Return of the Swallow

Seeing Lu Heng like this, Cao Yuqing couldn't help but sigh, and comforted him: "Mr. Lu Ge has been in charge of the situation for decades. I believe he is not such a fragile person. The next time I send a message, I will find a way to give Mr. Lu Ge a message." Bring a message to let him know that you are still alive and well. I believe that with Mr. Lu Ge’s love for you, his illness will be mostly cured if he gets the news about you."

"Yes." Qin Yining also smiled and said: "The days are long, and temporary frustration is nothing. Everything will be fine."

Lu Heng nodded with emotion and thanked the two of them again, especially Cao Yuqing.

Lu Heng thought to himself, she is indeed Qin Yining's aunt. Come to think of it, this is a true portrayal of how birds of a feather flock together. People like Qin Yining, a strange woman, are not idlers.

Everyone sat down again, and Cao Yuqing told what he had observed when he arrived.

"Although it was not easy for me to find this valley when I came here, it was also because I was alone. Although the road was blocked by heavy snow outside, you did not take away a little bit of Utkin Khan's food. Such a large amount of food would be enough for ten people. How can Utkin Khan let you go if an army of ten thousand people can save food for a month or two? Have you ever thought that if he sends all the troops to conduct a carpet search, you will only have less than a thousand people. How to cope?"

Cao Yuqing's words hit the point right away.

Qin Yining smiled bitterly and said: "To tell you the truth, we were discussing this issue just now. We are short of food, and the tribesmen staying on the other side of the desert also need food. In addition, we have a deep hatred with Utkin Khan. With this opportunity, we can give Wu Naturally, we will not let go of Tejin Khan's stabbing. But now that the food is in our hands, it does feel hot to the touch. We are also thinking about how to deal with it."

Siqin and Uncle Arhan also nodded, "Yeah, I really didn't know what to do for a while. If a small team comes over, we won't be afraid. We are afraid that there will be too many people from the other side. We have to escort so much food and grass, and the team will definitely get longer, and by then I’m afraid we won’t be able to take care of the rear rather than the front.”

Cao Yuqing heard this and said: "I think so too. Although the terrain of this valley is very hidden and the roads are blocked by heavy snow outside, no one will find your footprints. It is indeed a good place to hide. But this is not a long-term solution. If Siqin's men and horses are chasing you, aren't they going to block you inside? In my humble opinion, it's better to find an opportunity to explore the surroundings as soon as possible and get out of here."

Qin Yining, Lu Heng and Arhan all nodded in agreement: "You are right."

Qin Yining said: "If we want to go, it's best to choose a snowy day. Although it is difficult for us to walk, it is also most convenient to cover our footprints."

Everyone nodded again.

Cao Yuqing thought for a while and said: "This place is too close to Tatar and the Great Periphery Pass. It will easily attract attention. If you want to go, you should go to a remote place."

Lu Heng said: "What you are saying is that I think we should go west."

"The west?" Cao Yuqing thought for a while and said: "In addition to several large towns in the east, there is also a road leading directly to Tatar. There is also a desert in the middle. Crossing the desert is also a shortcut to travel to and from the country. In addition to several large towns in the west, Towns, and then there’s no man’s land.”

"Yes." Lu Heng said: "The terrain in the west is complex and very wide, so it is easier to hide and seek with the pursuers. If you are in the east, you will easily be intercepted by pursuers from various states, capitals and towns. If there are many people coming, , give us a flanking attack, there are only 800 people in our team, I'm afraid they will all be handed over here."

Cao Yuqing thought about it, frowned and scratched her hair, and said with a wry smile: "It would be great if Sister Yi's father was here at this moment. He is so smart, he will definitely have a way."

Qin Yining couldn't help but find it funny when he heard what Cao Yuqing said. But after laughing, the yearning for my father became even hotter in my heart. Qin Huaiyuan's understanding, tolerance and love for her were absolutely genuine, and his teachings to her also had a profound impact on her.

To be honest, when she was wandering around outside, the people she missed the most were Pang Xiao and Qin Huaiyuan, and even the Sun family was one level behind.

Qin Yining took a deep breath and told herself that as long as she could persevere, she would be able to go home safely sooner or later. When the time comes, she would enjoy family happiness and be filial to her father. The days ahead would be wonderful.

In fact, during countless difficult days and nights in the desert, Qin Yining relied on this kind of self-comfort to give himself a glimmer of hope and allow him to persevere.

"I agree with Mr. Lu. Let's go to the west for the time being. Because in this land of Tatars, there is a greater chance of survival in the west. During this period, we will observe the situation in the Zhou Dynasty and the war situation between the two countries. If both sides If there is intention to start a war, the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty will definitely send the prince to the front line. At that time, we can contact the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty and follow the prince's path. With so much food and grass in exchange, I believe that the people of the Zhou Dynasty will definitely agree to protect the Mino tribe. of."

Having said this, Uncle Arhan nodded repeatedly with a smile: "That's good. If that's really the case, then again--\u003e\u003e

It couldn't be better. "

Lu Heng also nodded and said: "If things go well, they will naturally develop in this direction, and then all the people of the Minuo tribe will be saved. As for how to live after going to Dazhou, Dazhou is a land of vast resources, and there are many mountains and rivers that are beautiful but not beautiful. Wherever people live, it is easy to survive on the grassland, so there is no need to worry about these. But we also need to consider another situation. What if we encounter the pursuers first? "

Uncle Arhan wiped his face, patted Lu Heng on the shoulder and said cheerfully: "Brother Lu, can't you say something nice? But if we really encounter this situation, then naturally we brothers will not be afraid of him! We There have never been cowards in the Minuo tribe! Anari tortured and killed our former clan leader and killed so many of our clansmen, even the infant children. We will definitely fight to the death with Utkin Khan. ! If that happens, we will fight them!"

Uncle Arhan's Da Da Zhou's words were extremely unstandardized, but Qin Yining, Lu Heng and Cao Yuqing were all impressed by what he said, and they suddenly felt extremely proud.

Cao Yuqing has always been a cheerful person, and she smiled cheerfully after hearing this: "Yes, in the worst case, we will fight them. We are still afraid of their failure."

Qin Yining and Lu Heng felt dumbfounded for a moment. Qin Yining knew a lot about Cao Yuqing, so it wasn't surprising. However, Lu Heng was surprised and thought: Such a delicate beauty can be so bold and fearless of life and death. It's really surprising. Amazing!

Qin Yining said Wanran: "If we encounter such a situation, we are naturally not afraid, but that is also the worst case scenario. We try our best to prevent things from developing into such a situation. The most important thing is to minimize the casualties of the clan members."

Lu Heng also said: "That's right. Then we will first investigate the surrounding situation tomorrow and move to the west as soon as possible. At the same time, order people to investigate the situation ahead and reduce our casualties."

"That's very good." Qin Yining nodded.

Cao Yuqing thought about it and felt that it was feasible. She couldn't think of any other way anyway, so she nodded in agreement.

Siqin and Uncle Arhan went to tell the Minuo tribe what had just happened in Tatar. Discuss with the tribesmen and boost morale at the same time.

Qin Yining took Cao Yuqing back to her tent.

This tent is very simple, only large enough for an adult to bend down and walk inside. The floor is covered with animal skins and quilts. Because Qin Yining is now the leader of the Minuo tribe in the eyes of the Minuo tribe, there are already accompanying women in the tent. Hot water was thoughtfully prepared. He also prepared an extremely precious soup pot, filled it with hot water and stuffed it into the quilt to warm it up first.

Qin Yining pulled Cao Yuqing to sit cross-legged opposite each other, pulled the quilt to cover their legs, and placed Mrs. Tang at their feet.

Cao Yuqing chuckled and sighed: "Hey, it's so warm!"

"Yes." Qin Yining also squinted her eyes in comfort, took Cao Yuqing's hands and said, "Aunt Cao, you must have suffered a lot when you were looking for me alone outside, right?"

Cao Yuqing was held by Qin Yining's hands, feeling awkward and happy at the same time.

Although she was married, she had no children, and there was no younger member of her family that she liked so much. In addition, because of her feelings for Qin Huaiyuan, out of her admiration for Qin Huaiyuan, she treated Qin Yining as lovingly as she could. Therefore, in her heart, In fact, he treats Qin Yining as his junior.

She considers herself to be a rough person who can't say nice words. She can only contribute her whole heart and have a clear conscience. She felt relieved that she had no regrets about her conscience. She never thought that Qin Yining would pull him to talk to her without any grudge.

She has never been held by a junior and talked to like this.

Seeing Qin Yining's crooked eyebrows, Cao Yuqing felt only joy after being awkward. She held Qin Yining's hand to warm her and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I have seen all kinds of storms outside for so many years. But I'm not afraid of walking alone. It's just that I was very anxious when I couldn't find your whereabouts. I was injured at the time and saw you being taken away. I didn't even know how to explain to your father that at that time I just thought, if you have any shortcomings, I will never have the face to see your father in this life, so I might as well die. But luckily God bless you, you are safe and sound. I heard that you assassinated Anarihan I was so happy when I did it.”

Cao Yuqing spoke so bluntly that Qin Yining couldn't help but smile and rolled her eyes, "Aunt Cao, thank you very much."

Cao Yuqing felt her sincerity and felt very sincere, but she pretended to be angry on her face and said, "If you say that, you are separated from me."

"No way, I'm telling the truth!" Qin Yining said eagerly: "Aunt Cao, I regard you as a family member, so I can't be separated from you. It's just that I like to say whatever I have to say. I'm grateful to you, So I wanted to let you know."

Cao Yuqing couldn't help but chuckle: "You, aren't you afraid that your mother will be angry if you are so close to me?"
