I formed the strongest swordsman group.

Chapter 1038 King meets king! The official meeting between [Rinou] and [Shura]! [4500]

Because Ogata was quick to hold the old man, his waist was only half bent and stopped in mid-air.

Ogata tried to straighten Boss Kiryu's back, but found that the other party was wrestling with him!
I saw that Boss Kiryu was secretly trying to push Ogata's hand away and complete the unfinished Dogezusa.

One side wanted to kowtow, but the other side didn't allow him to kowtow...the two of them started arguing.

"Ogata-kun, do you understand? This is my determination!"

Boss Kiryu said seriously.

"In exchange for your blood, I am willing to kneel down on the ground!"

"Don't say such things seriously... I've already told you that if you kneel down and kowtow in front of me, I will have a nightmare tonight!"

Ogata said this unhappily, the confusion on his face becoming even more intense.

"Anyway, sit down first, don't kneel."

"We are in this state now, and we can't even communicate normally."

After saying that, he slowly let go of Boss Kiryu's shoulders.

Boss Kiryu stopped being stubborn, cooperated obediently, and straightened his back again.

"I have already appreciated your determination."

As Ogata spoke, he gave the other person a half-serious, half-helpless look.

"Jiulang, you are still so good at talking."

"I heard it very clearly just now."

"You just mentioned specifically, 'Ogata, he is a man who values ​​friendship just like you.'"

"Specially comparing me to Tachibana Aoto to gain my sympathy...Although it's a very low-level method, I have to say that it is indeed effective."

"Rescuing a wife who is in danger... I can't say I can empathize with her, but I do understand the difficulty and anxiety involved."

He seemed to be recalling something from the past, and his expression was slightly gloomy.

At this time, Ating on the side smiled and stretched out his right hand and placed it on the back of his broad left hand.

Ogata turned his head and looked at his wife, and the expression on his face, which had just dimmed, became bright again.

After calming down a little, he took a deep breath and softly repeated Qing Deng's name, with an intriguing gleam in his eyes.

"Tachibana Aoki-dono..."

At this moment, both Mr. Kiryu and Atachi were silent, quietly waiting for Ogata's response.

To Mr. Kiryu, the next period of time seemed as long as 10 hours.

In reality, only 10 seconds had passed.

"...that's fine."

After 10 seconds, Ogata broke the silence with a long sigh.

"Since I met you, I have been taken care of by you. I owe you a lot of favors."

"Since it's your request, Jiulang, how can I refuse?"

Hearing this, Boss Kiryu was slightly startled.

The next moment, emotion caught up with reality, and the eyes behind the lenses became brighter and more excited at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, before he could show any excitement, Ogata spoke again:
"But, Jiulang, let me be frank with you,"

"'Undying Power' is not omnipotent."

"Even if I let her drink my blood, it would only increase her chances of survival a little bit."

"If things go wrong, she might die even sooner - please be mentally prepared."

"Also, if anything unexpected happens, I won't show mercy."

"If Okita Souji accidentally mutates while absorbing the 'power of immortality'... I will not hesitate to take action to eliminate the 'cause'."

When he mentioned the word "purge", he emphasized the tone and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"By then, I won't care about friendship or face."

"Even if you join forces with Tachibana Aoto and bring along the entire Shinsengumi, you can't stop me."

"You should know that I am not bluffing."

"So please don't make it difficult for me."

His tone was exceptionally cold and serious...he made no effort to conceal the warning mingled in his voice.

The old man looked stern and nodded with complicated eyes:
"Yes, I understand. If anything unexpected really happens... you can handle it. I will never interfere."

……

……

The next day—

Qinjin Fan, Otsu, Judi, the ward of the General Secretary——

A strong smell of medicine wafted in the air.

At this moment, Souji was lying in bed, sleeping soundly, breathing evenly.

Qing Deng sat quietly beside him, staring at Souji's face with a gloomy expression.

The translucent sunlight penetrated the window and hit her face, making her already pale skin look even more miserable.

With such skin color, she exudes a delicate aura... like a fragile object that will break at the slightest touch.

Although Beifang Jin cannot cure the blood cough, he has a way to alleviate Souji's pain.

Before leaving Otsu, he wrote a prescription and asked Souji to take the medicine on time.

Souji is the Shinsengumi's living poster boy and one of the Shinsengumi's strongest fighters.

The name of "Heavenly Sword" alone is enough to intimidate a group of villains.

If the outside world were to know about Souji's illness, it might shake the morale of the army and increase the enemy's prestige.

Therefore, after a brief discussion, Qing Deng and others unanimously decided that the matter of "General Secretary suffering from hemoptysis" should be classified as top secret and only senior officials would know about it.

All they told the public was that Souji was injured and needed to recuperate in peace.

Before further planning is made, Shinpachi Nagakura will serve as the acting captain of the First Division.

The General Manager strongly protested against Qingdeng's series of arrangements.

Her view is still the same old one: I can’t be cured anyway! So let me continue to radiate my residual heat!
Of course, it was obvious that Qing Deng rejected her suggestion without hesitation.

In this way, under Qing Deng's mandatory request, Zongsi was forced to live a secluded life to recuperate.

I have to say that Beifang Ren is indeed a rare famous doctor in the world.

The medicines he prescribed did make Souji's complexion look a little better.

It’s a pity that the effect these drugs can only achieve is “delaying”, not “curing”.

When she is not coughing, she looks no different from an ordinary person except that her face looks a little ugly.

But once he started coughing... the sound as if he was going to vomit out his lungs was unbearable to listen to; the large mouthfuls of blood spurting out were too much to look at.

Coughing like this, it’s hard to imagine how much pain she must be in.

When he thought of this, Qing Deng couldn't help but clench his fists.

Although he was extremely anxious, he had no choice but to wait quietly.

——How long do I have to wait before I can hear from Boss Kiryu...

Just as he was secretly distressed, Qing Deng suddenly heard footsteps coming from the corridor.

The elegant and leisurely way of walking... is the footsteps of Sanako.

With a whoosh, Sanako pushed open the door and slowly walked towards Qingdeng.

Qing Deng tilted his head and asked with his eyes, "What's wrong?"

In order not to disturb Souji, Sanako held down the hem of her kimono, knelt down beside Qing Deng, and whispered:
"Qing Deng, there are guests coming to visit."

Guest——Hearing this word, Qing Deng's eyes widened immediately, and he asked excitedly:
"who is it?"

Although Sanako was puzzled by Qing Deng's intense reaction, she quickly replied:
"It's Mr. Kiryu, and a stranger I haven't seen before."

Boss Kiryu and a stranger… Qing Deng’s eyes narrowed.

He didn't bother to say anything more, he stood up and rushed out of the room, leaving Sanako standing there in a daze. ...

……

When Qing Deng arrived at the reception room, he saw Mr. Kiryu who was waiting there, and the "stranger" sitting next to him.

Qing Deng didn't have time to say hello. As soon as he entered the hall, he stared at the man.

But the man was wearing a low-brimmed hat with worm-shaped tassels sewn on it, so his face could not be seen clearly.

[Note: The hanging silk sewn on the edge of the bamboo hat]

She had no sword at her waist and wore a light green haori, with a slender figure beneath the loose clothes.

Compared to the Shinsengumi's uniform, the color of his haori was lighter, as if he had worn it for so long that even the color of the fabric had faded.

He was dressed simply, carried no sword, and did not have a sturdy physique... At first glance, he did not look like an invincible swordsman at all, but more like an ordinary passerby.

Qing Deng looked at this person, then turned his head and looked at Boss Kiryu, giving him a look for confirmation.

The old man smiled and nodded.

Although Boss Kiryu didn't say it explicitly, his actions already revealed the answer!

——“The Eternal Sword Saint”…Ogata Ittosai!
The person in front of him is the legendary peerless swordsman who has lived for nearly a hundred years!
At this moment, Qing Deng felt his heart beat faster and he could hardly suppress his rising emotions.

On the one hand, there was the excitement of Boss Kiryu successfully persuading the other party, and on the other hand... there was the boiling desire to fight!

——I want to fight...I really want to have a big fight with him!
The sword saint named "Eternal" was sitting right in front of him... A strong urge to "compete with him to see whose sword is sharper" surged into his heart!

As soon as he thought of this, he subconsciously raised his right hand and tried to pull out the Vairocana from his left waist.

The other party seemed to sense Qing Deng's intention, slowly raised his head and looked at him.

Even though there was an insect hanging blocking his view, Qing Deng could still clearly feel the sharp light coming towards him.

Although the fighting spirit was high, this emotion was only fleeting.

Qing Deng has never been the kind of person who can't distinguish the important from the unimportant and can't grasp the main contradiction.

The important thing now is business.

Let’s talk about the rest later!
He took a deep breath, suppressed all the emotions in his heart, lowered his right hand again, and then moved to the opposite side of Ogata, took off the Vairocana from his left waist, placed it on his right side, and sat upright:
"Mr. Ogata, I've heard a lot about you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a light laugh came from behind Chuijuan.

"Ju Jun, there's no need to be so polite. I don't like serious occasions. Besides, given our friendship, there's no need to be so serious."

A familiar voice... Qing Deng's pupils shrank slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on his cheeks.

Before he could say anything, Xu Fang on the opposite side took off his hat and revealed his face.

"Jujun, long time no see."

He smiled slightly and observed Qing Deng's changes in expression with interest.

In an instant, Qing Deng's eyes widened as he stared at this familiar face in disbelief, murmuring:
"Gu Mu... Boss...?"

He was about forty years old, with an ordinary appearance, neither handsome nor ugly... It was the Japanese confectionery shop owner he was familiar with, Goro Komaki!
Because he was too shocked, Qing Deng subconsciously turned his head and looked at Boss Kiryu for confirmation.

Boss Kiryu smiled playfully and nodded slightly.

With the old man's assurance, the last bit of doubt remaining in Qing Deng's heart gradually dissipated.

Goro Komaki, the owner of a Japanese confectionery shop living in Kyoto, is a good friend of Mr. Kiryu... At this moment, Qing Deng understood everything.

Although his mind has accepted the reality, his emotions are still a step behind, and his expression is dominated by strong shock.

The “Eternal Sword Master” is actually by my side!

The familiar Japanese confectionery shop owner turned out to be the world-famous Ogata Ittosai... No matter how strong Qing Deng's willpower was, it was difficult for him to accept this reality in a short period of time.
Who would have thought that the "Eternal Sword Saint" who was feared by the Edo Shogunate was actually kneading dough in a Japanese confectionery shop in Kyoto...

Qing Deng couldn't help but cast a complicated look at the other person.

Coincidentally, when Qing Deng was staring at Ogata, the latter was also staring at him.

But, his eyes looked very strange.

His eyes were quite deep, and although he was staring at Qing Deng, he seemed to be staring at something deeper and more complicated, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Rather than examining Qing Deng's appearance, his gaze seemed to be staring at Qing Deng's "inner self".

This strange silence did not last long.

The first person to break the silence was Ogata.

"As you can see, I now run a Japanese confectionery shop."

"I have to go back and knead the dough. I can't handle the mountain of flour by myself."

"Time is running out, please take me to see Okita Souji."

……

……

Qing Deng led Ogata and Boss Kiryu into Souji's ward.

At this moment, Souji had woken up.

Hearing Qing Deng's footsteps, she immediately smiled happily.

"Qing Deng... Eh? Boss Kiryu? This is... Boss Komu?"

Looking at the two bosses who suddenly arrived, Souji blinked in confusion.

Qingdeng smiled slightly:
"Xiao Si, I found someone who can treat you."

"The one who heals the disease?"

Souji was stunned for a moment, then looked relieved as if he had thought of something.

"Oh... I see. Boss Komu, are you here to give me some Japanese sweets? Sweet Japanese sweets are indeed good medicine for healing."

Even the miracle doctor Bei Fangren couldn't cure her, and she had concluded that her illness was incurable.

Therefore, she subconsciously thought that Qing Deng was comforting her.

Ogata smiled, and then, like a magic trick, he took out a box of beautifully shaped Japanese confectionery from behind his waist.

"I did bring some Japanese sweets for visiting patients. But they are not medicine for treating illnesses."

While chatting and laughing, the three of them had already taken their seats.

Aoto sat on Souji's right, while Ogata and Boss Kiryu sat side by side on Souji's left.

At Ogata's request, Qing Deng had cleared the scene in advance and did not allow any outsiders to approach Souji's bedroom.

"Tachibana-kun, before we officially start the 'treatment', there are some things I must make clear."

Ogata spoke seriously, emphasizing each word.

Everything he talked about was what he had said to Boss Kiryu last night.

The "power of immortality" is not omnipotent; it may not be able to cure Souji; if an accident occurs, he will not hesitate to eliminate it, even if Amaterasu descends to the earth, he cannot stop him...

After hearing this, Qing Deng couldn't help but pursed his lips.

"……I see!"

After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth.

"Anyway, if she continues like this, she's going to die anyway. In that case, we might as well give it a try!"

Xu nodded expressionlessly:
"Well, just be prepared."

Souji looked at Aoto on his right, then looked at Ogata and Boss Kiryu on his left. His beautiful eyes widened and his pretty face was filled with confusion.

"What on earth are you talking about? What is the 'power of immortality'?"

From just now on, Qing Deng and others had been talking about things that she couldn't understand.

Qing Deng lowered his head and said to her seriously:

"Xiao Si, every word I'm going to say next may be hard for you to believe, but I can assure you that there is absolutely no falsehood in what I say - the only way to cure your illness is to let you absorb the 'power of immortality'!"

He explained the whole story in a concise manner.

When explaining, he deliberately concealed the true identity of "Komuki Goro".

This was Ogata's specific request; he didn't want too many people in this world to know his true identity.

Therefore, when talking about why "Komuki Goro" possesses the "immortal power", Qing Deng was vague.
