Banda said with assurance: "The imperial teacher is a very good person, and if he knew you were Han, he would definitely treat you even better."

"Why?" Lin Shuangshuang was extremely nervous, not knowing whether the guess in her mind was correct.

Banda blurted out: "Because our national teacher is also Han Chinese."

Lin Shuangshuang looked at Banda in surprise, her face full of disbelief: "How could your Jin's national teacher be a Han Chinese?"

"Well, to tell you the truth, our current national teacher is actually the former general of your Dayu Dynasty."

"It's just that after he was captured, our monarch thought he was a talent, so he loved him and promised him a high position and generous salary, and made him a national teacher, so that he could serve the Jin Kingdom."

Lin Shuangshuang suddenly became very angry: "What a crap talent! He is a traitor."

"As a general, he should die for his country and not seek fame and fortune."

Everyone was not surprised to see Lin Shuangshuang's indignant attitude.

After all, she was from the Dayu Dynasty, so she would naturally be angry when she heard that her country's general had betrayed her country.

Banda said with a look of disapproval: "You can't say that. Your general also has some backbone."

"He naturally disagreed at first, but when I heard that he had suffered a lot and was tortured to death, he finally agreed."

"And he also put forward a condition that he would rather die than attack the Great Yu Kingdom, and would not massacre his compatriots with his own hands."

"He can help the people of Jin improve their lives through business, or he can lead troops to attack other countries and help Jin expand its territory."

"Only one thing, never attack Dayu."

"When the two countries really reach the point where they have to go to war, he will choose to die as a token of his guilt."

"When our monarch heard his conditions, he felt that he was a man of integrity and loyalty to the country, and he admired him even more."

"If he is someone who would easily betray his country, our monarch would not use him, let alone give him the supreme power."

Lin Shuangshuang listened to Banda's words and carefully analyzed his every sentence, trying to get some key information from it.

Gu Hanzhou was tortured severely and had no choice but to betray his country.

I wonder what kind of deal he made with the King of Jin to gain his trust and be appointed as the Imperial Master?

Did Gu Hanzhou break off relations with his family just for today?

Was he doing this because he was afraid that the news of his treason would reach Emperor Dayu and implicate his relatives?

Gu Hanzhou is not a person who is greedy for power. If he really wants to be an official, wouldn’t it be nice to be an official in the Dayu Dynasty and return home in glory?

Do you have to betray your country and become an official of the Jin Dynasty?

He must have some purpose in doing this, or perhaps, the day he severed ties with his family was the day he had already planned for today.

But what is his purpose?

Her intuition told her that it might be related to the Su family.

It’s better to meet the person as soon as possible. There’s no point in overthinking it.

Lin Shuangshuang curled her lips and said, "So he still has some backbone."

"If you really want to betray your country for high office and generous salary, I will marry such a person."

"By the way, you said he was tortured to the point of nearly death. Was his injury serious? Was he left with any disability?"

"You brought me there, aren't you going to ask me to serve a half-dead paralytic?"

"..."

Banda looked embarrassed: "I didn't collapse, ahem... I just limped a little bit."

"But... our national teacher is really handsome, even men are moved when they see him."

"You'll know when you see him. You'll definitely be attracted to him."

"It just so happens that you know medical skills, maybe you can cure the Imperial Master's lameness and win his favor. Will you still worry about not having a good life in the future?"

Lin Shuangshuang nodded: "We'll have to wait until we meet."

"What's your Imperial Master's name?"

"Gu Hanzhou."

When Lin Shuangshuang heard Gu Hanzhou's name, her nervous heart skipped a beat, but there was no expression on her face, as if she had heard a stranger.

"Gu Hanzhou, this name is not bad. It sounds like the name of a Dayu person."

"Let's go check it out first. If I can find my brother, I won't have to get married."

Banda laughed and said, "That's right. We in the Jin Kingdom are all good men. If the girl really doesn't like the national teacher, she can consider us brothers."

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard Banda's words.

Yes, if I could marry such a beautiful girl who can cook and practice medicine, I would be so happy.

Banda is a cunning boy indeed.

So, several people looked at Lin Shuangshuang attentively, and Lin Shuangshuang was speechless for a while.

"Are you as good-looking as the Imperial Master?"

"..."

Girls, don't judge people by their appearance!

Dawa is the most stable of the group and doesn't want to marry Lin Shuangshuang because he already has a wife and children.

"Little sister, I've asked all the questions you wanted to ask. Are you going to sell your medicine?"

At this time, everyone realized that they told her so much mainly because they wanted to buy the medicine in Lin Shuangshuang's hand, and they were almost led astray by her.

"Yeah, are you going to sell your medicine or not?"

Lin Shuangshuang nodded: "Sell, ten taels of silver each, divide it among yourselves."

Lin Shuangshuang threw the white porcelain bottle into Banda's hands and asked him to divide it.

Banda gave one to each person and kept the rest for himself.

The few people did not cheat. They paid as much silver as they were supposed to and handed it to Lin Shuangshuang honestly.

Lin Shuangshuang accepted the money without hesitation and added: "This pill must be sealed in a moisture-proof porcelain bottle and is only valid for two years."

"Don't be reluctant to take it and keep it as a life-saving medicine. The effect will disappear after two years."

"Why?"

Lin Shuangshuang was speechless: "Why? You don't even understand this?"

"Everything that is edible has a shelf life. For example, this donkey meat soup can only be kept for one day at most. If it is kept for a long time, it will become smelly and rotten and hairy. How can we eat it?"

"It's the same with pills. If they're left for too long, they'll go bad, and if they go bad, they'll naturally have no healing effect."

Everyone nodded: "I see."

"..."

Lin Shuangshuang was speechless as she watched them suddenly realize what was going on and were seriously learning from what they were saying.

At noon the next day, they finally reached the next tribe. After buying some dry food, they continued on their journey.

Banda reminded Dawa: "Buy some flour and ask my sister to make donkey meat kabobs."

"Hey, hey, she said it's delicious, so it must be delicious, let's try it too."

"We've finished eating the donkey meat tonight. If we don't eat it again, we'll have no chance to eat it."

"Row."

Banda walked up to Lin Shuangshuang again and asked solemnly, "Little sister, what else do you want to buy?"

"I'll ask Dawa to buy it."

"We will probably arrive in Jindu tomorrow night. Hehe, I won't have the chance to eat the food you cook in the future."

"You have to make us something delicious tonight."

Lin Shuangshuang was speechless. This was treating her as a cook.

She had gotten all the information she wanted, so she was too lazy to cook for this group of people.

"Buy more flour and make noodles for you tonight."
