Keyboard Immortal - Chapter 2801

Chapter 1314: You plan to use her to have a child?

Zu An was stunned. Why was the Dragon-Slaying Saber with her?

Before he could think further, Guo Fu was already surrounded by soldiers. To avoid humiliation, she could only raise her dagger to stab her chest.

Zu An quickly flicked his finger, knocking the dagger away.

She turned around and saw the mask and the one-armed figure, momentarily stunned: “Brother Yang…”

Zu An had disguised himself before entering the city to prevent Guo Polu’s name from spreading, but he hadn’t expected Guo Fu to mistake him for someone else.

At this moment, the Mongol soldiers, seeing their good time interrupted, were furious. However, upon seeing Ting Xue beside them, their anger turned to joy. What a stroke of luck! Not only did they have the beautiful young woman from before, but now they also had a stunningly beautiful young girl.

A group of them, even ignoring Zu An, roared and rushed towards Ting Xue, afraid their companions would beat them to it.

Ting Xue’s face turned cold. She drew her long sword, leaving afterimages, and quickly charged into the ranks of the soldiers.

Zu An approached Guo Fu: “Are you alright?”

“Brother Yang!” Guo Fu stared at him blankly, the grievances and fears of the past few days surging into her heart. Tears welled up instantly, and she threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly and sobbing.

Back then, during the Battle of Xiangyang, he had come to save her and Yelü Qi. Now that Xiangyang had fallen and she was desperate, he had come to save her again.

Especially thinking about how she had entrusted herself to the wrong person, countless emotions surged within her. Why had she treated him that way back then, squandering their destined connection?

Zu An: “???”

Even Ting Xue, fighting in the distance, couldn’t help but turn back to look, wondering what was going on.

Zu An shrugged, equally confused.

Ting Xue’s expression grew colder, her attacks more ruthless, quickly slaughtering the entire Mongol squad and returning to their side.

“Miss Long…” Guo Fu was somewhat embarrassed. She had been holding Xiaolongnu’s husband in front of her, and had lost her composure. “Oh, Miss Long, how come you’re so young, Tingxue?”

At this moment, Zu An gently touched her, and Guo Fu immediately fainted. “Our identities shouldn’t be exposed. Let’s get her away first.”

More Mongol soldiers were already arriving, many of them highly skilled. If they were surrounded, even with their current martial arts, escape would be difficult.

Tingxue hummed in agreement, then looked at the Dragon-Slaying Saber: “Where’s this saber?”

Zu An grabbed the Dragon-Slaying Saber and raced through the city for a while before casually tossing it into a nearby house.

He knew the Dragon-Slaying Saber had to fall into the hands of the rebel army according to history, but leaving such a precious weapon in place would easily arouse suspicion from the Mongols. However, since he couldn’t take it with him and had temporarily hidden it, and they found it, there was naturally no suspicion.

The two of them, along with Guo Fu, escaped Xiangyang City in the chaos and found a cave in the mountains on the outskirts of the city to settle down temporarily.

Tingxue glanced at her: “What do you plan to do with her?”

“First, ask her what happened.” Zu’an thought about the time she was carrying the Dragon-Slaying Saber and felt something must have happened.

“But she’s already recognized me, and she’ll recognize you too.” Tingxue was worried. According to their plan, Guo Polu should have died when Xiangyang fell, and there would be no further record of him in history. If Guo Fu recognized him, it could have unpredictable consequences.

“That’s easy.”

Zu’an released the pressure points on Guo Fu’s body, and she slowly woke up.

Then she met Zu’an’s eyes, and Zu’an immediately used the Soul Transfer Technique from the Nine Yin Manual.

Guo Fu was stunned, her eyes quickly clearing after being confused, accepting the fact that the two people in front of her were Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu.

Zu’an then asked, “What happened? Why did you run away with the Dragon-Slaying Saber? Where is Yelü Qi?”

According to the plan, she shouldn’t know about the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber plan.

Guo Fu’s eyes reddened: “Brother Yang, I’ve severed all ties with that guy. He… he’s defected to the Mongols!”

Zu An and Ting Xue exchanged a glance, not showing much surprise; they had already guessed this possibility.

Guo Fu wiped away her tears and continued, “Actually, I only recently learned that he had secretly defected to the Mongols and leaked a lot of intelligence about Xiangyang. If not for that, Xiangyang wouldn’t have fallen so quickly.”

“If he defected to the Mongols, he must be in a high position. You two had such a good relationship all these years, why did you end up in such a state?” Zu An asked curiously. He wasn’t surprised that Yelü Qi had surrendered to the Mongols, but rather that he hadn’t taken his wife with him.

“Of course he wanted to take me with him, but how could I be with a traitor? This is Xiangyang, which my parents have defended for so long!” Guo Fu said bitterly.

Zu An was somewhat surprised. He had always thought she was a lazy, pleasure-seeking fool, but he hadn’t expected her to have such integrity.

“Did he kill your parents?”

Guo Fu shook her head slightly. “No, that’s not it. As the leader of the Beggars’ Sect, he was worried about bringing shame to my parents by defecting to the Mongols, so he didn’t use his real name there. Instead, he used the alias Yelü Zhu. Even at the last moment, he tried to persuade my parents to surrender and save their lives, but unfortunately, they refused to surrender to the Tartars and had already decided to die for their country.”

“I learned that he had betrayed the Song Dynasty and stole the Dragon-Slaying Saber that my parents and maternal grandfather had forged, intending to hand it over to the Mongols. So I stole the Dragon-Slaying Saber, but unfortunately, the Mongols discovered it quickly and came to hunt me down. Then you rescued me.”

Zu An was secretly shocked. Historically, Yelü Chucai’s eldest son was named Yelü Zhu. He never expected that it was Yelü Qi.

Speaking of which, he was still somewhat conscientious. After all, he and his father had been officials in the Mongols before. It wasn’t surprising that they returned to the Mongols. Guo Jing and Huang Rong probably had this expectation as well, otherwise they wouldn’t have excluded Yelü Qi and Guo Fu from the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber plan from the beginning, and then calmly faced death after the city fell.

But secrets never stay hidden forever. Surely some within the Beggars’ Sect knew about this. For their leader to betray his country, and Yelü Qi’s image as a pampered young master so clashed with the Beggars’ Sect’s spirit, it’s likely this was the beginning of the later conflict between the “clean clothes” and “dirty clothes” factions within the sect…

“Right, where’s the Dragon-Slaying Saber?” Guo Fu suddenly realized, frantically searching for it.

Zu An explained, “Xiangyang was swarming with Mongol soldiers. We fought and retreated, and couldn’t carry such a heavy saber with us, so we hid it in a civilian’s house.”

Guo Fu sighed, “Brother Yang, you shouldn’t have saved me, you should have saved the saber.”

Zu An was somewhat surprised; this wasn’t like her usual self.

But then he thought, with her family destroyed, her parents martyred, her younger siblings missing, and her husband a traitor, it was understandable that she wanted to die. Thinking of

this, he didn’t dare leave her alone: “What are your plans for the future?”

“I don’t know.”

“Then come with us for now.”

…

When the group arrived at Mount Emei, Yan Hua was initially happy to see them, but upon seeing Guo Fu with them, she looked at Zu An with a puzzled expression: “You plan to use her to have a child?”

Zu An: “???”
