Liu Tan felt something was wrong and immediately said, "Watch out to the rear!"

He had no experience in warfare, but with his mind having read countless books, he thought that the one hundred men must be laying an ambush, otherwise why didn't they just attack directly?

However, while his men were cleaning up the battlefield and guarding for a long time, they still did not wait for the so-called ambush.

Liu Tan directly had someone drag out a relatively intact Xiongnu man to question him, and then the most embarrassing thing happened - none of the people he brought with him could speak Xiongnu.

In the end, Liu Tan had no choice but to have all these Xiongnu cavalry killed.

Although there was still blood this time, Liu Tan found that his acceptance had improved a lot.

Maybe I really should thank Lu Xuan, Liu Tan thought to himself.

Just as he was thinking about this, he suddenly saw the scout he had just sent out running over and saying, "Your Highness, someone is approaching!"

Liu Tan raised his eyebrows. Sure enough, the remaining Xiongnu cavalry were coming. He turned around and asked his men to prepare to meet the enemy.

However, after they were all set up, Liu Tan discovered that there was a group of people on horseback walking slowly towards them in the distance.

He really walked over, and it looked like he was taking a walk in his own back garden.

At this time, the sun was rising in the east, and Liu Tan was facing the east. The people were only left with outlines under the light of the rising sun, and their faces could not be seen at all.

But for some reason, Liu Tan always felt that the one leading the group looked like... Lu Xuan?

He was a little suspicious whether he had seen it wrong. Just when he hesitated, the other party kicked his horse's belly and sped up to run towards him.

But even if it speeds up, the horse is just trotting, which has nothing to do with charging.

Some people around Liu Tan had already started to draw their bows and arrows, so he raised his hand to stop them.

Because he could vaguely see the other person's face, it was really Lu Xuan.

Liu Tan breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward, pushing his horse's belly. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Lu Xuan's serious expression, which made him forget what he wanted to say immediately.

You should know that Lu Xuan always had a smile on his face every time he saw him. No matter how difficult the situation was, he never brought him any negative emotions. Even when he was being chased that night, Lu Xuan was smiling and comforting him.

Seeing Lu Xuan's serious expression, Liu Tan felt a little nervous.

Could it be...something happened to Xiao Wusun?

Lu Xuan quickly reached Liu Tan's side, reined in his horse, turned it around, and reached out to tightly grasp Liu Tan's wrist. He asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"

Liu Tan's mind went blank, and he subconsciously leaned to the side: "What...what happened?"

Seeing Liu Tan's rejection gesture, Lu Xuan knew his tone was too harsh. He took a deep breath and loosened his grip slightly, but did not let go of Liu Tan. He simply said, "You have countless elite soldiers and generals under your command. Why are you taking such a risk?"

When Lu Xuan learned that Liu Tan was coming in person, his heart almost stopped.

How could Liu Tan, who couldn't even ride a horse properly, go to the battlefield? Those were Xiongnu cavalry!

So he was really rushing like crazy just now, almost making Abu bleed. It was only after he learned that Liu Tan was not in any danger that he tried to calm down, for fear that he would scare the other party. Unexpectedly, he still couldn't control himself.

Liu Tan naturally knew that Lu Xuan was worried about him, so he said, "Oh, I... there's no one left. Li Guangli has woken up, and I have to send someone to watch over him."

Lu Xuan couldn't help but say, "It's better if you keep an eye on him!"

Liu Tan was immediately displeased: "Why do you still look down on others? I'm doing pretty well too. I've also killed all those people."

Lu Xuan's mind and eyes were all focused on Liu Tan just now, and he didn't pay attention to the surrounding situation at all. Only after Liu Tan reminded him did he react. He turned around and looked around, then froze there.

He was familiar with the blood on the ground and the smell of blood in the air, so he didn't pay much attention to it just now. However... he had never seen the miserable state of these Huns before. For a moment, even Lu Xuan couldn't help but control Abu to take two steps back.

The only Hun soldiers still alive are those who were attacked by bags of lime. At this time, the exposed parts of these people are basically unrecognizable as human beings.

Lu Xuan really wanted to ask how he did it, but he also felt that this might be Liu Tan's trump card, and it would not be appropriate to tell him about it.

So Lu Xuan coughed lightly and said, "I'm glad you're okay."

Liu Tan frowned and shook his head: "But that's not right. The number of these Xiongnu cavalry is wrong, and they are missing a general."

He had just asked someone to identify it. Although the Xiongnu did not have a strict clothing hierarchy system like the Han Dynasty, different classes were distinguished by different clothing accessories.

None of the people he just killed were the real leaders.

Lu Xuan raised his chin and said to the men rushing over from behind, "Bring them up here."

Then Liu Tan saw a Hun who was tied to the back of a horse. He was covered in blood and was barely breathing. He was dragged over.

Liu Tan gasped. He looked back and saw that almost everyone Lu Xuan brought with him was dragging a person behind their horse, and many of them were barely recognizable as human beings.

He looked at the Hun cavalry, then looked at the Hun cavalry on his side. For a moment, he couldn't tell which of the two Hun cavalry was more unlucky.

Lu Xuan explained, "The spies I sent to the Xiongnu delivered the news in advance, but because they were so far away, they almost missed it despite their best efforts. Fortunately, you are okay."

Liu Tan was deeply moved after hearing this. How many friends can a person have in their lifetime who, upon hearing they're in danger, will disregard their own safety and rush to their rescue? Furthermore, considering the journey from the Wusun to here, Lu Xuan must have barely stopped to catch up and kill these Xiongnu.

This can be seen from the tired faces of the small Wusun cavalry behind him.

No matter what feelings Lu Xuan had for him, the fact that he threw his own life behind him was real.

Liu Tan turned to look at Lu Xuan and said seriously, "For the sake of this friendship, if you don't let me down, I won't let you down either."

This was the promise Liu Tan made to Lu Xuan. As long as Lu Xuan didn't do anything to hurt the big man, he would be friends with Lu Xuan for life.

Lu Xuan smiled at Liu Tan. He was actually a little embarrassed at the moment. After all, no matter how good-looking a man was, he couldn't stand such torture after traveling a long distance to kill people.

However, when the morning sun shone on Lu Xuan's face, the earring on his left ear reflected the dazzling light, and Liu Tan suddenly felt that this face was the most beautiful in the world.

Just as Lu Xuan and Liu Tan were looking at each other, and the cavalrymen behind them noticed that something was amiss in the atmosphere but didn't dare to disturb them, the Xiongnu leader seemed to come to his senses, looked up, and cursed at Lu Xuan fiercely.

The atmosphere between Liu Tan and Lu Xuan was instantly destroyed. Lu Xuan felt extremely sorry, but Liu Tan didn't think anything of it and simply asked, "What is he talking about?"

Lu Xuan subconsciously looked away: "Nothing."

Liu Tan suddenly laughed: "You're lying."

Lu Xuan glanced at him secretly and then looked away, saying softly, "It's really nothing."

Liu Tan then said, "You didn't dare look at me when you were lying to me. If you don't tell me whether you believe me or not, I'll ask someone else."

Lu Xuan thought to himself, if there was someone around you who could understand, you wouldn't ask me.

However, Liu Tan seemed to know what he was thinking and suddenly spoke something in Xiongnu language. His tone was almost the same as Pengdu, but it still scared Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan turned and looked at him in surprise. Liu Tan said, "Did he just say that? It doesn't matter. I'll remember it. I'll just ask Huo Guang when I get back."

Lu Xuan: ...

How could he forget that his Ah Tan is the smartest man in the world?

Lu Xuan said helplessly, "He was just threatening me, saying that the Xiongnu would not let me have an easy life."

Liu Tan became worried after hearing this: "This...what will they do?"

Lu Xuan laughed and said, "They can't do anything. This time, we two will work together to wipe out this group of cavalry. They didn't even leave a single person to report back. What else can they do to me?"

Before Liu Tan could ask anything, the Hun man below spoke again.

Liu Tan turned to look at Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan's eyes flickered as he said to Liu Tan, "He said that Wushilu Chanyu would definitely be able to discover it. They just like to mythologically portray Wushilu."

The Xiongnu man was even more excited this time, chattering away. Before Lu Xuan could say anything, Liu Tan asked, "Is he scolding you?"

This posture really looks like passionate insults.

Lu Xuan was stunned for a moment. He had been worrying about how to make Liu Tan stop worrying, but when he heard this, he almost laughed out loud. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, because I was disrespectful to their Chanyu."

Liu Tan said coldly, "What's the point of being disrespectful? Wu Shilu won't live much longer."

For some reason, Lu Xuan felt a chill at that moment. He began to wonder if Liu Tan knew something new.

Lu Xuan asked, "How should we deal with this?"

This time, Liu Tan didn't say "you deal with what you caught," but directly said, "Silence him. Do you want him to go back and tip off the authorities?"

Lu Xuan laughed immediately, leaving Liu Tan baffled.

After Lu Xuan's men had easily dealt with all the Xiongnu cavalry, he said naturally, "Let's go."

Liu Tan looked at his wrist silently: "You are so arrogant. You actually think so highly of my riding skills."

Lu Xuan laughed heartily and said, "Ah Tan can lead troops, so of course he's very capable."

Despite saying so, he still reluctantly let go of Liu Tan's wrist and walked side by side with Liu Tan.

Liu Tan asked, "Where are you going now?"

Lu Xuan said, "Wherever you go, I'll go."

After saying this, before Liu Tan could glare at him, he smiled and said, "Since you are leading the troops personally, I guess you are already attacking the robbery country. I'll go over and take a look, maybe I can help."

Liu Tan quickly said, "I'm already very grateful that you can come and help fight off the Huns. There's no need to do anything else. I'd be sorry if there were any casualties."

He felt a little strange in his heart. Lu Xuan was too enthusiastic. As a young and heroic leader, would he really be blinded by beauty... bah, by emotions?

Lu Xuan shook his head and said, "No, just consider it as my return for the medicine I gave Ah Tan."

Liu Tan said in surprise: "That's what I exchanged with you for information."

Lu Xuan looked at him seriously and said, "I was originally going to give you that information. After all, it was me who implicated you. I really needed those medicines at the time, so I accepted them. They saved many of us, so I wanted to help."

Liu Tan was a little amused and didn't know whether Lu Xuan was anxious or not. Lu Xuan, who could speak fluent Chinese, suddenly made all kinds of grammatical errors. Fortunately, Liu Tan understood.

Then he felt guilty. How could he explain that the other party was targeting him?

Liu Tan sent someone to gather information while taking Lu Xuan to their base first.

However, when it was time to go back, Liu Tan fell into deep thought - which direction did he come from?
