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

Chapter 5 Late night temptation
"Brother Ouyang, you're joking." Gu Ping'an raised his glass and laughed, "If we talk about a family with a long history of martial arts, Brother Ouyang is the one who deserves it. My humble skills are no match for the profound martial arts of White Camel Mountain."

Wanyan Kang waved his hand and said, "Young Master Gu, you are too modest. If I were to say, you two both possess unique skills that truly make me pale in comparison. I feel ashamed of myself."

The three of them flattered each other for a while, and then Wanyan Honglie spoke again.

"It's a perfect coincidence that you all have gathered today, and that we have a new and powerful general like Young Master Gu. This is truly a double blessing. I would like to take this opportunity to discuss something with you all."

Before he could finish, Wanyan Kang glanced at Gu Ping'an and suddenly interrupted him.

"Father, several of the seniors must be a little tired after fighting with others today. Why don't we discuss the serious matters tomorrow?"

Seeing Wanyan Honglie's unhappy expression, he quickly stood up and whispered a few words in his ear.

Gu Ping'an noticed Wanyan Honglie's gaze sweeping across his face, and he had already guessed the reason why Yang Kang suddenly interrupted.

It seems that I haven't gained their trust like the others yet.

But it doesn’t make any difference whether he keeps it a secret or not. For a time traveler like him, there is no such thing as a secret.

"Kang'er is right. It was my prince who was rude." Wanyan Honglie changed his tone after hearing this. "This matter is not urgent. My prince will hold a formal banquet another day and invite everyone to discuss important matters."

"Since we are guests of the palace, we must obey the prince's orders."

After the banquet, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Gu Ping'an had just arrived at Prince Zhao's mansion and had not yet been assigned a room. Wanyan Kang volunteered to take him to the wing room.

The two walked along the corridor. The courtyard was deep and quiet, and occasionally they could see the palace guards on patrol.

After passing a rockery, lights can be vaguely seen in front of us. It is a big house with someone guarding the door.

Wanyan Kang suddenly stopped and said, "I have something I don't understand. I hope Brother Gu can help me solve it."

Gu Ping'an felt a little wary, but looking at his expression, he didn't seem to have any malicious intentions. Instead, he had a meaningful smile on his face.

"It's not so much about solving my doubts, but please tell me, my lord."

Wanyan Kang didn't keep him in suspense and asked directly, "You stopped me from flirting with the girl who was participating in the martial arts competition today. It must be more than just to show off your skills, right?"

Gu Ping'an was slightly stunned and asked blankly, "What do you mean, young prince?"

Seeing his reaction, Wanyan Kang thought he was just being reserved and gave him a look that said, "Men know all." "There are no outsiders here. Just tell me straight up. Are you interested in that girl in red?"

???

It was not until he said this that Gu Ping'an reacted. He was about to deny it, but suddenly he felt a chill in his heart and came to his senses.

This guy is really cunning!

If Gu Ping'an had not realized it in time by secretly testing him in this way, he would have fallen into his trap.

Can you deny it now?
Of course not!

He showed his skills during the day, went to Prince Zhao's palace late at night, captured Master Lingzhi, and successfully joined the palace.

It seems to be fine, but there is something missing.

No profit can not afford to be early.

Ouyang Ke, Peng Lianhu and other masters were willing to obey Wanyan Honglie's orders and received a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. However, Gu Ping'an claimed to be "self-recommended" but did not ask for any advantage.

For no reason, voluntarily pledge allegiance?
Either he has lost his mind, or, of course, he has other intentions.

According to Wanyan Kang's guess, there was only one possibility left, that was a woman.

But if not
"Forget it." Gu Ping'an sighed deliberately. "The young prince is truly as foresighted as a god. I came here precisely for that girl. If I'm not mistaken, the father and daughter have been 'invited' to the palace, right?"

Wanyan Kang felt relieved upon hearing this and laughed heartily, "Brother Gu is indeed very quick-witted. That's right, the two of you are currently visiting the palace. If you need me, I will arrange for you to meet them. However, whether I can win your heart depends on you!"

As he spoke, he patted Gu Ping'an's shoulder, but with his other hand he made a gesture behind his back. In the dark of the courtyard, Peng Lianhu and his companions felt relieved and quietly retreated.

"Thank you, young prince!" Gu Ping'an was "overjoyed" and clasped his fists in thanks. "If you have any missions in the future, I will do my best to help you!"

"We are family, so let's not have different opinions. Come with me, brother!" Wanyan Kang laughed and led him towards the big house.

Seeing the young prince and his men coming, the personal guards at the door quickly opened the door and let the two in.

Go through the patio and enter a cell.

The cell was dark, with only moonlight shining in through the window, so the servant hurried in to light a lamp.

"Kill me if you want, or get out of here if you don't want!"

Before the lights came on, an angry shout was heard. It was from Yang Tiexin.

Wanyan Kang didn't want to be scolded for nothing, so he pointed towards the house and said, "The people are inside. Brother Gu, please go in by yourself. I will wait here."

Gu Pingan put on a grateful expression, nodded at him, and then went into the house.

Inside the room was a prison cell with extremely thick bars. Not only could a human being but even a wild beast not escape.

"Senior Mu, Miss Mu."

"It's you?"

Seeing someone coming in, Yang Tiexin was about to curse again, but he could see the other person's face clearly in the candlelight.

When Mu Nianci saw that the person was the young man with great martial arts skills who helped her during the day, her eyes lit up, but then she became a little more worried.

She looked sad and a little haggard at the moment, but her face looked even more beautiful.

"How did they catch you?"

"That's not right."

Gu Ping'an was about to explain, but Yang Tiexin sensed something was wrong.

"If he was captured, why was there no one escorting him? And I just clearly heard someone shouting 'young prince', this..."

This matter was so irrational that Yang Tiexin couldn't understand it for a moment.

"It was the young prince who sent me here to visit you two," Gu Ping'an said, winking.

"Great! I thought you were a gentleman, but I didn't expect you to become a dog of the Jin man!" When Yang Tiexin heard this, he didn't even bother to look at his expression and started cursing immediately.

Gu Ping'an resisted the urge to roll his eyes, cast a look for help at Mu Nianci, and raised his index finger to his lips, making a gesture of silence.

Mu Nianci tugged at her adoptive father's sleeve and finally managed to stop him from cursing, but his eyes were still filled with anger.

"Don't worry, I'm here to save you."

Gu Ping'an lowered his voice and told everything he had experienced before.

In order to avoid being overheard by people outside, he would occasionally raise his voice and say a few words that were in line with his current status, while Yang Tiexin continued to curse in response.

By the time everything was explained, the father and daughter had already changed their expressions.

"I'll find out why Wanyan Honglie summoned the experts, and then I'll find a way to rescue you two."

"Thank you very much, sir. My father and I are very grateful." Mu Nianci lowered her head and thanked him softly.

"No problem." Gu Ping'an nodded and smiled at her, then raised his voice, "Senior, take care of yourself and don't get angry anymore. I'll take my leave now."

"roll!"
