Chapter 458: Erlun Tribe
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As a shadow guard, anything could happen when one was carrying out a mission outside.
As a shadow guard, Ting Nuo could actually understand some of Shixin’s actions. From the day they were chosen to enter the secret camp, they had already lost the right to live like normal people.
She had long resigned herself to this reality.
But Shixin was different.
She had not lost her ambition. That was why she tried her best to seize every opportunity to climb up.
However, she didn’t know that she was already in deep waters, so how could she have the chance to escape?
“You’re delusional.” Upon hearing Ting Nuo’s hypothesis, Nina, who was sipping milk tea, couldn’t help but laugh. Then, she turned around and sized up Ting Nuo in contempt, as if she was a fool. “In her current situation, death is the greatest gift to her!
As a shadow guard, you naturally know the consequences otherwise!”
Thinking of the “divine spell” planted in their bodies, Ting Nuo couldn’t help but shiver. Then, she gritted her teeth and left with her head lowered.
Lin Suisui didn’t know about the incident in the Imperial Court, but she was busy checking the corpses of the dead sacrificial soldiers to see if she could find any traces of the tame head technique.
Lu Ze and the others were not idle either. They interrogated the shadow guard, Shixin, who was on the verge of breaking down.
It was also because of Shixin’s help that they found out more about Nina, who was in the Imperial Court.
For example, she wasn’t the real princess of the Siamese Kingdom, but the adopted daughter of the Siamese Kingdom’s King.
It was said that the Siamese Kingdom’s king had at least dozens of adopted daughters like her.
Like raising parasites, these girls had been collected from all over the Siamese Kingdom since they were young.
Only the most outstanding ones were qualified to become the adopted daughter of the Siamese Kingdom’s king and be entrusted with heavy responsibilities. Those with mediocre qualifications would either end up like Shixin, who had been transferred to the shadow guard camp to be nurtured as shadow guards, or become stepping stones for others to climb up the ranks and die in the end.
As the best among this group of girls, Nina was assigned the heavy responsibility of controlling the northern barbarians.
“She crossed thousands of mountains and rivers from the Siamese Kingdom, so there must have been a limit to the number of people she brought with her.” Lu Ze whispered his opinion to Lin Suisui, “But she’s proficient in the tame head technique, so we can’t be careless.
If I’m not mistaken, Nina will probably be more cautious in the future.”
Actually, there was another guess that he didn’t say. It was very likely that Siam would send reinforcements after sensing that something was wrong.
After all, according to Shixin, ever since she entered the northern barbarian territory, she had never stopped reporting what had happened to the eldest prince in Siam.
The eldest prince could probably sense that the situation with the northern barbarians was about to go out of control. If the other party was really as smart and quick-witted as Shixin had said, it was definitely impossible for him to ignore everything that had happened with the northern barbarians.
Therefore, it was better to end things with the northern barbarians quickly!
Lin Suisui and the others finally arrived outside the Erlun Tribe two days before the Harvest Festival. Although there were still countless assassination attempts along the way and there seemed to be a lot of people, their strength was clearly incomparable to that of the first batch of assassins who attacked them.
Lu Ze and the others didn’t even have to do anything. Just Mo Enze’s guards were enough to repel those disunited assassins.
Because they had long received the news that the ‘goddess’ was about to arrive at the tribe, when Lin Suisui and the others’ carriage arrived at the Erlun Tribe, almost all the people inside and outside the camp rushed to the entrance to welcome them.
Although no one had seen Lin Suisui, who was in the carriage, yet, no one dared to be negligent when they saw the solemn An Duo guarding outside the carriage.
Lin Suisui was wearing a veil and didn’t even show her face as she sat in the carriage. She had already attracted the curiosity of most people in the Erlun Tribe because of the feeling of mystery that An Duo had created right from the beginning.
Consort Molevin’s parents didn’t pay much attention to the carriage Lin Suisui was in. They were more concerned about Consort Molevin, who was sitting in another carriage.
After the convoy entered the camp and stopped in front of the most magnificent tent, Consort Molevin alighted from the carriage with red eyes. As soon as she saw her nanny, Duo Gole, she couldn’t help but rush forward and hug her.
Seeing this scene of mother and daughter reuniting, Lin Suisui didn’t disturb them. Instead, she asked Bai Guo to secretly ask about Mo Enze and the others’ residence before leaving quietly.
When Lin Suisui saw Consort Molevin and her family again, it was already the evening banquet.
Since neither Lin Suisui nor Lu Ze wanted to be too ostentatious, only Consort Molevin’s family was present at this so-called welcome banquet.
Seeing Lin Suisui, Duo Gole stood up and bowed to her very respectfully. Then, she said to Lin Suisui gratefully, “Tengri, if not for your help, my poor daughter would have been separated from me forever.”
“The Consort was lucky. I just helped out.” Lin Suisui lowered her eyes slightly and replied politely. Just as An Duo had said previously, she was a goddess now and not an ordinary person, so she had to maintain this sense of distance from them.
It wasn’t only Duo Gole. The elder sisters-in-law of Consort Molevin were also grateful to Lin Suisui for saving Consort Molevin.
Although they had just interacted, Lin Suisui could still sense the intimacy and harmony between Consort Molevin’s family.
It was no wonder that the Erlun Tribe, as one of the eight lords beside Sr. Khan, had been prosperous until now. It was probably largely related to their unified tribal atmosphere.
During the meal, they talked about the upcoming harvest festival.
However, at the mention of the celebration, Duo Gole sighed helplessly and said in a low voice, “Yesterday, the Imperial Court sent an order that there will be no celebrations inside or outside the Imperial Court this year.
It’s said that Sr. Khan is seriously ill and there are many things to do in the Imperial Court, so it’s inappropriate to hold a harvest festival at this time.
After all, Sr.. Khan’s fate is unknown, so who can celebrate in high spirits?”
