Two days later, the darkness dissipated again, and the morning light showed slightly.
On the Gobi desert, under a dead tree, they experienced another fight, and several companions left forever. Everyone felt a little heavy.
Zhao Sheng walked to Jia Lian's side and whispered: "Second Master, it is absolutely impossible to continue like this. We are getting further and further away from the camp."
This time to encircle and suppress them, the enemy did not know how many troops they sent. Even though they were extremely careful, they still encountered the enemy countless times in the past two days.
Every time, only the people and horses can be left behind.
At this moment, there were almost no people around Jia Lian except his personal guards.
Moreover, most people were injured.
Zhao Sheng and others were naturally very worried about this.
"It is not a pity that the slaves and others should die, but the second master and the princess must not have anything happen to them!"
Jia Lian took a sip of water and glanced at them, "Just say what you want to say, don't hide it."
Zhao Sheng and Zhang Yong looked at each other, then Zhao Sheng knelt down and said: "Second Master, please forgive me, I have a plan."
"explain."
"The slave wants Miss Aqi to pretend to be a princess and be escorted away by the slaves and others, in order to attract the enemy's attention.
The princess and the second master can pretend to be herdsmen, so as to confuse the enemy.
Although this move cannot be said to be completely certain, at least the chance of the second master and the princess escaping back is greatly increased.
Once you return to Ganning Pass, you will be safe!"
This was discussed by Zhao Sheng and others, and they thought it was the most effective method. But they knew Jia Lian's temper and wanted to use A Qi as a bait. They were afraid that Jia Lian would not agree, so they never said anything.
Sure enough, Jia Lian was a little silent when he heard this. He looked around and saw tired but determined eyes.
Jia Lian knew that no matter what decision he made, these people would obey him and follow him without hesitation.
But, can he really take them all back?
The hundreds of people who came to rescue Princess Zhaoyang have basically been used as a backstop force in the past two days.
Even though Jia Lian couldn't bear it, he knew that the probability of those people being able to kill them and come back alive was very low.
Looking at the remaining 100 or so people, if they encounter the enemy twice more, their bones will probably be buried in this desolate Gobi.
By then, all the previous sacrifices may have been in vain.
Seeing that Jia Lian did not refuse immediately, Zhao Sheng quickly bowed to Aqi next to him and said: "I beg you, girl, to do it!"
"Okay, but let my sister follow them."
After a long period of instruction from her sister, Aqi was actually able to speak some simple Chinese.
It's just that she usually doesn't like talking to others.
Zhao Sheng thought for a while and nodded in agreement. Ah Qin didn't have much fighting ability. If Ah Qi hadn't been protecting her along the way, she might not have been able to get here.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Without her, there will be no impact.
So Aqi didn't say anything, walked to Princess Zhaoyang on the other side, and stared at Princess Zhaoyang...the clothes she was wearing.
The meaning is self-evident.
Princess Zhaoyang raised her eyebrows. The female guard next to Jia Lian is very unique. I heard that she was the orphan girl he picked up on the grassland last time...
"This is inappropriate."
"I feel good."
Just as Jia Lian spoke, Princess Zhaoyang stood up.
She looked at the woman in front of her and said solemnly: "If your second master and I can survive this time, you will be my savior.
If you come back alive, I will not treat you badly.
If you die, I will definitely treat your sister well."
Princess Zhaoyang has always been familiar with the people around Jia Lian.
Seeing that Aqi's eyes softened a bit after hearing this, Princess Zhaoyang didn't waste any time and directly took off her outer garment.
Although everyone was wearing thick clothes at this time of year, the surrounding sergeants immediately turned around and looked outside.
Regarding Princess Zhaoyang's rejection of his opinion and direct decision-making, Jia Lian frowned but did not contradict her.
From the perspective of superiority and inferiority, he and Princess Zhaoyang are both kings and ministers. He should really listen to Princess Zhaoyang.
Moreover, apart from Zhao Sheng's suggestion, he really couldn't find a better way.
It is indeed not a good idea to go around the enemy again.
"Second Master, here it is."
Zhao Sheng untied a package from his horse. Jia Lian opened it and saw that it was two sets of clothes belonging to Ola herders, one for a man and one for a woman.
Needless to say, they must have come from one of the herdsmen's homes they were in before. So, they had already planned this.
Glancing at Zhao Sheng, the boy just smiled.
At this point, Jia Lian didn't show any pretense. He handed the women's clothing to Princess Zhaoyang, then looked at Aqi. After a while, he took her into his arms and said in her ear: "Come back alive to see me!"
"Yes~~"
Aqi's voice trembled slightly, but she still didn't say anything more.
When Princess Zhaoyang saw this scene, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and then she pretended not to have seen it and began to arrange the coarse linen clothes in her hands.
"Master, let me pretend to be a princess."
Suddenly, Ah Qin, who had been silent until now, spoke.
A Qi immediately shook her head. Jia Lian also looked at her doubtfully.
Ah Qin then smiled and said: "First, my body shape is more similar to that of the princess, so I am more suitable for pretending to be a princess.
Secondly, I am very stupid and have no skills. I will only be a burden by my side.
This place is already far away from our main camp. Even if I and the princess pretend to be herdsmen, they don’t know what dangers they will encounter along the way.
With my sister here, at least she can protect me and the princess.
So, let my sister follow you."
"No!"
Aqi seemed a little angry and stared at Aqin.
"Sister, just listen to me. I know nothing except riding a horse.
If I follow Brother Zhang and the others, they can still protect me.
And your responsibility is even greater. You must send me and the princess back safely.
I'll wait for you in the camp."
With that said, he took away the clothes that Aqi had not yet put on and put them on himself.
Ah Qin naturally wanted to be with Jia Lian.
But she struggled and hesitated for a long time, and finally made the decision decisively.
She cares more about Jia Lian's safety than traveling with Jia Lian.
She knew that if it were her sister who followed Jia Lian, the three of them would have a greater chance of returning home safely.
In this case, she should do it.
The reason why Aqi let Ah Qin take away her clothes was because of Ah Qin's words.
She wants to protect Jia Lian.
In her heart, apart from her sister Aqin, there is only Jia Lian. Moreover, Jia Lian is the support of her two sisters.
Therefore, everything should put Jia Lian's safety first.
She couldn't refute her sister's statement.
Seeing that Aqin had already put on the princess's coat, Aqi could only look at Jia Lian and let him make up his mind. She knew that Aqin listened to Jia Lian the most.
To Jia Lian, it didn't matter whoever followed them, because he didn't think he needed protection, it was Princess Zhaoyang who needed protection.
Since it is destined to leave one person to pretend to be Princess Zhaoyang, it does not matter whether it is Aqi or Aqin.
Seeing the determined light in Ah Qin's eyes at this moment, Jia Lian knew that this was something Ah Qin felt she could consider for him. She also wanted to help him like her sister.
So he nodded and hugged her as well, "Go back and wait for me."
"Um."
"Come on, you can try on this dress too."
Just as the master and servant were saying goodbye, Princess Zhaoyang, who transformed into a horse-breeding woman, very uninterestedly put the clothes of a male herdsman on Jia Lian, which had turned white after washing, and pulled him to show off.
Consider it.
Looking at Princess Zhaoyang who snatched Jia Lian away from her, Ah Qin pouted.
They knew that this princess had bad intentions towards their father. Sure enough, regardless of her status as a princess, she was also a vixen!
