Question: How does it feel to have Emperor Wu of Han as your father and Chen Ajiao as your mother?
Liu Tan: Thank you for the invitation. I'm in the Han dynasty, just stepped out of a...
Liu Tan looked at Bi Gao seriously and asked, "Are you kidding?"
The anxiety on Bigo's face didn't seem like a joke at all. He shook his head and said, "Really."
Liu Tan asked again, "Are you sure it's Captain Huo and Jiang Yezhe?"
Bigo nodded vigorously. Liu Tan said in disbelief, "Did they... start fighting?"
Bi Gao nodded vigorously again, and Liu Tan finally believed that Bi Gao was not lying. He quickly stood up and asked, "Where is it? Why did the fight start?"
As he asked this question, he felt it was incredible. It seemed that these two people were not impulsive enough to fight, especially Huo Guang. Huo Guang gave him the impression that even when they were arguing, he would not use particularly sharp words or tones. At most, he would use some metaphors. Those who were knowledgeable and had high IQs could understand him, but those who had not been educated might not even understand him.
As for Jiang Chong, it is hard to say anything about him, but he is a smart man and knows who to provoke and who not to provoke. He should not provoke Huo Guang.
No, Huo Guang obviously looked down on Jiang Chong, and Jiang Chong had once escaped from the pursuit of Zhao's Prince Liu Dan, so he must be quite skilled. If a fight really broke out, wouldn't Huo Guang be at a disadvantage?
Thinking of this, Liu Tan became even more anxious. He couldn't understand why these two people started fighting.
Isn't this a joke? How could Huo Guang do this?
However, when he learned that Huo Guang and Jiang Chong had basically agreed to a fight and that the two had only brought their followers to the nearby woods, he knew that the two were still concerned about their image.
When Liu Tan went over, the guards of Huo Guang and Jiang Chong were standing outside, watching each other vigilantly, as if they would draw their swords if the other dared to move.
However, after seeing Liu Tan, their faces showed some panic and they saluted quickly.
Liu Tan didn't even look at them and went straight to the scene of the incident. By the way, he also asked someone to stop those guards.
Because no one tipped off, Liu talked about the scene when the two were engaged in a fight.
Oh, that seems a bit inaccurate. The accurate statement is that Huo Guang was beating Jiang Chong unilaterally.
Liu Tan stood there: =口=!
To be honest, before coming here, Liu Tan's mind was full of thoughts: If Jiang Chong hurts Huo Guang, he will break Jiang Chong's legs!
However, Huo Guang did not seem to give him this opportunity.
Huo Guang, who usually looks gentle and polite, now appears to be very agile and it is obvious that he has received formal training. As for Jiang Chong opposite him... because it is dark, it is hard to see anything, only a figure struggling.
But just looking at the figure is enough to make one feel that it is a horrible sight. Judging from the way Jiang Chong attacked, he probably looked like a street thug.
The first person to discover that Liu Tan had arrived was Huo Guang. After all, Jiang Chong had been beaten so badly that he probably couldn't even tell the directions.
Huo Guang raised his long legs and kicked Jiang Chong, making him roll twice on the ground. Then he looked up at Liu Tan.
Huo Guang's face had a slight blush from the exercise, and perhaps because of her movements, a strand of hair hung down beside her cheek. Against the backdrop of the firelight, she could be described as a beauty as beautiful as jade.
While Liu Tan was admiring it, he heard Huo Guang say in a deep voice, "Your Highness!" Then he saw Huo Guang walking towards him with an extremely unpleasant expression.
Liu Tan was immediately startled, feeling that Huo Guang was going to continue beating him after beating Jiang Chong.
Liu Tan took half a step back. Well, if it wasn't so embarrassing to retreat, he probably wouldn't have taken just half a step back.
"Captain... Captain, please talk it over nicely, don't use violence." Liu Tan was very sure that he, a weakling in combat, was no match for Huo Guang. The most important thing was that he had no idea why Huo Guang was angry!
It would be so unfair to get beaten.
Huo Guang stood before him, cupped his hands, and said, "Your Highness should be close to gentlemen and stay away from villains. You should not associate with such ghosts and monsters."
Jiang Chong stood up from the ground in a panic and said, "Huo Guang, who do you think you are? Why do you think you can discipline His Highness?"
However, Huo Guang didn't even glance at Jiang Chong, treating his barking as a dog's, and just stared at Liu Tan.
Liu Tan was completely bewildered. "Wha...what? What did Jiang Yezhe do?"
After he finished speaking, Liu Tan reacted immediately. He widened his eyes and asked, "Captain, did you know that he was going to…"
Huo Guang's eyes turned cold, and Liu Tan knew that he must have guessed right. He wanted to say that this was what Jiang Chong wanted to do, but Jiang Chong was determined that it was true. But in the end, Liu Tan was also tempted and acquiesced to Jiang Chong's behavior.
It's possible to pass on the blame, but it always feels a bit unfair.
After hesitating for a moment, he lowered his head and whispered, "I understand."
Jiang Chong, who was standing by, said, "I insisted on this alone, and it has nothing to do with Your Highness!"
Liu Tan looked up at him and said helplessly, "You should go and treat your injuries first."
Huo Guang then asked, "So... it has nothing to do with Your Highness?"
Liu Tan said decisively: "I condoned this matter, the fault is mine."
Jiang Chong stood behind, his eyes red: "Your Highness..."
Liu Tan said to Bi Gao beside him, "Take him to get treated for his injuries."
Jiang Chong followed him, looking back every few steps. Before leaving, he threatened, "Huo Guang, you...it's okay if you hit me, but if you dare to touch His Highness, you're done for. I'm telling you!"
Liu Tanxin said, "Forget it. Even if Huo Guang pinned me here and beat me up now, my father might not react. He might even praise him for the good beating."
After Jiang Chong left, Huo Guang's expression softened slightly and he whispered, "Your Highness, please do not think I am stubborn. I am ten years your senior, and I have seen countless evildoers in the court. Although such people may enjoy themselves for a while, they will not have a good end. Your Highness is new to the palace and does not understand many things. It is time to learn. As the future king, you must not fall into such evil ways. Please be cautious."
Liu Tan was stunned for a moment, then nodded honestly and said, "I understand."
He originally thought that Huo Guang beat Jiang Chong because he felt that Jiang Chong was not resourceful enough and would easily disrupt the alliance between the Han Dynasty and Wusun, but he did not expect that Huo Guang beat Jiang Chong for him.
To be honest, if Liu Tan was really only fifteen years old, it would not be a good thing for him to have such a person who would do anything to achieve his goals around him. Children of this age are very sensitive even if they become sensible at an early age. If they are influenced by him, they might become a person like Jiang Chong.
Huo Guang raised his hand to straighten his hair and said, "It's getting late and the dew is heavy. Your Highness, please go back and rest early."
Liu Tan responded and said, "Captain, come here together so I can see if you are injured."
Huo Guang said nonchalantly, "It's just a minor scratch, Your Highness, don't worry about it."
However, in the end, he was dragged into the tent by Liu Tan. When they reached a bright place, Liu Tan discovered that there were scratches on the back of Huo Guang's hand. As for his body, he was dressed tightly and no wounds could be seen.
Before Liu Tan left, Liu Che prepared a bunch of medicine for him, Chen Ajiao gave him some more, and finally Li Buyan brought some so-called medicine for treating external injuries from Li Xi. Anyway, he could basically open a pharmacy with all these things.
So he simply gave Huo Guang a bunch of medicine and said, "Wipe it on the wound. Fortunately, it's cold, so you don't need to get it wet."
Huo Guang smiled slightly and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Liu Tan hesitated for a moment and said, "Next time... if the Commander feels something is wrong, you can come to me directly. If the news of beating up a court official gets out, it will probably damage the Commander's reputation."
Huo Guang's expression turned serious. "I'm teaching Jiang Chong a lesson not only for Your Highness, but also for his recklessness. He thinks he's incredibly resourceful, but he never considered what would happen if something were to happen. He didn't consider whether the Wusun might turn against the Han, nor did he consider how embarrassed Princess Danyang would be. Your Highness, he keeps claiming to be doing things for the Han, but in reality, he's only doing it for his own career."
Liu Tan nodded. He knew that Jiang Chong had selfish motives, but Jiang Chong's proposal was too tempting and he really couldn't resist.
Huo Guang whispered, "Jiang Chong can't stay here for long. He's always eager for quick success. We've just arrived in Wusun, and there's a lot we don't know yet. If we were discovered, not only would the princess be in danger, but Your Highness would be even more in danger. If Your Highness truly wants this, why not just let Jiang Chong stay here and not allow him to return? Do you think he still has that in mind?"
Liu Tan laughed: "He has a bright future in the Han Dynasty, why would he stay in Wusun?"
Huo Guang nodded: "Yes, he certainly won't, but Your Highness, don't be discouraged. The princess has already made arrangements among her attendants."
Liu Tan looked up at Huo Guang in surprise. Huo Guang said frankly, "I'm not asking Your Highness to be a good person who knows nothing about the world. It's just that there are things you should do and things you shouldn't do. Only by planning for the long term can you succeed. Otherwise, giving up halfway is probably the best outcome."
When Huo Guang taught him to be a good person, Liu Tan didn't really take it to heart. At that time, he thought Huo Guang was just worried that he was young and ignorant and would be led astray, but he knew his bottom line.
Now Huo Guang really seems like a gentleman who is kind and patient in giving advice. He acts righteously but is not pedantic or stubborn.
Liu Tan was finally convinced, but he was also a little confused. Why was Huo Guang so worried that he would grow crooked?
He knew it was not appropriate to ask such questions, but he couldn't help but ask, "Why is Captain Huo so worried?"
His question was obscure, so it didn't matter if Huo Guang didn't understand.
How could Huo Guang not see his doubts? He watched Liu Tan raise his hand as if about to do something, but finally restrained himself, sighed and said, "If Zihou grows up, he will be as old as Your Highness."
Liu Tan was stunned for a moment before he remembered that Huo Guang was probably talking about Huo Qubing's son Huo Shan.
Liu Tan also felt it was a pity to mention Huo Shan. As far as he knew, Huo Shan should also have a great talent for leading troops, otherwise Liu Che would not have always wanted him to inherit his father's mantle. Compared with Wei Qing's sons, Liu Che never thought of letting them go to war against the Huns like Wei Qing.
However, it was useless to say anything when the person was gone. Liu Tan didn't know how to comfort him. After a long pause, he finally said, "At least they are reunited."
After saying this, he wanted to slap himself. Underground reunion, is this a good thing to say?
Huo Guang laughed out loud, coughed lightly, and said, "Your Highness, please go to bed early. I will take my leave."
Liu Tan watched Huo Guang leave and pondered whether what he needed most now was to learn the art of speaking.
It seemed that no one except Liu Tan and their guards heard about the fight between Huo Guang and Jiang Chong, at least Liu Tan did not hear anyone talking about it.
The team had already marched to within a hundred miles of Chigu City. Just when Liu Tan thought that this short distance wouldn't be a problem, Junxumi suddenly came to him and said, "Fifth Prince, I have something important to discuss."
Liu Tan had a good impression of Junxumi. After all, he had provided him with so much intelligence for free. So he extended his hand and said, "Cen Zou, please take a seat. What's the important matter?"
Junxumi said, "The Xiongnu princess has surrendered to the Wusun and has arrived outside Chigu City. My father intends to pay his respects to her on the same day. What do you think, Your Highness?"
The author has something to say: Liu Tan: I feel like my comfort has a critical hit effect
