The Legend of the Condor Heroes: I became one of the Five Great Masters by drawing cards

Chapter 147 Goodbye Yang Kang
"To repay Temujin's kindness?"

"Exactly."

Guo Jing nodded, his expression seemed a little unnatural.

"When we came from Niujia Village, we met Tuolei Anda on the way and chatted with him for a while."

Gu Ping'an looked at his expression and guessed what they were talking about.

"If I'm not mistaken, Tolui is delivering a message for Temujin, right?"

"Exactly. I thought the Khan would be furious when he heard I brought my mother back to the Central Plains, but my brother-in-law said that not only was he not angry, but he actually praised me for my filial piety."

"What else did he say?"

"He said the Khan praised me as a born eagle on the grasslands. He has always treated me like his own son. Even though I don't believe him now, he still recognizes me as his 'Golden Sword Prince Consort'."

When Guo Jing said this, he glanced at Huang Rong secretly and continued.

"Of course I don't want to be a 'Golden Sword Prince Consort'. I want to marry Rong'er. But the Khan has been so kind to me, I can't betray him."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ping'an also looked at Huang Rong. Temujin simply saw that Guo Jing was a brave general. This moral kidnapping could be used to deceive a silly boy like him, but how could Huang Rong, the "female Zhuge Liang", be fooled?

Huang Rong felt his gaze and shrugged, her expression seeming to be an answer.

Of course I wasn't fooled. I just talked to him and tried to persuade him, but he was as stubborn as an old ox. What could I do?
Seeing that he remained silent, Guo Jing continued, "Tolui Anda said that Khwarezm in the west has been making repeated provocations, the Khan intends to march west, and the war with the Jin Kingdom cannot be stopped. It is a good time to use people."

Gu Ping'an nodded to show that he understood.

"It's a good thing that you have feelings and righteousness, I won't stop you."

Huang Rong didn't understand why he changed his mind and couldn't help but want to speak, but she heard him continue.

"However, I heard in Lin'an that the old poisoner and the group of masters who once served under Wanyan Honglie have also defected to Mongolia. This journey is dangerous, so Nianci and I will go with you."

He talked about the execution of the treacherous prime minister and his son in Lin'an, and told the two the news that Sha Tongtian had said before his death.

Guo Jing is already quite powerful now, but he is still slightly inferior to Ouyang Feng. If Liang Ziweng and others join in the attack, it will be difficult for him to gain any benefits.

He originally wanted to say that Temujin and Ouyang Feng were not birds of a feather, and that he might not look down on them, but then he thought again, and realized that his guess might not be correct.

"Brother Gu's martial arts are far superior to mine. If you can come with us, the Khan will be delighted, and we won't have to fear Ouyang Feng and the others!"

"Okay, but I have something important to do on the way, so I have to go to Fengxiang Prefecture first."

"Well..." Guo Jing hesitated a little, "Why don't Rong'er and I go first, and you can come find us when you're done."

Gu Ping'an said with a smile, "The army's westward expedition is no small matter. Although we have some skills, it won't affect the overall situation. Temujin won't wait for you alone. Even if the army sets out, we will just rush to catch up."

"That makes sense." Guo Jing tilted his head and thought for a moment before nodding. "Okay, then when do we leave?"

"The day after tomorrow," Gu Ping'an said, "Before I leave, I have to meet someone."

"Who?"

"Your sworn brother, Yang Kang."

"Yang Kang?"

On Mount Zhongnan, in Chongyang Palace, Qiu Chuji said in surprise.

"I was surprised when you wanted him to come down the mountain to attend the wedding banquet. Why do you want to see him now?"

Gu Pingan smiled and took Mu Nianci's hand: "My relationship with Nianci is all thanks to him. I was unable to invite him to a wedding banquet, but I always felt that we should meet."

When he first came to invite the Seven True Masters, he also mentioned inviting Yang Kang, but Qiu Chuji was worried that Yang Kang was cunning and would take advantage of the chaos to escape, so he did not agree.

Seeing that Gu Ping'an insisted and that it was his credit to capture Yang Kang, Qiu Chuji hesitated for a moment and then stopped trying to stop him.

The three of them walked around several houses behind the hall and came to a row of houses built on the mountain.

Most of them were empty, and the one at the end had a closed door with a big lock on it, and two Taoist boys with swords were guarding it on the left and right.

"Greetings to Master Changchun!" The Taoist boy bowed and Qiu Chuji nodded, signaling the two to open the lock.

The furnishings in the room were a bit simple, but it was cleaned fairly well. There was a bed against the wall, a square table in the middle, two benches, teacups on the table, and an unopened food box.

There was a cushion under the window, and on it sat a man sitting cross-legged in a Taoist robe. It was Yang Kang.

Qiu Chuji looked at him, sighed softly, and turned to leave the house.

Hearing the voice, Yang Kang looked up, smiled at the two of them, and stood up.

"Brother Gu, Miss Mu, long time no see."

Gu Ping'an thought about his reaction when he saw him, either cursing or rushing over to fight, but this faint smile was a little unexpected to him.

"Why is the young prince wearing a Taoist robe?"

"Yang Kang has now become a Taoist monk, and his Taoist name is 'Qing Gai'. It is best not to address him as such, young prince."

Yang Kang's eyes were clearer than ever, and his tone was only slightly bitter.

"Please take a seat, we are here today..."

"Nianci and I got married a few days ago. Unfortunately, I couldn't invite you to the ceremony. I brought some wine today, so I'd like to invite you to have a drink."

"Congratulations!" Yang Kang smiled, seemingly sincerely congratulating him. "But I've already become a monk, so forget about the wine."

Gu Ping'an took the teacup on the table, poured three glasses of wine, and pushed one glass in front of him.

"Your master is also a cultivator, so doesn't he also not abstain from drinking?"

"That makes sense."

Yang Kang nodded thoughtfully, raised his glass and toasted the two of them.

"This glass of wedding wine is indeed worth drinking. I wish you two an everlasting marriage and a long and happy marriage."

"Thank you!"

After drinking a glass of wine, Gu Ping'an filled it up again and raised his glass again.

"This cup is a token of gratitude. Ultimately, our relationship is all thanks to Brother Yang."

Yang Kang recalled the initial late-night test and the subsequent arrangements made during the mission. He chuckled, accepted the toast calmly, and raised his head to toast.

"At first, I mistakenly thought Brother Gu was a lecher, but unexpectedly, it led to the marriage between the two of you. It can be considered a case of cause and effect."

"If it weren't for a few chance encounters, we wouldn't be where we are today."

"I'm a little curious. When Miss Mu was having the martial arts competition to find her husband, you chose that moment to make your move. You must have been afraid that I would flirt with her, right?"

Gu Ping'an nodded.

"That's right. I'm afraid you've already developed feelings for Miss Mu since then, right?"

Although Yang Kang had been deceived by him all the way and suffered losses at his hands repeatedly, he was not stupid and could not be deceived by such obvious signs.

Gu Ping'an nodded again, filled the glass with wine again, and raised it three times.

"This cup is an apology, but it's not because I caused you to fall into this situation, but because you trusted me in the beginning, and I lied to you all the way."

Yang Kang wanted to refuse the cup, but after hearing what he said next, he withdrew his raised hand.

After finishing the wine in the cup, he took the wine pot and poured three more cups.

"You apologized to me, but this cup is my way of thanking you."

　I don't know if the treatment of Yang Kang will arouse public anger. I always feel that this person is a well-rounded character. Although he is bad, he is essentially a playboy who has been taught a bad lesson and has received the punishment he deserves. I have tried my best to lay the groundwork in the beginning. If the expression is not good, I apologize in advance.
