Lu Heng cautiously pulled Qin Yining behind him.
Mu Jinghu, on the other hand, was protecting the two of them. She observed the figure on the ground and listened to the other party's footsteps and voices. She was silently calculating the chances of him winning against all of them.
Qin Yining could not help but hold his breath. His eyes widened and his heartbeat quickened, as if it was about to burst out of his chest.
As the footsteps approached, the orange glow of the torches at the entrance of the alley became brighter and brighter. Qin Yining's hand, which was holding onto the bundle, gradually turned white from nervousness.
Just as the pursuers were about to reach the entrance of the alley and Mu Jinghu was prepared to face them, a wooden gate beside them was suddenly pushed open gently. A skinny young man waved at them anxiously and said in Tatan, "Quick, come in!"
The three of them hurriedly rushed over.
At the same time, the pursuers also turned around and held up their torches to check their surroundings.
When they passed by a few inconspicuous gates, they did not pay much attention to them. This was because almost everyone had just entered the house through the front door and finished searching, so there was no need to enter through the side door again.
When they reached the end and found that it was a dead end, the pursuers confirmed that no one could hide here and continued their search elsewhere.
Qin Yining, Lu Heng and Mu Jinghu quietly heaved a sigh of relief. They turned around and thanked the young man who had let them in.
Lu Heng said in Tatan, "Thank you, little brother. If it were not for your help, we would have been killed. Don't worry, we will not stay for long. When those people are far away, we will leave. We will not cause any trouble for your family. "
The young man nodded. His appearance could not be seen clearly in the darkness. Only his skinny silhouette and a pair of big black eyes could be seen. He lowered his voice and said something to Lu Heng.
When Lu Heng heard this, his body immediately tensed up and he kept his mouth shut.
Qin Yining saw this and knew that something was wrong. He asked in a low voice, "What did he say?"
Lu Heng said, "He asked me, did we kill the female Khan's warriors?"
When the young boy saw Lu Heng's expression, he became even more excited. He quickly pulled on Lu Heng's sleeve and walked into the house while talking.
Qin Yining said anxiously, "What's wrong? Why don't we just leave? "
But Lu Heng said, "He said he was from the Minuo tribe. A few days ago, when he stopped A Nari on the street, he saw you and me in the hunting party. If he is the warrior who killed the female khan, then he is the benefactor of the Minuo Tribe. That is why he asked us to hide here. "
"But we are not …"
"Calm down."
Lu Heng obeyed the young man and followed him into the house. Qin Yining and Mu Jinghu had no choice but to follow him up the stairs.
Before entering, Qin Yining pointed at the cloth hanging on Mu Jinghu's chin.
Mu Jinghu then remembered that he had to cover his face. He quickly covered his face and smiled gratefully at Qin Yining.
It was a spacious brick house. There was a bonfire lit in the hall. There were more than 30 old and weak women and children in ragged clothes gathered here.
When they saw the boy bring Qin Yining and the other two in, there was a moment of silence in the hall. Everyone looked over.
Another boy who was slightly taller came over with a frown.
Harbala, who are these people you brought with you? "
Lu Heng turned around and whispered to Qin Yining, "So this boy is called Harbala. It means black tiger in Tatan."
Qin Yining nodded.
Harbala said, "They are the warriors who killed the female Khan. They are being chased by the minions. I happened to run into them and let them in."
"But there are still the old and weak in our tribe here. If we are discovered … and how can you be sure that they are the warriors who killed the female Khan?"
Harbala frowned and put his hands on his hips. "Chaganbara, are you going back on your word? You were the one who said that whoever could avenge our Abu and Eji would be the new chief of the Minuo tribe. Is that right? All the clansmen had heard it clearly! How can I not help the chief when he is in trouble? "
"That's right …" Chaganbara said.
Harbala clapped his hands. "That's it. The people outside said that the ones who killed the female Khan were a man and a woman from Da Zhou. We have seen them before and there are people from Da Zhou living in the palace. How can they be wrong?"
"But they are from Da Zhou. How can they be the new chief of the Minuo tribe?"
"You didn't say that people from Da Zhou were not allowed to be the chief. Besides, whoever killed the female demon would be a warrior and a hero. They would be avenging our dead warriors and our loved ones. If they were caught by the guards outside, how can we face Abu and Eji in the future?"
"Okay, my good brother, you are right." Chaganbara patted Harbala's shoulder. "I thought too much. They are the warriors who helped Eji and Abu and our people take revenge. They can be the chiefs of the Minuo tribe now. "
The conversation between the two teenagers was heard clearly by the people around them.
Qin Yining didn't understand what they were saying. Mu Jinghu didn't understand half of it. Lu Heng understood. His eyes flashed with calculation, but he didn't interrupt them immediately.
Just like that, Qin Yining looked at the old and weak people in front of him. Under the guidance of the two teenagers, they bowed to them with one hand on their chest and whispered something in unison.
Lu Heng turned to Qin Yining and explained the conversation between the two brothers. Then he said, "They have already decided that we are the new chiefs of the Minuo tribe."
Qin Yining was tongue-tied. "That's not good, is it?"
Lu Heng said, "We are alone. If we want to leave Tatan, maybe these people can help us. Besides, they have already decided that you and I are their chiefs. They won't change their minds. If we reject them, they will be sad. "
Qin Yining said, "But we didn't fulfill their request."
"Since they have already decided, it means that Si Qin has already spread the news outside."
Qin Yining was silent for a while.
After recognizing the people, Harbala and Chaganbara pulled Qin Yining, Lu Heng, and Mu Jinghu to their seats. They excitedly asked them about their heroic battle record when they killed the female Khan.
Qin Yining didn't know the language, so he could only listen quietly with a smile.
Although she was wearing men's clothes, her face was extremely beautiful. With one look, one could tell that she was a beautiful woman. The tribe members couldn't take their eyes off her when they saw her charming appearance.
Qin Yining took advantage of the chaos and said to Mu Jinghu, "You should leave later. We are already safe here. We will think of a way to leave later. Quickly return to your Martial Uncle's place to prevent any trouble from happening. Don't forget to help me pass the news to Pang Zhixi. "
