Chapter 177: Yang Kang: I have a son, 1 lamp: My grandfather wanted to kill my great-grandfather
As Yang Kang walked through the capital, watching the bustling crowds, he sighed inwardly, "This is the true splendor of the Central Plains! Compared to this, what kind of hellish place is the Tatars...?"
What he said after Wuya Zi's death was indeed the truth.
When they say "restoring my clothing and writing," they mean restoring the clothing and writing of the Great Jin Dynasty.
He genuinely believed that the Jin dynasty had inherited the Central Plains' writing system and clothing, because the Jin dynasty revered Confucius and Confucianism, established the Confucius Temple, conferred the title of Duke Yansheng, and considered itself the legitimate successor of the Central Plains.
Although the Ministry of Rites had rules regarding the itinerary of tributary missions, since they weren't genuinely paying tribute, Yang Kang didn't take it seriously and went out for a stroll on his own. His martial arts skills were now very high, and those officials couldn't stop him.
But he could sense that there were experts following him, either from the Commanding Division or the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
He didn't mind; he just wanted to see more of the wind on the grassland!
Just then, he suddenly heard a voice: "Yang Kang!"
Yang Kang looked at the person who had spoken, a very sturdy young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, it was Guo Jing.
These days, Guo Jing has learned what his original future would have been like.
He didn't harbor any resentment towards Li Pingsheng, since he didn't even know Huang Rong. However, upon hearing about Yang Kang, his sworn brother's actions and ultimate fate, he was deeply moved.
Even though Yang Kang killed several of his masters, he still felt that he, as the eldest brother, had failed to do a good job and had not taught him well, which led his sworn brother astray.
Later, when he heard that the deputy envoy of the mission was Yang Kang, he wanted to come and see if this was his sworn brother.
If it really is him, then he must have arrived in this era at the same time as me. He hasn't made so many mistakes yet, hasn't killed his masters, and still has the possibility of repenting.
Yang Kang looked coldly at Guo Jing, assuming he was another challenger.
Along the way, many experts from the Central Plains had challenged the tribute mission, but they were all defeated before he could even make a move.
Perfect timing! Today I'll become famous in the capital!
Yang Kang raised his hand: "Are you here to challenge me? Fine..."
Guo Jing shook his head: "I just wanted to ask, are you an extraordinary person?"
Yang Kang nodded. There was nothing to hide; everyone knew about the existence of the Extraordinary People now.
Guo Jing pressed on, "May I ask, is your mother Bao Xiruo? Are you a disciple of Master Qiu Chuji?"
Yang Kang was stunned for a moment: "How did you know?"
No, this name isn't mine. How could anyone recognize me and know my mother and master?
What kind of supernatural power is it?
Guo Jing, without any of those roundabout ways, said: "It really is you! I am your sworn brother, Guo Jing."
"Your biological father, Yang Tiexin, was a sworn brother of my father, Guo Xiaotian. Later, they met Master Qiu..."
He recounted everything he had heard.
After hearing this, Yang Kang was completely stunned!
Am I not a golden man?
Am I actually Han Chinese?
My father is not actually my father. On the contrary, he is the one who caused my family to be destroyed and even killed my biological father and mother.
He wanted to refute Guo Jing, but then he thought of his mother's residence, the look in her eyes every time she looked at that iron spear, the dagger Guo Jing mentioned, and why the Taoist priest Qiu Chuji, who had always hated the Jin Kingdom, would come to teach him martial arts...
He had no choice but to believe it.
His mind was in complete turmoil!
Did he feel ashamed for leaving with his biological father and mother, or even for returning to be the Little Prince after his mother and father committed suicide...?
There was also a lingering fear that his biological father was actually a wandering swordsman, and a fear of that kind of impoverished life...
But more than anything, I felt lost!
Before this, he had never known anything like it, and he didn't even know that he had an agreement with Guo Jing to have a duel.
Finally, he glared fiercely at Guo Jing: "Why are you telling me all this? Why are you telling me all this? I don't know anything, I don't know anything at all."
Guo Jing was very sincere: "Because in the original future, you took the wrong path. But now the immortal has given you a chance, allowing you to start over..."
"Brother, I hope you won't make a mistake this time."
Yang Kang was so annoyed that he even wanted to kill Guo Jing with one blow to end it all.
But in the end he didn't do that; he just used his lightness skill to run away!
His mind was a complete mess, and he didn't know what to do. He subconsciously found a restaurant and started drinking to drown his sorrows. He didn't want to care about anything right now; he just wanted to get drunk.
Just then, he saw a young man walking towards him. The young man looked about the same age as him and even looked somewhat similar to him.
The boy said, "Yang Kang?"
Yang Kang looked at him sleepily: "Are you some kind of sworn brother or sworn brethren again? You're so annoying, get lost..."
The young man sat down in front of him: "My name is Yang Guo, courtesy name Gaizhi..."
"What relatives are you trying to claim now? I don't know you at all, get lost..." But he suddenly froze after saying that.
He suddenly grabbed Yang Guo by the collar, staring intently at his face with disbelief: "You...you, you could you be...?"
Yang Guo closed his eyes in pain: "I am your son."
Yang Kang dropped the wine glass in his hand, and his brain went completely blank!
Yang Guo poured himself a cup of wine with a solemn expression and drank it all in one gulp: "My mother never told me who my father was when I was little..."
"In my heart, my father is a great hero."
"This is what I always believed before I came into this world."
"But in the future, I finally understood what my father had done..."
"Recognizing a thief as one's father, betraying one's country for personal gain..."
Yang Kang felt like he was going crazy. He clutched his head and cried out, "I don't know! I don't know! Nobody has ever told me!"
"I always thought I was a Jurchen, I always thought I was the little prince of the Jurchen Kingdom. How could I, a Jurchen, have betrayed my country?!"
"Then suddenly you told me that I am Han Chinese, and that I have committed such heinous crimes..."
"What should I do?"
"Should I go die?"
Yang Guo held Yang Kang's hand: "Father, you haven't done these things yet, you can change!"
Yang Kang roared and flew out of the restaurant. He couldn't face reality and only wanted to escape...
……
From the Duan family's residence, a hoarse voice rang out: "Duan Zhengchun, come out and face your death!"
Duan Yu stepped out and, upon seeing the man before him, his expression changed drastically: "Duan Yanqing, it's you again? Hundreds of years have passed, and you still won't give up?"
The ventriloquist's voice rang out from Duan Yanqing, the leader of the Four Evils, whose wickedness was beyond measure: "Kid, you're here too?"
"Now I finally know what kind of martial arts you used that day!"
"I understand. I definitely won't fall for it again. Since you're out here, you might as well die here!"
Then, with a flick of his cane, he unleashed the One-Finger Divine Skill, just as Duan Yu was about to test his Six Meridian Divine Sword.
At this moment, Master Yideng stood in front of him and blocked the attack with his One-Finger Divine Skill.
Master Yideng is going crazy!
This is my great-grandfather! My grandfather's Six Meridians Divine Sword is already quite powerful. Am I supposed to just watch my grandfather kill my great-grandfather?
This is absolutely terrible!
Seeing Yideng's martial arts skills, Duan Yanqing was also somewhat shocked. Who was this person from Tianlong Temple?
He used ventriloquism again: "That was just a greeting. This time I came with the Tatar tribute delegation, which has already issued a challenge to the martial arts world of the Central Plains."
"Tomorrow, I will challenge the Duan family. I hope you won't cower like cowards."
Even before these Tatar masters clashed with the Central Plains masters, their intricate relationships had already stirred up quite a stir in the capital...
