I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Iron eater?

Wu Shilu took a deep look at the strange animal that was slowly walking to Liu Tan's side at this time, and sat down and hugged Liu Tan's thigh.

Just now he only saw the afterimage of the opponent's white fur, and thought it was an animal like a white wolf, but he didn't expect it to be an iron-eating beast.

Wu Shilu watched the king of the North rub the head of the beast, then threw a piece of wood to it, the beast obediently let go, hugged the piece of wood and swallowed it down, and the wood fell apart immediately.

Even if he had never seen this kind of animal, he could still see how strong the bite force of this ferocious beast was. He looked at the little prince of the big man again, and suddenly smiled and said, "Please, Your Highness."

Liu Tan glanced at the wolf on the ground, feeling even more annoyed by Wushilu.

A creature like a wolf is not raised from a young age and is rarely obedient to its relatives. Although it is a close relative to a dog, it is not the same as a dog after all.

This wolf should have been raised by Wu Shilu, but it was just like that, and Wu Shilu didn't even look at it even after it died.

For a while, Liu Tan lacked interest. If it wasn't because he represented the big man and didn't want to lose the big man's face, he might have turned around and left.

It has to be said that the only advantage of the prairie man is that there are not so many red tapes at the banquet, and a plate of mutton was served as soon as he sat down.

At this time, a group of men and women were dancing around the blazing bonfire in the middle, and some women even walked past him in circles.

Liu Tan didn't even look at them, and was going to fill his stomach first so as to deal with Wushilu.

Just now Wu Shilu's dismounting authority was beaten back, and there must be others waiting for him.

Liu Tan lowered his head and ate a mouthful of mutton, but he almost spat it out after chewing it—what does it taste like?

It’s fine if the mutton has a strong mutton smell, but there is no smell at all. He looked up at the roasted lamb that was being turned over on the rack, then looked down at his own mutton, and scanned the expressions of other people. The Huns ate with great relish, and couldn't help but wonder if he was the only one who had been manipulated.

Liu Tan struggled to swallow the mutton, and looked down at the plate. At this moment, he suddenly felt his arm sink, and when he turned his head, he found that Gun Gun was sitting next to him, putting its big head on his arm. On the ground, a pair of dark eyes looked at him seriously.

Looking at those innocent eyes without any haze, Liu Tan's heart almost melted. It's hard to imagine that just this cute creature took the life of a wolf swiftly and violently.

He picked up a piece of mutton and handed it to Gun Gun's mouth and asked, "Do you want to eat?"

Gun Gun never refused his food, he opened his mouth and swallowed it, and then looked at Liu Tan expectantly.

Seeing that it was well received, Liu Tan simply started to feed it little by little. Anyway, he didn't like this mutton, and he didn't put too much salt in it.

He doesn't know if pandas can eat salt, but he knows cats and dogs can't eat too much. Anyway, if you don't know, just pay attention, and don't give it if you can. This mutton is just for it to eat.

Wu Shilu, who was sitting next to Liu Tan, couldn't help feeling a little subtle when he saw Liu Tan feeding his pet mutton like no one else was watching.

He took a sip of kumiss and said, "Such a beast should be fed raw food, so as to maintain its wildness."

Liu Tan glanced at him inexplicably: "Our family can eat whatever they want, why keep it wild? I don't want it to go hunting."

Wu Shilu took another look at the black and white ferocious beast, and felt a little unbelievable. It was either fed wood or cooked food. It looked round and cute. How could it kill a wolf so easily?

Seeing that Wu Shilu was either staring at him or Gun Gun, Liu Tan was afraid that he would feel ashamed to deal with Gun Gun, so he hurriedly said, "Shan Yu went here personally, maybe it's not just to treat me to a meal. ?”

Still a bad meal.

Wu Shilu looked at Liu Tan, and found that the other party's black eyes became brighter and brighter against the firelight.

He smiled slightly and said, "Of course not, I just want to discuss a business with His Highness."

Liu Tan immediately became vigilant: "Guan City is about to open up, and Shan Yu can buy whatever he wants, so why bother to find me?"

Wu Shilu held the golden wine glass and looked at the young prince's face and drank it slowly before saying, "Your Highness will not let this kind of thing appear in Guanshi."

Liu Tan's heart moved, did Wushilu want to buy iron?

If it's true... is this person out of his mind?How could I sell him iron?

Liu Tan said with a cold expression: "I won't sell things that won't appear in the Guan market."

Wu Shilu didn't know why, the more he saw Liu Tan's indifferent and reserved appearance, the more he teased him, so he deliberately said: "Your Highness, don't rush to refuse, maybe you will agree to my conditions?"

Liu Tan looked at him coldly: "No need."

But Wu Shilu said as if he didn't hear his refusal: "I didn't know there was such a thing as coal during the peace talks before, so it's not too late to add it now, right?"

Liu Tan's expression moved slightly: "Do you want to buy coal?"

Wu Shilu deliberately said: "Otherwise, what does Your Highness think I want to buy?"

Liu Tan didn't speak, why did Wushilu suddenly think of buying coal?Or did he find out that his article on coal stopped him last time?

Seeing him groaning silently, Wu Shilu said: "Since coal can be sold to An Yanmi, it is not something that cannot be sold."

An Yanmi?Liu Tan was stunned for a moment before he realized that this was Lu Xuan's Wusun name. He smiled slightly and said, "An Yanmi is now the Wusun King of a big man. I sold him to my own people. Of course I don't have any worries. As for the single Yu...please also hand over your credentials, this king cannot decide on this matter."

Wu Shilu suddenly got up, went to Liu Tan and knelt down and said, "I heard that An Yanmi often goes to the capital of the northern kingdom to live for a few months."

Liu Tan turned to look at Wushilu: "What did Shan Yu want to say?"

Wu Shilu smiled slightly: "It seems that His Highness likes beauties from the Western Regions."

When he said this, he leaned forward slightly, looked at Liu Tan seriously and asked, "Why don't I give some to Your Highness?"

Liu Tan frowned slightly and stood up straight away, "Please focus on yourself, Shanyu. Guess if this word reaches An Yanmi's ears, will he invade more of your territory?"

Wu Shilu sneered: "It's just the king of the little Wusun clan, His Highness values ​​him too much."

Liu Tan said calmly, "That's right, the king of the little Wusun clan can't be beaten by any of Shan Yu's generals."

Wu Shilu's complexion sank and he was about to say something, but Liu Tan said directly, "It's getting late, I should go back to rest, I hope that next time we meet, Shan Yu will take good care of his golden crown."

When Liu Tan left, he didn't hide his hostility. Anyway, even if he showed good intentions, the other party might not believe it. On the contrary, it would be easy for Liu Che to misunderstand something. It's better to explain clearly.

Seeing his back as he walked away, Wu Shilu suddenly smiled.

Captain Zuo, who was promoted by him before, said angrily: "This boy from the Southern Dynasty is too rude. Shan Yu came to talk to him in person, and he insulted you like this. Do you want Shan Yu..."

Wu Shilu suddenly said, "Don't touch him."

Captain Zuo was a little surprised: "Shan Yu?"

Wu Shilu narrowed his eyes slightly: "Don't you think he is different from all the people from the Southern Dynasty?"

Captain Zuo was a little dazed: "Huh?"

Wu Shilu smiled meaningfully: "He doesn't have the hypocrisy of those Southern Dynasty people."

Captain Zuo thought to himself that it would be better to be a little hypocritical, at least he would save face.

But he saw that his family Shan Yubai was in a good mood after making a trip, so he didn't dare to say anything more.

Only when Liu Tan returned to his territory did he feel at ease.

Zhou Huang led people to welcome him, with a look of admiration on his face: "Your Highness is welcome."

Liu Tan waved his hand, only feeling that he was quite tired this night, and his heart was tired.

But he still managed to get someone to bring the map, and wrote a letter to Lu Xuan by the way.

He was not surprised that Wu Shilu stared at Lu Xuan, but he was outspoken just now, as if he had given Lu Xuan enough hatred. a psychological preparation.

As for Tutu... Naturally, Kou Zhengda first selected a place to investigate. He estimated that his time would be at most one day when passing through Dunhuang, and he had no time to go on site inspection.

Hey, his father's waywardness is really a headache.

But what can I do?Even if the emperor is wayward, he still has to be coaxed.

Liu Tan circled a few plots of land, and then wrote letters to Liu Che non-stop.

It was actually not appropriate for him to meet Wu Shilu in private, and it was strange that Wu Shilu only met him to buy coal.

With the Xiongnu's current level of technology, he was sure that the coal in the hands of the Huns would be used for heating. How could there be any need for Wushilu to make a trip in person?

After Liu Tan finished writing the letter, he set off to return to Shuofang the next day.

When passing by Dunhuang, Kou Zhengda greeted him from afar again.

However, when Liu Tan saw him, he found that Kou Zhengda was a little strange—he looked flushed, as if something good had happened.

In the past, Kou Zhengda always frowned and looked sad every time he saw him, but now it seems as if all the great difficulties have been solved.

Liu Tan couldn't help asking, "What happened to you looking so happy?"

The smile on Kou Zhengda's face never disappeared. He rubbed his hands and said, "Your Highness, you have to choose a new place. This time, why don't you choose a few more places?"

"Huh? So what happened to that place? Do you have other uses? Didn't I choose three places? There must be one that is suitable?"

Liu Tan just asked casually, but suddenly he seemed to remember something, turned his head and asked vigilantly, "You don't mean to tell me... you dug something up?"

Kou Zhengda nodded vigorously, and said mysteriously: "Your Highness, wait a moment, I will ask someone to show it to His Highness, and His Highness will be surprised."

Liu Tan: ...

No, he's used to it, as long as the ones he digs up aren't aliens, he won't be surprised.
