Chapter 149: Four people plan a counterattack with one heart
After Elder Bayan finished speaking, all four of them fell silent.
After a long while, Lu An let out a long sigh.
"The dead are gone."
"Qingchen, since the situation here in the Western Regions is so complicated, and your roots are in the Central Plains, why don't you go back to the Central Plains with us?"
"No way!"
"No way!"
"No way!"
Lu An was stunned.
looked at Elder Bayan, Mu Lingfeng and Pu Zhen blankly.
He just looks at it from his personal point of view.
In fact, this is also the most reasonable way that he, a person with a modern mind, can think of.
The world is so chaotic, why bother wading through muddy waters in this desolate place in the Western Regions?
Wouldn't it be good to go back to the Central Plains with him, do business, and be a rich man in the world?
Because Lu An saved Qingchen, Elder Bayan still has some gratitude to Lu An.
But at this time, it was like an old hen staring at an eagle, for fear that Lu An would abduct Qingchen, and his vigilant eyes were almost to the point of turning his face.
Bayan's idea was simple.
As long as Qingchen, the Holy Maiden of Qiuzi, is in the Western Regions, it is equivalent to them having a spiritual pillar and the confidence and banner to fight.
Lu An can also understand this.
What made him curious was that Mu Lingfeng and Pu Zhen actually opposed his proposal.
Aren't they in a hurry to return to the Central Plains?
Pu Zhen ignored Lu An, and hugged his fist at Qingchen, "Qingchen girl, I was offended a lot before, please forgive me." β
"Pu doesn't know that I am a descendant of General Wei, so this is a little rude."
"Although General Wei has long been an ancient, he has always been the most respected hero in Pu's life!"
"Besides, he was born in Middle-earth, but his bones are stuck outside, which is really embarrassing!"
"Not bad!" At the same time, Mu Lingfeng solemnly echoed, "General Wei is a real hero, worthy of the Central Plains, worthy of the great cadres!" β
Lu An shook his head, "The deeds of Lingfeng, General Pu, and General Wei are certainly respectable, but after all, it was nearly a hundred years ago.
Besides, it has been more than ten years since the fall of Daqian, and now it is the era of the Great Xia Empire, do you think it is fair to let a woman in Qingchen bear the grievances of her family and country a hundred years ago? β
"Miss, he's not a good person!" Elder Bayan was speechless for a few words.
What kind of logic is this?
Is white-eyed wolf so popular now?
Just saved this old guy, and in a blink of an eye, he didn't recognize anyone?
Qingchen shook his head and said calmly to Lu An, "Mr. Lu's kindness, Qingchen understands. β
"Qingchen is not a person who loves the powerful."
"What a holy woman of Qiuzi, Queen of Qiuzi, for me, is dispensable."
"It is certainly my wish to be able to return to my homeland."
"But Mr. Lu, don't forget that the souls of my father, grandfather, and great-grandfather are still here!"
"And their bones were thrown in the Jishu River, and they were missing."
"As a child and descendant, if you can't seek justice for your ancestors, how can Qingchen be a human being!"
"Therefore, even if there is no external help, even if he dies in this desolate place in the Western Regions like his ancestors, Qingchen will not leave like this."
"What's moreβ"
Qingchen looked at Elder Bayan and the other twenty-three surviving guardians next to him, "I don't care about myself, but I also want to stay here for them, for their persistence and protection!" β
"Thank you, Miss!" Elder Bayan shook deeply on the spot, his face almost touching the ground.
Pu Zhen also blurted out praise, "Okay! is worthy of being a descendant of General Wei, and he is really affectionate and righteous! β
When Lu An heard this, his brows furrowed, "What does General Pu mean, is he willing to help Qingchen take back his homeland?" β
"Uh-this ......"
Pu Zhen was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at Mu Lingfeng.
No matter how moved he was by Qingchen's life experience, after all, he hadn't forgotten his mission when he came to the Western Regions this time.
Mu Lingfeng was also straightforward, and asked directly, "Everything depends on the meaning of Xianggong, what you say, let's do it!" β
Pu Zhen nodded immediately.
Lu Anxin was secretly happy, but he remained silent on the surface, sitting in place and thinking.
"If Mr. Lu has a difficulty, Qingchen will not be reluctant."
Qingchen spoke at the right time, "Actually, the main reason why Elder Bayan and I and my party are trapped here is because we can't find a water source. β
"The Western Regions have always been short of water and rain, especially in the area of the Prison Lanhai, where food is easy to do, but there is a shortage of fresh water."
"In the time since Qiao'er left, we have found many ways out, but in the end we still can't get out of here."
"I don't know how you passed the road you came from, but as far as I know, that road has been blocked by the King of Loulan, and it is completely impossible to go out because of the terrain."
"On our left is the vast Lanhai Sea, although there is the Peacock River Basin in front of us, and the water and grass are abundant, but it is blocked by the King of Loulan and thousands of heavy soldiers, and it is even more impassable."
"As for the rightβ"
Qingchen pointed to the desert where she and Erma came before, "That's the big sand moraine of the White Dragon Dui, the area is vast and immense, and it will take at least seven or eight days to get out of the White Dragon Dui." β
"There is not enough fresh water to replenish, and trying to pass through the White Dragon Pile is no different from looking for death."
"However, now that Mr. Lu has the method of extracting fresh water, although we have few people, it will not be too difficult to pass through Bailongdui."
"As long as you pass the White Dragon Pile, there is a way to bypass the encirclement and return to Qiuzi."
"And then?" Lu An asked, "Even if you pass the White Dragon Pile and let you return to Qiuzi, what can you do?" β
"This, don't worry about Mr. Lu!" Elder Bayan said in a cold voice, "In addition to us useless old men, there are also many old people who are loyal to my young lady, and they may not be able to defeat strong enemies!" β
"Elder Bayan misunderstood, I didn't say I wouldn't help you." Lu An explained with a slight smile.
"Mr. Lu, you, are you really willing-" Qingchen's eyes lit up.
"Of course!"
Qingchen was right.
Even if it is not for power, not for the queen of the Western Regions, but the bones of the ancestors cannot be humiliated!
In other words, he would not give up easily, give up hatred, escape to the Central Plains, and be a carefree rich man!
"Qingchen, the Loulan Kingdom you just talked about shouldn't be too big, right?"
"Well, counting all the residents, there are more than 10,000 people at most, and they are scattered among the four major cities of Loulan Kingdom."
"How many people are there in the capital of Loulan Kingdom?" Lu An asked, while taking out the map given by Lu Yuyan, and pointed to the location of the capital of Loulan on it.
Qingchen's eyes lit up, and he pointed to the location of the capital of Loulan Kingdom, "There are nearly four thousand people, of which there are only more than a thousand people in armor, and most of them should be scattered in the positions of our front and rear sides at this time!" β
"Good!" Lu An smiled proudly when he heard this, and looked at Pu Zhen again, "General Pu is experienced, and Elder Qingchen and Elder Bayan know this area very well, this battle should be no problem if it is arranged by General Pu, right?" β
Pu Zhen smiled contemptuously, "Then it depends on what An Shao wants?" β
"It's very simple, destroy Loulan, repel the Turks, break up the Loulan Alliance, and help Qingchen return to Qiuzi!"
