Chapter 1154 Uninvited Guest

“It’s finally here.”

Although Qin Wei didn’t know the identity of the visitor, when he saw that Long Yu and the other man had a provocative look on their faces and heard their extremely arrogant and threatening words, he immediately understood their intention to block his way.

Therefore, when faced with the sudden appearance of Long Yu and Ya Kun, although Qin Wei was a little surprised, he was not overly panicked.

Of course, Qin Wei was able to act so calm because, firstly, he had expected someone to cause trouble for him. Secondly, the other side had only two people, while he had more than ten people. Thirdly, this place was not only the territory of the Song Dynasty, but also less than 30 miles away from Lin’an, which was equivalent to welcoming the enemy at his doorstep. Regardless of the strength of both sides, the words “own territory” alone were enough to make Qin Wei feel arrogant and fearless.

“Wait! What are you doing…”

Long Yu frowned, took a step forward and took out a portrait from his bosom. He then identified each person in the portrait and complained non-stop: “No wonder I couldn’t find your trace for more than ten days. You disguised yourself like this? You are well-known figures, what did you do? Why don’t you dare to show your true face?”

However, before Qin Wei and his group could answer, Long Yu pretended to be enlightened and nodded repeatedly, saying teasingly: “That’s right! I remember now! It turns out that someone is repaying kindness with enmity, and is willing to sell out his own brothers for fame and fortune. He must be guilty and afraid of retribution, so he dare not even close his eyes when sleeping.”

“What the hell did you say?” Seeing Long Yu’s ridicule of Qin Wei, Tu Long flew into a rage and asked sternly, “Who do you think you are? You are nothing more than a dog of Liu Xunyi! Now even Liu Xunyi doesn’t dare to offend our Marquis, how dare you jump out and bark?”

Tu Hu also wanted to show off in front of Qin Wei, so he ridiculed Long Yu: “Where did you come from, you scoundrel? Why don’t I remember Liu Xunyi having such a person by your side? Could it be that you are so eager to stand out that you took the initiative to seek credit in front of Liu Xunyi?”

“Ha ha……”

The dragon and tiger sang the same tune and mocked Long Yu, which immediately caused a burst of laughter from the others.

“Roar!”

Suddenly, Ya Kun, who was standing not far away, shook his head like a rolling stone and let out a low roar, like the thunderous roar of a ferocious beast, which immediately frightened Tulong and others, and the smiles on their faces gradually became a little stiff.

They were not afraid of the skinny Long Yu, and could even challenge him by relying on their numbers. But facing the giant Ya Kun, none of them dared to be arrogant, and even… they couldn’t even muster the courage to look Ya Kun’s eyes straight in the face.

In fact, it’s not just them. Anyone who faces a rare “monster” like Ya Kun will involuntarily feel an unmatched sense of oppression. Liu Xunyi was no exception when he first met Ya Kun.

“Liu Xunyi? Ha! If I have the chance, I am more eager to kill him with my own hands than any of you.” Long Yu smiled indifferently, and then continued to compare the portraits while saying nonchalantly, “There is a saying that ‘If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth’. I deeply agree with what you did to Liu Xunyi. If it were me, I would do it more thoroughly than you! Of course, it would also be cleaner! At least… I wouldn’t be so scared after failing and run back home in a mess.”

“Since you are not Liu Xunyi’s man, why are you causing trouble for us?”

“Don’t get me wrong! I’m not looking for you, I’m looking for him!”

As they were talking, the leisurely Long Yu had come closer. He completely ignored the uncertain faces of the people and raised the portrait in his hand high. He asked seriously, “Excuse me, which one of you is him?”

Hearing this, everyone subconsciously looked at the portrait, which showed Qin Wei. However, the Qin Wei in the portrait was very handsome and heroic, and he was completely different from the poor beggar in front of him. No wonder Long Yu couldn’t recognize him.

Qin Wei’s anxious heart was relieved when he learned that Long Yu was not Liu Xunyi’s friend. But when he saw the other party holding his portrait and naming him, Qin Wei could not help but be on guard again.

As he looked Long Yu up and down, he quickly recalled whether he had ever had any grudges with this person in the past. However, no matter how hard he thought, he still found nothing. So he made up his mind and asked directly: “Sir… who are you?”

“Long Yu.”

Long Yu introduced himself casually while fixing his eyes on Qin Wei.

In stark contrast to the cautious Qin Wei, Long Yu approached with a swagger, ignoring Chu Mao and the others who were acting as if they were facing a formidable enemy and the weapons they held tightly in their hands. He held the portrait in front of Qin Wei, and his suspicious eyes moved back and forth between Qin Wei’s face and the portrait. After he compared them carefully, he nodded with satisfaction: “I finally found the right person this time! Although he is a little thin, he must be right!”

“Long Yu? Which Long Yu?”

When Qin Wei heard the name “Long Yu”, he felt somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before. However, because he was too tired and his mind was in a mess, he thought hard for a long time but still could not figure it out.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t know me, it’s enough that I know you.” Long Yu said nonchalantly, and at the same time slowly put down the portrait he was holding high. A creepy face with a weird and evil smile slowly appeared in Qin Wei’s eyes.

Long Yu’s undisguised smile concealed a dagger, which made Qin Wei suddenly feel a tightness in his heart and a chill on his back.

This is an intuition shared by fellow masters, or it can be said to be an instinctive defense when facing an impending crisis.

Qin Wei had subconsciously realized that Long Yu, who was chatting and laughing with him, must have powerful martial arts and good means, otherwise he would not dare to intercept more than ten people with only two people in a remote road in the dark and windy night. Moreover, knowing that more than ten of them were court military officers who had fought many battles, Long Yu still acted slowly and seemed to be well prepared.

Thinking of this, Qin Wei subconsciously glanced at Ya Kun who was not far away. Seeing his ferocious appearance with fangs and claws bared, he became more and more certain of his speculation.

Considering the actual situation of our side, everyone is exhausted, listless, and almost doesn’t even have the strength to speak. How can we fight against others?

Therefore, Qin Wei decided to test Long Yu first and try to avoid a life-and-death fight. But he took a deep breath and asked calmly, “From your tone just now, you don’t seem to be Liu Xunyi’s friend?”

“In my eyes, Liu Xunyi is not even as good as a stink bug, how can he be worthy of being my friend?”

“In that case, Your Excellency, if you stop me tonight…”

At this point, Qin Wei seemed to feel that his wording was a little inappropriate, so he hesitated for a moment and changed his words: “What I mean is… I have never met you, so I think we have no grudges against each other. Moreover, since we have a common enemy, can we… join forces to do something?”

“I don’t understand what you mean.” Long Yu knew that Qin Wei was looking for an opportunity to get close to him, but he still pretended to be stupid and asked curiously, “I have a thousand ways to deal with Liu Xunyi, why should I join forces with you? What’s more, you just saved your life from Liu Xunyi’s hands, and you are a complete loser. Why would you join forces with me?”

Qin Wei couldn’t help but blush when Long Yu bluntly exposed his shortcomings. Feeling embarrassed and annoyed, he simply stopped being reserved and asked directly, “Just tell me! What do you want?”

Qin Wei was very smart. He did not ask the other party why he was looking for him, but asked what he wanted. His intention was to give the other party a psychological hint. If the other party was not determined to be his enemy, or if the other party was a greedy person, then Qin Wei’s “what do you want” would be enough to shake Long Yu’s murderous intention and give rise to greed.

As long as Long Yu’s greed is at work, Qin Wei has enough confidence to turn passivity into initiative and resolve the crisis with gentle means.

What’s more, Qin Wei secretly fantasized about taking the opportunity to recruit the two people in front of him for his own use.

He was able to make so many plans in a single thought and was so sophisticated, which showed that Qin Wei had made a lot of progress over the years.

“What can you give me?”

Long Yu asked back with great interest, which undoubtedly hit Qin Wei’s heart. A hint of pride flashed in his eyes, and then he straightened his chest and answered proudly: “I am a third-rank official in the current dynasty, the head of the East Palace Martial Pavilion. Whether you want land and houses, official positions, gold and silver, or women… I can easily satisfy you. The premise is that you are valuable enough to me!”

Qin Wei’s last sentence clearly meant that he wanted to take the initiative.

It was a pity that Long Yu neither gave him, a third-rank official of the current dynasty, any face nor gave him a chance to bargain.

“What a big tone! I’m afraid even the Emperor of Song wouldn’t dare to boast in front of me.” Qin Wei boasted of his heroic spirit, but unexpectedly he was met with ruthless ridicule from Long Yu. “If I want the Emperor of Song to abdicate, all Han men to be slaves for generations, all Han women to be prostitutes for generations, all prefectures in Song to change their flags, and all of you to submit to the Mongol Khan… can you decide on these?”

“You…you…what did you say? How dare you…”

Qin Wei was deeply shocked by Long Yu’s rebellious words. However, before he could scold him in anger, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred to his mind.

Then, Qin Wei’s eyes suddenly changed when he looked at Long Yu. His face instantly turned pale as paper and extremely solemn.

Because at this time, he had already recalled many rumors about Long Yu, and also guessed Long Yu’s true identity.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Wei’s indecision and careful planning had all fallen into an endless abyss from which there was no return.

“You…you are Long Yu! You are the ‘madman’ from Mongolia…”

“hiss!”

As soon as Qin Wei said this, all the golden sword captains’ faces suddenly changed and they all gasped.

At this moment, there was no longer any contempt or mockery in their eyes when they looked at Long Yu. Instead, there was deep fear and deep melancholy.

What frightened them was that they had heard that Long Yu was violent and cruel, and was capable of committing all kinds of evil. If they became his enemy, they would probably die without a burial place.

What’s depressing is that they ran for thousands of miles on thin ice and finally arrived safely outside the city of Lin’an, but unexpectedly they were defeated in the last thirty miles. How could this complex mixture of grief, indignation and unwillingness not make people depressed?
Amid the panic of Chu Mao and others with mixed emotions, and under Qin Wei’s slightly trembling gaze, Long Yu’s mouth corners quietly raised into a bloodthirsty grin.

“That’s right! I am the one you are thinking of… Long Yu!”

“Then go to die!”

“bass!”

“Whoosh!”

Before Long Yu finished speaking, Qin Wei, who was obviously frightened, suddenly had a fierce look in his eyes. He shouted loudly and drew his sword with his right hand. A cold light flashed, and a silver arc cut through the night sky. With the force of driving thunder and lightning, and the power to break through hard objects, it pierced Long Yu’s brow fiercely.
