In an instant, there was a loud sound of "choking, rang, rang, rang" as the sword was drawn out.

A chaotic group fight immediately unfolded.

Such noisy movement naturally alerted other team members living in the same brigade point.

"What's the noise? What happened?"

"It seems like someone is fighting!"

"Fight? Let's go! Go and have a look!"

One passed to ten, ten passed to hundreds... Within a moment, both ends of the corridor were filled with people who came to watch the fun.

"Get out of the way!"

About 2 minutes later, Isamu Kondo—who happened to be staying in this hotel—arrived aggressively leading the inspectors from the Metropolitan Police Bureau.

The Metropolitan Inspection Bureau is an agency responsible for maintaining military discipline and supervising soldiers.

In other words, the inspectors of the Metropolitan Police Bureau are the military police of the Shinsengumi.

With a body as strong as a gorilla, Isamu Kondo squeezed through the crowds blocking his way and reached the "front line."

After taking one look at the messy fighting scene, he turned his head and shouted to his subordinates behind him:

"Why are you still standing there? Why haven't you subdued them yet?"

After saying that, he pulled out the Nagasone Kotetsu from his waist and strode into the messy corridor.

Fighting in groups, using less to fight more... This is the fighting method that Kondo Isamu, who has the talent of "lonely courage", is best at!

His title of "the fourth generation head of the Natural Rishin-ryu clan" was not earned through kinship.

He relied on his undoubted hard power to gain the recognition of Kondo Shusuke and the apprentices at the Test Guard Hall and was promoted to the position.

He is recognized as the strongest person in the trial defense hall, second only to Qingto and Souji!

He just dodged and came to the center of the chaos.

One flash, another flash, three flashes... People saw his Kotetsu flash three times.

For the first time, he knocked away a farmer's waist.

The second time, he hit a certain warrior in the stomach with the bottom of the hilt of the sword.

The third time, Kotetsu's blade hit the blade of a katana straight away, cutting off the blade with just one blow.

From the time Isamu Kondo entered the battle to the end of the battle, less than 10 seconds had passed.

Isamu Kondo managed to kill two people in the fight in such a short period of time, and everyone fell to the ground.

Kondo Isamu put Kotetsu back into the scabbard, turned to the men and shouted:

"Tie them all up!"

…

…

Qingdeng’s room——

Qingto, who enjoys a large independent suite due to his high status, is reading "The Tale of Genji" by candlelight.

"The Tale of Genji" is a novel written by Murasaki Shikibu, a female writer in the Heian period.

It is set in the heyday of Japan's Heian period, describes the life experience and love story of the protagonist Genji, and reflects the cultural life and social background of the Heian period.

The idea of ​​"mono-sorrow" highly respected by the Japanese comes from this book.

The reason Aoto was reading this famous book was not because he had too much free time to pass the time, but because he wanted to learn more about Kyoto through this book.

For Ayoto, Kyoto is a completely unfamiliar city.

It was embarrassing to say that when he talked about Kyoto, all he could think of were all kinds of stereotypes.

Jingyan Ye is a person with a lot of honorifics.

A charming geisha with a unique charm.

Historical buildings abound.

The arrogant and arrogant people's character that "everything outside Kyoto is the countryside" - especially this aspect, makes Ayoto twitch his lips every time he thinks of the word "Kyoto".

The arrogant behavior of the maids at the Imperial Palace has deepened Ayoto's stereotype that "Kyoto people are a bunch of arrogant guys", and it has almost become a ideological stamp.

In this era, there are no convenient media channels such as television and the Internet.

If you want to understand the areas beyond your horizon, you can only rely on word of mouth from others and records in books.

The Shinsengumi's current advance is going smoothly.

If nothing else happens, they will arrive in Kyoto in mid-February as scheduled.

Next, he will be based in Kyoto and work for a long time.

Therefore, it is right to read more books related to Kyoto and learn more about this ancient capital.

Although "The Tale of Genji" is a long novel written more than 800 years ago, its story content involves a lot of local customs and customs in Gyeonggi.

When Qingdeng was reading with great enthusiasm, rapid footsteps suddenly came from the direction of the corridor.

He knew that something must have happened, so he immediately put down the "The Tale of Genji" in his hand

"Tachibana-kun! Tachibana-kun!"

The Chief's voice came in.

"Oops! There's a fight among the team members!"

She explained the incident in a concise and concise manner.

After Qingdeng heard this, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"Troublemakers appeared so quickly..."

After saying that, he closed the book and stood up.

"General Director, help me gather the entire army."

"All, all the army?"

"Yes, the whole army! Call all the soldiers over to me!"

…

…

Hakone-juku, an open space somewhere——

The officers headed by Kondo Isamu, the captains headed by the general secretary, the members of each team, and the staff of the Wenya field gathered together.

They stood in a fan shape, some of them looked at each other with blank faces, you looked at me, I looked at you.

"Hello? What happened? Why did you summon us suddenly?"

"I don't know the specifics. It seems like there was a private fight."

"Private fights? Hey, isn't this bad... I remember that private fights are strictly prohibited in the Shinsengumi Code..."

"Shh! Be quiet, Lord Niou is here!"

Qingdeng held the saber on his waist and slowly stepped into everyone's sight.

The seven people involved in the fight—three peasants and four warriors—were tied up with hemp ropes and sat in a row on their knees.

They all drew knives during the fight, but because of Isamu Kondo's timely intervention, no one died, and only a few people suffered injuries.

Qingdeng stood still in front of them, expressionless.

Shannan Jingzhu walked quickly to him from behind, leaned his upper body, and put his mouth close to his ear:

"Mr. Ju, their identities have been found out."

"Of the three soldiers who are farmers, one is from the eighth division and two are from the tenth division."

"As for the 4 warriors who are warriors, 1 is from the 6th Division, 2 are from the 5th Division, and 1 is from the 4th Division."

After the report, Shannan Keisuke consciously returned to his original position.

Qingdeng narrowed his eyes slightly and turned his sharp gaze towards the troublemakers in front of him.

I saw that most of them had their shoulders slumped, their heads drooped, their waist bones seemed to have disappeared, and their entire backs looked limp.

However, there were three people - they were all swordsmen on their waists - holding their heads high like swans, looking stubborn and not thinking they were at fault.

Qingdeng ignored them and said loudly:

"You must have memorized the 'Shinsengumi Code', right?"

"First, follow the command in all actions."

"Two, you are not allowed to leave the organization without permission."

"Third, don't fight privately for no reason."
