Because there was a grand court meeting the next day, Liu Tan was dragged awake by Lu Xuan. Half asleep, he let Lu Xuan help him wash and dress. When he woke up, he saw Lu Xuan pinching his chin and looking closely at his mouth.
Liu Tan couldn't help blushing when he thought of what happened last night. He slapped his hand away and said, "What are you doing? Don't waste time. I have to go to court."
Lu Xuan frowned slightly: "You should take care of the wound at the corner of your mouth first. Does it hurt?"
Liu Tan rolled his eyes. He was really talking about something that was irrelevant.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Lu Xuan mistakenly thought that his mouth hurt, so he leaned over and kissed the corner of his mouth and said, "Okay, Tan, I won't do this next time."
Liu Tan looked at Lu Xuan and sneered, "Alright then, next time you just lie down on the bed and let me do it."
Lu Xuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Didn't I give in to you yesterday?"
Liu Tan suddenly remembered something and became furious: "I... I'm not ready!"
Lu Xuan was helpless. Who would have thought that the two of them would toss and turn until midnight and still not finish? He wanted to give in to Liu Tan, but in the end he didn't do anything. He just pinched Liu Tan's waist, and Liu Tan's body went limp and fell into his arms. Could he be blamed for this?
In the end, the two of them just went a little further than before, using only their mouths.
Perhaps it was because of the foreign talent that Liu Tan's mouth corners were slightly red and swollen.
This won't work. Lu Xuan has now achieved the goal he set out to achieve. The Han people often talk about getting married and starting a career, but he has always regarded Wei Huo as his role models. Huo Qubing once said, "How can I have a family if the Huns are not yet destroyed?" He doesn't have such big ambitions.
But now that he and Liu Tan have talked about getting married, everyone around them knows about it. If they don't get married, they still can't be considered close. He has to think of a way.
Liu Tan didn't know that Lu Xuan was full of bad intentions, so he happily played the role of a scumbag, threw Lu Xuan in the bedroom and turned around and left.
Before leaving, he said, "If you have nothing to do, go play with Gungun. He still misses you very much."
Lu Xuan was delighted after hearing this and said, "Really? It's worth loving it!"
Liu Tan: Haha, that’s because you are the only one who can play with it!
Now GunGun has grown up and its size has been fixed at that of an adult panda, but Liu Tan always feels that it is much larger than the average adult panda. He doesn't know if it is because the food is too good.
He was worried that Gungun would not be able to adapt to the climate in the Northern Territory, so he tried his best to create a similar environment for him. However, he could only try to maintain the diet, and the climate was really not an option.
Unexpectedly, GunGun turned out to be much tougher than he had imagined, and grew up smoothly.
The consequence is that this thing's weight is increasing day by day, and its strength is also getting stronger and stronger. Now when Liu Tan plays with it, Gun Gun has to hold back his strength, otherwise he might accidentally beat its father to death.
But this is against nature. After all, GunGun is a wild panda. No matter how big the palace is, it can't be bigger than the wild.
So Liu Tan had no choice but to ask someone to take GunGun to the grassland to play occasionally.
Well, the wolves in the nearby grassland were in trouble. Gun Gun didn't attack rabbits or other small animals, but just chased the wolves.
Of course it has no problem dealing with a lone wolf, but if it encounters a pack of wolves, two hands are no match for so many mouths. But it doesn't matter, the Northern Border Kingdom's Bear Prince is always accompanied by people when he travels, and they can also fight against the wolves in a group.
After a round of arrow rain, just leave a few for Prince Xiong to play with.
After suffering a few losses, the wolves realized that there was a little bully in this place, so they all migrated away.
GunGun was a little unhappy because he had no toys, and after winter came, Liu Tan didn't want to let GunGun run outside, worried that he would get frozen.
It just so happens that Lu Xuan is here now, let him play with Gun Gun.
However, when Liu Tan was sitting at the head of the meeting, he didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that Huo Guang and Lin Xiu, the two people closest to him, were staring at his mouth all the time.
It was also thanks to Liu Tan's improved acting skills over the years that he was able to finish the grand court meeting calmly and expressionlessly.
After the meeting, Liu Tan turned to Yan Xingsheng and asked, "Has the letter been sent out?"
Yan Xingsheng immediately said, "It has been sent out. I am a little unsure and asked the Prime Minister for some advice."
Liu Tan smiled slightly...it hurt the corner of his mouth, so he had to return to a blank expression and said, "Well, I feel relieved to have Prime Minister Huo to help you check."
He was relieved, but Xulihu was not at all.
After receiving Liu Tan's letter, Xulihu felt much more relieved. The army of the Western Region Alliance was in disarray, so he was naturally not afraid of the Huns. But the problem was that he didn't have time to deal with those people now. He needed to take power quickly and deal with these Western Region countries when he had power.
A group of wild dogs dared to pretend to be wolves, and they all forgot how they wagged their tails and begged for mercy from the Huns.
However, Xulihu waited for several days, but not only did those people not withdraw their troops, he even received news that those soldiers from the Western Regions were taking advantage of the ice on the Xiongnu River to cross the river!
In the past, the Xiongnu River was a natural barrier to the west of Longcheng, but in winter, this natural barrier is no longer useful.
The winter in Xiongnu is very cold, so the ice on the Xiongnu River is naturally thick, so at least it is no problem for people to pass through.
Upon hearing this, Xulihu was instantly furious: "How dare this brat deceive me!"
But even if he got angry, it was useless. He could only write a letter to Liu Tan to question him.
When Liu Tan received the letter from Xulihu, he smiled at Lu Xuan and said, "Come, let's see how to add fuel to the fire."
Lu Xuan directly handed a document to Liu Tan and said, "This is the information about the troops in the Western Regions. I believe the Xiongnu Chanyu can use it."
Liu Tan wrote a letter to Xulihu with a chuckle, in which he expressed earnestly: You said that the King of Wusun should withdraw his troops, and now the King of Wusun has indeed withdrawn his troops. Unfortunately, those people were blinded by hatred and insisted on not withdrawing their troops to avenge the oppression they had suffered over the years. When their interests were aligned, these people obeyed the King of Wusun, but now they feel that the King of Wusun has violated their interests and refuses to listen. So the King of Wusun had to withdraw his troops on his own. Therefore, I did not deceive you before. To show my sincerity, I offer you a piece of intelligence. Please believe it, Xiongnu Chanyu. The Han Dynasty always keeps its word and never goes back on its word!
Xulihu was stunned when he received the letter. Although he knew that the other side was a coalition of multiple countries, because the other side had performed well in previous confrontations both in strategy and tactics as well as in military strength, he subconsciously thought that the other side was a whole.
Now this is... divided?
Xulihu immediately sent someone to inquire: "Check whether there are any Wusun King's flags among the Western Regions soldiers."
The news soon came that the Wusun King's flag was indeed missing from those teams, and the insider they had planted among them said that the Wusun King did propose to leave because of the weather, but unexpectedly, no one else agreed. The Wusun King had a big quarrel with everyone and left in anger.
Xulihu asked, "Oh? What did the King of Shanshan and the others say?"
The subordinate replied, "The King of Shanshan said that the King of Wusun was stubborn and arrogant, and acted impulsively, and was not capable of achieving great things."
Xulihu sneered: "A bunch of idiots!"
He could tell at a glance that Lu Xuan had left on purpose. Anyone with a bit of common sense would know that if he took people away at this time, how would they divide the spoils in the future?
Unless he was sure that these people would all die here, they would not be able to compete with him for interests.
After all, Xulihu is a man who has experienced many ups and downs. In fact, he has more experience than Wu Shilu. After all, he is a generation older than Wu Shilu.
Now the King of the Northern Territory is using his power to force him to sue for peace and ask the other side to withdraw their troops, while the King of Wusun is taking advantage of the situation to use him to eliminate those small countries in the Western Regions, without having to say anything.
But Xulihu had no choice but to follow their arrangements. It was not that Xulihu could not beat these two people, but that the kings of those small countries in the Western Regions were stupid!
Xulihu also sent people to communicate with them, and explained that there was no benefit in fighting now, and it would only benefit the King of Wusun. If they fought here, the King of Wusun would steal their homes next time.
However, no matter which source of information came from, it showed that after the King of Wusun withdrew his troops, his troops returned directly to the Wusun Kingdom, and the King of Wusun arranged things and then turned around and headed straight for the Northern Border Kingdom.
It would take several days to travel from the Northern Border Kingdom to the Wusun Kingdom even if one worked non-stop. It was impossible for Lu Xuan to send troops in such a short time.
When Xulihu's predictions failed, the smaller nations assumed they had threatened Xulihu, and they were jubilant. At a meeting, they all declared, "Our territories are scattered. Not to mention Lu Xuan doesn't have the capability, even if he did, he wouldn't be able to send troops anytime soon. We should quickly capture Dragon City and then send back reinforcements. Furthermore, once we capture Dragon City, what will we have to worry about? Are you going to go back to that shabby place?"
Their situation is basically the same as that of the Cheshi Kingdom. Although it is a country, it is actually just a city. How can it be compared with the territory of the Xiongnu?
Everyone thought so too. Once Dragon City was captured, the one who contributed the most would occupy it, and the rest of them could occupy other cities. Well, the only one that no one had claimed was probably Madam Fan City, because this city was too close to the Surrender City, and everyone couldn't afford to offend the King of the North.
So Xulihu was sincere for once, but because the other side was too stupid, they went in the opposite direction. Xulihu immediately became furious and began to gather soldiers to teach these people a lesson.
He didn't want to mobilize troops because he was worried that it would weaken his own strength and that someone would take advantage of the opportunity to invade.
But those small countries in the Western Regions are too unreliable, and no one can tolerate them.
It was already good that Xulihu could endure to this extent. If it were Liu Tan, he would not be able to bear it any longer and would beat them all into pig heads.
Before dispatching his troops, Xulihu summoned everyone. He looked around and said, "No matter what hatred we may have, the Western Region coalition has now threatened Longcheng. The army has been assembled and will be dispatched soon. Anyone who retards their efforts at this time will be unacceptable to the world!"
Of course, Xulihu would never send all his troops to the front line, so he started talking to them one by one, and he poached some soldiers from both friendly and enemy forces.
There is no way. Although the two sides seem to be at odds now, if Longcheng is destroyed, no one will benefit. Looking for trouble at this time is tantamount to seeking death.
So everyone unanimously decided to settle down for a while. Even Wu Shilu's subordinates did not object. They did not send anyone because they were too few in number. But they also needed a period of peace to look for Wu Shilu's youngest son. What they were most worried about now was that the child was killed by Xilihu.
But judging from the current information, Xulihu did not attack the child. This is strange. Where did the child go?
Not to mention them, Xulihu also wanted to know where Wu Shilu's children had gone?
While the Xiongnu were still trying to find the whereabouts of Wu Shilu's young son, Liu Tan looked at the child in front of him with wide eyes and asked: "When did you steal Wu Shilu's young son from Chang'an?"
