“No, I’ll go.”

Lu Ze rejected Pei Qian’s suggestion very bluntly and raised his hand to stop him as he continued, “You’ve never been to the northern barbarian territory. Marching on the grassland is not an easy task.

You might have met Gu Han a few times, but in the northern barbarian territory, if you hadn’t experienced life on the grassland at all, it was hard to guarantee that you wouldn’t be led by the nose by Gu Han after entering the grassland.

There’s another reason I’m asking you to stay outside.

It’s much more convenient for you to mobilize troops and prepare rations in the northern region than for me to do it.”

Lu Ze was telling the truth.

Although Pei Qian didn’t want to admit it, he couldn’t refute Lu Ze.

“I’ll go too.”

Just as he was wondering if there was a way to change his mind, he heard Lin Suisui, who had been eating at the side, make a request that neither of them expected.

“No!”

“No way!”

Almost at the same time, Pei Qian and Lu Ze rejected this request.

“It’s too dangerous, and the march is very arduous. I won’t be able to take care of you like before,” Lu Ze said as he looked at Lin Suisui. Perhaps because he felt that he had rejected her too bluntly just now, he softened his tone and tried his best to tell her the reason for his rejection. “Therefore, you have to stay in the city this time.

“Don’t worry, if everything goes smoothly, I’ll be back in a month.”

“Have you thought of a way to treat Sr. Khan’s illness?” Lin Suisui had her reasons for insisting on going.

“I know that this trip will be dangerous and arduous, but I’m not afraid! I know how to ride a horse, recognize herbs, and have good medical skills. If you bring me along, you won’t have to bring military doctors along.

I won’t be a burden!”

Seeing that Lu Ze and Pci Qian were silent, Lin Suisui thought about it for a moment and continued, “I know that when you decided to let Gu Han succeed the throne as the new northern barbarian Khan, you no longer cared about Sr. Khan.

But since it’s a collaboration, shouldn’t you think about how Gu Han feels?

It’s obvious that he can’t abandon his father. His main purpose for this trip was to think of a way to save his father. Even if he can save his father, his father won’t live for much longer, but in the end, he will have fulfilled his wish.

This will also be beneficial and helpful to your cooperation in the future.

If we encounter a situation like that, even if we successfully control the northern barbarians in the end, won’t Gu Han think about how we ignored his father this time?

At that time, wouldn’t all our efforts be in vain?”

Trying their best to save him but not getting a good outcome was completely different from not saving him at all!

Lu Ze was silent for a long time before saying, “I’ll think about it.”

Being able to make Lu Ze waver in his decision was quite a success for Lin Suisui, so she didn’t pursue it anymore and nodded, indicating that she was willing to listen to his arrangements.

The three of them returned to the residence after dinner.

Gu Han didn’t make Pei Qian, Lu Ze, and the others wait too long. He gave an answer the next morning.

Just as Lin Suisui had suggested previously, Gu Han also asked how to deal with his father’s condition.

Although he had accepted their previous suggestion and become the new Khan after returning, it didn’t mean that he was willing to watch his father die.

“We’ll bring doctors along and try our best to treat your father.” Lu Ze answered Gu Han’s question very quickly.

However, perhaps because of his straightforwardness, Gu Han couldn’t help but feel suspicious. “Although my father isn’t in good health, he won’t fall unconscious just like that.

What can an ordinary medical officer do?

No matter how poor the northern barbarians are, it’s not difficult for us to find an ordinary doctor.”

“Your father might not be sick Perhaps he was poisoned.” Lu Ze didn’t ignore the suspicion and distrust in Gu Han’s eyes. Before Gu Han could speak again, he sighed softly and said, “The doctor I arranged to accompany me is not the type of doctor you think She’s my wife.”

“Crown Princess?” Gu Han gasped, and the suspicion in his eyes instantly turned to shock. Although he had just arrived in Cloud Mountain City, he knew a lot about this place, so he naturally knew that the Crown Princess, who was disguised as Madam Liu, was actually a doctor with superb medical skills.

However, he didn’t expect Lu Ze to really be willing to bring her to the northern barbarian Imperial Court.

After all, this was an extremely risky trip for them.

As if thinking of something, Gu Han looked at Lu Ze with disapproval. “Your Highness is actually willing to let the Crown Princess take the risk

It seems that you’re really thinking for the empire’s sake.”

For the sake of power, he was willing to sacrifice his wife, who he had always seemed very protective of?

“I’m just using this to show my sincerity in cooperating with you. You’re worried about your father. If we can’t let your father wake up, even if we can successfully cooperate and expel your brother from his current position, you’ll remain suspicious of us.

As for your father’s condition, if we arrange for other doctors to go over now, they might not be able to treat him.

“My wife’s medical skills are undoubtedly the most promising and she’s the most suitable person to treat your father. That’s why I’m considering letting her follow me to the northern barbarian Imperial Court.”

Although Gu Han didn’t criticize him explicitly, he couldn’t hide the dissatisfaction in his voice.

Lu Ze told Gu Han the reason for his decision.

King Gu didn’t expect Lu Ze to think so much about it. Guilt appeared on his face, but it was quickly replaced by sincerity. He stood up and bowed to Lu Ze respectfully. Then, he promised him solemnly, “I’m willing to swear that as long as I’m the king of the northern barbarians, I definitely won’t allow the northern barbarians to take the initiative to start a war with your empire!

I’m willing to form an alliance with the empire and share peace together!”
