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

Chapter 57: Past Events in Niujia Village

"This man is the murderer who killed Uncle Guo. I didn't expect to meet him here!"

Mu Nianci was also surprised and explained to Gu Ping'an in a low voice.

Gu Ping'an naturally knew it earlier than her, but he still cooperated and showed a look of surprise.

The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan could not hide their joy, but the others were unaware of Guo Jing's intention and followed him into the back hall.

He asked for paper and pen and gave them to Zhu Cong, who picked up the pen and wrote eight big words on the white paper.

"The spirit tablet of the hero Guo Xiaotian"

The two men placed the paper tablet on the table. When Duan Tiande saw it, he was immediately frightened out of his wits.

Back then, he fled from south to north with a pregnant woman, suffered so much and almost lost his life. How could he not remember this name?

He was extremely frightened, his knees went weak, and he fell to his knees, leaving a circle of water on the ground.

Guo Jing shouted, "Do you want to die quickly and painlessly, or would you rather suffer in bits and pieces first?"

Duan Tiande knew that the room was full of experts and there was no possibility of escape, so he simply ignored the presence of "Young Prince Wanyan Kang" and started to tell the whole story.

"I, my humble servant, was merely ordered by my superiors. I had no choice."

Gu Ping'an had originally intended to let Yang Kang know his life story today, so he stopped acting in front of him just now, and did not stop Duan Tiande from speaking at this time.

"Whose orders did you take, and why did you want to harm him? Tell me!"

Duan Tiande glanced at Yang Kang unconsciously, then he made up his mind and shouted loudly.

"It's the Sixth Prince of the Great Jin Kingdom, Sixth Prince Wanyan Honglie!"

"what?"

Yang Kang originally stayed there with the mentality of watching the show, but when he suddenly heard him mention his father, he was stunned.

The frightened Duan Tiande now only hopes to shift the blame to others in order to reduce his own charges and seek a glimmer of hope.

This opening begins the story from the beginning.

"That day, the Sixth Prince fled back to Lin'an, covered in blood. It was said that he had gotten into trouble while chasing a Taoist named Qiu, but was fortunately saved by a woman."

He told the whole story in detail, including how Wanyan Honglie fell in love with Yang Tiexin's wife Bao; how he bribed Song Dynasty officials and sent soldiers to Niujia Village to kill Yang and Guo; and how he pretended to be brave and rushed out to rescue Bao.

The more Yang Kang listened, the more he felt something was wrong. He suddenly asked, "You said the woman's surname was Bao. Do you know her name? Where did she go later?"

Duan Tiande was later drafted by the Jin people and went all the way to Mongolia. I really don't know what happened to Bao Xiruo later, but her name is...
"As for Bao, I heard the prefect and that dog-barking Zhao Congshan mention her once. I think her name was Xiruo."

Bao Xiruo!
When Yang Kang heard the word "Xi Ruo", he felt a black screen in front of his eyes and fell to the ground.

The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan looked at him in unison, and suddenly remembered that this "Imperial Envoy" was Yang Tiexin's biological son.
Duan Tiande then recounted in detail how he was separated from Li Ping, fled back to Lin'an, and was promoted step by step thereafter.

After saying that, he knelt down again and moved forward to stand in front of Guo Jing, pleading with a shameless face.

"Hero Guo, Lord Guo, this is really not my fault."

"I am just a lowly official. I really can't make decisions. I have no choice."

He secretly raised his eyes and saw that Guo Jing's face was still ashen. He crawled to the paper memorial tablet and kowtowed with all his strength.

"Master Guo, your spirit in heaven must understand that I am nothing but an ant. The enemy who harmed you was Wanyan Honglie, the Sixth Prince of the Jin Dynasty. He is a beast..."

He cried and shouted, his forehead was bleeding, and he started cursing when he mentioned Wanyan Honglie.

He cursed with increasing fervor, his mouth spitting out foam, but he didn't expect Yang Kang to suddenly move, leaping high into the air, clasping his hands together and striking him squarely on the crown of his head. No one had anticipated this, and they tried to stop him, but it was too late. Gu Ping'an grabbed Mu Nianci's hand and quickly pulled her behind him.

puff!
Duan Tiande's skull shattered and he fell to the ground motionless, with a final look of astonishment still lingering on his face.

"You..." Guo Jing looked at the corpse on the ground and looked up at Yang Kang blankly.

Zhu Cong reacted the fastest, stepped forward, and sealed his acupoints with one finger.

This acupoint can make people fall asleep. Yang Kang fell on the spot and was supported by him.

"What should we do now?" He turned around and discussed with everyone.

Lu Chengfeng and his son were still puzzled, and Gu Ping'an patiently explained, which finally cleared up their doubts.

"I was so focused on killing the traitor Duan Tiande that I forgot about Wanyan Yangkang." Ke Zhen'e frowned, feeling that this matter was difficult to handle.

Quan Jinfa said, "If Brother Yang Tiexin were here, it would be a wonderful thing to ask him to recognize his ancestral roots right then and there. But right now, this is really a pity."

"Sixth Brother is right," Han Xiaoying nodded. "His master, Taoist Qiu, is not here either. It's inevitable that it would be a bit against the rules for us outsiders."

"It's better than this."

Every time the Seven Monsters discussed a problem, Zhu Cong was the one who made the final decision. As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone listened attentively.

"Since this kid has heard the truth, we can ask him in person. If he's willing, then we'll be happy. If not, we can take him to Mount Zhongnan and let his parents decide."

"That's a good idea!" Han Baoju was the one who didn't like to use his brain the most. His second brother already had a solution, so he just needed to support him.

"What do you think, Master Gu?"

Zhu Cong had long witnessed Gu Ping'an's talents and knew that he always had his own ideas, so he turned around and asked him for his opinion.

"Senior, this is a very good idea. I have no objection."

Anyway, it wouldn’t affect future plans, so Gu Ping’an spread his hands and signaled him to make his own arrangements.

Since no one objected, Zhu Cong did not delay and reached out to pat Yang Kang on the back a few times.

"Well"

After a while, Yang Kang woke up slowly.

"Wan Yankang!"

Among all the people present, Ke Zhenwu was the oldest and the leader of the six monsters, so he was the one to ask.

Yang Kang was slightly stunned, turned around and looked at him with a flickering expression.

He had not experienced the scene in the original novel where Bao Xiruo and Yang Tiexin committed suicide for love. Until yesterday, he still believed that he was the young prince of the Zhao Palace of the Great Jin Dynasty and the biological son of Wanyan Honglie.

Now, suddenly hearing the story of the past from an officer's mouth, the shock was a bit sudden, but not strong enough.

"You heard what that traitor said just now. You're not some worthless little prince. Do you know now?"

Ke Zhen'e always spoke directly, and Yang Kang was a junior whom he looked down upon, so he would not be in a good mood.

Yang Kang ignored him and just stared at Duan Tiande's body, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhu Cong frowned slightly, knowing that Ke Zhenwu's way of asking would not work, so he gently pulled his sleeve, indicating that he should speak.

"I know it's hard for you to accept it right now, but if I tell you that your biological parents are still alive, would you believe it?"
