Hearing this, Lu Heng declined and said, "I understand your good intentions and feel your sincerity, but we are from Dazhou after all. If we become the patriarch of the Minuo clan, doesn't it mean that the Minuo clan has become a Dazhou clan? Yes? We are friends and brothers. I can't do such a thing to Mino. We can be friends from generation to generation and can support each other, but you two brothers are the masters of Mino. I believe in such a decision, Your parents will recognize it in heaven."
Everyone who said this was very moved.
Harbala and Chaganbala couldn't help but wet their eyes when they thought of their parents who died tragically.
But since they have made a decision, they can't go back on it. This is a matter of face and morality.
Qin Yining listened to their words like beads, and she didn't understand what they meant. If she spoke at a slower speed, she could still understand simple vocabulary and make guesses.
Lu Heng explained it to Qin Yining. Qin Yining thought about it and agreed with Lu Heng's decision. After all, they are foreigners, and she has learned the lessons of the Qingtian Alliance. Now she does not dare to take over any organization at will, because of the benefits. At the same time, there may be a bigger crisis behind it.
"Now is not the time to discuss this matter. What we need to think about is how to escape. There are already pursuers to search today, which means that Siqin has made room. If there is another city-wide search, we are afraid It's not that easy to escape, and the Minobu will be implicated at that time. Even more terrifying, if the Minobu is targeted, the consequences will be disastrous."
Lu Heng also frowned and nodded: "What you said is. The problem is to escape from the city, and you will also face the pursuers. From here, the road leading to the border between Dazhou and the Tartars is probably inconvenient."
Qin Yining pursed his lips and whispered, "Are we going to enter the desert again?"
When Lu Heng thought about the hardships he had suffered all the way, he couldn't help shivering.
However, after careful analysis, if he really escaped from the city, with Siqin's ingenuity and Tianjizi's calculations, it would be impossible for him not to show any traces. They must have alerted a large number of pursuers to search for them.
If you take the road, you can easily get caught up.
But if they go to the desert, if they are well prepared, there is a great chance of escape.
The weather is getting colder, and it's getting harder to walk in the desert. Their preparations need to be more comprehensive.
Lu Heng pursed his lips and decided to discuss this with Chaganbala and his brothers.
The two frowned. But after listening carefully to Lu Heng's analysis, he also felt that if they could leave the city, the desert could indeed help them get rid of their pursuit.
"In that case, let's get ready. I'll go out of the city tomorrow, quietly contact the clansmen outside the city, and ask them if they are willing to migrate with us. After leaving Dadu, we arrive at the border, where the area is vast and sparsely populated, and we can always find one. Space for survival. To enter the desert, we must make adequate preparations." Chaganbala said.
Harbala frowned: "It's easy, but how can I take you out quietly?"
Qin Yining pursed her pale lips and said after a moment, "Tiaohu Lishan."
Lu Heng smiled and nodded: "Heroes see the same thing."
—
Khan's funeral was solemn, but it was also rough because of the sudden incident.
Because of the members of the Tatar royal family, who died long ago when Anari was the female regent, and now there is not a single living person, and the reputation of diligence, benevolence, righteousness and heroism has spread far and wide, and the courtiers are one-sided. of those in favor of Siqin ascending the throne.
After a short preparation and a grand succession ceremony, the military power was in the hands of the people's will, and it was almost unnecessary to spend too much effort to rectify, and the Tatar regime was firmly in the hands of Siqin.
At the beginning of Siqin's practice of Zuo, he changed his name to Jian'an. Because Siqin's surname was Utkin, he was called "Utkin Khan". the murderer. Moreover, he issued a letter of credentials to Dazhou, denounced the crime of assassinating Anari by Dazhou people, and threatened to pay with blood.
For a time, the hatred of the Tatar people was completely mobilized. On the one hand, everyone vowed to take revenge for Ana Day. On the other hand, the people were very moved under the benevolent government of Utkin Khan, and the people's hearts were united like never before. All the Tatars were praising Utkin Khan's wiseness and martial arts.
Just under the great momentum, this evening, Si Qin received a report from his subordinates that he had discovered the whereabouts of Qin Yining and Lu Heng, and their place was surrounded.
When Siqin heard the words, he immediately ordered: "Go and capture them alive. Ben Khan will delay them in order to sacrifice Anari Khan's spirit in heaven!"
"Yes!" The subordinate should be yes, and just as he turned to leave, Siqin said, "Wait, Ben Khan will go in person!"
Siqin changed into a light robe, and led the person straight to where the information was. All the guards and entourage secretly lamented the deep love between Siqin and Anari Khan.
The place they arrived was a remote courtyard in the south of the city. Siqin saw that there were his own people all around, and the house was dark. Siqin sneered and rushed forward, "Bring me out the people inside."
"Yes!"
The crowd rushed forward and rushed in with the momentum of destroying the dead.
Soon, a woman's scream came from the room.
After a while, two figures, one tall and one short, were pushed out under the moonlight reflecting the snow.
Xu Shi had been displaced for a long time, and the robes on the two of them could barely tell that they used to be excellent brocades, but at this time they were all tattered and their hair was messy.
Siqin said in Da Zhou language: "Master Lu, originally Ben Khan thought you were a good friend who could trust you so much. I didn't expect you to be so ignorant of praise, and you would betray your trust for a woman. Disappointed."
"Lu Heng" lowered his head, shaking a little.
Si Qin narrowed his eyes, and immediately felt that something was wrong.
He turned over and jumped off the horse, strode forward and grabbed "Qin Yining" by the hair, but what caught his eye was a woman's face covered with scars.
The woman's eyes were full of hatred, and the dagger hidden in her sleeve immediately pierced.
Siqin was furious, and immediately realized that he was deceived, and kicked the woman's chest fiercely. Before the dagger could cut through Siqin's flesh, the bones in the woman's chest were dented, and she was kicked and flew two feet away. She fell to the ground and vomited blood and died.
The tall "Si Qin" next to him was shivering and fell to the ground.
Siqin grabbed his collar and lifted the man up, and found that it was an old man of about fifty or sixty years old, and he was still blind in one eye.
"Good Minobu! Quick, send someone to guard the city gate immediately! Immediately!"
"As ordered!"
The entourage usually burns their butts to deliver letters to the four city gates.
But when it was time to close the city gate, the guards guarding the city didn't notice anything unusual at all, and it was impossible to remember who came in and out today, so they had to be stationed more strictly from now on.
After hearing the report, Siqin immediately ordered: "Go to the camp of the Minoans outside the city and bring them back to Ben Khan!"
