Return of the Swallow

Everyone who was immersed in the joy of escaping from the desert and winning the camp was somewhat alerted by Lu Heng's words.

They calmed down and began to think about their current situation.

Guarding the outskirts of the desert must be the troops arranged by Siqin.

The reason why they left the desert and happened to meet this relatively small team was because Qin Yining had been advocating going in this direction while they were in the desert.

Some of them no longer know the direction and just follow the crowd. There are also people who know the direction and feel that the farther they go, the farther away from the border of Dazhou, and they think Qin Yining's command is wrong.

But thinking about it now, Qin Yining must have expected that Si Qin would arrange troops outside to wait and see.

With their current improved strength, if they encounter a large group of pursuers, they still have no chance of winning, let alone when they have just left the desert and are exhausted?

It can be said that the direction Qin Yining chose is equivalent to saving everyone's life. Otherwise, they would have sacrificed more than just the two hundred tribesmen.

After realizing the seriousness of the current situation, everyone finally came to their senses from their dazed state and finally put their feet on the ground.

"What Mr. Lu said makes sense. Uncle Arhan, what do you think we should do?" Chagan Bala asked with a frown.

Arhan thought for a while and said: "The best way now is to order people to explore the road first, find out the situation outside, and determine the location of other camps so that we can avoid it."

Harbala said: "We are not afraid of them. If we really encounter the Khan's army, none of our Meno warriors will retreat without a fight!"

Lu Heng smiled and nodded when he heard this, and said slowly: "You are right. The warriors of the Minuo tribe are not afraid of those. But in my humble opinion, unnecessary conflicts will do us no good. Unless we encounter a battle that must be fought, For example, we encountered food and other things that are good for our people.”

Chagan Bala smiled and said: "Yes, the tribesmen are fighting desperately. If you don't want anything and just fight, wouldn't it be too reckless?"

After saying this, everyone in the room laughed.

Although Qin Yining couldn't understand what they said, he felt relieved when he saw that the atmosphere had changed from heavy to relaxed.

Finally, Lu Heng and everyone agreed together,

After setting up a waiting room to explore the surroundings, the tribesmen left in the camp organized themselves and were ready to set off at any time.

After the news was conveyed, the tribesmen immediately got busy without any objection.

Compared to the harsh conditions of the desert, even though the weather is cold now, there is sometimes heavy snow. Everyone is also full of hope for the future.

After Siqin ascended to the position of Khan, it took him a while to finally stabilize the entire Tatar court. What everyone mentioned was the issue of enriching the harem.

Some courtiers in the palace suggested that a beauty pageant should be held for Siqin immediately, and all the Tatar tribes should send beauties.

Because when Anaz became the regent, almost everyone in the original Tatar royal family was dead. Originally, everyone thought that the child born by Anari would be the crown prince.

Now that Anari has been assassinated, there is no woman around Siqin. If Siqin has another one, won't the Tatar royal family have no successor?

In order to stabilize the country, the ministers tried their best to persuade them to work hard and attract beautiful people.

But Siqin said solemnly at the court meeting: "The only person I love most in my heart is Anari Khan. If I really want to establish Ketun, I only hope that person is Anari Khan. I will have children, but apart from Anari Khan Outside Nazhi, no woman is qualified to sit on the position of Ketun. This Khan will meet the Na'vi people and produce descendants. This is for the inheritance and stability of the Tatar dynasty. As for the matter of Ketun, please don't persuade me any more."

When an old minister heard this, he was moved to tears on the spot. He put his hand on his chest and bowed deeply, "Khan is deeply affectionate and loyal. I believe Anari Khan has a soul in heaven and will be moved."

All the courtiers saluted and shouted: "Khan is deeply affectionate and loyal. He is the luck of our Tatars!"

Regardless of whether Utkin Khan wants to establish Ketun or not, as long as he does not become a monk and can be blessed with many beautiful women and many heirs, the successor of the dynasty will not have to worry. The ministers are all good people and will not go against Si Qin on this matter.

Seeing that the ministers all agreed, Siqin seriously mentioned the matter of Anari again.

"I just feel sorry for Anari's suffering. However, the assassins are too cunning. I arranged so many people, but I didn't catch two assassins. Even if they were protected by the traitors from the Mino tribe, they wouldn't be able to catch them." No news at all.”

Si Qin's voice was loud, but his words were very calm, with no unnecessary emotion in his tone.

But the courtiers bowed again.

"It's useless for me to wait for you."

"Get up quickly. Ben Khan doesn't mean to blame you."

Si Qin stands up --\u003e\u003e

He put his hands behind his body and said: "No matter how powerful the warrior is, he may not be able to defeat the cunning Zhou people."

Officials who understood Si Qin's thoughts stood up and said: "Khan, those two assassins must have been sent by the Dog Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty! The reason why they were able to escape must be because of the help of the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty."

"Yes, Khan." Another Siqin die-hard also stood up and saluted, "The Emperor of Zhou went too far. Not only did he send people to assassinate Anari Khan, but the Khan's credentials were sent to condemn their actions. Zhou The emperor actually dared to quibble, without apology or compensation, he really didn’t take us Tatars seriously.”

These words immediately aroused everyone's discussion and speculation.

Soon everyone was certain that the Emperor of Zhou ordered someone to assassinate Anari Khan. After the killing, he refused to admit his guilt and tried every means to help the assassin escape the charge.

The people's discussions became louder and louder, and their emotions became more and more high. In the midst of the crusade, a loud voice said: "Those cunning foxes in Dazhou need hunters like us Tatars to teach them a lesson and let them know how powerful we are!"

Upon hearing this, the ministers were all inspired to fight and became bloody. No Tatar warrior would admit that he was a coward who dared not avenge Anazhan. What's more, Utkin Khan loves Anari Khan so much. Everyone wants to help Anari take revenge. At the same time, it can also make Utkin Khan happy and please Utkin Khan.

Everyone suddenly figured this out and became excited. For a while, the court hall was full of voices asking for help.

Si Qin couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth into a smile, but it was quickly suppressed with restraint.

Si Qin said: "Thank you all, but we Tatars are not an unreasonable nation. Ben Khan decided to negotiate terms with Dazhou first and give them a chance. If they continue to refuse to admit their mistakes, then we cannot blame us. Let’s recover this blood debt!”

Upon hearing this, the ministers all agreed unanimously and saluted.

Immediately after the court meeting, someone drafted a memorandum. The four-sixth parallel prose was written in a gorgeous way. It not only detailed the shameless behavior of the Zhou people who sent people to assassinate Anari Khan and refused to admit it, but also implicitly praised Utkin. Khan's wise and benevolent government after he ascended the throne.

This memorandum was not only sent to the Great Zhou Dynasty, but was also widely posted in major towns in Tatar territory. For a time, it aroused heated discussion among the people, and there were many voices praising Utkin Khan's wisdom.

But the people of Dazhou were really disgusted by all the shameless words in that statement.

Li Qitian smashed his favorite tea set, and immediately called Pang Xiao, Lu Gelao and Qin Huaiyuan into the palace to reprimand them.

"Tell me, what should we do now! Not only did the Tatar people send me a message, but they were also disrespectful to me in their words. These are not counted. They actually asked for compensation! The Tatar people are so poor. crazy!"

Li Qitian was simply overwhelmed.

Speaking of which, he is the emperor who is about to take over the world, but in fact he is not afraid of war at all. But the biggest problem is not that there are no soldiers and horses, but that the treasury of the Great Zhou Dynasty can no longer squeeze out money to launch a war.

My life is very tight, and now the Tatars are trying to blackmail me. How can I not make Li Qitian angry?

"Your Majesty, calm down." Qin Huaiyuan was the calmest among the three. Seeing that Pang Xiao and Mr. Lu Ge didn't speak, he naturally saluted and said, "In my opinion, Si Qin is trying his best to blackmail. If If blackmail fails, we will find an excuse to launch a war."

As soon as he heard the word war, Li Qitian was confused. War and people's livelihood, which one does not require money? But the dilapidated court is as chaotic as ever. It's not that they established the Zhou Dynasty, and the old diseases left by the tyranny of the Northern Hebei Kingdom no longer exist.

They have been working hard to stabilize the country and want to quickly make Da Zhou stronger.

But it was such a troubled time, and the court had no spare time to take care of other things. Li Qitian was worried about the gray hair growing on his temples.

"I also know that this is the case! The problem is how to resolve this situation! I said at the beginning that there have been many years of war and the people are in dire straits. If I can prevent ordinary people from suffering, I will do whatever it takes. Is it ours this time? It is not yet known whether Anari was born after the assassination, but the problem is that Qin and Lu Heng were arrested, and they have determined us! Now the Tatar lion is opening its mouth, either giving money or starting a war. I am the poorest in the world. People!”

Li Qitian was so heartbroken that he almost beat his chest and feet. Being an emperor seems to be a glorious thing, but now he is working hard and he no longer feels that he is about to be exhausted.

Neither Lu Gelao nor Pang Xiao said a word.

Anyway, they also know that Li Qitian has long stopped caring about the life and death of Lu Heng and Qin Yining. If Tatar now says that as long as they hand over these two people, they will no longer pursue them, Li Qitian will definitely not care whether the other party is cheating or not. readily agreed.

Pang Xiao has secretly contacted some people from the Jinghu Guard to sneak into Tatar to find the whereabouts of Qin Yining. Although Li Qitian looked nervous, the affairs of the country are now in turmoil and Li Qitian has too much time to take care of himself. He will not care about this in a short time. Even if Li Qitian really He accepted the blame and admitted it. He had already done the work of resisting the decree anyway. For Qin Yining, how could he care about anything else at the moment?
