“Yes.” Lu Ze nodded as he told her about the past calmly. Lin Suisui’s eyes lit up with interest. Seeing that she was interested in this topic, Lu Ze explained the trivial matters in more detail.
“You guys usually relied on the stars in the sky to determine the direction in the grassland, but what if it was cloudy or raining that day?”
Lin Suisui admired Lu Ze’s ability to rely on the stars in the sky to determine the direction, but although she admired him, she still had questions.
There would be different weather on the grassland every day. In such weather, when they returned, the sky would definitely be filled with stars.
But what if it was cloudy and rainy?
They couldn’t just sit down and waste time waiting!
“Traveling on the grassland when it rains is not convenient.” Lu Ze explained to Lin Suisui very patiently, “When we sent troops, we also took a good look at the weather and avoided the rainy season on the grassland.
The rainy season is not suitable for marching on the grassland.”
At this point, Lu Ze raised his hand and pointed at a lush vegetation not far away as he said to Lin Suisui, “The grassland looks calm now, but there are actually many hidden dangers.
It’s very likely that there’s a swamp hidden in those low-lying places. If people go over, they’ll fall into it and find it difficult to escape.”
While listening to Lu Ze explain what he had experienced on this grassland bit by bit, Lin Suisui’s initial shock was replaced by heartache.
Not only did she pity Lu Ze for the hardships Lu Ze had encountered in the past, but she also admired the empire’s soldiers who had ventured deep into the grassland and might even be buried there.
If not for the sacrifices of these people, the empire wouldn’t have been able to secure the border for so many years.
“Actually, a large part of the reason the Siamese Kingdom contacted the northern barbarians was to target our empire.” Lu Ze talked about the past for a while before suddenly changing the topic to the current trouble.
“The new king of the Siamese Kingdom has only been on the throne for a few years, but he’s a ruler with power and influence. He’s only been on the throne for a few years, but he’s already conquered some small tribes around the Siamese Kingdom and integrated them under his rule.
Since he has such ambition, it’s only a matter of time before he attacks our empire.
The northern barbarians are a formidable enemy in the north. According to the principle that the enemy of an enemy is a friend, if the Siamese Kingdom joins forces with the northern barbarians and starts a war with our empire from the north and south, our empire would definitely face difficulties in dealing with both sides.
That will be the best opportunity for them to take advantage of the situation.”
“The Siamese people had everything planned out, but they didn’t expect Gu Han to choose to ask us for help in this battle for power.”
After Lu Ze’s reminder, Lin Suisui understood the key point without much effort.
If Gu Han had not come to Cloud Mountain City to look for her and Lu Ze and ask them for help, the princess of Siam would definitely have had enough time and energy to plan out everything. When she really took control of the northern barbarians and cooperated with the Siamese Kingdom, the empire might really fall into an unprecedented crisis…
“That’s right. They definitely didn’t expect that Gu Han would choose to trust us at such a critical moment.”
Lu Ze was silent for a long time before saying slowly.
If they had not met Gu Han on the way, Gu Han probably wouldn’t have thought of them when he encountered trouble this time. Then, it was naturally impossible for them to find out the truth behind the chaos in the northern barbarian Imperial Court.
Or, even if they found out later on, it was definitely impossible for them to have the upper hand like now.
“In that case, don’t worry too much about it.” Lin Suisui turned her head and looked at the solemn Lu Ze as she coaxed him gently, “You’ve always advised me not to worry too much about it, so why are you so stubborn when it’s your turn?”
“You’re right. We should think positively.” Lu Ze lowered his eyes and rubbed Lin Suisui’s forehead gently. Then, he said in a low voice, “Suisui, my good luck is actually you…”
Lin Suisui felt that Lu Ze had been acting a little strange for the past two days, especially now.
However, she didn’t think too much about it. She only thought that Lu Ze was still afraid about the impact this matter would have if he didn’t discover it. Therefore, when she heard Lu Ze say this, she was a little embarrassed and complained with a blush, but she didn’t push Lu Ze away.
The two of them rode outside until the moonlight appeared before returning to the camp.
It was unknown how Gu Han and Mo Rigen convinced the three tribal leaders, but by the time Lu Ze brought Lin Suisui back to the bonfire and sat down, those people had already changed from their previous cold expressions to drinking and chatting amiably.
Lu Ze and Lin Suisui didn’t participate in their conversation, but just because they didn’t participate didn’t mean that the tribal leaders wouldn’t notice.
They had heard about the legend of the Goddess when they came over, so when they saw Lin Suisui at this moment, they naturally knew her identity.
An Duo had probably already made some arrangements previously, so at this moment, the tribal leaders were very polite and respectful to her.
Lin Suisui’s attitude was also very gentle. She wasn’t as high and mighty as they had expected. This made the tribal leaders feel a little flattered. Thinking of the various miracles they had heard about this goddess from the surrounding people previously, the reverence on their faces intensified. They didn’t dare to be disrespectful to her at all.
Although the tribal leaders in front of her were respectful to her, Lin Suisui didn’t stop there. She seized the opportunity to show the “miracle” of the fireflies gathering again.
Actually, Lin Suisui wasn’t deliberately showing off, but in order to cooperate with An Duo, she still had to put in some effort.
As expected, with An Duo adding fuel to the fire, the effect was much more effective than before.
Therefore, when the other group of tribal leaders rushed over the next day, without Gu Han and the others persuading them, the tribal leaders had already spoken up and told them about what they had seen last night…
After this, things became much simpler. At least in terms of winning people over, they were successful..
