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

Chapter 15 Reunion of husband and wife

The inn was the same as last time, with neither the owner nor the waiter at home. Yang Tiexin and his daughter, the three Quanzhen disciples, and the Six Freaks of Jiangnan were all gathered in the inn waiting for him.

Guo Jing and Huang Rong were not there, and no one knew where they had gone.

Seeing Gu Ping'an come in, Mu Nianci seemed to have something to say, but hesitated for a moment and didn't speak.

"Young Master Gu is here!" Qiu Chuji waved his hand and asked him to sit down.

Wang Chuyi sighed, "Young Master Gu's display today was truly remarkable. When it comes to finger techniques, I'm no match for you."

"Master, you are embarrassing me!" Gu Ping'an waved his hands repeatedly. "Today, I was just putting on an act in front of Wanyan Honglie. I offended two seniors. I feel extremely guilty."

"That's all right!" Qiu Chuji said with a magnanimous smile, "With your performance today, Wanyan Honglie will never suspect you again."

Several people praised him one after another, which made Gu Ping'an feel a little embarrassed and he quickly changed the subject.

"Why aren't Brother Guo and Miss Huang here?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the six monsters' faces all turned ugly.

Mu Nianci winked at him, signaling him not to mention the matter.

"Hmph!" The hot-tempered Ke Zhen'e snorted angrily, "That brat has been bewitched by the little witch and doesn't even recognize us as his master!"

The little witch was naturally referring to Huang Rong.

This girl and the Six Freaks also have strange tempers. They didn't have any conflict the day before yesterday, but they still ended up parting ways.

"Jing'er is not such an ignorant child. Master Ke, calm down. Let's talk business first."

This matter lasted for most of the day, and it took a lot of effort for everyone to calm down. Seeing that their anger was about to be ignited again, Wang Chuyi quickly got down to business.

"Today, when Brother Qiu and I left the palace, we discovered that the Jin people were secretly following us. We went all the way out of the west gate and didn't return in disguise until they left."

Qiu Chuji was also conservative in his thinking and was very angry about the incident between Guo Jing and Huang Rong, but when he saw his junior brother speaking, he had to suppress his anger.

"We walked carefully along the way and made sure no one was following us. The palace should no longer be wary of us."

"That's good." Gu Ping'an nodded and asked, "But I wonder where Senior Yang plans to go after rescuing Madam?"

Yang Tiexin was stunned for a moment, as if he had never thought about this question before.

"Maybe I should go back to Niujia Village." He thought about it and finally chose his former residence.

Gu Pingan shook his head: "I'm afraid Niujia Village is not a good place to go."

Everyone is puzzled.

"I heard in the palace that Wanyan Honglie first met Aunt Yang in Niujia Village, which is why that incident happened. After the plan was completed, I was worried that he would go to Niujia Village to pay his respects."

He paused, then continued, "If he meets you two in Niujia Village, I'm afraid all our efforts will be wasted."

Zhu Cong was the first to react and agreed, "Young Master Gu is right. Although Lin'an Prefecture belongs to the Song territory, Wanyan Honglie was able to order Duan Tiande around back then, so naturally there are Li Tiande and Wang Tiande now."

"That's right," Ma Yu also said, "In that case, you two might as well come back with us to Mount Zhongnan."

"Mount Zhongnan is the territory of the Quanzhen sect, and Chongyang Palace's reputation is far-reaching. Even if Wanyan Honglie knew the truth, he would definitely not dare to attack. Senior Yang might consider this."

This is the best choice at the moment, Gu Ping'an comforted.

The others also agreed. After some deep thought, Yang Tiexin agreed without much hesitation.

After he agreed, Gu Pingan said, "Three Taoists, I have something to ask of you."

"Young Master Gu, please feel free to speak." Qiu Chuji agreed without hesitation. "Brother Yang and his wife's affairs depend entirely on your help. If you need anything, we will do our best to help you."

Gu Ping'an didn't hesitate, "I still have concerns at home. Although my parents have passed away, I still have a blind grandmother." Before he could finish, the three of them understood. Ma Yu immediately asked, "Young Master Gu, do you want us to bring your grandmother back to Zhongnan Mountain with you?"

"That's right." Gu Ping'an said, "I can't always be a lackey of the Jin people. I'm just afraid that if my identity is revealed, it will inevitably implicate my grandmother. That's why I want to entrust her to someone I can trust."

"Young Master Gu is truly filial and thoughtful. He is truly a man of both virtue and talent." Qiu Chuji praised him for his filial piety and immediately took on his grandmother's affairs. "Leave your grandmother's affairs to us!"

"Thank you, three Taoist priests!"

Although Gu Ping'an knew that the three of them were moral people, he finally breathed a sigh of relief after getting the guarantee and finally getting his mind settled.

According to Quan Jinfa, the tung oil needed to start the fire has been prepared, and the female corpse needed as a replacement can be found tomorrow.

After some discussion, everyone finally decided to take action at midnight tomorrow.

The day passed quickly and in the blink of an eye it was the appointed time.

It was late at night and all was quiet in the palace. Gu Ping'an moved back and forth in the courtyard. After a few steps, he arrived at the mud house where the princess lived alone.

Bao Xiruo didn't like being served, so she had no maids or servants, and the night patrol soldiers rarely came here.

Soon, several figures vaguely appeared in the woods in the courtyard.

Gu Ping'an pursed his lips and imitated a bird's chirp, and several people quickly came over following the sound.

Seeing that he was about to salute, the leader immediately stopped him in a low voice.

"No need to be so polite, Young Master Gu, what's the situation here?"

Gu Ping'an didn't force himself to be polite. He nodded and said, "Let's wait here for half a cup of tea. After these guards leave, we have an hour to act."

In order to keep things secret, not many people came today, only Qiu Chuji, Ma Yu, Zhu Cong, and Yang Tiexin himself.

The five people hid in the shadows under the courtyard wall and waited patiently for a moment, then saw a team of personal soldiers patrolling along the path.

The place where they hid was a blind spot carefully selected by Gu Ping'an. No one could find them unless they went around to look.

When the footsteps gradually faded away, several people came out of their hiding place and quickly came to the window of the hut.

Yang Tiexin didn't know whether his wife would recognize him. He was confused and excited. He raised his hands to the window, trembling and raising and lowering them.

"Brother Yang, go quickly!" Qiu Chuji looked around and urged.

Finally making up his mind, Yang Tiexin took a deep breath, pushed open the window, and somersaulted in.

The oil lamp in the house had been extinguished long ago, and it was dark.

Soon a scream was heard, but fortunately the guards had already gone far away, and only the four people outside the door heard her cry.

After a while, the oil lamp was lit and faint sounds of conversation could be heard.

"The plowshare is broken. Tomorrow ask Zhang Mu'er from East Village to add a pound and a half of iron and beat it."

"Who are you? What's wrong with you?"

".I will go to the underworld with you. I am willing to be a ghost and be with you.
"Do you think I'm a ghost?"

"Brother Tie?! Aren't you dead? Aren't you..."

After eighteen years, the two people who loved each other finally met again, and they were filled with endless tenderness.

At this moment, someone shows up to spoil the fun.

Qiu Chuji came to the window and knocked twice, saying, "Brother Yang, time is running out, we must leave quickly!"
