The scene was tense as if the air was dry enough to burst.
Qin Yining's brows could not help but wrinkle into Sichuan characters.
It seems that Zhou Meng is really moving.
Now as long as she objects, the two sides will immediately go to war. Not to mention that Lu Heng has a good chance of winning with the clansmen, if the people of Xiyue are greedy and come together to snatch the food and grass
Then the Mino tribe faced not only a thousand soldiers, but all the greedy Xiyue people. The consequences may then be unimaginable.
And here, Uncle Arhan could not have protected her and the two clansmen away safely.
That is to say, if she objected immediately, no matter what the results of Lu Heng's side were, the four of her people would be dead, and at the same time, the people of the Mino tribe would be bloodbathed and looted.
If she agrees, no matter what she chooses, at least the innocent people of the Mino tribe will not suffer casualties.
At this stage of thinking, Qin Yining almost made a decision in his heart. Now it seems that what Zhou Meng wants most is not food and grass, but her. Could she sacrifice the lives of her clan for her own selfishness
Qin Yining closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his expression was very firm.
"I already understand what the prince means. But it's too hard for the prince to ask me to make a decision immediately. You should give me time to think about it."
"What else are you considering? This king is the best candidate." Zhou Meng was already in a good mood at this time, because Qin Yining's words were equivalent to a compromise.
Seeing the beauty's frown, Zhou Meng finally felt a little pity for Xiangxiang and cherishing jade.
"Okay, okay, I don't force you to agree immediately. But don't think about it for three or five years. I don't want to wait. In this way, this king promises you that the women in the harem will be dismissed. In the future, only You are a princess, you also promise to this king and give me an answer tomorrow morning. If you haven’t figured it out by dawn, then I will order someone to attack your clan, and you don’t want to kill others because of your affairs, right?”
Qin Yining gave Zhou Meng a slight smile, his eyes were full of ridicule and coldness, "Don't worry, the prince." This prince is a bit damned!
I don't know when the banquet was cancelled.
Zhou Meng walked away with confidence with his courtiers. He left a huge hall to Qin Yining and Arhan.
Qin Yining just sat in the same position, analyzing the current situation over and over again in his mind. She wanted to use this time to come up with a workable solution. However, even though she racked her brains until dawn, she still hadn't thought of a better countermeasure other than agreeing to Zhou Meng.
So, now I can only promise.
But where can she serve other men
Qin Yining stood up and exercised for a while, sitting stiff and tired all night. Uncle Arhan immediately said, "Let's escape, shall we? I can protect you and escape!"
Qin Yining smiled and shook his head: "I can't run away, and I can't tire innocent clansmen. Actually, it's not bad to marry this county king."
"No! This man is tyrannical and insidious, not a good man!" After getting along with each other, Uncle Arhan regarded Qin Yining as his patriarch, and even more as his junior. How could he watch a girl as beautiful as a flower and jade marry him? A little guy like Zhou Meng
"Uncle Arhan. We have no choice now. Once the war begins, the Mino tribe will surely suffer annihilation. We finally got here, how much effort did we waste to preserve the strength of the tribe? We can't give up all our efforts."
"But you..."
"I'm fine." Qin Yining smiled lightly and said, "Didn't he want to marry me, then let him marry me."
Anyway, she is determined not to yield to another man. It's a big deal to die with Zhou Meng! Even if she died, the people of the Mino tribe could still thrive on the land of Xiyue, and she didn't feel sorry for them.
Qin Yining was already determined to die by this time.
Anyway, she had already given up her life. Ever since she followed the Mino tribe into the no-man’s-land desert, she had given up struggling, and every day she lived from then on was a waste of money.
Although he will never see his parents and family again in this life, he will never see Pang Xiao again. But she believed that even if she was gone, Pang Xiao would help take care of her parents. And Pang Xiao is still young, I believe that after a long time, he will gradually forget her, maybe he will meet a good girl again in the future, they can live together and have children...
Thinking of this, Qin Yining suddenly felt his eyes warm, his nose was sore, and tears welled up.
She gritted her teeth hard and closed her eyes, holding back her tears.
The matter has come to this point, no one is forcing her, she has come to this point by herself, and she will not complain or regret it. It is enough to have a relationship with Pang Xiao as husband and wife. At least her life has never been ordinary. It is not a waste of life to come to this world. She has always been worthy of her conscience.
Uncle Arhan looked at Qin Yining's stubborn back, his fists clenched so tightly that he almost crushed his fingers.
In fact, everyone is not a fool. In the current situation, it is indeed the best choice for Qin Yining to marry Zhou Meng. But how could he see the sacrifice of this righteous girl for the Mino tribe, but his heart was not touched
"If I had known this, I should have forced your aunt to take you away." Uncle Alhan thought of the woman who was as beautiful as Qin Yining, but possessed a stunt, and sighed, "Why did we listen to you in the first place!"
Now that Qin Yining has made up his mind, no matter how much suffering there is in his heart, he will not be shaken, nor will he regret it.
Seeing that Uncle Arhan blamed himself so much, he comforted him: "Uncle, don't think too much, everything I do has been carefully considered. This is my choice, and it has nothing to do with others."
Uncle Arhan's lips pursed tightly, the more indifferent Qin Yining was, the more distressed he became.
At this moment, the wooden door of the main hall was pushed open from the outside with a creak.
Zhou Meng walked in with someone, raised his chin arrogantly and said, "What, have you made up your mind?"
Qin Yining nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, but the county king must ensure that the matchmaker is getting married, and also to ensure that my clansmen will be treated the same as Xiyue's clansmen in the future, and they cannot be treated differently. And my clansmen have their own patriarchs. , everything still has to obey the command of the patriarch, rather than completely subordinate to Xiyue. We are just friendly neighbors."
Hearing that Qin Yining was still fighting for the best interests of the Minuo tribe at this time, Uncle Arhan's eyes were red and he almost burst into tears.
Zhou Meng frowned, pondered for a moment, as if he had figured out something, and said with a smile, "Okay, it's up to you. Then we will hold our wedding this afternoon, and at the wedding, I will announce everything you proposed. Come. After our bridal chamber, your clansmen can live as you asked."
Qin Yining nodded with a chuckle, but his eyes were cold. This week Meng, can not stay. She believed that with Lu Heng's ability, as long as this person died, Lu Heng would be able to lead the Minuo Department to win the dominant position here!
