The Legend of the Condor Heroes: I became one of the Five Great Masters by drawing cards

Chapter 123: Encountering the Three-Headed Dragon Again

Outside the Imperial City, on a hill in the forest.

In order to deal with the master Gu Ping'an, three teams of one hundred people were arranged here, and they were also equipped with a lot of strong bows and crossbows.

It has to be said that Shi Zhaizhi really spent a lot of money.

Although the treacherous prime minister Shi Miyuan was extremely powerful, the Imperial City Division was, after all, the emperor's personal army, and their will was weak, so only a thousand people were bribed by him.

This playboy used up nearly half of his money just to settle a personal vendetta against a gangster. His arrogance and domineering nature can be seen from this.

This was also thanks to Ningzong's incompetence and credulity, otherwise the entire Shi family would have been executed long ago.

The palace was heavily guarded, so Shi Zhaizhi naturally could not stay in the palace late at night. The leader in the forest was one of Shi Miyuan's trusted officials.

The official, standing on the hill, saw from afar a large group of imperial guards rushing towards the Imperial City Administration. Leading the way was a woman in palace attire, and he was puzzled for a moment.

He had been in the Imperial City for so many years, but had never seen such a scene. He felt something was wrong and quickly sent people to investigate.

In prison, Lu Youjiao easily opened the lock, pulled off the chain, and pulled the cell door open.

"Brother Tian, let's go!"

He entered the cell and was about to pull the chains off the two men, but Gu Ping'an suddenly appeared behind him and grabbed him.

Lu Youjiao was puzzled and turned around to look at him blankly, only to see him shaking his head slightly at him.

Is there something wrong with these two people?
At this time, a day and a night had passed since Jiang Lin and Tian Jiangen were captured. Judging from their appearance in the prison, they had obviously suffered severe torture.

In this situation, even if the two men survived, they would surely be seriously injured and extremely weak.

But these two people were breathing steadily, not only did they not show any signs of injury, but they were actually much stronger than ordinary people.

trap!

If an ordinary master came to rob the prison, it would be difficult to identify him by his breath, and after seeing such a tragic scene, he would not have time to think about it.

Unfortunately, Gu Ping'an's internal strength was so high that he could detect it immediately without even concentrating and listening.

The next moment, under Lu Youjiao's shocked gaze, he flashed in front of "Tian Jiangen" and without saying a word, slapped him on the crown of his head with his palm.

That "Tian Jiangen" didn't dare to pretend anymore and rolled aside in panic.

Although this "lazy donkey rolling" move was awkward, it saved his life.

While he was dodging, "Jiang Lin" on the side took the opportunity to attack, waving his hand and throwing out a handful of poisonous spikes.

Since Gu Ping'an had already guessed that these two people were "Xibe" goods, how could he not be on guard against the other person? He lifted the collar of his clothes with one hand and shook it in the air.

The power on his collar was extraordinary. Not only did he catch all the poisonous spikes, but he also used the force to throw them out, sending them flying back at an even faster speed.

The fake Jiang Lin's martial arts skills were even worse than that of the "lazy donkey". At such a close distance, the poisonous spikes came at him with exceptional speed.

He was so frightened that he didn't even have the chance to raise his hands before the hidden weapon pierced his chest.

Gu Ping'an did not hold back when he swung the weapons one after another. One of the poisonous spikes pierced through his chest, brushed against the fake Tian Jiangen's hair, and was nailed into the wall.

"you"

For injuries like this, there was no need to wait until the poison took effect. When the fake Jiang Lin appeared, he only had time to say this one word before his head tilted and he fell on his back, obviously dead.

"Young Master Gu, spare my life!"

Fake Tian Jiangen was so frightened that he turned around and kowtowed repeatedly.

Gu Ping'an frowned: "Do you know me?"

"I know you, I know you're wrong." The man kowtowed a few more times and raised his head.

With his messy hair blown away, his face pale and yellow, and three tumors on his forehead, who else could it be but the "three-headed dragon" Hou Tonghai?
Not an outsider at all.

Gu Pingan rolled his eyes: "Why is it you?"

"Villain. Villain," Hou Tonghai stammered.

He had been hiding here to plot against Gu Ping'an, so how could he dare reveal the truth now? "Let him go! If you keep hesitating, I'll send you down to keep him company."

Gu Ping'an growled and pointed at the fake Jiang Lin.

I have never seen that person before, but I think he must be a third-rate martial artist recruited by Shi Miyuan.

"We were all forced to do this," Hou Tonghai said with a sad face, "it was Shi Miyuan's son who forced us to do this."

"you?"

Gu Ping'an was keenly aware of this and suddenly thought of the person who had given advice to Shi Zhaizhi as mentioned by the Imperial City Guards.

"This..." Hou Tonghai felt regretful, but he didn't dare to hide it, so he had to admit: "And... my senior brother."

"Where are the two people you captured?"

Although Gu Ping'an was curious, he also knew that it was not advisable to stay here for long, so he asked in a deep voice.

"I know, I know." Hou Tonghai pleaded with a flattering expression, "I will take the young hero to rescue them. Please spare my life, okay?"

"bargain?"

"Don't dare, don't dare"

"Alright," Gu Pingan glanced at him and said, "Take me to rescue people, and I won't kill you today."

"Okay, okay!" Hou Tonghai nodded repeatedly. "Master Gu is kind-hearted and truly chivalrous. I will definitely help you save that person."

Gu Ping'an thought he was noisy, so he pressed his mute point and sealed a few other important acupoints, then turned him over and lifted him up in his hands.

After leaving the prison, he climbed over the wall and left the hospital along the same route.

When he returned to the gate of the Imperial City, the hall was still noisy, but the guards watching outside the gate had all dispersed.

Gu Ping'an turned back to the corner of the courtyard wall, took out a stone, and shot it at the rockery opposite with the magical power of snapping his fingers.

Although the rockery was not close to here, it was still within Gu Ping'an's reach.

The stone hit the rocks. Li Sheng heard the sound and stuck his head out. He saw him waving at him from afar. Knowing that the task was accomplished, he turned around and evacuated in another direction.

Gu Ping'an and the other two walked eastward, climbed out of the palace wall near Donghua Gate, and then met up with him outside the city.

When they arrived at the agreed meeting place and Li Sheng arrived, Gu Ping'an untied Hou Tonghai's mute point.

He had suffered a lot during his journey, climbing over rooftops and walls, and his bones were almost broken.

If I didn't have some experience in martial arts, I might not be able to bear it.

"Tell me, Shi Zhaizhi sent people to ambush me, and also had you two disguised in prison. Where is the real culprit hidden?"

Gu Ping'an didn't bother to care whether he was suffering or not, and didn't feel any sympathy in his heart.

"There is a large house in the city that Shi Zhaizhi bought for his own enjoyment."

"where?"

Hou Tonghai said without hesitation, "Near Chongxin Gate, next to Changle Bridge."

Gu Ping'an was not very familiar with Lin'an, so he still had to rely on him to lead the way.

Li Sheng hadn't arrived yet, so he simply asked, "You and Wanyan Honglie were captured when they broke into the palace to steal books. How did you end up in Shi Zhaizhi's clutches?"

"Breaking into the forbidden palace is a capital offense. My martial arts skills are not as good as the others, and my senior brother has a broken arm. He has long been disrespected by King Wanyan Honglie, so it's not worth the risk to rescue him. I thought there was no hope of survival this time."

He sighed and said.

"Just as I was about to die, a high-ranking official suddenly arrived at the prison and asked if I was a member of the Jianghu. Upon hearing that I knew martial arts, he immediately agreed to rescue me."

"Shi Miyuan?"

Hou Tonghai nodded and said, "Later I found out that his son had suffered at the hands of jianghu people. He felt sorry for his only son, so he wanted to recruit a master to avenge his son."
