Chapter - 275 The Greater (14)

Guo Jing said, "Your father's death is a long complicated story, it cannot be explained in one sentence. When you asked me all those years ago, you were still young; you wouldn't have understood all the causes behind it. That is why I didn't tell you then. You can distinguish between right and wrong now that you've grown up. Once we've made the Mongols retreat, I'll tell you all about it from the beginning." He then laid his head back on his pillow and went to sleep.

Yang Guo had always known him to be completely honest; if he said something it was truthful and he never lied. But when he heard his words he wasn't convinced and was semi suspicious of him. He cursed himself, "Yang Guo, Yang Guo, you have always done things with an indomitable will; whatever you dared to do you did, why are you acting so timid today? Could it be that you're afraid of how good his martial arts are? If I keep on changing my mind tonight and lose this opportunity, Huang Rong might find out about my motives in the near future. When that happens, I'm afraid that even Gu Gu will be killed without a corpse that can be buried as well."

When he thought about Xiao Longnü, his spirits stirred again and he stretched out his hand to check the dagger. The dagger tip was hot after being pressed against his body.
