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

Chapter 17 Going and Returning

After seeing Zhao Erniang off, Gu Ping'an stuck his head out to look around, then closed the doors and windows tightly before returning to his grandmother.

Hearing the noise, Old Lady Gu put down the teacup she was warming her hands with and asked softly, "Ping An, is there anything important to tell me?"

"you"

Gu Ping'an was stunned. He didn't expect his grandmother to be so thoughtful.

"Indeed, grandson has something to discuss with grandmother."

"Did you get into trouble outside?"

When she asked this question, Gu Ping'an was even more surprised.

Since traveling through time, he had hardly spent time with his grandmother. Even when they talked, they only talked about family matters, and he couldn't see anything unusual.

This is also the impression left by the original owner.

"It's not a disaster," Gu Ping'an hesitated for a moment, but temporarily suppressed his doubts and talked about business first. "It should be considered a minor hidden danger. I'm worried that this matter will implicate my family, so I want to take you away from Daxing Prefecture and find a new place to live."

He was afraid that his grandmother would worry, so he didn't plan to tell the whole truth for the time being.

"it is good."

She agreed without hesitation, making all the excuses Gu Ping'an had prepared useless.

"Then," he said after a long pause, "there's no time to lose. I'll help you pack your luggage right away."

"Don't bother. You can buy these sundries anywhere," the old lady said generously. "Just take the official leather trunk under your bed and the tablets of your parents."

Official suitcase?
Gu Ping'an went back to the room to look for it, and indeed found a small box with clever design and good material under the bed.

The journey was smooth. The grandfather and grandson left the city gate and headed west, arriving at the dilapidated temple they had agreed to meet before dusk.

The temple door was closed, but one could faintly hear voices talking inside.

Gu Ping'an knocked on the temple door several times, three times hard and three times lightly, and soon someone came to open the door.

"It's Master Gu!"

Mu Nianci opened the door and confirmed that the person coming was Gu Ping'an. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't hide the joy on her face.

Gu Ping'an smiled at her and helped his grandmother into the temple.

"Did you have a smooth journey?"

"Thank you for your concern, Taoist priest. I didn't encounter any trouble. Our plan went very smoothly and no one in the palace noticed anything." Gu Ping'an nodded in response.

"That's very good." Ma Yu stroked his long beard and said gently, "Young Master Gu, this must be your grandmother, right?"

"Exactly."

"My dear heroes, I am honored to meet you."

The old grandmother greeted everyone with grace and grace. She didn't look like an ordinary old woman in the market at all, but rather like someone who was well-informed.

Gu Ping'an introduced Yang Tiexin's family and the three Quanzhen disciples to her, and she responded one by one.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the old lady was particularly close to Mu Nianci.

Mu Nianci seemed to notice something and couldn't help but steal a glance at Gu Ping'an, then lowered her head shyly.

As it was getting dark, Gu Ping'an was in a hurry to return to the palace and couldn't stay here for long.

"In that case, I entrust my grandmother to you." He clasped his hands together and bowed deeply to the three of them.

Qiu Chuji stepped forward and helped him up, nodding solemnly: "Don't worry, Young Master Gu, we will do our best to protect Old Madam Gu!"

For several days thereafter, the entire Zhao Palace was covered in mourning.

Wanyan Honglie was not an upright gentleman, but he was truly sincere to Bao Xiruo, so much so that even the important matter of stealing Wu Mu's posthumous letter was temporarily put on hold.

In comparison, although Yang Kang was genuinely sad for a few days, he did not dwell on it for too long.

One day, he suddenly came to Gu Ping'an mysteriously.

"Brother Gu, please follow me. I have a gift for you."

Gift?

Gu Ping'an was stunned when he heard this. Why would he send a gift for no reason?
But seeing that Yang Kang could hardly hide his delight, he became curious about what he was up to, so he patiently followed him out of the room.

The two walked along the courtyard corridor, and the place felt more and more familiar. The place Yang Kang took him to was the iron prison where Yang Tiexin and his daughter were imprisoned.

Is the truth revealed? !

Gu Ping'an was startled and wanted to escape on the spot, but he quickly dismissed the idea.

Yang Kang looked excited, but it didn't seem like he was teasing her intentionally after his secret was exposed. Instead, it seemed more like he was showing off and trying to win her over.

Suppressing his panic, Gu Ping'an followed him into the yard.

It was still the same cell as last time. Yang Kang stopped outside the door again, raised his eyebrows, and made a "please" gesture.

"Brother Gu, don't worry. I guarantee with my life that this gift will definitely suit your heart."

He said this with a solemn oath, a knowing smile in his eyes.

This smile seems familiar.
Gu Ping'an was secretly on guard against possible sneak attacks and gently pushed open the cell door.

Fortunately, there was only one person in the cell.

But
She was dressed in a crimson dress, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and her gaze was full of light.
Mu Nianci? !

She clearly went to Mount Zhongnan, so why did she suddenly appear here?

Hearing the sound of the prison door, Mu Nianci looked in the direction of the sound and a hint of joy flashed across her face.

"you"

Gu Ping'an didn't know how to start for a moment, but he heard Yang Kang's slightly greasy voice coming from outside the door again.

"Brother Gu, are you satisfied with this gift?"

"Satisfied! Of course I'm satisfied!"

Gu Ping'an's mind raced, he made a "silence" gesture to Mu Nianci and replied loudly.

"Since you are satisfied, I will leave this beauty to you, my brother. If you want to take her back to her room, just let your personal guard know."

"Thank you, little prince!"

"With such a beautiful lady by my side, I won't stay and spoil the fun!" Hearing his thanks, Yang Kang smiled with satisfaction and said as he walked away, "Brother Gu, please do as you please!"

Hearing his footsteps gradually fading away, both people in the room breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss Nianci, why are you here?" Gu Ping'an took two steps forward and asked in a low voice.

"I, I." Mu Nianci's cheeks gradually turned red. She said "I" for a long time but didn't know how to start.

"Forget it, this is not the place to talk. Just pretend to faint and cooperate with me."

Gu Ping'an asked her to lie down beside the iron bars and called the guard outside the door in.

"Brother, please open the cell door. This place is dirty. I will take the beauty back to her room."

The guard had received Yang Kang's instructions and opened the prison door as he was told. He secretly glanced at the girl in the red dress lying on the ground, and thought that Young Master Gu was being too impatient.

"Thank you." Gu Ping'an nodded to the guard, quietly handed over a piece of silver, picked up Mu Nianci and carried her out of the cell.

The guard chuckled, carefully put away the silver, and went back to save Yang Kang.

Back in the room, Gu Ping'an gently put Mu Nianci down and turned around to close the doors and windows.

After being carried horizontally by him all the way, Mu Nianci was already so embarrassed that she could no longer control herself, and her pretty face was completely red.

"I'm sorry for any offense I've caused in a hurry, I hope you'll forgive me."

"It's okay," Mu Nianci shook her head gently, her voice as soft as a mosquito.

"Why did the young lady suddenly return to the palace? Did something go wrong with Uncle Yang?" Gu Ping'an asked anxiously, as there was no need to worry about eavesdropping in the room.

Seeing his nervous expression, Mu Nianci didn't care about being shy and quickly told him the truth.

“I came back secretly.”
