Lu Ze’s words were very understandable.

If you become the future Khan of the northern barbarians and can rule over the northern barbarians with absolute authority, you naturally have the right to sit here and negotiate terms with us.

However, if you’re asking us for help with your current status…

Why should we help you?

You have so many brothers. Wouldn’t it be better to just support one of them as a puppet?

“What about you, Your Highness? If the empire encounters such a situation one day, will you also replace your father and ascend the throne?” Gu Han stared at Lu Ze as he asked word by word.

He thought that this question would stump Lu Ze, but Lu Ze didn’t care at all. He nodded and replied affirmatively, “Of course.

As long as the empire is safe and sound, as the emperor, he can enjoy a comfortable retirement. But if the empire no longer exists, even if he’s the emperor, he’s just a fallen emperor. What’s the point?”

Gu Han fell silent.

However, Lu Ze and the others were not anxious and didn’t rush him. They sat there and drank tea for a while before getting up and leaving together.

After Lin Suisui left the courtyard where Gu Han lived, she wanted to leave first. In the past two days, she had finally found a way to remove the voodoo, so she naturally didn’t intend to delay things. She was in a hurry to fiddle with her herbs again.

However, before she could take two to three steps, Lu Ze reached out and pulled her back. She looked at Lu Ze in confusion as she asked in a low voice, “Don’t you have something to discuss?”

Then why would she go?

“Didn’t you say that you were going to see Mrs. Luo and the others later?” Lu Ze met Lin Suisui’s surprised gaze and said in a low voice, “I’ll accompany you.”

“But…”

Before Lin Suisui could react, Lu Ze pulled her back. “Mr. Pei can handle the rest. There’s no need to continue wasting time here.”

Pei Qian reached out to stop them, but before he could speak, Lu Ze had already pulled Lin Suisui away. He couldn’t help but sneer, but he wasn’t angry. He knew where they were going next anyway.

Thinking of this, Pei Qian didn’t worry anymore. He turned around with his hands behind his back and walked back slowly.

“When did I say I was going to Mrs. Luo’s place?” As Lin Suisui was pulled by Lu Ze, she couldn’t help but ask Lu Ze.

“I planned to take you out for a walk today.” Lu Ze rubbed the top of Lin Suisui’s head calmly and chuckled. “You’ve been cooped up at home recently, so you should go out and relax.”

“But I think we’re still a little short of concocting the antidote. Why don’t…” If possible, Lin Suisui wanted to concoct the antidote now.

However, Lu Ze didn’t agree with Lin Suisui and pulled her into the courtyard. “There’s no hurry. I’ve booked a private room at Drunken Jade Restaurant. It serves your favorite Drunken Shrimp Pot.”

Cloud Mountain City wasn’t close to the sea, and there were no lakes or rivers to rely on, so fresh seafood became a rarity.

Lin Suisui liked seafood very much. Although she restrained her cravings after discovering that these dishes were rare in Cloud Mountain City, Lu Ze still noticed.

Therefore, he would secretly prepare it for Lin Suisui. For example, if there were seafood dishes in the restaurant outside, he would bring Lin Suisui over to satisfy her cravings.

The temptation of delicious food was irresistible.

Lin Suisui didn’t refuse anymore. After she returned to her room to change, she went out with Lu Ze happily.

When Pei Qian came over angrily, Lu Ze was peeling the last shrimp for Lin Suisui. He wasn’t surprised to see Pei Qian enter. He picked up a handkerchief at the side and said to him as he slowly wiped his hands, “There are still two dishes that haven’t been served. You came at the right time.”

“Do you have to be so stingy?!” Pei Qian glanced at the empty fresh shrimp pot. It was obvious why Lu Ze had sent him away.

Although this place was quite expensive, there was no need to hide it!

“What do you plan to do about the northern barbarians this time?” Lu Ze ignored Pei Qian’s nagging and poured himself a glass of wine before asking Pei Qian, who had already taken his seat.

They had been plotting this since they arrived in the northern region and discovered the northern barbarians’ movements.

Compared to Gu Han, Zadeh was actually easier to deal with.

Although he was more cunning and crueler than Gu Han, he was more conceited and arrogant. Because of his incomplete understanding of himself, he had always believed that he was the leader who could lead the northern barbarian army and sweep through the entire empire!

Therefore, he had long become dissatisfied with the suppression of his old father.

As for them, they just took advantage of the situation and gave King Zadeh some encouragement. Then, he actually attacked Sr. Khan.

Actually, the reason for this arrangement was that both Lu Ze and Pei Qian had the same understanding.

No matter what, there couldn’t be a unified northern barbarian empire.

With this battle for the throne, even if they sent Gu Han back to the Imperial Court and asked him to kick King Zadeh out of power, it would take at least a few years for him to tame the entire Imperial Court.

These few years were enough for the empire.

At that time, who knew how many unforeseen events there would be?!

However, in order for all of this to be successfully implemented, he or Pei Qian had to personally bring people to infiltrate the Imperial Court. This was an extremely risky mission, so Lu Ze decided to go personally.

“I’ll go.” Without Lu Ze mentioning it, Pei Qian already understood his plan. He glanced at Lu Ze unhappily and finished the wine in his glass. Then, he said, “Lead the army and be on guard. If anything goes wrong, use the second plan we agreed on previously. We’ll mobilize the Imperial Court and beat up the northern barbarians first.”

We’ll kill him while he’s unprepared!

Although doing so would deepen the northern barbarians’ hatred for the empire and might even cause war, if they didn’t take this opportunity to attack the northern barbarians, should they wait until King Zadeh seized the throne and stabilized the northern barbarians before fighting them?

“I have some ties with Gu Han. With this relationship, even if he wants to attack, he’ll at least leave some leeway. It’s safer than you, the crown prince, going over..”
