According to Zingler, the Tatars made a sudden large-scale search of the mountains in order to cooperate with the envoy group to go south to the imperial capital for negotiations.

The purpose is naturally to seize the crown prince and princess in order to increase the bargaining chips.

Despite the constant rain, there was still a steady stream of Tatars heading into the mountains today. It can be seen that they have really put a lot of effort into this time.

Originally, Jia Min also wanted to stay in the mountains for a while longer, hoping to find Wei Ruolan and Lichun. At the very least, the bodies of Lixia and others must be found and hastily buried.

However, after hearing what Zingler said, he did not dare to delay any longer.

Now, the crown prince is gone. Chang'an has become the most important target of the other party. If you still wander around the mountains, it will be extremely dangerous.

Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy's encirclement had not yet been closed, Jia Min and Qinggele mixed out of the mountain. When I was in the mountains, I encountered two groups of enemies, but fortunately, there were only a few people in each group, and they were all solved by Jia Min.

Out of the mountain, on the way to meet two groups of people entering the mountain for reinforcements. Zingler came forward, pretended to go back to deliver the wounded, and mixed up.

The reason why they want to do the opposite and pull it to North Vancouver is also a helpless move.

One is that the crown prince and they retreated from South Windula and would soon be discovered by the enemy. If he follows him, he will be caught in the middle of a siege.

The second is Chang'an's injury, which is no longer suitable for staying in the mountains.

Not to mention the difficulty of mobility, it is also easy to get infected. There is an urgent need for a stable, clean environment to recuperate.

"Lidong has already died in battle, I buried him, made a mark, and will bring her back when I have the opportunity in the future."

Jia Min still decided to tell Chang'an about Lidong.

Now tell her that with the foundation of today's tragic battles, Chang'an is easier to accept.

Save her from still having illusions and looking forward to her still alive. In the future, there will be even greater disappointment.

"We didn't see Lichun, and neither did Wei Ruolan. However, she is with Wei Ruolan, I think she should be fine. Wei Ruolan is very good, and it is not so easy for the enemy to catch them. ”

Chang'an paused for a moment and began to eat again.

"Lichun and a few of them have been with me since I was a child. It's about the same as my sister, but I didn't expect ....... ”

"Chang'an, sometimes, people are very helpless. There are things you don't want to do and you have to do. There are situations you don't want to face, and you have to face them. It's not just you, but a lot of the time, I'm like that. ”

"I understand, Chief Min. What are our goals this time? ”

"Let's go to the Qingle house."

"Yes, come to my house, my mother is a shaman, and she is a very good person. My house is very remote, and there are very few outsiders who go there. When you get there, you will be safe. ”

Chang'an didn't say anything, since it was Chief Min who wanted to do this, she didn't need to suspect anything.

cleaned up, tied Chang'an to Jia Min, and several people got back on the road.

Without horses, you have to walk. According to the itinerary, if it goes well, it will take a day and a night to get to Qingler's house. They are still short on time.

In the middle of the night, I arrived at an Ao Bao. There is a grass hut here, and there is finally a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

There was some dry wood in the house, and a fire was lit and the clothes began to be baked.

There is cheese and fried yellow rice for pedestrians, as well as a brick tea. Qinggel boiled tea, Jia Min roasted the cured meat on the fire, and after a few people ate it, Chang'an fell asleep in a daze.

Originally, he planned to continue his journey, but Jia Min couldn't bear to wake up Chang'an, so he decided to stay here for one night and wait until he got up tomorrow morning before leaving.

Although it was raining at night, and it was unlikely that anyone would come here at this time, Jia Min still didn't dare to slack off, and took turns sleeping with Qinggele and spent the night.

The next day I got up and continued on my way. This time, he was swaggering on the main road.

As they were heading into the hinterland of the northern Vendura steppes, Jamin estimated that the Tatars would not be particularly wary of them.

Sure enough, on the way, they encountered two groups of tribal forces, and they ignored them.

When it was almost noon, I met a migratory herdsman, and the hostess saw that Jia Min was working hard with Chang'an on her back, and asked Chang'an to be put on their ox cart and pulled for a while. It wasn't until late in the evening that they came to a fork in the road, and they parted.

Before leaving, the family gave them a large piece of dried beef. For a while, Jia Min was moved.

The folk customs of North Ventura are still very simple.

In fact, no matter where they go, the vast majority of ordinary people are relatively kind and simple.

Although there are wars, many times, the common people are just passive followers. If they had a choice, I believe that most of the time, there would be no war.

War is an extension of politics, and politics is basically a game of rulers. Including the South Vendura war he launched last year, in fact, it can't get out of this trap.

Along the way, Chang'an didn't talk much, and Jia Min understood her feelings, so he tried to talk to her as little as possible.

For Chang'an, she needs time now to slowly accept the reality in front of her.

No matter what happens, the living, always have to live. This psychological hurdle still has to be overcome by herself after all.

In fact, there are many Han Chinese in North Windura.

The earliest of these Han Chinese people have lived here for several generations. Almost blends in with the locals.

There is not much difference in terms of living habits and customs.

It can be said that they have become part of the local population.

In addition to that, there are craftsmen and some merchants who come here. Because of the technical and business opportunities they bring to the local area, they are still relatively popular here.

Some of these craftsmen and merchants came voluntarily. Some were plundered in war.

The other Han people were slaves plundered by war.

Some of them were civilians, some were prisoners of war.

Along the way, Jia Min met several groups of Han slaves.

Looking at these people, Jia Min couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

A war that changed the fate of many people.

From princesses like Chang'an, to nobles and bureaucrats like Baoyu, Jia Rong, Jia Huan, Sun Yuanfei, and Li Chengbin, to servants like Mingyan, Lixia, Liqiu, and Lidong.

There are also people like Wang Xin, Niu Jizong, Liu Fang, Chen Ruiwen, and Ma Shangde whose whereabouts are still unknown.

Even himself, who was proud of the spring breeze, became a white-bodied person overnight.

Now, regardless of life and death, he has rescued the daughter of the top decision-maker who started this war.

The drama of this incident is simply more wonderful than traveling into this world yourself.

Three days later, we finally arrived at Zingele's home.

The so-called home is nothing more than a yurt house, located on the shore of Luoyan Lake. 'Wild Goose Lake', as the name suggests, is the place where wild geese stop.

Every year, the geese returning from the south in autumn and the geese returning north in spring stay here for a while to rest and replenish their food before continuing their long journey.

When I passed by the lake just now, I saw a lot of geese in the lake.

While Tzingler was still outside, he shouted. Jia Min and Chang'an waited outside for a while, and Qingle and her mother came out.

This is a forty-six or seventeen-year-old woman, with the most common appearance in the South Windura grassland, but her eyes are much more energetic.

"Come in, my honored guest."

"Auntie, I'm bothered."

"You're welcome, they're all in trouble. It is also appropriate to take care of each other. ”

"Auntie, did Tzingler tell you who we really are?"

On the way, Jia Min told Qinggel that he would go home to see his mother and tell him his true identity with Chang'an.

Taking them in was an extremely dangerous move, and if the Tatars knew about it, it would bring ruin to the Zingler family.

If it is concealed at this time, it will be very unfair to Qingler's mother. If Qingler's mother disagrees, he is ready to take Chang'an with him and think of other ways.

"I told you, isn't it Princess Chang'an and Bu Kuidusi, now, I think you are just an ordinary person, a friend of my son. He brought his friends into his house, can I still kick you out? ”

"Then thank you, auntie."

"You can't live here, though."

If you can't live here, where are you going?

"I am a shaman, and people often come to my house to ask about things, ask for medical treatment, and after a long time, people will find out. Go to the lake. ”

"In the lake?"

"If you live on an island in the middle of the lake, with Zingler, he is now a deserter, and he cannot stay at home. You and Zingler pack up your things, the girl stays, and I'll look at her injuries. ”

After the old lady finished speaking, she went back to the house first.

Chang'an looked at Jia Min, hesitated slightly, and entered the house.

Jia Min followed Qinggel to pack some food, cooking utensils and other daily necessities and went to the lake.

There was a canoe on the edge of the lake, and the two of them got on board, and Zingler rowed towards the middle of the lake.

It took about 20 minutes to go to the island in the middle of the lake.

The island is surrounded by trees and has a beautiful view. There are many large trees that hug each other, and the vegetation is very lush.

After a while, they came to a thatched hut.

"It used to be a lama's practice place, but now no one lives there. Although it is simple, the people are okay. ”

When I opened the door and went in, I saw that these were three adobe houses, although they were not big, and they were complete with pots, stoves, tables and chairs. There is a room in the middle where you can cook.

There is one on each side, just one for Chang'an, and one for Jia Min and Qinggele.

"Chief Min, you wait here, I'll go back and get some more things and bring Chang'an with you."

"Zingele, wait."

Jia Min took out twenty taels of silver from his backpack. He originally had a few gold leaves in his hand, but, considering that Qinggel was just an ordinary person, he took out the gold leaves at once, and he was afraid of trouble again, so he took out some small pieces of silver, so as not to be too ostentatious.

"Chief Min, this is not good, when you come to my house, why do you still need to spend money?"

"Qingele, don't be verbose, I'm afraid I'll have to live for a long time in the future, and I always ask for money to eat and drink."

Jia Min stuffed the silver to Qinggele, and he was not polite, put it away and left.

Jia Min looked at the house a little and began to clean up.

First, I pulled out the weeds in front of the door, and after cleaning up the almost, I made a broom out of grass and began to clean up the house in Chang'an. Then came the kitchen, and finally to the west side of his and Zingler's room.

After cleaning up, I went to the firewood shed outside, brought back some dry firewood, stuffed it into the stove pit and lit it.

This is to burn the kang, and only when the kang is heated can people live on it, otherwise, people who live on it will get cold and get sick.
