Chapter 511: Deliberation
Qin Yining's tense emotions could finally be relaxed. After following the tribesmen to the camp, they found that the camp had been cleared by Uncle Arhan's people.
The most important thing is that not far from the camp, there is a small river that meanders!
Although the weather is cold and the river is frozen, people from the desert don't care about this. Everyone didn't care that it was still a battlefield here, and cheered to dig ice to get water, and some people directly chiseled a large piece of ice and put it in the small iron pot they carried with them to heat it up.
Soon, simple tents of various sizes were erected around the camp.
Qin Yining also got a tent, handed Lu Heng over to Harbara and Chaganbala to take care of, and went to dig ice by himself, borrowing an iron pot that originally existed in the barracks to boil water, intending to wash.
Because she was the hero who killed Anari, she played a commanding role in the desert these days, and the people respected her very much, because when they saw her boiling water, everyone came to help her regardless of their fatigue, and brought her the firewood and grass that were originally stored in the barracks.
Qin Yining walked in the desert for half a month, and finally took a thorough hot bath and thoroughly washed the dirty clothes.
By the time everything was processed, Qin Yining's hair was already half-dry. She carefully dried her hair with a hand towel, simply tied her hair in a bun, put on her hat and got out of her tent, came to Lu Heng's tent, and asked softly:
"Is Second Master Lu resting?"
The curtain of the tent was quickly lifted, and a warm and humid air rushed out.
Halbara poked his head out, nodded at Qin Yining with a smile, and said in a broken Da Zhou dialect: "You are here." ”
Qin Yining smiled and nodded.
Seeing that Halbala turned sideways and gave way to his position, Qin Yining swooped into the tent.
There was also a wooden basin in the tent, and the scrubbing water had not yet had time to be emptied. The three men were already fully dressed.
Lu Heng changed into clean clothes, leaned on the bed made of hay and planks with his eyes slightly down, his wet hair hanging down on his shoulders, dripping with water.
Qin Yining frowned, and hurriedly took a handkerchief to help him up: "Your body is not well, why don't you pay attention like this?" If your hair is wet, lie down, not afraid that the disease will be more serious? ”
She hesitated, but began to wipe his hair anyway.
Lu Heng's heart pounded.
In fact, he cleaned himself just now, and he really had no strength in his illness, and after putting on his clothes, he didn't even have the strength to raise his arms, so he thought about resting for a while and wiping his hair again.
I didn't expect Qin Yining to be willing to do it for him!
"Thank you." Lu Heng's hoarse voice couldn't say anything superfluous, and his voice was also very weak.
"You're welcome. We finally managed to get out of the desert and see that the situation was better. If you don't pay attention to your body, no matter how serious your illness is, won't it be too unworthy? ”
Qin Yining changed a dry cloth and carefully wiped his hair again, and when his hair was already half dry, he took off his hat, took off a tassel silver comb pinned to the side of his bun, and first smoothed his hair with his fingers, and then carefully combed it up one by one.
The comb slid gently over the scalp, Lu Heng closed his eyes, feeling her gentle force, even the scalp and back were numb, and even the eyelids began to become heavy.
That's nice. She can care about him, even if she clearly knows in her heart that Qin Yining does not have the slightest affection for him, Lu Heng is still full of satisfaction.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. We can even conquer the desert twice, so we can see that our fate is hard. Lu Heng said softly.
Qin Yining took care of his hair, took a hairband and tied his hair into a bun, pinned the silver comb to the side of the bun again, and put on a hat.
"yes, we're all going to be fine. When I have the conditions, I will get some good things to make up for you. If only the rock candy was here, with her, your illness will definitely be cured soon. ”
Thinking of the situation that day, he didn't know if Bingtang and Jiyun were still alive, and the smile on Qin Yining's face faded.
Lu Heng could see what she was thinking at a glance, and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, the prince loves you so much, when something happens that day, he will definitely not sit idly by, and will definitely rush over to save people immediately, your subordinates are not simple people, they will be fine." ”
Qin Yining thought of Xiao Xiao's temperament, his heart was very warm, and he nodded with a smile: "What you said is true." It's going to be fine. We'll all be fine. ”
Helping him lie down and wrapping the cotton jacket around him as a quilt, Qin Yining said, "You have a good rest, and tomorrow you will discuss what to do next." I don't know Tatar, and Uncle Arhan can only understand the simple Da Zhou dialect, so it's easier to communicate with you. ”
Lu Heng chuckled, his eyebrows and eyes were warm, "Okay, I'll get better as soon as possible." It's been a hard time for you these days. ”
Qin Yining shook his head with a smile: "It's nothing, as long as everyone can live safely, everything is not a big deal." ”
"Yes, no matter how big it is, it's bigger than life and death. Princess, you are an excellent woman. ”
Qin Yining blushed from praise and said with a smile: "If I were good, I wouldn't be tired of so many people." It's okay, you go to sleep. ”
Lu Heng looked at her pretty face that had lost a lot of weight under the wind and sand these days, and couldn't help but feel distressed. But he couldn't show this distress yet.
Listening to her tone, it turns out that she still cares about those dead Mino tribesmen?
When he was taking a bath just now, Lu Heng had already heard from Harbara and Chaganbala that more than 200 clansmen had died in the chasing soldiers today. Moreover, several people were killed and a few others were seriously injured in taking this camp, and I am afraid that they will not be able to save them.
Lu Heng's heart is not without waves. It's just that he also understands that when he has just crossed the desert and is thirsty and hungry, the tribesmen of the Mino tribe can defeat the guards and horses arranged by Siqin, which is already an extremely considerable victory.
After all, these people are cavalrymen, and they are all professionally trained military men.
And these people in the Mino Department are not professional soldiers, they used to be ordinary herdsmen, and there are even dozens of women among them.
The Mino tribe is really an excellent and strong tribe. It is no wonder that it was able to develop so strong in the past, and to become a large tribe of more than 40,000 people.
The reason why Anari persecuted the Minobu like that was probably because the Minobu was too powerful and had already made her feel threatened.
Lu Heng wanted to comfort Qin Yining, but he was too tired at this time. His eyelids were heavy as if they had been filled with lead, and even his mind, which had always been flexible, was now dulled.
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he finally said, "I don't blame you." "In the blink of an eye, it was already asleep.
Qin Yining saw that he was asleep, and tested the temperature of his forehead with his hand, seeing that he still had a low-grade fever, he couldn't help but be a little worried, and kept Lu Heng until midnight, before going back to his tent to rest.
The next day, Uncle Arhan took the captains of each team in the team to the middle tent and discussed countermeasures with Qin Yining, Chaganbala, Harbara and Lu Heng, who was wearing a ball.
Lu Heng got up early and ate a bowl of boiled soft and sticky porridge, and ate the last remaining medicine, and his spirit was much better.
Qin Yining saw that he really came, and said with a smile: "You are really a trustworthy friend, and you really promised me that I would not fall asleep, so I would not fall asleep." ”
Lu Heng smiled: "I slept enough yesterday. ”
Uncle Arhan patted Lu Heng's shoulder with a smile and said in Tatar language, "Brother Lu, it seems that your body is really much better." It's not in vain that the princess takes care of you so much along the way. If you have three long and two short, I think the princess is also going to be seriously ill. ”
Uncle Arhan was a rough man, and he didn't realize that there was anything wrong with his words, but he just told the truth.
However, many of the young people present admired Qin Yining, and many of them saw that Lu Heng was happy with Qin Yining, and they couldn't help but look at the two of them.
Lu Heng's heart was pounding, like a rabbit in his arms, and his face was a little red, "Uncle Arhan, don't talk nonsense." ”
Al Khan looked at Qin Yining, thought about her identity, and then looked at Lu Heng's red face, couldn't help sighing, patted him on the shoulder again, everything was silent.
Qin Yining couldn't understand what they said, she had learned some Tatar these days, but she could only understand simple words, if they were connected, and the speed at which they spoke was too fast, she still didn't know what they said at all.
Qin Yining saw Lu Heng's face flush, and said worriedly, "Are you uncomfortable?" "Habitually test the temperature of his forehead.
Lu Heng smiled and said, "It's okay." "It's bitter and sweet in my heart, it's almost contradictory.
He turned to the crowd in Tatar and said, "This time you can protect your people from the desert. Everyone is a hero. I have known for a long time that the Tatars are a strong and unstoppable people, and now it seems that the rumors are true and admirable. Our Minoan tribesmen are the best of the Tatars, and I was really touched and shocked to follow them all along this way. ”
Uncle Arhan's heart was surging when he heard this.
The rest of the people also had happy and proud looks on their faces.
They are all hot-blooded men, they all have a tenacious and unyielding heart, they can persist in surviving all kinds of hardships, and they can get praise from foreigners, they don't know that their surging emotions are actually called a sense of national honor.
Although Qin Yining didn't know what Lu Heng said, looking at everyone's expressions, he also knew that Lu Heng's words had reached everyone's hearts. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart about Lu Heng's ability.
He is really a very talented leader, with that ability to convince people, and it is no wonder that he was able to leave the family's protection at a young age and start from scratch, and only tell everyone that he is a member of the Lu family when he has developed to a height that no one can reach outside.
Lu Heng continued: "Although we have won, I know that those people in Siqin will definitely go back and forth between these garrisons from time to time. We can't stay here for long, we should pack up and leave today. Because we don't know when the last contact between the stations was. In case you meet someone you contact and expose it, it will cause unnecessary trouble. ”
