639. 638 Seventy-seven news
He hugged Lin Ling'er tightly while looking at the letter, and before he knew it, he pushed harder and harder until he pinched her shoulder, forcing her to look up at him.
Just this look made her heart tighten even more, his eyes were red, he was clutching the letter in his hand, his eyes were magnificent, and the waves were surging.
She didn't dare to ask, a heart had already risen and fallen with his eyes.
He looked at her for a long time, and finally said:
"It's Nangong Jue's handwritten letter."
She still didn't say a word, just clenched her nervous heart and listened to his next with trepidation.
"He asked me to meet in the Taklama Desert, and he said that as long as I did what he said, he would definitely return Qiqi to us."
Her eyes that were already full of tears finally closed with peace of mind, and two lines of tears slid down, Qiqi, is she about to see her Qiqi?
Unable to bear the heartache, she threw herself into his arms uncontrollably and cried, unable to speak at all.
At this time, he should be like her, otherwise how could he hold her tightly and refuse to let go.
She could feel his heartbeat, the tears that sank into her hair, and after more than four months, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
They hugged each other like this, tears streaming down their faces, as if they wanted to release all the emotions they had suppressed for the past four months at this moment.
Qian Ye, Mu Yu and the others also cried a lot, their hearts were tied to this eldest princess, and in just four months, everyone seemed to be a few years older.
"I'm going to the desert with you."
Crying enough, she raised her face to look at him, with determination and anticipation.
He stared into her eyes, and the longing in them made him reluctant to refuse.
But she was afraid that he would not give her this opportunity, and without waiting for him to answer, she said again:
"I'm familiar with that desert, maybe...... Maybe I can help. ”
I don't know what she can do to help, and with him, a victorious general, she doesn't seem to be useful, after thinking about it, she said,
"Even if I can't help, then I must go, not only this time, but every time you go on an expedition or visit in the future, I will go, not to mention that this time it is about Qiqi......"
"I promise you."
Before she could finish speaking, he had already answered her, cupped her cheek, and said seriously,
"I promise you that from this day forward, nothing will separate us again."
He saw through her thoughts, and her eagerness made him feel distressed, so he quickly satisfied her.
She bit her lip and nodded:
"Hmm."
Within three days, Tuoba Jiuxiao mobilized 1,000 men and horses from the Dead Battalion, plus 20,000 soldiers from the lord of the country, and marched towards the Taklama Desert with Lin Ling'er.
It will take at least a month to get from Kintan to the Taklama Desert.
It doesn't seem to be glamorous to bring so many people just for the sake of a prince of the previous dynasty, so Tuoba Jiuxiao divided the team into several parts, arrived at the border area in batches, and did not let them wear military uniforms, more than 20,000 people were all in civilian clothes, but a red ribbon was tied around the wrist to distinguish them.
Along the way, Lin Ling'er was anxious, Nangong Jue only said that he would let Tuoba Jiuxiao do what he said, but he didn't say what he should do, and the letter didn't say anything, it seemed that only when he arrived at the designated place could he have instructions for the next step.
The future is uncertain, and she can only take one step at a time, but when she finally sees Qiqi, she only needs to think about this when she is helpless, and she is full of strength.
The month passed quickly, and she walked the Silk Road again, but her mood was more nervous than every previous one.
Tomorrow is about to enter the desert, but Nangong Jue has not moved, as if he just wants to lure them here, that's all.
Before falling asleep at night, Lin Ling'er curled up, facing inward and biting her nails, a small movement that was enough to expose her uneasiness.
Tuoba Jiuxiao pulled her body over, took her into his arms, took out her hand and held it, and patted her back, for fear that she would be cranky.
Her eyes straightened, and she muttered for a long time:
"Wouldn't we be too hasty, you say? I came here with just a letter, and I didn't even find out the source of the letter, whether it was written by Nangong Jue, in case someone wanted to take advantage of people's danger and divert the tiger from the mountain......"
"Do you think that in the Tiansheng Dynasty now, who can do anything by diverting the tiger from the mountain? Do you want to usurp the throne or assassinate the ruler? Most of the military power is in my hands, and the rest is also controlled by Wu Yong and Mu Yu, and it will be fine. ”
In order to comfort her, he rarely explained it so clearly,
"As for this letter, this is the only news in Nangong in the past four months, I have found someone to compare, it is indeed his handwritten letter, not to mention what if we act rashly this time? For the sake of Qiqi, everything is worth it. ”
She slipped into his arms, burst into tears, and choked up:
"yes, what can we do if we don't? As long as I can find Qiqi, let me do anything. ”
He hugged her tightly, wanting to give her more comfort, but the truth was that he was a little scared after listening to her words.
For the sake of Qiqi, she is willing to do anything, including the meaning of becoming Nangong's absolute survival...... He remembered it and begged that it would not be fulfilled.
In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, a "bang" woke up Tuoba Jiuxiao, who was already sleeping lightly.
He opened his eyes suddenly, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
After a pause at the door, he opened the door, and there was no one outside except the soldiers who were standing guard but napping, and on the doorframe, an arrow had been shot in, and a note was nailed to the arrow.
He looked to the left and right again, and at this time, Murray, the commander of the Dead Battalion, seemed to hear the movement as well, and walked out of the other room.
It was quiet in the post station, and Tuoba Jiuxiao didn't want to wake up the others, so he raised his hand, and Murray understood, walked over quietly, took the note, and presented it to Xiao.
Xiao unfolded the note and frowned after reading it.
"Lord of the Kingdom, what did Nangong Jue say?"
Murray asked eagerly.
Xiao didn't speak, but handed the note directly to Murray.
Murray was furious after reading it:
"He actually let the lord of the country and the master of Ling'er enter the desert alone, his wishful thinking is really good!"
There is no irony in Murray's words,
"Lord, don't listen to him, money can make ghosts grind, if he hires an assassin to assassinate the lord in the desert, won't it be far from quenching his thirst? Besides, what kind of place is this desert? People who are not familiar with the desert are equivalent to a natural grave, if they can't get out in time, they will inevitably be more auspicious, and if they want to take advantage of people's danger, it is the greatest convenience......"
"I'll go!"
Lin Ling'er suddenly stood up from behind Xiao and said categorically.
Murray's voice was not loud, but unfortunately Lin Ling'er woke up from the moment Xiao left the bed, and she listened to their conversation.
"Master, by all means!"
Murray was surprised by her presence, but experience told him that this was not going to work, and he had to stop it in time.
After that, he looked at the sky, the lord of the country does not love this master for a day or two, there are some things that others don't know, but he knows it very well, he is very afraid that the lord of the country will lose himself in front of this woman, lose the minimum judgment, in that case, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Xiao understood what Murray meant, but once Lin Ling'er became stubborn, who could fight for her?
"Why not? Why not? ”
She took a step forward, her gaze persistent,
"If you don't do what he says, do you have a better way? In the past four months, you have not done anything, and now this is my only hope to find Qiqi, are you going to deprive you of this only hope? ”
Her face suddenly became gloomy,
"Or, you are simply deliberate, deliberately not letting me find Qiqi, and deliberately letting Nangong ......"
"Bell!"
The more she talked, the more she became a conspiracy theorist, as long as Qiqi was involved, she would become crazy, he could understand it, but he couldn't let it go,
"Don't think nonsense, if you can find Qiqi, no one is unwilling to work hard, and we will make full arrangements for this matter before making a decision."
He turned back and grabbed her shoulders hard to settle her.
She gritted her teeth, knocked his hand off and took a step back, staring at him menacingly:
"Okay, I'll give you an hour, after an hour, no matter what arrangements you make, I will go into the desert, maybe Qiqi is waiting for me in the desert to pick her up now, if I don't go, she will be very disappointed."
This is the mother, as long as there is a thousandth, or even a thousandth, hope, she is willing to try, even if she will give her life for it.
Xiao nodded helplessly, if he didn't let her go this time, he would lose her forever, he had this premonition.
In the next hour, no matter how Xiao and the others were discussing the plan, Lin Ling'er was in no mood to ask, she wholeheartedly packed her bags and brought enough water and dry food, because she was going into the desert.
No matter what their plan is, she has only one thought, she will do what Nangong Jue said, let her go into the desert, let her die in the desert, let her die in the desert, as long as she can be with Qiqi, even if it is only for one day, just take a look, whatever.
She missed her daughter so much, she thought like she was going crazy, she was thinking about dying.
When the soldiers in the inn were on standby, they only saw her busy upstairs and downstairs, and she was like a lonely traveler, desperate to move forward.
"Master, don't be in such a hurry, can you wait for the lord of the country to say okay?"
Xiao Zhengzi has been following her closely, watching her busy with this and that, but he is unwilling to help, because he has not yet received the order of the lord of the country.
Lin Ling'er didn't say a word, she didn't need to get anyone's order, for her, the news of Qiqi was the best order.
This time, there were Murray, Shen Cheng, Mu Er and Xiao Zhengzi, Wu Yong and Mu Yu, as the people who temporarily took care of the government when the lord of the country was away, were left in the palace by Xiao.
Xiao Zhengzi was anxious, but there was no way to convince her, Lin Ling'er was famous for her straightforwardness and stubbornness, and she would definitely do what she wanted to do.
An hour passed, and Xiao finally came out of the room, and saw that she was ready and waiting at the door of the inn, as if to say her final goodbye to him.
