From Dazhou to the Tatar capital, in fact, the best part of the road is not so bad.
It's just that there will always be various troubles along the way, and there are so many robbers and gangsters who do not know where, forcing this team to enter the desert.
Qin Yining was wearing a sackcloth cotton jacket and skirt that was so dirty that he couldn't see the color, a sackcloth scarf wrapped his head and face, leaning on a thick and curved branch in his hand, and followed the team with difficulty.
Her injury has healed, but her body is a little weaker than before.
They had been in the desert for ten days. In fact, if it wasn't for the unfortunate catching up with the sandstorm, they wouldn't be so miserable at all. At least the water you brought was enough to eat.
It's a pity that God seems to like to joke with them.
Qin Yining did not expect that the Tatars would travel thousands of miles to look for treasures in Dazhou, and they had been searching for treasures for a long time.
When the earth was shaking that day, she and the others were just about to reach the entrance of the cave when they were stopped by the people brought by the Tartar consort Ma Siqin.
Siqin looks like a handsome literati, but he doesn't look like a Tatar man, but he is actually a ruthless man who kills people without mercy.
At that time, all the Longchong troops were strangled without leaving any survivors. The people Lu Heng brought, along with her and Mrs. Liao, were all brought out.
However, after entering the desert and catching the sandstorm, everyone in Lu Heng was abandoned by Siqin in the desert.
Instead of killing them directly, they drove them into the yellow sand in the sky and let them fend for themselves.
Now in this team are the Tatar consort Ma Siqin and the 20 dead men brought by Siqin, Mrs. Liao and two followers of the Qingtian League, and then Lu Heng and Qin Yining.
Qin Yining's feet seemed to be filled with lead, her lips were dry and cracked, and she was thirsty and unable to speak.
The last time I drank water was early in the morning, and everyone took a sip to moisten their throats. Qin Yining was reluctant to swallow the saliva at that time, but kept it in his mouth for a long time, so as not to feel too dry on the way.
But Rao is so economical, their water is still not enough.
"Stop." Siqin called to stop the team.
Qin Yining stood panting against the branch, trying to see what Siqin was going to do.
Siqin went straight to Mrs. Liao and the two Qingtian allies, and said in fluent and standard Dazhou language: "Now we don't have enough water. You must tell me where the treasure is, or I will throw you there. here."
Mrs. Liao was silent.
The two Qingtian League members had already collapsed and were about to cry.
They were the ones who got the least amount of water. Are you going to leave them here now
"Hurry up and tell them!"
"Yeah, it's already this time, what are you still hiding and dragging! If you don't say anything, you will lose your life!"
"Treasure is more important or life is more important! You have killed so many brothers, do you still want to kill us now!"
The two had dry mouths and hoarse voices, but they still spared no effort to persuade Mrs. Liao.
Mrs. Liao described her withered cheeks and sunken cheeks, but she still smiled confidently: "To tell you the truth, only I know the location of the treasure. If you let me die, you won't have to get the treasure for the rest of your life."
Siqin straightened his scarf and said without raising his eyebrows, "Then what? Do you mean you don't want to say anything?"
Mrs. Liao said: "Unless you agree to my conditions, I will not tell you the whereabouts of the treasure."
Hearing this, Siqin smiled, and a dimple appeared on his handsome face, showing that he was a very kind and lovable person.
"Treasure, in fact, we don't care about it at all. If you want to say it, I can let you live. If you don't want to say it, then it doesn't matter if we don't want treasure." Siqin waved his hand, and there were two burly men who took the two A bony head of the Qingtian Alliance pulled down, walked a hundred steps, and threw the person on the sand.
The two men ate a mouthful of yellow sand, but they didn't dare to stop. They climbed up with difficulty, shoveling the sand from their mouths, and stumbled back again.
Mrs. Liao smiled more confidently when she saw the two returning.
"Treasure, the Great Zhou Emperor, the Great Yan Emperor, all of them need it, and they all want to keep it for themselves. I don't believe you if you say that you are not rare. How can you prove it to me?"
Siqin was amused by Mrs. Liao, "You are a bit funny, but there is no treasure, my army is still my army, and it is not different from me at all. If you don't want to say it, then let's go with you. Let's go far together. , we will no longer provide you with water and food, you can just ask for your own blessings."
After all, Siqin smiled and nodded to Mrs. Liao, then turned back and led the crowd to set off.
Are you really not going to want treasure
Qin Yining looked suspicious.
This treasure was hidden by Mrs. Liao. Except for the person who carried it who would definitely be silenced, Mrs. Liao may really be the only one who knows the whereabouts of the treasure. Is it a deliberate intimidation to give up Mrs. Liao
Mrs. Liao thought that she could use the treasure to negotiate terms, but who would have known that people would be so straightforward now, if they say no, then they don't want it!
Qin Yining watched with cold eyes for so many days, Siqin was actually a very strange person.
He looks like a scholar on the outside, but in fact his martial arts are strong and not weak.
According to Tianjizi's original decision, the greedy wolf, one of the three evil stars, fell on the Tartar. Combined with Siqin's military exploits and rumors in the Tartar, it is thought that he is the grand marshal who has fought with Ji Zeyu for many years.
The little regent raised by the Tatar princess Anari died of illness, and Anari became the female khan of the Tatars, while Siqin was the consort of Anari.
Even so, Siqin was still in charge of the affairs of the Tatar army, and made Anari happy every day. You can also do your own business in private.
For example, in this search for treasure, so many people were kidnapped by the way.
Therefore, Si Qin's behavior of giving up the treasure made Qin Yining feel strange. Shouldn't those who feed the army devise more rations
Qin Yining didn't want to talk because she wanted to maintain her physical strength.
And Siqin really did what he said.
Mrs. Liao and the two members of the Qingtian Alliance followed behind the team. It has been stumbled along the way, and it may fall down at any time.
Ke Siqin really didn't give them a drop of water or a bite of food until the three of them fell behind and never caught up.
Qin Yining also wanted to save people. But she has no water and no food.
When the remaining water was distributed, Si Qin also impressed Qin Yining.
He will let the twenty dead soldiers who follow him drink water first. When they drink the rest, Siqin will drink it with restraint, and then the excess will be kidnapped for them. Lu Heng is in Siqin's mind. The one with the highest status, so he gets the most, and Qin Yining is the second.
Now that all three of Mrs. Liao have been left behind, if she can't get out of the desert, she will be the next one to give up.
Qin Yining's heart was clear, so he walked more calmly and tried to find a way.
Qin Yining, who is quiet and taciturn, never loses his temper, and is very patient, makes Siqin always walk beside her.
"You were injured so badly, and then followed us into the desert, how did you support it until now?" Si Qin asked with a smile.
