Liu Tan looked up at Lu Xuan and asked, "Have you decided?"
Lu Xuan said, "I was reluctant to part with it at first, but now that I have the mine, there's nothing to be reluctant about."
Liu Tan chuckled. "I'll design a city for you later, but you'll have to give me detailed information about the oasis, preferably with a map. Otherwise, I'll go over and take a look."
"No need. It's not a good place." Lu Xuan said with a look of disgust.
In his opinion, the Huns had land but did not know how to use it. Even when they settled in the oasis, the houses were built in a mess. Many places were even worse than those of the Wusun. How could Liu Tan be allowed to go there and suffer?
Liu Tan didn't insist either, mainly because he really wasn't suited to running around. Running south was fine, as at least he was still within the Han territory. Going north or west wasn't suitable either, so he didn't insist despite Lu Xuan's words.
Because he was thinking about the two mines, Liu Tan was thinking about how to develop them together with Lu Xuan during his inspection.
The most important thing is whether this matter can convince Liu Che to help Lu Xuan, or even if Liu Che does not send people, it is okay to let the Northern Border Kingdom come. However, it may not be easy for the Northern Border Kingdom to provide manpower, but it can provide assistance from other places, such as military rations.
There was no way. Liu Tan was too greedy for the two mines, but the problem was how to make Liu Che believe it?
Is it better to say that it was a dream from a god, or that he just took a fancy to a place and thought it was good?
Anyway, he just casually pointed out a jade mine. If he likes it and has a strong premonition, it should be... no problem, right?
In order to avoid forgetting, Liu Tan wrote down all these ideas in a note and put it aside, and then went to inspect seriously.
During the inspection, he first took a close look at the elevator and even went up to take a ride on it himself.
Gongshu Can installed glass on the elevator according to his instructions, so that one could see the scenery outside by opening the inner door, and even installed a piece of glass on the front door.
When going up, Liu Tan opened the door and looked around. He found the scenery quite nice. He turned around and was about to say a few words to Lu Xuan when he saw Lu Xuan standing tightly against the wooden board behind him. He was far away from the glass on both sides. He didn't look outside, but stared at the ground.
Liu Tan was stunned for a moment, then leaned over and said with a smile, "Are you afraid of heights?"
Lu Xuan's ears turned red, and she glanced at him quickly: "No, I'm just not used to it."
Because Liu Tan was standing by the window, even he didn't dare to look, and he said he was not afraid.
Liu Tan put his arms around his waist, and their bodies swayed slowly as the elevator rose. For Liu Tan, it felt no different from riding a Ferris wheel or a cradle.
But Lu Xuan was not used to it.
Liu Tan originally wanted to tease him, but seeing Lu Xuan's brows furrowed uncontrollably, he leaned over to comfort him and said, "You won't be afraid if you hug me."
After hearing this, Lu Xuan couldn't tell what he felt for a moment, and finally hesitantly hugged Liu Tan.
It has to be said that the warm body temperature did give him a sense of security.
After going up, although the platform was also very high, Lu Xuan felt much better than being in the elevator because of the added guardrails.
Liu Tan took a look from above and saw that the kayak was already in place. He turned to Lu Xuan and said with a smile, "Do you dare to play?"
Lu Xuan glanced at him silently, then walked to the landing platform and asked succinctly, "Let's go!"
Seeing that he was obviously very nervous but still holding on, Liu Tan couldn't help but pull his hand and said with a smile: "Forget it, forget it, just don't try, I'll give it a try."
The eunuchs in charge of this area suddenly became nervous, and Miao Rui even asked, "Your Highness wants to try?"
Liu Tan responded: "Well, let's try it. Haven't you tried it several times before?"
For safety reasons, Liu Che must not be the first to do this. If something happens, everyone will be waiting to die to atone for their sins.
The fact that he was allowed to come and take a look meant that the safety factor was quite high. He took a careful look and saw that there were four rings on both sides of the kayak tied to the iron poles built on the inside of the slide, which could ensure that the kayak would not flip over.
They also added a safety belt to the kayak as Liu Tan said, but this safety belt was also made of iron buckles.
Lu Xuan ignored Liu Tan's attempts to stop him and silently sat down and fastened his seatbelt, sitting in the front.
The front was more exciting than the back. Liu Tan couldn't help but pull him and said, "Go to the back."
Lu Xuan glanced at him and said stubbornly, "No!"
Liu Tan squatted on the platform and looked at him and said, "Okay, fear of heights is not a big problem. I won't laugh at you. Hurry down and get down."
Lu Xuan silently tightened the horizontal bar at the front of the kayak to maintain stability. He didn't say a word, but his body language made it clear.
Liu Tan had no choice but to sit in the back, fasten his seat belt, and let the guards push the kayak out.
In fact, although it is a spiral slide, it is designed to be very slow for safety reasons, and the speed is not particularly fast when going down.
But perhaps because he hadn't played such a game for a long time, he found it very exciting even at this level, especially when he entered the water at the end and splashed a lot of water. He felt as if he was back to the first time he entered the amusement park.
After the kayak slowly reached the shore due to inertia, Liu Tan unbuckled his seatbelt and came ashore. He bent over and looked at Lu Xuan, who was still unbuckled, and asked with a smile, "How was it? Was it fun?"
After Lu Xuan unbuckled his seatbelt, he turned around and saw Liu Tan, whose clothes were half wet. Because he was bent over, Lu Xuan could clearly see that Liu Tan's wet collar was tightly attached to his collarbone, outlining a beautiful line, and he could also faintly see the slightly pink skin underneath.
Lu Xuan only took one look and felt that even the slightly cold clothes on his body due to being soaked by water could not quench his anger.
Liu Tan didn't notice anything and stretched out his hand and said, "Come up quickly, let's go change clothes."
Even though it's summer, the temperature here is still low. If you don't change your clothes quickly, you might get sick.
Lu Xuan held his hand and pulled himself out of the kayak.
Liu Tan wanted to say something, but after feeling the palm of his hand, which was obviously hotter than usual, he seemed to understand something. He then looked at Lu Xuan, who looked like a gentleman and didn't look away, but he would still glance at him quickly from time to time.
Liu Tan took the cloth handed over by the palace servant, went over to help him wipe the water off his neck and said softly, "Don't catch a cold."
Lu Xuan held his hand. Perhaps because he was more down-to-earth, he felt more confident. He gave Liu Tan a warning look and said, "Stop messing around."
Liu Tan really wasn't making a fuss, because what they needed more now was to change their clothes quickly.
After changing clothes, I walked towards the tree house again. Someone had already cleaned it up, and now the forest was filled with the unique fragrance of plants. The environment was really nice.
Liu Tan and Lu Xuan walked hand in hand in the woods. Occasionally, they could see candles installed on tree branches, and some placed on trees and on the ground. It was quite interesting to see them even during the day.
When he saw the tree house, even though Liu Tan was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Lu Xuan was even more surprised: "How long has this tree been growing?"
