Li Ling's complexion changed on the spot, and he directly put his sword across the slave's neck and shouted, "Presumptuous!"

Where had Dou Sibo seen such a battle before? Seeing the head with its eyes open and looking straight at it, his complexion turned pale, and he almost lost his ability to speak.

Liu Tan's face was as deep as water, but he didn't think there was anything wrong. He was grateful to Lu Xuan for beheading other people in front of him. Now he can face such a scene without changing his face and heartbeat.

He listened to Li Ling pressuring the slave, but the slave said blankly, "Okay, this man was sent to die, drag him down and kill him."

Since the people of Wuhuan didn't care about the life and death of this slave, Liu Tan naturally didn't care either.

Li Ling immediately ordered the slave to be dragged down. As for the box containing the head...he looked at Liu Tan with some hesitation.

Liu Tan said: "This man looks like a Han Chinese. The Wuhuan people will not send the head of an irrelevant person for no reason. Send someone to ask if anyone knows this person."

Li Ling responded, picked up the box and walked out.

Liu Tan glanced at Dou Sibo and said flatly: "Go back and drink a bowl of soothing soup, remember that you are the Prime Minister of Yan State, you must get used to this kind of thing, don't do this in the future."

Dou Sibo looked at Liu Tan with a calm face, almost crying: What kind of life are you living in the northern border country?Do you get sent to the head every time you move?

Not long after, Li Ling came back and said, "Your Highness, someone has recognized him just now, and that person is the sheriff of Liaodong County."

Liu Tan was not surprised when he heard this, he had already felt something in his heart before, and the head who was sent by Wuhuan to disgust him must not be some unknown person.

He sighed deeply and said, "The corpse must have been ruined, carve a wood god for him, and bury him properly."

Li Ling glanced at him cautiously, then backed away with a reply.

Dou Sibo recalled the rumors about the King of the Northern Territory, and asked with some concern: "Your Highness, what shall we do next?"

Liu Tan gave him a strange look: "What's the matter? I should go. If I don't leave, I won't be able to catch up with Zhengdan."

Dou Sibo:? ? ?

Been to Zhengdan?Wait, this is not the King of the North at all, shouldn't he rush over and stab the leader of the Bo Xi Clan?

His Royal Highness the King of the Northern Realm has never swallowed his anger in the legend.

Of course, Liu Tan didn't swallow his anger. The calmer he is now, the higher the interest he will charge in the future.

At the beginning, he only stabbed one person in Wushilu in the end, but now...he wants the Bo Xi family to exterminate the family!

Facing Dou Sibo's unbelievable gaze, Liu Tan still explained: "General Li Xi has already made arrangements. If I do something now, it is likely to disrupt General Li Xi's arrangement. If Liaodong County does not fight Come down, but lose the big because of the small."

Dou Sibo thought for a while and felt that this was the same reason, so he didn't ask any more questions, and went on to prepare to sort out the important things for Liu Tan, trying to finish all these things before letting him leave.

After they all left, Liu Tan let go of the brush that he was holding tightly in his hand just now.

Miao Rui immediately helped him put on a new writing brush quietly, and Liu Tan sighed and said, "Isn't this place in Yanguo bad for geomantic omen? I've broken several brushes since I came here."

Then Miao Rui said cautiously: "His Royal Highness, calm down, it will hurt your body."

Liu Tan took a deep breath, calmed himself down and said, "These people challenge my patience all day long. Mrs. Bo Xi better not do anything else, otherwise I really don't want to bear them."

Mrs. Bo Xi also seemed to know the principle of accepting as soon as it was good, so she didn't send anything more.

Liu Tan breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little regretful. If Bo Xishi was doing something else, so that he could directly lead people to kill him, anyone who said he would be right.

However, Bo Xi seems to have just seen that the king of the northern border did not do anything, but spread rumors that the king of the northern border was also afraid of the Wuhuan people and was about to run back. The northern border country.

Such rumors are actually not painful to Liu Tan. Sometimes military exploits are the best counterattack, and it won't take long anyway.

On the contrary, Li Ling and Wei Deng were so angry that they ran to Li Xi and asked him to send troops immediately.

These two are Li Xi's juniors, so he didn't give face, and just stared at him: "What are you doing? It's freezing in winter, where is the best time to send troops?"

Li Ling said angrily, "Should they be allowed to slander His Highness?"

Wei Deng also said: "If we had fought in the northern border country, how could His Highness suffer this grievance?"

Li Xi has nothing to do with these two bastards. The most important thing is that these two are no longer the little-known juniors in the past. They all have military achievements, and their ranks are not low at this age. If the method is not pleasing to the eye like before, he will be dragged over and beaten up.

The children of the military commander's family are all rough-skinned and thick-skinned.

Li Xi had no choice but to say: "Then go and ask His Highness to see if His Highness agrees. If His Highness agrees, it's fine."

Before, they were all worried about the people in Liaodong County. To be precise, Liu Tan was alone. In Li Xi's eyes, even if those people died, it was a necessary sacrifice.

Then he can only wait. If Liu Tan is angry and doesn't want to wait anymore, what are they afraid of when they have such a big killer as black powder?

Li Ling and Wei Deng stopped immediately. If they could get a positive answer from Liu Tan, why would they bother Li Xi?

Isn't it because Liu Tan warned them?

In desperation, the two of them had no choice but to prepare to follow Liu Tan back to the northern border country.

Liu Tan knew that Li Ling and Wei Deng would definitely not be convinced, but that was useless. He didn't fight the first time he knew that Liaodong County had fallen, so he wouldn't be impulsive now. If you say you want to go, you must go.

The only thing Liu Tan is worried about right now is probably Liu Ku, so basically he is asking Fu Yu and Cen You to be optimistic about King Yan.

Fu Yu and Cen You had tears in their eyes, although they were a little reluctant in their hearts and wanted to follow their Highness, they still complied.

But no matter how worried Liu Tan was about Liu Ku, he had to go back to preside over the affairs of the northern border country. Although Liu Ku had experienced many separations, this time he still cried into tears, holding Liu Tan's neck and not letting go. Vaguely shouting: "Brother Huang~"

Liu Tan patted his head. It was true that he was born in the royal family and had no worries about food and clothing, but it was also true that he was precocious. At this age, Liu Ku already remembered things, and the first thing he learned was separation.

Apart from this matter, Liu Tan originally thought that Zhengdan would be relatively calm, and Lu Xuan had already arrived in the northern border country, which made him feel like an arrow.

Liu Tan found a sunny and sunny day to go, but even though the sun looked very warm, it didn't feel warm when it shone on his body.

The further you go to the northern border country, the warmer the temperature will be. Liu Tan is also a little strange. He really never thought that there would be a day when he would feel that the winter weather in the northern border country is good.

On the day Liu Tan returned to Shuofang City, he basically came out to pick him up. Lu Xuan even drove a long way with someone to pick him up halfway and walked back.

When meeting Liu Tan, Lu Xuan carefully sized him up for a long time before he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, I'm not thin."

Liu Tan couldn't laugh or cry: "I'm not going to some poor place."

Lu Xuan said: "Yan country is not rich either."

From the letters they exchanged, Lu Xuan could tell that Yan Country was actually not very good, or it was worse than the previous Northern Border Country.

At the beginning, the Northern Kingdom was only harmed by the Xiongnu, so it couldn't do it, but now the Yan State is not only threatened by the Huns, but also faces the threat of Wuhuan, and Liu Dan and his prime minister in the country are very exploited. All these add up, Yan The people of the country are living a much more miserable life than the people of the northern border country.

Liu Tan had no choice but to say, "I'm not as poor as I am over there."

Lu Xuan held his hand and said with a smile: "That's true, have you already decided to start the spring expedition?"

Liu Tan nodded: "I'll go back after Zhengdan, you..."

Lu Xuan immediately said: "The palace over there has already been built, and the palace is being built, and I need someone to preside over the affairs."

Liu Tan hugged his waist and didn't say a word. He knew very well that even if the fight was over and Liaodong County was taken back, there would be more things to do next. He needed to put Yan Guo on the right track, not to mention that all the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, at least a little bit more. , Don't look back, [-]% of the people are poor, and then there are rich households, there is no middle value.

Such a social structure is unstable and prone to problems.

But the country of Yan is different from the country of the northern border. For various reasons, Lu Xuan can freely travel to and from the country of the northern border, but he cannot go to the country of Yan so freely.

Liu Che basically turned a blind eye to Lu Xuan's travels to and from the northern border country, and so did other courtiers.

But it would be wrong if he went to the country of Yan. The princes and kings were not allowed to leave casually. He can go to the country of Yan freely. Will he be able to come and go freely in Chang'an in the future?

Lu Xuan played with his hair, knew what he was thinking without listening to him, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, at worst I'll pretend to be your guard and go with you."

Lu Xuan originally just said it casually, but thinking about it this way feels a little irritating. As for whether pretending to be a guard will humiliate his status, he is not worried about it. If he can, he would rather be a guard and stay by Liu Tan's side every step of the way. .

Liu Tan laughed lightly after hearing this: "That's not acceptable. How dare I let King Wusun be my bodyguard. If this gets out, I'm afraid they will suspect me of rebellion."

Lu Xuan whispered: "Then let no one know, didn't you give me a mask? I'll just wear it."

Liu Tan thought about it for a while, Lu Xuan followed him with a mask like the Sanxingdui bronze man, and suddenly he felt a little uncomfortable: "You can do it."

Lu Xuan didn't force it either, but he was still trying to find a way to see if he could go with Liu Tan.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that he really had an opportunity, and this opportunity was given to him by the Huns.
