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

Chapter 217 Outside Yanmen Pass
Not long after, the sound of horse hooves was heard again, but it was not from Ma Dayuan's widow Kang Min, but from an elderly couple.

The old man was short, but the old woman was tall and strong. They were Mr. and Mrs. Tan who had come specially after hearing the news from Elder Xu.

Qiao Feng hurried forward to pay his respects. Mr. and Mrs. Tan still didn't know what was going on today. Seeing that four magic knives were stuck in his shoulders, they pulled them out without saying a word and used the healing elixir they had carefully prepared to stop the bleeding.

After a few pleasantries, the crazy Zhao Qiansun also came riding a donkey. When he saw Tan Po, he quickly untied his bone-shrinking skills, turned over and got off the donkey, and eagerly approached her.

He had been in love with Mrs. Tan for most of his life, and finally had the chance to meet her again today. However, before he could say a few words, he was interrupted by the arrival of the iron-faced judge Shan Zheng and his family.

He was a crazy guy, and his temper was somewhat similar to that of the naughty old boy Zhou Botong. Out of dissatisfaction, he started to argue with him.

Even Kang Min's arrival failed to stop him from chattering.

After a while of arguing, Elder Xu finally couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted with a cough.

"We are all grateful for your presence today, but business is more important. Let's let Madam Ma finish her speech first, and then we can reminisce about the past."

Kang Min can easily captivate the hearts of so many men, she must have some seductive skills.

Putting aside her eloquence, she is also extremely beautiful in terms of figure and appearance.

She is now nearly forty years old, and her face is not made up, but she does not look old at all. Her skin is as smooth as a baby's, and she still looks like she is in her twenties.

Bai Shijing had not thought of remarrying in the twenty years since his wife passed away; although Duan Haiwang was a playboy, ordinary women were not in his eyes.

Although Kang Min failed to become the Princess of Zhennan, she was in no way inferior to Gan Baobao, Qin Hongmian and others.

A girl should be pretty and filial. She is wearing a plain white dress with lowered eyebrows, which makes her look delicate, weak and charming.

"The widow Mamen Kangshi, greets the gang leader and elders."

Qiao Feng and the others returned the greetings one by one, but Gu Ping'an uttered an "eh" and asked curiously, "Excuse my abruptness, but may I ask if your name is 'Min'?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Kang Min looked up and glanced at him, his eyes flashing slightly.

"May I ask who this gentleman is?"

"I came from the Dali Kingdom. I am the sworn brother of your gang leader. I just happened to encounter what happened today."

Gu Ping'an smiled politely and bowed to her.

"But back in the Dali Kingdom, I once heard Prince Duan Zhengchun, the Prince of Zhennan, mention an old friend, and his words were filled with regret."

Qiao Feng looked at him with doubt, but he ignored him and continued.

"This prince was a passionate man. He once formed a relationship with a woman, but unfortunately, they were not destined to be together. He considered this the greatest regret of his life."

Gu Ping'an secretly observed Kang Min's expression and saw that her face changed slightly.

Duan Haiwang is really capable. Even a ruthless person like Kang Min can't forget him.

"Later, I heard that the woman married a brave man from the Beggars' Sect named Ma, who also happened to be surnamed Kang. That's why I blurted out this question. I apologize for being so rude."

Gu Ping'an said this with an apologetic look on his face.

Duan Zhengchun left without saying goodbye, so he had no idea where Kang Min would end up. Naturally, what he said was just nonsense.

Even Ma Dayuan didn't know about Kang Min's past, let alone the others present. Everyone was curious, and for a moment no one really bothered with Gu Ping'an. Instead, Bai Shijing stared at Kang Min with a hint of anger on his face.

He is really hypocritical. He did the same thing as Cao, but he was angry about the old relationship between them more than ten years ago.

Qiao Feng wasn't one to gossip. He coughed lightly and said, "My sworn brother is a man of sentimental temperament, and his words may be unstructured. Please don't blame me, sister-in-law. Let's get down to business first."

Kang Min's face looked a little unnatural. She didn't dare to look at Gu Ping'an and continued speaking with all her strength.

"After I buried my late husband, I examined his belongings and found a letter sealed with wax. The cover had a line of words specially marked on it."

The text on the cover roughly means that if Ma Dayuan dies an unnatural death, this letter must be handed over to the elders of the gang to open and read together, and the words are extremely solemn.

Now he had died tragically at the hands of his own famous skills. It was clearly an unexpected death. When everyone heard this, they all looked awed.

"I knew this matter was extremely important, so I immediately went to see the gang leader and present him with the suicide note. Fortunately, he had already arrived in Jiangnan and didn't see the letter first."

fortunately?

There was a clear difference in the tone of her words. Except for Elder Xu and Gu Ping'an, who had read the contents of the letter beforehand, everyone else was puzzled.

Thinking of what the crazy Quan Guanqing said, everyone's eyes were focused on Qiao Feng.

Elder Xu took out the letter and explained the whole process in detail. In the middle, Shan Zheng, Zhao Qiansun and others spoke one by one. He talked for a long time and finally mentioned the old events outside Yanmen Pass.

When Zhao Qiansun heard the words "outside Yanmen Pass, in front of the rocky valley", his face changed drastically and he turned around and ran out of the forest.

At this moment, another person arrived. He was also an eyewitness to that incident, Master Zhiguang from Mount Tiantai.

Zhao Qiansun saw him coming and quickly said, "There was a great battle outside Yanmen Pass in the Rocky Valley, and Monk Zhiguang was also involved. You should tell the story!"

Master Zhiguang had a complicated expression on his face. He read the letter handed to him by Elder Xu several times. Finally, he sighed and recounted the story that happened thirty years ago.

Back then, the "Big Head Brother" was bewitched and led a group of heroes to ambush Xiao Yuanshan's family outside Yanmen Pass, causing the tragic death of his wife and the unknown life and death of his baby.

"The Liao man killed us all and burst into tears while holding his wife's body. His cry was truly heartbreaking."

When Master Zhiguang said this, he kept shaking his head, his face full of shame.

"I originally thought that Liao dogs were like evil beasts, but when I looked at them, I saw that they actually had human nature. Their sorrow and grief seemed to be no less than that of us Han people."

Zhao Qiansun said coldly, "What's so strange about that? Even wild beasts have feelings and affection. The Liao people are also human beings. Why are they inferior to the Han people?"

This was obviously another "treasonous" remark. Several hot-tempered Beggar Gang disciples were about to curse, but were suddenly stunned.

Although Quan Guanqing had gone mad, what he said about the gang leader's life experience might not be false.

They knew best what kind of person Qiao Feng was. Without mentioning the distant past, his act of washing away his sins with blood and forgiving the four elders had already deeply impressed everyone.

If he is really a Khitan.
Gu Pingan said, "I think what Mr. Zhao, Qian, Sun, and Li said is correct. There are bad people among the Han people, so why can't there be good people among the Liao people?"

Master Zhiguang clasped his hands together and bowed to him.

"What you said is quite right, benefactor. I was confused back then, and it was only later that I understood the reason behind this."
