dishes and let the waiter get busy.

While waiting for the food and wine to be served, Qing Deng chatted and glanced at the seven warriors not far away.

It was beyond Qing Deng's expectation that he could encounter the "Seven Spears of Xianzhou" in this pub.

In preparation for this meeting, Qing Deng collected various information about Sendai Domain in advance.

For this reason, he has a certain understanding of these seven warriors who symbolize the "Sendai Warriors".

In order of ranking, the current "Seven Spears of Senshu" are Koichi Date, Kinji Date, Masazō Hashimoto, Fumishiro Nakamura, Togoro Ishikawa, Korokuro Date, and Nishichiro Date.

In name only, only the seven strongest samurai in Sendai Domain are qualified to be among the seven spears.

But in reality, the title still could not escape the restriction of aristocratic family background.

Among the current "Seven Spears of Senshu", four have the surname "Ida", and the other three are also descendants of wealthy families in Sendai Domain... In the final analysis, it is still "the aristocracy's self-entertainment."

However, having said that, this does not mean that the "Seven Spears of Xianzhou" are all a group of children of officials who got in through the backdoor.

Qing Deng still doesn't know their actual combat power.

But at least from their physique, these seven people are by no means weak and frail.

Although he had no idea who these seven people were, thanks to his talent "Wind Perception +4", he was able to hear all of their conversations just now.

The man who just uttered the arrogant words was called "Ninshichiro", so he should be Date Jinshichiro, who is ranked last and also the youngest among the seven.

As for the person who kindly dissuaded Date Jinshichirō, he was called "Shozo", and he was most likely Hashimoto Shozo who ranked third.

——Although their words were rude, considering that they were drunk, I’ll forgive them this time.

It would be impossible for Qing Deng to say that he would not feel uncomfortable after hearing others disparage the Shinsengumi in this way.

If it were an ordinary time, he might have gone over to give his "greetings".

Coincidentally, Qing Deng is in a very good mood now, and is willing to compromise on things that he was unwilling to tolerate in the past.

Moreover, he didn't want this rare banquet to be ruined tonight.

While everyone was chatting and laughing, the wine and food arrived.

The waiter brought a huge plate, and bottles of sake and dishes of side dishes were placed on the table.

While everyone was pouring wine, Kondo Isami turned to Qing Deng and said:
"Qing Deng, say something."

Qingden Wan'er:

"You still want to give a speech? It doesn't have to be so troublesome, right?"

Kondo Isami grinned:

"We have to say something to make the banquet more lively." Qing Deng laughed in silence and said no more. He silently picked up the wine glass at hand and thought for a moment.

After a while, he said slowly:
"Everyone, these are turbulent times."

"A pack of wolves is surrounding us, and the four seas are boiling."

"I have seen all your hard work and efforts in recent years, and I am deeply grateful."

"I will not forget any of my contributors, and I will not let down any of my close friends."

"I sincerely believe in the power of unity."

"Therefore, I hope you will all work together to fight the enemy."

"As long as we are united, there will be no rivals ahead of us."

After saying that, Qing Deng handed over the wine glass in his hand.

Seeing this, everyone immediately did the same thing and stretched out the arm holding the wine glass.

A dozen wine glasses clinked together with a chaotic crisp sound.

Qing Deng's speech was short, but everyone was moved after listening to it - because they knew very well that what Qing Deng had just said was by no means perfunctory.

Elderly people such as Kondo Isami and Nagakura Shinpachi smiled calmly.

The vice-captains, led by Nakazawa Sadagi (vice-captain of the third squad) - they were juniors - were even more honored and terrified by Qing Deng's speech and toast.

After a brief speech, the banquet officially began.

Everyone here is a comrade-in-arms who has been through life and death together, and the depth of their friendship is far beyond that of ordinary people.

Even Saito Hajime and Serizawa Kamo, who used to be at odds with each other, have now become much more friendly. Although they cannot be said to be very close, at least they no longer dislike each other.

In short, thanks to the deep feelings between each other, the scene became extremely lively in a short while.

There was lively conversation and laughter, and the drinking was boisterous.

"Hiccup... Whenever I'm drunk and excited, I really want to dance."

"Alright! Shinpachi, dance! I'll accompany you!"

Inoue Genzaburo stepped forward to stop him like an old father:
"Zanosuke, stop making trouble. Shinpachi, put on your clothes and stop belly dancing in public."

At the same time, Kondo Isami demonstrates his special skills to Nakazawa Sadagi and Nakazawa Koto:

"Come to think of it, I haven't shown it to you two yet. Look, this is my fist. Next, I'm going to put my fist in my mouth, watch carefully."

After saying that, he opened his lips and slowly put his clenched fist into his mouth.

His mouth is big enough to fit a fist - this is Kondo Isami's unique skill.

It was the first time for the Nakazawa brothers and sisters to see such a stunt, so they were very enthusiastic and quickly applauded and praised it.

Suddenly, the drunken Sanosuke Harada stretched out his arms and put his arm around the shoulders of Tadashi Matsubara (vice-captain of the 10th Division) next to him, and began to talk about his "heroic deeds" that he never gets tired of talking about:
"Mr. Matsubara, do you know? Back then, when I was still an official in Iyo-Matsuyama Domain and had not yet become a ronin, there was a nasty guy who slandered me as a 'petty official who didn't even know the etiquette of seppuku'..."

When he heard the opening line "Thinking back to the old days", Matsubara Tadashi had already revealed a look of despair...

Since joining the Shinsengumi, he has heard this story countless times and is so familiar with it that he has almost memorized it.

Harada Sanosuke was his direct superior, so he couldn't refuse.

Therefore, whenever Harada Sanosuke started to "repeat", he could only listen and endure silently.

Vice-captains of the same level, such as Nakazawa Sadaki and Nakazawa Koto, secretly suppressed their laughter and cast sympathetic glances at him.

Qing Deng and others have long been accustomed to this. They treat Harada Sanosuke's endless "repetition" as white noise, automatically filtering it out and not being affected at all.

Just when everyone was talking happily and the banquet was gradually reaching its climax, there came another direction, another seven people, and another sharp ridicule -

"It's a pity that 'Sky Sword' Okita Souji didn't come!"

Having drunk a lot of wine, Date Jinshichiro, whose face was even more flushed, chuckled and continued to speak to himself:
"If 'Heavenly Sword' comes, I will definitely compete with her to see if this woman is worthy of the title of 'Heavenly Sword'."

As soon as he finished speaking, his companion beside him - a big and strong man - quickly echoed:

"It is said that 'Sky Sword' Okita Souji is the strongest member of the Shinsengumi besides 'Nioh'. Humph, even a woman can be the strongest. It seems that the captains of the Shinsengumi are just like that. They are not that strong."

When he mentioned the word "woman", he deliberately emphasized the tone and showed an exaggerated expression.

The two of them sang in unison, amusing the rest of the people at the table - the only exception being Masazo Hashimoto.

He hurriedly dissuaded his companions, saying constantly: "Shut up", "Don't say such things", "Stop laughing".

However, his good intentions had no effect at all, and the laughter continued.

At this moment, all the Shinsengumi generals, including Aoto, stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Date Jinshichiro and others who were still laughing.

People with bad tempers, such as Kondo Isami, Nagakura Shinpachi, and Serizawa Kamo, all had angry looks on their faces.

Even Saito Hajime, who seldom showed his emotions, had a look of displeasure in his eyes.

They are all warriors, how can they allow others to provoke them again and again?
At first glance, Qingdeng was the only one who seemed relatively calm.

However, if you look closely, you can find that Qing Deng narrowed his eyes slightly, and his aura changed subtly - it was like mist condensed into frost, and the whole person became "heavy".

Mocking the Shinsengumi in public - if it was only done once, he could still forgive it.

But he committed the crime twice in a short period of time, and even insulted the general with arrogant words...

Qing Deng is missing his wife and children tonight.

As luck would have it, I bumped into the muzzle of his gun...

So Qing Deng made a decision immediately.

After Kondo Isami and the others stared at each other for a moment, they turned their heads to look at Qing Deng at the same time - they were waiting for Qing Deng's decision.

Qing Deng didn't keep them waiting for long.

He took a sip of wine quietly, then said in a clear and expressionless voice:
"I've heard that the warriors of Sendai Domain are all a bunch of self-righteous frogs in a well. Now it seems that it's true."

He deliberately opened his voice so that the sound could cover the entire audience.

In an instant, the originally noisy izakaya became quiet, and you could hear a pin drop.

The guests at other tables quickly turned their heads and cast horrified glances at Qing Deng - you dare to provoke the "Seven Spears of Xianzhou", you are going to die - they expressed this with their eyes.

After being stunned for a moment, Date Jinshichiro and others responded quickly - they glared at Qing Deng with anger.

Ida Renshichiro stood up suddenly, walked to Qing Deng's side with a swagger, and shouted ferociously:

"Hey? Kid, what did you say? Say it again if you dare!"

Qingdeng replied without hesitation:

"Isn't the direction of my words obvious? Since you are so stupid, I will be more direct - the so-called 'Seven Spears of Xianzhou' is nothing more than this. It's really ridiculous to be so ignorant and talk nonsense."

Qing Deng's words were no longer just pouring oil into the fire, but throwing a bomb into the fire!

Date Jinshichiro cursed loudly - Qing Deng couldn't understand it, maybe it was slang from the Sendai area - then grabbed Qing Deng by the collar and tried to pull him up.

However, after exerting his strength, he suddenly discovered that he couldn't even pull the other person!

No matter how hard he tried, the opponent was like a rock and didn't move at all.

In the blink of an eye, the "offensive side" and the "defensive side" switched.

But Qing Deng suddenly stood up, and using the momentum of standing up, punched out with his right fist, hitting Date Jinshichiro's left cheek squarely!
The speed of his punch was so fast that the opponent had no time to react.

The punch was so powerful that it sent the opponent flying!
Date Jinshichiro's body flew up from the ground like a cannonball, drew an arc in the air, flew towards the store door curtain not far away, and landed outside the store!
