As a result, the Minoan troops immediately divided into two groups, with some men with fighting strength and some strong women forming a team, following Harbala and Chaganbala across the desert.
The other team, consisting of the elderly, children, sick women, and men with disabilities who could not fight, had to find a habitat outside the desert.
Among them, there are also mothers and children, husbands and wives, but the men with strong physique and the women who are willing to carry swords and soldiers fight for the future of the tribe, even at the expense of their own lives.
For the clansmen left outside the desert, they are warriors, heroes, and hope for the clan to return to prosperity.
If only the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled were left in the Mino tribe, then the people of the Mino tribe could only be slaves, and their descendants would be bullied all the time.
After preparing water and dry food, and bringing along clansmen who are good at finding water in the desert, Qin Yining's team of about 1,000 people set off for the desert.
Unlike the last time he entered the desert, Siqin did not make adequate preparations, but was chased into the desert by the pursuers. There were many people along the way, but water and dry food were limited, so Siqin was only one. On the way, the prisoners were abandoned one by one, and in the end, even the Qingtian League members who knew the whereabouts of the treasure were thrown into the desert to fend for themselves.
This time Qin Yining had planned to enter the desert for a long time, and the people from the Minuo Department had already made adequate preparations. Although it was exhausting and hard work along the way, these thousand people could at least ensure their own safety, and no one would die due to lack of water.
At this time, Utkin Khan's pursuers had also caught up with the Mino tribe.
But everyone had already discussed it, and they insisted that they didn’t know where the rest of the clan were. Siqin really did what Lu Heng and Qin Yining planned. For the sake of their kind reputation, the newly enthroned people didn’t care about those who stayed outside the desert. The people of the Mino tribe started, just let them stay where they were and be self-sufficient, not to disturb other tribes, and not allow them to enter the neighboring towns.
At this time, Si Qin could already conclude that Qin Yining and his party had entered the desert.
"What audacity. Ben Khan underestimated these two."
I thought that Da Zhou came to be some cowardly cowards with strong brains and actions, but I didn't expect that these two people would dare to take a group of unfamiliar Minuo tribes into the desert!
The accompanying generals looked at Siqin's face, and couldn't help but shudder.
Although Siqin has always been tolerant towards his subordinates and is a benevolent prince, everyone knows that Khan and Anari Khan are childhood sweethearts and young couples with the deepest relationship.
The whereabouts of the murderer who assassinated Anari Khan have been found, but they have not caught up. I don't know how angry Khan will be now.
After all, they were used to seeing Anari Khan's ruthless methods. Even if Utkin Khan was not such a person, they were still afraid in their hearts.
The military general at the head was an old man who followed Siqin when he was in the army. He was familiar with Siqin and knew that Siqin was not someone who would take anger out, so he was the only one who dared to stand up and ask: "Khan, are we still chasing after him? ?"
Siqin pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then said: "Entering the desert, it is really difficult to chase. One is too dangerous, and the other is that the weather in the desert is too bad, and it is not easy to grasp the direction of defense, so don't let the soldiers be plain. Lost his life in vain."
"Khan said yes."
Generally, when these people encounter such a bad situation when they are fighting, they will not continue to pursue, so as not to cause unnecessary casualties.
Siqin taught them these generals on weekdays, and often said "good steel should be used on the edge of the blade", and it is not wise to let the warriors die.
Siqin stood up, the tall stature almost touching the roof of the simple tent on his head.
He walked to the simple wooden table aside, and carefully observed the map above with his hands behind him.
When everyone saw this, they followed suit. There were also people who were careful and brought the lampstand in front of them.
The map shows the mountains and rivers of the Tartar, and the grass grows in the desert.
The rough fingers that have been holding the sword all the year round follow the direction of the desert, and finally point to several places in the direction of the border line of Dawei.
"Send someone to garrison in the direction of Dazhou outside the desert. Pay attention to these points. Once someone comes out of the desert, they will be arrested immediately."
"Yes!"
The subordinate's spirit was shocked, and the loud voice should be yes.
Seeing that Siqin didn't care about the life and death of the soldiers because he was in a hurry to avenge Anari Khan, everyone admired this new Khan even more.
In the past, Siqin used his illustrious military exploits and excellent command to convince the soldiers under his command.
Now his calm, wise and benevolent heart makes everyone feel at ease.
Although it is a bit disrespectful to say it, Siqin is indeed much better as a Khan than Anari Khan.
It took only a short time for the Tatar to take on the throne, and the Tartars took on a new look in a short period of time. Everyone does not have to worry about being caught and killed for no reason. The new khan is not a tyrant and will not take their lives seriously. , they only need to do their jobs seriously, and they can get good treatment. With such a khan, they can also do things with peace of mind, even if they use their talents and abilities.
Everyone was in a good mood, and they were busy doing things according to Siqin's instructions.
At this time, Qin Yining's team of nearly 1,000 people went out to rest in the lee behind a pile of sand in the cold.
The gathering place was quiet, and no one had the extra strength to speak. At this time, those who can save physical strength should save as much as possible, and say more unnecessary words, as if they are wasting water and food.
Qin Yining looked at Lu Heng, who was lying beside her, covered in padded clothes and shivering with cold, closed his eyes and white lips, and frowned worriedly.
They walked very cautiously along the way, but the speed was slower than before entering the desert, because Lu Heng contracted the wind and cold, his momentum was fierce, and the treatment was not timely. Difficult to be delayed.
I want to come to Lu Heng who grew up coddled in the Lu family, and has never experienced such a big change, let alone such suffering. This time, since escaping from Dadu, Lu Heng's taut string seemed to have suddenly snapped, and he couldn't let out a burst of anger. In addition, they were living in difficult conditions, so such a big illness was not expected.
However, everyone expected that Qin Yining would get sick, but Lu Heng, who seemed to be much healthier, fell ill, but everyone guessed wrong.
With Lu Heng's illness, Qin Yining, Harbala and Chaganbala are responsible for taking care of him.
Qin Yining was careful, and gave up her horse to Lu Heng. She followed the horse and took good care of Lu Heng. It was just that some things were inconvenient for her to do, so she would ask Harbala and Chaganbala. .
They originally thought that Qin Yining was a delicate and squeamish woman, and it was surprising that she could give up the horse. What they didn't expect was that Qin Yining could still insist on walking in the desert. And her physical strength is also limited, but she never drags others down, and she is not willful. She will drink a sip of water with restraint, and will never let others drink less water because of her.
Beautiful women are admirable.
Among the Tatars, a bold and unrestrained nation, beautiful and strong women are even more fascinating.
Her strength is surprising and admirable, and her intelligence and calmness are also convincing. Even if she knew that she was already married, there were still many young men in the clan who were very fond of her and were willing to give her their dry food and water. It's just that she never accepted it.
Qin Yining could feel everyone's kindness, but he wouldn't rob others. In the desert, water and food are the most important things to maintain life. If she eats and drinks other people's food, it will make others face the danger of death. She will never do such a thing.
Qin Yining was very worried about Lu Heng's illness. After all, they shared troubles and sorrows, and Lu Heng was her savior. This friend could really be regarded as a dedicated friend to her. She tried her best to repay him. Hurrying in the desert, it was impossible to recuperate in such a situation, which made Lu Heng's situation even more dangerous.
Another problem was Qin Yining's language barrier.
Qin Yining still only knows simple words such as eating, resting, and relaxing. No matter how complicated it is, she can't understand or speak. If Lu Heng was in a coma and couldn't speak, then communicating with people would become the biggest problem.
As for Lu Heng's current situation, he sometimes falls asleep and sometimes wakes up. He often misses some important things. Qin Yining gives urgent orders when he encounters an emergency, but most people don't understand it.
Fortunately, there was the uncle Alhan who had a broken arm. If Qin Yining didn't need any complicated vocabulary and only said simple meanings, Uncle Alhan could understand it and help him explain it to the clansmen around him. You can also translate the words of the clansmen to her in simple Dazhou dialect, so that it is much more convenient for her to listen to the news and give orders.
"He still has a fever." Al Khan said anxiously: "What can I do if it goes on like this? We don't have a doctor in our team, and his body is not very strong."
Qin Yining was also very worried, and tightened the cotton robe tightly covering Lu Heng's body. At this time, it is best to cover Lu Heng with a cold handkerchief, or wipe his body with wine to cool Lu Heng, but now their conditions, drinking water must be calculated, and they can keep themselves from dying of thirst. It is even more impossible for Lu Heng to cover up.
At the juncture of life and death, Qin Yining couldn't estimate the others, so she put her frozen hands on Lu Heng's forehead.
Lu Heng seemed to be a little more comfortable, rubbed against her palm, and whispered with pale, chapped lips, "It's so cold."
Qin Yining frowned, helplessly.
If Lu Heng lost his life, she would be so sorry for him.
If it wasn't for Mu Jinghu and Lu Heng who saw that the situation was not right and came out, and Lu Heng disregarded the conditions that had been negotiated with Siqin and did everything to help, she might have been insulted to the point of death.
She will definitely repay Mu Jinghu's kindness.
And she hadn't had time to repay Lu Heng's kindness, how could he die in the desert like this
