Liu Tan was slightly stunned after hearing this, and quickly said, "No need, just deal with your captives."
He didn't capture it, and if he takes it back, he'll probably be accused of falsely claiming military merit.
What's more, he... he is also going to attack the country. They can, they must be able to, even if they cannot capture the king of the country alive, at least they can catch him and force him to hand over someone to save his life.
Liu Tan would never do such a thing as taking someone else's captive to gild himself. Doesn't he have any respect?
Lu Xuan asked again: "Then how do you want to deal with him?"
Liu Tan reiterated: "It's up to you."
Lu Xuan nodded, stood up and walked in front of Hu Hu Wang. He looked down at Hu Hu Wang for a while and smiled coldly. He took the knife from the servant beside him, and then chopped off Hu Hu Wang's head with the knife.
Liu Tan: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At that moment, Liu Tan's gasp almost choked himself to death. At that moment, Liu Tan's mind was really in a mess.
He was completely bewildered. He never expected that Lu Xuan would be able to chop Cun Fang off so cleanly and neatly, and he did it personally.
Liu Tan's worldview was profoundly shaken. In that instant, he desperately wanted to shake Lu Xuan and yell at him: "You're the Kunmi of Wusun! Weren't you so noble and elegant before? Why did you just start fighting? Leave this rough work to someone else. Wasn't that person just now quite suitable?"
After the storm in his head passed, Liu Tan regained his composure. He looked up and saw Lu Xuan turning around and walking back.
At this moment, a few drops of blood splashed on Lu Xuan's face, like a cinnabar mole, making his face look even whiter. In addition, perhaps because he had just killed someone, Lu Xuan had a murderous aura on his body, and his expression and eyes were somewhat cold and nonchalant. Combined with the background of blood, it actually created a very strong visual impact.
Liu Tan came back to his senses and couldn't help but spit at himself. It was already this late, and he was still sighing over the beauty around him.
After Lu Xuan sat down, he slowly wiped the blood off his hands and also wiped the blood off his face. When he turned around and looked at Liu Tan, he was a gentle and kind young man again.
Liu Tan no longer wanted to comment; he felt a little tired.
Lu Xuan noticed that he was distracted and said gently, "It's getting late, Ah Tan, you should go back and rest first."
Liu Tan felt himself in a trance. He nodded, exchanged a few polite words with Lu Xuan, and then stood up and left.
After Liu Tan left, Huo Guang took the opportunity to say goodbye and walked up to Lu Xuan. He smiled and said through gritted teeth, "What are you doing, little Kunmi?"
Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows: "It's not your request?"
"I didn't ask you to kill anyone in front of His Highness the Fifth Prince!" Huo Guang was going crazy. He began to suspect whether Lu Xuan did it on purpose!
The smile on Lu Xuan's face gradually turned false. "What else? What do you think needs to be done? This is unacceptable, and you still want him to go to the battlefield? Don't look down on him too much. He is more powerful than you think."
Huo Guang - ah, indeed, beheading is mild compared to war. In fact, the Han Dynasty's punishments such as beheading and throwing people in the market, and even being torn apart by five horses would still attract people to watch, and many people were not afraid at all.
Liu Tan couldn't accept Lu Xuan, so he really couldn't face such a cruel battlefield.
Huo Guang was speechless after being confronted for the first time. He could only bow silently and turn away.
Lu Xuan turned to the people behind him and said, "Let's clean it up."
A thin young man behind him asked, "Kunmi, where are the rest of the people?"
Lu Xuan turned and left while nonchalantly saying, "Kill them all."
These four simple words determined the fate of the Huhu royal family.
Liu Tan didn't hear it, but he could guess.
After returning to the tent, he was silent for a long time. Even with his eyes closed, he could see the scene of blood flowing on the ground. Fortunately, Lu Xuan was in that scene, which reduced his fear a lot.
Liu Tan originally thought that he would dream at night, but in fact he slept very soundly and didn't even have a dream. When he woke up the next morning, he was a little puzzled. Could it be that ghosts are afraid of evil people?
After he finished washing up, Huo Guang came over and asked, "Your Highness, are you going there today?"
Liu Tan thought for a moment and said, "Let's go see what little Kunmi's plans are."
He was worried that with Lu Xuan's madness, he might go straight to attack the Cheshi Kingdom. He decided to try to persuade him. Otherwise, would he draw a clear line between them or not?
If a war really broke out between the Han Dynasty and the Huns, even if he found ten more gold mines, it would not be able to make up for the loss.
Before Liu Tan could even approach him, Lu Xuan came over and said, "Ah Tan, I have something to discuss with you."
Liu Tan quickly asked him to sit down and asked, "What?"
Lu Xuan said, "Jie Nation, what do you want to do with it?"
Liu Tan gasped after hearing this. This guy is really a ruthless person. From the tone of his voice, it seems that he is determined to fight to the death.
He asked cautiously, "What do you think?"
Lu Xuan said somewhat embarrassedly, "I raided the Huhu Kingdom before. I guess the Cheshi Kingdom should have heard the news in the past few days. Attacking the Jie Kingdom may not be easy. I'm afraid I'll have to rely on you."
Liu Tan was silent for a moment, then said with a tired look on his face, "I know you want to leave the robbery of the country to me to vent your anger, so just say it directly."
Liu Tan led an army of over 5,000 men and had been stationed in the Western Regions for such a long time. It was impossible for him to leave without taking any benefits. When Lu Xuan fought against Hu Hu before, he had never seen any trace of Liu Tan's men. How could he not guess that his goal was to rob the country?
As for being discovered by the Cheshi State and being unable to fight anymore, Liu Tan believed that this was just an excuse.
It would take several days for the Cheshi Kingdom to receive the news. He believed that with Lu Xuan's ability, he could destroy the Jie Kingdom in a few days!
Lu Xuan laughed when he saw Liu Tan's expression. "I'm not kidding. This time it's really not easy. The Hu Hu are very close to us, so we can attack them. But the Jie Kingdom is not possible. There's the Cheshi Kingdom in between, and it's almost a must-pass route. So we'll definitely be blocked by the Cheshi Kingdom. A surprise attack is unlikely."
Liu Tan nodded: "Then... leave it to us?"
Lu Xuan nodded and said, "But I can send people to contain the Cheshi Kingdom. Jie Kingdom is much closer to the Cheshi Kingdom than Hu Hu Kingdom, so the exchanges are more frequent, and it will be easier to ask for help."
Liu Tan was a little worried: "Cheshi State... Behind Cheshi State are the Xiongnu..."
Lu Xuan raised his hand and said, "Don't worry. The nations of the Western Regions often have conflicts. As long as it doesn't involve the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu won't take action easily."
Cheshi State was an important transportation hub, but that was only for the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty. To other countries, it was just an ordinary neighboring country. So if the two small countries fought, the Xiongnu would certainly not care. In fact, the Xiongnu might even hope that both sides would suffer losses so that they could reap the benefits.
Liu Tan thought the same thing and said, "In fact, there is no need to contain the Cheshi Kingdom. They may not dare to intervene."
The Han and Xiongnu often fought over the Cheshi Kingdom. The Cheshi Kingdom must have been scared by the fighting. Since the Han didn't attack them, they would have watched the fight from the other side. Otherwise, the Han would have had a reason to attack the Cheshi Kingdom directly.
Liu Tan didn't want Lu Xuan to hold Che Shi back for them, because otherwise, when would he ever stop owing him this favor?
It would be fine if he owed someone a favor himself, he would be able to repay it sooner or later, but if he owed someone a favor in the name of the country, I'm afraid there would be no end to it.
Liu Tan has always been very cautious about this. He has no other skills, but he should be able to avoid being a drag on the big man.
As if aware of Liu Tan's concerns, Lu Xuan said calmly, "This isn't just to help you contain the Cheshi Kingdom. The most important thing is to teach them a lesson. Those bandits before included Cheshi people. We can't ignore them just because they're outnumbered."
Liu Tan felt the hairs on his back stand up when he saw Lu Xuan's expression - Lu Xuan had maintained the same expression as he did yesterday when he slashed with the knife!
He said cautiously, "But you also have to be careful of retaliation from the Cheshi Kingdom."
Lu Xuan smiled in an enigmatic manner, "I'm not afraid. They can't retaliate against me."
