Liu Che knew that Liu Tan could handle everything. This period of time would definitely not be easy, but it would also be exciting.
As a result, he didn't expect it to be so wonderful. It must be said that even if Liu Che himself said it, he would not dare to say that he could do better than Liu Tan.
However, these were not the most important things. In Miao Rui and Bigo's narration, he soon discovered something. He frowned and asked, "How has Tan'er been eating and sleeping lately?"
Miao Rui and Bigo were Liu Tan's personal servants, so they must have known this very well. However, since Liu Tan hadn't mentioned it just now, they were a little hesitant.
Liu Che glanced at them lightly and said, "Why? Is there anything you can't tell me?"
Miao Rui and Bigo were startled and said quickly, "I dare not. Your Highness has been eating 20% less food these days and sleeping an hour and a half less."
Liu Che frowned. This was not a good sign.
Eating and sleeping are very important to the human body. At Liu Tan's age, he should be able to eat and sleep well. Even if he is a little tired, he should eat more and sleep more, and should not reduce it.
He asked, "Please ask the doctor to come over and take Tan'er's pulse."
Miao Rui and Bigo breathed a sigh of relief. "A while ago, we old slaves gave His Highness some advice, but He said he had nothing to do and rejected it. Fortunately, His Majesty is here now."
Liu Che waved his hand and asked them to quickly bring the doctor over.
The doctor came very quietly, and when he saw His Majesty the King of the North sleeping in a ball, he felt a little worried for a moment, fearing that his movements would disturb the King of the North's sleep. He was afraid that His Majesty the King of the North would miss him!
Liu Che walked in and took a look at him, then reached out and pulled his son's claw out. He was almost slapped by his son in the process, but fortunately he reacted quickly and blocked the other hand.
The people around were all sweating coldly and looked at the emperor cautiously.
It turned out that the emperor was indifferent and didn't mind at all. He even stuffed his son's left hand into the quilt.
The doctor was about to say something after taking the patient's pulse nervously when he saw the emperor making a gesture for him to go out and speak.
After leaving, the doctor said, "Your Highness's symptoms are quite similar to those of a depressed heart. Heart disease requires a heart-related remedy. This old minister can only prescribe a prescription to calm the mind and spirit. However... Your Highness's health is already a little weak. If this continues, it may affect his lifespan."
Liu Che was depressed... thinking of how Liu Tan would cry when he saw him, he chuckled and said, "This kid doesn't like to take medicine, so I won't use it for the time being."
He knew very well why he was so depressed. Now the matter was more than half resolved. When he returned to Chang'an, the other half would also be resolved. Then he could let his son rest in peace.
Thinking about it this way, he made both of his sons unwell because of his trip this time, which really made him angry.
Liu Tan had no idea that the doctor had taken his pulse while he was asleep. He only felt refreshed when he woke up the next day.
When he got up, Liu Che had already left with his elite troops.
Liu Tan thought about it and decided not to chase after him. He simply stayed in the military camp, eating and drinking for free and doing nothing.
Of course he thought so, but unfortunately he was probably born to be a worrywart. He suddenly remembered that the news of his finding Liu Che had not been passed back yet, and he didn't know how Liu Ju was doing in Chang'an.
Think about it, his father went out to sea and disappeared, and there was no news from him. His younger brother ran to look for his father, but also disappeared, and there was no news from him. If Liu Ju was a little mentally fragile, he would probably go crazy.
Fortunately, Liu Tan also brought a lot of carrier pigeons this time, but unfortunately, just like those horses that crossed the ocean, not many survived, only one third.
Liu Tan directly ordered people to release about ten pigeons, because he was worried that the information about the carrier pigeons might be lost and delivered too late, or that they might encounter natural enemies on the way and be killed, which were all very likely.
The information that carrier pigeons can carry is limited, so Liu Tan could only report to Liu Ju that he was safe. As for when to go back...even though he had already cried bitterly to Liu Che yesterday, it was not easy for him to tell Liu Che what he thought. He had to wait for his father's decision.
Just as Liu Tan was thinking about this, he suddenly heard a series of noises.
Because these noises were far away from the camp, they were almost inaudible by the time they reached here, and were easily ignored.
But Liu Tan knew that Liu Che had already started to take action.
He walked out of the tent and looked towards the place Liu Che had chosen. Miao Rui, who was standing beside him, thought he wanted to go over and hesitated before saying, "Your Highness, the Emperor said that if you wake up and want to go, you can go."
What Liu Che said at the time was that if Liu Tan didn't have this idea, then don't tell him about it, but if he did have this idea, then let him come over.
After hearing this, Liu Tan shook his head. He had no intention of going over.
His elite regiment always listens to him, and only listens to the supreme leader when he is not around.
Although everyone in the elite regiment certainly knew that they had to obey the emperor when he was around, they had become accustomed to it through their daily training. When Liu Tan was around, they would subconsciously follow his orders.
What if Liu Che feels like he is just a puppet and becomes unhappy?
There was basically no doubt that there was a powder keg in this battle, so he might as well do something else, like... make some ice for his father to eat when he got home.
This crappy place is so damp and hot, I don't know how his father endured the lack of ice for so long.
After finding out that he still had saltpeter, he began to work on improving his father's living standards.
I have to say, after having the ice basin, Liu Tan felt that he was not so angry anymore.
By the way, he also asked someone to bring the canned peaches he had made earlier, preparing to make some shaved ice for Liu Che to cool down.
Come to think of it, he really didn't seem to see any peach trees nearby, and he didn't know if there were any on this island.
Holding the can, he thought of the sugarcane field. He became angry for a moment and immediately selected some people to take with him to cut sugarcane.
While Liu Tan was cutting sugarcane, Liu Che was standing outside the woods, squinting his eyes to hide his shock.
His son was right. The power of a powder keg was indescribable. He originally thought he could imagine the scene, but it turned out that this thing was even more powerful than he had imagined.
Standing so far away, he could feel the vibration caused by the explosion of the gunpowder barrel, and he even saw some things flying into the sky because of the explosion.
At that moment, he seemed to understand why his son said he didn't want to take out this thing.
He subconsciously wondered if this was the case in the Immortal Realm. If one of these were to be thrown out at random, then… what kind of dire straits would his son be living in?
From beginning to end, he never doubted the origin of this thing. The earth shook when the immortal took action. Doesn't this fit in with the legend?
So is it because the fairy world is too cruel that his son doesn't want to stay there?
Liu Che listened to the explosions one after another, which became louder and closer. Then he saw various animals fleeing in panic. There were also many birds circling in the sky, and following closely behind were the natives.
These natives were already scared out of their wits, and the elite troops went up and captured everyone without any command from Liu Che.
Those natives didn't even resist - they had secretly gone back to see their compatriots who had been captured before, and they knew very well that those people were not dead, which meant that they would not necessarily die if they were captured, but... the noise just now must be that God was angry, and when God is angry, people will definitely die!
They even secretly hoped to pass on the bad luck to these outsiders and use them as sacrifices to God!
Liu Che turned around and ordered, "Go and search to see if there is anything of ours."
I have to say that these natives are probably really used to carrying all their wealth on their backs, and they actually carry all the stolen things with them.
Of course, some of the clothes were put on by them directly, which reminded Liu Che of the four words "a monkey in a crown".
After some searching, they finally found a locked lacquer box.
Fortunately, the lacquer box where Liu Che placed the tiger talisman was exquisite and beautiful enough, and there was a lock on it. The natives regarded it as a good thing and kept it to offer as a sacrifice to the gods. However, it was left there because it was not yet the time for the sacrifice. Otherwise, if it was any later, Liu Che probably would have no chance to find his tiger talisman again.
It would be fine if the tiger talisman really disappeared. The only thing to worry about is that it would be taken away by someone with ulterior motives, which would easily cause trouble.
After getting the tiger talisman back, Liu Che was no longer interested in fighting these natives.
He did enjoy the thrill of expanding territory, but that was based on the fact that the other party was at a similar level to him, and even if he crushed them, they were still human beings.
As for the natives on this island, he simply regarded them as monkeys. After all, they really didn't look like humans.
Although this battle was boring, it still felt good to lead the elite regiment through. His son's elite regiment was really capable of showing off anywhere, which made him a little envious.
When he returned to the camp, he found many long black things in the camp. Liu Che took a look and asked in surprise: "What are these? Why do you have so many of them?"
Liu Tan said, "This is sugarcane, the kind that can be made into rock honey."
Liu Che knew about sugarcane, as some of his subjects had presented it to him as tribute. However, when he saw sugarcane, it was usually prepared by his subjects, either in the form of sugarcane juice or pure pulp. He had never seen the original appearance of sugarcane.
Liu Che had someone bring a piece of sugarcane and peeled off the skin, revealing the white flesh with a hint of yellow. He couldn't help but ask with interest, "Are you going to make rock honey with this? How do you make it?"
Liu Tan's smile froze on his face. Oh, right, sugarcane...how to make it into brown sugar?
