I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

"No!" San patted himself on the chest, "All the money for the banquet will be paid by me!"

These three words immediately aroused the exclamation of many people present.

Including Ogata.

"Third seniors!" Ogata said urgently, "How can I make you spend so much money!"

"It doesn't matter what the expenses are." San smiled brightly, "I still have a little savings, more than enough to hold a banquet."

If someone else said this sentence, it is necessary to doubt the authenticity of this sentence.

But if San said this, then there is no need to doubt it.

Because San is one of the group with the highest salary among all the disciples in the Sakakibara Sword Gym.

However, at this moment, Hanbei suddenly said:

"Three, you don't need to spend money, I will pay for the banquet."

Chapter 74 Doctor Xuan'an [Please recommend!Ask for collection! 】

"Master...?" This time, he stared three times round with surprise on his face.

"Let me pay for the banquet." A smile appeared on Hanbei's face, "In terms of savings, you are definitely not as good as me. Third, holding a banquet is more than enough for me. "

Hanbei is actually retired now.

After dedicating most of his life to the Hirose domain, he retired with honor.

After retiring, I used my personal savings to build this "Sakakibara Sword Hall" a few years ago, and devoted the rest of my life to teaching swordsmanship.

Before Hanbei retired, his annual salary was as high as 270 shi.

After working for most of his life, God knows how much Hanbei has saved now.

What's more, after opening the Sakakibara Sword Gym, Hanbei still has tuition to collect.

However, the income from tuition fees is not high.

The original intention of Hanbei to open the sword hall was not to make money, but to carry forward the new genre created by his brother.

Therefore, in order to allow more people to study, Hanbei lowered the tuition fee.

It is so low that even a poor person like Ogata can afford the tuition fee.

Regarding what Hanbei said, San seemed to want to say something more.

The Hanbei noticed San's intention in advance, quickly raised his hand to stop it, and then continued:

"Three, don't say too much."

"As a master, I attended this banquet, but the money for holding this banquet was all paid by my disciples. If this kind of thing gets out, I will be laughed at by others."

"Just take it as a chance for me not to lose face, master, and let me bear all the costs of holding the banquet with peace of mind."

Now that Hanbei has mentioned this part, San San is too embarrassed to insist.

After thanking Banbei respectfully, San once again looked at the disciples in front of him.

"I want to find a time to hold a banquet when everyone is free! Is everyone free tomorrow night?" San Gao said.

"I'm free every night."

"I have time tomorrow night."

"No way... We have work to do tomorrow night..."

……

Most people are free tomorrow night, but a small number of people don't have time tomorrow night.

Seeing that not everyone has time tomorrow night, San shouted again:

"What about the day after tomorrow? Do you have time for the day after tomorrow?"

"I can."

"I can't... I have made an appointment to drink with other people in advance the night after tomorrow..."

"Why are you guys not free tomorrow or the day after tomorrow..."

……

Same as before, most people are still free the day after tomorrow, while a small number of people are not.

Three did not feel discouraged or helpless.

shouted again:

"What about the day after tomorrow?"

"I can do it the day after tomorrow."

"I'll have time if it's late the day after tomorrow."

"As long as there are no emergencies, I will be fine the day after tomorrow."

……

This time, everyone's voice was finally unified.

Seeing that they finally found a day when everyone was free, San's face finally showed a little joy.

"Okay!" San laughed, "Then set the time for the banquet to be the day after tomorrow!"

The time and place for the banquet have already been decided.

Only one last thing remains undecided.

That is where to buy the meals and drinks for the banquet.

"Where should we go to buy drinks and meals?" A disciple asked.

"If possible, of course we should find a store that can sell us things as cheaply as possible." Another disciple replied.

"How about the izakaya we usually go to?"

"You're stupid... The izakaya we usually go to is extremely expensive, and it's not worth buying there."

……

Regarding this problem, San was actually also troubled.

Because San doesn't have any good ways to buy food and drinks.

At this moment, Ogata, who had been silent since just now, said:

"Um... I know the proprietress of a certain izakaya very well... If we contact her, she should be able to sell us cheap meals and drinks..."

……

……

Hirose Domain, Ruiya.

"Welcome light..., ah! Ogata-sama!"

"Good afternoon, Miss Afu." Ogata smiled at Afu who was in front of him, "I brought some friends over today. Is Miss Asaki here?"

After finishing speaking, Ogata turned his body to the side, revealing the third-class people following him.

The "familiar proprietress of the izakaya" that Ogata said was referring to Saki.

Although because of his injury, he was temporarily unable to come to Liu House as a "security guard".

But for more than a month, Ogata still came to see Saki and Afu as "friends" from time to time.

After learning that A Saki is currently on the second floor of the Liuya, Oo conveniently asks A Fu to invite A Saki down.

After Azaki went downstairs and had a brief greeting with her, Oobi helped San and Azaki introduce themselves to each other, and then San, who was eloquent, told her what the purpose of their visit was.

After learning that the three of them planned to purchase a batch of meals and drinks from them for the banquet, Azaki said straightforwardly:

"No problem! I have a complete range of food and drinks here! You have everything you want! I will sell it to you at the cheapest price."

Speaking of this, Akio paused.

Then he continued in a half-joking tone:

"But I can't just sell it to you at the cost price. I still have to earn some money from you."

"Hahaha." San laughed heartily a few times, "No problem! If you are willing to sell it to us at a lower price, we are already very grateful!"

Seeing that the business with Ruiya was so happily concluded, a smile involuntarily appeared on Ogata's face.

Banquet...

Ogata thought about it carefully, and realized that he hadn't attended any banquets since he came to the Edo period.

Live a regular and somewhat boring life every day.

As soon as he thought of the banquet that would be held the day after tomorrow to celebrate his recovery from injury and the certificate of exemption from publicity, the sense of anticipation kept lingering in Ogata's heart like clouds in summer.

……

……

that night

Hirose Domain, Kura's mansion, Kura's room.

"Xuan'an." Cang Yongchao said to a middle-aged strong man kneeling in front of him, "How is Ogata-kun's recovery?"

The middle-aged strong man kneeling in front of Cang Yong, that is, Xuan An, gave Cang Yong a slight salute, and replied:

"Ogata-kun's injury is recovering very well. According to my estimation, in about two days, Ogata-kun's body will be back to normal."

"Yeah." Cang Yong nodded lightly, "Okay. Thank you for your hard work during this time."

After finishing speaking, Cang Yongzheng sat up and saluted Xuan An in front of him.

"My lord, you are too serious."

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Cang Yong invited Xuan An out temporarily.

As soon as Xuan An left Cang Yong's room, a black shadow suddenly descended from the roof in front of Cang Yong.

"Lord."

Flying Monkey jumped off the ceiling of Cang Yong's room with skillful movements, and then knelt down in front of Cang Yong.

"Flying Ape." After the Flying Ape appeared in front of his eyes, Cang Yong said immediately, "How is it? Is there any other activity today, my lord?"

Chapter 75 Ogata's Doubt [Please recommend!Ask for collection! 】

"Return to the lord." Fei Yuan replied, "Songping Gennai has nothing else to do today, he has been staying in the house..."

Speaking of this, Fei Yuan hesitated for a while.

Then, with a movement like squeezing something stuck in his throat out of his mouth, he struggled to spit out the remaining words from his mouth.

"Watching...'The Tournament'..."

Hearing Fei Yuan's words, Cang Yong's expression changed, and his brows frowned slightly.

After a while, Cang Yongcai then asked Fei Yuan:

"Then... is there any other information about the lord?"

Cang Yong is the object of Flying Ape's allegiance, so Flying Ape only calls Cang Yong the Lord. For Matsudaira Gennai, Flying Ape always calls him by his first name.

"Yes. I've received reliable information—the day after tomorrow, Matsudaira Gennai will go hunting again."

"Are you going to hunt again..." Cang Yong let out a tired sigh as if he was exhausted.

Because Cang Yong did not continue to speak, the room fell into an eerie silence.

After a while, Fei Yuan cautiously said to Cang Yong in front of him in a tentative tone:

"My lord... will our plan... continue?"

"Of course!" Hearing this question from Feiyuan, Cang Yong said without hesitation, "The plan—must be carried out to the end!"

"But..." Flying Ape's face showed a little confusion, "Do we... have a chance of winning...?"

As soon as he said the words, Feiyuan realized that what he said just now was a little rude, so he hurriedly apologized to Asakura Yong:

"Sorry, my lord! I made a slip of the tongue just now!"
