Qin Yining almost laughed at his self-righteous tone.
"Your Young Master? Now, you've become a loyal servant who protects his master? But you disregarded your Young Master's wishes and forcibly kidnapped him, wanting to use him in exchange for your future. Now you have the face to say such things?
"What do you mean you're doing this for Your Majesty? Do you think I'm a fool? You're just doing this for your own personal gain. You really have the nerve to flatter yourself! "
Qin Yining slowly paced in front of the two, looking at them with a disdainful gaze. "If you're talking about the thickness of your skin, no one would be able to claim first place. This little girl really has a whole new level of respect for you! Admirable, admirable! "
Fei Lian and Fei Ying were angered by Qin Yining to the point that their faces turned red. They didn't expect that a person who looked soft and weak would be like an awl when she ridiculed people. She wouldn't stop until they were badly mutilated.
Fei Lian's temper was irritable. He scolded angrily, "You're a woman, yet you don't know your place at home. You only know how to cause trouble outside all day! Now you're surrounded by Tatan pursuers. If you don't find a way out, I'm afraid you'll be left behind in this foreign country! You're from Da Zhou, so you should find a way to return to Da Zhou! I advise you to hand over Second Master Lu to us and bring him back. Perhaps our Second Master will put in a few good words for you on account of your meritorious service. Then you'll be able to live a stable life in Da Zhou in the future! After all, you're a woman. Don't tell me Your Majesty will argue with a woman like you? "
Although Fei Ying's words were unpleasant, his reasoning was clear.
Although the two Minuo tribesmen who came with Uncle Arhan didn't understand what they were saying, Uncle Arhan did!
The current situation was indeed as Fei Ying said. The Minuo tribe had angered Utejin Khan by robbing the provisions. Now they were fleeing with a large amount of supplies.
Their predicament was unavoidable because they were in the territory of the Tatan. In the end, they were still Tatan people.
But Qin Yining and Lu Heng weren't! They could actually leave right now!
However, during the most difficult time, neither Lu Heng nor Qin Yining had any intention of backing down. They would live and die with the people of the Minuo Tribe.
Uncle Arhan was so moved that even his face turned red from excitement.
Qin Yining didn't pay attention to Arhan's thoughts. He only felt that these two betrayed their former master and still acted so righteously. It was truly abominable. He immediately said, "Take them down."
Fei Ying and Fei Lian hurriedly retreated. Fei Lian did not forget to threaten, "Qin, I advise you to be sensible and think about your family! If you let us go now, we can put in a few good words for you! Don't tell me that now that you've mingled with the Minuo Tribe, you won't have to return to Da Zhou for the rest of your life? "
Qin Yining frowned. He didn't want to waste time with them, so he just kept silent with a sullen face.
Cao Yuqing immediately unleashed her fists and legs, effortlessly knocking them to the ground. She then took the rope that Zhao Yinuo handed over and tied their arms behind their backs, tightly tying them up.
Lu Heng looked at Cao Yuqing in surprise.
They used to be his bodyguards, but now they were subdued in a few moves. Moreover, it was as easy as catching two chicks. He couldn't help but doubt the abilities of his former bodyguards.
Liao Zhibing looked at Lu Heng's sullen face, then looked at the two men and asked, "What should we do next? How should we deal with these two? "
Qin Yining turned to look at Lu Heng.
However, she saw that Lu Heng's face was heavy and his brows were tightly knitted, as if he was caught in a dilemma. She couldn't help but sigh.
Lu Heng pursed his lips and said, "Let them go."
These two men had obviously betrayed Lu Heng. At this time, Lu Heng could still be merciful. This made Qin Yining wonder if he was too vicious.
Hearing him say this, Uncle Arhan disagreed and said, "If we let them go, they will turn around and complain to the pursuers, revealing our whereabouts. What should we do then? "
Liao Zhibing and Zhao Yinuo also nodded.
Fei Lian and Fei Ying panicked and struggled violently. They were like two wriggling worms. After standing up with great difficulty, they accidentally fell to the ground.
Cao Yuqing crossed her arms and sneered, "Alright, Second Master Lu is kind and wants to spare you, but you don't know what's good for you. Not only did you betray your old master, but you also don't want your face. I think people like you don't need to live in this world."
Fei Lian and Fei Ying were so scared that their faces turned pale. They looked at Lu Heng pleadingly, "Second Master! Considering that we brothers have worked for you and risked our lives for you, please spare us this time! "
Lu Heng looked at their sorry state and thought about what would happen to the people around him if the position of the family head was changed. He couldn't help but hesitate.
Humans are not plants, and he is not a cruel person.
Liao Zhibing saw that Lu Heng's heart seemed to soften again and said first, "You also said that you sold your lives. Since you sold your lives, then it's a deal. Even if you die, Second Master Lu will compensate your family and give you enough money to sell your lives. The deal between you two has long been over. But what about you? Not only did you not do anything for Second Master Lu, but you also betrayed your old master for your own selfish desires and gave him away in exchange for a better future. At this time, you still have the nerve to use this kind of thing to plead for mercy. You really are men. You have really opened our eyes! "
Liao Zhibing's sarcasm was too piercing. The two men's faces were already red and purple.
Lu Heng became more and more hesitant.
Rationally, he knew that he shouldn't let them go, but emotionally, he couldn't bear to kill the people who used to follow him.
Seeing Lu Heng in such a dilemma, everyone felt a little helpless in their hearts.
Cao Yuqing chuckled softly. Her voice was soft and melodious, "If we let such scum go, then wouldn't the heavens punish us?"
"Second Master, I beg you to spare us! We know we were wrong! Second Master! "
Fei Ying and Fei Lian saw that their lives were in danger and hurriedly kowtowed to Lu Heng. Their hands were tied, and only their legs were free. Because they were too anxious, their foreheads were bleeding after two or three kowtows. Even in the darkness of the night, with the help of the moonlight and snow, they looked very miserable and pitiful.
In the end, they were people who used to follow him for so long. Even if he raised a cat or a dog, he would still have feelings for them, let alone a living person.
At this moment, emotions defeated reason. Lu Heng said softly, "You can go."
Lu Heng now only felt despair. His family had decided to sacrifice him, and his trusted subordinates had betrayed him. This made Lu Heng feel extremely confused. He didn't even know if he should continue to support them.
Everyone looked at each other, but when they saw that Lu Heng had made up his mind, they didn't say anything for a while.
Fei Ying and Fei Lian were overjoyed. They hurriedly jumped up and ran out of the forest. They didn't even care about the ropes that tied their arms.
Lu Heng turned and walked to the place where the horses were tied.
"Let's go back."
Qin Yining looked at Lu Heng's back and shook his head helplessly. He followed Uncle Arhan and the others.
Cao Yuqing raised her eyebrows and looked at Liao Zhibing. Liao Zhibing nodded and quietly took two steps back with Cao Yuqing. Then, like lightning, they used their qinggong to leave.
After a while, the two of them used their qinggong to return. They followed behind everyone and got on their horses as if nothing had happened.
Qin Yining and Cao Yuqing rode together and gave their horses to Lu Heng.
Except for Lu Heng, who was in a daze, everyone noticed that Liao Zhibing and Cao Yuqing had left for a while. Qin Yining, especially, had always had sharp senses. Even if the two of them used their qinggong to leave, she would have noticed that something was wrong before they ran out.
Qin Yining didn't think about what happened to Fei Lian and Fei Ying because there was no need to think about it. After all, Cao Yuqing and Liao Zhibing wouldn't allow any possibility of their whereabouts being exposed.
Everyone quickly rushed back to the camp. On the way, they were very anxious. They were afraid that during the time they were out, something unexpected would happen in the camp.
As a result, when they reached the periphery of the camp, they really saw the marks of horses' hooves on the snow. They weren't messy and looked like they were left by scouts.
When the group returned to the camp, they went directly to Harbala and Chaganbala.
The two brothers didn't dare to sleep too deeply. When they heard footsteps, they immediately woke up. When they saw that it was the group that had returned, they sighed in relief.
"What's the situation outside?"
Qin Yining said. "The situation isn't good. When we came back, we found the tracks left by scouts. We should leave here as soon as possible."
The group's expressions were quite serious, causing Harbala and Chaganbala to become nervous.
"Then I'll go tell the people to prepare to leave camp."
"Alright."
Harbala took some people to wake up the people and prepare to leave. Qin Yining and Uncle Arhan discussed what to do next.
Cao Yuqing looked back at Lu Heng. Seeing that he was still deep in thought at this juncture, she couldn't help but frown. She went up to him and whispered. "Second Master Lu, are you still thinking about those two traitors?"
Lu Heng seemed to be startled by the sudden voice. He suddenly raised his head and met Cao Yuqing's gaze. His lips moved, but he didn't say anything.
Cao Yuqing laughed coldly and said, "You're aware that I killed the two of them, right?"
Lu Heng's face instantly became even uglier. "You really killed them." His tone wasn't surprised. Obviously, he already knew.
"I always knew that Second Master Lu was a famous person. To be able to start from scratch at such a young age, your talent wouldn't lose to any successful person. But now, it seems that you also have moments of indecisiveness. You must know that once they leave and expose our whereabouts, the entire Minuo tribe will be buried with you because of a moment of pity! Now is the critical moment. The Tatan's pursuers are coming. Do you still have time to feel sorry for yourself? Think about it yourself. "
Cao Yuqing spat out these harsh words and turned around to leave.
