They squatted down in the cellar and used a stone brick to prop up the bottom of the vat. In addition, the vat was made so tightly that no one suspected that it was the entrance to a cellar.
The people searching impatiently focused their attention on the broken vat. As if venting their anger, they picked up a stone that was casually thrown aside and threw it at the vat.
With a crisp sound, the large vat was smashed into pieces. The pursuers all laughed heartily, as if they had encountered something worth being happy about.
Seeing that the Minuo tribe's residence was only so big and that they had searched everywhere, there was no place to hide. The leader had no choice but to retreat with his people.
In the cellar, Qin Yining, Lu Heng, and Harbala heard the footsteps and gradually breathed a sigh of relief. However, they did not dare to act rashly. They still held the entrance of the cave and did not dare to reveal any flaws.
Outside, Chaganbara frowned and sent the soldiers away with a pained expression on his face. The soldiers who were being searched were smashed with a jar for no reason. Small people like them did not dare to have any complaints, lest they cause more trouble.
When the soldiers saw Chaganbala's cowardice, they felt even more satisfied, as if they had received a great sense of accomplishment.
After these people had left, Chaganbala did not dare to go to the backyard. Instead, he went to the front hall and huddled with his tribesmen to keep warm. He also secretly warned these people not to reveal the secret.
In the cellar, Qin Yining asked Lu Heng in a low voice, "What were they talking about outside just now?"
Because the cellar was very spacious and there was a ventilation hole, it was much warmer in the northern Tatan tribe's cellar than outside.
Lu Heng could not see Qin Yining's face clearly in the dark, but he still groped his way closer to her and whispered in her ear what he had heard.
Qin Yining listened attentively and said with a frown, "I don't think this is the end. With Si Qin's cautiousness and cunning, it's very likely that he has already set up an inescapable net outside. They didn't find anything this time because they didn't expect the Minuo tribe to have a cellar. When Si Qin is forced into a corner, they will make their move."
"I think so too. It's just that if we leave the cellar now, it's very likely that we'll be seen by the spies they left behind. Chaganbara can't go and observe if the people searching have retreated."
Qin Yining said, "Then let's wait here for a while. We'll think of a way to get out when it's late at night."
Lu Heng nodded in agreement.
Halbara didn't understand what they were talking about, so Lu Heng explained to him in a low voice. "We can't stay here any longer. If he didn't think of a way to leave now, he might be caught by Si Qin. At that time, the Minuo Tribe will be in danger. "
Halbara bit his nails nervously. It was as if he was trying to make a decision.
After a long time, Halbara said, "At night, we'll think of a way to get out of here and leave Dadu."
"You're leaving Dadu too?" Lu Heng said worriedly, "Your Minuo Clan still has so many clansmen. You need to protect them as well. If you go against Siqin, who is as cunning as a fox, with his vicious and merciless nature, I'm afraid you will only end up dead in the future. I advise you to be careful. You have to make sure everyone's lives are safe.
。”
Halbara was touched and smiled. "I knew I didn't save the wrong people. I know that both of you are decent people. You won't abandon us for the sake of your own safety. "
Lu Heng rolled his eyes helplessly. "You're still in the mood to have fun at a time like this. If it weren't for your help, we would have been captured long ago. We've been with each other all this time, and we're all blood brothers. If we do something to betray the Minuo Tribe, can we still be considered human? "
Halbara was so touched that he sniffled.
To be honest, they hadn't known Lu Heng and Qin Yining for long. For a moment, when they were being searched, he regretted it. He even thought that if they were really searched, they would definitely find a way to escape first. At that time, they wouldn't care about the Minuo Tribe.
But the reality was that they were still upholding their morals.
The Tatan had been doing business with Da Zhou for many years, and had a bad impression of the people of Da Zhou. They felt that the people of Da Zhou were cunning and treacherous, and that they shouldn't be associated with them.
But now, he had seen through them completely. There were honest people in Da Zhou, and there were despicable people in Tatan like A Nari.
The three of them huddled in the cellar, quietly listening to the movements outside and talking in low voices. Qin Yining and Halbara didn't speak the same language, so Lu Heng acted as their translator. It was a peaceful scene.
Soon, it was late at night.
Just as Qin Yining and Lu Heng were thinking about whether or not they should go out, they suddenly heard Chaganbara's low voice.
"It's fine. Come out quickly. The people patrolling around have already left."
Hearing this, the three of them immediately squatted down and moved to the entrance of the cave. They moved the bottom of the vat and other things away, and climbed out with dirty faces. Qin Yining shivered in the cold night wind as she breathed in the damp and hard smell of the soil in the air.
Chaganbara pulled them quickly into the house.
The few of them sat down around the bonfire, and some of the clansmen served them piping hot rice soup and dry biscuits.
Qin Yining ate a few bites of the biscuits with the hot rice soup, then said in a low voice,
I don't know if the curfew in the city is still as strict as before. If it's relaxed even a little, let's get out of the city quickly. Everything can wait until we're out of the city. "
Lu Heng nodded and told Qin Yining's words to the people around them.
When the tribesmen of the Minuo Tribe heard this, they couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Especially Halbala and Chaganbara.
Back then, the one who could take revenge would be the chief of the Minuo Tribe. This was an oath that they had sworn in front of their ancestors.
Naturally, the two brothers were not cowards who were afraid of death. Although it was a little awkward to have two Da Zhou tribesmen as the chief, after spending some time together, they had a deep understanding of Lu Heng's temperament and methods. They also had a real trust in their characters.
If the Minuo Tribe was led by such a smart and knowledgeable person, even if their tribe would no longer be as prosperous as before, and they would no longer have a large grassland with abundant water and grass, the tribesmen who survived would still be able to live a good life.
"Second Master Lu, I've also told you before that the people of the Minuo Tribe will never go back on their words. Now, Second Master Lu and Princess Consort Lu are the chiefs of our tribe. From now on, everything will be entrusted to you! "
