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

Chapter 105 Conspiracy and Calculation
What Peng Lianhu said made sense. Gu Ping'an nodded and asked again.

"You traveled all the way from Lin'an to Xiangxi. How could Ouyang Ke, with his leg broken, get here so quickly?"

"The young prince suggested that Mr. Ouyang and I ask for help from Gang Leader Qiu, while the rest of us stay in Lin'an to take care of Young Master Ouyang and also to provide support should the prince return."

On the surface, he helps people solve their problems, but in reality, he holds the power in his hands. This is something Yang Kang could really come up with.

"The three of us rode at top speed and arrived here three days ago. Qiu Qianzhang ran into a few Iron Palm Clan disciples and learned that Clan Leader Qiu was attending the Beggars' Clan Conference on July 15th and was currently in Yuezhou."

Seeing that he didn't say much, Peng Lianhu continued.

"This leader Qiu is also a man who is blinded by greed. After meeting the young prince and hearing that the will contained supreme martial arts, he and Mr. Ouyang hit it off immediately. He didn't care about the Beggars' Sect Conference and immediately wanted to return to Lin'an with us."

"And then you met Guo Jing and the others?"

"That's right." Peng Lianhu nodded. "After we discussed it, we left the city and just happened to see the two of them coming towards us from the official road."

Hong Qigong sighed, "Although Jing'er and Rong'er are good at martial arts, they are no match for the old poisonous creature and Qiu Qianren. No wonder they were captured."

"When they saw Mr. Ouyang, they tried to run, but their Qinggong skills were not as good as those two, and they were quickly caught up."

Mu Nianci was concerned about the two of them and comforted them, and quickly asked, "Are they injured?"

"That's not the case. Mr. Ouyang kept fighting with that kid for some reason, and later even forced him to compete in internal strength. Gang Leader Qiu instinctively wanted to kill Miss Huang with a palm strike, but he was stopped by him."

"That's right!" Hong Qigong thought for a moment and understood. "Fortunately, the old poisonous creature coveted Jing'er because she possessed the Nine Yin Manual. That's why he only captured her and didn't kill her, nor did he dare to harm Rong'er's life."

He breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that his two beloved disciples were safe.

"What happened next? After you captured them, why did you stay in Yuezhou?"

"We were originally going to leave, but when Gang Leader Qiu saw the green bamboo stick Miss Huang was carrying, he said it was some kind of Beggars' Clan keepsake, so he brought us back."

"Dog-beating stick!"

"Yes, that's the name." Peng Lianhu nodded. "He said that with this stick in hand, he would definitely be able to take down the Beggars' Sect."

The Iron Palm Gang and the Beggar Gang are both located in Jinghu. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Qiu Qianren is also very ambitious. How can he miss such a good opportunity?

"He handed the bamboo stick to the young prince and returned to Yuezhou City. He hadn't taken a few steps when a beggar came up to greet him."

"Qiu Qianren is so bold that he actually set his sights on the Beggars' Sect!"

Hong Qigong was furious. He threw the paper bag to the ground, slapped the armrest and tried to get up.

Mu Nianci hurried forward to support him, fearing that he would get hurt from anger.

"Don't worry, Mr. Qi. With you here, that traitor won't be able to cause any trouble. Just listen to what he has to say."

"Chief Qiu accompanied the young prince to meet several elders of the Beggars' Sect. After a long conversation, they finally recognized the young prince as their leader and planned to announce it to the world at the Beggars' Sect Assembly."

"Today is the Beggars' Sect's general meeting. Why is there not a single Beggars' Sect disciple in that restaurant? Did they all fall victim to your murderous schemes?"

"Don't dare!"

Peng Lianhu was startled and quickly shook his head.

"It's me. We got it out of Guo Jing that Gang Leader Hong himself would be attending the meeting. Today is the last day, and Gang Leader Qiu specially hosted a banquet, entertaining all the beggars, big and small, at a restaurant elsewhere. He also sent Iron Palm Gang disciples to secretly monitor the situation and report immediately if they saw anyone."

"I see."

"The following happened in the restaurant just now. You all already know." Peng Lianhu smiled bitterly and said weakly, "I have told you everything I know. I dare not hide anything. I still ask Young Master Gu to detoxify me." "Do you know where Guo Jing and Huang Rong are being held captive?"

"I don't know either. But Mr. Ouyang and Boss Qiu are both going to Xuanyuan Terrace tonight, so they should bring them with them, right?"

Gu Ping'an nodded, raised his hand slightly, and a steel needle suddenly shot out.

Peng Lianhu thought that he really wanted to detoxify him, and was looking at him with full anticipation, but he saw a steel needle flash past his sight and went straight into his forehead.

He didn't even have time to show surprise, and even when he died, he still had a smile of relief on his face.

"Just kill him like that?" Hong Qigong had not expected him to be so decisive and looked at him in surprise.

"His nickname is 'Thousand-Handed Butcher'. He is ruthless and has killed countless people. Keeping him alive will only bring disaster to the martial arts world. It is best to send him to reincarnation as soon as possible."

Hong Qigong nodded silently.

Although he was kind-hearted, he was not simply soft-hearted. As many as 231 villains died at his hands.

It was just that Gu Ping'an's move was too decisive, and he didn't react for a moment, so he asked this question.

"Now that we've dealt with this thief, we must hurry to Junshan without delay. We mustn't let the beggars fall for Qiu Qianren's tricks!"

Gu Ping'an looked at the moonlight outside the window. It was only the hour of Xu at this time. The Beggars' Sect meeting was scheduled for the hour of Zi, so it would take more than an hour.

"Wait a little longer. If the old poisonous creature can't kill us, there must be spies all over the city right now. If we run into those two, coupled with the massive Iron Palm Gang disciples helping us, I'm afraid Nianci and I won't be able to protect you."

Hong Qigong also understood that what he said was true, and nodded, "You are smarter than Rong'er, I will listen to you."

Gu Ping'an dealt with Peng Lianhu's body and waited until the third watch before quietly leaving with the two of them.

Qiu Qianren and Ouyang Feng were both going to Xuanyuantai to take charge. Even if someone tried to stop them along the way, they would be easily dealt with.

When we arrived at the Dongting Lake, we finally saw some Beggar Gang disciples rowing a small boat and patrolling on the lake.

A disciple on one of the boats saw three people, one of whom was carrying a large vermilion lacquered gourd on his back, and hurried to the shore to greet them.

"Boss Hong! You're finally here!"

The three disciples showed surprise on their faces and quickly took out fireworks from their arms, intending to report to the island.

"No need!" Hong Qigong immediately spoke up to stop him.

There is still some distance from here to Junshan Island, and the lake is vast. If Ouyang Feng and Qiu Qianren hear the news and rush over to stop them, it will still be a big trouble. It is better to get to the island first and then send out a divine soldier from the sky.

The young disciple naturally would not disobey his leader, so he immediately called the three of them onto the boat, rowed hard, and headed towards the island.

The moonlight was bright, and the entire Xuanyuan Terrace was gradually bathed in moonlight, and the rhythmic sound of knocking on rocks was heard.

After exactly 9981 knocks, the knocking sound stopped abruptly. The beggars bowed and saluted. Four of them stepped onto the platform and stood at the four corners.

After everyone finished their ceremony and sat down again, a middle-aged, fat beggar among the four suddenly spoke in a sad voice.

"Brothers, the Beggars' Sect has been ravaged by a calamity. Our leader, Hong, has passed away in Lin'an Prefecture!"
