The best part of the journey from Da Zhou to the Tatan capital wasn't as bad as it was now.
However, along the way, they encountered all kinds of trouble. Who knew where so many bandits and bandits came from, forcing the team to enter the desert.
Qin Yining was wearing a coarse cotton dress that was so dirty that the color couldn't be seen. She had a coarse scarf wrapped around her head and face. She held a thick and strong branch in her hand as she followed the team with difficulty.
Her injuries had already healed, but her body was weaker than before.
They had already been in the desert for ten days. In fact, if they weren't unlucky enough to encounter the sandstorm, they wouldn't be in such a miserable state. At least the water they brought was enough to eat.
It was a pity that the heavens seemed to like playing tricks on them.
Qin Yining also didn't expect that the Tatan people would travel thousands of miles to Da Zhou to find the treasure. Moreover, they had been searching for the treasure for a long time.
When the heavens and earth were shaking, she and the others were just about to reach the entrance of the cave when they were stopped by the Tatan Prince Consort Si Qin's men.
Si Qin looked like a handsome scholar who didn't look like a Tatan man. However, he was actually a cruel and merciless person who didn't show any mercy when killing people.
At that time, the Dragon Stallion Army didn't leave anyone alive. Lu Heng's men, including her and Mrs. Liao, were all brought out.
However, after entering the desert and encountering the sandstorm, all of Lu Heng's men were abandoned in the desert by Si Qin.
He didn't kill them directly. Instead, he chased them into the yellow sand and left them to fend for themselves.
In this team, there was the Tatan Prince Consort Si Qin and 20 men of sacrifice that Si Qin had brought. Mrs. Liao and two followers from the Qingtian Alliance, Lu Heng, and Qin Yining.
Qin Yining's feet felt like they were filled with lead. Her lips were dry and cracked, and she was so thirsty that she couldn't speak.
The last time she drank water was early in the morning, and everyone drank a mouthful to moisten their throats. At that time, Qin Yining couldn't bear to swallow the saliva. Instead, he kept it in his mouth for a long time so that it wouldn't feel too dry during the journey.
But even so, they still didn't have enough water.
"Stop." Si Qin stopped the team.
Qin Yining was panting as he supported himself with a tree branch. He wanted to see what Si Qin was going to do.
Si Qin walked straight to Mrs. Liao and the two Qingtian Alliance members. He spoke in fluent Da Zhou language, "We don't have enough water right now. You must tell me where the treasure is, or I will leave you here. "
Mrs. Liao was silent.
The two members of the Azure Sky Alliance were on the verge of tears.
They were the ones who received the least amount of water. Was he going to leave them here?
"Hurry up and tell them!"
"That's right. Why are you still hiding things at this time? If you don't tell me, you'll lose your life! "
"Is the treasure more important than your life? You've already killed so many of our brothers, and now you want to kill us too! "
The two people's mouths were dry, and their voices were hoarse and unpleasant, but they still spared no effort in persuading Mrs. Liao.
Mrs. Liao looked haggard and her cheeks were sunken, but she still smiled confidently, "To tell you the truth, I'm the only one who knows the location of the treasure. If you let me die, then you won't get the treasure for the rest of your life. "
Si Qin adjusted his scarf and said without raising his eyebrows, "And then? You mean you don't want to tell me? "
Mrs. Liao said, "Unless you agree to my conditions, I won't tell you the location of the treasure."
When Si Qin heard this, his eyebrows curved into a smile. A dimple appeared on his handsome face, making him seem very amiable and likable.
"We don't care about the treasure at all. If you want to tell us, I can let you live. If you don't want to tell us, then we don't care about the treasure." Si Qin waved his hand, and two strong men pulled the two spineless Qingtian Alliance members away. They walked a hundred steps and threw them onto the sand.
The two people ate a mouthful of sand, but they didn't dare to stay. They struggled to get up, spat out the sand in their mouths, and staggered back.
Mrs. Liao saw the two people return, and her smile became more confident.
"The Emperor of Da Zhou and the late Emperor of Dayan both needed the treasure and wanted it for themselves. You say you don't care about it, but I don't believe you. How can you prove it to me? "
Si Qin was amused by Mrs. Liao, "You're an interesting woman, but without the treasure, my army is still my army. There's no difference between you and me. If you don't want to tell us, then so be it. You guys go away together. We will no longer provide you with water and food. You can only pray for your own fortune. "
After saying this, Si Qin smiled and nodded to Mrs. Liao. Then, he turned back and led everyone away.
She really didn't want the treasure?
Qin Yining was suspicious.
The treasure was hidden by Mrs. Liao. Apart from the person who would definitely be silenced, Mrs. Liao might really be the only one who knew the whereabouts of the treasure. She said she was going to give up on Mrs. Liao. Was she deliberately trying to scare her?
Mrs. Liao thought she could use the treasure to negotiate, but who knew that the other party would be so straightforward and give up just like that!
Qin Yining watched from the sidelines for so many days. Si Qin was actually a very strange person.
He looked like a scholar, but he was actually very skilled in martial arts. He wasn't weak at all.
According to Tian Jizi's calculations, one of the Three Malefic Stars, Tan Lang, was in the Tatan. Combined with Si Qin's achievements and rumors in the Tatan, he should be the Grand Marshal who fought with Ji Zeyu for many years.
The Tatan Princess A Nari supported the Prince Regent passed away due to illness. A Nari became the Tatan's female Khan, and Si Qin became A Nari's son-in-law.
Even so, Si Qin was still in charge of the Tatan army. Every day, he made A Nari happy. He could also do some of his own things in private.
For example, he kidnapped so many people while searching for the treasure.
Therefore, Qin Yining felt that Si Qin's action of giving up the treasure was strange. Shouldn't the people who feed the army plan for more food and provisions?
Qin Yining didn't want to talk because she needed to maintain her strength.
Si Qin really did what he said.
Mrs. Liao and the two Qingtian Alliance members chased after the group. They stumbled all the way and could fall at any time.
However, Si Qin really didn't give them a drop of water or a bite of food. He didn't catch up until the three of them fell behind.
Qin Yining also wanted to save them. However, she didn't have water or food.
When Si Qin distributed the remaining water, Qin Yining had a whole new level of respect for Qin Yining.
He would first let the twenty death warriors who followed him drink water first. Si Qin would restrain himself and drink a mouthful of water. He would only give the rest to the kidnapped people. Lu Heng had the highest status in Si Qin's heart, so he was given the most water. Qin Yining was second.
Now that Mrs. Liao and the other two had been abandoned, if they still couldn't get out of the desert, she would be the next one to give up.
Qin Yining knew this, so she calmly thought of a solution while walking.
Qin Yining was quiet, never threw a tantrum, and was very patient. Si Qin couldn't help but walk beside her.
