Boss Kiryu chuckled a few times "haha".

"The other party probably doesn't know what your purpose is in asking for the fishing boat, right?"

Qingden shrugged:

"Of course he doesn't know. I didn't confess my true purpose. I only said that I was of great use."

Speaking of this, Qingdeng paused for a moment, and then continued with a strange expression:

"I'm worried that after telling me everything about my plan, Rintaro will think that I'm joking with him, or think that my head is broken, so he will firmly reject my request."

Boss Kiryu laughed dumbly:

"To be honest, after hearing your plan with my own ears, my first reaction was to suspect that you were joking with me."

"No normal person would come up with such a crazy plan."

After saying this, he jumped into the boat and looked here and touched there.

"Well... although it's a little worn out, it's still sturdy. It's more than enough for going to sea."

At the same time that Kiryu's boss was checking the actual condition of the boat, Aomori looked up at the sky.

"It looks like it's going to rain soon... Boss Kiryu, we are very lucky."

"The weather is good, the dark clouds have covered the moonlight, and our whereabouts will be well covered."

"Without further ado, let's set off quickly."

Boss Kiryu nodded in agreement.

Then, the two of them worked together to push the boat into the sea.

Qingden jumped lightly and landed on the boat without missing a beat, followed closely by Boss Kiryu.

Immediately afterwards, Qingden took out two pairs of prepared paddles from under the seat.

"Boss Kiryu, could you please help us row the boat?"

Kiryu smiled boldly.

"Leave it to me. I once learned how to sail a boat in Kanagawa. In terms of boat sailing skills, ordinary fishermen can't even compare with me."

"When you say that, I feel relieved."

The master and apprentice sat facing each other and rowed the oars in a circle.

The boat pushed through the sea water, causing ripples, and slowly sailed into the sea.

Its bow points directly to Edo Bay...or rather, it points directly to the nine British ships in Edo Bay!

The waves stirred up by the strong wind continued to churn.

The monotonous sound of the waves is like the roar of wild beasts.

What Boss Kiryu said just now that he is "better at rowing than a fisherman" is not a lie.

He manipulated the oars with ease and skillfully used the thrust of the waves to adjust the direction accurately and control the speed appropriately.

Thanks to his blessing, the boat moved forward at an astonishing speed.

Along the way, the two of them were speechless.

Boss Kiryu had no expression on his face.

Qingdeng pursed his lips slightly, making it unclear what he was thinking.

As the distance gets closer, the nine "black spots" on Edo Bay gradually enlarge.

Soon, nine black ships blending into the night came into view.

I saw that all the ships were lit with dazzling oil lamps, and the dim yellow lights drew out one after another slender figures.

Heavily armed sailors walked along the side of the ship, patrolling.

Perhaps because the opponent on the shore was only the weak shogunate, most of the sailors on these patrols were fishing unscrupulously and did not concentrate on their work.

However, if Boss Aoto and Kiryu don't act carefully, they may still be discovered by the sailors on the British ship.

"Ji Jun, cheer up, we have to move forward carefully."

Boss Kiryu held the oar tightly and continued rowing carefully.

Qingden subconsciously glanced at Vairochana at his waist.

Finally... about half an hour later, the two successfully evaded the surveillance of the sailors and successfully arrived at their destination - the bow of the flagship Iulius.

Boss Kiryu cleverly parked the boat in a secret corner.

Due to the tricky angle, as long as they didn't make a big noise, there was no way the sailors on the ship's side could spot them.

"We're finally here..."

Qingdeng muttered, immediately put down the oar in his hand, stood up quietly, and faced the curved keel in front of him.

A battleship is like a whale - you know it's big, but you have to actually face it to truly feel its size.

As the core component that supports the entire ship, the size of the keel is naturally extraordinary. It is much thicker than Qingdeng's entire body.

Qingdeng stood in front of it, like an orange cat and a Siberian tiger face to face.

"..."

Qingdeng remained silent, staring straight at the dragon bone in front of him.

At this time, Boss Kiryu asked with a smile:

"Tachibana-kun, do you need help?"

After saying that, he patted the black sheath on his waist and struck the knife.

Boss Kiryu is a swordsman.

Since he is a swordsman, there is no reason why he should not have a sword at his waist.

After passing Vairocana to Aoshinobu, he got a new sword - Fujiwara Yuhei, the governor of Fujiwara - although it could not compete with Vairochana, it was still one of a kind.

knife.

"...Boss Kiryu, the reason why I brought you here is so that when I make a mistake, I have someone to help me deal with the aftermath."

As Aoto spoke, he turned around - he showed a calm smile to Boss Kiryu.

"Although it seems a little arrogant to say so...but I don't seem to need your help now."

The moment he finished speaking, he exhaled a breath, then slowly lowered his waist, spread his feet, planted his heels firmly, held the sheath with his left hand, and dropped his right hand naturally, looking at the keel in front of him.

Blah blah blah...

Suddenly, cold raindrops fell.

The dark clouds in the sky gave off a cold atmosphere.

In the blink of an eye, the world was filled with endless rushing sounds.

The falling rain and rolling waves combined into an erratic and lively sound.

Everywhere you looked was covered with blurry rain and mist, and your face was covered with wet and cold water droplets... The rain wet Qingdeng's hair and clothes, and a bone-chilling cold hit his internal organs.

However, Qingdeng remained motionless. Not only did his posture remain as steady as a mountain, he didn't even move his eyelids.

It's too late, then it's fast - click - Qingdeng raised his left thumb, pressed against the tangent of the knife, and pushed it forward, revealing the tenon and the blade of the knife that glowed with purple light.

At this moment... the air in the whole place seemed to freeze.

The wind stopped, the rain stopped, and time seemed to have stopped!

Even Boss Kiryu who was watching could not help but hold his breath.

A moment later——

The coquettish purple light flew diagonally into the sky, cutting a conspicuous gap in the thick rain curtain.

In an instant, "time" resumed its flow.

The wind blew again, the rain fell again, and the rain curtain that had been cut closed again.

Bang!

Explosive air waves and sounds swept across all directions!

"What happened?!"

The sailors who heard the strange noise hurried to the bow of the ship.

After arriving at the bow of the ship, they leaned their upper bodies out of the side of the ship, looked down, and then took a deep breath.

I saw a huge bottomless cut on the keel of the ship's bow!
