Return of the Swallow

As a result, the Mino tribe immediately divided into two groups, composed of men who still had some fighting ability and some strong women, and followed Halbala and Chaganbala across the desert.

The other group is composed of old people, children, sick women, and men who are disabled and cannot participate in the battle. They have to find a habitat outside the desert.

There are also mothers and children, husbands and wives, but the strong men and the women who are willing to bear the sword are fighting for the future of the tribe, even at the expense of their own lives.

For the tribesmen who stayed outside the desert, they were warriors, heroes, and the hope that the tribe could regain prosperity.

If only the old, weak, sick and disabled are left in the Minuo tribe, then the people of the Minuo tribe will only be slaves in the future, and future generations will continue to be bullied.

After preparing water and dry food, and bringing along tribesmen who were good at finding water sources in the desert, Qin Yining's team of about a thousand people set off towards the desert.

Different from the last time he entered the desert, Siqin did not make sufficient preparations at that time, but was chased into the desert by the pursuers. He brought many people along the way, but the water and dry food were limited, so Siqin was in the desert. The prisoners were abandoned one by one on the road, and in the end even the Qingtian Alliance members who knew the whereabouts of the treasure were left to fend for themselves in the desert.

Qin Yining had already planned to enter the desert this time, and the people of the Minuo tribe had made sufficient preparations. Although the journey was tiring and hard, these one thousand people could at least ensure their own safety, and no one would die due to lack of water.

At this time, Utkin Khan's pursuers had also caught up with the Minuo tribe.

But everyone had already discussed it and insisted that they didn't know where the rest of the tribe was. Siqin was just as Lu Heng and Qin Yining had planned. The man who had just ascended the throne did not do anything to those who stayed outside the desert for the sake of his reputation for kindness. The Minuo tribe took action and asked them to stay where they were and to be self-sufficient. They were not to disturb other tribes and were not allowed to enter nearby towns.

At this time, Si Qin could already conclude that Qin Yining and his party had entered the desert.

"What a courageous person. Ben Khan underestimated these two people."

I thought that the people coming from the Great Zhou Dynasty were all cowards with strong brains but weak actions, but I didn’t expect that these two people actually dared to lead a group of unfamiliar Mino tribe people into the desert!

The accompanying military commander looked at Si Qin's face and couldn't help but remain silent.

Although Siqin was always tolerant towards his subordinates and was a benevolent gentleman,

But everyone knows that Khan and Anari Khan are childhood sweethearts, and their relationship is the deepest.

The whereabouts of Anari Khan's assassin have been found, but they were not caught up. I wonder how angry Khan will be now.

After all, they were used to Anari Khan's ruthless methods. Even if Utkin Khan was not that kind of person, they were still afraid in their hearts.

The leading general was an old man who used to follow Siqin when he was in the army. He was familiar with Siqin and knew that Siqin was not someone who would vent his anger, so he was the only one who dared to stand up and ask: "Khan, are we still pursuing him?" ?”

Si Qin pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then said: "It is really difficult to chase after entering the desert. Firstly, it is too dangerous, and secondly, the weather in the desert is too bad, and it is difficult to control the direction of defense. Don't let the soldiers go in vain. My life was lost in vain.”

"That's what the Khan said."

Generally, when they encounter such a bad situation in a battle, they will not continue to pursue, lest they cause unnecessary casualties.

Si Qin usually teaches these generals, and often says, "Good steel should be used on the blade." It is not wise to let warriors die for nothing.

Si Qin stood up, his tall head almost touching the roof of the simple tent.

He walked to the simple wooden table beside him and carefully observed the map on it with his hands behind his hands.

When everyone saw this, they followed him. Others were thoughtful and brought the lampstand in front of them.

On the map are the mountains and rivers of Tatar, and the grass growing in the desert.

His rough fingers, which had been holding weapons all year round, followed the direction of the desert and finally pointed at several points along the border of the Great Perimeter.

"Send people to station outside the desert in the direction of Dazhou. Pay special attention to these points. Once someone comes out of the desert, arrest him immediately."

"yes!"

The subordinates were shocked and shouted loudly.

Seeing that Siqin did not care about the life and death of the soldiers because he was eager to avenge Anari Khan, everyone respected the new Khan even more.

In the past, Siqin relied on his illustrious military exploits and outstanding command to convince the soldiers under his command.

Nowadays, his calmness, wisdom and benevolence make everyone feel at ease.

Although it is a bit disrespectful to say it, as a Khan, Siqin is indeed much better than Anari Khan.

In just a short time after taking the throne, the Tatars have taken on a new look in a short period of time. Everyone does not have to worry about being captured and killed for no reason. The new Khan is not a tyrant and will not take advantage of them--\u003e\u003e

Their lives don't matter, they just need to do their jobs seriously and they will get good treatment. With such a Khan, they can work with peace of mind and just use their talents and abilities.

Everyone was in an excited mood and started to do things according to Si Qin's instructions.

At this time, Qin Yining's team of nearly a thousand people braved the severe cold and hid in the lee behind a pile of sand to rest.

The gathering place was quiet, and no one had the energy to speak. At this time, you should try to save as much energy as possible. Saying more unnecessary words seems to be a waste of water and food.

Qin Yining looked at Lu Heng, who was lying next to her, wrapped in cotton clothes and still shivering from the cold, with his eyes closed and his lips turned white, and he couldn't help but frown in worry.

They walked very cautiously along the way, but the speed was even slower than before entering the desert, because Lu Heng was infected with the wind and cold, and the momentum was fierce, and the treatment was not timely. The medicinal materials were rare in the hands of the people in the Minuo tribe, and Lu Heng's illness was also very serious. It's hard not to be delayed.

Come to think of it, Lu Heng had grown up pampered in the Lu family. He had never experienced such a big change, let alone such pain. Ever since they fled Dadu this time, Lu Heng's tight string seemed to have suddenly broken, and he couldn't express his anger. In addition, they were living in difficult conditions, so it was not surprising that they would suffer such a serious illness.

However, everyone expected that Qin Yining would get sick, but the one who fell ill was Lu Heng, who looked much healthier. But everyone guessed wrong.

Due to Lu Heng's illness, Qin Yining, Harbala and Chaganbala were responsible for taking care of him.

Qin Yining was careful and gave her horse to Lu Heng. She led the horse and followed him. She took good care of Lu Heng. It was just that some things were inconvenient for her to do, so she asked Halbala and Chaganbala. .

They originally thought that Qin Yining was a delicate and delicate woman, and it was surprising that she could let the horses out. What they didn't expect was that Qin Yining could still insist on walking in the desert. Moreover, her physical strength is limited, but she will never drag others down, let alone be willful. She will take a sip of water with restraint, and will never let others take less sips of water because of her.

Beautiful women are admirable.

Among the bold and unrestrained nation of Tatar, beautiful and strong women are even more fascinating.

Her strength is surprising and admirable, and her intelligence and calmness are also convincing. Even though they knew she was a married woman, there were still many young men in the clan who were very fond of her and were willing to give her their dry food and water. But she never accepted it.

Qin Yining can appreciate everyone's goodwill, but he will not snatch other people's things. In the desert, water and food are the most important things to maintain life. If she eats and drinks other people's food, it will put others in greater danger of death. She will never do such a thing.

Lu Heng's illness made Qin Yining very worried. After all, they shared the same sorrow, and Lu Heng was her savior. This friend really did his best for her. She tried her best to repay him, so naturally she couldn't give up on him. However, the conditions were limited, and they had to live together. Rushing in the desert, it was impossible to recuperate in such a situation, which made Lu Heng's situation look even more dangerous.

Another problem is Qin Yining's language barrier.

Qin Yining still only knows simple words such as eating, resting, relieving herself, etc. She can't understand or speak anything more complex. If Lu Heng was unconscious and unable to speak, communicating with others would become the biggest problem.

And Lu Heng's current situation is that he sleeps and wakes up sometimes, and often misses important things. Qin Yining gives emergency instructions when something happens, but most people don't understand.

Fortunately, there was Uncle Alhan who had lost his arm. If Qin Yining did not use complicated words and only spoke simple meanings, Uncle Alhan could understand him and help him explain to the tribesmen around him. You can also translate the words of the tribesmen to her in simple Dazhou dialect, which will make it much easier for her to listen to the news and issue orders.

"He still has a fever." Arhan said anxiously: "What will happen if this continues? There is no doctor in our team, and it seems that his body is not very strong."

Qin Yining was also worried and tightened the cotton robe covering Lu Heng's body. At this time, it would be best to cover Lu Heng's forehead with a cold handkerchief, or wipe his body with wine to cool down Lu Heng. But now their conditions, drinking water have to be calculated, just keep yourself from dying of thirst, want to give It is even more impossible for Lu Heng to cover the veil.

At the critical moment of life and death, Qin Yining couldn't figure out what else was going on, so he covered Lu Heng's forehead with his frozen hands.

Lu Heng seemed to feel a little more comfortable. He rubbed his hand against hers and murmured with his pale and chapped lips: "It's so cold."

Qin Yining frowned, feeling helpless.

If Lu Heng lost his life, she would be so sorry for him.

If Mu Jinghu and Lu Heng hadn't followed the situation that day, and if Lu Heng hadn't ignored the terms negotiated with Siqin and spared no effort to help, she might have been insulted to death.

She will definitely repay Mu Jinghu's kindness.

And she hadn't had time to repay Lu Heng's kindness. How could he die in the desert like this?
