After the three of them discussed, they returned to the camp.
At this time, Chaganbala and Ha 'bala had already acknowledged Liao Zhibing as their master. They also brought along Uncle Arhan, who was acting as a translator, and they went to learn how to raise tracking Gu and how to control it.
In the following days, everyone started to make preparations. On one hand, the Mi Nuo tribe was preparing to settle down in Xi Yue, and the Chaganbala brothers were learning how to use tracking Gu. Thus, Lu Heng had full authority to negotiate with the officials stationed in Xi Yue on behalf of the Mi Nuo tribe.
However, because Pang Xiao had become the Xi Yue King and the Goddess had become the Xi Yue King's consort, the officials in the court were very obedient to the new king.
Thus, Lu Heng negotiated with Pang Xiao's subordinates, and things went very smoothly.
Pang Xiao first settled down Zhou Meng's wife, concubines, and children. He did not vent his anger on them as these people were worried about. Instead, he summoned all the officials in front of him and announced a command that would not be harsh on them.
"There is no reason for others to bear the blame for the mistakes made by the Zhou tribesmen. The women and children are innocent. They are also the people of Xi Yue and should not be implicated. "
Once these words were said, the officials unanimously agreed, and most of the officials heaved a sigh of relief in their hearts.
— — The new Xi Yue King and his consort could even let go of Zhou Meng's wife and children, so they would not make things difficult for these innocent officials.
After Xi Yue and the Mi Nuo tribe settled down and decided to live in peace, Pang Xiao looked at the officials of Xi Yue to choose the next ruler.
In the end, he chose an official called Li Ru.
Li Ru was thirty-four years old this year, and his ancestors had migrated here with Xi Yue. His father and grandfather both held important positions in Xi Yue's court, and his ancestors were accompanying officials of the state capital during the Bei Ji period.
Li Ru was smart and capable, but he did not lose his loyalty and benevolence. After Pang Xiao tested him, he felt that this person was quite suitable and called him to the palace for a private discussion.
As Qin Yining was not present, he naturally did not know what they had discussed.
However, when Li Ru left the palace, his eyes were sparkling, as if he was full of hope for the future.
Qin Yining handed Pang Xiao a cup of tea with a smile and asked, "What did you say to him? Why are they so excited? "
Pang Xiao smiled and said, "I just let him handle the affairs of the court. I also told him about the situation outside and told him my true identity."
Qin Yining said in surprise, "He knows who you are? Then wouldn't he also know that you're not the chosen King of the Sunset Moon? Then why is he still so excited? "
Pang Xiao smiled and said, "Although the people of Xi Yue believe in the Sunset Moon religion, there's no harm in using your brain for some things. Li Ru is a sensible person. In any case, during the reign of Zhou Meng, the people of Xi Yue did not have a good life. The royal family only used the legend of Xi Yue's Holy Book to give the people hope. It's like drawing a big cake to satisfy people's hunger. The people's patience will reach its limit sooner or later.
"The reason why the people of Xi Yue believe in the legend of the goddess is because the food problem in Xi Yue is not optimistic. Now that I have a strong background, I can promise to help them out of the desert at any time, and I can also provide food for the people of Xi Yue. In the future, we can also trade with Da Zhou, so the people of Xi Yue will no longer be trapped here like a prison. They can leave whenever they want. With so many benefits, of course Li Ru will be excited. "
Qin Yining smiled and nodded. She leaned on Pang Xiao's shoulder and said, "Actually, I really like this place. It would be great if our family could come here and settle down. We can live our lives peacefully and don't have to think about the disturbances outside. Even if we don't have to live a luxurious life and have servants, we will still be very happy. "
Pang Xiao's long arms wrapped around her shoulders. He pressed her into his embrace and kissed her forehead. His eyes became especially firm.
"There will be such a day. When that time comes, no one will threaten our lives and our family's lives. We can live a peaceful life. We don't have to think about anything else. We just have to think about how to have two children in three years. "
When Qin Yining heard this, her face turned red.
Although she and Pang Xiao were married, they had only been together for a month after their marriage. After that, they had been homeless. During the disaster relief period, they were even more tired and haggard. She really didn't think about how to have two children in three years.
Now that Pang Xiao said it out loud, Qin Yining was so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground. She hit him on the shoulder and said, "You are not serious."
"How am I not serious?" Pang Xiao loved her rosy cheeks. He pinched her chin and stole a kiss. He said vaguely, "I think this is a big deal."
Qin Yining wanted to refute, but in the end, she swallowed her words. She could only limp in his arms and let him do whatever he wanted.

After half a month of reorganization at Xi Yue, everything was ready.
Chagan Bala and Ha Bala also successfully learned how to use the tracking Gu. The two brothers also decided that they would pass down the tracking Gu as an inheritance, letting every generation learn how to use it. If they wanted to stay in this oasis in the future, the tracking Gu would be the best tool to enter and exit Xi Yue.
Early in the morning, more than a dozen Xi Yue officials led by Li Ru and the Minuo tribesmen led by the Chaganbala brothers sent Qin Yining's group to the edge of the oasis.
Uncle Arhan's eyes were a little wet. Looking at Qin Yining and Lu Heng, he said sadly, "If you have any difficulties outside in the future, come back. The Minuo tribe will always be your support. "
Harbala and Chaganbala also nodded and said in Tatan, "You will always be the chiefs of the Minuo tribe!"
Pang Xiao told Qin Yining the words of Harbala and Harbala. Qin Yining looked at the tribesmen who had gone through life and death together and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Everyone, take care of yourselves. Even if we are separated from each other in the future, we will still be worried about each other in our hearts. Then we will still be the same. "
Uncle Arhan pursed his lips. With tears in his eyes, he thumped his chest and nodded heavily.
On the other side, although the Xi Yue officials did not have such deep feelings for each other, after Li Ru and Pang Xiao came to an agreement, they now regarded Pang Xiao as the hope of Xi Yue. At this time, they also bowed solemnly to Pang Xiao and Qin Yining.
"Wang Ye and Princess Consort, please come back soon."
Pang Xiao smiled and nodded. Patting Li Ru's shoulder, he said, "A successful ruler will never be in a hurry to eliminate dissidents and expel foreign races. Instead, he will achieve the best balance between various factions and races. This is the so-called art of balance. Lord Li, you are a smart man. I hope you can remember This King's words. "
For a moment, Li Ru felt as if he had been enlightened. He could not help but look back at the Minuo tribesmen who were bidding farewell to Lu Heng and Qin Yining. His originally wavering mind was now firm.
"Wang Ye, don't worry. I understand what you mean. This land may be invaded by the wind and sand, but it will not be divided into two from the middle. What the people of Xi Yue need the most is not war, but stable development. I will not do anything that is disadvantageous to the people. "
Pang Xiao saw that he understood immediately and promised that he would not attack the Minuo tribe after he left. He smiled and patted Li Ru's shoulder again, "Take care."
"Wang Ye and Princess Consort, take care." Li Ru led the officials and bowed again.
Qin Yining put on his headscarf and waved at the Minuo tribesmen. Then, he left Xi Yue with Lu Heng, Cao Yuqing, Liao Zhibing, and Jinghu Wei who followed Pang Xiao. They gradually walked into the desert.
Uncle Arhan and the others watched as their figures gradually became a small black dot in the distance. Only then did they reluctantly turn back.
Chaganbala and Halbala's eyes were red.
Uncle Arhan's nose was also sour.
After all, they had gone through life and death together. This friendship was different from ordinary feelings.
"Alright, let's not be sad. Let's think about how to use the tracking Gu to bring our other tribesmen and children over. That's the most important thing!"
There was blue sky and white clouds in front of them. There was free air and a stable environment. The Minuo tribe could finally break out of the Tatan royal family's encirclement. They would no longer be oppressed and enslaved. They could continue to live and reproduce here. The future seemed to be full of hope. Halbala and Chaganbala also became spirited and laughed heartily.

Qin Yining and Pang Xiao's group went through several twists and turns on their way out of the desert. But because they had made sufficient preparations and had Liao Zhibing as their guide, everything in the desert went smoothly.
Seven days later, they finally left the desert by taking the shortest route, and arrived at a remote wilderness in the Tatar territory.
It was currently midwinter. Snow covered the wilderness and the mountains in the distance. The group chose to camp on a hillside that was sheltered from the wind and discussed their next move.
Qin Yining said, "I think we will be close to the border between Da Zhou and Tatan in a few days. At that time, it would be best for us to separate from Young Master Lu. The First Place is too big of a target. It would be better for Young Master Lu to enter the country secretly. "
Lu Heng nodded. "Exactly."
Qin Yining smiled and looked at Cao Yuqing. "Aunt Cao, did you agree to the matter I discussed with you last time?"
Cao Yuqing couldn't help but pinch Qin Yining's cheek. "You little girl, with your husband, I am redundant."
"Of course not." Qin Yining blushed at Cao Yuqing's words. She coughed and said, "Aunt Cao is very capable. I am also the best at disguising and hiding. It would be a piece of cake for you to dress Young Master Lu up and enter the country."
Cao Yuqing pretended to be helpless. "Alright, alright. Who asked you to call me aunt? I will agree to it. Leave the matter of escorting Second Master Lu into the capital to me. "
Qin Yining smiled and shook Cao Yuqing's arm. "Thank you, Aunt Cao."
Cao Yuqing liked Qin Yining from the bottom of her heart. She smiled and lightly flicked her forehead.
