Chapter 4: To Live or to Perish

"The ideal is full, and the reality is the backbone. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info", Xiao Ming still remembers when he was in school, which was the most said sentence by his tutor.

Now he is faced with the reality of the latter.

Based on the current situation, his fiefdom is impoverished, and it is basically not much different from the primitive society.

Even if he has a technological hedron, it will be difficult to change this place.

And Xiao Ming's memory clearly tells him that the current Great Chongqing Kingdom seems to be peaceful, but there is an undercurrent surging underneath.

He is not a person who shouts and shouts to kill, but if he wants to keep his one-third of an acre of land from the situation in the Great Chongqing Kingdom, and his restless brothers and uncles have their heads cut off, he must build a fief.

This is a paradoxical issue, difficult but necessary to build.

"Bell... Clang... Bell ......"

Leaning on the stone bridge of the palace and thinking about the fiefdom, a rapid bell suddenly came from the direction of the city gate.

"Barbarians." Xiao Ming's heart tightened.

This bell is similar to the function of a beacon tower, which is a warning from the defenders of the city to the invasion of foreign enemies in the city, and now that the bell is so urgent, there must be barbarian cavalry.

In the Great Yu Kingdom, the tribes of the northern steppe were collectively called steppe barbarians, similar to the historical Xiongnu, Turkic, and Mongol, and the steppe barbarians all played the same role.

That is, every year when the autumn is high and the horses are fat, they come to the Central Plains to plunder, and this grassland is the same.

In Xiao Ming's memory, the grassland man never went deep into his fiefdom three years ago, but he didn't expect to come again this year.

Recalling the frantic destruction of the six states under his jurisdiction by the Prairie Barbarians three years ago, he still shuddered.

He had to be afraid, in such an era of cold weapons, the steppe cavalry came and went like the wind, the archers and horses were skillful, and they had a natural advantage in mobility.

The predicament he faces now is the same as that of millet plus rifle fighting a tank.

Moreover, his six states combined could not make up a hundred cavalry, so he could only passively defend the city.

A fear spread in Xiao Ming's heart, this is not a game, he will face real life and death, and there is no way out.

At his feet is his fiefdom, his home.

"Are you afraid of death if you die once?" Xiao Ming asked himself, he clenched his fists and shouted, "Qian Dafu!" Prepare the horses! ”

"Rich money!"

The voice fell, and it took a while for Qian Dafu to drag his round body, and he ran over in a panic, panting, "Your Highness, the horse is ready, I have brought all the silver taels that I can take away, this bell is coming from the north gate, and we still have time to escape from the south gate now." ”

Xiao Ming had a feeling of dizziness, feeling that he was about to run away just now.

"Bastard, as the king of Qi, how can I abandon the people and run away alone." Xiao Ming scolded, taking advantage of the situation to kick Qian Dafu's ass, kicking Qian Dafu to a stumbling block.

This is something that Xiao Ming used to do when he was angry, and he consciously used it.

Qian Dafu squeezed his little eyes, his face was stunned, isn't this King Qi's style?

In the past, not to mention that the barbarians had arrived in Qingzhou, but only that they might come over, the prince shouted that he wanted to flee back to Chang'an.

He escaped once three years ago, but he was personally whipped by Xiao Wenxuan with a whip in Chang'an, saying that if Xiao Ming escaped back next time, he would personally kill him.

Thinking of this, Qian Dafu suddenly thought that Xiao Ming was afraid of going back.

Since Concubine Zhen sent him to King Qi, Concubine Zhen's only task for him was to protect King Qi Zhouquan, and he said: "Your Highness, we can not go to Chang'an, but we can always hide in this fief of King Wei." ”

The King of Wei in Qian Dafu's mouth is Xiao Wenxuan's third brother and Xiao Ming's uncle, and this uncle's fief is to the south of his fief.

When the seal was divided, this uncle pulled him to be the first line of defense of the barbarians, and he spared no effort, and he had a black belly.

Xiao Ming is a fool and knows that this Third Emperor Uncle is unreliable, so it can be seen that Qian Dafu is also sick and rushed to the doctor.

"Don't go, don't go, I'm going to the castle tower."

Xiao Ming is determined, in this kind of backward place in production, people are production resources, and if he loses the hearts of the people, he will mention the construction of fiefdoms, and no matter how many things are made, they will be enemies in the future.

Qian Dafu's big round face was full of horror, and he immediately sat on the ground and hugged Xiao Ming's thigh and cried: "Your Highness, think twice, this sword has no eyes, in case Your Highness makes a mistake, how should the old slave explain to Niangniang." ”

"Qian Dafu, you are still the concubine's guard, so timid and afraid, how can you assist me to achieve a great cause, is this how you are the housekeeper of the palace? If the fief is gone, will you and I still have a place to stand? Xiao Ming scolded.

"Your Highness." Qian Dafu was stunned, since he followed King Qi, he had never heard anything great from King Qi's mouth, and these words were at most whose girl was handsome, how prosperous Chang'an was, how barren the fief was, and so on.

Now Xiao Ming's generous words today made him feel a little deafening.

Xiao Ming shook off Qian Dafu and walked straight to the gate of the palace, this pretending to be forced is cool, and the following is pretending to be thunder, Xiao Ming's little heart is pounding, not nervous, that's bullshit.

At the door, Pothos was waiting at the door with a package on her back, and there was a girl in a purple dress beside her, which was Aster.

Compared with the appearance of pothos like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River and a small jasper, this aster has jade skin and snow skin, weak willow and wind, goose egg face, red phoenix eyes, and a bit of pungency between the eyebrows.

A few days ago, Aster had just come back from going out to procure, and she had just arrived at the gate of the palace, and she never thought that the barbarians would come one after another.

"Your Highness." Seeing Xiao Ming, Green Pothos and Aster Yingying leaned over, and Steward Pang instructed them to flee to King Wei with King Qi.

Xiao Ming looked at the two handsome maids, and said in his heart that it was a pity, I don't know if Lao Tzu can come back after he goes.

Without waiting for the pothos and aster to react, Xiao Ming touched the buttocks of the two of them, got on the horse and went straight to the north gate.

In front of the public, the faces of the green pothos and the aster were flushed with shame, and when they came back to their senses, Xiao Ming had already gotten on the horse.

At this time, Qian Dafu ran over, saw the back of Xiao Ming riding a horse, skillfully turned over and was about to chase after him.

Luluo thought that Xiao Ming and Qian Dafu were going to escape by themselves, and her face turned pale with fright, but Zi Wan looked as usual, and asked, "Steward Qian, do you want to leave our sisters behind?" ”

"What left you behind, Your Highness doesn't know if you have hysteria, and now you have to go and defend the city with the soldiers who defend the city."

"What!" Aster covered her mouth in surprise, she was even more surprised than Qian Dafu.

Pothos breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes rolling slightly, "Did I say it right?"

Qian Dafu didn't care about what the two sisters thought at this time, so he rode his horse to chase after him.
