Chapter 940: Going to the Palace Banquet
The sky was getting dark and everything was properly arranged. Ning Fan also put on a plain gown and went out with Qiao Feng.
Dianwei has been singing and singing every night these past few days, and his life has been very lively.
However, it is enough to have Qiao Feng at tonight's banquet. After all, a big drama is going on and he wants to join in the fun.
"Your Highness, this is the envoy token of the Satake family."
"With this token, you can enter and leave the palace."
"Um!"
Ning Fan took the token and walked all the way towards Yingzhou Palace.
"stop!"
As soon as they arrived in front of the palace, they were stopped by the guards before showing their tokens because their clothes were different from ordinary people.
"idiot!"
Ning Fan took out the tradition of the little Baga and slapped the guard on the face twice, one on the left and one on the right. The latter had a look of panic on his face.
"I am an envoy personally sent by Lord Satake, here to wish Emperor Ying a birthday. Do you dare to stop me?"
"Hai!"
The guard lowered his head to admit his mistake. Qiao Feng waved the sign, and the surrounding Ying people also looked in awe.
The Satake family is one of the largest vassal families in Yingzhou, and even the Yingzhou royal family has to pay three points of thin noodles.
The two entered the Ying Palace very smoothly. Guards guided them along the way, and soon arrived at the banquet hall tonight.
More than ten women in kimonos were waiting in front of a case. Ning Fan was led by the attendants to a seat near the front and knelt down.
A moment.
I saw an old man in a yellow robe striding into the banquet with a plump woman, followed by a crowd of palace people.
Ning Fan was also stunned for a moment, he did not expect that Lao Baga's concubine would be so young and beautiful.
And she looks extremely delicate, with a plump figure and a tall figure...
"See His Majesty the Emperor."
"Gentlemen, please take a seat."
Ning Fan reluctantly knelt down and looked at the people in front of the banquet. On the left were a group of relatives of the emperor. The few children in the head should be the sons of Emperor Ying.
The one on the right is a tall, middle-aged man who is not angry and has no authority. He should be the shogun of the contemporary shogunate, Oda Shinichi.
The banquet began with the Queen's speech, followed by singing and dancing.
Ning Fan looked at it calmly, admiring the exotic scenery.
"Gentlemen, please drink."
A slender, agile and charming girl suddenly walked over from behind and came directly to Yinghuang's side.
Emperor Ying introduced to everyone dotingly that this was his youngest daughter, the prince-in-law Akita Shinomeko.
A young man behind Oda Shinichi stood up and walked towards Qiu Xiaoxiao, and was introduced by a shogunate official next to Ning Fan.
The royal family of Yingzhou married the shogunate Oda family. The eldest son of Akita Shinomeko and Oda Shinichi...
Ning Fan stopped listening after that.
Just as the palace was singing and dancing, a guard hurried in and said in panic: "Your Majesty, the palace is on fire. Someone deliberately set it on fire!"
Suddenly, the entire palace was in chaos. Emperor Ying looked at the guard beside him with a gloomy face and shouted: "Go and check what's going on!"
"Gentlemen, continue playing music!"
"Hai!"
There were noisy footsteps outside the palace, and a servant quickly walked up to Oda Nobuichi. After whispering, Oda Nobuichi's expression suddenly changed.
"idiot!"
"Who dares to touch my shogunate officials?"
"Send out the personal guards and make sure to arrest these thieves."
"Hai!"
Seeing Emperor Ying and Oda Shinichi changing their expressions one after another, the corners of Ning Fan's mouth turned up slightly, and all the officials also looked thoughtful.
After a while, a general wearing armor rushed in hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, a group of soldiers attacked the palace and have now rushed into the palace gate."
"idiot!"
Before Emperor Ying could speak, Oda Shinichi took the lead and stood up.
"Your Majesty, I will go and investigate!"
"No need!"
Ning Fan stood up slowly, winked at Qiao Feng beside him, and said with a slight smile: "Oda-kun, this is the first time we meet, I have admired you for a long time!"
"Um?"
Suddenly, the entire palace banquet looked towards Ning Fan.
I saw Qiao Feng's body swept over, and came directly to Yinghuang's side, and grabbed him. The whole audience looked shocked.
you
"They are... sent by the Satake family."
"Is the Satake family going to rebel?"
"idiot!"
A series of noisy voices sounded, and there was chaos outside. Everyone in the palace banquet obviously did not expect that someone would make trouble in the palace.
Emperor Ying also looked terrified when Qiao Feng held him hostage.
"Who are you?"
Oda Shinichi stared at Ning Fan coldly. His clothes were really out of place. He had previously been covered by his identity as an envoy of the Satake family, and Ning Fan was like a transparent person, so no one noticed him.
But now, Oda Shinichi is obviously suspicious of him.
"who I am?"
"Ning Fan is the crown prince of Dayu!"
Ning Fan revealed his identity in fluent Ying dialect, and all the ministers at the palace banquet looked frightened.
"impossible!"
"How dare you, the majestic Prince Yu, touch our Yingzhou in person?"
"Who are you and what is your purpose here?"
Oda Shinichi was still staring at him, but Ning Fan walked towards him unhurriedly and said with a smile: "What, could this Yingzhou be a dragon's pond and a tiger's den? How can I not come here?"
"Hahaha!"
Oda Shinichi laughed out loud, and said excitedly: "God really helps my Great Ying. No matter whether you are the prince of Dayu or not, today, you have fallen into the trap, and no one can save you!"
"Come here!"
The soldiers behind Oda Shinichi stepped forward together, but Ning Fan glanced in the direction of Emperor Ying, and Qiao Feng also pinched Emperor Ying's neck: "Who dares to do it?"
For a moment, the guards were also in trouble. Their Emperor Ying was held hostage, and the shogun was obviously...
"Stop it!"
Emperor Ying was a little difficult to breathe, but he still screamed with all his might.
The princes also looked at Qiao Feng nervously. Oda Shinichi's face darkened: "What conditions do you have? I can discuss with you slowly. Let go of His Majesty the Emperor first."
"Okay!"
"I want your head."
Ning Fan looked at him with a smile, looking fearless, while Oda Shinichi showed some sarcasm: "Although His Majesty the Emperor is in your hands, there are many masters in my Ying Palace. If His Majesty makes any mistakes!"
"I will definitely cut you into pieces!"
"You are the dignified Prince Dayu, you should not That's how stupid he would be!"
"That's right!"
Ning Fan nodded in agreement, looked at Emperor Ying and asked seriously: "Your Majesty, I only want Oda Shinichi's head. As long as you send someone to take him down, I will agree to negotiate peace with Yingzhou!"
"Now, my 100,000-strong army of Dayu has captured Akamaru Island. It won't be long before they will attack Edo!"
"Inside Edo Castle, my personal guards are also attacking the gates. After tonight, Edo will fall into my hands. How about you think about it?"
