Chapter 496: Turning Point (1)
Lu Heng vigilantly pulled Qin Yining down behind him.
Mu Jinghu protected the two of them, observing the figures on the ground, listening to each other's footsteps and talking, and silently calculating how big his chances of winning with one enemy could be.
Qin Yining couldn't help but hold her breath, her eyes widened, and her heartbeat accelerated rapidly, as if she was about to come out of her mouth.
As the footsteps approached, the orange light on the torch that could be seen from the alley became brighter and brighter, and Qin Yining's hand holding the burden gradually turned white with nervousness.
Just as the pursuers were about to walk to the entrance of the alley, when Mu Jinghu was ready to meet the excitement, a wooden gate beside them was suddenly gently pushed open, and a thin young man waved anxiously at them, and said in Tatar in a breathy voice: "Quick, come in!" ”
The three of them hurried over.
At the same time, the pursuers also turned around, holding torches and looking around.
I didn't care when I passed by a few inconspicuous fence gates. Because almost everyone has just entered the house through the main entrance of each house to search, there is no need to enter the side door again.
After reaching the end and discovering that it was a dead end, the pursuers determined that no one could be hidden here, so they continued to pursue it elsewhere.
Qin Yining, Lu Heng, and Mu Jinghu quietly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and saluted and thanked the little boy who had just let them in.
Lu Heng said in Tatar language: "Thank you little brother, if it weren't for your help, I'm afraid we would have all been killed." Don't worry, we'll never stay for long, and we'll leave when those people are far away, and we won't cause trouble for your family. ”
The little boy nodded, his face could not be seen clearly in the dark, he could only see his thin outline and a pair of big black eyes, and he lowered his voice and said something to Lu Heng.
When Lu Heng heard this, he immediately tensed up and stopped his mouth on guard.
Seeing this, Qin Yining knew that something was wrong, and asked in a low voice, "What did he say?" ”
Lu Heng said: "He asked me if we were the warriors who killed the female khan." ”
When the little boy saw Lu Heng's appearance, he became more and more excited, and he pulled Lu Heng's sleeve very quickly, and walked into the house while talking.
Seeing this, Qin Yining said anxiously, "What's wrong?" Let's go. ”
Lu Heng said: "He said that he is from the Mino Department, and when he stopped Anari on the street a few days ago, he once saw you and me in the team entering the city and hunting. If it is the warrior who killed the female khan, it is the benefactor of the Minobu tribe, which is why he let us hide in. ”
"But we're not ......"
"Rest easy."
Lu Heng obeyed the young man's strength and followed into the house. Qin Yining and Mu Jinghu had no choice but to follow up the steps.
Before entering the door, Qin Yining pointed to the cloth towel hanging from Mu Jinghu's chin.
Mu Jinghu then remembered to cover his face, quickly covered his face, and smiled at Qin Yining in thanks.
It is a spacious brick house. A bonfire was lit in the hall floor, and more than 30 ragged, skinny old and weak women and children gathered here.
Seeing the young man bring Qin Yining and the three of them in, there was a moment of silence in the hall, and everyone looked over.
The other, slightly taller teenager came over with a frown, "Harbara, who are these people you are bringing?" ”
Lu Heng turned around and whispered to Qin Yining: "It turns out that this child's name is Harbara, which means black tiger in Tatar language. ”
Qin Yining nodded.
Halbara said: "They are the warriors who killed the female khan, and they are being hunted by the minions, and I happened to meet them, so I let them in." ”
"But we still have the old and weak of the clan here, in case they are discovered...... And how can you be sure that they are the warriors who killed the female khan? ”
Harbara frowned, crossed his waist and said, "Chaganbala, you don't want to regret it, right?" You were the first to mention that if anyone can avenge our Abu and Eji, who will be the new patriarch of the Mino Tribe, right? The people heard it clearly! The patriarch is in trouble, can I not care? ”
"That's right......" Chaganbala said.
Halbara clapped his hands: "Isn't this over, the group of people outside said that it was a man and a woman who killed the female khan, Da Zhou came, we also happened to have met, and the people who lived in the palace from Da Zhou are them, so can there be any fault?" ”
"But they are from the Great Zhou, how can they be the new patriarch of Mino?"
"At the beginning, you didn't limit the fact that the Great Zhou people were not allowed to be the patriarch, and whoever can kill the female demon is a warrior and a hero, and it is to avenge the blood and relatives of the dead warriors and relatives of our Mino Department, if they are caught by the guards outside, how can we have the face to go to the sky to see Abu and Eji in the future?"
"Well, my good brother, you're right." Chaganbala patted Harbara on the shoulder, "It's that I'm thinking too much. They are warriors who help Eji and Abu and their people avenge their revenge, and they can now be the patriarchs of our Mino tribe. ”
The conversation between the two teenagers was clearly audible to the people around him.
Qin Yining couldn't understand what they said, Mu Jinghu didn't understand it, Lu Heng understood, and his eyes flashed with calculation, but he didn't interrupt immediately.
In this way, Qin Yining looked at the old, weak, sick and disabled people in front of him, and under the leadership of the two teenagers, he saluted them with one hand on his chest, and whispered something in his mouth.
Lu Heng turned to Qin Yining to explain the conversation between the two brothers just now, and then said, "They have decided that we are their new patriarch. ”
Qin Yining opened his mouth and stammered, "Isn't this okay?" ”
Lu Heng said: "We are lonely and want to leave Tatar, maybe these people can help." And they have recognized you and me as their patriarch, that is, they have decided that they will not change again. If we refuse, they will be sad. ”
Qin Yining said: "But we didn't meet their requirements." ”
"Since they have decided it, it means that Siqin has already put the same news outside."
Qin Yining was silent for a while.
After recognizing the people, Harbala and Chaganbala pulled Qin Yining, Lu Heng, and Mu Jinghu into their seats, and asked them with great interest about their heroic achievements when they killed the female khan.
Qin Yining didn't understand the language, so he only listened quietly with a smile on the side.
Although she was wearing men's clothes, her face was extremely beautiful, and she knew that she was a beautiful woman at a glance, and the clansmen couldn't take their eyes off her when they saw her handsome appearance.
Qin Yining took advantage of the chaos and said to Mu Jinghu: "You can leave later." We're safe here, and we'll get out of it on our own. Go back to your uncle, lest there be any trouble. Don't forget to help me send a message to Xiao Zhixi. ”
When Mu Jinghu heard this, he frowned in confusion, and said for a while: "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”
