Seeing that he could not change Liu Tan's mind, Huo Guang could barely accept this result, and he was also preparing to write a letter to Liu Che.
He always stayed by Liu Che's side and never used his status or privileges to do anything, and he was also very careful about his limits.
But this time, he wanted to break his promise for Liu Tan.
No one except Liu Che could see the letter. As long as Liu Che didn't say anything or blame anyone, no one else would know.
The only thing that needs to be dealt with is that someone may suggest that the Great Wall's defense line is not strong enough. Let's leave this matter to the emperor.
It was rare for Huo Guang to be so irresponsible, but there was nothing he could do. He was more worried about Liu Tan's reputation than his guilt.
There were few princes of the Han Dynasty with good reputations. When Huo Guang was with Liu Che, he was often treated as such by those princes who were so stupid that they wanted to destroy them directly.
Now we finally have a rare species with all the right values and intelligence, and we must protect it.
Liu Tan didn't know what Huo Guang was thinking. He originally wanted to wait for news from Lu Xuan and the others, but later he couldn't hold on any longer and went to sleep.
He slept for a whole day and night, which frightened Huo Guang so much that he feared he might get hurt or catch a cold, so he called five or six doctors to take turns to check him. After confirming that he was just too tired, he was relieved and ordered people not to disturb Liu Tan and went to deal with other things himself.
Now that it is safe, the people who retreated into the city before must be properly resettled. Not to mention driving them out, but they can no longer be kept in.
In fact, even if Huo Guang did not send people to expel them, the people would have left after they were sure it was safe.
Their property wasn't in the city, but after seeing how clean and tidy Shuofang City was, most people couldn't help but hope to make more money and move to the city in the future.
When Lu Xuan came back, Liu Tan was still asleep.
Seeing Lu Xuan's tired face and eyes, Huo Guang rarely criticized him and asked, "Where is His Highness?"
He even said gently: "Your Highness is resting, little Kunmi should also go wash up and rest."
Lu Xuan said, "Alright. Captain Li and Captain Wei are still on patrol. My men will set up camp fifty miles north of the city."
Huo Guang sighed in his heart. Apart from anything else, Lu Xuan was truly smart and knew his limits. If he didn't have feelings for Liu Tan, Huo Guang couldn't help but admire him.
Huo Guang nodded and said, "Thank you, Kunmi."
Although he usually calls Lu Xuan "Little Kunmi Little Kunmi", in fact, he has already been able to stand on his own feet for a long time, and calling him "Little Kunmi" to his face is very disrespectful.
Lu Xuan and Huo Guang had nothing to discuss, so he could only bow and say, "Since that's the case, please ask the Prime Minister to find someone to lead the way for me."
Huo Guang gave him a deep look and ordered, "Come, take Kunmi to the palace to rest."
Lu Xuan's half-closed eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this. He had previously sensed Huo Guang's vague dislike for him, so he was prepared to be arranged to stay at the post station.
I didn’t expect Huo Guang to actually let him live in the palace!
Huo Guang met his bright eyes, paused, and thought that although they looked strange, these eyes were truly worthy of the words "bright as stars."
He cleared his throat and said, "Your Highness has already arranged a bedroom for Kunmi before he rested. Now that the city is busy with affairs, please make yourself at your own convenience."
Lu Xuan quickly said, "I dare not disturb Prime Minister Huo."
Then Prime Minister Huo saw him setting off on the road to the palace with a smile on his face.
Huo Guang looked at his back which seemed full of energy and couldn't help laughing for a moment. He was young after all.
After Lu Xuan arrived at the palace, he inquired and learned that Liu Tan had slept for a whole day and night. He wanted to go and see him but didn't dare to, and he didn't dare to rest either, for fear that Liu Tan would wake up while he was asleep and he would miss it.
So he took a cold shower and tried to sober himself up.
Fortunately, Liu Tan woke up not too late and got up in the evening.
After he woke up, he didn't rush to open his eyes, but moved his body first. Although he felt comfortable after getting enough sleep, it was not good because his whole body was sore from sleeping.
As soon as Liu Tan made this move, the entire palace began to move.
Lu Xuan naturally received the news as well and quickly rushed over here.
Over there, before Miao Rui had time to tell Liu Tan that Lu Xuan had arrived, Lu Xuan had already arrived outside the hall.
Liu Tan had just finished washing up at that time, and after hearing this, he quickly said, "Let him in quickly."
When Lu Xuan came in, Liu Tan looked up and saw that he was wearing a black robe, with his back straight. His body, which was once thin due to his youth, gradually became solid and strong, and his originally exposed sharpness gradually subsided.
At that moment, a sentence flashed through Liu Tan's mind: Lu Xuan is already an adult.
Well, Lu Xuan is nineteen years old this year, which is an adult according to the standards of later generations.
As an adult, he is indeed different from before. He looks more mature and stable.
Lu Xuan was a little impatient at first, but after noticing that Liu Tan's beautiful eyes were staring at him without blinking, his steps immediately became reserved but still quick. He also subtly tugged at his clothes to prevent them from getting out of shape due to the movement.
Liu Tan watched him walk up to him, raised his head slightly, and suddenly said, "How did you grow so tall?"
In fact, Lu Xuan had thought of many opening remarks to reminisce about the past. Because of the emergency situation, they could only say a few words before hastily parting. Now that they finally had time to talk slowly, Lu Xuan was actually a little nervous, fearing that he and Liu Tan would be speechless after not seeing each other for a long time.
However, before he could open his mouth, he heard Liu Tan's words, was stunned for a moment and then laughed.
It was just an ordinary sentence, but it seemed to have erased all the distance between them in time and space.
Lu Xuan tilted his head and said, "Is it very high? I think it's just right."
Liu Tan was struggling with the fact that his current height just reached Lu Xuanzui, and he didn't know if he could grow any taller in the future. After hearing this, he subconsciously asked, "What do you mean just right?"
Lu Xuan reached out and hugged Liu Tan, then quickly let go and said, "This is a great opportunity to hold you in my arms."
Liu Tan looked up at Lu Xuan in surprise, wondering how this guy could be so bold.
As a result, when he looked up, he saw that although Lu Xuan was trying to remain calm, the blush on his ears betrayed him.
Lu Xuan lowered his eyes and looked at the person he had been thinking about day and night. He didn't even dare to breathe too hard for fear of startling the other person.
Miao Rui, who was standing by, couldn't bear to watch any longer and said, "Your Highness, would you like to have dinner?"
Liu Tan came back to his senses and coughed lightly: "You are useless, right? But it's getting late, eat something light."
Lu Xuan said softly, "You have the final say."
Liu Tan pursed his lips and thought, "Where did this guy come back from further studies? What's going to happen if this continues?"
He knew that there was only a thin layer of window paper between them, and all that was needed was an opportunity to break it.
When Huo Guang asked him before, he could confidently say that he was obsessed with looks.
But the King of the North, obsessed with beauty, would have any kind of beauty he wanted? After many twists and turns, this person still caught his eye the most.
However, Liu Tan was both delighted and hesitant when he saw Lu Xuan. He always had a strong sense of responsibility. Once he made a promise, he would never let the other party down. But what if one day, his country and the world needed him to let Lu Xuan down?
Thinking of this, Liu Tan wanted to retreat again.
It was unknown whether Lu Xuan had noticed something, but after finishing his meal, Lu Xuan looked at Liu Tan and said, "Can we... talk for a moment?"
Liu Tan seemed to have foreseen something, his heartbeat quickening. Not daring to look at Lu Xuan, he lowered his head and asked, "Talk... what are you talking about?"
"We talked about the Han and Wusun, the future, and... us."
