"I won't leave."
Qin Yining looked at the simple faces filled with concern and reluctance. Her heart, which had not wavered in the slightest, became even more resolute.
Indeed, she could bypass the pursuers under the protection of Cao Yuqing and the Qingtian Alliance and find a safe place to hide. After this wave of pursuit, perhaps she could disguise herself and sneak back to Da Zhou. Perhaps she could hide her identity in Tatan and find a way to hide. That way, she would definitely be able to survive.
But what about after that?
They were companions who had gone through thick and thin together. When danger came, she would cower and run away, leaving all the consequences to her companions. Would she still have a conscience for the rest of her life?
Qin Yining had never been a person who was afraid of death. Even though she was reluctant to part with life after being together with Pang Xiao, she would not change her bottom line because of this.
There were things a man should do and things he should not do. Even though she was a woman, her heart did not lose to a man's.
Moreover, if it were not for the sake of helping her and Lu Heng leave, why would the people of the Minuo Tribe go through the trouble of angering Si Qin? Even if they could not survive the oppression in Dadu, why couldn't they find a time to leave without attracting attention? Why did they have to be tied to these two troublesome people? If it were not for the sake of keeping their promise and keeping their promise, who would be so foolish?
Although Qin Yining thought a lot, it only took a few breaths. Lu Heng also smiled and said, "What a coincidence. I don't plan to leave either."
Qin Yining looked at Lu Heng. Coincidentally, Lu Heng also tilted his head and looked over. The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Qin Yining knew that Lu Heng had the same idea as her.
Cao Yuqing, who had been watching Qin Yining with her lips tightly pursed, sighed and lowered her eyes in disappointment.
Uncle Arhan looked at them with a complicated expression on his face. He didn't say anything for a long time. Even if he had a sword on his neck, he wouldn't shed a single tear. But now, he was so moved that his eyes turned red.
Although the other clansmen didn't understand what Qin Yining and Lu Heng were talking about, they could guess what was going on when they saw the smiles on their faces and Uncle Arhan's expression.
Arhan took a deep breath and told his people what they meant.
This time, there were a few more people who were touched.
Everyone hurriedly tried to persuade them to leave. However, due to the language barrier, Qin Yining couldn't understand what they were saying. Lu Heng could understand, but he just smiled and shook his head, indicating that they didn't need to persuade him anymore.
They looked at Arhan for help.
Uncle Arhan still wanted to persuade him, but Qin Yining waved his hand and said, "Uncle, you don't have to persuade me anymore. I've already made up my mind."
Qin Yining turned around and looked at Cao Yuqing. He smiled and said, "Let's say our goodbyes here. Aunt Cao, there's really no need for you to go into the desert with me. I'm with so many clansmen, and we have enough supplies. I'm sure there won't be any problems. Besides, my father needs someone to protect him. I don't want to go into the desert and worry about my father's situation. Besides, I'm counting on you to tell my father about my situation. "
He then turned to Liao Zhibing and the Zhao brothers. "There's no need for the three of you to continue seeing me off. Go back to the border and live your lives as usual. I believe that our alliance members will be able to live a stable life."
Liao Zhibing frowned. His lips moved for a long time, but he didn't say anything to refuse.
Qin Yining sighed in relief when he saw that Liao Zhibing didn't insist on going into the desert with him.
Cao Yuqing stared at Qin Yining. Her face was tense. "I really want to knock you out and take you away."
"Aunt Cao, since you said that, I won't do it." Qin Yining smiled. "I'm very happy that you can handle this matter rationally."
"But you're not rational," Cao Yuqing said anxiously. "If I let you lose your life, how will I face your father in the future?"
"Aunt Cao, I'm not being irrational. I just have my own bottom line. I believe that even if my father finds out about my decision, he won't oppose it even if he feels bad for me. There are some things that I can't do in this world. If I do, I'll have to live in guilt for the rest of my life. I don't want to be that kind of person. I hope that Aunt Cao can understand. "
Cao Yuqing gritted her teeth and spat. "Little hussy, if I didn't understand you, I would've already taken you away like a bag."
Qin Yining knew that Cao Yuqing was in a difficult position, but he wouldn't change his mind. He just smiled at her apologetically.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Yining sighed and said, "Aunt Cao, I'll have to trouble you to pass a message to Wang Ye."
"What message?"
Qin Yining smiled bitterly and said, "I've already lost everything I have while running for my life. I don't have anything to give him. Aunt Cao, tell him not to worry about me. I'm very lucky. Even a wolf can't eat me. I'll definitely survive. Also, ask him to take good care of my parents for me. Also, ask him to take care of Bing Tang and Xiao Congee for me. "
Qin Yining hesitated for a moment, but he still moved closer to Cao Yuqing's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "If the imperial court really doesn't tolerate him in the future, I believe that he won't be a pushover. If he can gain the trust of the former officials of Beiji, ask Xiao Congee to take him to the mountain where I found Xiao Congee. If he can find the location of her old residence, he'll be able to gain something."
Cao Yuqing looked at Qin Yining in surprise.
Qin Yining only smiled at her and said, "Aunt Cao, help me take care of him. Don't tell him this for now. If you wait three to five years and make sure that I … by then, there won't be any room between him and Your Majesty. If he's still the Pang Zhixi who cares about the safety of the people, you can tell him. Otherwise, this secret will only rot in your heart. You can't even tell my father. This is my last request. Aunt Cao, can you do it? "
Cao Yuqing saw that Cao Yuqing was indifferent to life and death and was calmly making arrangements for her funeral. She felt very uncomfortable and said with a cold face, "You can tell this to him in the future. I won't get involved in the matters between you and your father. You won't die. Don't worry. "
"I know that. There's no time to lose. You should leave quickly. "
Qin Yining urged Cao Yuqing, Liao Zhibing, and Zhao Yinuo to leave quickly.
Cao Yuqing pursed her lips and stood up. She angrily pinched Qin Yining's face and said, "You're such a worrisome girl!"
Then she turned and strode away.
Liao Zhibing, Zhao Yinuo, and Zhao Wanjin saluted Qin Yining and said, "Alliance Chief, we're leaving."
"I won't see you off. Be careful."
Qin Yining also saluted back.
Uncle Arhan and the tribesmen of the Minuo Tribe saw that Qin Yining had sent all of their people away, but she was determined not to leave. They were even more moved.
They felt that Qin Yining was a woman after all. She had a family in Da Zhou and a husband who loved her. If she went back, she would be able to live a good life. Compared to Lu Heng, who had a family and couldn't go back, Qin Yining's position in their hearts was even higher.
Qin Yining saw that Cao Yuqing and the others had left with their horses, so she turned around and said, "Since we've decided, let's prepare enough water and get ready to leave."
"Okay." Uncle Arhan nodded and immediately led his men to urge the tribesmen to prepare. At the same time, he spread the news that Qin Yining and Lu Heng were unwilling to leave for their common survival.
