Return of the Swallow

The laughing crowd finally saw hope. Halbala and Chaganbala were like two wild horses that had finally taken off their bridles and saddles. They didn't know where they got the strength to run on the ground with joy.

Uncle Arhan, who had always been calm, also hugged the tribesmen, laughed heartily, and patted the tribesmen's shoulders and backs with his remaining left arm.

Hearing what Qin Yining said, Uncle Arhan stopped and said seriously: "Yes, what you said makes sense. I will let everyone pay attention. First arrange a scout to explore the road. Thanks to you for calming down, we are all so happy . I don’t have the heart to pay attention to this at all.”

Qin Yining smiled and said: "This is human nature, and I am as happy as everyone else. But the more times this happens, the more we cannot relax and let all the hard work during this period be in vain."

"That's what you said." Uncle Arhan and his clansmen observed Qin Yining's behavior along the way. He had already been convinced by her and believed Qin Yining's suggestions every time.

Arhan turned around and said to the tribesmen: "The pursuit we encountered along the way was not fierce. It can be seen that Utkin Khan did not arrange many people in the desert. A sanctimonious person like him will definitely fight for Arhan with great fanfare. Since the number of pursuers in the desert is limited for the female devil Nari to take revenge, he must have arranged people outside the desert."

The tribesmen nodded when they heard this, and some tribesmen also panicked, "What if he really arranged someone?"

"It's not difficult at all. Let's choose two warriors who are quick in learning to be scouts. We will go ahead to explore the road first, while our team will move forward slowly, leaving this desert first to look for water. After we hear the news, we will make a decision. What’s next?”

"Okay, just listen to uncle!"

The tribesmen responded in unison.

Arhan explained to Qin Yining again. Qin Yining smiled and nodded: "You have fought in the war and have experience. I don't understand these things. It's all up to uncle's arrangement."

Uncle Arhan was happy to hear this, and then he chose two scouts to go to the charcoal furnace.

And their team was quickly organized. A thousand people did not lengthen the team, but gathered together in a diamond square formation to deal with various sudden dangers.

The team moved forward cautiously and slowly.

Because of Arhan's words just now, the whole team became cautious. Everyone was watching and listening in all directions, as if a wild beast would suddenly emerge from a corner and bite them.

After marching like this for half an hour, the sky became a little dark.

After this period of time, everyone who was tensed up began to relax a little. Even Qin Yining had some doubts about whether he was being too worried.

Just when she was thinking about whether to let everyone stop for a while, someone on the left wing of the team suddenly let out a loud shout. The sound of lack of water was hoarse, like a dull knife being scraped on a rough stone slab.

"There are pursuers! It's pursuers!"

Not far away, a group of about a hundred cavalrymen were seen galloping towards them. They all waved big knives in their hands, and their loud laughter and shouts shocked this group of "refugees" who had just reached the edge of the desert.

Someone panicked.

At this time, Arhan shouted loudly in Tatar: "Keep calm and chop off the horse's legs! Give them some color and let them know that there are no cowards in our Minoan tribe!"

Along the way, they thought of many ways to deal with emergencies. There were also some remnants among these people, and they would also take the time to teach those around them how to deal with the enemy.

Although they saw so many people rushing over with machetes, after being reminded by Uncle Arhan, everyone who had gone through the cruel baptism of the desert forced themselves to calm down and did not show panic. Instead, they changed their formation and faced the enemy.

Qin Yining stood guard next to Lu Heng's lying horse. He also held a machete in his hand, pursed his lips, and stared at the enemy's movements with sharp eyes, as if he could rush forward and kill him anytime and anywhere. The uncle couldn't help but nodded.

Originally, there were about 150 cavalrymen stationed in this central place.

Utkingham arranged the place and did not arrange too many people. Because according to the calculations of the Khan and his counselors, this was the farthest direction from the border of the Great Zhou after leaving the desert. Unless this group of people got dizzy in the desert, it would be impossible to go around this far.

Because it is too remote and the least likely place for anyone to come, they don't have as many people stationed there as in other strongholds.

I just didn't expect that this group of people who were not afraid of death actually ran to this most unlikely place.

The pursuers looked at Minobu as if they were looking at the white money, the lively livestock and the countless beauties.

Because the Khan said that whoever can capture the two murderers of Anari Khan in Dazhou will be promoted to a high position, enjoy glory and wealth, and be rewarded with thousands of taels of silver and hundreds of beauties.

These people were as desperate as chickens, and the people of the Minuo tribe in front of them were in such a sorry state that they didn't take them seriously at all.

Therefore, despite underestimating the enemy, these people still suffered a loss.

The sound of fighting and roaring came from the grassland, and the strong wind blew, bringing with it the strong smell of blood.

In the melee, the Mino tribe achieved a tragic victory.

Although more than a hundred enemies were wiped out and a lot of horses, weapons, dry food and water were captured, nearly two hundred tribesmen stayed here forever.

Uncle Arhan choked with sobs: "If we weren't too tired in the desert, thirsty and hungry, and we didn't have weapons and equipment, we wouldn't have sacrificed so many people here. "

Everyone is sad. Qin Yining looked at the clansmen cleaning the battlefield and couldn't help but lower his head and wipe his tears.

The only thing they can be thankful for is that they have more horses and weapons, as well as more water and dry food, and they have successfully left the desert.

They pulled themselves together and did a head count outside in the desert.

Qin Yining took a sip of water to moisten his dry throat, and then said to Arhan: "Uncle Arhan. I think there must be a camp for the group of people nearby. Everyone should rest for a while and wait until their physical strength recovers. We tried our best to seize the camp. There must be people staying there, but we were unprepared and everyone recovered, so we have a good chance of winning. As long as we win, we will have enough food, grass and supplies."

Arhan nodded repeatedly and said: "We thought of going somewhere. I thought so too. We came out of the desert all the way to make a living for the tribe. Don't we still need the supplies if we have them? Brothers, do you think so? ah!"

"Yes! You don't have to feel guilty at all if you steal the dog Khan's!"

"Grab him, rob him!"

The warriors who had just lost their clan members were aroused with hatred. Thinking of those who died tragically in their families, they were willing to do anything that could cause trouble to the royal family.

"Okay! Then let's figure out how to mess with him!"

Uncle Arhan was very charismatic. He quickly blended into the crowd and called the captains of each team to come and study.

The final agreement was that the weak ones and the healthy and strong women who came with them would all stay. Arhan and Chaganbala took 300 people and planned a surprise attack on the garrison.

After the two scouts who explored the road came back, they informed everyone of the direction of the camp. Arhan and Chaganbala set off with three hundred people.

Harbala took the other tribesmen and stayed where they were with Qin Yining and Lu Heng.

Qin Yining was a little worried.

But after all, she was an outsider in matters such as fighting, so she still had to trust Uncle Arhan's experience.

Qin Yining and his two young wives put Lu Heng down from the horse. Melt the snow water in an earthen pot, boil it, let it cool and feed it to him.

Lu Heng was often in coma these days and was very weak. At this time, Qin Yining fed him water, but he couldn't feed him for a long time, and the water would overflow from the corners of his closed lips.

Qin Yining wiped the water off his chin with a handkerchief again, frowning worriedly.

If Lu Heng's situation gets worse, it may be really dangerous. They had to get him settled quickly and find a way to find medicine for him.

Qin Yining found a clean handkerchief, dipped it in water and wiped Lu Heng's face. He was not in good health these days. His cheeks had become sunken and the stubble on his chin was prickly. Qin Yining carefully wiped his face. , and washed the handkerchief to wipe his hands clean.

Perhaps the touch of wiping was too cold, and Lu Heng finally managed to regain some consciousness from his groggy sleep.

"Are you awake?" Qin Yining said happily: "How are you? Drink some water, we have walked out of the desert!"

Qin Yining's voice was full of joy. Lu Heng looked at her and couldn't help but laugh. His voice was hoarse as if it had been rubbed with sandpaper, "I know, I feel that my face is clean." If he didn't walk out of the desert, where would the extra money come from? Water for scrubbing?

Qin Yining laughed and brought him warm water: "Now we are not short of water. You drink more water. This water is boiled water that has been cooled and clean. You need to drink more water to get better quickly."

Qin Yining helped Lu Heng up, fed him water, and soaked the captured rice cakes in hot water until soft and fed them to him.

Lu Hengqiang cheered up and asked about the current situation in the clan while eating.

Qin Yining told Lu Heng that Uncle Arhan and Chagan Bala led their people to attack the enemy camp. Lu Heng smiled and nodded: "I can rest assured that you will do things."

"Is that why you fell asleep with peace of mind?" Qin Yining joked with a smile.

Lu Heng couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

After drinking enough water and eating hot food, Lu Heng felt that he was feeling much better. Although he was groggy, he did not fall asleep immediately. Instead, he was wrapped in thick cotton clothes and listened to Qin Yining as she talked about the past few days. He did not fall asleep again until he couldn't hold it anymore.

When the white fish belly appears in the east, Uncle Arhan brings good things.

As expected, they successfully attacked the camp and captured a lot of food and horses.

After hearing the news, everyone cheered and headed towards the camp.

Qin Yining looked at the cheering Minuo tribesmen and couldn't help but let out a long breath and said, "Let's just take a good rest today. Let's discuss the departure tomorrow."
