Chapter 98 Enemy Duan Tiande

“But…” Yang Tiexin couldn’t wrap his mind around it for a moment. He felt something was wrong, but he didn’t know how to refute it.

Yang Kang turned around and did Bao Xiruo's work again, "Mom, even if we go back to the Kingdom of Jin, we can still come to Mount Zhongnan every now and then. Then, won't you be able to meet Dad?"

"As long as you are alive, anything is possible."

With her husband on one side and her son on the other, Bao Xiruo was suddenly caught in a dilemma.

……

Taihu Lake, Guiyun Villa.

Guo Jing and Huang Rong traveled together and met Lu Guanying on the shore of Taihu Lake. Lu Guanying was the son of Lu Chengfeng, a disciple of Huang Yaoshi. On the surface, he was a young hero, but secretly he was the leader of the Taihu bandits. He controlled the pirates in various camps and used the Taihu water system to resist the exploitation of the Song government and the invasion of the Jin people.

When she arrived at Guiyun Manor, Huang Rong recognized the Iron Bagua used by Lu Chengfeng to practice martial arts and the Qimen Dunjia technique contained in Guiyun Manor, and determined that this man had a close connection with her father Huang Yaoshi. However, she was afraid that Huang Yaoshi would know she was there, so she did not ask for details.

Mei Chaofeng died, the Four Ghosts of the Yellow River died, and Yang Kang was trapped in Mount Zhongnan. Naturally, he could not go on a diplomatic mission to the State of Song, and there would be no incident of the Taihu Lake bandits robbing the envoys of the State of Jin.

However, Huang Rong remained silent and did not reveal the whole story, but Guo Jing got along very well with Lu Chengfeng and his son. The fact that Guiyun Manor was not close to the Song Dynasty and was even hostile to the Jin Kingdom coincided with what Guo Jing was thinking.

The three men mingled together, chatting about everything under the sun, from ancient times to the present, as if they had met each other too late.

One day, Guo Jing suddenly said, "Uncle Lu, since you have many informants around Taihu Lake, I would like to ask you to find someone."

Lu Chengfeng was wearing a scholar's robe and holding a white goose feather fan in his hand. He said with a smile, "Oh? Who is it that you have gone to so much trouble to track down?"

Guo Jing's expression became serious, and his ordinary face showed a rare coldness. "Uncle, this man is the enemy who killed my father, and he is also a running dog of the Jin Kingdom. I was in the desert before and could not avenge my father. Now that I have returned to the Central Plains, I will definitely kill the enemy with my own hands to report to my father's spirit in heaven."

"The hatred for the murder of my father is irreconcilable. I will do my best to find this person. May I know his name?"

When Guo Jing met Hong Qigong before, he thought about using the Beggars' Sect's channels to find his enemy, but Hong Qigong taught him martial arts and was indebted to him, and besides, several of his masters' matters were important, so he didn't want to trouble Hong Qigong.

Now, there is still some time before the appointment at Yanyu Tower. It only takes a few days by boat from Taihu Lake to Lin'an, so he turned his focus to finding his enemy. He has no relatives or friends in Jiangnan, so he can only rely on Lu Chengfeng to find people.

Guo Jing gnashed his teeth and said, "This man is called Duan Tiande, a lackey of the Jin people. He killed my father in Niujia Village sixteen years ago and made my mother and I wander on the grassland. I came back this time, not only to keep the appointment, but also to find this man and avenge my father."

Lu Chengfeng frowned, "Duan Tiande? This person sounds very familiar."

Lu Guanying on the side thought about it and said quickly, "Dad, have you forgotten that my master, Master Kurumu, has a nephew from a lay family, and his name is Duan Tiande."

"Master Kurumu from Yunqi Temple?" Guo Jing was shocked. He thought of sixteen years ago, when several masters and Taoist Qiu accidentally confronted each other in Yunqi Temple. The one who stirred up trouble was Duan Tiande. Could he be talking about that person?

Lu Guanying asked curiously, "What? Brother Guo also knows my master?" Guo Jing shook his head and then told the story of sixteen years ago when Qiu Chuji and the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan fought at Yunqi Temple and almost both suffered losses, and then they made a sixteen-year agreement.

Lu Guanying's face was very solemn. "Brother Guo, it seems that Duan Tiande is the enemy who killed your father. His resume and identity match."

Lu Chengfeng was expelled from Peach Blossom Island. Later, he hid his martial arts and followed the rules of his master. He did not pass on any Peach Blossom Island martial arts to his son. He asked his son Lu Guanying to worship the monk Ku Mu of Yunqi Temple in Lin'an Prefecture as his master and regarded him as a lay disciple of Shaolin School.

Since he wanted to become their disciple, Lu Chengfeng had obviously checked out the identity of Monk Kurumu. Duan Tiande could not hide it from them either. Although he was not clear about what he had done in the past, when he calculated the time, everything matched. How could there be such a coincidence in the world?
After he finished speaking, Guo Jing suddenly laughed, with tears in the corners of his eyes. Since he was a child, he learned from his mother that he had an enemy named Duan Tiande who killed his father. For more than ten years, he practiced martial arts diligently. In addition to keeping the appointment, he also wanted to avenge his father.

Now, he has finally found his enemy, how can he not be happy?

Seeing this, Lu Chengfeng sighed deeply. He understood Guo Jing's feelings. However, Lu Guanying on the side frowned tightly. This matter concerned his master and it was not easy to handle.

After the laughter died down, Guo Jing stood up and saluted the two men, "Thank you, uncle. Brother Lu helped me find the murderer of my father. Guo Jing will never forget this great favor."

Lu Guanying gently waved his folding fan, like a young master from an aristocratic family, and asked tentatively, "Now that the enemy has been found, what do you think, Brother Guo?"

"Of course I will find the enemy, chop off his head, and offer sacrifice to my father's spirit in heaven."

Lu Chengfeng also thought of the relationship between his son and his master. After thinking for a while, he advised, "My dear nephew, Master Kurumu is my son's master, and Duan Tiande is his nephew. I have no objection to you killing him, but can you tell Master Kurumu about this in advance?"

Guo Jing frowned slightly and asked, "May I ask, uncle, what is the character of Master Ku Mu?"

Lu Chengfeng immediately gave a guarantee, "Master Kurumu has a noble character and is an accomplished master. If he knew the whole story, he would definitely not be biased towards Duan Tiande."

Guo Jing had some doubts, but did not say it directly. After thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, I can tell the master first, but I want to know all the information about Duan Tiande. I can not kill him yet, and make a decision after I have explained everything clearly."

"Okay, it's a deal." Lu Guanying heaved a sigh of relief. On one side was his master, and on the other was a new friend. He couldn't take sides. The enemy who killed his father was his mortal enemy. He didn't want to stop Guo Jing, but he had to give an explanation to his master.

Now that Guo Jing has taken the initiative to make concessions, things will be much easier.

Afterwards, Lu Guanying told Guo Jing all the news he knew. When he learned that Duan Tiande had not been punished by the Song Dynasty court in recent years, but had been promoted and was living an extremely comfortable life, he almost bit his teeth off.

That afternoon, Guo Jing left Guiyun Villa and prepared to go to the Song army camp to investigate Duan Tiande. However, after Huang Rong knew about this, she also wanted to go with him. Guo Jing had no choice but to let her go.

At this time, Duan Tiande didn't know that the baby in Li Ping's belly had grown up and was coming to seek revenge. He was still having a good time in the military camp, drinking and partying.

The Song State's military had been in disrepair for a long time, and the military camp was poorly guarded. Guo Jing and his companions easily sneaked into the military camp and found Duan Tiande.
