Chapter 697 Replaying the events of the founding of the United States4800
Qingdeng was not being modest.
He told the truth.
Looking back on his past life, it can be said that he killed countless people.
However, this is the first time to kill a ship.
The wood used in shipbuilding is mostly corrosion-resistant and tough oak.
To put it simply - oak is tougher and more durable than ordinary wood.
To cut off this ridiculously large keel within one or two swords... is it easier said than done?
Can he successfully cut off the keel of the Iulius?
To be honest, Qingdeng was very unsure about this issue.
On the one hand, he was worried that Qingdeng would end up with "failed negotiation".
The expression between his cheeks has a peculiar charm.
When Qingden arrives, they can set off for the Iulius and start today's negotiations.
You simply cannot use worldly common sense to measure such a character!
"The loss of a mere ordinary warship is not painful at all for the British side."
Although they were filled with confusion, they still responded to Qingdeng's greetings honestly.
"Now I just want to go back to Qianshiwu as soon as possible, and then make myself a pot of warm coffee."
He was seen staring blankly at Boss Kiryu's chest, and even stopped in his tracks.
"Rintaro, Manjiro, good morning."
Qingdeng is a benevolent king who has repeatedly performed miracles!
"Therefore, as long as they realize that the shogunate has the power to fight back, if they rashly start a war with the shogunate, they will not be able to escape unscathed, and the war between the two sides will also greatly affect the British layout in the Far East. This is enough.
Already."
At the end of the "welcome queue", Neil and Colonel Jocelyn were waiting expressionlessly.
As a result, as the ambassador of the shogunate, Aoshinobu, who should bear the greatest pressure, was not only full of energy, but also greeted them with great interest...
Aoto, Katsurintaro and Manjiro stood in the shape of "pin" and moved in front of each other in a leisurely manner.
Although he felt regretful, Qingdeng still suppressed his curiosity and silently remembered this scar with a rich history in his mind.
"What's going on?"
Looking back at Qingdeng's previous achievements, we can find that Qingdeng is very fond of the simple and crude method of "you have all kinds of methods, I will just kill you with one blow".
He frowned and looked around.
Reason told him: Sensibility is right!
As soon as Qingto finished speaking, Boss Kiryu gave him a smiling look.
In general, Qingteng only has 1 or 2 opportunities to use his sword.
One of them is an immortal minister with real talents and knowledge, and the other is a loyal man who returns to his country resolutely, even at the risk of his life.
Faced with Katsurin Taro's question, Aoto raised his eyebrows and then showed a mischievous smile as if he wanted to make fun of others.
"You can't reason with them."
Although he has reached an advanced age, he is still going strong.
Just now, due to the angle and light, Qingto didn't notice that there was an extremely ferocious diagonal scar on the left chest of Boss Kiryu.
After a while, he whispered quietly:
He couldn't help but think of this picture: Qingdeng rowed a small boat alone and sank 9 British ships...
However, after standing in front of it in person, Qingdeng suddenly felt: This keel... doesn't seem to be that big...
However, as soon as he opened his mouth——
The reason why this happened was not because Boss Kiryu's strong chest muscles attracted him - although the other party's chest muscles were indeed very attractive.
Boss Kiryu didn't respond immediately.
…
As its strength increases day by day, there are fewer and fewer people who can force it to use its full strength.
Qingden blinked a few times and stared directly at Boss Kiryu.
"Okay, please be sure to put more sugar in my coffee."
"I don't expect my knife to make Neil and others surrender directly."
"Qingdeng, let me tell you the truth - you must have some tricks up your sleeve, right?"
The next day, early morning——
Edo, Edo Port——
"Manjiro, what happened? Why is there such a fuss?"
Sensation told him: I am the apprentice of Boss Kiryu. It is a reasonable and reasonable move to understand the master's past and care about his physical and mental condition!
Edo Bay, Iulius, deck——
Boss Kiryu's expression changed slightly.
I can cut...
He decided to ask further about this scar.
As a soldier who has experienced pain in many battles, Qingdeng could tell at a glance: This wound was extremely deep!
Only wounds that are so deep that you can see the bones can leave such a profound mark!
They are the few capable ministers and officials left in the shogunate, and they are far beyond the comparison of those worms who only want to get promoted and get rich and live alone.
Then, led by Neil and Colonel Jocelyn, the group arrived at the room with the long table from yesterday.
Even if Qingteng successfully avoided the inspection of the sailors on the ship and successfully arrived under the keel, the noise caused by him drawing the sword would surely quickly attract the attention and alertness of the sailors.
The above is Qingdeng’s scheduled plan.
Katsurin Taro supported the railing with both hands, squinted his eyes, and looked deep in thought.
"This wound... is the mark left by an old acquaintance on me."
"Although many years have passed and this wound has healed long ago, maybe it's a psychological effect. Every time I touch this wound, I always feel a twinge of pain."
Therefore, if he doesn't take action, it will be big news that will shock the world.
Qingdeng held the sword at his waist and walked toward them with a smile on his face.
…
Coincidentally, at this moment, Manjiro trotted towards him.
When was the last time I tried my best?
It seems that they are all afraid that they will be overwhelmed by Qingdeng's "power" like yesterday.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Rintaro Desheng felt anxious and nervous, and then asked Qingnog uncontrollably.
And this magnifies the difficulty of cutting it off.
After saying that, Aomori turned his back to Edo Bay:
"Boss Kiryu, let's go... huh?"
As long as the two of them combine their strength - he cuts once, and Boss Kiryu adds another - they will be sure of success.
Obviously, they were worried too much.
"This is always the case in Western countries."
Soon, the majestic hull of the Iulius slowly appeared in front of them.
They all sincerely hope that this "Makuhide Negotiation" can come to a happy ending, and they all hope that Edo can be spared the military disaster.
From a rational point of view, Katsurintaro certainly believes that Aoto is not a fool.
Katsu Rintaro suppressed the urge to yawn.
"Then it depends on tomorrow's negotiations."
Concentration of God, Bear's Waist +5, Tiger's Arms +4, Elephant's Core +4, Nine Bulls and Two Tigers +3... these "limb strengthening" talents are activated together!
Qingdeng used his normal full strength for the first time in a long time.
Suddenly, Qingdeng's voice sounded from in front of them:
After some equations were drawn down - Qingden destroyed a battleship with just one swing of his sword!
If this matter were to spread, people would be stunned and in disbelief.
"No, I can't bear it anymore."
In this way, sensibility and reason quickly reached a unified opinion.
However, compared to yesterday, today they all tightened their waists and legs and looked nervous.
"Well, I know."
Boss Kiryu has already made his words clear... It would be rude if he pressed the matter further.
As soon as Aoto raised his head, Katsurin Taro suddenly heard the shouts of the crew behind him.
However... strangely enough, the keel of the Iulius left a deep impression on him. It was big, thick, and quite strong just by looking at it.
The strong sea breeze slapped his face, but it couldn't blow away the sadness on his cheeks.
Cutting off the keel is equivalent to destroying the ship.
From then on, there will be another legend about "the great swordsman who can destroy battleships" in the world.
The sudden change made both Rintaro and Manjiro stunned.
Against this golden light, the thin black smoke sprayed from the chimney of Xianlinwan is particularly eye-catching.
Qingdeng was the first to say hello.
Of course, Qingden was able to successfully complete the feat of destroying ships, and the Vairocana in his palm also played an important role.
"What's this……?"
Qingden raised his eyebrows.
Qingdeng's confusing performance yesterday really made them deeply uneasy.
Just like that, under the control of this indescribable self-confidence, Qingdeng squatted down and assumed a "streaming light" posture.
"The more you try to calmly reason with them, the more domineering they become."
Boss Kiryu saw through Qingto's thoughts and intercepted it in advance.
At the same time, Colonel Jocelyn next to him made the same move. He used both hands to pull out two guns from his military uniform, and pointed the two guns at Katsurin Taro and Manjiro.
Just looking at it can't help but give me chills... If this injury were deeper and touched his heart, then Boss Kiryu would definitely be dead.
On the other hand... he was worried that Qingdeng would be path-dependent on his past winning methods, so he also adopted the same method to fight against the British.
Even though it was Qingdeng himself, he couldn't help but be in a daze for a moment after seeing the deep incision made by him.
Rintaro Katsu took the telescope with a puzzled look on his face, pulled out the lens, and looked at the bow of the Iulius.
"Master Sheng! Master Sheng!"
The other party's appearance aroused his strong gossip... ah, no, curiosity.
Although it was agreed to start a new round of negotiations today,...to be honest, they really couldn't think of any other way Qingdeng could make a comeback.
"Crossing half of Edo Bay in one go... To be honest, I'm really a little tired."
Looking at this horrific wound, Qingdeng couldn't help but say:
Just near the boarding ladder, Katsurintaro and Manjiro stood side by side - they were waiting for Aoshito's arrival.
"Good morning, Your Excellency."
"Only when you show your sword and make them feel afraid, will they be willing to show sincerity."
"Well..."
The whites of his eyes were covered with red bloodshot eyes, there were light brown bags under his eyes, and his complexion was pale.
At the boarding port, the sailors stood in two neat rows, just like yesterday.
"From the beginning, I had only one goal - to drive away the British ships in Edo Bay and prevent them from causing trouble to the shogunate again."
"..."
In order to prevent himself from making a mistake, he specially invited Boss Kiryu to help him out.
"Boss Kiryu, this wound of yours is really dangerous..."
Suddenly, his eyes were as wide as bells.
Qingto has no doubt: as long as Boss Kiryu shows his true ability, more than 95% of the warriors in the world will not be his opponent!
Next, everything was done as it was yesterday - boarding the Kanrim Maru and sailing to the Iulius on Edo Bay.
If the weapon Qingdeng holds is a sword of ordinary quality, let alone destroying a ship, it may not even be able to withstand its terrifying physical strength.
…
As he said this, he threw a telescope to Katsurin Taro.
"Ju-kun, let's leave the story of the origin of this scar until later."
They felt that Qingdeng was not there to negotiate at all, but to find trouble!
For example, single-handedly kill the rebel group.
Neil frowned and cursed:
"Damn Japanese pigs! Do you think this little trick of yours can scare us?! Let me tell you, we in the British Empire have plenty of ways to destroy you!"
He couldn't even remember it clearly.
"Stop hiding it. If you have any tricks to defeat the enemy, reveal them quickly!"
After saying that, Qingdeng turned and left:
As the core component that supports the entire ship, the keel is naturally much larger, harder, and thicker than other components.
As the purple sword light that seemed to cut off the space flashed past, the rain curtain reconnected and the wind danced wildly again, but the dragon bone could never return to its original state.
In any case, Boss Kiryu was a great swordsman who was once famous and was known as "Ryuuang Hachiman" and "Ship-Slaying Swordsman".
"Tachibana-kun, although tonight's surprise attack was perfect, please don't take it lightly."
Almost...really just a little bit, Katsurin Taro almost blurted out: Qingden, why can you act like nothing is wrong?
Because of this "negotiation", they were so anxious that they couldn't eat or sleep.
At this time, after enough ideological struggle, Katsurin Taro finally took a deep breath, and then asked Qingto next to him seriously:
As long as you use all your strength, you may not be able to cut it off!
Just when Katsurin Taro was still immersed in incomparable shock, a faint voice suddenly came from his side:
"Rintaro, that is my great idea."
"Cutting off a warship is not enough to deter the British."
Qingdeng did not let go of his "power" and boarded the Iulius calmly.
Manjiro standing next to him also looked anxious.
He suddenly turned around, pulled out the revolver hidden in his jacket, and pointed the gun directly at Qingdeng's chest.
The two of them stared at Qingdeng in confusion.
Another example is to single-handedly invade the base of the Qingshui clan and use physical means to eradicate this big cancer that has harmed Kanto for many years.
Qingden nodded.
As a professional who is proficient in ship matters, Katsurin Taro certainly knows that relying on the strength of one person and a samurai sword alone cannot do anything to the great product of industrial civilization.
The white clouds are filled with sunny colors, and golden light is falling down. Half of the golden light is transparent, and the other half is flowing shiningly.
"There are no countries in England, but there are plenty of ships."
But... Qingdeng's past deeds are really hard to believe...
The huge cut that bisected the keel couldn't be hidden at all.
Manjiro did not reply, but said hurriedly:
"Lord Katsu, look at the bow of the Iulius!"
"All in all, we have done everything we can do tonight."
But...but...you understand, right?
The seemingly huge keel seemed to shrink into a petite and exquisite appearance in an instant.
Qingden glanced at Neil's gun, and then said calmly:
In addition to its depth, the location of this injury is also horrifying—it happens to cover just above the heart!
…
He slowly lowered his head, looking at the hideous scar, and raised his hand to stroke it gently.
Therefore, since they left the Iulius yesterday, they have been deeply anxious... so anxious that they could not sleep the whole night last night.
In addition, the time left for Qingden to attack was also very short.
As soon as the front foot entered the room, Neil suddenly changed his face!
It rained heavily last night, so today's sky is like the best interpretation of the phrase "blue sky."
The reason why the crew members on the Xianlin Maru were noisy was because they all saw the severely damaged keel.
On the deck, the crew members were running around, running up and down, nervously preparing for sailing.
This scar... seems to contain a very profound story!
"Rintaro, Manjiro, go get ready and get ready to board the ship!"
Qingdeng stood beside him, looking at the distant sky with an expressionless face.
Qingdeng suddenly stopped talking.
Qingdeng looked hesitant.
Neil responded calmly.
"Your Excellency, please calm down. If you continue like this, you will completely push us into the French camp and repeat the events of the founding of the United States." (French)
