I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

While continuing to observe Ogata who was still chatting with Azuki, Isshiki said in his heart with a tone of worry and disgust.

In the Edo period, a 15-year-old girl could be considered a married adult.

But Isshiki just happens to be a person with a concept in this respect, which is somewhat different from the world.

He believes that the minimum marriage age for women should be 16 years old.

Because according to his observations and findings, girls married under the age of 16 have weaker bones. At such a young age, such weaker bones are not enough to bear the pain of childbirth.

Ogata and Azuki chatting, in the eyes of others, they are just two very normal friends chatting there.

However, because of his bad impression of Ogata, Isshiki can't help but be biased towards Ogata's various behaviors.

So I often see Ogata chatting with Azuki Isshiki, I can't help but imagine: the reason why Ogata often chats with Azuki is because he has a crush on him

The more imaginative Isshiki thinks about it, the more possible it becomes.

This preconceived idea made Isshiki look at Ogata more and more weirdly.

That Mashima Goro has been taking care of the woman lying next to him in every possible way, she should be Mashima Goro's wife

Even though she already has a wife, she still went to hook up with other girls and she was still such a perverted girl.

Do you still want to be a concubine?

snort!How shameless!

Isshiki not only snorted heavily in his heart, but also snorted heavily with his nose in reality, and the disgust-based emotion in his gaze towards Ogata became a little more.

"huh huh"

Yi Tong lay in his hammock and fell asleep.

But at this moment, a violent knock on the door suddenly sounded from outside the door.

At the same time as the knock on the door, anxious shouts with a little joy came into Yitong's ears.

"Master Ant Tong! Master Ant Tong!"

Under the joint attack of knocking on the door and the shouting, Yitong slowly opened his eyes.

"what"

Ant Tong rubbed his eyes while slowly getting up.

"Is it touching land, or is there a storm approaching?"

"Not at all! I found a ship ahead!"

"Oh?" Ant Tong's eyes lit up, "A ship?"

Yi Tong quickly jumped off the hammock, then rushed out of the room and went straight to the deck.

After arriving on the deck, he immediately climbed up the mast non-stop and climbed to the watchtower on the mast.

On the observation deck, 4 subordinates were observing the surroundings of the ship with binoculars.

As a pirate who can buy even this kind of western ships, Yi Tong is naturally not lacking in the extremely convenient small things such as binoculars.

The telescopes purchased by Yitong are the most advanced telescopes in Europe at present.

"Where is the boat?" Ant Tong asked directly to the subordinates on the observation deck as soon as he boarded the observation deck.

"In the southeast direction!" A certain subordinate replied while handing the telescope in his hand to Yitong.

After receiving the telescope, Yitong immediately picked up the telescope and looked southeast.

Their observation deck is very high, coupled with the most advanced telescope at present, it may be a bit exaggerated to say that they have "clairvoyance", but there is no doubt that they have "clairvoyance".

As soon as his eyes were attached to the camera, Ant Tong suddenly saw a ship sailing southward alone on the southeast sea.

Looking at the ship in the camera, a ferocious smile slowly emerged on Yitong's face.

"Is it a stowaway?"

As an experienced pirate, Yitong recognized at a glance that this lonely and inconspicuous ship was a smuggling ship specially used to help people travel between Ezo and Japan.

"Smuggling boat?" The eyes of the subordinates standing beside Yi Tong lit up.

As pirates who specialize in human trafficking for a living, they naturally understand what a stowaway boat means to them, and it means a very sweet pastry.

There is generally no armed force on board the smuggling boats, so they can be captured easily.

There are bound to be many stowaways on board, and there may be many commodities that can be sold at high prices.

At the same time, because "helping people to smuggle people" itself is a gray industry that is not very visible, so even if they are robbed by pirates, most of these smuggling merchants dare not report to the government and seek help from the government.

In fact, Ant Tong and his group had robbed stowaways many times before, and each time they made a lot of money.

However, the smuggling boats that were robbed before were all encountered in the Tsushima Strait.This is the first time that a stowaway boat has been encountered between Ezo and the mainland of Japan.

"Boss." A certain subordinate asked, "How is it? Do you want to vote?"

Ant Tong licked his lips at this time, his eyes shone with excitement.

He is a pirate.Since he was a thief, there was no reason not to rush up and take a bite of this kind of fat in front of his eyes.

But at this time, what another subordinate said made the expression on Yitong's face pause.

"Then shall we remind the guests on our ship first?"

The subordinate's words made Yi Tong suddenly remember that there were still a group of distinguished guests on their boat who had to drop them off to Satsuma.

Robbery is a big deal, even if it's just a small stowaway boat, some bloody fights will inevitably erupt after they get together to rob.

There are still a group of distinguished guests like Gongbu and the others on their boat, if they rushed forward to rob the stowaway boat without reminding the guests, it would be a bit rude.

So, after a long silence, Yi Tong said slowly:

"Hey, you. Tell the helmsman. Keep the distance from the stowaway boat, and follow the stowaway boat closely."

After thinking about it, Yitong finally decided to say hello to Gongbu and the others first.

After leaving this order, Yitong quickly climbed down from the observation tower and rushed to the room where Gongbu and others lived.

"Miyabe-sama! Are you there?"

"Master Yitong? Please come in." Gongbu's voice came from the room.

After getting permission from the palace department, the palace department opened the room and walked quickly inside.

As soon as he entered, Yitong saw Miyabe sitting cross-legged on the hammock and reading a book.

Under the hammock, sat a blind man holding a knife with his handle.

Yitong is not very familiar with this blind man, he only knows that his name is Morimaru, and he is almost inseparable from Miyabe.

When walking, blind people will use the knife in their hands as a guide stick.

"Master Yitong." Gongbu asked softly, "I came here suddenly, what's the matter?"

"A very lucky thing happened to me."

Yitong licked his plump lips, and then told the palace department all about his plan of discovering the stowaway boat and going forward to rob it.

"I see." Gongbu nodded lightly, and then smiled softly at Yitong, "Master Yitong, congratulations. You actually met a stowaway here."

"That's right. The stowaway boats in this sea area are indeed relatively rare, and this is the first time I have encountered a stowaway boat on the way out of Ezo." Yi Tong licked his tongue again, "Miyabu-sama, you should also know What does the smuggling boat mean to a pirate like me who makes a living by trafficking people."

"I'm depressed because I didn't abduct many high-quality girls during my vacation here in Ezo."

"Now that I have come across this stowaway boat by chance, it can be used to compensate for some losses."

"I plan to spend a little time going forward to intercept that stowaway boat."

"I hope you don't take offense, Mr. Gongbu."

As soon as Yitong's voice fell, Gongbu waved his hand:

"We are just passengers on this ship of yours with the wind. I have no intention and will never interfere with the command of this ship."

"Master Yitong, you can do whatever you want."

"If necessary, I can also send my subordinates to assist you."

Speaking of this, Miyabe turned his eyes to the blind man who had been sitting quietly not far from him: Mori Maru.

"Although I have few people, there are still masters who can outnumber ten."

"Hahahaha!" Yitong laughed triumphantly, "Master Gongbu, thank you for your kindness!"

"But in the face of a stowaway boat, we can easily take them down with our own strength!"

"There is still half an hour to go ashore!"

The short and stout guard who had informed Ogata and others of the landing time before returned to the cabin again and announced the new landing time to everyone.

"Those who haven't started packing their luggage yet, start packing quickly!"

"When we land, there is not much time for you to take your time there"

Before the short guard finished speaking, the door of the cabin was slammed open.

It was another guard who opened the door.

"What's wrong?" The short guard frowned and looked at his colleague.

The guard rushed to the short guard in a hurry, and then whispered something to the short guard.

The short guard's expression changed drastically, and he rushed out of the cabin following his colleague anxiously.

Watching the two guards leaving in a hurry, an uneasy atmosphere slowly emerged and spread in the cabin.

"What's wrong?" A-cho, who was still lying dead, asked in a low voice.

"I don't know." Ogata frowned slightly.

"Something seems to have happened." Isshi's grandfather: Isshi looked at the door of the cabin all the time, and said in a deep voice.

Isshiki did not make a sound.

He only pursed his lips, then silently raised his hand to touch a big cloth bag beside him

"Hahaha! Go forward!"

Yitong folded his hands on his chest, standing on the prow of his pirate ship, laughing loudly.

"Luck is really good!" Ant Tong's tone was full of complacency, "Even gods and Buddhas are helping me!"

At this moment, his pirate ship has now fully opened its sails and is moving forward at full speed.

The stowaway in front of the target!

Now it happens that the northwest wind is blowing, which happens to be a tailwind for Yitong and the others who are chasing the stowaway in the southeast direction.

After fully opening the sails, the pirate ship under Yitong's feet cut through the waves at a terrifying speed.

"Boss!" A subordinate next to Yitong who was holding a telescope shouted loudly, "The other party seems to have spotted us! They are running away at full speed now!"

"Escape?" Yitong grinned grimly, "I'd like to see how their little wrecked boat will get rid of us!"

Ant Tong's boat was a European-style three-masted sailing ship bought from the Dutch with a lot of money.

Although it is an obsolete ship on the European side, it is undoubtedly a super battleship with superb performance on the Asian side.

The fly in the ointment is that after buying this ship, Antonic didn't have any extra funds, so it couldn't add cannons to this ship.

So the ship under Yitong's feet is just a larger transport ship, not a battleship.

The stowaway in front was only one-third the size of Yitong's pirate ship, and had only one sail. In terms of speed, it couldn't beat Yitong's three-masted sailing ship.

Although the stowaway ship has tried its best to escape, the distance between it and the pirate ship of Yitong is ruthlessly narrowed a little bit

At this time, Gongbu also stood with his hands behind his back, and walked slowly to Yitong's side.

Behind Miyabe followed Morimaru who looked like a conjoined twin.

Because the blind Morimaru was exploring the way with the knife in his hand, there was a constant sound of the bottom of the scabbard hitting the deck.

"Is that boat a stowaway boat? Mr. Yitong, it's a good thing you can tell that boat is a stowaway boat at a glance."

"Hahahaha! I've spent such a long time at sea, I still have some good eyesight! I hope there are some high-quality goods on that ship."

An obscene gleam appeared in Yitong's eyes.

"It just so happens that my subordinates and I haven't played with a woman for a long time."

"Ah, Miyabe-sama, after we rob a few high-quality goods from that stowaway ship, do you want to send some to your place?"
