Lu Heng alertly pulled Qin Yining behind him.
Mu Jinghu was protecting the two of them, observing the figures on the ground, listening to each other's footsteps and voices, and silently calculating how much he could win with one enemy.
Qin Yining couldn't help holding her breath, her eyes widened, her heartbeat quickened, as if she was about to come out of her mouth.
As the sound of footsteps approached, the orange-red light on the torches that could be seen from the alley became brighter and brighter, and Qin Yining's hand gripping the burden gradually turned white from nervousness.
Just as the chasing soldiers were about to reach the alley and Mu Jinghu was ready to meet the challenge, a wooden gate beside them was suddenly pushed open, and a thin young man rushed towards them anxiously. He waved his hand and said in Tatar in a breathy voice, "Quick, come in!"
The three rushed over in a hurry.
At the same time, the pursuers also turned around and looked around with torches.
He didn't care when he passed a few inconspicuous fence gates. Because almost everyone has just entered the house from the main door of each house to search, there is no need to enter the side door again.
After reaching the end, they found that this was a dead end, and the pursuers determined that no one could hide here, so they continued to search elsewhere.
Qin Yining, Lu Heng, and Mu Jinghu breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and thanked the little boy who let them in just now.
Lu Heng said in the Tatar language: "Thank you for this little brother, if it wasn't for your help, we would have been killed. Don't worry, we will not stay for a long time. We will leave later when those people leave. I will never cause trouble for your family."
The little boy nodded, unable to see his face in the darkness, only his thin outline and big black eyes, he lowered his voice and said something to Lu Heng.
Hearing the words, Lu Heng immediately tensed up and shut his mouth cautiously.
Qin Yining knew what was wrong when he saw it, and asked in a low voice, "What did he say?"
Lu Heng said: "He asked me if we were the warriors who killed the female khan."
Seeing Lu Heng's appearance, the little boy became more and more excited, and he pulled Lu Heng's sleeve very fast, and walked into the room while talking.
Seeing this, Qin Yining said anxiously: "What's the matter? Let's go."
But Lu Heng said: "He said he was from the Mino tribe. When he stopped Anari on the street a few days ago, he had seen you and me in the city and hunting teams. If it was to kill the female khan The warrior, that is the benefactor of the Mino tribe, which is why he let us hide in just now."
"But we're not..."
"Don't be impatient."
Lu Heng obeyed the boy's strength and followed into the room. Qin Yining and Mu Jinghu had no choice but to follow them up the stairs.
Before entering, Qin Yining pointed to the cloth towel hanging on Mu Jinghu's chin.
Only then did Mu Jinghu remember to cover his face, so he quickly covered his face and smiled gratefully at Qin Yining.
This is a spacious brick house. In the hall, a bonfire was lit in public, and there were more than 30 old and weak women and children in rags and scrawny gathered here.
Seeing that the young man brought Qin Yining and three people in, the hall was silent for a moment, and everyone looked over.
Another slightly taller boy frowned and said, "Halbala, who are these people you brought?"
Lu Heng turned his head and whispered to Qin Yining, "So this kid is called Harbala, which means black tiger in Tatar language."
Qin Yining nodded.
Harbala said: "They are the warriors who killed the female khan. They are being chased by those minions. I happened to meet them and let them in."
"But we still have the old and the weak in the clan, in case they are discovered... And how can you be sure that they are the warriors who killed the female khan?"
Harbala frowned and said with his hands on his hips: "Chaganbala, don't you want to regret it? You were the one who mentioned it first. If anyone can avenge our Abu and Eji, who is the new member of the Minuo Department. Patriarch, is this true? The clan members heard it clearly! If the Patriarch is in trouble, can I ignore it?”
"That's right..." Chaganbala said.
Harbala clapped his hands: "This is not the end, the group of people outside said that the one who killed the female khan was a man and a woman, from Da Zhoulai, we happened to meet them, and Da Zhoulai lived in the palace. The people are them, so what else could be wrong?"
"But they are from Dazhou, how can they be Minuobu's new patriarch?"
"At the beginning, you didn't limit that Dazhou people were not allowed to be the patriarch. Besides, whoever can kill the female devil, whoever is a warrior, is a hero, avenged the bloody revenge for the warriors and relatives who died in our Mino tribe. After being caught by the guards outside, how can we have the face to go to the sky to see Abu and Eji in the future?"
"Okay, my good brother, you're right." Chaganbala patted Harbala on the shoulder, "I think too much. They are warriors who help Eji and Abu and their clansmen to avenge their revenge. You can be the patriarch of our Mino tribe."
The young and old around the conversation between the two teenagers could hear it clearly.
Qin Yining couldn't understand what they said, Mu Jinghu half understood, Lu Heng understood, calculation flashed in his eyes, but he didn't interrupt immediately.
In this way, Qin Yining looked at the old, weak, sick and disabled in front of her eyes, and under the leadership of the two young men, she touched their chest with one hand and saluted, and whispered something in her mouth.
Lu Heng turned to explain the conversation between the two brothers to Qin Yining, and then said, "They have already decided that we are the new patriarch of their Minuo."
Qin Yining was stunned, "Is this bad?"
Lu Heng said: "We are lonely and want to leave Tatar, maybe these people can help. And they have recognized you and I as their patriarch, that is, they have decided that it will not change. If we refuse, they will be sad instead. ."
Qin Yining said, "But we didn't meet their requirements."
"Since they have confirmed it, it means that Siqin has posted the same message outside."
Qin Yining was silent for a while.
After recognizing the person, Harbala and Chaganbala took Qin Yining, Lu Heng, and Mu Jinghu to their seats, and enthusiastically asked them about their heroic achievements when they killed the female khan.
Qin Yining couldn't understand the language, so he just listened quietly with a smile.
Although she was wearing men's clothes, her face was extremely beautiful. At first glance, she knew that she was a beautiful woman. The clan members couldn't take their eyes off her when she looked so handsome.
Qin Yining took advantage of the chaos and said to Mu Jinghu, "You can leave later. We are safe here, and we will make our own way to leave later. Go back to where your uncle is, lest there will be any trouble. Don't forget to help me send Pang Zhixi a message."
Hearing this, Mu Jinghu frowned tangled, and said after a while, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
