After the three agreed, they returned to the camp.

At this time, the brothers Chaganbala and Harbala had already learned from Liao Zhibing. Along with him was Uncle Arhan who acted as a translator, and they went to learn how to raise Tracking Gu and how to control it.

In the days that followed, everyone was busy preparing. On the one hand, the people of the Minuo tribe were preparing for how to settle in Xiyue. Brother Chaganbala was learning to use tracking Gu, so Lu Heng acted as the sole representative of Minuo. The tribesmen of the tribe went to negotiate with the officials stationed by Yuzuki.

However, because Pang Xiao became the king of the evening moon chosen by the gods, and the goddess has become the concubine of the king of the evening moon, several officials in the court are now very obedient to the new county king.

So Lu Heng came to negotiate with Pang Xiao's officials, and things went very smoothly.

Pang Xiao first settled Zhou Meng's wives, concubines and children. He did not take anger at them as they were worried, but summoned all the officials to the front and announced in public that they would not be harsh on them.

"There is no reason for the mistakes made by the Zhou clan to let others follow suit. Both women and children are innocent. They are also citizens of Xiyue and should not be implicated."

As soon as this remark came out, it was unanimously recognized by the officials, and most of the officials were very relieved.

-The newly appointed King and Princess of Xiyue, even Zhou Meng's wives, concubines and children can be spared, let alone attack their innocent courtiers.

After Xiyue and Minuo had divided their places of residence and decided to govern their own affairs and live in peace, Pang Xiao set his sights on choosing the next person to govern from among Xiyue's officials.

In the end he chose an official named Li Ru.

Li Ru is thirty-four years old this year, and his ancestors migrated here with Xiyue. His father and grandfather both held important official positions in the Xiyue Dynasty, and his ancestors were also officials of the state government during the Northern Ji Kingdom period.

Li Ru is smart and capable, yet loyal and kind. After Pang Xiao tested him, he felt that this person was quite suitable, so he called him to the palace for a secret conversation.

What was discussed specifically, Qin Yining was not present, so naturally it was unknown.

However, when Li Ru left the palace, his eyes were bright, as if full of hope for the future.

Qin Yining smiled and offered Pang Xiao a cup of tea, and asked, "What did you say to him? Why are people so excited?"

Pang Xiao smiled and said, "I just taught him the affairs of acting as an agent, and I told him about the current situation outside and told him my true identity."

Qin Yining said in surprise: "He knows who you are? Then doesn't he also know that you are not the king of Xiyue chosen by God. Then why is he so excited?"

Pang Xiao smiled and said, "Although Xiyue's clansmen all believe in the Xiyue religion, there is no harm in thinking about some things. Li Ru is a sensible person. Anyway, during the previous Zhoumeng's rule, the people of Xiyue had never been there. No matter how good it is, the royal family is just using a legend from the holy book of Xiyue to give hope to the people, as if drawing a big pie to satisfy their hunger, and the people's patience will reach its limit sooner or later.

"The reason why the people of Xiyue are so convinced of the legend of the goddess is because the food problem in Xiyue is no longer optimistic. Now I have a strong background and promise to help them get out of the no-man's land desert at any time, and let the people of Xiyue have With food to eat, and the ability to trade with Da Zhou in the future, the people of Xiyue will no longer have to be trapped here like prison, and they can leave at any time if they want. Of course, Li Ru will be excited about so many benefits."

Qin Yining nodded with a smile, leaning on Pang Xiao's shoulder: "Actually, I really like this place, it would be great if our family could come here to settle down. We can live our own little life in peace, and don't have to think about it anymore. Those who are outside are disturbing, even if there is no golden clothes and jade food, sweet maids and extravagant children, they will be very happy."

Pang Xiao put his long arms around her shoulders, held her in his arms, and kissed her forehead, his eyes became extraordinarily firm.

"There will be such a day. At that time, no one will threaten the lives of us and our family, we can live a normal life, we will not think about anything, just think about how to hold the two for three years. "

Qin Yining's face turned red when she heard the words.

Although she and Pang Xiao were married, they only spent a month together after their marriage. After that, they had been displaced. The days of disaster relief were even more laborious and haggard. How could they "hold the two for three years"? Well, she hadn't really researched it in depth.

After being told by Pang Xiao at this moment, Qin Yining was so ashamed that he could crawl into the crack of the ground, smacked him on the shoulder, and spat, "No seriousness."

"Why isn't it serious?" Pang Xiao loved the delicate appearance of her Xiafei cheeks, pinched her chin and said vaguely, "I think it's a big deal."

Qin Yining wanted to refute, but the words were swallowed in the end. He can only limp his body in his arms and let him do whatever he wants.

After half a month of rectification in Xiyue, everything is ready.

Brothers Chaganbala and Harbala also successfully learned to use the tracking Gu method. The two brothers also decided that they will use the tracking Gu as an inheritance in the future, so that every generation can learn how to use it. In this oasis, tracking Gu is simply the best weapon for entering and leaving Xiyue.

Early that morning, a dozen Xiyue officials led by Li Ru and the Minuo tribe led by the Chaganbala brothers sent Qin Yining and his party to the edge of the oasis.

Uncle Alhan's eyes were a little wet, looking at Qin Yining and Lu Heng, and said sadly: "If you have any difficulties outside, come back. The Minuo Department will always be your backing."

Harbala and Chaganbala also nodded and said in the Tatar language: "You will always be the head of the Mino tribe!"

Pang Xiao told Qin Yining what the Harbala brothers said. Qin Yining looked at the clansmen who used to live and die together, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Everyone should take care. Even if we are separated from each other from now on, we are all worried about each other in our hearts, then we are still the same as no difference."

Uncle Alhan pursed his lips, his eyes were full of tears, he beat his chest hard, and nodded heavily.

On the other hand, although Xiyue's officials did not have such deep feelings, after Li Ru negotiated with Pang Xiao, he now regards Pang Xiao as Xiyue's hope, and at this time, he also solemnly salutes Pang Xiao and Qin Yining.

"The prince and princess will return soon."

Pang Xiao nodded with a smile, patted Li Ru's shoulder and said: "A successful ruler will never rush to exclude dissidents and expel aliens, but will achieve the best balance among multiple factions and ethnic groups. The so-called technique of checks and balances is like this. Master Li is a smart person, I hope you can remember what this king said."

For a while, Li Ru was like a dick, and he couldn't help but look back at the Minuo tribe who were saying goodbye to Lu Heng and Qin Yining. He was still a little shaken, but now he was firm.

"Don't worry, my lord, I understand what you mean, this piece of land may be attacked by wind and sand, but it will not be divided into two parts. What the people of Xiyue need most is not war, but stable development. I will not Do things that are not good for the people."

Seeing him, Pang Xiao knew it at one point, and promised not to attack the Minuo Department after he left, so he smiled and patted him on the shoulder again, "Take care."

"Prince, princess take care." Li Ru led the officials to salute again.

Qin Yining wrapped the turban, waved at the Minuo tribe, and left Xiyue with Lu Heng, Cao Yuqing, Liao Zhibing, and Jinghuwei who followed Pang Xiao, and gradually walked into the desert.

Uncle Alhan and his party watched their silhouette gradually turn into a small black spot, and then turned back reluctantly.

Brothers Chaganbala and Harbala have red eyes.

Uncle Alhan also has a sore nose.

In the end, they were born and died together. This friendship is different from ordinary feelings.

"Okay, let's not be sad anymore, think about it, how to use tracking Gu to take over our other clansmen and children is a serious business!"

With blue sky and white clouds in front of us, free air, and a stable environment, the Minoans can finally break out of the siege of the Tatar royal family, no longer oppressed and enslaved, and continue to thrive here, and everything in the future seems to be full. Hope, Harbala and Chaganbala also cheered up and laughed happily.

Although Qin Yining and Pang Xiao and his party went through many twists and turns on their way out of the desert, because they had made adequate preparations and had Liao Zhibing as their guide, everything went smoothly in the desert.

After seven days, they took the shortest route and finally left the desert and came to a remote and wild place in the territory of Tartar.

At this time, it was the mid-winter season, and heavy snow covered the wilderness and distant mountains. The group chose a leeward hillside to camp and discussed the next itinerary.

Qin Yining said: "I think, in a few days, we will approach the border between Dazhou and the Tartars. At that time, it is best for us and Lu Gongzi to go separately. The goal is too big in one place, what is the best thing Lu Gongzi has to do? It is convenient to enter in secret."

Lu Heng also nodded: "Exactly."

Qin Yining smiled and looked at Cao Yuqing, "Aunt Cao, did you agree to what I discussed with you last time?"

Cao Yuqing couldn't help pinching Qin Yining's cheek, "You little girl, with your husband, I'll be spared?"

"Where is it?" Qin Yining would be blushing at Cao Yuqing's words, and he coughed before saying, "Aunt Cao is very capable, and she is most proficient in makeup, hiding and other techniques. It's easy for you to dress up Young Master Lu to enter the country."

Cao Yuqing pretended to be helpless and said, "Okay, okay, who asked you to call me auntie. I'll promise you. Leave the matter of escorting Erye Lu to Beijing."

Qin Yining smiled and shook Cao Yuqing's arm: "Thank you Aunt Cao."

Cao Yuqing liked Qin Yining from the bottom of her heart, smiled and flicked her forehead lightly.

Lu Heng stood up and saluted Cao Yuqing gratefully: "Thank you Cao Guard."
