177 King Gu Han, May I Ask Your Future Princess Consort’s Name?

“You still haven’t given up on your delusions.” King Gu Han took a sip of wine and almost spat it out when he heard Lin Suisui’s words. He stared at Lin Suisui in dismay. “Tsk, do you really want your husband to save you?!

“Then have you ever thought about how your husband will treat you even if he saves you?!”

It wasn’t that he had not seen women who had been saved before.

Previously, most of the women who thought that they had been abused by the northern barbarians didn’t survive after returning to the empire!

They desperately wanted to return to their hometown, but the people who sent them to their deaths were mostly their father, brothers, and husbands…

“Perhaps if you struggle to survive like this, you’ll only end up with a cup of poisonous wine when you go back. Those people won’t even give you a grave. You’ll just be wrapped in a straw mat and thrown into the mass grave!”

King Gu Han seemed to have thought of something. When he said this, his eyes clearly revealed a hint of sadness.

His former best friend had fallen in love with a woman who had been abducted from the empire. That woman was doted on by him, but that woman was bent on escaping.

In the end, the woman really succeeded. She successfully found a caravan and hid inside before escaping back to the border.

After his buddy chased after them into the border and went to the young lady’s hometown to ask, he found out that the young lady he had once favored had actually been drowned by her clansmen on the third day after returning to her hometown…

“You’re a smart person. You naturally understand the pros and cons!”

Seeing that Lin Suisui was silent, King Gu Han continued, “So, you should return to the northern barbarians with me! Marry me, and I’ll protect you in the future. How about that?!”

“I’ll repeat the same thing again. Bring me out of the border first!” Lin Suisui looked up at King Gu Han with a smile. “Otherwise, no matter how nice the promise you give me now is, it’s just empty talk!”

“You mean that as long as I can successfully bring you back to the northern barbarians, you’ll agree to marry me?!” King Gu Han’s focus of attention was always different from that of others.

Lin Suisui resisted the urge to roll her eyes as she put away the wheat biscuit in her hand. Then, she closed her eyes and ignored him.

She was mentally exhausted.

“Hey, don’t sleep yet. Let me ask you, did you mean that just now?!”

At this moment, King Gu Han’s imagination was running wild. How could he leave so easily?! He simply reached out and pushed Lin Suisui’s arm, as if he wouldn’t stop until he got an answer. “Haven’t you people always said that you keep your word? Since you said it, you can’t deny it!”

“Who said I won’t admit it?!” Lin Suisui was so annoyed by him that the veins on her forehead twitched. She was already exhausted from the journey!

If she didn’t think of a way to rest quickly, she probably wouldn’t be able to last another two days, let alone go to the Imperial Court!

She only wanted to chase him away now. She waved her hand impatiently as she said, “Yes, as long as you can successfully bring me to your Imperial Court, I’ll marry you!”

This wasn’t because Lin Suisui had great confidence in Lu Ze, but because she trusted herself!

Anyway, so what if they successfully left the border today and entered the grassland?! There was still a long way to go to the northern barbarian Imperial Court! In between, she could find a way to escape.

After obtaining the answer he wanted, King Gu Han finally stopped!

He didn’t disturb Lin Suisui’s rest anymore. Instead, he stood up and discussed the next route and way out of seclusion with his subordinates in a very good mood.

As long as they crossed this mountain and left through the border in the valley behind, after traveling for about a day, they would be completely in the grassland!

When they reached the grassland, no matter how powerful the scouts behind them were, he believed that it wouldn’t be easy to track their whereabouts!

Then, when he returned to the Imperial Court, he could report to his father and prepare for his wedding!

The arrangement that King Gu Han had thought of was really perfect, but the premise was that everything went smoothly and no accidents happened, for example, the obstruction he was worried about didn’t appear, and the pursuers behind didn’t catch up!

Unfortunately, before they could set off again, they were blocked by cavalrymen from the forest on both sides.

There were only 50 to 60 people under King Gu Han!

However, there were more than 200 to 300 light cavalry in front of them.

Before King Gu Han could react, the sound of hooves swept over from behind them. When he turned around, as he expected, the person in the lead was the person who had shot him in the shoulder when he had just kidnapped the woman!

“Give me back my wife!”

Lu Ze’s cold gaze swept across King Gu Han and landed steadily on Lin Suisui, who was being held hostage in front of him.

Most of the little girl’s face was wrapped in his cloak, only revealing her eyes. She still looked charming, but she also looked a little tired.

Damn King Gu Han!

“If you let her go, I can let you and your buddies live and leave here safely!” After all, Lin Suisui was now in the hands of King Gu Han, so Lu Ze had to compromise for the time being.

Of course, there was another important reason. King Gu Han’s status in the northern barbarians was very special. He was the favorite son of the northern barbarians’ Khan.

Now that Khan was old and sick, there was a chance of fighting for the throne. King Gu Han was one, and his brother, King Lamir, was another. The remaining sons of Khan had no chance of fighting against the two factions!

If he really eliminated King Gu Han here now, it would be equivalent to clearing the way for his brother, King Lamir!

A unified northern barbarian kingdom without any disputes wasn’t the outcome that the empire wanted!

“Your wife?! Stop talking nonsense. She has already agreed to be my consort!” King GuHan raised his eyebrows. Although he was already surrounded, this man was still unwilling to admit defeat. He was already surrounded, but he was still acting so stubborn and annoying!

“You said that she agreed to be your consort?! Then may I ask, what’s your future consort’s name?!” Lu Ze tightened his grip on the reins. In the blink of an eye, he slowly loosened his grip again and stared at King Gu Han as he spoke coldly.
