“This was suggested by the Goddess.”
Gu Han swallowed hard. Although they were unwilling to admit it, the truth was that using Lin Suisui’s identity as a cover was really very useful.
At the very least, it was much more effective than his explanation.
Mo Rigen was originally rejecting him with a serious expression, but now that he mentioned that this was Lin Suisui’s idea, Mo Rigen’s attitude instantly softened.
“Is it really the Goddess’s idea?” Mo Rigen looked at Gu Han worriedly and asked.
It wasn’t that he didn’t trust his brother, but the person in front of him was really unreliable. He had tricked him more than once previously, so he didn’t dare to be careless.
“Why don’t you ask the goddess?” Gu Han looked at Mo Rigen with pain. “Am I that untrustworthy to you?”
“I think it’s better to be careful.” Mo Rigen didn’t answer Gu Han’s question directly. He just turned around and coughed in an attempt to brush things over. “So you don’t believe me?” Gu Han grabbed Mo Rigen’s lapel and said angrily, “I’m your good buddy!”
“That’s right. If I hadn’t treated you as a good buddy, would I have let you enter my tribe again?” Mo Rigen was quite indignant about Gu Han’s accusation. “Think about it. How many times have you tricked me in the past?!
Yes, I admit that you’re right, but this is all for the sake of our tribe.
But what was the use?
Are your father, your brothers, and the nobles of the Imperial Court willing to accept your actions?”
At this point, Mo Rigen remembered some past memories that he was unwilling to delve into. He sighed softly and was silent for a long time before saying, “I know that this will hurt your feelings, but you know that there are some things that can’t be rushed.”
“I’m sorry. I was too hasty previously.” Gu Han looked at Mo Rigen guiltily as he apologized in a low voice. However, he quickly thought of something and asked in confusion, “However, in that case, why did you support me in finding Zadeh to seize the throne this time?”
Wasn’t that even riskier?!
“Yes, what you did in the past was indeed very unreliable. However, although this matter is dangerous, it’s the right choice.”
Mo Rigen explained his thoughts to Gu Han without hiding anything. “Although your previous ideas weren’t reliable, it wasn’t that those ideas were impossible, but that you had no way or ability to implement them.
However, if you really successfully chase Zadeh away and become the new northern barbarian Khan, your ideas might really be implemented in our northern barbarian territory.”
Mo Rigen patted Gu Han’s shoulders as he explained very seriously, “Most importantly, compared to Zadeh, I think you’ll bring less harm.”
Gu Han had naive and simple thoughts sometimes, but at least he wasn’t a bad person.
However, Zadeh was different.
He was a lunatic who only cared about killing and squandering!
If he really stabilized his position, in the future…
“Brother, did something happen?” Although Gu Han was slow-witted sometimes, he was terrifyingly sensitive about certain things.
Compared to him, who made a hasty escape previously, Mo Rigen knew more about what had happened in the Imperial Court lately.
From Mo Rigen’s current state, it was obvious that something extremely terrifying had happened in the Imperial Court while he was away!
“Zadeh controls the entire Imperial Court. According to the rumors, Sr. Khan is seriously ill, so he’s in charge of the affairs of the northern barbarians now.
His actions were naturally questioned and opposed by many people.
You might have been able to stand up to him. However, ever since you left the Imperial Court, the people who stayed behind became even weaker.
Now that the Imperial Court is under his control, as long as they dare to object to him, he…
He has already slaughtered the few nobles your father trusted the most. Even the tribesmen behind them were demoted to slaves.
In short, the entire Imperial Court is already in chaos. We, tribesmen living outside, are also frightened by this news.”
“Why didn’t you say so earlier?” When Gu Han heard Mo Rigen’s words, he was so angry that his eyes turned red. Without asking further, he knew which families Zadeh had killed.
He used to be the minister his father trusted the most!
“Therefore, you can’t cause any more trouble now.” Mo Rigen sighed as he patted Gu Han’s shoulders again and he advised earnestly, “I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you to be distracted.
“You know your temper very well. If we can’t subdue you and you rashly bring people to the Imperial Court, won’t you be bringing everyone to their deaths?!”
Gu Han turned around in frustration. After a while, he calmed down and turned to look at Mo Rigen. “Let’s go. I’ll bring you to see the Goddess.”
He didn’t want to continue on this topic. He was afraid that if he continued to ask, he would really be tempted to rush into the Imperial Court and slash Zadeh.
But that wouldn’t do.
Just as Mo Rigen had said, he was no longer alone. He couldn’t die as a result of his own recklessness. Therefore, after thinking about it, he finally decided to change the topic to divert his attention.
Mo Rigen nodded and followed Gu Han towards the tent where Lin Suisui lived.
Hearing that Mo Rigen had come to see her, Lin Suisui knew without thinking that Lu Ze’s guess must have been right. Mo Rigen didn’t support Gu Han. Instead, he objected. As for Gu Han, it was obvious that he couldn’t resolve the matter now, so he could only use his last resort—reinforcement.
“Goddess, I just want to know if Gu Han came to look for me because of your instructions.” After Mo Rigen bowed to Lin Suisui, he asked the main question for his trip..
