Lu Xuan laughed, reached out and held Liu Tan's hand, saying softly, "Don't make trouble. There's a celebration banquet tomorrow."

If it weren't for this, Liu Tan had just acquiesced and even cooperated. Would he have stopped?

Of course, the main reason was that he was a little shy to speak out. He had only hoped to meet Liu Tan more often, but he couldn't help but say that he liked her every time they met. The young man's passionate love drove him to want to offer his true heart to the person he liked, just hoping that person would look at him more.

Even if he had ever thought of taking the person to the Western Regions and hiding him secretly for a lifetime, it was just a thought.

Liu Tan was placed in the most sacred place in his heart and he never thought about anything with a sexual connotation.

But people are always like this. After being together, they really want to have in-depth communication with each other and confirm their love for each other through some activities.

Lu Xuan was also unavoidable, but he suddenly remembered... in his education, it seemed that there was never any mention of how men should behave with each other!

He could have acted on instinct, but he wanted to give his Ah Tan the best experience.

Well, he can bear with it and study for a while.

There is no need to explain this reason to Liu Tan. Anyway, Liu Tan has a lot of things to do next.

These past two days, Huo Guang took over all the affairs simply because he felt sorry for his King of the Northern Territory.

When Huo Guang came to report before, he saw some of the interaction between them and probably couldn't bear it any longer.

Liu Tan paused after hearing this and thought about it. It was indeed true. He was a novice. If he accidentally injured Lu Xuan, and Lu Xuan had to attend the celebration banquet tomorrow with an injury, then he would be too cruel.

Thinking of this, Liu Tan leaned over and kissed Lu Xuan again before getting off him and saying, "Then I'll let you go today."

Lu Xuan laughed, but still couldn't help hugging Liu Tan and kissing him, leaving a little mark on his shoulder and collarbone.

When Liu Tan went to take a bath, he saw the red marks in the bronze mirror and couldn't help blushing. He thought to himself that it was a good thing that he had to wear auspicious clothes tomorrow, which were thick enough to cover them up. Otherwise, what would be the difference between this and announcing it to the world?

The next day, on the eve of the celebration banquet, Liu Tan and Lu Xuan were still hugging each other affectionately, and only separated when there was no time to waste.

Then Liu Tan saw Lu Xuan sent someone to bring a set of clothes. It was said to be Hanfu, but it was simpler than Hanfu. It was also said to be Wusun clothing, but it was more complicated than Wusun clothing.

He couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "Where did this clothes come from?"

Lu Xuan said, "I had it done. Since we want to keep the contract together, there have to be some changes."

Liu Tan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Of course, Lu Xuan, I didn't realize you had this talent."

Lu Xuan stretched his body and put on his new clothes. Liu Tan watched him move and saw that his muscles were smooth but not exaggerated, especially the abdominal muscles he had always dreamed of. He couldn't help but touch them with his claws.

Lu Xuan grabbed his rebellious hand and pulled him over. He kissed Liu Tan until he was breathless before letting him go. He coaxed him, "Alright, stop messing around. Go change your clothes."

Liu Tan also knew that if he continued to make a fuss, he would be late, so he went over and changed his clothes obediently.

By the time they reached the main hall, everyone who could have come had arrived. Liu Tan looked at the room, seeing that not a single person was missing, and couldn't help but sigh, "We're so lucky. Thinking about it now, I'm still a little scared."

Wei Buyi, who was standing by, said, "It's not that he was lucky. If His Highness hadn't acted decisively and blown up the coal mine, who knows what the consequences would have been."

Li Buyan nodded frantically and said worriedly, "The coal mine has exploded. What should we do?"

Liu Tan said, "Let's send someone to clean it up. Blowing up such a large area of ​​the mine won't make it useless. They'll just have to dig new wells and so on, and we definitely won't be able to do it this year."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but cover his chest. Lu Xuan beside him was startled: "What's wrong?"

He wanted to rush over, but he held back. Suddenly he felt a little regretful, but it was he who suggested hiding it, and now he had no right to regret it.

Liu Tan waved his hands and said, "When I think about all the coal I had exploded and how much money I lost, my heart aches."

Everyone: ...

Li Buyan scratched his head innocently: "Your Highness seemed quite happy when the explosion happened."

Liu Tan glared at him. Why was he bringing up something irrelevant? Didn’t he fail to react at that time?

His mind was filled with the thought that there was gas in the mine and that he could cheat the Huns, but he never imagined that he was actually wasting his own money.

Seeing how distressed he was, Lu Xuan couldn't help but chuckle. He leaned over and whispered, "It's okay. I have money."

This was because they were close to each other and could still whisper to each other. After all, Lu Xuan was the King of Wusun and was on equal footing with Liu Tan.

Liu Tan glanced at him, raised his chin slightly, and whispered two words: "Distance."

Lu Xuan: ...

You're shooting yourself in the foot.

But the more this happened, the more he became itchy and couldn't help but want to pay attention to Liu Tan. Whenever he saw him smile, he couldn't help but smile too.

Finally, when Liu Tan got up to change his clothes, he couldn't help but get up and follow him out.

Huo Guang's hand holding the wine cup trembled. He took a deep breath and resisted the urge to follow him out.

When Liu Tan came out, he saw Lu Xuan standing under the plum tree in the courtyard, sniffing a plum blossom. Behind him was the brightly lit main hall of the palace. His handsome face was half illuminated by the lights and half hidden in the shadows, which further highlighted his deep contours and three-dimensional features.

Liu Tan stood aside and admired Lu Xuan's beauty for a long time, thinking contentedly: This man is mine.

Lu Xuan seemed to feel his gaze, and the moment he turned his head to look at him, his eyes were like stars.

Liu Tan walked over and secretly looked around, then put his arms around Lu Xuan's waist and leaned over to kiss him.

He didn't know why, but he really wanted to kiss Lu Xuan just now.

However, such a superficial kiss certainly could not satisfy Lu Xuan, so Lu Xuan held him and kissed him for a long time before they separated.

Liu Tan leaned in his arms to relax for a while, and finally, with Lu Xuan's help, he tidied his clothes and returned to the main hall.

It was called a celebration banquet, but in fact it was just a chance for everyone to relax. The rewards that should have been given had already been given. The only hesitation was the arrangement of Li Buyan and Wei Buyi. However, in the end, Liu Tan still let Wei Buyi take the position of the Northern Border State Commandant, and then let Li Buyan lead a thousand elite soldiers. The two men had the same rank, the only difference was the number of soldiers under their command.

Then Liu Tan also fulfilled Wei Deng's dream and made him a military marquis.

After eating and drinking, the group dispersed in twos and threes. However, looking at the expressions of Li Buyan and the others, Liu Tan thought that they were going to continue the party.

Before leaving, Huo Guang walked up to Liu Tan and said, "If Your Highness doesn't want others to know, then it's best to be more restrained."

Liu Tan raised his eyes and said, "Axuan and I are both keeping our distance. Isn't that enough?"

Huo Guang sneered: "Your Highness, please go look in the mirror."

Liu Tan returned to his room with a puzzled look in the mirror. At a glance, he saw the person in the mirror with a smile on his face, a rosy complexion, and spring in his eyebrows and eyes.

He couldn't help shaking his hand and directly slammed the mirror on the table.

How is such an obvious situation any different from coming out in public?
