Chapter 539: Marriage Proposal (2)
Qin Yining nodded, and did not answer immediately, but said: "First ask the clansmen to arrange for the two of them to go down to rest, Biyu is injured, ask someone to cook some porridge for her, so that she can take care of her." ”
Lu Heng had a number in his heart, and called two female clansmen to come and send Biyu and Xinyu to rest.
There were no outsiders around, so Lu Heng said, "Are you worried that they are spies?" ”
Qin Yining said with a smile: "Although I am not familiar with it, but after all, Jasper is because I was injured, so I can take care of it more, but it is indispensable to guard against people, the grain and grass in our hands are too dazzling here." I'm worried that once the king of Yuzuki is in a hurry, if the two sides make a move, it will cause unnecessary losses. ”
"That's what you said." Lu Heng accompanied Qin Yining to walk around the camp and check the surrounding environment by the way.
Qin Yining clasped her hands, and the cold night wind rushed towards her, making her squint slightly, and said in a low voice: "We have to be fully prepared, that Xiyue County King is not a person who is very deep in the city, this kind of person can often do even more unexpected and ridiculous things." ”
"What you said, it is precisely because his thoughts are incalculable with our reason that we should be more vigilant." Lu Heng said: "Now that I have been repairing in the oasis for a while, the physical condition of the clansmen is much better. The Mino tribe was originally a warlike tribe, and there were many skilled archers and horses, and after the previous persecution of Anari, they all held back a force in their hearts, even if they were women, they all had a fierce spirit that was not afraid of death. Compared with those diseases on the oasis who have never seen blood, we are still not inferior in numbers and combat effectiveness. ”
"But as long as there is a fight, there will be casualties on both sides. I'm not afraid of fighting, but I also don't want to cause unnecessary casualties. Human life is only once, and we cannot ignore the life and death of others because of our own decisions. In the past, when he was at home, Xiao Zhixi often said that no one is born lowly, and no one's life is born much more noble than others, so when he wins, it is his duty to fight and soldiers to die, but because of the war, civilians are involved, that is to lose his conscience. Most of the people who are following us today are not soldiers, and I don't want them to lose their lives because of following us. ”
Hearing the pride and gentleness in Qin Yining's tone when he mentioned Xiao Xiao, Lu Heng's heart couldn't help but feel a faint bitterness. It's just that now that he has seen it, he didn't deliberately capture his loss and sourness at this moment, but analyzed the meaning of Qin Yining's words, and his understanding of Xiao Xiao was also deeper.
"I didn't expect the prince to be such a benevolent person. The rumors out there don't seem to be true. ”
Qin Yining smiled: "Of course, you can't believe all the rumors. There used to be people who would tell me that I was terrible. ”
Lu Heng couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "As long as people act without being worthy of their hearts, they can't take care of the rest." ”
"yes. Especially where we are now. Qin Yining looked up at the sky, there was not a single star in the sky tonight, as if all the light was covered by the pitch-black curtain, obviously the dark clouds were low, as if a heavy snow was coming.
Lu Heng also followed her and looked up, and said for a while: "I have secretly arranged for the clansmen to carry some of the food with them, and prepare enough water at all times." In the event of an accident, we fled with as much food and horses as possible, and if we could not bring our baggage, we would not be temporarily without food if we rode away. ”
"Hmm. I think so too, but luckily with you in charge, it's already arranged. Qin Yining stopped and smiled: "But don't worry, I won't allow this to happen." ”
Of course, Lu Heng knew Qin Yining's stubborn temperament.
Once she decides that something is her responsibility, she will grit her teeth and persevere.
But Minobe wasn't her responsibility in the first place, and he didn't want her to put on so much pressure.
"Well, let's get some rest tonight." Qin Yining said with a smile: "Back here, surrounded by the tribesmen of the Mino Tribe, I can also sleep a little more soundly." ”
Knowing that she was still sick, she tossed again in the palace today, and she must have been tired at this time, Lu Heng nodded with a smile and said, "Let's go, I'll send you back to the room." ”
Lu Heng gave up his warm adobe house to Qin Yining to live in, while he went to live in one room with Brothers Halbara and Chaganbara. The rest of the tribesmen set up tents on the spot, and took turns keeping vigil as they did on countless nights when they were on the run, not daring to let up in the slightest.
Qin Yining fell asleep with peace of mind.
Xu is body is still very weak, this time Qin Yining is very heavy, and the clansmen also know her physical condition, and no one came to call her up, so she rested.
However, just after noon, the clansmen standing guard on the periphery came to report to Uncle Arhan: "There are a bunch of people outside, and the leader is the king of the county who sent the patriarch back yesterday." ”
Uncle Arhan was shocked when he heard this, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly called Lu Heng.
Lu Heng pondered for a moment, then greeted him without hesitation, and when he saw a man standing with his hands in a black cotton shirt, he stopped and arched his hand: "It turned out to be the king of the county, I missed the welcome, I hope I ask for forgiveness." ”
Zhou Meng arrogantly raised his chin to signal Lu Heng to be exempt, and then said, "This king is here, why didn't the girl come out to greet him?" ”
Lu Heng secretly took a bite of this person in his heart, shameless, the toad wanted to eat swan meat, but he still smiled elegantly on his face: "My sister's body has not healed, and she was frightened yesterday, which caused her condition to worsen, and she had a fever yesterday, and she has been asleep today and has never gotten up, and I ask the king of the county to be more considerate." ”
The meaning of his words is already very clear: If it weren't for the tigress in your palace, Qin Yining would not have aggravated his condition, and he would still have the face to find someone?
Sure enough, Zhou Meng's arrogant expression on his face froze, and he said embarrassedly and worriedly: "Then she's okay, right?" Did you call the Imperial Doctor? ”
"Thank you, King Jun, I've asked the Imperial Doctor to see it. If the king of the county has any orders, please let me know, and I will convey them on my behalf. ”
Zhou Meng couldn't help frowning when he heard this, if Lu Heng had been using this as an excuse, wouldn't he not be able to see a beauty in the future?
Zhou Meng didn't distinguish with Lu Heng in person, and only said: "This king's youngest daughter was born, and there is going to be a banquet tonight, and this king has specially invited Miss Xiao to participate." ”
"I'm afraid it's not very convenient. The birth of the daughter is a great joy, the sister is seriously ill, if you go, I am afraid there will be a collision. ”
Zhou Meng squinted dangerously at Lu Heng and said mockingly: "Really? But this king doesn't think so, Miss Xiao is a goddess who brings food, a goddess of the Xiyue Sect that we admire, and the goddess comes to the banquet to bring blessings to my children, isn't it? Lu Gongzi is so arbitrarily obstructed, I'm afraid he doesn't trust this king, right? ”
This man is quite self-aware! Isn't it just distrustful!
Lu Heng suppressed the slander in his heart, and said with a light smile: "What did the county king say, the county king asked for a miracle doctor for his sister, I am grateful, how can I not trust the county king." ”
"Humph! This king is too lazy to tell you that this is useless! Zhou Meng said threateningly: "Please prepare Miss Xiao tonight, otherwise this king will not mind sending troops to pick up people in person." With that, he left with a group of guards.
Harbara and Chaganbala couldn't understand what Zhou Meng said, but they were already dissatisfied when they saw his domineering appearance.
Uncle Arhan pulled Lu Heng and said, "What should I do?" To go or not to go? ”
"Naturally, I want to check it out." Qin Yining's voice came from behind them.
Everyone hurriedly turned around, and saw that Qin Yining was already dressed neatly, but his hair was still loose and simple, but his complexion was already much better.
Lu Heng said: "There is no good wine banquet, there is no good banquet, I am only afraid that his drunkard does not mean to drink." ”
"I know." Although Qin Yining didn't hear what Lu Heng and Zhou Meng said just now, he knew in his heart what Zhou Meng wanted, "How long can you escape if you only escape?" It's better to see what he wants to do, we are prepared and we can deal with it positively. Everybody's got their spirits up. ”
Emotionally, although he didn't want Qin Yining to take risks, intellectually, Lu Heng knew that what Qin Yining said was not wrong.
Now that the people of the Minobu regard both of them as patriarchs, they can't ignore them now because they were willing to do whatever it took to rescue them both from Dadu and escape from Siqin's pursuit.
Lu Heng couldn't help but sigh again.
Qin Yining took the medicine to rest for a while, and after discussing with Lu Heng, Uncle Arhan, and Brother Halbara, the sky became a little dark.
While they were talking in Uncle Arhan's tent, there was a sudden murmur of footsteps like the tide outside.
As soon as Qin Yining was about to send someone to inquire about the situation, the clansmen who were in charge of guarding outside rushed in in a panic and said anxiously: "It's not good, it's not good." There were many, many people outside, and our camp was surrounded! ”
Lu Heng's face changed when he heard this, and he translated the words to Qin Yining.
Qin Yining's face was also a little heavy, she got up and said, "I'll go out and have a look." ”
"Don't go, it's too dangerous, I'll go." Lu Heng stopped Qin Yining.
Qin Yining said, "Let's go together." ”
Lu Heng looked at Qin Yining fixedly for a moment, and then nodded helplessly: "Okay, let's go together." ”
It snowed lightly tonight, but their camp was brightly lit in the darkness of the night. The young soldiers who surrounded the camp all looked solemn and waited for battle.
Seeing Qin Yining and his party coming out, the soldiers got out of the way, and Zhou Meng walked out with his hands in his hands, and said, "Let's go, the dinner is about to start, and the king is worried that Miss Xiao won't recognize the way, so he came to pick up people." ”
Qin Yining looked left and right, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Take me to the dinner, as for such a big show?" ”
"What's so bad about having a big show?" Zhou Meng's voice fell, and he waved his hand back.
Seeing his hint, the general next to him immediately drew his knife and raised it, and the blade flashed in the light. The rest of the soldiers, armed with clubs and swords, showed their weapons and waited for them one by one.
Qin Yining said in a deep voice: "This pomp, the little woman can't stand it. ”
