“When the time comes, won’t you be by my side? If anything happens, it won’t be my turn to ask.” Lin Suisui was amused by Lu Ze’s words and looked at Lu Ze mischievously.
Lu Ze wasn’t as relaxed as she thought. Even though he knew that Lin Suisui was joking to diffuse his worry, Lu Ze still looked at Lin Suisui very seriously and continued, “There will be times when I’m not by your side. Although I arranged for shadow guards to protect you, I’m still a little worried.”
No matter what, this was Gu Han’s territory.
No matter how well he arranged things, he was still a little worried that he would neglect something.
“I know. I won’t leave the tent unless it’s necessary.” Lin Suisui nodded and promised Lu Ze in a low voice. Her voice was very soft and comforting. “Don’t worry, I’ll try my best to protect myself. I won’t distract you.”
After a pause, as if she was worried that Lu Ze would misunderstand, she quickly added, “Don’t think too much about it. We’re husband and wife now, and we’re in someone else’s territory, so we’re naturally in the same boat.
When I’m protecting myself, I’m protecting the both of us.”
Lu Ze smiled as he reached out to pull Lin Suisui into his arms. He hugged her tightly for a long time before letting go of her reluctantly. Then, he lowered his head and rubbed her forehead as he lamented regretfully, “Unfortunately, we’re in someone else’s territory now.”
At such a close distance, Lin Suisui naturally felt the change in Lu Ze’s body. She blushed and broke free from Lu Ze’s arms. Then, she spat softly as she said angrily, “Why are you still thinking about irrelevant things at a time like this?!”
Lu Ze wasn’t angry. He simply said shamelessly, “How is this irrelevant?”
Lin Suisui couldn’t win against Lu Ze, who wanted to tease her. She only resisted for a round or two before being forced to compromise. She was so angry that she punched his shoulder gently. Then, she turned around and went to tidy up the herbs on the table at the side.
Knowing that Lin Suisui was thin-skinned, Lu Ze stopped and came over with a smile to help Lin Suisui. Just as the two of them were packing up the herbs on the table, from outside the tent, someone asked whether they could enter.
“Tonight is the Welcome Moon Festival of our grassland. There’s a gathering in the tribe. Do you two want to join in the fun?” Gu Han didn’t beat around the bush and explained his intentions as soon as he entered.
“Alright.” Lin Suisui couldn’t help but feel excited when she heard his words.
After all, she had only learned that there was such a festival on the grassland from those northern barbarian books.
The people on the grassland would slaughter livestock on this evening to worship the Moon Goddess. They would pray that the pasture would be lush in the future and that there wouldn’t be a drought that year.
Then, the entire tribe would put on their most glamorous clothes and dance around the bonfire under the moonlight.
“Heh, we’ll start preparing later! It’s already starting to get lively outside. If you don’t have anything else to do, you can come to join in the fun.”
Gu Han liked lively events, so after extending the invitation, he left without looking back.
Not long after Gu Han left the tent, cheers came from outside. It was indeed quite lively.
Lu Ze didn’t delay things any longer. After he brought Lin Suisui out of the tent, he walked towards the crowded place.
Lin Suisui didn’t expect that the reason this place was so lively was that Gu Han and Mo Rigen were catching sheep here.
“This is a custom unique to the northern barbarians. On such a festive day, they have to show off the strength of their tribe to the gods. Therefore, they raise a special ram in advance to fight sheep.
This kind of sheep is very irritable. At this moment, they will let the warriors of the tribe go forward and fight this ram until the warriors subdue it.”
Lu Ze knew that this was the first time Lin Suisui had seen such a scene, so he came over and whispered into her ear.
It was obvious that this wasn’t just for show. When a manic ram was at its most angry, it could stab people in the chest and abdomen with its sharp horns.
Therefore, Lin Suisui couldn’t help but worry for the two people present.
However, it was obvious that her worry was a little overboard.
Be it Gu Han or Mo Rigen, they were all experienced in dealing with such situations. Not long after, the previously unruly ram was placed on the ground by them.
Today’s most important sacrifice had been successfully captured. The rest was the prairie people’s forte.
Delicacies that could only be enjoyed on the grassland were sent to the table where Lin Suisui was sitting.
Most of the grassland children could sing and dance. Amidst the music of their own musical instruments, they stood up and walked into the arena. Then, they began to dance around the bonfire.
It was also at this moment that Lin Suisui saw another side of Gu Han.
Mo Rigen and Gu Han sang a tune that only the children of the grassland could understand.
This peaceful and blissful scene made Lin Suisui understand why Lu Ze had cooperated with Gu Han.
Gu Han was a normal person!
He had experienced the lives of ordinary northern barbarians and knew what the herdsmen of these ordinary northern barbarian tribes wanted the most.
Slaughter and plunder actually wouldn’t bring them any good days. Instead, they would instantly fall into dire straits.
These people couldn’t obtain the wealth they had plundered during the war, but they had to accept all the damage and influence caused after the war.
“Actually, it would be good if Gu Han could continue like this.” Lin Suisui looked at Gu Han, who was singing with Mo Rigen and a few young men because he had drunk too much. She suddenly said to Lu Ze, “If his current performance is the real him and not his disguise.”
“None of us can guarantee what the future will be like.” Lu Ze turned to look at Lin Suisui with a smile and replied in a low voice, “But in this current situation, he’s indeed the most suitable person to become Sr. Khan in the future. Be it for our empire or these ordinary northern barbarians, he’s the best candidate..”
