Chapter - 491 Descending From the Sky (12) (1/2)

”I don't want anything,” Guo Jing said.

Huang Rong stepped to the side and whispered, ”Come here.” Guo Jing followed. ”You really don't want anything in the world?” Huang Rong asked.

Guo Jing was taken aback, ”All I want is never to be separated from you anymore,” he earnestly said.

Huang Rong smiled. ”Today you have rendered this great service. Whatever you ask, I believe the Great Khan won't get angry at you.”

”Hmm,” Guo Jing still did not understand. Huang Rong continued, ”Right this moment if you ask him to appoint you as some high ranking official, he won't deny it. If you ask him not to appoint you, it will also be difficult for him to deny. Important thing is, you have to make him promise in advance. Whatever you ask, he has to grant it.”

”Right!” Guo Jing said.

Listening to his short reply 'Right!' without saying anything else, Huang Rong shook her head; she was mad. ”Looks like becoming the Golden Blade Consort is the best thing that ever happened to you, isn't it?”

Her words made Guo Jing understand, he called out, ”Hmm, I understand. You want me to ask the Great Khan to cancel my marriage; but I have to make sure he promises in advance he won't deny whatever I ask.”

Huang Rong was hurt, ”It all depends on you. You probably do want to be the Consort?”

”Rong'er,” Guo Jing said, ”Sister Huazheng treats me with nothing but sincerity, but my love to her is a brotherly love. At first I thought I was holding to my gentleman's agreement, since I did not object to the marriage arrangement a long time ago. But if the Great Khan is willing to nullify the agreement, that would certainly satisfy all parties involved.”

Huang Rong was overjoyed; she cast a sidelong glance to him with the sweetest smile on her face. Guo Jing wanted to stay and talk with her some more, but the horn was sounded for the second time from the palace. He placed his hand on hers and said, ”Rong'er, wait for my good news here.” He dragged Wanyan Honglie inside the palace to see the Great Khan.

Genghis Khan was very delighted to see Guo Jing arrived; he left his throne to greet him, and then took his hand to enter the hall together. He ordered Guo Jing to take a stool covered with embroidery work and tell him to sit next to him. Listening to Guo Jing's report on the capture of Wanyan Honglie he was even happier. Seeing Wanyan Honglie kneel down in front of him Genghis Khan lifted his right foot to tread on Wanyan Honglie's head. Smiling broadly he said, ”That day you came to Mongolia flaunting your military power and prestige, did you ever think that there will come a day like today?”

Wanyan Honglie knew his death was imminent, he raised his head boldly and said, ”That time my Great Jin country was rich and powerful. I regret the fact that we did not extinguish your tiny Mongolia early on, rather than living to this day.”

Genghis Khan laughed a big laugh, ordering his guard to take Wanyan Honglie out and behead him in front of the palace. Guo Jing remembered his father's death was finally avenged; his heart was filled with happiness and grief.

Genghis Khan said, ”I have promised that whoever breaks the city defense and capture Wanyan Honglie I will give this city's women and children, with all its gold and silk. Go ahead and receive your rewards.”

Guo Jing shook his head, ”My mother and I have enjoyed the Great Khan's benevolence. We have enough food and clothing. I don't have any use of slaves or gold and silk.”

”Good,” Genghis Khan said, ”That was precisely the true quality of a hero. What then you do want? All you have to do is ask, I will not deny anything.”
