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...
Chapter 660 [Three Updates]
Liu Che looked at him in surprise and asked, "Who is your father?"
After hearing this, Liu Tan's expression changed. He strode over, grabbed his collar, and asked in shock, "You are Liu Tan?!"
Liu Tan was so scared at this time, his mind was full of questions: Why are they here?
The farce outside attracted Liu's father who was cleaning up inside. When Liu's father came out, he was also stunned.
After a lot of noise, the group finally sat down in the Liu family's small, dilapidated house to have a good talk.
Oh, everyone else was sitting, but Liu Tan was kneeling.
He wanted to sit down, but he didn't dare because the psychological shadow left on him by Liu Che was too great.
Liu's father and mother looked at the two identical young men and couldn't help but ask Liu Tan, "Who are you?"
Liu Tan almost cried after hearing this. He also knew that it was difficult to prove his identity, so he could only talk about some of the things that he remembered most clearly.
The more he talked, the more strange it seemed to Liu's father and mother. They could basically conclude that this should be their son. His temperament and character were somewhat similar. Although... they seemed a little different, he was still more like him than the one kneeling.
But...how is that possible?
Liu Tan, who was kneeling there, was initially flustered, but soon realized something and said to his father and mother, "I am Liu Tan, I am your son!"
Liu Tan turned his head and looked at him coldly and said, "Then do you know what your score and ranking were in the second grade midterm exam?"
Liu Tan: ???
He now knew what elementary school was, after all... he had spent so much time re-studying the elementary school textbooks, but... what was the midterm exam?
Liu Tan scoffed and said, "I got 80 points in math, eleventh place."
Don't ask him why he remembers it so clearly. This was the only time in his elementary school career that he was not in the top ten in the class.
At this point, the balance in Liu's parents' hearts had already tilted. They looked at Liu Tan seriously. Liu's mother couldn't help but rub her temples and asked, "What...what's going on?"
Liu Che, who had been very quiet at the side, also said: "I also want to know what happened."
Liu's father and mother looked bewildered and asked, "Tan Tan, what is this person talking about? Who is he?"
Liu Tan: ...
You really asked me this. To be honest, he doesn't know what's going on right now.
After Liu Tan translated Liu Che's words, he turned to look at Liu Tan and said, "I also want to know what's going on."
Liu Tan trembled and opened his mouth to say something, but Liu Che gave him a look, and Bu Fan and the guard took a step forward, which immediately put Liu Tan under great pressure.
If he could really withstand the pressure, he wouldn't have to kneel on the ground.
Liu Tan held on for a while, but finally couldn't bear it anymore and confessed.
Liu Tan was almost furious after hearing this. At first he thought he was just unlucky or something, as he encountered such a complicated situation after traveling through time, and he could lose his life at any minute.
Unexpectedly, someone's life was sacrificed.
Liu's father and mother didn't understand at first, so Liu Tan had to repeat it in Mandarin himself.
After hearing this, Liu's father and mother almost fainted from heartache. They quickly grabbed Liu Tan's hand and cried, "My baby."
And Liu Che...Liu Che was about to kill someone.
He knew about Liu Tan's transformation. The change from a playboy to a sensible and considerate person was so huge that it was hard not to notice it.
At that time, he thought it was because of the change of environment, but he didn't expect that there would be such a thing!
What made him most angry was that his son... was gone! He became someone else's son!
Liu Che wished he could kill Liu Tan directly!
After a period of chaos, Liu Tan finally stabilized the situation.
After comforting Liu's father and mother, he turned to look at Liu Che. Seeing the other person's face as red as the bottom of a pot, he felt a headache. He walked over and whispered, "You..."
Liu Che stared at him: "What? Father doesn't even call me anymore?"
Liu Tan immediately felt relieved. His only worry was that Liu Che would not recognize him. Since Liu Che recognized him, he didn't mind having another father.
After Liu Che's initial rage, the emperor regained his rationality. Putting aside his emotional bias, just looking at the two children, most people would want Liu Tan. As for the one on the ground... he was being merciful by not driving him out.
As for the fact that Liu Tan is not his son, it is hard to say. After all, that body is indeed his son, only his soul has been replaced.
So what does it matter? Just because of Liu Tan's achievements, even if he was just a person with no blood relationship with the royal family, Liu Che was willing to give him a high position and let him be the most powerful official, not to mention that it was just a matter of soul.
After confirming his identity, the next question became more complicated - what should be done with Liu Tan in the future and how should Liu Che be placed.
When Liu's father and mother heard that the other party was the emperor, they felt very uncomfortable.
I always subconsciously feel that I am inferior to him, even if I tell myself that he is an ancient person and there is no emperor now, but... the aura of the other person is too strong.
Of course, the most important question is: "Son, do you still want to go?"
Of course, the question in the past was whether he would return to the Han Dynasty.
Liu Che glanced at Liu Tan nonchalantly, and Liu Tan suddenly felt a chill on his back and coughed lightly, saying, "This...is not up to me."
If he wants to go back, he has to find a way. He can't control whether he goes through or comes back. After that... who knows what will happen?
The biggest problem now is how to place Liu Che!
Liu's parents meant that it was okay to take him in, since the house in their hometown was not small and there was enough space for him to live in.
But the question is, can Liu Tan let them live in the countryside?
It’s not like he has no money!
Even if Liu Che didn't mind, it wouldn't work. There was also the issue of settling down. Settling down was actually easy, but it was difficult for Liu Che, such a big man, to explain his origins.
But he didn't have any good solution, so he subconsciously searched the Internet.
Of course, there were all kinds of reliable and unreliable comments on the Internet. Liu Tan was desperate and tried all kinds of methods, and then... he saw an answer. Someone said with a smile that you can just go to XXX and buy an island. Once you buy the island, it is yours, and no one will care if you want to establish a country!
The speaker may not have intended it, but the listener took it to heart. Liu Tan subconsciously searched for that place and suddenly found out...it was actually true.
As long as you have money, you can pick any island and do whatever you want with it.
There are even a few islands that already have infrastructure and houses built, and you just need to spend money to buy them.
Of course, the prices of these islands are not cheap, but they are not expensive either. What is really expensive is the maintenance cost, or the labor cost for maintenance.
But the problem is...Liu Tan has someone!
They brought a lot of people with them on their trip. Liu Tan had been worried about this before. Even if he could solve Liu Che's household registration problem, what would he do with so many people?
Now there is finally a way out, so the problem now is... how to sell those precious jewelry in his hands.
Don't even think about selling them as antiques. After all, they still look new. Traveling through time won't make these accessories look old.
However, even if they are sold as ordinary jewelry, their jade products are all very high-end goods.
This is when the benefits of having a rich second-generation classmate come into play.
He lied that he had found some heirlooms at home and planned to let the rich second generation sell them.
Ji Fei didn't take it seriously at first, but took a look at it out of the attitude of helping his brother. He was also a connoisseur, and after seeing it, he gasped and said, "Brother, your ancestors are amazing."
Liu Tan said, half-seriously, "It's possible. It's said that the family tree back then can be traced back to the Han Dynasty royal family."
After discussion, they finally decided to put them in the auction house. After all, they were all rare and good items. It just so happened that their auction house was short of good items to finale, and these pieces happened to be good items.
Liu Tan asked, "Brother, can you give me a rough idea of how much it can be sold for?"
Ji Fei thought for a moment and said, "That's enough for you to buy a courtyard house in the capital."
Liu Tan was determined and stable.
In fact, the island he liked was not expensive.
Liu Tan handed it to Ji Fei with confidence. It would take some time to sell all these things because good things cannot be sold together and must be released bit by bit.
As for hunger marketing, Liu Tan has used it himself and understands it very well.
However, Ji Fei's estimate was unexpectedly conservative, and the first piece of jade was sold at a sky-high price.
Liu Tan decided to take Liu Che around the world.
Indeed, their identities are difficult to solve, but the problem is that he can buy a boat himself and hire people!
Who among the crew members cares whether you have a household registration or not?
Of course, before that, he needs to buy the island and then buy a bunch of things and move them over.
For example, solar power generation equipment, equipment for converting seawater into fresh water, the most advanced computers, and... various teaching materials. The last one was for Liu Che to use to pass the time in the future.
There are also various seeds. What if the island can be used for farming? The tradition of flower farming cannot be lost!
Anyway, he moved everything he could think of up there, including quite a few home appliances.
However, the ship he bought was so big that even this did not cause any burden on the ship.
Then they hired a captain and several key sailors, and the rest of the crew was made up of their own people - this was to prevent these employees from killing and robbing.
As for the language barrier problem...don't we have Liu Tan?
As the source of everything, Liu Che spared his life because his father and mother were reluctant to part with their son's body.
Of course, the more important thing is that killing people here is very troublesome.
Since we saved his life, it must have played some role, right?
And their original ship was basically thrown aside. Who would want it when there was a better one?
Before leaving, Liu Tan even took Liu Che and his parents to take a chartered flight. If they had really bought tickets, he would have been the only one to go.
While sitting on the plane, Liu Che looked at the sea of clouds outside, and at the earth of different colors behind the sea of clouds. He looked for a long time before he let out a long sigh and said, "So what you said is true."
Liu Tan sat next to him and whispered, "How could I lie to my father?"
Well, he didn't change his words, so Liu's father and mother didn't care. After all, it was not the same title, and it didn't sound so awkward to them.
What else could they do? Unless they still recognized Liu Tan as their son.
But both rationally and emotionally, they did not want such a son - incompetent and spoiled, never considerate of others, and able to do nothing but lose his temper.
On the contrary, after Liu Tan came back, they got rid of their debts and lived a life they had never dared to imagine. Neither of them wanted to think about the days after Liu Tan woke up.
Liu Tan's only advantage was probably that he knew the current situation and knew that he would not gain any benefits on this ship, so he worked diligently as a translator, fearing that he would be thrown into the sea.
The plane landed at the closest place to Antarctica, and their ship was waiting for them there.
After getting on the boat, they didn't rush to the island, but instead took a stroll around the Arctic first.
I took Liu Che to see the vast ice fields and towering glaciers. To be honest, if it weren't so cold here, this would be like the fairyland Liu Che imagined.
They even saw a white polar bear. Liu Che was so excited that he almost ordered people to get bows and arrows to go hunting, which scared Liu Tan a lot.
After watching the aurora in the Arctic, they finally set off for their own island.
Liu Tan even planned to ask Liu Che to name the island after they arrived. Well, foreign registration documents use English names, so it must have a Chinese name.
But in the middle of the night, when they were still hundreds of nautical miles away from the island, they encountered heavy fog again.
The captain was calm, but Liu Tan and the others had fallen asleep and didn't know it.
But when he woke up the next morning, Liu Tan took a look with his newly bought high-powered telescope and couldn't help rubbing his eyes. Then he thought of this action... it seemed a little familiar.
But the port within the telescope's range... is more familiar to him.
Isn’t that Xuwen Port?
And the clothes worn by the people on the shore were very familiar.
Liu Che walked onto the deck holding a fan. Bu Fan approached Liu Che stealthily and said, "Your Majesty, the matter has been settled."
Liu Che smiled slightly and nodded: "I heard that there are no laws governing the high seas."
Bu Fan nodded: "That's what your Highness said."
Liu Che said nothing more, but walked over to Liu Tan and asked, "What are you looking at so intently?"
Liu Tan looked up at him blankly: "Father, you may not believe this, but it seems we are... back again."
Liu Che paused and widened his eyes. After coming to his senses, he immediately leaned over to look through the telescope.
Sure enough, I saw a familiar scene.
To be honest, based on his previous admiration for the wonderland, he originally thought he would be disappointed, but unexpectedly he felt relieved.
When he arrived at the familiar place and saw the prince running over after receiving the news, Liu Che felt much more comfortable being surrounded by so many people.
Then he turned around and found that Liu Tan was gone. His heart skipped a beat, but he quickly realized that everyone here knew that the King of the North was the son of the Empress, and that the couple could not see each other in public even if they were still together.
Thinking of this, Liu Che felt much more comfortable. As for Liu Tan wanting to raise them, then let him do as he pleases.
But he also discovered that this couple... seemed to be able to go to the Northern Border Kingdom with Liu Tan.
When Liu Che thought that he could only see his son once a year, while the couple could see him anytime, he couldn't help feeling jealous.
He frowned and asked, "Where's Tan'er?"
Liu Ju immediately said, "My brother went to get that ship. It's too big to enter the harbor. Father, where did this ship come from?"
Everyone pricked up their ears, they were all extremely curious.
Liu Che smiled slightly: "I brought it back from the fairyland."
Everyone gasped and looked at Liu Che with wide eyes. They subconsciously felt that if the emperor could really find the fairyland, it would be the credit of the King of the North.
So everyone's attention was focused on Liu Tan who was walking over.
However, Liu Tan frowned and saluted Liu Che, saying, "Father, that man... he's gone."
Liu Che said nonchalantly, "Can't find it? Then there's no need to look for it. Maybe something went wrong, or maybe it ran away on its own."
Liu Tan looked confused. In such a vast ocean, where could that counterfeit go?
Liu Che changed the subject and asked, "Is there anything else lost on the ship?"
Liu Tan's expression was very complicated when he heard this: "No...no."
So the question is, he brought a lot of things with him, basically everything he needs for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and even a lot of educational books. Although some of them are electrical appliances, he also has a solar power generation system.
He felt a little dizzy just thinking about it. This was like letting the big man develop on a rocket!
Because of this incident, he had no time to think about Liu Tan's affairs, so he could only send someone to tell Liu's father and mother.
After hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Liu were silent for a while, then they sighed and said, "Let the child be."
While Liu Tan was thinking about where to unload all those high-tech things, Liu Tan just woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw that he was on a small boat. Looking out, he saw a vast ocean, and the giant cruise ship had long disappeared.
Liu Tan sat there in a daze for a while before he shouted in fear, "Help!"
