After receiving this news, Junxumi confirmed the authenticity of the news again and again. After getting a positive answer, he was also a little confused.
The Xiongnu princess should be on the way. The so-called arrival outside Chigu City is just a rhetorical device of Junxumi. He also wants to put pressure on Liu Tan and tell him that the Xiongnu princess has arrived, but we have not, so it is natural to let the Xiongnu princess go ahead and hold the wedding.
Unexpectedly, the team did not arrive and the bride was gone.
Junxumi asked about the whole process in detail but found nothing wrong. He only said that the Xiongnu princess suddenly disappeared overnight and no one knew what happened. The Xiongnu side seemed to be in a panic.
Seeing that he could not get anything out of him, Junxumi began to strictly order the person who reported the news not to spread the news at will, for he was afraid that Liu Tan would find out.
He even thought that if Liu Tan knew about this, he might become more aggressive.
In fact, Junxumi couldn't hide such an important matter even if he wanted to.
Liu Tan found out that night, but the person who told Liu Tan was not the Xiongnu envoy but a person whom Huo Guang really didn't want to see - Lu Xuan.
This time, Lu Xuanlai learned from his last lesson and did not act secretly. He just kept a low profile, changed into Han Chinese clothes and pretended to be Liu Tan's guard to find Miao Rui.
Miao Rui was overwhelmed when he saw him and didn't know where to take him for a moment.
Although Huo Guang didn't seem to express anything last time, he had privately warned Miao Rui and Big Gao not to bring anyone in front of Liu Tan. Is it so easy to meet the prince of the Han Dynasty?
Lu Xuan noticed Miao Rui's hesitation and whispered, "I have something important to tell Your Highness. It concerns the Xiongnu."
Miao Rui felt relieved when he heard this. As long as he had business to do, it would be fine. It was not just for a secret meeting. If Huo Guang warned him again, he would not be able to bear it.
Miao Rui quickly said, "Please wait a moment, little Kunmi. I will report to His Highness right away."
Miao Rui took him to a more secluded place, trying his best to prevent him from being seen by the people of Da Wusun.
However, when Miao Rui was in a hurry to report to Liu Tan, he happened to meet Huo Guang who was taking a walk outside.
Huo Guang had just seen him talking to someone and stopped him, asking, "What happened?"
Miao Rui betrayed Lu Xuan almost without hesitation: "It was the Kunmi of the Little Wusun who came to visit. He said he had something important to discuss with Your Highness."
Huo Guang felt a pang of anger after hearing this. He really wanted to ask Lu Xuan to come see him first.
Unfortunately, his status was not high enough. After all, he was the head of a country. He came to see Liu Tan because of their personal relationship. Otherwise, he would have been a guest of honor for Liu Che.
After thinking for a while, Huo Guang said decisively: "I will go with you."
Of course Miao Rui didn't dare to stop him and followed him directly to Liu Tan's tent.
Liu Tan was writing a letter to Chen Ajiao at this time. After he sent the letter to Liu Che, he realized that it would be inappropriate not to write to Chen Ajiao. Chen Ajiao was already worried about her daughter, and now there was no news at all. She must be even more anxious.
So he simply asked Princess Danyang to write a letter, and he also wrote a letter. Finally, he thought about it and also included Li Buyan.
Li Buyan sat in Liu Tan's tent, scratching his head while holding a pen and saying, "Well... our journey has been pretty smooth. I don't have much to tell my father."
Liu Tan looked up at him and said, "Writing a letter to report your safety doesn't mean you're writing a story. You can write whatever you want."
Li Buyan said honestly, "My father said that if the journey was safe, there's no need to tell him. If it wasn't safe... there's no need to tell him either, because he can't help even if I tell him."
Liu Tan: ...
Okay, this is really my dad.
But if you think about it carefully, what Li Xi said is absolutely correct. If Li Buyan encounters danger, he will not be able to help.
Liu Tan said helplessly, "If he doesn't let you write, then why don't you write? He might be very happy if you write back."
Li Buyan shrank his neck and said, "I'm afraid my father will beat me for wasting manpower."
Yes, it actually costs a lot of money to send a letter this far these days. After all, you need people and horses, and in fact, more money is spent on horses than on people.
Liu Tan simply knocked on the desk and said, "Just write it if I tell you to. Why so much nonsense? Send it back with my letter. He won't say anything!"
Anyway, he has money and can afford to support both people and horses.
Well, speaking of which, he hasn't ridden the little white horse for a long time since leaving Chang'an City. Anyway, he has nothing to do now, so how about riding it out for a stroll tomorrow?
Just as Liu Tan was thinking about this, he looked up and saw Miao Rui coming in behind Huo Guang.
Liu Tan looked up and asked, "What happened?"
Huo Guang glanced at Li Buyan, who immediately jumped up, grabbed a pen and paper, and ran out, saying, "I won't delay your Highness from discussing important matters with Captain Huo~"
Liu Tan stared in amazement as Li Buyan ran out like a whirlwind. He was very puzzled and asked, "Why is asking him to write a letter the same as asking him to do homework?"
Liu Tan never felt so painful even when doing homework!
Huo Guang calmly said, "Most sons of military commanders are like this. They are only interested in building their careers and never study hard."
Liu Tan looked up at Huo Guang and said with a smile, "You are an exception."
Huo Guang said nothing but, "Your Highness, the young Kunmi came to visit and said he had something important to discuss."
Liu Tan was a little surprised: "He's here? Then please invite him in quickly."
After hearing this, Miao Rui turned around and left, while Huo Guang sat down slowly.
Looking at his straight back, Liu Tan always felt that he seemed to be ready for battle.
Not long after, Lu Xuan, led by Miao Rui, walked into the tent. After entering, he first said to Liu Tan with a smile, "Ah Tan, I hope I didn't disturb your rest by visiting you in the middle of the night."
As he spoke, he nodded calmly to Huo Guang, and then his eyes were fixed on Liu Tan again, as if Liu Tan was the only one in the tent and everyone else was just a background board.
Liu Tan quickly asked him to sit down and had hot soup served. He said, "What's so important that you have to come here in person? It's cold now, and you'll probably get sick if you run around like this. Just send someone to pass on a message next time."
Lu Xuan looked at Liu Tan and said, "But I want to see Ah Tan."
Liu Tan looked at Huo Guang with some guilt and thought to himself, there is a living person here, don't ignore him.
Huo Guang's face was about to turn black, but he was very patient and did not speak rashly, because he was worried that after he opened his mouth, the other party would get entangled in this matter and put the important things aside.
Lu Xuan felt a little regretful. He had never wanted a third person to be interested in his meeting with Liu Tan. He had been so blunt just now just to piss that person off.
Anyway, Liu Tan won't drive him away. If that person doesn't like it, he can only leave on his own.
Unexpectedly, the other party was so patient, so he had to put the matter aside and said to Liu Tan with a smile: "It's okay, men on the grassland are used to it. This kind of weather is not cold. If you don't believe me, just touch it, it's still warm."
Lu Xuan said as he extended his hand.
Liu Tan subconsciously reached out and touched his palm, and then Lu Xuan held his hand, but it was extremely fast, and he let go in just a moment.
Huo Guang on the side coughed heavily twice.
He felt like he was about to give up. He could tolerate Lu Xuan's disregard and his blunt words, but that didn't mean he could tolerate him blatantly flirting with their Fifth Prince!
Liu Tan hadn't thought anything of it at first, but the cough made him feel uncomfortable. He quickly glanced at Huo Guang and found that his expression was probably the most serious he had ever seen him. He could only say vaguely, "I'm glad you didn't get cold. But what brought you here in such a hurry?"
Lu Xuan withdrew his hand naturally, as if he had just done so to prove that he was not cold.
Lu Xuan said, "You all don't know. It seems that Junxumi has stopped the matter. The Xiongnu princess is missing."
"What?" Liu Tan was surprised. "Why did she disappear?"
However, compared to Liu Tan's gossip, Huo Guang's first reaction was: "The Xiongnu princess is missing, so the Xiongnu-Wusun marriage is naturally dead. Your Highness, before the night is too long and there are too many dreams, you should discuss this with Cen Zou."
Liu Tan then realized that this was not the time to worry about how the Xiongnu princess disappeared, but to take advantage of this opportunity to get more benefits from the Great Wusun!
Liu Tan asked cautiously, "Are you sure the Xiongnu princess is missing?"
Lu Xuan nodded seriously and said, "Really? If I wasn't sure, I wouldn't have come here to tell you."
Huo Guang also became alert: "Why is Little Kunmi so sure?"
Lu Xuan drank a mouthful of soup and said, "Because it was my brother Dai Xiumi who took her away."
Liu Tan: ?????
