Chapter 765: Strong Disruption (Part )

Although the "Three Heroes of the Qin Family" are dissatisfied with Qin Ku, Qin Ku is still the head of the Qin family today, and they are still the descendants of the Qin family. Therefore, when they see the head of the family being provoked, they will never stand idly by.

"Long Yu, you are too arrogant!"

Qin Da and Qin San came forward from the left and right, forcing their way into the narrow space between Qin Ku and Long Yu, each using half of their body to protect Qin Ku behind them, and their noses almost touched Long Yu's, which showed how close the distance between them was.

"Boy, if you want to cause trouble for my master, you'll have to walk over our dead bodies!"

Hearing this, Qin Ku, who was standing behind the two of them, was stunned. He had always believed that the "Three Heroes of the Qin Family" only hated him and had no recognition of him at all, but he did not expect that at this critical moment, they would take the initiative to stand up and protect him from disaster.

Strangely, this long-lost "family affection" did not make Qin Ku feel happy, but very sad. Because he always unconsciously recalled his parents, especially his father who was persecuted to death, his heart was full of mixed feelings.

"Why are you being heroic?"

Before Long Yu could attack Qin Da and Qin San, Qin Ku had already pushed them away and complained, "I'm talking to me, why are you talking so much?"

After saying that, Qin Ku cast a conflicted look at Long Yu, then stole a glance at Ya Kun who was staring at him hungrily. His Adam's apple moved slightly, and he swallowed subconsciously.

"Boss, I'm actually not very familiar with that bastard Qin Ming..."

When Qin Ku opened his mouth, everyone present almost dropped their jaws. No one expected that at this critical moment, he would not only fail to show any heroism, but instead utter such a spineless excuse in a servile manner.

What's the difference between Qin Ku's words and kneeling down to beg for mercy?

For a moment, all the Qin family disciples blushed and felt ashamed, and the Lu family disciples made no effort to hide their contempt and disdain for Qin Ku.

Long Yu seemed to be frightened by Qin Ku's servility. He was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to respond.

"I know you and Qin Ming have a grudge. To be honest, I've also disliked that bastard for a long time, and I killed him before you did." Qin Ku explained seriously, "As for what happened in the Qin family... it has nothing to do with me. As the saying goes, 'every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor'. The trouble Qin Ming caused can only be solved by himself. It seems a bit wrong to put his bad debt on my head."

At this moment, Qin Ku was servile and submissive, with a fawning smile on his face. He was completely different from the "Master Qin" who was incompatible with Lu Tingxiang and fought to the death just now.

In the final analysis, Qin Ku did not want to fight to the death with Long Yu, because the situation had not yet developed to the point where it was out of control, which was completely different from Lu Tingxiang who would rather die than give in.

Furthermore, Long Yu was Su He's reinforcement, and Su He was Liu Xunyi's friend. Therefore, Qin Ku didn't need to intervene in this matter, Su He would come forward to solve it. If he didn't even give Su He a chance to get out of the predicament, and just went head-to-head with Long Yu in a rage, it would be difficult to end it.

Of course, there was another reason that forced Qin Ku to compromise, that is, "a good man does not suffer a loss in front of him." He knew that Long Yu came prepared, and if there was a head-on conflict, I'm afraid that few of the Qin family disciples present tonight would be able to leave alive.

Qin Ku's opportunism seems to be bullying the weak and fearing the strong, but in fact it is a great wisdom. It's a pity that there are not many people in the world who can understand him.

In the current situation, the best scenario is that Su He comes forward and persuades Long Yu to make concessions, so that there will be no fighting and no deaths, and everyone will be happy. If this is the case, Qin Ku will not only bow and smile, but he will also kneel down and kowtow to Long Yu three times without hesitation.

Qin Ku has been reduced to poverty since childhood. He knows very well that "face" and "dignity" are not as important as tangible benefits. Saving his life is more important than anything else. In his opinion, exchanging insignificant vanity for tangible benefits is the most cost-effective deal in the world.

The "good lot" was that Qin Ku and Long Yu fought alone to minimize unnecessary casualties. As for the desperate fight to the death, which made the Qin family disciples and the Mongolian soldiers fight openly, it was definitely the "bad lot" he was most reluctant to draw.

Sure enough, as soon as Qin Ku finished speaking, Su He came closer.

"I am here tonight, and I will not allow you to do anything wrong!"

"Su He, who are your ancestors? Who gave you what you have today?" Long Yu said in a fierce voice, "I just killed a few Song dogs. It would be fine if you didn't help me, but you held me back. What's your intention?"

"Long Yu, I'm not trying to scare you. If you insist on doing what you want, you may not be able to leave the Weizhou Inn tonight!" Su He said in a deep voice, "Even if you return alive, you won't be able to explain to the Khan!"

"Don't worry about me. You should think about how to explain the Yunya Town incident to the Khan! Get out of here!"

However, facing Long Yu's impatience, Su He held his head high and stood in front of him quietly like a spear. Even if Long Yu put the dagger on Su He's neck, he refused to retreat even a step.

"Do you think I dare not kill you?" Long Yu's eyes gradually became crazy.

Looking at Su He and Long Yu who were confronting each other, Lu Tingxiang gradually felt a little uneasy.

From the beginning to the end, he had been assessing the situation and making secret calculations. At the moment, Su He came forward to stop Long Yu, most likely out of consideration for Liu Xunyi and Qin Ku's feelings. Looking at Long Yu's relentless attitude, it seemed that he was unwilling to give up easily.

If Long Yu went crazy, Su He would never really fall out with him. After all, Long Yu came here on the orders of the Mongolian Khan, and Su He understood the greater good, and even if he didn't care about Long Yu's life, he had to take the Khan's majesty into consideration.

By then, Su He is very likely to make concessions to Long Yu, and the way to make concessions... can only be to divert Long Yu's attention, so that Qin Ku and Liu Xunyi will not have to worry, and Long Yu can satisfy his killing desire, and both sides can save face.

Tonight at the Weizhou Inn, apart from the two thousand elite soldiers brought by Long Yu, there are only three groups of troops left.

The first is the people who pick up and send off the bride, the second is the Qin family, and the third is the Lu family. Based on Su He's personality, the first two will never let Long Yu hurt them, so once the spearhead is diverted, the only one who will bear Long Yu's anger and disaster is... the Jiangnan Lu Mansion.

Thinking of this, Lu Tingxiang felt more and more that danger was lurking everywhere and time was running out, so after a little thought, he proposed to Qin Ku: "Master Qin, I have a plan, which may be the only way for the Lu and Qin families to escape unscathed."

"What method?" Qin Ku was skeptical, "Tell me about it."

"It has come to this. We have no way to retreat. Rather than surrender and be defeated by them one by one, it is better for you and I to join forces... to get rid of Long Yu first."

"Hiss!" As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the inn.

On the second floor, Liu Xunyi's mood became increasingly heavy. With his intelligence, he could naturally see through Lu Tingxiang's thoughts at a glance.

"In order to protect himself, Lu Tingxiang did not hesitate to drag the Qin family into the water, and even undermined Brother Su behind his back. He is really insidious and cunning."

Hearing Liu Xunyi's sigh, Feng Tianba couldn't help but frown and said hesitantly: "Master Liu, do you think... Can Xia Su turn the tide?"

"I don't know..." Liu Xunyi's face was full of worry, and he shook his head slowly, "Long Yu's mood is unpredictable, and he may not be willing to listen to Brother Su's advice..."

"This……"

"Maybe he won't listen to Su He's advice, but I don't know if he will listen to my advice?"

At this critical moment when the situation was tense and at the brink of collapse, a hoarse and weak voice suddenly sounded from behind Liu Xunyi.

Hearing this, Liu Xunyi was shocked and turned around hurriedly, only to see Zhao Xin, with disheveled hair and haggard face, slowly walking out of the guest room accompanied by Wuchan.

"Princess!"

"Xin'er?"

When they saw Zhao Xin, Ding Qinghong and Liu Xunyi's eyes changed at the same time. The difference was that Liu Xunyi's eyes were full of concern and worry, while Ding Qinghong's eyes showed a hint of hesitation and entanglement.

He wanted to follow Jin Fuyu's secret order to get rid of Zhao Xin, but given the current situation, even if he succeeded in a sneak attack, he might not be able to escape. More importantly, Ding Qinghong didn't want to exchange his life with Zhao Xin's.

Liu Xunyi stepped forward to help him, but Zhao Xin reached out first and grabbed his tattered robe stained with blood, and asked anxiously: "Are you injured again?"

"It's just an old injury, it's nothing serious!" Liu Xunyi said softly, "Why don't you rest in your room..."

"How can I sleep peacefully with all the noise downstairs?"

Zhao Xin smiled bitterly, and then staggered to the railing with the support of Liu Xunyi. Looking at the messy lobby, especially seeing the bodies lying all over the place and the knife wounds everywhere, she couldn't help but be shocked. Her beautiful eyes filled with fear and surprise trembled slightly, her breathing gradually became rapid, and she even forgot to speak for a moment.

"The princess is here, why don't you kneel down and pay your respects?"

Following Feng Tianba's loud shout, everyone was stunned and looked up towards the second floor.

Upon seeing Zhao Xin, Su He, who was at a loss, suddenly showed joy, knelt down first, and said loudly: "Greetings, Princess!"

Qin Ku reacted very quickly, knowing that Zhao Xin was the "rescuer", so he no longer hesitated and hurriedly called the Qin family disciples to kowtow and worship: "Greetings, Princess!"

Seeing this, Lu Tingxiang predicted that Zhao Xin's appearance would break the deadlock, so he led the Lu family disciples to kneel down and salute.

"Why don't you kneel when you see the princess?" Su He looked around at the Mongolian soldiers and said in a deep voice, "Disrespecting the princess is disrespecting the prince, and disrespecting the prince is disrespecting the Khan!"

Hearing this, the bewildered soldiers all looked terrified. After looking at each other for a while, they all fell to their knees.

In the blink of an eye, except for Long Yu, the only dead person left in the lobby of the inn who did not salute Zhao Xin.

"Long Yu, why don't you kneel?"

"Su He, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You're just pretending to be nice so that the Princess of Song can help you out." Long Yu said with a sinister smile, "Now, she hasn't had the wedding ceremony with the prince yet, so she can't be considered the princess."

"Even if she's not a princess, she's a potential princess." Su He retorted, "Do you want the princess to think there are no rules and etiquette on the grassland? Do you want the princess to harbor resentment towards Mongolia? Do you want the princess to mistakenly believe that she is marrying a prince from a barbaric tribe? The princess is still ill. If her condition worsens due to your rudeness, how will you explain it to the prince?"

"Su He!" Long Yu was furious and said word by word, "You don't have to use the prince to pressure me..."

"Pressure you?" Su He chuckled, "You should know the prince's temper. You can quibble in front of me, but in front of the prince... do you think you will have a chance to explain?"

Su He's words were like a sword piercing the heart, causing the unruly Long Yu's expression to freeze instantly. Unexpectedly, a hint of deep fear emerged in his arrogant eyes.

That’s right, it’s not hesitation, not worry, and certainly not fear, but real fear!
Just ask, what kind of person is it who can make a notorious "madman" tremble in fear?
Seeing this, Zhao Xin wanted to speak up to exempt Long Yu from the courtesy, but was stopped by Liu Xunyi calmly.

Zhao Xin's confused eyes first looked at Liu Xunyi, then at Su He, and finally at Long Yu, whose facial features were ferocious and his expression was complicated.

After a long silence, Long Yu finally couldn't resist the awe he felt for Hu Lie in his heart, so he knelt on one knee unwillingly and said without raising his head: "Long Yu...Greetings, Princess!"

Seeing this scene, Su He and Liu Xunyi, who were both worried, breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They looked at each other inadvertently, and their brows were filled with joy and relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders.

Looking at Qin Ku, Lu Tingxiang, Sikong Zhu, Ding Ao and Dong Xiaoer, they all felt grateful for surviving the disaster.

However, compared to Qin Ku's satisfaction, Lu Tingxiang's mood was mixed with humiliation and shame of returning empty-handed.
