As soon as these words came out, Uncle Alhan's eyes lit up, he nodded again and again, and excitedly repeated Qin Yining's words to Brother Chaganbala behind him, which attracted other Mino tribesmen to nod.
Liao Zhibing smiled and said, "It's a bit difficult to raise a guinea pig, but it's not impossible. In this way, you should come with a smart one. I'll teach him for a while, and then I'll go after he learns."
Uncle Arhan nodded again and again, thanking Liao Zhibing for thousands of times.
Seeing the expressions of Uncle Alhan and the others, Qin Yining knew that they agreed to stay, and no longer strongly demanded to go to Dazhou, and she could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
If the clansmen all went to Dazhou, how should she and Pang Xiao ensure the safety of the clansmen now that they are unable to protect themselves? Moreover, if the affairs of the Great Zhou Kingdom really involve the Tatar clansmen, the situation will be more complicated. She neither wants to make it more difficult for Pang Xiao, nor does she want the clansmen to follow them on adventures. The clansmen stay here, no need to stop Being oppressed and exploited by Siqin, being able to live freely and establish a new transition is the best choice for them.
She got up, pulled Pang Xiao, called Shang Lu Heng, and the three of them walked away quietly together, leaving this place to the passionate clansmen who communicated.
Qin Yining took a deep breath and sighed, "Such a comfortable air will be gone when I return to Da Zhou."
Pang Xiao couldn't help but sighed and patted her shoulder with a big hand. There was tenderness and guilt in his eyes. If he hadn't married him, Qin Yining would be able to live a richer and more stable life, and he wouldn't be able to live a full life. Now, there are people who can't go back home, and they are wandering outside, suffering a lot.
Even if he didn't speak, Qin Yining could understand Pang Xiao's intentions, so he raised his plain hand and patted his big hand lightly.
Her white hands and long sleeves formed a sharp contrast with Pang Xiao's well-defined hands, which were soft and firm.
Lu Heng retracted the gaze that looked at Qin Yining's shoulder, pursed his lips and looked into the distance, a gust of wind blew in his face, tugging the broken hair on Lu Heng's temples, and his already pale complexion became even paler.
Pang Xiao said, "You already know what happened at Brother Lu's house, right?"
Lu Heng nodded and said solemnly: "Last time I heard from Cao Huwei. The latest situation is unknown."
"Lu Ge is seriously ill, and the situation is not optimistic. The ruler of the Lu family is now the second master. But Brother Lu, don't worry too much. I think Lu Ge has a tough personality and won't give up easily. Brother Lu can calm down. You don’t have to be too hard on yourself, you still have to focus on your whole body.”
Pang Xiao could see that Lu Heng's physical condition was the same as Qin Yining's, and he suffered from the same troubles.
Although Lu Heng was worried about his family, he grew up in such a big family since he was a child, and he was already used to the complexity of these things. In fact, what troubled him even more was his unfulfilled feelings for Qin Yining.
However, when he sees Pang Xiao's misunderstanding, he naturally doesn't explain the matter on purpose. Although he can't get Qin Yining's love, he has gained her friendship. He also believes that he does not have no place in Qin Yining's heart at all. It's already the best situation.
What Lu Heng wanted was to be able to stand by her side for a long time, so that Pang Xiao could not misunderstand his existence, let alone affect the relationship between husband and wife.
However, thinking of his grandfather who loved him and had high hopes for him, Lu Heng was still heartbroken and lowered his head in guilt.
"It's all my fault."
If it wasn't for the truthful breath at the beginning, and the treasure map was obtained, the later things would not have happened. Grandfather trained him as the new head of the family for so many years, but now because of his mistakes, the whole plan has been overturned, and the arrangement for many years has also been in vain. Knife hurts too.
Seeing him so lonely, both Pang Xiao and Qin Yining could understand. Qin Yining didn't know how to comfort Lu Heng for a while. Instead, Pang Xiao opened his mouth.
"This is the end of the matter, and self-blame is useless. How to find a way to solve the problem is what matters. I think Brother Lu has been operating in the Lu family for many years, and he was trained as the new generation of the Lu family. Your connections and skills should not matter. Just so much."
Hearing this, Lu Heng looked up at Pang Xiao, and seeing that he was still in high spirits and full of hope for the future in this predicament, he immediately felt that he was a little unmanner.
He took a deep breath and said, "You're right. When it comes to the arrangement and control of the Lu family, I do have confidence. But there are some things that the lord doesn't know about. The Lu family is a big family that has been passed down for centuries, and there are some rules in it. of."
Pang Xiao nodded and said, "The Lumen family has been inherited for a hundred years. It has been inherited as early as the founding of the Northern Ji Kingdom. Naturally, it has its own rules."
Lu Heng nodded with a smile, "If an aristocratic family can pass on for a hundred years and stand still, there must be a set of rules that conform to the times. I'm not afraid to tell the lord, the reason why the Lu family has been able to pass through all the kings of the Northern Hebei Dynasty and after the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty. It can also be deeply reused because our family has always adhered to a philosophy, that is, to be a 'royalist' forever."
As soon as Pang Xiao heard the term 'royalty', he understood that the so-called "royal protection" that came to the Lu family was not to support whoever became the emperor, but to support whoever had the opportunity to become the emperor in the end.
Pang Xiao smiled and said, "To put it bluntly, the Lu family is more likely to choose to stand in line."
Lu Heng nodded approvingly and said with a smile: "Your Highness is someone who understands, and the deep meaning Your Highness must understand. Over the years, things like palace changes have indeed happened, but the Lu family has always been able to choose the right team, and they have always been influenced by the royal family. Therefore, the family can survive and grow on this land like an old tree taking root."
Qin Yining listened to the two of them and couldn't help but say: "So what you mean is that in your current situation, it is not that you are incapable of competing with your second uncle, but because of the rules inherited from your family, since you have been rejected by the Holy Spirit. Hi, you have become an abandoned child. To be an abandoned child, you must have the consciousness of being an abandoned child. It is like a gecko with a broken tail. You are the broken tail. Stand in line?"
"That's what I mean." Lu Heng sighed, "In front of the interests of the entire Lu family, my own gain or loss is no longer important."
Pang Xiao and Qin Yining nodded understandingly when they heard the words.
Lu Heng's idea is very correct, and it is precisely because each generation of the Lu family has many people who think like Lu Heng, and the Lu family has been able to inherit it to this day.
"In this case, it is actually a better choice for you to stay here. Going back to Dazhou will be a bloody storm for you. I am afraid that you will not only face the pressure of the various parties in the court, but also you The pressure within the Lu family and the pressure brought by the saint. Since your family already has such a rule, you also agree with this rule, wouldn't it be better to leave a free life in the future?"
"I understand what the lord means. It's just that some responsibilities cannot be easily escaped. If I stay, I may be condemned by my conscience for the rest of my life."
Lu Heng's words resonated with both Pang Xiao and Qin Yining.
They are in the same situation as Lu Heng. Even if they knew that they would stay here, they would be able to live a life where they were only envious of mandarin ducks and not immortals, and they would no longer have to think about those harassing intrigues, but they still had to return to Dazhou to face the coming storm. Because they can't leave all the mess to the elders to deal with.
Pang Xiao said: "Then what are your plans after you go back?"
Lu Heng pursed his lips and said for a while, "Perhaps without the downfall of a great family, there will be people like me who don't care about the overall situation."
Qin Yining and Pang Xiao glanced at each other, and had already heard what Lu Heng meant by his words.
He didn't intend to give up the position of the head of the family to his second uncle.
Seeing Lu Heng's tangled and guilty face, Qin Yining smiled and explained: "Who can say what will happen in the future. If the wind at home is one-sided, who can guarantee that your second uncle's choice is correct? There are checks and balances between the two sides. Fang is the best policy, so no matter which side makes the right choice, the Lu family will always have a line that will continue, which is better than desperate."
Lu Heng was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up. He said softly, "You are right. I'm in love, and I'm stunned by this kind of thing."
The stagnant anger that had accumulated in his heart was relieved by Qin Yining's words.
Lu Heng has always been confident in his decision-making ability, but his self-confidence has been exhausted by such a long period of ups and downs.
But thinking of the situation in the capital, thinking of his grandfather who was so distressed to him, he cheered up.
Sometimes, it is found that the reality is that he is not allowed to retreat at all, and he must be strong.
Although Lu Heng's face was still a little pale, his smile was extraordinarily firm. It was as if the big stone that had been pressing on his heart had been removed, and he was finally able to let go of himself and breathe a sigh of relief.
Qin Yining thought for a while, then said: "Since the decision has been made, when you leave the desert and reach a safe area, I will ask Aunt Cao to escort you to enter the country secretly. If you go with us, it will be known, and you must be suspicious of you behind your back. ."
Lu Heng was originally reluctant to part with Qin Yining. However, Qin Yining had already reunited with Pang Xiao, and it would be boring for him to stay by his side all the time. Moreover, he is not a person who can't take it up and can't let it go. At this time, there are more important things waiting for him to do. If he develops well, he can also help Pang Xiao and Qin Yining.
Thinking of this, Lu Heng no longer hesitated, nodded and said, "It's really better to go away from you. Then I'll have to work for you."
Qin Yining said with a smile: "You and I are friends of life and death, and I want to thank you. Isn't it an outsider?"
Qin Yining is open-minded, so his smile and tone are very open at this time. It made Lu Heng not think too much, as if thinking about her with those charming thoughts would be a blasphemy to this friendship.
So Lu Heng just nodded and said with a smile, "What you said is."
