"So, now the county king wants both the population of our Mino tribe and our food for free."

What Lu Heng didn't say was that the King of Xiyue County still wanted to get Qin Yining!

Lu Heng thought of Zhou Meng's squinting face as soon as he saw Qin Yining, and he couldn't help gritting his teeth in anger, Qin Yining's beauty, it was normal to can't help but look at it twice, but Zhou Meng is said to have four concubines and more than thirty concubines, and more than a dozen sons, so old, he is embarrassed to stare at a young girl, it's a worrying character!

"How are you going to deal with it? Leave us all behind, I'm afraid you're in danger. Lu Heng's eyes were full of worry.

Qin Yining thought of Zhou Meng's appearance, and also felt a burst of tooth soreness.

"I'll find a way to get you to stay." She pointed her fingertips over everyone and said, "You are my cousin, the three of you are my guards, and the two of you are my maids." I said this to him, and he gave you permission to come. ”

Uncle Arhan smiled when he heard this: "That's what the person who went to call us said, and I guessed that it was what you said here, so we didn't act rashly." And they don't understand what our people are talking about. ”

Qin Yining was overjoyed when he heard this: "It's better this way." It's also easier for you to say anything to each other. Are you restricted in your movement during this time? ”

"Maybe it's because we want to show the side of Corporal Lixian, or maybe it's because we guard the grain and grass, and their people are very polite to us, and there are many of their girls who come to bring water and food to our warriors every day, and they always deliberately stay to talk, take a look at the grain and grass before leaving."

In this way, it is self-evident what these people want to do.

I think that's what their king commanded. Or maybe Zhou Meng has already begun to order people to reveal his tone to the outside world, he wants to marry the goddess as a concubine, so he has such an upward and downward effect.

Qin Yining nodded, "I understand." I'll probably have to deal with him next. We are adapting to the situation. ”

Lu Heng used Tatar to say Qin Yining's words to everyone behind him. Several of them nodded in understanding.

Qin Yining discussed with Lu Heng in a low voice: "Let's integrate into their lives first, see the terrain clearly, and plan clearly if we want to leave, don't act rashly, it's not worth losing our lives in vain." Now these people see that we have also fled into the oasis, although they say that the goddess is not a goddess, but I don't think the county kings here believe very much in the words used to appease the people in their holy books, most of them are trying to blackmail us in the end, let's observe first, and act when the opportunity arises. ”

Lu Heng nodded when he heard this, and said a little helplessly: "I just got out of the wolf's den and entered the tiger's mouth, so it was easy to not have an accident in the desert, but I met these people again." ”

Qin Yining smiled with confidence: "It's nothing, as long as there is life, there is hope for everything." Now we don't lack food or water, at least we don't have to be afraid that we will be buried alive after a sandstorm, but it's just a battle of wits with people, you and I are familiar with the road, what are you afraid of? ”

Although she was seriously ill, she was still a little weak when she spoke, as if her breath was not enough, and even her complexion was not as good as when they first met - now she was too thin, her cheeks were thin and the slap was big, and she was still weak and pale, giving people a sense of weakness. But her eyes never changed, and they were as bright and full of confidence as before.

This person is like a luminous body, shining all over her body, and people are full of hope for the future when they see her.

Lu Heng couldn't help but smile, "You're right. The matter of fighting wit, as long as you calm down and think about it thoroughly. ”

Qin Yining also nodded with a smile and patted Lu Heng's shoulder: "Thank you." ”

She always wanted to say to Lu Heng, thank him for saving his life, thank him for his company, thank him for never giving up on her, and still didn't leave her when she was sick.

Lu Heng immediately understood what Qin Yining meant, and couldn't help laughing, "Thank you, when I was sick, you didn't give up on me, and took care of me meticulously, after I was kidnapped, I heard Uncle Arhan say that it was because you insisted on tracking me that you rescued me, as far as I am concerned, I also want to thank you." But it's not interesting to thank you so much. We are partners, and we are one family with the people of the Mino tribe, so why do we need to do this. ”

Uncle Arhan, who was listening from the sidelines, nodded repeatedly, "Yes." We are a family, no thanks. ”

Qin Yining's eyebrows and eyes curled with a smile, and he nodded: "Okay, I won't say that in the future." There is no other place between partners. ”

Lu Heng also smiled and nodded.

He was now extremely glad that he didn't fight.

It is precisely because he hid his feelings very well, did not let others find out, let alone show in front of Qin Yining, and did not cause any pressure on her, that he was able to stand by her side as a friend and partner.

Maybe that's enough.

Since Qin Yining only has a cowardly in his heart, if he asks forcibly, not only will he not be able to ask for anything, but it will hurt the friendship between him and Qin Yining.

This unobtainable affection might as well be buried deep in my heart and kept as a memorial of his solitude.

Although he still can't see it completely now, he still feels sorry when he thinks that Qin Yining will not belong to him in the end.

But if he can stand by her side as a friend for the rest of his life at the cost of silence, such an exchange is already the best result for him.

Thinking of this, Lu Heng couldn't help but laugh at himself.

In the final analysis, he is just a businessman, and everything he does is focused on maximizing profits. If you change your temperament, or if your feelings are more intense, you can do something that would rather be broken than complete, which can be regarded as pride. But he was only calculating the gains and losses.

Just then, there was a sound of voice outside.

For Lu Heng, those people have a southern accent, and he can't tell the difference if he speaks faster, not to mention Uncle Alhan, who is only rough in Da Zhou's dialect.

However, Qin Yining's words were very similar to Dayan's words, and there was no obstacle to listening.

"It's the King of Yuzuki who came with someone." Qin Yining said in a low voice, and sat down busily on the side, while the rest of the people also chose their own positions to do a good job, putting on a gossip posture.

Qin Yining really asked about the customs outside: "...... What's the scenery like? Is it winter or summer in this oasis? How do I feel that it's colder here than outside? ”

Xu heard Qin Yining's words, Zhou Meng's voice came from far and near, and there was a smile in his voice: "Don't hide it from the girl, the sunset moon here is much colder than outside, and the wind is much stronger, but thanks to the sunset lake in the oasis, it not only feeds the people of the entire oasis, but also waters the trees and flowers of the entire oasis, so the dust of the sunset moon is not too big." ”

It seems that the entire Xiyue Clan has directly regarded this oasis as their own territory after coming here.

Qin Yining stood up and said, "It's so warm in the palace, I see that my guards are dressed very thickly." ”

Zhou Meng laughed: "That's because when this palace was built, warm walls and warm kang were used, and the girl was still sick, so naturally she had to choose the warmest palace for you to live in." ”

Qin Yining nodded and said, "Thank you so much, the king of the county." ”

Zhou Meng put his hands behind his back, staring at Qin Yining with blazing eyes, and after seeing her meet her own person, her complexion looked much better, and she couldn't help but laugh.

It seems that to make the beauty happy still has to act according to her heart. The beauty is in a good mood, and the smile is also beautiful, and he is even happier when he looks at it.

Such a soft and weak woman was born so beautiful, so what's the harm in pampering more?

Zhou Meng made up his mind, hurriedly leaned closer with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "This king arranged for your guards to come to see you every day, do you like it?" ”

Qin Yining went to serve him tea at the right time, and sideways avoided Zhou Meng's approach.

Zhou Meng watched her bring a bowl of tea to herself, smiled even more proudly, and took a sip.

The tea, which I usually feel tasteless, seems to be full of sweetness.

"Good tea!"

Qin Yining observed the words and saw that Zhou Meng was in a better mood, so he said softly: "The county king, the little woman left her hometown, and she is not familiar with the place here, she really misses her hometown, the county king has a kind intention, and allows my clansmen to come to see me every day, I am naturally happy, but I don't know others in this palace, and it is not easy to call." I wonder if the king of the county can let them stay here? I see that there are a lot of side halls here, and it is not a matter of effort to accommodate them, and I will also restrain them from wandering around your palace. ”

Zhou Meng narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and slowly put down the tea bowl.

"What Miss Xiao likes, this king shouldn't have refused. However, the king's palace is inhabited by the king's concubines and concubines, as well as the king's children. If outsiders are arranged, it is very inconvenient. ”

Seeing that Qin Yining's eyes were full of grievances and disappointments, Zhou Meng immediately felt that what he said was a bit heavy, and immediately added: "In this way, this king allows them to come to see you once a day, and they can stay for two hours at a time, and they can also arrange for someone to accompany you out for a walk, what do you think?" By the way, the king's daughters and concubines worship the goddess very much, and their temperament is also very gentle, and the king will let them accompany you, and you will not feel lonely. ”

Qin Yining pursed his lips and said: "Okay, please don't break your promise, and my cousin, the county king also cares about me, so don't lock him up." ”

The beauty frowned, pouting her lips was really pitiful, Zhou Meng simply wanted to get the most cherished fruits, the best clothes to make her happy, she gave everything she wanted, this request was not too much, anyway, after she entered the door, this cousin was considered a relative.

Thinking of this, Zhou Meng pretended to be generous and said, "Although Brother Ling's words are too unruly and he collides with this king, but the girl pleads for him, and this king will look at your face and don't care about him." Let him live with your people. ”

Qin Yining smiled a little at this time, and said, "Thank you, King Jun." ”
