Qingdeng's words stunned everyone.

"The rest...is left to you?"

The dense wrinkles on Shirosaki's face trembled.

"Master Tachibana, do you want to... deal with the remaining enemies in the house alone and rescue the hostages being held hostage?"

Qingden smiled calmly.

"After a while, you will know what I want. In short - act according to my orders, and anyone who disobeys them will be severely punished."

After saying that, Qingdeng didn't wait for his subordinates to respond, and he resolutely carried Ding Guishen and strode towards a narrow alley not far away that could only allow one person to pass.

For a moment, his tall figure was swallowed up by the darkness in the alley, as thick as ink.

…

…

How could Seito not understand Kimura's little thoughts?

I have to say that Kimura's move was really wonderful and impeccable.

Kimura is the "frontline commander" of tonight's encirclement and suppression operation. This status gives Kimura the supreme authority to speak out on all matters big and small tonight.

Qingneng only has the power to express opinions and has no power to interfere and obstruct all Kimura's actions and commands.

In short - Seito has no right to disobey Kimura's military orders.

The seventh team had indeed just suffered a defeat, and was demoralized by a mysterious swordsman. Therefore, Kimura sent the intact third team to take over the "main attack position" of the seventh team - this kind of arrangement, regardless of

Whether it is from a practical situation or a legal perspective, it is reasonable and Qingdeng has no reason to refuse.

If Qingteng dares to refuse to take on this task, Kimura will definitely put a big label of "disobeying orders" on Qingteng's head at the first opportunity based on his feud with Kimura.

The Huo Fu Thieves are a solid army.

In the military, the crime of "disobeying orders" is not generally serious.

So Qingdeng had no choice at all. Even if he knew there was a pit ahead, he could only jump in bravely.

As a result, Qingdeng faced a dilemma.

If Qingdeng rescued the hostages intact, then everything would be easy to say.

But if Aoto makes any mistakes when rescuing the hostages, once the superiors place the blame, Kimura can logically blame Aoto for the "failure to rescue the hostages".

No matter what, Kimura can remain invincible.

On the other hand, Qingnog was completely roasted on the fire by Kimura.

Qingdeng was very aware of the stakes involved...but he accepted this troublesome job almost without hesitation.

Because he knows very well - this is both a crisis and an opportunity.

Qingdeng was a thief in the fire and changed his life to human and earth. If you want to quickly establish yourself in this strange organization, outstanding achievements and high prestige are indispensable.

As long as he has these two things, Qingdeng will have sufficient confidence in the future whether he is bargaining with his incompatible colleagues or bargaining with his rebellious subordinates.

Kimura, Tsuchida, and the cadres headed by Akabane must all feel that this kind of mission of "both killing and rescuing" is simply impossible to complete.

In this case, if Qingdeng can complete this task well, it will undoubtedly give his new career a good start!

Of course - the above complaints are all secondary reasons.

The main reason why Qingdeng dared to accept this task readily was because he had enough confidence to turn this "hot potato" into a sweet "sweet potato"!

The narrow alley Qingdeng was walking in at this time was a "drainage alley" that was very common in longhouses - there were houses on the left and right that were almost touching each other, and the ground was paved with dirty and damp ditch boards... that is, paving

Boards on the ditch.

Because the alley was not designed for people to pass through, the road surface was extremely narrow. Even a normal-sized person like Qingdeng had to work hard to tighten his lower abdomen before he could move forward with difficulty.

While suppressing the stench of the sewage at his feet, Qingto walked slowly forward while carefully observing the house on the left... that is, the Japanese confectionery shop where a large number of bandits were entrenched, and there were several innocent girls waiting for him to save.

lateral structure.

After a while, Qingdeng stopped.

- Very good... there are windows...!

Qingden looked up at a closed paper window on the second floor of the Japanese confectionery shop.

Looking from the outside, this wagashi has a very ordinary decoration style. It is a house made of wood and paper, with a two-story building structure. But what is going on inside can only be known after sneaking in.

Qingden first squatted down and tied the laces of his straw sandals, then took out the cuffs and tied the cuffs of his clothes tightly, and finally threw away the formation hat on his head and the scabbard for holding ghosts and gods on his left waist.

It has to be said that the black uniform adopted by the Huofu Thief not only has a majestic appearance, but also has a great advantage, that is, it can be used as a "stealth suit"!

Qingdeng bit the hilt of the Ding Guishen's knife in his mouth, jumped lightly, grabbed the rafters under the eaves, and then flipped up like origami and stood on the eaves of the first floor of the house.

——Ah, think about it carefully... now seems to be a good time to test the results of my "Yunliu" cultivation...

Qingdeng smiled in his heart and walked slowly towards the closed window in front of him in a posture similar to a squat.

Wooden eaves... According to common sense, if an adult man like Qingdeng, who is full of sinews, steps on such a wooden eaves that is rather rough in workmanship, he will make some strange noises.

However, Qingden's footsteps made no sound as he walked on it.

To an outsider, they would definitely feel that Qingdeng was not walking, but floating.

In the past two months, with the good mentality of "If you don't pluck such good wool, you won't pluck it out", Aoto has been very active in learning the new Goteiban's unique ninjutsu "Kunryu" at Tsukinomiya Shrine.

With hard work and the help of hundreds of millions of talents such as "Ninja Master", "Gathering God", "Skillful Hands" and other talents, whether it is footwork, strange skills, or indoor fighting skills, Qingdeng has no one.

Not making rapid progress.

Qingdeng is now proficient in unlocking most of the locks on the market, and can move silently on roofs covered with tiles, on top of walls that are only half a foot wide!

When he was still three steps away from the window, Qingdeng stopped and closed his eyes. He used "Gathering God" and "Wind Perception" to detect the movement inside the house.

- There's no one near the window... that's good...!

As soon as this thought arose, Qingdeng opened his eyes without hesitation and walked to the window.

He pulled the window frame - it was locked.

When Qingdeng saw this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he was secretly amused.

He didn't expect that after "Footwork", it would be time to test the second important technique of "Yunliu" so quickly: "Special Technique"!

Qingdeng took out two slender black iron needles from his arms and inserted them into the gap in the window frame. After a while of tinkering, he heard a small "click" sound - the window opened.

Qingdeng took the iron needle back into his arms and gently opened the window. After pulling out a gap big enough for him to pass through, Qingden rolled in along the gap.

As soon as he landed, he squatted under the window and observed for a while, then hunched over and walked cautiously inside.

There is nothing novel about the layout of this Japanese confectionery shop. The wooden corridor, which is not old, does not make a "squeaking" sound when you step on it, which makes Qingteng heave a sigh of relief.

If it was a wooden corridor that seemed to be equipped with a voice control function that would make a sound when stepped on, then Qingden could only jump to the ceiling to be on the safe side and move secretly on the ceiling instead.

Qingdeng discovered that there was a corridor corner ahead.

He walked a few steps quickly, hid himself under the corner of the corridor, and then stuck his head out to observe the movement outside the corridor.

Because the nearby windows are closed and there are no lights on, the brightness of the corridor is a good example of what it means to be "out of sight"

Whether the scene in front of him is bright or dark makes no difference to Qingden, who has the talent of "night vision", and it does not affect his ability to see things.

After observing for about 5 minutes, Qingdeng saw nothing but darkness, darkness, and darkness - but he heard a lot of trivial movements relying on the "wind perceiver".

At 9 o'clock, there was a girl sobbing...

"Rescuing the hostages" and "annihilating the remnants of the rebel group" - it is clear at a glance which one is more important.

As long as the hostages are rescued, the crusade against the remnants of the rebel group will become a simple matter of time.

Therefore, Qingdeng turned around without thinking and walked straight towards the direction where the girls' sobs came from.

Not long after, Qingdeng stepped onto a corridor. Suddenly, his brows raised. He subconsciously leaned against the wall beside him, hiding his body in the shadow under the wall, and then stared ahead.

Seven steps away from the 2 o'clock direction, I saw a haggard and unkempt warrior standing side by side by an open window - I don't know if they wanted to get some air or to observe the movements of the officers and soldiers outside.

Qingdeng looked around him...except for this person, there was no trace of other enemies nearby.

This guy was so lucky that he happened to be on the path Qing Deng had to take to rescue the hostages.

Qingdeng didn't have the free time to wait for this guy to leave.

So it is self-evident what action to take now - the time has come to test the third and most important skill of "Yunliu": "Indoor Fighting Technique"!

What happened next really happened in the blink of an eye.

Qingdeng, who was "quiet as a virgin" one moment, turned stillness into movement in the next moment!

He pounced like a carnivorous beast and jumped behind the warrior with precision.

The samurai heard a strange noise coming from behind him, and before he could turn around, he felt a large iron clamp tightly clamping his chin, mouth and nose - Qingden used his left hand to firmly hold down his mouth, preventing him from letting go.

He made a sound. He raised the Ding Guishen with his right hand and stabbed the tip of the knife into his lower abdomen.

The knife enters very hard and hits the vital point directly.
