C89 Deep Mastermind Hongmen Banquet

Duke Huai An stood on the stage and looked at the people with different expressions. Only they knew whether this blessing was genuine or not. He did not mind it and allowed everyone to take a seat.

The moment the bell rang, music began to sound. A few charming dancers quickly came in and danced along with the music.

Duke Huai An raised his glass and said, "Today is the first day of my birth, so I specially invited everyone to join in the celebration!"

Everyone raised their glasses and gave a long toast.

After the song and dance of the first match ended, a handsome youth came up. Duke Huai An introduced, "This is something raised by this king. Today, I will perform a sword dance for everyone."

That young man was wearing a light muslin robe, his body was slim, and there was a charming look in his eyes. His sword danced in the air, and his eyes were full of charm.

The youth was quite capable. When he brandished his sword, every gesture was filled with power. However, there was also a trace of gentleness in them. Unknowingly, they had also become quite charming and captivating.

After the dance ended, applause rang out from all directions. Only Yang Chunzi was the most enthusiastic with the applause. He even shouted, "Well done!"

Duke Huai An looked at him in confusion, "If Fourth Young Master Yang likes it, after today, this little thing can be gifted to you, Fourth Young Master."

Yang Chunzi laughed loudly, "Of course, thank you for your love."

Duke Huai An laughed presumptuously, "As long as Fourth Young Master is able to avert some danger for the city."

Only some people understood the meaning behind the two people's riddle. Yang Chunzi smiled and agreed.

Duke Huai An gave another toast, and everyone returned the toast.

Jiu Jiu, the banquet watched the dance and listened to the music, and all sorts of beautiful dancers accompanied it. It was quite a beautiful scene, but the banquet had different thoughts, so it was unknown whether or not it was genuine.

At this time in Huai An Prefecture, a few people dressed in soldier's clothing were stealthily walking all over the place. They slit the throats of all the attendants the guests had brought and threw their corpses into a small room.

"Report, we didn't find the person that Jing Wang and his men brought."

When the leader of the group heard this news, his brows tightened and he berated in a low voice, "Trash! "Hurry up and find it for me."

That person accepted the order and hurried down. What they didn't know was that outside of the house of the Marquis, there were people surrounding them. They all had weapons in their hands as they prepared to attack.

After three rounds of drinking, some of them were still feeling dizzy from the alcohol. Quite a few of them directly collapsed onto the tables, their wine cups falling to the floor from the slapping.

Waiting until everyone had fallen, Duke Huai An clapped his hands. A few armed men came in and cut off the necks of these musicians and dancers. They didn't even have time to scream before they fell to the ground.

"Gentlemen, there's no need to pretend." Duke Huai An stood up, and with a hoarse voice, his bright voice echoed within the hall.

After this shout, Song Que, Gu Jingcheng, Yang Chunzi, and Bai Lanxin all raised their heads. Duke Huai An was somewhat surprised to see two more people.

"Kill the others." Duke Huai An pointed at the group of people who were bewitched and commanded.

Upon seeing those people walk forward, the knife cut their throats, and their lives disappeared. Blood flowed all over the floor.

Gu Jing Cheng said, "Master Hou, aren't you being too impatient? Could it be that the person you want to kill the most isn't us?"

Duke Huai An laughed loudly, "Of course, I naturally want to kill you." He raised his eyebrows. "But you can choose not to die."

The corner of Gu Jing Cheng's mouth raised slightly as he raised his brows: "What kind of deal?"

"I want you to stay here forever and tell the Emperor that everything is fine here."

Song Que coldly humphed: "If we really were to resign, we would only be waiting for one blow."

Duke Huai An laughed until his body was shaking, and pretended to be sincere: "How is that possible, I really cherish talent. If my country is built in the future, you are welcome to come."

"Do you think so?" Song Que looked at him coldly. He looked at Duke Huai An as if he was looking at a dog. This angered Duke Huai An.

Duke Huai An said lightly, "Since Master Song is fighting to the death like this, this marquis will grant your wish."

The group of soldiers moved forward. Song Que took out a military seal and asked, "The military seal is here. Who are you listening to?"

Duke Huai An gave a cold snort, "That day when I stole the military seal, I changed the appearance of the military seal that very night. You were lying when you said that. Do you think I'm really stupid?"

Song Que had guessed that. He kicked the ground and the table flew towards the soldiers.

Seeing that Song Que had made his move, they started to attack together. Song Que picked up a flute and played it as he ran. Qing Feng heard and ordered his men to charge in.

This was the start of a free-for-all. Although Duke Huai An had more people, Song Lianhe and the others were elites. They were actually on par with each other.

Song Que held a large bow in his hand and aimed it at Duke Huai An. Without hesitation, he shot an arrow. Duke Huai An did not have enough time to dodge and pulled a soldier by his side. That soldier was pierced through the heart by an arrow before he could even scream.

Duke Huai An casually threw his body away, "Trash!"

"Charge!"

In the small courtyard, under the dark night and the faint moonlight, swords and shadows were flashing everywhere. Song Que had specially found a good position and was prepared to kill Duke Huai An.

Duke Huai An saw that the situation was not good for him, so he immediately ordered someone to protect him. In the blink of an eye, he did not know what to do.

Song Que and his men went to chase him. When they arrived at the entrance of the water storage passageway, Duke Huai An was nowhere to be seen.

"Since there is no way out, let everyone in the city accompany me!" Duke Huai An suddenly stood out and roared loudly, but his men showed no mercy and turned the switch on the waterway fiercely.

The reason for the existence of this reservoir was because of the fear of a drought. This region of the Jiang and Huai regions was situated in a very good situation. Rain was a common occurrence. The water had been stored for a long time and was ready to flood the entire city.

A knife was aimed at Duke Huai An's chest, but Duke Huai An did not have the time to react, and there was no shield around him. When the knife stabbed into his chest, he did not even have time to react before he fell into the water, and his blood had already dyed the entire pool.

Song Que didn't have time to stop them. The water rushed towards them. They didn't even have time to react and were washed away by the water.

In an instant, water flooded the city. Some people who were sleeping didn't even have time to react before they were flooded. They didn't have time to react and died in the water.

Everyone in Gu Jing City were fighting when they saw the roaring waves of the ocean rush towards them. At this moment, no one had time to fight and they all ran for their lives.

"What happened?!" Gu Jingcheng roared as he ran.

At first, no one answered him, but then Yang Chunzi's voice came back, "The reservoir has been released!"

"What kind of person is he, he's going to drown me now!" Gu Jingcheng suddenly remembered that it was the Song Qi river that couldn't swim …
