Chapter 448: Hesitation

“Isn’t this too risky?” Upon hearing Lu Ze’s suggestion to bring people to the Imperial Court alone, Gu Han’s first reaction was to object.
Although he didn’t object to taking the risk at some point in order to obtain victory, Lu Ze’s suggestion was really too risky.
They were unfamiliar with the northern barbarian territory, so it would probably take a lot of effort to find the Imperial Court, but they actually wanted to go over and investigate the Imperial Court first?
How was this any different from courting death?
“By the time you guys agree to set off together, you’ll probably be able to send a congratulatory gift to your newborn nephew.”
In the face of Gu Han’s worries and doubts, Lu Ze’s response was quite rude.
He had been paying attention to the situation these past few days.
After receiving Gu Han’s invitation, many tribal leaders came over. Even Consort Molevin’s father and brother received the news and rushed over with their men.
Although it seemed that their strength had increased, because there were too many people participating, everyone had their own schemes and considerations. As a result, after so many days of arguing, they still didn’t come up with a comprehensive plan that satisfied everyone.
To put it bluntly, there were too many people and not enough to satisfy everyone.
Actually, at this moment, if there was a decisive leader, things wouldn’t be so complicated. However, Gu Han wasn’t good at this. He always wanted to satisfy everyone, so he kept dragging his feet. Even though Mo Rigen was so anxious that he wanted to flip the table, Gu Han was still hesitating.
Actually, it wasn’t that Gu Han was incompetent and cowardly, but he was hindered by kindness.
Gu Han had always been a very loyal person. In his opinion, these tribal leaders owed these people a favor for bringing people from their tribe to help him at this time. Therefore, he always thought that no matter what, he couldn’t let them down.
“That’s right. They’re so noisy every day. When will it end?” Upon hearing Lu Ze’s words, Mo Rigen became angry and turned around to complain to Gu Han unhappily, “From the beginning to the end, they only talked about how much benefits they would get after the matter was completed. Who said how they were willing to contribute?”
Gu Han’s face turned red. He knew that both Lu Ze and Mo Rigen had a point, but he felt a little guilty about setting the rules without allowing others to voice their opinions.
“What are you hesitating about?” Seeing that Gu Han was silent, Mo Rigen became even angrier. “Why don’t you ask those people tomorrow and see which of them can really use the entire clan’s strength to cooperate with us to snatch back the Imperial Court?!
If they were really willing to help, there was naturally nothing to say about their future status!
But they’re the only ones who have spoken from the beginning to the end. Why should we give in to them?”
Mo Rigen felt that his suggestion was very fair!
“Moreover, just as Mr. Pei said, if we delay any longer, we won’t have to trouble ourselves anymore. Since they’ve already taken over the Imperial Court, what’s the point of going over?”
Mo Rigen was really anxious.
The seal was in Gu Han’s hands now, but the premise was that he had to establish himself first!
If this continued, it was difficult to guarantee that others wouldn’t have ulterior motives. Not to mention anything else, Consort Molevin also had a son! Now, her father and brothers had come to her side as well.
As time passed, they would have the power to support Consort Molevin’s son in the takeover. At that time, what would Gu Han have to do with the throne?
“We have our priorities.” Lin Suisui listened for a while before persuading him, “Consort Molevin is a very assertive woman.
Moreover, she has deep feelings for Zadeh. If there’s still no progress, she’ll most likely think of a way herself.”
“No matter what, it’s too dangerous for you guys to go to the Imperial Court now.
Actually, I’ve been thinking about it for the past few days. I’ve taken what you guys said just now to heart. I know that it’s my fault for delaying it for so long. I was too greedy.
“Don’t worry, I’ll resolve this matter immediately. Therefore, to be safe, I suggest that you wait a little longer. At that time, it’ll be safer for us to go to the Imperial Court together.” Gu Han finally revealed his plan to Lu Ze.
“It’s not that complicated. Suisui and I decided to go to the Imperial Court first because of the change in the situation.” Lu Ze insisted on his plan. “We’ll set off alone. If the identities of our companions are simple, we won’t attract that much attention. It’ll be relatively safer.”
“But what identity are you going to use to go to the Imperial Court?” Gu Han frowned. “You probably don’t know, but the tribes that support Zadeh are all gathering around the Imperial Court. If you go over at this time and alarm them, I’m afraid it won’t be easy to deal with the aftermath.”
“Don’t worry about that. We’ve already made plans.” Lin Suisui smiled as she revealed their arrangements, “We plan to set off with An Duo. With his help, I believe we won’t encounter much trouble along the way.”
“Can An Duo be trusted?” When Gu Han heard Lin Suisui’s arrangements, not only did he not heave a sigh of relief, but he also became even more nervous.
Others might not know, but he knew.
An Duo was an unscrupulous villain!
“That’s right. Shaman An Duo is not a good person!” For once, Mo Rigen stood on Gu Han’s side regarding this matter. “The evil things he did previously are simply innumerable!”
“Don’t worry about that. He won’t have a chance to betray us.” Lin Suisui smiled. She had absolute confidence in controlling An Duo. “Unless he really doesn’t want to live anymore.”
Although Mo Rigen was still a little worried, seeing how confident Lin Suisui was, he couldn’t say anything else.
“Of course.” Ever since Lin Suisui subdued An Duo that day, she had never let down her guard against him. There had naturally been many small conflicts that others didn’t know about. Now, An Duo listened to her every word. Actually, it was because he had no choice but to lower his head after suffering so many losses.
Just as Gu Han was wondering if he should dissuade Lu Ze and Lin Suisui again, a panicked cry for help suddenly came from outside…
