"If we can... take things by surprise... we should be able to..."
Miyamoto Musashi lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and replied intermittently...
After hearing this, Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded with a wry smile...
"...I heard your remarks...it seems that you are not absolutely sure?"
"It's true... I'm not 100% sure, but if the master gives the order... Xiaosheng... I'm willing to give it a try! I just hope the master can take good care of Xiaosheng's father... Xiaosheng... Yu Yuan is enough..."
"What!? With the strength of the two of you, you still need to die together!? I remember that this witch is not yet twenty years old!??" Tokugawa Ieyasu's face was ashen, he simply could not bear to lose two people at the same time!
His right-hand man, especially the latter... Hattori Hanzo... He also commands thousands of ninjas! He wears many hats!
In shock, I saw Miyamoto Musashi in front of me with a dejected smile, and then murmured back: "The master of the house doesn't know something... The master of this witch has entered the realm of heaven and human beings... (Grandmaster) Even if
It was Xiaosheng and Hattori-dono who worked together to kill him, but the two of us... will definitely die..."
"The realm of heaven and man!?? Why have I never heard you mention this matter!?"
"When I was born in the Central Plains, I was fortunate enough to be 'taught' by this senior several times... I was... ashamed... to speak..."
Although Miyamoto Musashi said this very tactfully, how come the old fox Tokugawa Ieyasu couldn't hear the other person's implication, so in order not to embarrass Miyamoto Musashi too much, he quickly changed the topic from him to himself.
…
"Then if this senior comes to my ancient house, with the combined efforts of you and me... plus my tens of thousands of soldiers and horses... we can possibly compete with him and kill him...??"
"There is absolutely no... such possibility..."
"I understand... Just pretend that I have never mentioned this matter!!! Send this letter of alliance to His Excellency Prince Yan as soon as possible!!"
At this time, Tokugawa Ieyasu's face was dark, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry...
It wasn't until Miyamoto Musashi walked away with the letter of alliance that he suddenly jumped up from the ground, and while stroking his chest, he walked to the terrace of the castle tower, looked at the beautiful moonlight... and let out a sigh...

the next day
Yan Bing warmly entertained Miyamoto Musashi in the handsome tent. Not only did he prepare a table of good wine and food, he even picked up the dishes and chatted, as if the two were brothers and sisters who had been separated for many years...
"Come on, come on! Brother Musashi has been working hard on this trip! Come and try the hometown dish specially prepared for you by this king! Braised pork! This meat...is fat but not greasy...and has endless aftertaste!!"
"Yansang...Although Xiaosheng was poor when he was young, he has seen some things in the world after he graduated...If Xiaosheng remembers correctly, this braised pork should be a Jiangsu and Zhejiang dish in the Central Plains...how did it become Yansang's hometown dish?"
?”
"Hey~~ Brother Musashi has lost his interest, isn't it!? My hometown... the entire Central Plains is my hometown! Why do we have to separate Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Yanzhao? Don't worry! The Japanese country will also be the prefecture and queen of our Liang Kingdom!
Your Yusheng...that is also my hometown dish! Come! Eat it while it's hot!!"
Yan Bing was in a good mood at the moment, and put pieces of braised pork into the opponent's bowl. However, when Miyamoto Musashi heard these words, it had a different taste... Wasn't this a clear message to the other person that I would definitely eat it?
Have you made peace?? Hearing this... the braised pork in Miyamoto Musashi's bowl suddenly lost its aroma... it tasted like chewing wax...
Seemingly noticing the other person's expression flickering, Yan Bing hurriedly raised the wine bottle to fill their glasses...
"How can we enjoy a meat feast without wine? Come on, come on! Try my homemade wine! I dare say... just this one cup! It can equal half a catty of sake!" (I didn't bring a wine glass, so I simply used a teacup as a wine glass. It's pretty good.
(to one cup and two taels)
"Half a catty? Is Yan Sang playing tricks on Xiaosheng again...?"
"Tsk! Brother Musashi, if you don't believe me, just drink as much as you want! Let's talk it over first... You can't secretly use your skills to drink! Neither of us should cheat! It all depends on your own drinking capacity! Brother Musashi... do you dare to accept it!?"
"Haha... Although the young man is not talented, he can drink well! This drink... the young man drinks first as a courtesy!"
Having said that, Miyamoto Musashi raised the glass and drank it all in one gulp. He really regarded this wine as sake... He didn't even mention tasting it first... The amount of two liang in a glass immediately made him choke.
He changed... But for the last bit of dignity, he actually suppressed his cough. Even though his face turned red from suppressing it, he still refused to lower his head... He just stared at Yan Bing blankly...
That means something like...
I've done it!
You should drink it!
I watch you drink!!
Yan Bing chuckled, then raised the glass and drank it down easily, then raised his hand to place a finger on the dishes in front of him, and said loudly: "Come! Eat the food! Suppress the alcohol!"
Just like a normal person...
Miyamoto Musashi was going crazy at that time...
After drinking this glass of wine, he felt as if he had drank two ounces of lime water... The other party was a woman, but her face remained calm and her heart did not beat. If he hadn't seen that both glasses of wine came from the same jug, he would have even doubted it.
The other person drinks and is not the same thing as himself...
But it’s not his fault. After all, people who are used to drinking sake... how can they withstand the strong taste of liquor?
Sake, rice wine originating from the Central Plains...
Its taste is light and sweet, and its alcohol content is only a little higher than today's beer.
On the other hand, Yan Bing specially prepared the liquor this time...
Those are 56-degree alcohol!
Just keep it for deliberately making things difficult for others!
