Chapter 517 The Banquet Was Full of Danger

"You are deliberately embarrassing us!"

Kamagawa Zhushui was a little annoyed that the plan failed. When he looked at the silver-haired man's joking expression, he was stunned and speechless.

Empress Dowager Yuanya, sitting at the top, couldn't bear to let her beloved man be made difficulties by others, so she gently mediated.

"Well, don't say any more. Someone, replace the wine and dishes quickly, and let's continue the banquet."

Gu Di pursed his lips and hummed coldly, raising a fist salute upward.

"Thanks for the hospitality of Your Majesty and Your Grace. Now that I'm full, I need to set off immediately and return to Da Yi. I have to leave now."

Emperor Yuanya sat upright, expressionless. He didn't eat or drink and didn't respond.

Empress Dowager Yuanya, with slight lipstick on her mouth, seemed to want to say something, and her expression was disappointed.

Kamagawa Zhushui was a little excited. He leaned close to Gu Di and blocked his body when Gu Di wanted to stand up.

"Don't be impatient, Your Highness. I have another very important thing to trouble you. When it's done, I'll personally escort you out of Jingdu."

He was a greedy jackal!

Gu Di knew that people of Ying State couldn't let him leave easily.

Gu Di raised his eyebrows and looked at Kamagawa Zhushui with his clear eyes.

"Your Excellency, is there anything important you need my help with?"

Kamagawa Zhushui's narrow eyes and evil smile made him look more sinister and cunning. He straightened up and clapped in the air.

A servant came forward and put a pen and ink and two gold sealed and framed official documents on the empty table in front of Gu Di. The contents of official documents were the same, written half in Ying language and half in Shinese.

Kamagawa Zhushui took one of them and shook it in front of Gu Di. He hooked his lips.

"Since you admitted that you were Huanan He, the Ninth Prince, you signed these two documents. I will let you and your people leave Ying State immediately."

Gu Di smiled contemptuously, picked up the other copy, and looked at it briefly.

Gu Di looked cold and smiled.

"Well. You lured me into Yuanya Palace. First, you lured me with beauties, and then you tried all kinds of tricks. Is it to force me to sign this treaty of island ownership and cede Kunhuang Island to your Ying State?"

Gu Di's eyes suddenly raised and stared at the Empress Dowager sitting on the top.

The woman was immediately ashamed. She was speechless and waved her hand hastily, her face embarrassed and sad.

"No, Your Highness, don't get me wrong. This..."

She was terrified to see Kamagawa Zhushui waving a gesture and suddenly didn't speak. Her eyebrows and eyes twitched a few times, and she could only hang her head helplessly.

Kamagawa Zhushui hummed proudly and turned to Gu Di.

He slapped the table with his big black rough hand, and the cups, bowls, and dishes on it immediately trembled twice.

At this moment, Kamagawa Zhushui looked thoroughly ferocious. He pointed to Gu Di, stared round his fierce eyes, and spoke in a strong tone.

"If you can understand the terms of the document, you'd better sign quickly! If you don't dare to sign, you're a fake. When I catch you, I'll ask the Emperor of Da Yi for an explanation!"

At the same time, the warriors sitting on the twenty seats opposite Gu Di acted in a uniform manner. They bent over and took out their long swords from under the table, eager to stare at Gu Di.

A total of 20 people accompanied Gu Di to the banquet. Ten of them were the Honour Guards, including Captain Zhu while the rest were the disciples of the Tianyan Faction who pretended to be the guards of the Ninth Prince's Mansion in order to protect Gu Di all the way to Ying State.

Before going to the banquet, Captain Zhu knew that the banquet was dangerous.

People of Ying State hosted a banquet for them. It was clear that the banquet was full of danger. Therefore, he and his men were always vigilant.

Seeing that the situation changed in an instant, Captain Zhu pressed the weapon hidden between his waist and ribs with both hands. After making quick eye contact with his men, he turned to Gu Di and waited for action.

The situation became very tense at this time. The air seemed to be sealed quietly, and the sense of depression was suffocating.

Fortunately, they had made arrangements in advance.

Gu Di had his own plan. He nodded slightly. His eyes flashed, and his face became cold.

"Is this the way you treat guests in Ying State? If I sign this document, you can use it to coerce His Majesty of our country."

"If I refuse to sign, you will question my identity as false. Then you will catch me and continue to threaten His Majesty of our country."

"No matter what I do, you have every reason to threaten His Majesty of our country. You are no different from robbers!"

"You are the Ninth Uncle of Emperor Renxian. Who will sign if you don't sign?"

Kamagawa Zhushui lost his patience. He directly took out a short blade from his clothes, put it against the throat of Gu Di, and screamed.

"Do you sign or not?"

The twenty warriors at the banquet pulled their swords out of their scabbards. Accompanied by the metal sharpening sound of the sword, another fifty warriors in armor rushed into the hall with ferocious faces and long swords in their hands.

Despite his anger, Captain Zhu did not make any resistance.

Huanan Xin had ordered him to kill the Ninth Prince on the way back from Ying State.

Seeing that the warriors of Ying State were attacking Gu Di, Captain Zhu thought that this was a good opportunity to kill him.

He intended to continue to wait and see how the situation would develop.

Gu Di smiled wildly. He looked down at the sharp blade in front of his throat and said in a low voice.

"Your Excellency, to tell you the truth, I will never sign this document. If you are sure that you can kill me with only a knife, you can have a try."

"How dare you say this?"

In the scream of Empress Dowager Yuanya, Kamagawa Zhushui's eyes were sharp and his hands strengthened.

However, his plan failed.

It seemed that an invisible force controlled his hand holding the blade. No, more specifically, it controlled his whole body, making him unable to move his limbs or move at will.

It seemed that countless sharp ice spikes invisible to the naked eyes appeared in the air, which penetrated into his body and made him cold and painful.

With a puzzled expression on his face, Kamagawa Zhushui stared at Gu Di, who pulled the corner of his lips indifferently. Gu Di’s right arm shook easily.

A force threw Kamagawa Zhushui into the air and slammed him back to his seat.

When he landed, his tall and burly body smashed the low-footed square dining table to pieces.

Kamagawa Zhushui screamed with pain.

"Kill him. This man is not Huanan He. Kill him for me!"

Gu Di smiled contemptuously, put his hands on his back, and said a word.

"Action."

Just as the ten bodyguards took out their weapons, two groups of warriors of Ying State with iron faces and armor poured into the reception hall from the second floor and the outer courtyard of Yuanya Palace. They were as powerful as flood, with enough 200 people.

In an instant, the spacious hall became a crowded and narrow battlefield, filled with blood, metal impact sound, shouting, and wailing, which completely suppressed the frightened and helpless cry of women and children.

Within a moment, the bloody smell dissipated and the scene returned to tranquility.

The floor was full of dead bodies. They were warriors summoned by Kamagawa Zhushui, as well as Captain Zhu and his men.

Kamagawa Zhushui was kneeling in the corner of the wall. There were five or six cold sharp long swords around his neck. Several wounds on his body were bleeding.

He couldn't figure out how the warriors of Ying State would betray their country and dare to rush into the hall with murder weapons to kill their compatriots?

At this time, the victorious warriors took off their iron masks and bowed down to Gu Di.

"Master, I am glad to see you safe and sound."

They were 200 disciple killers of the Tianyan Faction who received an urgent order last night and pretended to be warriors of Ying State to enter Yuanya Palace.

The iron mask was a sign of their disguise. Once they took action, their targets were those "colleagues" without masks and the Imperial Guards in the uniforms of Honour Guards of Da Yi!

"To be honest, if you and I were colleagues, now you have died in my hands."

Gu Di stepped on the blood of the ground and came to Kamagawa Zhushui. After saying that coldly, he tore up the document and threw the pieces on his face.

With the support of the bodyguards, he walked to the door. Behind him, a woman asked questions in a hurry, with a reluctant mood.

"Wait a minute! Will we meet again?"

Gu Di stopped a little and answered firmly.

"Never."
