But before he could say anything, Zhou Huang, who was standing over there, was eager to raise his hands and feet in approval, and quickly said, "This is a good idea. Your Highness, please send someone over quickly."
Liu Che said nothing, took a quick look at the customs market and turned back. Just as Liu Tan said, the customs market had not yet opened, and the merchants of the Han Dynasty did not dare to go out easily, so there were basically few people outside now. There were some Huns coming to watch in groups of three or two.
Liu Tan’s shop is not the largest in Guan City, but it can be said to be the most luxurious one.
Because he directly had a two-story building built, and the windows on each floor were made of glass, so you could see what was going on inside through the glass.
Whenever the Huns saw this shop, they couldn't help but hide far away and stretch their necks to watch.
It's not that they don't know about the existence of glass, but they don't know how it is made.
It's not that there weren't some Huns who greedily wanted to smash the glass and take it away, but Liu Tan's shop was surrounded by elite guards. When these elite guards stood there, they were like unsheathed swords, and their straight and upright military equipment was enough to scare people away, not to mention that they would not move at any time.
Unless people of noble status like Liu Che and Liu Tan came, they would kneel on one knee in unison to salute, and then stand up in unison to resume their original posture.
It looks like he is not easy to mess with.
But Liu Che just liked this kind of difficult-to-provoke attitude.
Liu Tan took a tour of Guanshi. Although Guanshi was well built, Liu Che was still somewhat dissatisfied with it compared to Tongda City.
Not to mention the current popularity of Tongda City, its planning is not as neat as Tongda City.
The most important thing is that Guan City also drew on the construction design of Tongda City and Shuofang City, and the final decision was made by the Prime Minister.
At that time, Liu Che didn't take it to heart. He thought that since Shuofang City was there, Guanshi couldn't be that bad.
But now it seems... Prime Minister Liu Qumao must have changed the blueprint beyond recognition, causing Guanshi to be worse than Tongda City.
Fortunately, the Huns only had simple tents. In comparison, the Han side looked much cleaner and more prosperous. Liu Che was able to endure it. Otherwise, he would have immediately written a letter to scold the prime minister - he had never seen anyone who couldn't even copy well!
Because it was far from what he expected, Liu Che just took a tour and wanted to go back without interest.
But before going back, another pair of Huns suddenly came over and were stopped by Li Ling and Wei Deng.
They both knew Xiongnu language, and after a brief exchange, Li Ling came over holding a silver box and said, "Your Majesty, this is... a gift from Wu Shilu to Your Highness."
Liu Tan was immediately upset: "After all, he is the ruler of a country. How can his methods be so shameful?"
Giving him a gift but not giving his father a gift, is this trying to sow discord?
Liu Che was not angry. If Liu Tan was replaced by Liu Ju, he might still be angry, but he would not doubt his own son.
There was no way. These two little guys were too naive in his eyes. Not to mention Liu Tan, who seemed to be obsessed with money after arriving in the Northern Border Kingdom. Even the prince was not mature in politics.
Liu Che leaned on the pillow Liu Tan had prepared for him and said lazily, "Open it and see what it is."
Wei Deng came over and opened the silver box, and Li Ling held it in front of the father and son.
Liu Tan looked down and found that inside was a necklace made of unknown material, with a square gold plate hanging underneath.
Or perhaps it should be said that he didn't know what they were made of, because Liu Tan saw glass beads and bone beads among them, mixed with gold and silver beads and some beads he didn't quite recognize.
Liu Tan was about to reach out to see what was written on the small sign when Lu Xuan beside him grabbed his wrist.
He turned around and saw Lu Xuan's face was as gloomy as water. He said, "Send someone to return it to Wu Shilu, and warn him, if you send something like this again, be careful or I will lead my men to invade his royal court!"
Liu Tan was startled by Lu Xuan. The anger in Lu Xuan's tone was almost uncontrollable. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "What on earth is this?"
Lu Xuan glanced at him and then at Liu Che. Liu Che raised his eyelids and said, "Speak."
Lu Xuan took a deep breath as if to calm himself, and when he spoke again, he regained his usual composure: "I once saw this necklace on the Xiongnu Yanshi. However, this necklace seems to be an ominous item for the Xiongnu. Any Yanshi who wore it eventually died a violent death."
Liu Tan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then sneered, "Is Wu Shilu going crazy? He's actually resorting to this kind of tactics? Does he think he can kill me this way?"
"Be careful with your words!" Liu Che glanced at him, then looked at Lu Xuan and said, "Go back and write up your military plan."
Lu Xuan was stunned for a moment and immediately responded, "Yes!"
Liu Tan looked at Lu Xuan and then at Liu Che, smiled and said, "Don't worry, Wu Shilu only dares to use this method to scare me. He definitely wouldn't dare to send troops."
Lu Xuan glanced at him, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. However, he was interrupted by Liu Che just as he was about to say something.
Liu Che said: "If you want to use the elite regiment to protect the city, the number of people is still too small."
Liu Tan said seriously, "I will write a memorial when I return."
As for excuses, they are too easy to come up with. Not to mention that he really has an excuse, even if he directly acted like a spoiled child to Emperor Liu Che and asked for more people to protect him, Emperor Liu Che would probably agree.
Even if I didn't agree before, after meeting Wu Shilu today, I now have a reason to shut up those who oppose me.
Liu Che also thought of this. Wu Shilu would hang around here from time to time, which was simply causing constant psychological pressure on people.
Guanshi is very close to Dunhuang and not too far from Shuofang City, so it is very necessary to increase troops.
Thinking of this, Liu Che looked up at Lu Xuan, whom he had invited to get on the car as an exception. Compared with the unruly Wu Shilu, Lu Xuan, who was sitting there quietly cutting fruit for Liu Tan, looked much more adorable.
He glanced at Liu Tan, who seemed to be completely oblivious to Wu Shilu's actions, and couldn't help but say, "Wu Shilu comes here every day waiting for you. I'm afraid he's got his eyes on you."
Liu Tan's face suddenly turned serious after hearing this: "Indeed, I think he still holds a grudge against the arrow that killed his double and the wolf that Gungun beat to death."
After hearing this, Liu Che's expression suddenly became as complicated as Lu Xuan's. He seemed to be hesitant to speak. Finally, he simply covered his eyes with his left hand, fanned his eyes with his right hand, and said, "Forget it."
Liu Tan: ???
What happened again?
Lu Xuan looked at him with some helplessness. The key point was not only the ominous sign, but also the fact that the necklace belonged to Xiongnu Yanshi.
However, there is nothing wrong with Liu Tan not thinking about it in this way at all.
Lu Xuan was once again thankful that he had spoken directly after understanding her feelings. Otherwise, if he had really followed the Han Chinese custom of hinting, he probably wouldn't be where he is today.
Liu Tan looked at Liu Che and Lu Xuan who seemed a little puzzled, and thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what went wrong.
However, since these two people are unwilling to say it out loud, then there is no problem!
Liu Tan saw that Liu Che hadn't looked very happy since he met Wu Shilu, so he smiled and asked, "Father, the weather might get a little hot in a couple of days. Do you want to go somewhere else to escape the heat?"
Liu Che looked up at him and asked, "Where?"
Liu Tan winked at him. "You know, it was written on the itinerary before. It's that water park."
Liu Che then remembered that there was such a place and asked, "Is it fun?"
Liu Tan nodded vigorously: "Fun!"
Liu Che then nodded his noble head and said, "Go."
Liu Tan immediately said, "Then I'll have someone arrange it right away."
Liu Che couldn't help laughing when he saw that he was still lively and energetic. He remembered his previous speculation and wondered if his son had really awakened some attribute, which was why he had been having trouble with water recently.
If Liu Tan knew what he was thinking, he would definitely retort: How can it be called summer if you don’t play in the water?
But Liu Che soon realized that his son was not some water monster.
Because he found out that Liu Tan couldn't swim!
