The guards at Beishan Fort were very lax, and no one glanced at Long Qie. He entered the fort easily. However, despite the old man's advice, Long Qie still found Wu Nian's house after asking someone.
The door is open.
There was some noise behind the door.
Long Qie stepped through the gate and looked up at the yard. In the small yard, there were chickens running around on the ground, and five people were practicing boxing.
Long Qie didn't bother, just crossed his arms and looked at it, nodding from time to time.
This punch is a bit special, he has never seen it before, but it is indeed a good punch.
Wu Nianzheng took Wang Gui, Tieniu, Li Yong, and Zhang Sheng to practice Juntiquan, and he had noticed Long Qie for a long time.
Moreover, he smelled the smell of blood from Long Qie's body, and when he thought of the relationship between him and Cheng Gao, he felt a little wary.
However, it is easy to dodge open guns and hard to prevent hidden arrows.
Wu Nian is not afraid of one-on-one confrontation.
Besides, there are four people behind him.
Seeing that Long Qi didn't move, Wu Nian continued to lead everyone to finish practicing the Juntiquan. After the last move was completed, Wu Nian stood up with his fist closed and let out a breath of turbid air.
"My strong man, what can I do for you?" Wu Nian raised his head and asked Long Qie with his fists clasped.
Wang Gui, Tieniu and others also looked wary and raised their heads to look at Long Qie.
"I am Longqie from Dingxian County and a traveling boxer. I always like to make friends with heroes. I heard that there was a tiger-fighting hero in Beishan Fort, so I came here to make friends with him."
Long Qie remained calm, cupped his fists and saluted.
His aura was bold and his eyes were magnanimous, which made Wu Nian feel good about him.
Could it be that I guessed wrong?
"I am Wu Nian. I don't want to be a tiger hunting hero. That big tiger cannot be dealt with by one person. I was able to successfully hunt it because of the help of my brothers."
Wu Nian turned his head, raised his hand and swept Tieniu and the other four people before turning back and saying.
"Wu Zhuangshi is so humble. Facing a huge tiger weighing hundreds of kilograms, he is already a hero if he can keep from pissing himself off, let alone lead people to hunt it. This requires extraordinary courage."
Long Qie shook his head and said with admiration.
Although Long Qie was very imposing, he was always polite. Tieniu and others also became fond of him and relaxed their vigilance slightly.
"Then I'd like to thank you for your love, strong man." Wu Nian smiled slightly, then bent down and said, "My place is small, and I don't have much good food to entertain. I can only prepare a small amount of wine for you, strong man."
After saying that, Wu Nian turned to Wang Gui and said, "Brother, go and cut three kilograms of cooked meat and buy some peanuts."
"Yes." Wang Gui responded and walked out immediately.
The light in Long Qie's eyes flashed away. When facing strangers, Wu Nian was able to cut meat and prepare banquets to entertain them, and he was indeed a generous person.
Wu Nian invited Long Qie to sit down in the kitchen. He first set the wine bowls and invited everyone to sit down. After Wang Gui came back, everyone exchanged cups and started eating and drinking together.
Long Qie never showed any hostility, as if he really came to visit.
As the two talked, their relationship became closer.
"Brother Wu, when I was outside the fort, I heard an old man say: You raise and train soldiers, and you are a good official. Nowadays, officials only take bribes and bend the law, and military attachés only drink the blood of soldiers and eat empty pay. You let I admire you." Long Qie put down his wine bowl, showed his thumb towards Wu Nian, and said with admiration on his face.
After all, Wu Nian was a little younger. If he was a killer, he would definitely not be so ink-stained and just kill people with a knife.
He is really a dragon and a charlatan who loves to make friends. He smiled and shook his head and said, "This is also a helpless move."
"Oh. How do you say this?" Long Qie pretended to be surprised and asked.
Tieniu, Wang Gui, and Zhang Sheng accompanied him and did not interrupt. They just covered their heads and ate meat.
Wu Nian picked up the wine bowl and took a sip, stretched out his hand, pinched a peanut, peeled it off and ate it, then said: "If there is peace, I won't even be a soldier, I will just find a way to do business. Buy fields, buy slaves, and become a rich family. Isn’t Weng very good?”
"Aren't the Meng Yuan people getting stronger and stronger now? We Liaodong people directly face the Mongolian Yuan people's cavalry, and our lives are precarious."
"This broken place, Beishan Fort, is like paper. It will break if you poke it."
"If the Meng Yuan people really attack, I can protect myself with my brothers here. As the saying goes, one chopstick is easy to break, but two chopsticks are not easy to break."
Tieniu and others all nodded, Wu Nian had told them this.
Long Qie nodded and said, "That's right."
He also picked up the wine bowl and took a sip, put it down gently, and said calmly: "If the Meng Yuan people really attack Beishan Fort. Brother, how are you going to protect yourself? Surrender? Defend? Or run away?"
Tieniu became angry, slapped the table and stood up, staring straight at Long Qie and said, "Surrender? How can we, Lord Xiaoqi, surrender?"
"Hey. Tieniu, don't do this." Wu Nian reached out to stop Tieniu, then looked up at Long Qie. He felt a little strange. This guy seemed to have a deep meaning when he said this.
However, he was also magnanimous and said: "I, Wu Nian, am a Han Chinese, and I will definitely not surrender to the barbarians. As for defending or escaping, it depends on the situation. If a hundred Mongolians come to attack Beishan Fort, then Defensively, of course.”
"If there are tens of thousands of people coming to attack, then I'd better put oil on the soles of my feet to avoid the sharp edge for the time being."
Long Qie shook his head and said: "What are barbarians? What are Han people? These days, if you have money, you are your father, and if you have milk, you are your mother. Since the rise of the Mongolian people, how many Han people have surrendered to the Mongolian people, and they are popular and drink spicy food." Brother Wu, with your ability, you might as well submit to the Meng Yuan people, and you will inevitably gain wealth."
"You!!!" Not only Tieniu was angry, but Wang Gui and the three people present were also angry. They glared at Long Qie, but Wu Nian stopped him.
He turned his head to look at Long Qie, showing an inquiring look, and said, "Brother, please forgive me for my bluntness. When I first saw you, I felt that you were not just an idle person, but a hero who had been fighting for a long time. The kind who kills without blinking an eye. I have offended someone recently, and I suspect that you were sent by that person to kill me."
"After drinking, I think you are just a gangster who just came to visit."
"Now I think you are the lobbyist of the Meng Yuan people. But I, Wu Nian, am just a small flag. How can I be qualified to enjoy the lobbyists specially sent by the Meng Yuan people to persuade me to surrender?"
"Who are you? What is your purpose?"
Tieniu, Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, and Li Yong stood up and spread out to surround Long Qie.
Long Qi remained motionless, sitting like a mountain. His eyes moved, but there was no change in his expression. He looked up at Wu Nian and said, "Brother, you answered my question first. If the Meng Yuan people use a lot of gold to ask you to surrender, will you surrender?"
Wu Nian was really confused and a little unhappy. But he still answered decisively and said: "Even if I, Wu Nian, die, I will not surrender to the Meng Yuan people."
After Wu Nian finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at Long Qie and asked, "It's your turn now, brother. What is your purpose?"
