Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

Saito hurriedly went up and covered Okita's ears, complaining: "What are you talking about to a child?"

"She's already twenty-five! Still a child?! Just spoil her!"

After all the fuss, Okita asked strangely: "Boss Kondo, why are everyone gathered here? Are you doing some team-building activities and didn't invite me?"

Hijikata gave Okita another shudder on the head: "What good things are you thinking of!" Then he continued with a straight face: "All the elite members of the Shinsengumi are dispatched. There must be something big. We also received a short notice, so the anxious team members immediately Rush to...Okita, you come with us!"

She tidied her hair and followed the team. Miburou and his entourage swaggered through the city, and everyone who saw them dispersed. Only the team wearing blue feathers could be seen walking through the road.

Okita lowered his voice: "What exactly is going on and where are we going?"

"Of course it is to maintain law and order in Edo." Kondo Isamu tapped the handle of Kotetsu's sword with his fingers: "It is said that there is a huge split within the Kanto Federation. There is a head-on conflict between the Inahaya Association and the Shirakine Group. Maybe a lot of people will die tonight. people."

"Isn't there the support of the swordsman behind the Baifeng group? It is equivalent to the credibility endorsement of the shogunate. The head of the family is also very good at dancing. He has several Chinese allies in Kyoto?" Saitoichi said in a low voice: "Ina Have you lost your mind and gone crazy?"

"No, they chose the right time. The swordsman behind the Hakuho Group is currently missing." Hijikata Tobizo took a puff of cigarette and exhaled the white mist: "It seems that even the Chinese in Kyoto have some problems... In addition, the saint who was on the list of the five great masters of the Kanto Alliance appeared some time ago and acquiesced to their approach."

"Canonization?"

"According to the investigation, it should be Bai Potian, one of the Ten Fierce Men of Great Xia. His thunderous wrath almost triggered a war between the two saints a few days ago."

"Yeah, I was so scared that I couldn't sleep well all night." Kondo Isamu smiled bitterly: "That kind of big shot, stamping his feet, would make the whole Edo tremble."

Okita Souji's eyes widened.

"There are even more powerful ones." Hijikata Toshizo continued: "About a month ago, in December last year, Bai Potian's grandson won the title of Daxia's Jiaoyang, and climbed to the top of Daxia on the shoulders of the first two Jiaoyangs. Xia, defeated him in a cross-level battle... He is only seventeen years old, and now his fame is at its peak, chasing Huang Qixia."

Okita Souji's mouth opened in an O shape.

At the age of seventeen, he defeated the first two Suns across ranks.

"Oh, I heard that he also helped kill one of the Ten Murderers." Toshizo Hijikata continued.

"!!!"

This time, all the Shinsengumi members who heard the news felt their scalps go numb.

"Is this still a human being?"

"This is the top Xia Tianjiao, and the top young powerhouse in the world." Hijikata swept around the people around him: "Yingzhou is just a corner of the world, it is a small place after all. You should broaden your horizons and don't think that If you can join the Shinsengumi, you can be arrogant! As the shogunate gradually relaxes the sea ban, sooner or later strong foreigners will step into Edo, and then they will also need to see the blood, talent and bravery of swordsmen like us!"

"Yes! Deputy Commander!" All the surrounding team members bent down and shouted in unison.

"Very good, in the next month, all training will be doubled!" Toshizo Hijikata is worthy of being the devil's deputy commander, and he will not forget the intensity of the previous wave even after taking the chicken blood.

However, Okita Souji came to his senses and whispered to Isamu Kondo: "Mr. Hijikata seems to have taken the topic astray."

Kondo Isamu stroked the stubble on his chin: "Speaking of which, the Hakuho Group is probably going to be in trouble tonight. Inahaya will attack with all his strength, and the target will definitely be a bloody river."

"As long as you don't kill people in Edo, you can do whatever else you want." Hijikata said calmly: "But if you mess around in Edo, even Inahaya will arrest you and lock you up."

"Does the shogunate have nothing to do with this matter?" Chief Okita asked, looking at the darkening sky.

"The internal strife and division of the Kanto Union is a good thing for the shogunate." Kondo Isamu said: "The general is happy to see this happen."

"Then, who can win between these two sides?" Souji Okita continued to ask.

"Of course it's Inahaya... The strength of both parties is not of the same level. Inahaya is an interest group composed of three companies and is also the predecessor of the Kanto United. The Hakuho Group is just the second-generation organization of the Kanto United. It's just one company, even if it's No matter how well it develops, its scale is too different.”

"More importantly, Inahaya had swordsmen, but now the Hakuho-gumi doesn't. This is the most deadly."

"Once you start killing people, there will be a river of blood tonight. It will be too easy for several swordsmen to kill all the Bai Feng family."

"The rule that governs tonight is pure violence."

"Even if the youngest wandering swordsman in history returns to the White Peak Group tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, she can't do anything when faced with corpses everywhere."

"Unless she can become a sword master, Inahaya will not even give her a chance for revenge..." Isamu Kondo looked far away.

"Why?" Okita asked.

"As long as Inahaya stays in Edo, we have to protect the security here and the safety of everyone." Kondo Isamu said slowly: "I am really not willing to face the wandering swordsman. Her potential Maybe it’s enough to be canonized, such an opponent is too scary.”

"But something has to be done."

"Inahaya is out for profit, she is out for revenge, and we are out to fulfill our duties. There is no way out for anyone."

Kondo Isamu patted Okita on the shoulder: "This is the cruelty of the world. However, it doesn't matter if you don't understand. Just grow up slowly."

……

After nightfall.

Changletian was once a prosperous place with countless visitors.

At this time, it had turned into a transparent sea of ​​fire.

On the top floor of Changletian, Shiromine Naomi was dressed in gorgeous clothes, an extremely gorgeous twelve singles, classic and precious.

She lowered her head and looked at the eighteen-story attic, silently thinking that maybe today would be the day when the Bai Feng Group would be destroyed.

Chapter 579 A moth flies into the flame

Shiromine Naomi is doing her makeup in front of the mirror.

There was no maid to help, so she dressed alone, moving slowly and not very quickly.

This set of clothes is called Twelve Singles. It is the highest-level kimono. The Shirakine family only has one set in their collection. This piece of clothing has been passed down for at least five generations. The last time she wore this piece of clothing was way back. The last time Chang Lotte opened.

At that time, she was wearing twelve singles, and all the girls in Changletian put on various kimonos and stood downstairs to greet the guests.

The main business directions of Changletian are, firstly, gambling, secondly, alcohol, and thirdly, desire... There are not many serious businesses that the underworld organization can do.

As the proprietress, Shiromine Naomi naturally does not need to go out to greet the guests in person. She usually only comes to inspect once a month. She will put on a kimono and then play a gambling game as the banker. There are losses and losses. The nature of her performance is greater than anything else. She The winning guests will also be invited to have dinner at the dining room at the top of Changlotian and sing the opera themselves.

Occasionally, there are such lucky regulars, and they all lament that this is really the best enjoyment in the world, as if they dreamed back to the Warring States Period, becoming Toyotomi Hideyoshi, standing on the top of Osaka Castle and overlooking the world.

Shiromine Naomi changed her clothes and looked at herself in the mirror with a slightly unfamiliar look.

She looks in the mirror day after day and sees herself changing day by day. Compared to ten years ago, she is now in her late twenties.

It seems that there are not many traces of time left behind, but the mood is indeed getting older, becoming vicissitudes of life and fatigue.

She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled to herself.

Shirahamine Naomi thinks that she is not actually of that high value. It's just that as the boss of Changletian and the head of the Shirahamine Group, her status injects a different kind of charm into her, which is why so many people covet her.

Those foreign wolves may still have the idea of ​​​​letting her bow her head and admit her mistake, and capture her as a captive.

Unfortunately, they couldn't succeed.

Shiromine Naomi put on a sarcastic smile, pushed open the door, and walked out.

Looking around, there were only about fifty people left around, all of them Bai Feng's retainers and Shinto Genin-ryu disciples.

In fact, Naomi Shiromine was deeply surprised that so many people could be left behind. She had already dismissed many people on her own initiative.

The only son in the family must leave; those who have brothers, let them go; women and children must leave... at least hundreds of people were sent away, and in the end so many were left behind.

She wanted to say something, but fell silent.

Well, at least I wasn’t lonely walking on the road to hell.

"Come on, let's go greet the guests."

Shiromine Naomi took the initiative to walk down.

The retainers at the back door lowered their heads and followed.

She walked at the front and went down the stairs. The retainers at the back door were lined up in two teams, separated on the left and right. Everyone looked at death with an expression of resignation.

With such a grand scene, the thugs who broke into Changletian and killed everyone on the first and second floors until their blood flowed like rivers could not help but be slightly stunned.

When the two armies confront each other, what matters is their momentum.

More than 90% of the Baifeng Group's strongholds were wiped out overnight.

The offensive launched by the Inasayakai was fierce and swift. This action summoned and mobilized the three second-generation groups and five third-generation groups of the Kanto Alliance... The gangs that had been flirting with the Shiraho group also suffered attacks, and the young leaders of three of them were killed and the group leaders disappeared.

Less than five hours after the war started, Inahayahui destroyed all the defense lines of the Baifeng group with a sweeping Liuhejuanbahuang offensive, and also cut off their route for help.

When Bai Feng came to his senses, only Chang Letian, the longest-running company, was still there.

And this is also intentional by the other party, just to leave such a conspicuous place, waiting for the Bai Feng Group to gather the remaining viable combat power, and then surround it, annihilate them all, and catch them all in one sweep!

This is an internal fight within the Kanto Alliance, so no one else can get involved.

Moreover, the battle took place outside of Edo, which also led to the local police department choosing to sit on the sidelines. The shogunate in charge of the local area chose not to see it and did not add fuel to the flames. However, it just watched with a cold eye. The Yakuza is also a destabilizing factor in society. There is always a need to appropriately involuntarily eliminate a group of people and make way for new positions, so as to maintain competitive pressure within the class.

The shogunate only needs to throw out the right bait to make the underworld's blood flow like a river. The Yakuza organizations all want the opportunity to "cleanse themselves and come ashore", and in order to get this opportunity, they have to bleed, and a lot of blood must be shed.

This time it is just a repeat of a past event.

An ambitious gang; falling victim to stepping stones.

Shiromine Naomi stood on the vermilion pavilion stand, looking down at the uninvited guests below, with a little meaning in her eyes.

"Everyone from the Inahaya Association...you are really generous. In order to get one of my heads, you actually sent out three swordsmen."

There are five organizations in total that are the founders of the Kanto United Generation.

Four of these five families, like Bai Feng, were declining martial arts families.

After establishing the Guandong Alliance and gaining control of huge resources, they naturally adopted various means to support a swordsman in the family...either a member of their own family or an invited guest.

The time when the Hakuho-gumi and Inahaya will have a huge conflict is around the time Amemiya Mahiru breaks through to the swordsman.

Whether or not there is a swordsman in charge is a clear dividing line for the strength of the gang.

They dared to go all out to attack the Hakuho Group because of the disappearance of Amemiya Mahiru.

A young man wearing a blue coat and dressed like a noble prince came forward and smiled like a fox: "Master Bai Feng is indeed a rare beauty. It would be a pity if he died here. Why don't you just come to my house? The house is quite big, and it’s more than enough to accommodate you.”

Behind the young master in blue stood a man wearing a mask and a bamboo hat, with two knives hanging on his waist, silent.

These two people are from the Inahaya Club. The one in blue is named Usui Yoshiji, and the one in the back is a swordsman from the Inahaya Club, named Shiden.

Every swordsman has a title.

Daxia is no exception, every generation of grandmasters has their own titles.

People live their whole lives for one breath and one piece of skin, and blocking one's account is the best way to gain popularity.

Usui Yoshitsugu is the person who is talking about this time's crusade against the Hakuho Group. He is young and has just turned thirty, but he is very likely to be the candidate recommended by the three Inahaya clans after consultation.

The Usui family has developed the best in recent years, and Usui Yoshiji also knows that this opportunity cannot be missed. Taking over the Shirakine family will be a contribution, and it will be a stepping stone for him to become the head of the family.

Moreover, this time Dazaohui's offensive is unstoppable, and when it comes to Changletian, it is basically a sure thing.

With the support of three swordsmen, he was naturally full of courage. Yoshiji Usui was in a good mood and made a few jokes. He even made a bold statement that he would take Shiromine Naomi into the courtyard as a plaything.

Just a year ago, he had to be polite when he saw Shiromine Naomi, and even took the initiative to pursue her, but Shiromine only called him a "toad", which almost made him a laughing stock. Although Yoshitsugu Usui did not care about this on the surface, he was extremely resentful in his heart.

At this time, when you catch the other person falling into the water, how can you not add a few more words of wanton ridicule to increase your inner happiness?

He felt that he was at the pinnacle of his life and was simply high-spirited.

In addition to the swordsman from Inahayakai, there were two other swordsmen behind him. They were a thin old man and a mysterious man covered in black robes.

"If you kneel down and beg now, I might spare a few more people behind you." Bo Jing raised his hand: "Hand over Chang Letian. Although the Baifeng Group will be destroyed, at least you can let a few more people survive."

Shiromine Naomi suddenly laughed, her smile was so beautiful and yet so mean.

"What a toad, you are still thinking about this kind of thing... You are really hopeless."

Hakui Yoshiji's face instantly became so gloomy that he could shed water.

"It seems you haven't thought clearly. It doesn't matter. When all your people are dead, you will naturally know how to speak..."

At the moment when Hakui Yoshiji was shouting.

Shiromine Naomi said calmly, "I'm afraid the day you envision won't come!"

Boom——!

Deafening explosions sounded, and the entire Changletian building trembled in the violent explosions.

Bo Jing's face turned pale with fright, and he subconsciously took a few steps back, calling for people to protect him. However, when he looked at the swordsmen on the left and right, they showed no movement, which seemed to prove that the sounds were from outside.

Outside?

Bo Jing looked back and his eyes suddenly widened.

He saw flames.

Flames soaring into the sky.
