After discovering that her instructions had angered the public, Nina quickly made changes. In the name of Zadeh, she announced that the Harvest Festival would continue, but on this basis, she added another rule, which was to ask the people to pray for Sr. Khan’s safety and wellbeing.
Compared to the previous arrangements, this one seemed much more reasonable.
“Someone from the Imperial Court has informed us that we shamans are to enter the golden tent to preside over the prayer ceremony the next day.”
After receiving the news from the Imperial Court, An Duo rushed over almost immediately to report to Lin Suisui.
An Duo instinctively felt that something was wrong with this arrangement.
It wasn’t that he had not been to the Golden Tent before. Previously, when he didn’t know Nina’s identity, he already felt that something was wrong. Now that he knew Nina’s identity, he felt that the Imperial Court’s arrangement was targeted at them.
Therefore, when he faced Lin Suisui, he didn’t hide his worry at all.
However, compared to the extremely nervous An Duo, Lin Suisui was very calm. She wrapped the herbs in her hand as she replied to An Duo, “This isn’t difficult to guess. Since Nina was able to control the entire Imperial Court in such a short period of time after entering the northern barbarians, it’s obvious that she’s not stupid.
She already knows of my existence and that Gu Han is gathering the strength of the other tribes. After the assassination attempt against the Erlun Tribe failed, she probably guessed that we would use this harvest festival to approach the Imperial Court.
She probably had limited manpower in the Imperial Court now, so previously, she thought of banning the Harvest Festival celebration once and for all.
However, after discovering that this didn’t work, she thought of using the limited power in her hands in the most efficient way as possible.”
“That’s true, but won’t we fall into that concubine’s trap this time?” When An Duo heard Lin Suisui’s words, although he felt that her analysis made sense, shouldn’t they be in a hurry to think of a solution?
Why didn’t this ‘Goddess’ seem anxious at all?
“An Duo, since you know about our empire, you should know that our empire has another saying. It’s called beating people at their own game.”
Lin Suisui smiled as she said to An Duo confidently, “Don’t worry, shaman. All of this is within our expectations. You just have to follow the arrangements, which will guarantee your safety.”
“Then what should I do now?” After hearing Lin Suisui’s guarantee, An Duo heaved a sigh of relief. However, there was still no solution to the urgent matter at hand, which made him a little anxious.
“Just respond accordingly.” Lin Suisui looked at An Duo as she instructed in a low voice, “There’s no need to think about anything else. Plans will never keep up with the changes in this world. At that time, we’ll have to decide what to do again.”
As expected, Lin Suisui encountered an unforeseen event before the Harvest Festival.
All of this had to start with a group of uninvited guests who had suddenly entered the Erlun Tribe.
The territory of the Erlun Tribe wasn’t small. Because the surroundings had always been safe and there were no major dangers, sometimes, the children of the tribe would ride horses to the surroundings to play.
However, to everyone’s surprise, the usually docile horse suddenly went crazy and carried Mo Enze’s eight-year-old daughter, Ge Lan, as it ran crazily. At that time, a caravan happened to pass by. The young man in the lead rushed forward bravely and saved Ge Lan, who was completely frightened.
While the adults who came after hearing the news were lecturing the children for being insensible and running out without telling the adults, they were also very grateful to the caravan that happened to pass by and save Ge Lan. With the harvest festival imminent, they naturally invited them into the Erlun Tribe as guests.
The tribes living on the grassland were already used to the caravans coming and going.
When they saw these unfamiliar guests this time and heard that they had saved the children of their clan when they passed by, they naturally felt grateful to them.
It had only been about half a day, but they were already getting along very well.
“From what I see, the people in this caravan are not as simple as they seem.” Bai Guo reported the information she had obtained to Lin Suisui in a low voice. At the same time, she didn’t forget to tell Lin Suisui the results of her observation of the group of people. “They seem to be martial artists. Some of them are quite strong.
With such martial arts skills, they don’t seem like an ordinary caravan at all.
Moreover, just now, I secretly listened to those people communicate with the others in the clan. Although they spoke the empire’s official language very fluently, from their faint accent, they didn’t sound like people from our empire’s Weinan region.
“Also, from some of their habits, such as the way they sit, they look more like the Siamese people from the south.”
Their legs were at their sides, unlike how people from their empire sat.
“Can you report this to Lu Ze?” Lin Suisui stopped flipping through the book and looked up with a serious expression.
“I’ve already reported it.” Bai Guo nodded. She didn’t dare to hide such a thing. She immediately told Su Le to report it to Lu Ze.
While Lin Suisui was talking to Bai Guo, Lu Ze had already picked the curtain and walked in.
Seeing Lu Ze come over, Bai Guo quickly bowed to him respectfully and left.
“Bai Guo has already told you?” After Lu Ze came over and sat down beside Lin Suisui, he stopped her from getting up.
“I did. From what she said, this so-called ‘caravan’ probably came prepared.” Lin Suisui frowned. These people came at such a coincidental time!
But how could there be so many coincidences in this world?
“They have ties to the Siamese Kingdom.” Lu Ze already had a rough judgment and idea after hearing Bai Guo’s report. Although this change had happened very suddenly, they were not completely unprepared.
“Either Nina arranged people to infiltrate the Erlun Tribe to find out the truth, or Siam sent reinforcements after receiving news of the northern barbarians’ situation.
No matter what, we’ve encountered them now. We definitely can’t avoid it, so I’ve already asked Su Qi to look for Mo Enze in private and remind him of the suspicious points about this caravan. Let’s wait for Mo Enze’s decision for the time being..”
