Chapter 107 [4 More] 107
Liu Tan's eyes reflected raging flames, and his expression was almost blank for a moment, as if he didn't even turn his head anymore, just sat on the horse and looked at the direction blankly, without speaking or moving for a long time.
The little white horse he was riding seemed to feel uneasy and moved its hooves.
Wei Buyi, who was by Liu Tan's side, was also a little startled: "This...why can't I see anyone coming and going, has the Huns already succeeded?"
Liu Tan felt even colder when he heard him say this. He also saw the flames but did not see any traces of the Huns army. Generally, although the burning, killing and looting were burned in the front, it would only happen when the three behind finished their work and left. Do.
That's why he didn't know how to react for a while.
Wei Buyi's mind was more delicate than Li Buji's, so he immediately realized that Liu Tan's mood was wrong, but he had no experience in dealing with such matters, so he could only bite the bullet and ask: "Your Highness... what should we do now? "
Liu Tan slowly came back to his senses, his voice was fluttering: "Go ahead, go put out the fire, live to see people, die to see corpses!"
His expression looked calm, but Wei Buyi knew that Liu Tan might be acting on instinct now.
If Wei Buyi knew some psychological knowledge, he would have known that Liu Tan had activated his self-protection mechanism and directly cut off all emotions.
Liu Tan has only one thought in mind now: to find Lu Xuan.
Whether it is life or death, you must find each other.
Liu Tan led the people all the way to a sea of flames, but Wei Buyi was about to die of worry.
This fire seems to be burning for a few days without any problem, how to put out the fire?The climate in the Western Regions is dry and lacks water. It is difficult to extinguish these fires even with sand and gravel. The best way is to wait for the fire to extinguish itself.
But... their Fifth Highness may not be able to bear the excitement.
For a while, Wei Buyi was also a little bit embarrassed, he didn't have much contact with Lu Xuan, but he also knew that Lu Xuan would always try his best to help them, oh, or to help their Fifth Highness.
Thinking of such a good man being buried in the sea of fire, it would be a lie to say that it is not a pity.
Liu Tan and his party had already felt the heat brought by the fire when they were still about five miles away from the Wangcheng of Xiaowusun.
If it weren't for Liu Tan, it would be considered a stormy moment, and he would really be emotionally broken.
A person who was still talking and laughing at Yanyan in front of him two days ago may now become a wisp of dead soul in this fire.
If possible, he even hoped that the Huns would survive, at least giving him a chance to save them.
Just when Liu Tan was thinking about this, Wei Buyi suddenly said: "Your Highness, there are people ahead!"
Although Liu Tan was immersed in his own emotions, he could still hear Wei Buyi's words. After hearing it, he quickly raised his head, with murderous intent in his eyes - he intuitively thought that the people who appeared here should be the Huns.
As a result, when he looked up, he found that half of the face of the opposite person illuminated by the fire looked familiar.
The man galloped over on horseback and shouted, "A Tan!"
The voice was familiar, very familiar.
The fluent Chinese also has a little accent of the Western Regions, which is not obvious, but can be heard.
What's more, there is only one person in the Western Regions who would call him that, only Lu Xuan.
When Liu Tan heard these two words, he felt a shudder all over his body, and all the emotions of running away from home returned to himself in an instant. Stopped, in a daze, waiting for Lu Xuan to come over.
After the distance was close enough, Liu Tan realized that Lu Xuan looked very embarrassed at this time, a few strands of hair were loose and floating around his cheeks, there were also a few black marks on his face, and the leather armor on his body was also partially damaged.
But... people are whole, alive.
After Lu Xuan ran over, he quickly said: "This place is dangerous, follow me first."
He turned the horse's head while speaking, and said in passing: "Offended."
Then she reached out to wrap Liu Tan's waist and carried him to her horse.
Lu Xuan still didn't trust Liu Tan's riding skills, or he felt a little uneasy about letting Liu Tan go fast alone, anyway, Abu was not hunched over.
Liu Tan didn't refuse either. After falling in front of Lu Xuan, he raised his head to look at Lu Xuan, feeling the rapid breathing of the other party, the warmth radiating from the skin, and even the faint heartbeat.
In an instant, all his worries disappeared, leaving only the exhaustion and happiness of the rest of his life. He couldn't help shrinking his body as close as possible to Lu Xuan, as if only in this way could he feel that the other party was a living person, not himself. dreaming.
While leading him to run in another direction, Lu Xuan touched Liu Tan's face uncomfortably, but he didn't say anything. It's obviously not a good time to talk at such a fast speed.
At this moment, Wei Buyi and the people brought by Liu Tan could only run along blankly.
There is no other way if you don't run away. The five Highnesses have all been kidnapped by the other party. Where else can they go if they don't follow?
After running for more than half an hour, Lu Xuan slowed down Abu's pace, and then he let out a long breath, and asked with a little panting: "Didn't I leave a letter saying I was fine? Why are you still here? What if we meet the Huns?"
Liu Tan tilted his body slightly and turned his head to look at him: "The royal city was burned, so you said it's okay?"
If this is all right, he doesn't know what can be called something!
Lu Xuan sighed: "I've expected this, what they burned was just an empty city."
Liu Tan was full of question marks, and began to wonder if Lu Xuan's Chinese expression was inaccurate, why he couldn't understand?
Lu Xuan saw his question and explained as he walked, "It's not been a day or two since the Xiongnu wanted to use troops against us. Even since the father left, they have been plotting this matter all the time. Later, the previous Xiongnu Shanyu died. This was a delay, but Wu Shilu is different from his father. Wu Shilu himself is cruel and easy to kill. If his father is in power, it may take a while longer to prepare for it until we are completely sure. Time, but since Wu Shilu came to power, this matter has been advanced a lot. The Xiongnu has planned for a long time, even if we knew it, it would be difficult to be his opponent, not to mention that before that, Hu Hu, Che Shi, and Jie Guo were all Helper of the Huns."
When Lu Xuan said this, he even said in a relaxed tone: "Thanks to you, it has relieved us a lot of pressure. Otherwise, even if I can lead troops to attack Huhu by surprise, I may not have the strength to attack Jieguo again. This is Wusun's debt." Big man, I remember clearly."
Liu Tan understood and didn't understand, but he still said, "I'm avenging myself, this...you don't have to think too much about it."
Lu Xuan didn't continue this topic: "Actually, whether it's Huhu, Cheshi or Jieguo, they can't do much harm to us, but the Huns are different. The cavalry of the Huns... no one in the Western Regions of the Grassland can defeat us. Young successor, there is no way to make Wusun stronger overnight, so we can only start to transfer the people in the royal city little by little, um... In the words of you Han people, it is to move the capital, but all this is done in secret .”
Hearing this, Liu Tan finally understood, and said clearly: "So you have transferred everyone out before this, leaving an empty shell for the Huns, so the Huns burned this empty city?"
Lu Xuan nodded: "That's right, I made some disguises to deceive them."
When Lu Xuan said this, he couldn't help but look back, with a rare look of sadness in his eyes, Liu Tan understood what he called a disguise in an instant.
To be able to deceive the Huns, the Huns must mistakenly think that the Wusun people are still guarding the city, so Lu Xuan must really send people to guard the city, but they are destined to be unable to defeat the Huns, so at this moment, some defenders people...
Liu Tan was silent for a while and said: "Since this is the case, I feel relieved, hey, stop, stop, you are fine, I should go back."
At this moment, he understood clearly that the location of Lu Xuan's new city must be very hidden, it might be similar to the new city he built.
He didn't tell Lu Xuan the address of the new city, so naturally he couldn't propose to visit his new city.
Lu Xuan seemed to know what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "It's all here, let's go and have a look, not to mention it's not safe to drive at night, what if we meet the Huns?"
Since Lu Xuan said so, Liu Tan did not refuse, and followed him all the way to the place where the new king city is.
In fact, the new Wangcheng is not too far from the old Wangcheng. After all, it is too far away to make a low-key move.
It’s just that when Liu Tan saw the new royal city, his eyes were sour and tears almost flowed—what kind of city is it? Point, the city walls are like this, the houses that the common people live in are naturally not very good.
And he saw even many families living in felt houses.
Liu Tan whispered, "This city...hasn't been built yet?"
Just when he was thinking about how to help, he heard Lu Xuan say: "That's it, the Huns won't give up if they can't find us, so this is just a temporary foothold, where is the real king city built?" Haven't figured it out yet."
He looked down at Liu Tan, and suddenly smiled brightly: "Don't worry, our family is good at nomadic herding, not to mention the people and property are well preserved, it's just a lost city."
It's just that a city is lost... To put it simply, a nation without a royal city is not considered a country.
From stable residence to displacement, do nomads really like nomadism?Impossible, otherwise what kind of city would they build?
Liu Tan couldn't help but feel a little sad when he thought that Lu Xuan would have to eat and sleep in the open in the future. Although he knew that with Lu Xuan's status, he would definitely not suffer much, but... he still felt sad.
So after dismounting, he looked at the surrounding environment, couldn't help turning his head and said to Lu Xuan: "Why don't you come back to the big man with me!"
