Chapter 424: Setback

“I know the empire’s rules. When mentors accept disciples, they have to pay tuition.”

Seeing that Lin Suisui didn’t speak, Gu Han seized the chance to offer another condition that both Lin Suisui and Lu Ze couldn’t refuse. “How about this? If you accept me, I’ll send a hundred superior-class horses to the empire.”

“… Are you serious?”

It had to be said that Gu Han’s condition was too tempting. After Lin Suisui glanced at Lu Ze, she quickly understood what he was thinking, but she still didn’t show any joy. Instead, she looked at Gu Han calmly as she asked again,

“Of course,” Gu Han replied firmly.

The people of the empire weren’t good at raising horses, so to them, a hundred superior-class horses were very rare. However, the northern barbarians didn’t lack horses, cattle, or sheep!

Compared to the decreasing number of clansmen, a few horses were nothing!

…..

This was a mutually beneficial deal!

“I don’t want to hide it from you. Do you really think that the northern barbarians haven’t had wars and conflicts with the empire all these years just because of my father?

Actually, no.

The main reason was that we don’t have enough troops.

A few years ago, there was a locust plague after the drought. After the locust plague, there was a blizzard. After that, there was a large-scale plague on the grassland. Many herdsmen and livestock in the tribes died in just a few days.

I had once made a similar suggestion to my father, but it was rejected by Zadeh.

Now, since you guys said that you want me to become the new ruler of the northern barbarians in the future, I’ll definitely want to make the lives of those ordinary northern barbarians better as soon as possible.”

Gu Han’s idea was very surprising.

Lin Suisui stared at Gu Han in shock for a long time, as if this was the first time she had seen him. Then, she said, “You mean that when I impart my medical skills to your clansmen in the future and help your clan strengthen, you guys will attack the empire and become our greatest threat?”

“But haven’t the doctors of the empire always said that all living beings are equal and that everyone is a patient in your eyes?” Gu Han asked. Actually, he regretted what he had just said, but now that he had said it, it was definitely too late for him to regret it.

Therefore, he still looked at Lin Suisui with the last shred of hope and argued with a pleading expression, “Madam Liu, you’re such a strong and outstanding doctor. You can’t possibly watch those herders die in pain after contracting the disease, right?”

“When doctors treat patients, they treat them equally. Although patients are equal, doctors have a belonging. For example, I’m from the empire, so I’m definitely unwilling to help an enemy.”

Lin Suisui wasn’t angry. She simply explained the truth calmly, “But what you said makes sense. How about this? I have a few simple prescriptions. The herbs can all be found on the grassland.

These might not work for serious illnesses, but they’re more than enough to help treat fevers and such.

I can ask if anyone in the tribe is willing to learn it. If there is, I’ll teach them. After I leave in the future, they should be able to deal with simple illnesses in the tribe.

As for the rest, you can discuss it with my husband in detail after this matter is over.”

Lin Suisui’s words were very vague yet reasonable.

After all, Gu Han, wasn’t Sr. Khan of the northern barbarians yet. He had yet to obtain the throne that represented the highest authority for the northern barbarians, so everything he said was empty talk.

Gu Han seemed to have sensed this, so he smiled at Lin Suisui in embarrassment. As he thanked her for helping, he also knew that it was indeed too early for him to say these words.

If he couldn’t get that position, all his plans would probably be in vain.

However, he didn’t expect Lin Suisui to be willing to teach his clansmen medicine right now.

As Gu Han thanked Lin Suisui, he whispered that his previous promise was definitely still effective. As if he was worried that Lu Ze and Lin Suisui would be worried, he quickly added, “I’ll pay for the expenses this time!

Even if I’m not rich, I can afford a few hundred superior-class horses.

At the very least, I won’t let you work for nothing, Madam Liu.”

Although Gu Han had a good idea, it wasn’t easy to implement it. Of course, what surprised Gu Han the most was that the greatest obstacle came from Mo Rigen.

“I actually don’t mean anything else. I just don’t think this is beneficial.” Mo Rigen frowned as he told Gu Han his reason for refusing.

“Previously, the shaman said that those are all hardships bestowed by the heavens. They’re the sins we have to atone for!

“The physical pain is only temporary. We’re actually atoning for our sins by suffering! Now, you’re telling me that we have to use the grass and leaves we found on the grassland to relieve the pain of our sins. Don’t you think that’s blasphemy?”

Mo Rigen glanced in the direction of the tent where Lin Suisui lived and hesitated for a moment before continuing, “Besides, aren’t you afraid that the Goddess will be angry?”

After this afternoon’s incident, Mo Rigen had basically confirmed Lin Suisui’s identity.

Therefore, at this moment, he was even more concerned about Lin Suisui’s attitude and feelings than those of Gu Han. After all, the reason they wanted to oust Zadeh was the existence and guidance of the goddess.

However, if Gu Han did something that the Goddess couldn’t tolerate, would they be abandoned by the Goddess and punished by the heavens?

Gu Han looked at Mo Rigen, who was frowning while trying his best to persuade him. He suddenly remembered what Lin Suisui had said to him when he had decided to come over to discuss this matter with Mo Rigen first.

She said that if he encountered Mo Rigen’s objection, use the blessing of Tengri to persuade him.

What did he say at that time?

At that time, he told Lin Suisui confidently that his brother would definitely support his decision fully!

However, reality proved him wrong..
