Chapter 553: The Way Home
After the three of them agreed, they returned to the camp.
At this time, the brothers Chaganbala and Harbara had already worshiped Liao Zhibing. On the side, he brought Uncle Arhan who acted as a translator, and several of them went together to learn how to raise tracking Gu and how to control it.
In the following days, everyone was in full swing to prepare, on the one hand, the tribesmen of the Mino tribe were preparing for how to settle in Xiyue, and Brother Chaganbala was learning to use the tracking Gu, and it was Lu Heng who took full authority to negotiate with the officials stationed in the Mino.
However, because Xiao Xiao has become the king of the sunset moon chosen by the gods, and the goddess has become the princess of the king of the sunset moon, several officials in the court are now very obedient to the new county king.
It was Lu Heng who negotiated with the officials under Xiao Xiao, and things went very smoothly.
He did not get angry with them as these people feared, but summoned all the officials to the front and announced in public that they would not be harsh.
"The mistakes made by the people of the Zhou clan make no reason for others to follow and bear the blame. Both the woman and the child are innocent. They are also the people of the setting moon, and they should not be affected. ”
As soon as this remark came out, it was unanimously recognized by the officials, and most of the officials were very relieved.
- The new king and princess of the sunset moon can even let Zhou Meng's wives and concubines and children go, let alone attack their innocent courtiers.
After Yuzuki and Minobu have divided their places of residence and decided to go their separate ways and live in peace, Xiao Xiao will focus on choosing the next person to govern from among the officials of Yuyue.
In the end, he chose an official named Li Ru.
Li Ru is thirty-four years old Chinese New Year's Eve, and his ancestors migrated here with Xiyue. His father and grandfather both held important official positions in the Xiyue Dynasty, and his ancestors were also officials in the state capital during the Northern Ji Kingdom.
Li Ru was smart and capable, but he was loyal and benevolent, and after testing him, he felt that this person was quite suitable, so he called him to the palace for a secret talk.
What was specifically discussed, Qin Yining was not present, so naturally he did not know.
However, when Li Ru left the palace, his eyes were shining, as if he was full of hope for the future.
Qin Yining smiled and brought a cup of tea to Xiao Xiao and asked, "What did you say to him?" How can people be so excited? ”
Xiao Xiao smiled and said: "I just taught him to deal with the matter of acting for the government, and by the way, I told him about the current situation outside, and also told him my true identity." ”
Qin Yining said in surprise: "Does he know who you are?" Wouldn't he also know that you are not some God's chosen king of the sunset? So how could he still be so excited? ”
Xiao Xiao smiled and said: "Although the people of Xiyue believe in the Xiyue Sect, there is no harm in using their brains in some things, Li Ru is a person who understands, anyway, during the previous reign of Zhou Meng, the people of Xiyue did not have a good time, and the royal family just used a legend in the Xiyue Holy Book to give the people a hope, just like drawing a big pie to make people hungry, and the people's patience will reach the limit sooner or later."
"The reason why the people of Xiyue believe in the legend of the goddess so much is because the food problem of Xiyue is no longer optimistic. Now I have a strong background, and I promise to help them get out of the desert at any time, and I can let the people of Xiyue have food, and I can also trade with Da Zhou in the future, so that the people of Xiyue will no longer have to be trapped here like a prison, they can leave at any time if they want to, so many benefits, of course Li Ru will be excited. ”
Qin Yining nodded with a smile and leaned on Xiao Xiao's shoulder: "Actually, I really like this place, if only our family could come and settle here." We can live our own small life with peace of mind, and we no longer have to think about the disturbances outside, even if there is no brocade clothes and food, delicate and extravagant children, we will be very happy if we are ordinary. ”
Xiao Xiao's long arm put his arm around her shoulder, pressed her in his arms, and kissed her forehead, his eyes became extremely determined.
"There will be a day like this. When the time comes, no one will threaten our lives and the lives of our families, and we will be able to live an ordinary life, and we will not think about anything, just think about how to hold each other for three years. ”
When Qin Yining heard this, his face turned red.
Although she and Xiao Xiao got married, they were together for a total of only a month after marriage, and they have been displaced since then, and the days of disaster relief are even more laborious and haggard.
When this son was said by the owl, Qin Yining was ashamed to get into the crack in the ground, slapped him on the shoulder, and said, "It's not serious." ”
"Why is it not serious?" Xiao Xiao fell in love with the delicate appearance of her Xia Fei's cheeks, pinched her chin and stole incense, and said vaguely: "I think this is a big deal." ”
Qin Yining wanted to refute, but the words were swallowed in his stomach in the end. can only paralyze his body in his arms, and let him do whatever he wants.

After half a month of rectification in the setting moon, everything is ready.
The brothers Chaganbala and Halbara also successfully learned how to use the tracking Gu, and the two brothers also decided that in the future, they would use the tracking Gu as a inheritance, so that each generation could learn how to use it, and if they wanted to live in this oasis all the time in the future, tracking Gu was simply the best weapon to enter and exit the setting moon.
Early that morning, more than a dozen Xiyue officials led by Li Ru and the Mino tribesmen led by the Chaganbala brothers sent Qin Yining and his party to the edge of the oasis.
Uncle Arhan's eyes were a little moist, he looked at Qin Yining and Lu Heng, and said sadly: "If you have any difficulties outside in the future, come back." The Minobu will always have your back. ”
Halbara and Chaganbala also nodded and said in Tatar, "You will always be the patriarch of the Mino tribe!" ”
Xiao Xiao told Qin Yining the words of the Harbara brothers, and Qin Yining looked at the clansmen who had been born and died together and never gave up, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"Everyone has to take care. Even if we are on different sides of the heavens, our hearts are concerned about each other, then we are still equal to no difference. ”
Uncle Arhan pursed his lips, his eyes were full of tears, he pounded his chest hard, and nodded heavily.
On the other hand, although the officials of Xiyue did not have such deep feelings, after Li Ru negotiated with Xiao Xiao, they now regarded Xiao Xiao as the hope of Xi Yue, and they also solemnly saluted Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining at this time.
"The prince and the princess will return as soon as possible."
Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded, patted Li Ru on the shoulder, and said, "A successful ruler will never be in a hurry to exclude dissidents and expel alien races, but will achieve the best balance between multiple factions and nations. This is the so-called art of checks and balances. Master Li is a smart man, I hope you can remember the words of this king. ”
Li Ru was like an initiation for a while, and he couldn't help but look back at the Mino tribesmen who were saying goodbye to Lu Heng and Qin Yining, and he was still a little shaken, but he was firm at this time.
"Don't worry, I understand what you mean, this land may be invaded by wind and sand, but it will not be split in two in the middle. What the people of Yugetsu need most is not war, but stable development. I will not do anything that is not good for the people. ”
Seeing that he was thorough at all, and promised not to use troops against the Minobu after he left, he smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Take care." ”
"Take care of the prince and princess." Li Ru led the officials to salute again.
Qin Yining wrapped his turban around him, waved his hand at the tribesmen of the Mino Tribe, and left Xiyue with Lu Heng, Cao Yuqing, Liao Zhibing, and Jinghuwei who followed Xiao Xiao, and gradually walked into the desert.
Uncle Arhan and his entourage watched their figures gradually turn into a small black dot, and then reluctantly turned back.
The brothers Chaganbala and Harbara had red eyes.
Uncle Alhan also had a sour nose.
In the end, they were born and died together, and this friendship can be different from ordinary feelings.
"Okay, let's not be sad, think about it, how to use the tracking Gu to take over the rest of our clansmen and children is the right thing!"
With the blue sky and white clouds in front of them, the free air, and the stable environment, the Minobu can finally break out of the encirclement of the Tatar royal family, no longer oppressed and enslaved, and continue to multiply here, everything in the future seems to be full of hope, and Halbara and Chaganbala also cheered up and laughed heartily.

Although Qin Yining and Xiao Xiao and their entourage had several twists and turns on the way out of the desert, because of sufficient preparations and Liao Zhibing's guide, everything in the desert went very smoothly.
Seven days later, they had made their nearest journey, and at last they had left the desert and came to a remote wilderness in Tatar territory.
It was the middle of winter, and the snow covered the wilderness and distant mountains, so the group chose a leeward hillside to camp and discuss the next trip.
Qin Yining said: "I think that in a few days forward, I will approach the border between Great Zhou and Tatar. At that time, it is better for us to go separately from Lu Gongzi. The goal in one place is too big, and it is convenient for Lu Gongzi to do what he wants to do secretly to enter the country. ”
Lu Heng also nodded: "That's right." ”
Qin Yining looked at Cao Yuqing with a smile, "Aunt Cao, did you agree to what I discussed with you last time?" ”
Cao Yuqing couldn't help pinching Qin Yining's cheek, "You little girl, with your husband, I'm redundant?" ”
"Where." Qin Yining blushed at what Cao Yuqing said, and coughed before saying: "Aunt Cao's ability is great, and she is the most proficient in makeup, latent and other techniques, it is easy for you to dress up Lu Gongzi to enter the country." ”
Cao Yuqing pretended to be helpless and said: "Okay, okay, who asked you to call me aunt." And I promised you. Leave the matter of escorting Second Master Lu into Beijing to me. ”
Qin Yining smiled and hugged Cao Yuqing's arm and shook it: "Thank you, Aunt Cao." ”
Cao Yuqing liked Qin Yining from the bottom of her heart, smiled and flicked her fingers lightly on her forehead.
Lu Heng stood up and saluted Cao Yuqing gratefully: "Thank you Cao Guard." ”
