Gu Han was in a rather sorry state, but it was also because of his sorry state that he wanted to escape. He had not even thought about it thoroughly yet. If he really accepted his current predicament, what would happen next?

He would probably be completely led by the nose by the two people in front of him!

Seeing that Gu Han denied it, Lu Ze and Pei Qian didn’t force him. Instead, they turned around and asked Lin Suisui if she had found a medicine that could suppress people’s martial arts skills. After drinking it, Gu Han became very weak.

Pei Qian treated Gu Han as an esteemed guest and brought him back to his courtyard politely.

After Pei Qian left with Gu Han, Lin Suisui turned to look at Lu Ze. She felt a little worried about Gu Han.

However, Lu Ze didn’t let her imagination run wild for long and he answered her, “Gu Han actually came to cooperate with us.”

Actually, Sr. Khan is a very wise ruler.

His goal was actually to rule over the entire grassland. He had no intention of becoming enemies with the empire. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but he knew the difference in strength between the northern barbarians and the empire very well.

If it was a small fight, the northern barbarians might be able to gain some benefits, but if they really went overboard, it would be a disaster for the northern barbarians.

After all, there were many previous examples. The northern barbarians couldn’t afford to take the risk.

On the surface, the northern barbarians seemed to have a strong army, but in fact, if they really fought head-on, where would the northern barbarians find so much rations?

However, how long could they last by plundering along the way?

However, the empire was different.

Be it in terms of territory or wealth, the empire was far superior to the northern barbarians. If the northern barbarians really fought them head-on, they would be courting death.

Therefore, although there had always been small conflicts over the years when Sr. Khan was in power, there had definitely been no major incursions.

But Sr. Khan was old now.

No matter how fearless a Wolf King was on the grassland, it would eventually grow old one day.

His sons were unwilling to submit to his rule anymore! His eldest son, King Zadeh, was very ambitious.

Unlike his father, he had long set his sights on the territory of the empire. He wanted to break through the border of the empire and plunder everything in the empire!

In his opinion, he was a man blessed by the heavens and an invincible hero!

The world would be at his feet, and Sr. Khan, who had never given up his power, was the greatest obstacle in his way.

In the past, he had some scruples, but now, Sr. Khan was sick.

Since he was sick, he had an opportunity.

“You’re saying that King Zadeh rebelled?” Lin Suisui was shocked by the news Lu Ze had told her. Although she didn’t know much about the northern barbarians, she knew what King Zadeh was like.

He was sinister, cunning, and ruthless.

If he really became the new Khan of the northern barbarians in the future, a war between the northern barbarians and the empire would definitely be inevitable.

“Actually, a divided northern barbarian is the safest for the empire.” Lu Ze had never hidden his thoughts from Lin Suisui. After interacting with her for so long, he was already used to answering all the questions Lin Suisui asked.

“Therefore, Gu Han has to return to the northern barbarians.” As soon as Lu Ze said this, Lin Suisui understood what he meant.

With King Zadch’s current strength, although it wasn’t difficult to unify the northern barbarians, it would take some time. If he really stabilized his foundation, the next to suffer would definitely be the citizens of the empire.

Therefore, the safest way now was to disrupt everything while he hadn’t stabilized his position yet.

Gu Han was a good chess piece.

“Actually, to be honest, the person we want to become Sr. Khan is Gu Han.” Lu Ze poured a glass of water for Lin Suisui and handed it to her before continuing, “Although Gu Han is a belligerent person, he more or less knows his limits.

In a sense, he shares his father’s thoughts.

They want to take advantage of our empire, but they know their limits very well.

For all of us, he’s the most ideal rival.”

Although it was disgusting, it was better than war.

It wasn’t impossible for the empire to fight the two wars in the north and south, but life would be difficult for the commoners. Lu Ze seemed to have thought of something and was silent for a long time before continuing, “Although we can achieve meritorious deeds in war, every meritorious deed will result in many deaths.

“It’s not just those brave soldiers. There’s also the commoners.”

“Since Gu Han escaped to the empire safely, it means that he has supporters among the northern barbarians.” Lin Suisui took a sip of tea and thought for a moment before saying to Lu Ze, “Besides, since I didn’t hear about the new Khan succeeding the throne, it means that Sr. Khan isn’t dead yet.

In that case, it means that King Zadeh hasn’t completely taken over the Imperial Court yet. He still needs Sr. Khan to win over the people.”

“Therefore, Gu Han is probably more anxious than us at this moment.” Lu Ze smiled at Lin Suisui as he continued, “The fact that Sr. Khan is still alive means that he still has a chance. If Sr. Khan really dies and news of the new Khan succeeding the throne comes, his situation will be very awkward.”

Pei Qian naturally thought of the problem that Lin Suisui and Lu Ze thought of.

He fanned himself as he sized up the indignant Gu Han and he couldn’t help but laugh again. “Tsk, I’ve always thought that you were a smart person. I didn’t expect you to care so much about your reputation like those idiots.

Is this the attitude you northern barbarians show when you need help?”

“Pei Qian, since you already know the purpose of my trip, why ask? Just tell me directly. Will you agree or not?” Gu Han turned around to avoid Pei Qian’s mocking gaze, but he still refused to give in.

He must have been crazy to think of collaborating with Pei Qian and the others!

At this moment, the empire probably wanted to see an internal war among the northern barbarians the most! If that was the case, why would they help him return to the Imperial Court and calm the rebellion?
