Chapter 61 Putting the blame on others
With the help of the firelight in the courtyard, several people looked carefully. The people outside the door were dressed like ordinary Song people, but with high noses, thin lips, broad foreheads, and what seemed to be braids, they were actually Jin people.

Not only that, these four men stood tall, with their hands on the hilts of their swords, and their postures were uniform, making them look like well-trained elite soldiers.

"Although this place is not far from Chuzhou, it is Song territory after all. Why are there Jin soldiers here?" Tian Jiangen asked in a low voice, puzzled.

This was the first time that Gu Ping'an had encountered such an unexpected incident since he traveled through time.

If his guess was correct, Wanyan Honglie might have arrived in Baoying in advance, and was most likely in this house.

Yu Zhaoxing was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

"Oh no! If there are Jin soldiers here, then Uncle Master will go in alone, right?"

He only said half of it, and then he felt a chill in his heart and dared not continue.

"Don't panic," Gu Ping'an said calmly, "Let's go over and take a look."

It was a dark and windy night, and all the soldiers had martial arts experience. No matter how alert the four Jin soldiers were, they could not detect anyone approaching.

It seemed that people were drinking and having fun in the room, and a rough voice sounded, with a hint of teasing.

"Master Ouyang, you've only been in Baoying County for a few days, and you've already abducted so many women. If you stay a few more days, I'm afraid you'll have taken all the virgins in the county."

Gu Ping'an listened attentively and felt vaguely familiar with it, as if it was Sha Tongtian's voice.

"Brother Sha, you're joking. How can an ordinary, vulgar woman catch your brother's eye?"

Everyone in the room laughed, and another person said, "Master Ouyang, can you still stand up to all the partying every night?"

Ouyang Ke snorted, "If you dare to bring people back, I will easily deal with you. Brother Peng, please don't say that. If it gets out, it will tarnish my reputation!"

Gu Ping'an was listening when he suddenly heard Guo Jing say "Huh" and then turned around to look at him.

Guo Jing pointed to the top of his head. A white eagle with feathers as white as white was circling in the night sky, flying in circles and refusing to leave.

No one knew what this meant, but Gu Ping'an understood it instantly.

The white eagle has been staring at this place. Could it be that Tuo Lei and the others have been captured by Wanyan Honglie?!

Before Guo Jing could explain, another sound came from the room.

"We've brought everyone back. A night of love is worth a thousand gold. Why don't you go back to your room and enjoy it, Mr. Ouyang?"

"No hurry," Ouyang Ke chuckled softly, "Aren't you guys curious about how pretty this girl is that I, Ouyang Ke, would like to see?"

Everyone outside the house heard that these people were all masters. If Li Sheng's identity was revealed at this moment, how could he still survive?

Yu Zhaoxing was shocked and stood up to break in through the window, but was held down by Gu Ping'an.

"Don't move, just wait here."

He gave instructions and went around to the front door.

"who!"

He did not hide his whereabouts, and the four Jin soldiers immediately discovered him and shouted in unison.

Gu Pingan ignored him and asked loudly, "Brother Ouyang! Are you in the house?"

The door was pushed open, and Ouyang Ke was a little surprised to see that it was him.

"Brother Gu, why is it you?"

As soon as these words came out, Gu Ping'an could imagine how Yu Zhaoxing and others would react, so he deliberately left Mu Nianci outside to explain.

It would be difficult for Guo Jing, who is not good at speaking, to explain it clearly.

Gu Ping'an walked into the house and took a quick look.

The masters of the palace were not gathered here. Apart from Sha Tongtian and Peng Lianhu who had just spoken, there were only Hou Tonghai and the Three Ghosts of the Yellow River, but Wanyan Honglie was not there.

The four Jin soldiers did not recognize Gu Ping'an and had already drawn their swords, but when they heard Ouyang Ke call him brother, they put them back.

Peng Lianhu looked puzzled and asked, "Brother Gu, didn't you accompany the young prince to Lin'an in the south? Why are you in Baoying again?" Gu Ping'an had an anxious expression on his face since he showed up, but now that he saw a few people, his expression eased a little.

"Something happened to the young prince!"

Everyone was startled and stood up suddenly.

"What did you say?!" Peng Lianhu asked loudly in disbelief.

Ouyang Ke turned around and knocked on the cloth bag on the ground. He was a little confused and said, "Don't be impatient. Tell me slowly. What happened?"

"I followed the young prince south all the way. Although there were some setbacks along the way, it was relatively safe until we encountered a powerful enemy on Taihu Lake a few days ago."

"Strong enemy?"

They all knew Gu Ping'an's skills. Anyone he called a strong enemy must be at least on the level of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen.

"Could it be those stinky Taoist priests?" Sha Tongtian asked.

"No," Ouyang Ke shook his head. "Qiu Chuji is the young prince's master. No matter how much he dislikes him, he shouldn't attack him."

"It's not him. That person's Kung Fu is stronger than the Seven Masters of Quanzhen."

Several people were shocked, and before they could ask any more questions, Gu Pingan continued.

"Song sent troops to ferry them. There were a thousand infantry on board, but even Commander Duan, the leader, was killed by him."

Is there such a master in the world?
"Could it be that the Five Great Masters have arrived in person?!" Peng Lianhu turned pale with fear.

Even if there were ten of him, they wouldn't be able to guarantee that they could kill a thousand people in one breath.

"That's not the case, it's just that this person is very good at water, and his lightness skills are better than mine."

Gu Ping'an first exaggerated to calm the others, then explained.

"He sank the ship, killed the commander, and kidnapped the young prince. I fought him for more than ten moves, but I was no match for him."

"With such high Qinggong skills, he was able to defeat you in just over ten moves." Ouyang Ke pondered deeply and asked, "Is this person quite old and good at palm skills?"

"How do you know?" Gu Ping'an pretended to be surprised.

"I saw the Song commander get slapped on the back by him, his internal organs spewing out, and he died instantly. Later, when I looked at his body, I saw a dark blue handprint on his back. It was truly horrifying."

"Qiu Qianren! It's indeed him!" Ouyang Ke slapped his thigh and said loudly.

Gu Ping'an secretly praised him in his heart, saying that he was worthy of being the successor of the Five Great Masters, as he was knowledgeable and experienced.

Peng Lianhu's face suddenly dawned on him. "Master Ouyang, are you talking about Qiu Qianren, leader of the Iron Palm Gang, known as 'Iron Palm Floating on Water'?"

"That's right," Ouyang Ke fiddled with his folding fan, a worried look on his face. "I once heard my uncle mention this man. He told me to avoid him if I could and not to antagonize him."

"Could this person be even worse than Mr. Ouyang?"

Sha Tongtian was halfway through his words when he realized something was wrong and quickly swallowed the rest of his sentence.

Ouyang Ke glanced at him and said, "Of course not, but this man's Kung Fu should not be underestimated. He was also invited to the Huashan Sword Contest, but for some reason he was unable to attend."

"I guess he's too scared to go before the battle, huh?" Peng Lianhu, who has a higher emotional intelligence, said in a low voice, "But Brother Gu is right. This man's martial arts skills are probably even better than those of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen."

A few people were talking about Qiu Qianren when they suddenly heard footsteps on the stairs. Wanyan Honglie came down from upstairs, took a white handkerchief and wiped the blood off his hands.

"It's so lively, what are you guys talking about?"

 I have been busy during the day, working hard to finish the manuscript.

  I updated it first and revised it later, so there was no time for calibration. If there are typos or grammatical errors, please correct them.
