When Siqin gave such an order, he already guessed in his heart that the people of the Mino Department had already made preparations, and they would be in vain if they went. It's just that I didn't expect that the Minobu was stationed outside the city, and the building was empty. Not even a figure remained.

The people who returned to Siqin nervously observed Khan's expression, for fear that Siqin would kill him in a fit of rage. Anari Khan used to be a violent temper, and it was common to cut people in a fit of rage, although the new khan was benevolent and righteous, but after ascending to the high position, who could ensure that he did not change?

But Siqin dispelled his worries in the next moment, and he was really as rumored by the outside world, although he was angry because of the betrayal of the Mino, he did not implicate his subordinates, and said gently: "Hard work, everyone." ”

This really warms everyone who has been living under the violence of Ana Day for a long time. It is really touching that a high-ranking khan can speak to them so approachable.

Because of this touch, the people who searched for it were more careful. Dig three feet into the courtyard of the Mino Department in the city. Finally, underneath the broken jar, a cellar was discovered.

Everyone was so strategic, they all smashed the vat that day, but they didn't expect to check it carefully, if they could be more careful that day, maybe they would be able to catch the two murderers!

Everyone in the Mino Department is gone.

After confirming this news, Siqin ordered the withdrawal of the search team in the city, saying, "There is no need to look for them in the city, they must have fled with the people of the Mino." Such a large team, it is impossible to disappear for no reason, there are not many young and middle-aged people in them, and the remaining group of old and weak women and children, it is not easy to act, and in such a cold weather, they have to migrate more than 4,000 people, and they will definitely leave traces of life, pay attention to trace these traces, and don't let go of any clues! ”

Because of the Khan's failure to hold him accountable, these hot-blooded men became more and more moved and guilty, feeling that because of their own mistakes, the murderer of Anari Khan escaped, and the Khan did not blame, if they were not serious, they would be sorry for their conscience.

Just as Siqin's people were intensively tracking down the whereabouts of the people of the Mino Tribe, Qin Yining, Lu Heng and the Halbara brothers were walking on the snow-covered wilderness with the people of the Mino Tribe.

Qin Yining said to Lu Heng worriedly: "With such a huge team, it is impossible to leave no traces, I just hope that they can chase slowly." ”

Lu Hengshen stepped on the snow with one shallow foot, squeaking sound under his feet, and said tiredly and breathlessly: "Siqin has just ascended to the throne, he will definitely rectify it, and we are also taking advantage of his loopholes." Once he gets angry and mobilizes his army to come out and arrest people, I'm afraid none of us will survive. I'll take a look at them tonight and I'll take care of it. It's normal to want to migrate, but it's too risky to follow us fugitives. ”

"At the end of the day, it's us who tired them." Qin Yining felt a little guilty.

Lu Heng said: "They are also oppressed by Anari to the point that they really can't stand it." Even without us, they would have to migrate. ”

"That being said, migrating with the two of us increases their danger. Now Siqin may send troops to chase after them, but if they go alone, the pursuers should not have to chase a group of old and weak women and children. ”

"That's right." When Lu Heng heard this, he also felt that Qin Yining's analysis was very reasonable, and immediately went to communicate with Harbara and Chaganbala.

After saying all of Qin Yining's analysis, he said, "I'm mainly worried that they will be tired by us." If they had parted ways before entering the desert, we would have abandoned them long ago as long as they had told their pursuers, believing that Siqin's new ascension to the throne would not harm their lives for the sake of their own reputation as a Maven.

"But if they are with us, all the way through the desert, at least half of them will be lost, after all, they are all already weak, how many of them can persist in getting out of the desert? Also, with so many people walking together, eating and living, and the goal has also increased, it is very likely that they will be caught up, and then the entire army of the Mino Department will be wiped out. ”

In fact, when Qin Yining and Lu Heng talked about this matter, Harbara and Chaganbala were also discussing the matter in a low voice.

At first, they were rushing to leave Dadu for the purpose, and they had enough strength to take their clansmen away, so as not to be oppressed by the Tatar royal family anymore.

However, among the more than 4,000 people, most of them are old and weak, women and children, and only a small number of men, some of whom have been disabled in the past.

Such a team, when there is a shortage of mounts in the Mino Department and a lack of resources, the speed of travel is fast and slow, and the physical fitness of individuals is also different, and those who go fast have to wait for those who walk slowly, and even so, the old and weak gradually have a tendency to fall behind.

If you bring them all, I'm afraid it won't be long before Siqin's people can catch up.

However, if they were not taken and placed outside the desert, they would inevitably face Siqin's pursuit, and they feared that Siqin would torture them.

At this time, the sky was dark, and the wind in the wilderness at night was fierce, and the fine snow gradually turned into goose feather snow, which was carried by the cold wind and blew head-on on people's faces, as if there was a knife blowing.

Everyone shivered with the cold. Qin Yining, Lu Heng and the others are quite better, although they are not wearing silk and satin, but they are all cotton clothes, and in such a weather where the water falls into ice, they can resist it even if they grit their teeth.

But there are many women and children who have worked hard under Anari for more than a year, and they are all wearing shabby single clothes. Some people were even wearing straw sandals on their feet, and their toes and skin were red and swollen from the cold.

Under such conditions, how can you cross a desert with a huge temperature difference between day and night?

"You're right." Halbara gritted his teeth coldly, looked at the vast environment around him, and rubbed his cold red fingers, "I can't continue like this, keep going, I'm afraid that no one will be able to withstand the test of the desert, we were originally running for our lives, and if we drag it out like this, the people of the entire tribe may be dragged down." ”

Chaganbala nodded, his tongue that was already cold was about to knot, "Either we will set up camp today, let everyone have a fire to warm up, and let's calm down and think about countermeasures first." ”

In fact, at this juncture, we really shouldn't stop, we should continue to move forward.

But in today's situation, if we continue to go, I am afraid that the chasing soldiers will not be able to pursue them, and these old and weak women and children will have to lose some of them first.

If the tribesmen died like this, they felt heartache, but it was a pity.

What's more, if such a thing happens, it will be a heavy blow to everyone's hearts, and who will have the courage to resist in the future?

What a dilemma.

In order to save the lives of most of the people, everyone had to stop, set up camp, and simply set up tents with the materials they had brought.

The crowd of 4,000 was busy with all their work. Although they braved the cold and heavy snow, and were still hungry, everyone was still actively busy when they heard that they could rest.

Qin Yining, Lu Heng, Chaganbala, Harbara, as well as several other old people with status in the clan and generals who had fought in the past but had crippled their arms, all gathered in Harbara's tent.

A bonfire was lit in the middle of the ground, and there was silence around the fire.

Qin Yining didn't know Tatar, and he could only rely on Lu Heng for negotiations.

Lu Heng coughed for a while, his face turned red, and then he said, "I mean, I can't let the clansmen lose their lives in vain." Such a great migration can cause accidents if you are well prepared. What's more, there are still chasing soldiers in the future. ”

"That's what I mean, too." The uncle, who had a broken arm, said, "It's almost impossible to get all the people to rush across the desert. My suggestion is to leave some men behind to protect the old and weak women and children who cannot continue to migrate, so that they can find a nearby no-man's land and live temporarily. Waiting for good news for those of us. ”

Halbara nodded, "I agree with Uncle Arhan's words. Most of the rest of the people will cross the desert together to find a place to live on the border of the Great Zhou, and after they have settled down, we can still come and pick up the tribesmen. ”

"But in this case, will the people feel that they have been abandoned?" Chaganbala said worriedly, "Everyone is a person who survived with great difficulty, if they are abandoned by the clan like this, the people who remain will be sad, right?" ”

"But take them with you, and they will surely die." Stay, the new khan looks at the poor women and children who are everyone, and may be able to give a way to live. ”

Lu Heng looked at Qin Yining, who was silent on the side, and translated their conversations to her.

Qin Yining thought for a while and said, "Actually, the short-term indignation is not because we want to abandon everyone, those of us who plan to cross the desert are so risky in order to find a better way out for everyone. The original Minobu was so powerful and lived a self-sufficient life, but now, he is living a slave life that is inferior to pigs and dogs, and even a horse raised by Ana Ri is more expensive than a human spirit.

"If everyone stays, maybe they can survive, but what everyone wants, is it really just to survive? Don't you really care if Minobu can be revitalized? ”

Qin Yining's words, the rest of the people in the tent couldn't understand it, but Uncle Arhan, who had a broken arm, understood.

He said in Da Zhou, who was not fluent: "You are right. We can't all be slaves to the Khan forever. The Mino tribe is a large tribe. If we are completely degraded and disappear like this, then we will die without the face to see our ancestors. ”

Qin Yining nodded with a smile: "Uncle is right, people live for a breath, and it is not called alive to survive." If we give in now, then in the future our younger generations will have to live under the oppression of the Khan, one generation is a slave, and every generation is a slave. In this way, our descendants are too pitiful.

"We are fighting now for a breath of air, so that future generations can stand tall and live.

"Men, women, old men, children, a whole tribe, each of these people must be missing, and each one is the hope of the tribe. Although I suggest that the part of the body that does not allow it to be left outside the desert, there will be most of the old people, women and children in it, but this part of the people is the largest part of the force that will be able to rebuild the homeland after the Mino Department settles down in the future.

"I am sure that if you tell these words to your people, they will understand. And those of us who cross the desert in search of life are only warriors who fight for the majority of our people. ”
