“An Duo, your reaction is really surprising.” Lu Ze couldn’t help but laugh after hearing An Duo’s suggestion.
Compared to Lin Suisui, Lu Ze understood An Duo’s intentions better.
Still, there was nothing wrong with the suggestion.
In order to better understand and control the situation, Lu Ze had never given up on planting moles among the northern barbarians.
After so many years of development, there was already a considerable number of spies among the northern barbarians.
However, the location of these moles was very hidden. At the same time, their status in the northern barbarians wasn’t high, so they could only provide information and couldn’t affect the overall development.
Therefore, when Lu Ze came to cooperate with Gu Han this time, he also had other plans, such as finding a more useful ally.
And now, a potential ally had appeared.
In terms of status, An Duo was very suitable. To the northern barbarians, An Duo was sometimes even more influential than those nobles with military power!
The rest would depend on An Duo’s attitude and performance.
Lu Ze had a plan in mind, so his attitude towards An Duo became more scrutinizing and probing.
“There’s nothing strange about that. There’s a saying in the empire: ‘A wise man submits to circumstances.’ My life is in the hands of the ‘Goddess’ to begin with, and I don’t have the ability to resist. In that case, I definitely have to choose the path that’s most beneficial to me.
Moreover, your current plan is actually an excellent opportunity for me.
“People are ambitious. If there’s a chance, who doesn’t want to climb up the ranks?”
An Duo had no intention of hiding his ambitions and desires. After all, it was useless to hide such things.
After he stated his plan very frankly, he seemed more reliable.
“But this isn’t without risk. Aren’t you worried at all?” When Lin Suisui heard An Duo’s thoughts, she couldn’t help but widen her eyes in surprise and she looked at An Duo in dismay.
After all, this was the first time she had encountered a shaman like An Duo, who was still in the mood to consider his ambition even under the threat of death and used his current situation to obtain the greatest benefits for himself.
“Hch, in my current situation, I’m already on the verge of death. It’s said that wealth comes from danger. If I can gain your trust, I can rise up. If not, I’ll be dead meat either way, so I won’t lose out.”
ShamanAn Duo was very open-minded about this.
He chuckled as he bowed to Lin Suisui and Lu Ze respectfully. Then, he said, “Don’t worry, I promise that I won’t be disloyal. I’ll definitely cooperate with your plan.
As for the future, the two of you can quietly observe my attitude and decide whether I’m qualified to cooperate with the two of you over the long term.”
“Then let’s take it one step at a time.” Lu Ze smiled. He didn’t give a clear answer, but he didn’t reject him directly.
In terms of understanding the northern barbarians, even Lin Suisui and Lu Ze, who were prepared, were definitely inferior to shaman An Duo.
Lu Ze didn’t hide anything and simply asked shaman An Duo for the most suitable time to go to the Imperial Court.
“Actually, returning with the Erlun Tribe along the way isn’t a bad idea, but if you want to expand your influence, it’s best not to miss the harvest festival.”
After An Duo thought about it for a moment, he suggested with certainty, “The northern barbarians’ annual harvest festival will be in seven days.
It’ll last for about ten days. This period of time will be the busiest inside and outside the Imperial Court. There would be wrestling, sacrificial rituals, and other activities around the Imperial Court as people pray to the gods for a smooth-sailing new year.
During this period of time, there were countless ceremonies.
“I also hold a Spiritual Conference every year during this period. If you can display your divine power during this period of time, the impact will definitely be shocking.”
This was what Lu Ze had told Lin Suisui previously.
Lin Suisui remained calm and asked An Duo some more questions before letting him leave.
After An Duo left, Lu Ze told Lin Suisui the results of his discussion with Mo Enze, Gu Han, and the others. Then, he said, “We also want to use the Harvest Festival as an opportunity to rush to the vicinity of the Imperial Court.”
“But I’m sure Nina will expect us to use the Harvest Festival as an opportunity.”
After Lin Suisui thought about it carefully, she was still a little worried.
The best opportunity they could think of was naturally the same for others. Therefore, this trip was a risky opportunity.
“Yes, so this trip is very dangerous. You have to be careful.” Lu Ze rubbed the top of Lin Suisui’s head gently and didn’t forget to instruct her, “When the time comes, come with me. No matter where you go, don’t be alone.”
Lin Suisui nodded repeatedly. She naturally wouldn’t refuse Lu Ze.
She knew her own strength. At this moment, what she needed to do was to listen to all the arrangements and not cause trouble.
Therefore, when they set off the next afternoon, Lin Suisui rejected Mo Enze’s suggestion to let her sit in the same carriage as Consort Molevin.
After all, Consort Molevin still had two children by her side, so she would naturally feel more at ease with the children along the way. As for her physical condition, they could just stop the carriage and let her check if anything happened.
Upon hearing Lin Suisui’s arrangements, Mo Enze didn’t force her anymore. Instead, he followed Lin Suisui’s instructions and let her sit in the carriage at the back with Lu Ze.
Gu Han knew that it was impossible for Lin Suisui and the others to change their minds at this moment, so while he arranged for a pair of guards to protect them, he solemnly promised Lu Ze and the others that he would definitely rush to the Imperial Court to meet them before the harvest festival ended.
Hearing King Gu’s promise, Lu Ze smiled, but his response was very cold. “You’d better remember the promise you made now. You know that time waits for no one.
If you don’t appear on that day, don’t blame me for making the decision on my own and replacing you with someone else..”
