An important member of the Great Salt Party came to visit at this time... Qingdeng didn't think he was here to chat and laugh!

He didn't think too much and ordered loudly without hesitation:

"Take him to the guest room, I'll be there in a minute!"

"yes!"

…

…

After a while——

Qinjin Fan, Dajin, Judi, reception room——

After simply arranging his clothes, Qingteng rushed to the reception room in three steps at a time.

After passing through the side door specially designed for him and entering the reception room, he met Tojo Shintaro, whom he had not seen for many days.

The other party is still the same, looking slovenly and unkempt.

"General Orange, Gui'an."

Seeing Qingden coming, Shintaro Tojo took the initiative to bow and salute him.

"Well, no need to be polite."

Qingdeng waved his hand and sat down on the main seat.

It was only then that he suddenly discovered that the other party did not come alone, but saw a young man dressed as an entourage sitting behind him.

Due to the viewing angle and the obstruction of Shintaro Tojo's body, Qingto didn't notice this person at the first time.

This guy has a very petite figure. He wears a standard shogunate hat with his head drooped. The edge of the hat blocks most of his face. From Seito's perspective, it's impossible to see his face clearly.

Although his face was difficult to distinguish, Qingdeng felt that this person looked particularly familiar.

Soon, he knew who the other party was.

Before Qingdeng could say any greetings, the man took off his hat and said quickly:

"An Yi, long time no see."

As the hat came off, Qingden saw a face as beautiful as Sanako's.

Qingdeng was surprised at first, and then responded calmly:

"Ziyang... no, Miss Sumire, you are fine."

A beauty that can be compared to Sanako...she is the only woman with such outstanding features in all of Kyoto.

Yes, this woman is none other than the number one geisha in Kyoto, the number one beauty in Kyoto, and the intelligence chief of the Great Salt Party—Miss Sumire!

Since the "Ikedaya Incident" ended, Aoto has not seen Miss Sumire again.

First, I am too busy and can never find any free time.

Secondly, there is no need to meet the other party specifically.

Sanlai Qingdeng deliberately kept a distance from the Great Salt Party.

Although he admires the Great Salt Party for its perseverance and determination to stand up for the people, from a status standpoint, as a senior official of the shogunate, his relationship with the Great Salt Party has always been delicate.

Furthermore, he was not so familiar with the Salt Party that they fell in love with each other.

Therefore, Qingdeng's attitude towards the Great Salt Party has always been neither deliberately close nor deliberately distant.

Seeing Miss Sumire here, Qingden lowered his eyelids unconsciously, a solemn look flashed in his eyes.

He immediately saw that Tojo Shintaro's sudden visit was just a cover!

His real purpose is to protect Miss Sumire so that she can come to meet him!

In this way, Qingdeng was more certain that their sudden visit was for some important purpose.

After thinking about this, Qingdeng slowly opened his mouth and said:

"Miss Sumire, you must know that I am very busy right now."

"So let's skip the unnecessary pleasantries and greetings and get straight to the point."

"You came here suddenly. You must have something important to discuss with me."

Miss Sumire has always been a cheerful person.

As soon as Qingdeng finished speaking, she nodded vigorously:

"Yes, that's exactly it."

"Just this morning, our important informant sent important information related to Changzhou."

"I think it is necessary to inform you of this information, so I came here."

After Qingdeng heard this, a flash of light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Want to hear the details!"

Miss Sumire didn’t show off to Qingdeng, and said directly and sternly:

"It is now confirmed that the Choshu Domain has joined forces with the Fanzhu Party!"

"It was with the help of the Fa Zhu Party that the Choshu Army was able to surprise Nobi and march into Kanto!"

Hearing this, Qingdeng did not show any excessive surprise, but his eyes narrowed slightly and his cheeks were filled with a stern look.

In fact, as early as when he learned that the Changzhou Army had made a surprise cross-sea attack on Nongwei, Qingteng began to doubt whether the Fazhu Party was involved.

Where did Changzhou get the ability to carry out such a large-scale operation?

If they really had such ability, they would not have been defeated in the Battle of Shimonoseki, the Battle of Ikedaya, and the Summer Battle of Kyoto.

At this juncture, if there is any force that is willing to help Changzhou and has the ability to help Changzhou... the only person Qingdeng can think of is to punish the party!

The background behind the law’s execution of the Party has always been unfathomable.

No matter what they do, Qingdeng will not be surprised!

Before launching the "Changzhou Expedition", Qingdeng once considered whether the Fazhu Party, which loves to cause trouble, would take the opportunity to cause chaos.

Now, his conjecture is confirmed.

From a certain point of view, a big stone in his heart fell to the ground - it is you who are punishing the Party in law! We haven't seen you for a while, but you gave me another "big gift"!

At this moment when Qingto was thinking secretly, Miss Sumire continued:

"The legion that easily captured Nagoya Castle included not only Choshu's surprise troops, but also the Hoshi Party's own troops."

"Aki, do you know the Slavs?"

Qingdeng replied without hesitation:

"Of course I know. One of the three major barbarian tribes in Europe."

Miss Sumire nodded.

"That's right. An Yi, you know a lot. You even know about the 'Three Barbarians'."

The three major barbarian tribes in Europe - Celts, Germans, and Slavs.

The names of these "three barbarians" were given by the Romans in BC.

To the Romans before BC, these three peoples were truly barbarians.

Nowadays, except for the Celts who are still oppressed by the English, the Germans and Slavs are living well.

Many people mistakenly think that Slavs refer exclusively to Russians, but this is actually not true.

The Russians are just a branch of the Slavs.

The Slavs have a wide distribution range and are widely distributed in Central Europe, Eastern Europe, and Southeast Europe.

Miss Sumire, who didn’t need to explain more about what a Slav is, continued:

"It is reported that the French Communist Party spent a lot of money to hire and train a 'Slavic Army'."

"As the name suggests, the soldiers of this legion are mainly Slavs from the Kingdom of Lu."

[Note: Lu Country: Lucia Country, the Japanese name for Russia in the Edo period]

"An Yi, I don't know if you know it. Maybe it's because the living environment in Lu country is too harsh, so the Slavs in Lu country have a very special view of life and death."

"Simply put, they don't care much about human life."

"Although they are mercenaries who work for money, in other words, as long as they are given enough money, they really dare to sacrifice their lives."

"The strength of this 'Slavic Legion' is about 2,000."

"An Yi, when facing this 'Slavic Army', you must be careful and never be careless."

While Qingdeng listened carefully, he kept casting surprised glances at the other party.

Miss Sumire noticed something strange about him, so she smiled after finishing the story:

"An Yi, are you confused? We came all the way here just to give you information?"
