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

Chapter 21 Yang Si Niangzi
Gu Ping'an was about to clasp his fists, but the "Fourth Lady" attacked without saying a word.

His body is as fast as the wind and his palms are fierce.

Gu Ping'an did not dare to underestimate him. He used his elbow to guide his wrist and blocked the incoming palm from bottom to top.

The tremendous force coming at him even made him secretly shocked.

This was the first time he wanted to use the word "magnificent" to describe a woman's palm power.

If we have to make a horizontal comparison, the power of this palm technique is not weaker than that of the spiritual master at that time, and it is even more powerful.

How could such a master exist in such a small city like Juzhou?
The Fourth Lady did not give him the chance to think any further. She pressed down with one hand, used his strength to leap up, and swept across the air with one leg. It was a flying lotus move.

The previous palm strike was powerful and heavy, but the kick suddenly changed its direction and was agile. Gu Ping'an had no choice but to lean back and bend his waist, dodging with the iron bridge style.

Although this move was an evasive move, it contained a hidden counterattack.

The shadow of a leg flashed before his eyes, and Gu Ping'an took advantage of the momentum to flip backwards and lift up one leg, just to seize the opportunity that the fourth lady was in mid-air with nowhere to gain support.

Just as he expected, the opponent's body was in the air, making it difficult for him to dodge. He had to use his internal strength in a hurry, pressing down with both palms to take the kick.

When their legs and palms collided, Si Niangzi suffered a small loss and somersaulted in the air before landing on the ground.

She thought she had been ambushed by a master and that today would not end peacefully.

"Stop!" Finally getting the chance, Gu Pingan quickly raised his hand to stop her from rushing over, saying in a hurry, "Don't worry, lady, I'm not here to embarrass you!"

The fourth lady was startled when she heard this, but then she saw that there was no malice on his face. Only then did she realize that she had caused a misunderstanding due to her panic.

She was about to speak when they both heard footsteps not far away. It was the servants patrolling here.

"This is not the place to talk, lady, please follow me."

Gu Ping'an whispered something, then tapped the ground with his toes, performed the "Inverted Triple Cloud", and flew out of the house.

The fourth lady followed behind him and felt that his figure was graceful, as if he was walking on clouds. She couldn't help but sigh that this young man was not only good at boxing and kicking, but his light body skills were far better than hers.

The two of them ran for less than half a cup of tea and stopped in a dark alley.

Gu Ping'an clasped his fists and said apologetically, "I spoke rudely earlier and disturbed the lady. I hope you will forgive me."

"Don't blame me, young man. I'm the one who's paranoid." The fourth lady thought about it and felt a little guilty. "My name is Yang Miaozhen. I haven't asked for your full name yet."

She called herself a concubine and wore her hair in a bun, which meant she must have been married. However, she did not mention her husband's family, only her maiden name, which made Gu Ping'an feel a little strange.

However, everyone in the martial arts world has their own temperament and character, so he didn't pay much attention to it and introduced himself: "My name is Gu Ping'an."

[Meet the rebel leader Yang Miaozhen and demonstrate your strength in front of him to gain 500 Jianghu Reputation points.]

[Reputation level remains unchanged: Advanced (3250/10000) => Advanced (3750/10000)]

Rebel leader?

Gu Ping'an didn't remember any mention of the righteous army in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

"Why do I feel like I've seen you somewhere before?"

Yang Miaozhen concentrated on thinking for a moment, and suddenly her face turned cold again.

"You are the follower of the Jin envoy!"

Her reaction was quite significant.

You have to know that the Red Turban Army she led at Moqishan was actually rebelling against the Great Jin.

"Wait a minute, lady! Although I came with the delegation, I have a hidden agenda. I am definitely not a Jin Dynasty lackey."

Seeing that she was about to fight again due to a disagreement, Gu Ping'an quickly started to explain.

"I wonder if Miss Yang knows anything about the Seven Masters of Quanzhen and the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan?"

These two groups were naturally weaker than the Five Supremes, but among ordinary people in the martial arts world, they were definitely quite famous knights. As the leader of the rebel army, Yang Miaozhen naturally understood this.

Gu Ping'an told the whole story of how he had sneaked into the palace, secretly helped Huang Rong, and rescued Bao Xiruo at night. Yang Miaozhen listened more and more attentively, and her face was warming up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Not only that.

[Tell the story of your heroic deeds to the leader of the rebel army, Yang Miaozhen. You will be respected and rewarded with 500 Jianghu Reputation points.]

[Reputation level remains unchanged: Advanced (3750/10000) => Advanced (4250/10000)]

"I am accompanying you this time to secretly stop the Jin people from killing the Mongol envoy and to do my best to promote a Mongol-Song alliance."

Yang Miaozhen had already put on an expression of admiration and praised, "Young Master Gu endured humiliation and hardship. He is truly a young hero!"

Even though Gu Ping'an was thick-skinned enough, his face turned red when he was praised. Fortunately, there was the cover of night.

Upon learning that he was not a running dog of the Jin people, Yang Miaozhen revealed his identity.

"Now that the Red Coat Army is isolated and powerless, they have no choice but to temporarily camp on Moqi Mountain, using the cover of bandits to survive by robbing the wealthy families who exploit the people."

After listening to her, Gu Ping'an was filled with awe and felt deeply that it was not easy for the rebel army.

He suddenly had an idea and came up with a plan.

"In that case, I wonder if Lady Yang would be interested in using the tactic of 'taking advantage of someone's misfortune'?"

He was speaking in a cryptic way, and Yang Miaozhen didn't understand for a moment: "I hope Young Master Gu can clarify it."

"The Jin Emperor, Wanyan Jing, is worried about a Song-Mongol alliance against the Jin, so he's sending envoys to disrupt the alliance. Wanyan Honglie planned to secretly eliminate the Mongol envoy, but the Emperor is unaware of it. If someone kidnapped the Jin envoy at this moment, what do you think would happen?"

"Of course we should send troops to fight against them."

Yang Miaozhen was halfway through her speech when she realized what was happening.

"No! By the time the messenger comes back and the troops are mustered, by the time the messenger is rescued, the Song-Mongol alliance will have already been established."

She thought for a moment and then said, "But what if we send another messenger?"

"It's too late." Gu Pingan chuckled and shook his head. "The news didn't even have time to be transmitted back to Zhongdu. The people below would have been in disarray. If the officials were in disarray..."

He was only halfway through when Yang Miaozhen's eyes lit up: "You mean, they will force Xu Hong to pay money to redeem him?"

"Not just him, all the wealthy people in Juzhou will have to bleed."

"If this plan succeeds, the Red Coat Army won't have to worry about their livelihoods anymore." Yang Miaozhen was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but clasped his fists and saluted: "Young Master, this is a brilliant plan. Miaozhen thanks Young Master Gu on behalf of the soldiers for his great kindness!"

Gu Pingan quickly extended his hand to support her: "The important matter has not yet been accomplished, Miss Yang, there is no need to be so polite."

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, decided where to start the next day, and then went back.

When he returned to Xu's house, the news of the theft had already spread.

Xu Hong was able to build such a large fortune and was a smart man. He knew that the thieves would not stay and wait to be caught, so he did not disturb the delegation's rest.

The room was still dark. Gu Ping'an gently closed the door and felt a fragrant breeze blowing towards him.

"Fortunately, you came back safely." Mu Nianci buried her head in his arms and said in a dull voice.

It was the first time in her life that she had done such a bold thing, and for a moment she was so embarrassed that she couldn't even raise her head.

"Nianci."

Gu Ping'an felt warm in his heart and hugged her back gently.

"I'm sorry for making you worry."
