Hearing this, Lu Heng declined, "I understand your good intentions, and I also feel your sincerity, but we are people of the Great Zhou Dynasty after all. If we become the Tribe Leaders of the Minuo Tribe, wouldn't that mean that the Minuo Tribe would become part of the Great Zhou Dynasty? We are friends and brothers. I can't do that to the Minuo Tribe. We can be good friends for generations and support each other, but you two brothers are the true masters of the Minuo Tribe. I believe that your parents in heaven will approve of this decision. "
Everyone was moved by these words.
Harbala and Chaganbara thought of their parents who had died tragically, and tears welled up in their eyes.
But since they had made the decision, they couldn't go back on it. This was a matter of honor and morality.
Qin Yining listened to them speak like pearls, but she didn't understand what they meant. If they spoke slower, she could understand some simple words and make some guesses.
Lu Heng explained to Qin Yining. Qin Yining thought about it and agreed with Lu Heng's decision. After all, they were outsiders, and she had learned her lesson from the Qingtian Alliance. She didn't dare to take over any organization now, because while it brought benefits, there might be a greater danger behind it.
"Now isn't the time to discuss this. What we need to think about is how to escape. Today, there are already pursuers searching, which means that Si Qin is free. If there's another city-wide search, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape so easily, and the Minuo Tribe will be implicated. If the Minuo Tribe is targeted, the consequences will be unthinkable. "
Lu Heng also frowned and nodded, "You're right. The problem is that if we escape from the city, we'll have to face pursuers. I'm afraid that the road leading to Da Zhou and the Tatan border from here will be inconvenient. "
Qin Yining pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "Do we have to enter the desert again?"
Lu Heng thought about the suffering they had suffered along the way and couldn't help but shiver.
But after careful analysis, if they had really escaped from the city, with Si Qin's intelligence and Tian Jizi's calculations, it would have been impossible for them to not leave any traces behind. They would definitely alert a large number of pursuers to search for them.
If they took the main road, it would be easy for them to catch up.
However, if they were to walk in the desert, and if they were fully prepared, their chances of escaping would be very high.
The weather was getting colder, and it was getting harder to walk in the desert. They needed to be more comprehensive in their preparations.
Lu Heng pursed his lips and discussed this decision with Chaganbala and his brothers.
The two of them frowned as they listened. However, after carefully listening to Lu Heng's analysis, he also felt that if they could leave the city, the desert could indeed help them escape the pursuit.
"In that case, let's get ready. I'll leave the city tomorrow and secretly contact the people outside the city. I'll ask them if they're willing to migrate with us. After leaving the capital and arriving at the border, there was a vast but sparsely populated area, so there was bound to be room for survival. To enter the desert, we must be well prepared, "Chaganbara said.
Halbara frowned, "That's easy, but how can we secretly bring you out?"
Qin Yining pursed his pale lips and said after a while, "Lure the tiger away from the mountain."
Lu Heng smiled and nodded, "Great minds think alike."

The Khan's funeral was grand, but because it happened so suddenly, it was also rough.
Because the members of the Tatan Imperial Family had long been dead or maimed when A Nari was still the Regent, not a single one of them was alive. In addition, Si Qin's reputation for benevolence and bravery spread far and wide, and the courtiers were all in favor of Si Qin's ascension to the throne.
After a short period of preparation and a grand succession ceremony, with the military power in her hands and the people's hearts in favor, she did not need to spend too much effort to reorganize. The Tatar political power was firmly in the hands of Siqin.
At the beginning of Si Qin's reign, he changed the name of his reign to Jian 'an. Because Si Qin's surname was Utkin, he was called "Utkin Khan". He also issued a proclamation, vowing to avenge A Nari Khan and ordering the entire country to hunt down the murderer of A Nari Khan. He also wrote a letter to Da Zhou, condemning Da Zhou for the crime of assassinating A Nari Khan, and threatened to make them pay with blood.
For a time, the hatred of the Tatan people was completely aroused. On one hand, everyone vowed to avenge A Nari Khan. On the other hand, the people were moved by Utkin Khan's benevolence, and the people were united like never before. All the Tatan people praised Utkin Khan's wisdom and martial prowess.
In the evening, Si Qin received a report from his subordinates that they had found the whereabouts of Qin Yining and Lu Heng, and that they had been surrounded.
When Si Qin heard this, he immediately ordered, "Go and capture them alive. Ben Khan wants to kill them by a thousand cuts as an offering to A Nari Khan's soul in heaven! "
"Yes!" His subordinates replied and turned to leave. Si Qin said, "Wait, Ben Khan will go personally!"
Si Qin changed into a light robe and led his men straight to the location of the informant. All the guards and attendants secretly sighed with emotion at the deep love between Si Qin and A Nari Khan.
They rushed to a remote courtyard in the south of the city. Si Qin saw that his men were all around, and the courtyard was pitch black. Si Qin sneered and urged his horse forward, "Bring out the people inside."
"Yes!"
Everyone rushed forward and rushed in with an unstoppable force.
Soon, a woman's scream could be heard from inside.
Not long after, under the moonlight, two figures, one tall and one short, could be seen being pushed out.
Perhaps it was because they had been homeless for a long time, but their robes were barely recognizable as excellent brocade in the past. However, they were now in tatters and their hair was disheveled.
Si Qin spoke in Da Zhou language, "Second Master Lu, Ben Khan originally thought that you were a trustworthy friend and trusted you so much. I didn't expect you to be so unappreciative and betray us for a woman. You've truly disappointed Ben Khan. "
"Lu Heng" lowered his head and trembled slightly.
Si Qin narrowed his eyes and immediately felt that something was wrong.
He jumped off his horse and strode forward to grab "Qin Yining" by the hair. However, what he saw was a woman's face covered in scars.
The woman's eyes were filled with hatred and she immediately stabbed the dagger hidden in her sleeve.
Si Qin was furious and immediately realized that he had been tricked. He viciously kicked the woman's chest. Before the dagger could cut through Si Qin's skin, the woman's chest caved in from the kick and she flew twenty feet away. She fell to the ground and spat out blood as she died.
The tall "Si Qin" next to him was so frightened that his entire body trembled and he fell to the ground.
Si Qin grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up. He discovered that this was an old man about fifty to sixty years old and one of his eyes was blind.
"What a Minuo tribe! Quickly, send people to guard the city gates.
！ Immediately! "
"As you command!"
The attendants rushed to each of the four city gates to deliver the message as if their butts were on fire.
However, it was time to close the city gates. The city guards did not notice anything amiss and could not remember who had entered or left the city today. They could only tighten the security from now on.
