Liu Tan felt very melancholy holding the letter. He thought for a long time and found that he didn't seem to have any particularly good way to kill Junxumi.

He could only use simple and brutal methods, such as beating, poisoning, assassination, or other methods... He decided not to bother with his brain cells and directly called Huo Guang over.

Anyway, Huo Guang knew a lot about the royal family's affairs, and he was tight-lipped, so even if he knew something, he might not tell anyone.

When Huo Guang heard that Liu Tan had taken the initiative to find him, he took a deep breath, knowing that something big must have happened. Of course, it might not be a big deal, but it might challenge his bottom line.

When Liu Tan saw Huo Guang walking in from outside the door, the distance of each step was just right, as if measured with a ruler. His expression looked very serious and his movements were very solemn.

After Huo Guang sat down, Liu Tan asked hesitantly, "The national treasury...is out of money again?"

Huo Guang looked at Liu Tan with a pair of dark eyes, and his tone was quite resigned: "The national treasury is very good. If your highness has any questions, please tell me directly."

Anyway, since arriving in the Northern Territory, his ability to endure has increased dramatically, and he can bear whatever Liu Tan says.

Seeing that he seemed to be mentally prepared, Liu Tan said directly, "Danyang said that the child is not Junxumi's, so Junxumi needs to be eliminated as soon as possible, and she must be allowed to take power beforehand."

Huo Guang: ?????

He stared at Liu Tan for a long moment before asking, "Why are you so anxious?"

Liu Tan whispered, "The child's father is Han Chinese, a captain I left behind. Oh, I think he was later made a general by my father."

In fact, that person came from a good family, and his family had been officials for generations. However, the child was rather rebellious and did not like studying but only liked leading troops to fight. At that time, he felt that there were more opportunities if he stayed in Da Wusun, so he volunteered to stay there.

In terms of background and age, she is a good match for Danyang.

Huo Guang immediately understood why Danyang was so anxious. The physical characteristics of the Wusun people were still very obvious. Even children born to Han people would show some of these external characteristics. The most typical example was Lu Xuan.

If the child born by Princess Danyang does not show any characteristics, she will definitely be suspected at the first moment.

Of course, Princess Danyang's facial features are more three-dimensional than those of most Han women, and the child's father seems to be good-looking too, so the child might not be discovered immediately after birth.

But obviously Princess Danyang did not want to take this risk.

Huo Guang looked up at Liu Tan and said, "Your Highness, do you intend to take charge of this matter?"

Liu Tan said, "Danyang wrote to me asking for help." He added, "Even if Danyang hadn't written, I would have taken care of it if I had known about it."

This matter involves many things, the most direct one being whether the Great Wusun will kill Danyang and go to war with the Han Dynasty.

Huo Guang frowned and said, "This matter should be handled by Your Majesty."

They had no right to deal with the affairs of the Great Wusun, and if they interfered without permission and were caught, it would be troublesome.

Liu Tan said bitterly, "No, no, no! If the emperor knew about this, he would be so pissed he'd die."

The original intention of sending the princess to marry was to win over the Great Wusun, no matter who the Kunmi of the Great Wusun was. But it turned out that the princess had her own ambitions, and she also cheated on the Kunmi, and might even be discovered by the other party. In the end, the imperial court would have to clean up the mess, and anyone would be angry.

Huo Guang said expressionlessly, "The princess should also learn a lesson."

In his opinion, Princess Danyang was too confident. As a princess married to a foreign country, she should have been cautious and careful at every step. Things like cheating on her husband and having a child with his lover should never have happened!

In Huo Guang's view, the Princess Danyang was chosen because she had her brother Liu Tan to rely on. Otherwise, according to the Han Dynasty's previous style of doing things, they would choose the daughter of a royal family criminal to be given the title of princess, or a young lady from a very remote branch of the family.

No matter which one it is, they will be helpless when they arrive in the Western Regions and will definitely be more cautious.

Princess Danyang not only had a queen mother who was called her adoptive mother but was actually her biological mother, but also had a brother whose fiefdom was relatively close to the Great Wusun. Although he was not a biological mother, he was no different from a biological mother.

It seems that Danyang does have the right to be willful.

So what Huo Guang hadn't said yet was that he was also teaching the emperor a lesson, to see if he would send his daughter as a princess for marriage next time.

However, this sentence seems to be a fabrication of the emperor, and it is impossible for Huo Guang to say such a thing given his cultivation.

When Liu Tan heard what Huo Guang said, he argued, "Junxumi was forced to marry Danyang in the first place. Danyang was already very wronged."

Huo Guang raised an eyebrow: "Didn't Princess Danyang and Junxumi send the old Kunmi away?"

Liu Tan said confidently, "Compared to that old man, Junxumi is definitely better. But compared to that young man from the Han Dynasty, Junxumi, with its muttony smell, is definitely not good enough!"

Huo Guang suddenly said: "The King of Wusun..."

Liu Tan's expression softened immediately as he said, "Ah Xuan is certainly different. He said that his mother had mixed incense for him since he was a child to cover up the smell on his body."

Cattle and sheep are the staple food of ethnic minorities, there is nothing that can be done about it. However, after so many years of using incense, Lu Xuan does not have that smell on his body. Even when the sachet is off, he still has a wisp of cold fragrance on his body.

Junxumi is stupid and smelly, is he worthy of being compared with Lu Xuan?

Huo Guang pondered after hearing this: "Meeting Hexiang, I think the King of Wusun's mother also had a good family background."

At least his family background was good, which answered many questions, such as why Lu Xuan was so obsessed with Chinese characters and books, and why he agreed to let Da Wusun become a vassal state of the Han Dynasty.

Presumably, his mother played a major role in this, and Liu Tan must also be one of the reasons. All the reasons combined had an impact on Lu Xuan.

From Lu Xuan's perspective, there was room for maneuver regarding Danyang's unborn child.

Liu Tan was stunned for a moment. "I haven't asked. Hey, we're talking about Danyang. Don't always drag Axuan into this. Anyway... at least we have to settle this matter before the emperor finds out. Or as long as Junxumi is dead, the emperor will naturally support Danyang in seizing power. As I said, it's better for Danyang's child to be half Han than half Wusu!"

The most important thing is that both of their parents are there, so they will not be influenced too much by the Wusun. Or even if they are affected, they are naturally pro-Han.

Huo Guang looked up at Liu Tan and said, "I mentioned the King of Wusun precisely because of this matter."

Liu Tan was stunned for a moment before hearing Huo Guang continue, "The King of Wusun is still a Wusun, and he's closer to Princess Danyang. We're so far away, if something happens and we wait for the letter to arrive, even if we have a solution, it won't be in time. It would be better to... let the King of Wusun go."

Liu Tan was silent for a while after hearing this. He looked up at Huo Guang and asked, "Don't you trust A Xuan?"

Huo Guang said frankly: "Yes."
