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

Chapter 167 Make another bet
Having said this, Temujin no longer concealed the truth.

"At that time, my alliance with Zhao and Song had already been completed. How could it be considered a breach of contract if I went south to attack Song?"

Poor Guo Jing, before he had the time to apologize to him in his heart, he was struck by lightning again.

The Great Khan actually wanted to destroy the Song Dynasty?!

Gu Pingan glanced at the pitch-black outer tent and heard Guo Jing's breathing hitch, knowing that he had heard everything he said clearly.

Temujin's heroic spirit gradually rose in his heart, and he spoke coldly and sternly.

"I underestimated your ability to sneak into my tent without making any noise. If you are afraid that I will destroy Song in the future, then you should act now."

He thought he would die today, but he saw Gu Ping'an gently shaking his head.

"I'm here today just to be a lobbyist."

"Lobbyist?"

"Your vision is too shortsighted to focus solely on Bashu and the Central Plains. Has the Khan ever heard of the vast expanse of land westward or northward from Western Liao?"

Genghis Khan's great achievements in the westward expedition are a highlight in history books. Although Gu Ping'an is not very well-versed in history, he must read the textbook.

It would be a pity if this achievement was destroyed by him in one stroke.

"Westward? Do you mean Khwarazm?"

"Not only that," Gu Ping'an said with a faint smile, "In addition to the Kipchak and Rus kingdoms in the north, Khwarezm to the west is an even richer land."

Temujin couldn't tell the truth from the false and looked suspicious for a moment.

"This place is called Europe, and it's filled with tiny countries. Adding them all together, their land and population are several times greater than those of the Jin and Song dynasties combined."

"What do you mean by this?"

"Europe is nothing but a bunch of uncivilized fools. With the might of the Mongol army, these small countries can be easily conquered."

Gu Ping'an spoke enthusiastically and patiently.

"The Mongol army took the rich land wherever it went, so why would the Khan bother to plot against the Zhao and Song dynasties?"

Temujin looked at him coldly and said, "How can I believe what you said without any evidence?"

Gu Ping'an was stunned at first, then he burst out laughing.

"I'm afraid the Khan has misunderstood. I've been patiently nagging you all this time, and it's all for your own good."

As he spoke, his expression changed, and in an instant he became murderous.

"Do you have the right not to believe it? Or rather, do you have a choice?"

Not only was his tone cold when he asked this question, but he also used his internal energy in the manner of the Nine Yin Soul Transferring Technique, and his voice seemed to carry some kind of magic.

Temujin felt a buzzing in his head, sweat broke out on his forehead, and a look of confusion flashed across his eyes.

"Let's assume that what you said is true. Then, what exactly is your purpose in coming here tonight?"

"I told you, I'm a lobbyist."

The murderous aura on Gu Ping'an disappeared instantly, and his tone became gentle again.

"I have come here tonight to advise the Khan to withdraw his troops from the Jin Kingdom within six months and never look back. The West is a vast land, open to you."

"This is impossible!"

Temujin suddenly became furious, his eyes wide open and staring at him.

"Don't be so hasty to say this. I have already given you the necessary advice. Great Khan, please think twice."

Gu Ping'an played with the golden knife in his hand, his tone calm, without a trace of emotion.

"The Khan has seen my abilities. If you insist on going your own way, your life, the lives of the four princes, and even the lives of all the generals may not be saved."

"Do you think you can escape today?"

Gu Ping'an seemed to have heard a joke, laughed twice, and said again.

"If the Khan dies now, by the time the guards change shifts in half an hour, we four will have already escaped to who knows where."

Temujin's face was gloomy and he was filled with resentment, but he had to admit that he was right.

"What's more, even if I don't take action today, if I can enter your tent once, I can enter it a second time. Do you believe it?" "No!"

Temujin shook his head without hesitation and said firmly.

"If I send a large army to surround this place, even if you have great abilities, can you kill all my thousands of warriors?"

Gu Ping'an curled his lips and smiled: "Does the Khan want to make another bet?"

"Just bet!"

"Alright! Then let's make a bet based on what I just said. What do you think, Khan?"

"Why not? If you can still break in, I will do as you said and withdraw my troops from the Jin Kingdom in six months."

Temujin held his head high and looked proud, full of heroism.

"Fifty years, no! Within a hundred years, the Mongol army will never turn back! But you said you lost, and were captured by my guards, so what?"

Gu Ping'an looked at his confident look and smiled even more.

"My life isn't worth much. If the Khan wants to take it, then take it. If you want to keep it, then let's keep it as before. Nianci and I will be at your disposal. Even if it means leading an army to attack the Song Dynasty, we won't hesitate."

"Okay! It's a deal!"

Temujin was full of enthusiasm and took the initiative to raise his hand to make an alliance with him.

"Three days from now, it will still be midnight. The Khan had better make full preparations in advance."

Gu Ping'an handed the golden knife back to him and left calmly. His voice was heard again from the dark outer tent.

"By the way, the Khan's guards are still lying in the snow today. We'll send someone to rescue them soon. They'll take a hot bath and not lose their lives."

He was not worried that Temujin would send a large army to attack overnight. Firstly, he was confident that he could escape, and secondly, he knew him well.

After all, Genghis Khan was not as sinister a villain as Wanyan Honglie, and he was extremely confident in the bet. As a great leader, he would not be so magnanimous as to not have this little bit of magnanimity.

Half an hour later, in Gu Ping'an and Mu Nianci's tent.

"Brother Guo, do you believe my words now?"

Guo Jing had been sitting there in a daze for a while, and even when he asked the question, he acted as if he didn't hear it.

Huang Rong was worried that he might have some problems, so she gently pushed him on the shoulder.

"what?"

The future hero looked up in confusion.

"Brother Gu asked if you believe him now."

Guo Jing smiled bitterly and nodded: "I believe it, I believe it, but I really can't believe that the Khan is so unfaithful."

"There's no such thing as loyalty and trust between family, country, and the world. It would be strange if he could really resist not offending the Zhao and Song dynasties."

"Then your bet with him is meaningless, isn't it?"

Gu Ping'an shook his head gently: "This is different. If he loses this bet, it's not because he doesn't want to break the contract, but because he doesn't dare."

"Don't dare."

The three of them seemed to be thinking about something, and Gu Ping'an asked again.

"Brother Guo, your worries are gone. After this matter is over, will you stay and repay me?"

"I was foolish and stubborn before, but fortunately you, Brother Gu, woke me up in time."

Guo Jing looked embarrassed and smiled apologetically.

"Once you win the bet, let's go back together."

Hearing that he had finally made up his mind, Huang Rong was completely relieved, but she was still worried and couldn't help but ask.

"But if he really sends thousands of people to guard the camp, let alone the four of us, even if the five greatest masters of the world come together, we won't be able to get through so many people!"

Mu Nianci also cast a glance over. She was naturally more concerned about Gu Ping'an's safety, but she had always trusted him wholeheartedly, so she didn't ask any questions.

Gu Pingan smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, the hermit has a clever plan."
