Although Lin Suisui downplayed it, Lu Ze didn’t dare to be careless. He asked Bai Guo to invite the medical officer over to take Lin Suisui’s pulse. After confirming that there wasn’thing serious, he asked the medical officer and the others to leave.
After Bai Guo and the others left, Lu Ze walked back and sat by Lin Suisui’s bed. He looked down at her worriedly as he asked, “I asked Bai Guo to brew the calming medicine. You must have been tired these past few days, so take the medicine later and rest well.”
At the thought of the reason for this trip, Lu Ze couldn’t help but blame himself. After all, if not for him, she wouldn’t have had to travel so far and suffer so much.
“Don’t worry too much about it. I’m really fine.” Lin Suisui noticed that Lu Ze was in a bad mood, so she comforted him in a low voice. “I just thought about something, so I’m probably worried.”
In order to reassure Lu Ze, Lin Suisui even briefly explained what she had just thought to him. However, Lu Ze’s expression became even uglier.
“No matter what happens in the future, you have to prioritize your own safety!” Lu Ze pulled Lin Suisui into his arms. He used so much strength that it seemed like he wanted to embed her entire body into his.
Just as Lin Suisui couldn’t take it anymore and wanted to struggle a little, Lu Ze finally let go and looked down at her with unprecedented seriousness.
He instructed word by word, “No matter what, nothing is as important as your safety! Remember!”
“But…”
Lin Suisui wanted to struggle again, but before she could say anything, Lu Ze interrupted her, “No buts!”
Although she didn’t know why Lu Ze was so persistent on this matter, since he insisted, Lin Suisui didn’t continue to argue with him. She could feel Lu Ze’s tension. His worries were actually all because of her.
There was no need for her to continue provoking him.
With Lin Suisui’s comfort, although Lu Ze was still a little tense, he was much more relaxed than before.
Since the Harvest Festival was about to begin, Lu Ze originally planned to use these people who clearly had ulterior motives to lure out the mastermind. However, after today’s incident, he was no longer in the mood to continue acting with them.
At night, Lu Ze made his move.
The smell of blood naturally couldn’t be hidden from Mo Enze. When he rushed over with the warriors of the Erlun Tribe, he only saw corpses on the ground.
As for the man who had always spoken to him gently and seemed to have a good temper, he looked like a demon. The look he cast when he sheathed his blood-stained sword made Mo Enze, who had seen massacres before, shiver.
“You guys…” Mo Enze wanted to ask Lu Ze the truth, but he realized that he didn’t know how to ask.
He sighed and swallowed the question that was on the tip of his tongue. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, “Did anyone escape?”
“A few escaped.” Lu Ze threw the handkerchief he had wiped his fingers with to the ground and turned to look at Mo Enze. “The two leaders left the tent in disguise before the sky darkened.”
Smart people wouldn’t stay and wait for death when they knew that they had been exposed.
“Then I’ll immediately order the entrance to be sealed!”
Mo Enze frowned. Without thinking, he instinctively turned around to give the order, but Lu Ze stopped him. “There’s no need. They must have left the Erlun Tribe long ago.”
He wanted to take these people by surprise, but he was still a step too late.
In that case, he had to speed up the rest of the arrangements!
When Lu Ze told Mo Enze about his decision to bring everything forward, Mo Enze nodded in agreement.
Everything was arranged in an orderly manner, but Heka and the others, who had escaped from the Erlun Tribe, were not so relaxed.
Heka’s expression was extremely ugly. He had been instructed by the eldest prince to come and help Nina.
They had the same status, but now, he was under Nina’s command. How could he accept that?!
Therefore, he wanted to find an opportunity to strike first and see if he could resolve the crisis they needed to face in the northern barbarians.
Everything was thought out, but when it was really implemented, they didn’t expect to encounter such an unexpected turn of events. Not only did they accidentally expose their identities and motives, but they also lost more than half of their men. They had no choice but to escape to the Imperial Court to seek protection from Nina!
How embarrassing!
Heka was so angry that he urged the horse under him so that it could run faster. If those people from the Erlun Tribe behind him discovered them, they might not have a chance of escaping the encirclement of those pursuers and reaching the Imperial Court safely.
Heka’s most trusted subordinates and the dozen-odd guards were following closely behind.
He could abandon the others, but he couldn’t abandon these people.
If that was the case, even if he escaped into the Imperial Court to meet Nina, what was the difference between him and a tiger with its teeth pulled out?
As he cursed his bad luck, he began to think about what to do after arriving at the Imperial Court safely.
It was definitely impossible for him to sit back and wait for death!
It was impossible for him to completely submit to Nina! At most, he would submit to her for the time being and think of a way to fight back!
This place was far from Siam anyway, so he had enough patience and means to take everything he wanted from Nina!
For example, power. For example…
Heka was so engrossed in thinking about the future that he didn’t notice the arrows that were flying towards them like meteors from not far away…
When he came back to his senses, three of his companions had already fallen off the galloping horse. They had already lost their lives.
“There’s an ambush!” The guard beside Heka quickly drew the machete at his waist and tightened the reins to control his horsemanship to protect him as he looked for cover.
However, on this vast grassland, where was he going to find cover to avoid the arrows?
During this moment of hesitation, two more of their companions fell.
It was also at this moment that Heka and the others realized in shock that the other party’s archery skills were very accurate.. The two of them were killed in one hit!
