Chapter 2 Forced

According to the time I can remember, it is now May, which is just the right time to sow grain.

However, the people of Fancheng don't seem to have started sowing yet, and I don't know why, He Huan always feels that he seems to have missed something.

But when I think about it carefully, I can't remember what I missed.

Because he had just crossed over, his memories had not been completely fused, and he couldn't remember it for a while, so he simply studied his golden finger.

The treasure upgrade system comes from the treasure upgrade function of the construction ***.

The double speed was originally a treasure obtained when raiding the first layer, but because of He Harmonic's recharge, it was obtained in advance.

And the treasure that represented double the speed was also put on He Huan's left wrist in the form of a bracelet.

It is an all-red bracelet with a spiral-shaped green pattern connected from end to end.

One pattern means that it is now only level 1, and after it is promoted to level 2, it will have one more pattern.

"It's just...... How do you upgrade your treasures? He Hui couldn't help but think of this question.

In the game, the treasure is through the attack on the stone tower, kill the monsters inside, so as to allocate experience points, and distribute them to the treasure to upgrade.

But He Huan is not in the game now, he has indeed traveled to another world.

It descended on a young prince who was assigned to the frontier at the age of fourteen.

"Could it be that there are stone towers in this world that can be raided? But I don't remember it at all! Huh......"

Constantly rummaging through his memory, He Huan seemed to think of something.

It was an extremely vague memory, and I couldn't even remember it if I didn't think about it.

Just as he was desperately recalling, he was interrupted by a flustered footsteps.

Before he could walk out, a man with slightly red hair, a blue-gray robe, a vegetable-looking face, a thin body, and a severely malnourished, man who looked to be in his forties walked in.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Barbarian...... The barbarians are here again! The man didn't have time to catch his breath, and said hurriedly.

Looking at the person in front of him, and then flipping through his memory, He Huan knew that his name was Wang Xiu, and he was a Wenchen sent by the emperor's father to assist him when he was assigned to Yuezhou.

With him, there is also a military general, named Yue Feng, whose strength is also good.

In addition, he also brought a hundred soldiers to escort grain and grass here, which He Huan did his best to win.

It was only at this time that He Huan realized what he had been ignoring just now.

This is a continent, full of barbarians, although there is a prosperous city, but it is surrounded by barbarians.

It was not that the Great Xia Empire did not have generals and soldiers guarding the frontier, but that He Huan's location was too close to the Putuo River for the barbarians to cross the river.

Even the entire Yuezhou was divided by the Putuo River, and the barbarians had not been educated, they did not know how to build ships at all, and it was impossible to cross the river in large numbers.

A small raft of a few people might be able to be made, but when that number of barbarians came to the Great Xia territory, it wasn't just one person who drowned with a mouthful of spit.

Yangcheng, which is closest to Fancheng, has several generals and many soldiers guarding it, but it is on the other side of the river, and the distance is too far.

In addition, Fancheng was a small city slowly built by those exiles at the beginning, and in the hearts of the Great Xia people, they no longer belonged to their own race, so how could they protect them.

It stands to reason that He Huan is the king of Hongwei, and the entire Yuezhou is his fief.

But since he was enshrined in Yuezhou in the south, why didn't he be named the king of Zhennan, or the king of Yue?

Moreover, the emperor Lao'er designated that he could only enter Fancheng, and he didn't mention the matter of Yangcheng, so you can imagine what happened.

Thinking of this, He Huan didn't feel much for the emperor's father who had no feelings.

I don't even have the slightest feeling for the whole Great Xia.

"Do you want me to fend for myself?" He Huan's expression became a little cold.

He said to Wang Xiu: "Go to the city tower!" ”

Although Fancheng is small, it is already destined to be the only place where he made his fortune, and if he wants to develop and have a future, he can only guard Fancheng.

"Huh?!" Wang Xiu was stunned for a moment, "What's the matter?" Your Highness is actually going to the castle tower? Didn't you still shout to run away the first two times? ”

"Why are you still stunned? Hurry up and get ready for the horses! He said humly.

"Your Highness, please think twice, although the barbarians say that they are here to borrow food, in fact, they are robbing openly, and they will do it if they don't agree with each other, and then the sword and arrow will have no eyes, in case Your Highness has a mistake, how should the old minister explain to the emperor."

"Confess?" He Huan's eyes were cold, and he looked at Wang Xiu until he saw that he was covered in hair, and then said: "I know that you are sent by your father to monitor me, but do you know what it means to come to this prosperous city?" ”

"This ......" Wang Xiu wanted to speak and stopped, the most important thing was that he didn't dare to say it.

"Why do you only allow me to enter the prosperous city built by the exiled people? Why don't you let me join Yangcheng, which has a lot of soldiers and enough food? Why did you know that Fancheng was surrounded by barbarians and was in danger everywhere, but only let me bring a hundred soldiers here? This place and Daxia are divided by the Putuo River, do you know what it means to enter the prosperous city? ”

He Huo asked questions repeatedly, and Wang Xiu could only lower his head when he was forced to ask, sweating on his forehead, but he didn't dare to answer.

How could he not know how the city came to be, and how could he not know that this was a place of exile.

But he still recognized in his heart that he was a citizen of Great Xia and a courtier of Great Xia.

Since he is still a courtier, he must obey the will of His Majesty the Emperor.

The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die.

It's just that he came to Fancheng, not to let him die, but to let him monitor the six princes, as long as the ten-year period arrives, he can return to the court as an official and continue his previous life.

It's just that...... It was ten years, and a place like Fancheng had only been here for more than two months, and the barbarians came to the door three times.

Can such a place really stay for ten years and then return to the capital unharmed?

Maybe from the beginning, he was just like the six princes, he was simply an outcast.

It's just that because of the identity of the prince and the face of the royal family, no matter how much you don't like it, you have to do some superficial work, even if it's just casually.

And Wang Xiu has become a pawn doing superficial work.

Wang Xiu didn't answer, and He Hui continued: "Let me ask you, from today onwards, are you willing to recognize me as the Lord and assist me wholeheartedly?" ”

"This ......" Wang Xiu raised his head suddenly, what His Royal Highness's words meant, although he didn't say it, he also vaguely guessed it.

When he looked at He Huan's cold eyes, he only felt a stab in his heart.

Is this really the look that a man of fourteen years old can have?

"If you don't want to, I won't force you, this place is dangerous, I will lead Yue Feng and those hundred soldiers to guard, you can cross the river and leave alone." He Hui continued.

"Leave ...... alone" Wang Xiu was directly dumbfounded.

How can a person, without the protection of soldiers, walk.

The main thing is that when they crossed the river, after they disembarked, the boat had already left.

So, how is he going to cross the river?

Can't you swim through it yourself?

Either way, it's impossible.

Until this time, Wang Xiu completely understood that He Hui was asking him to make a statement, and it was a complete statement.

His answer would cost him his life.

If he is obedient, then his life will be completely tied to the fourteen-year-old prince in front of him from now on.

If he does not comply, he will be expelled from the city immediately, and the end will be a dead end.

Wang Xiu weighed the pros and cons, thinking of the question He Huan asked just now, he no longer had the luxury of hoping for the promise given by the emperor when he left.

Because that's not practical at all, it's impossible to achieve, and he's not stupid.

Wang Xiu immediately knelt on the ground and saluted respectfully: "Old minister Wang Xiu, I am willing to serve His Royal Highness as the Lord, spare no effort, and smear my liver and brain!" ”

"Good! From this day forward, don't call me Your Highness, just call me my lord!" He Huan waved his hand, and he was full of spirits.

"Yes, my lord!"

At this point, He Huan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He had no intention of letting Wang Xiu leave from the beginning, because he knew that the other party was not a fool and would definitely make the right choice.

He Huan's approach is actually to force the palace.

There is a risk in forcing the palace, but He Huan is also sure.

Wang Xiu is the only civil servant around He Hui at present, with extraordinary knowledge and proficient in government affairs.

Since you want to develop a prosperous city, it is not enough to rely on He Harmony alone, such talents are indispensable.

Although He Huan comes from modern times and has a wealth of knowledge that people in this world do not have, to put it bluntly, it is all on paper.

It may be possible to come up with a general framework with knowledge, but it is still impossible to implement it without details.

Since there is such a person around, and he is the only one, then you need to grasp it well.

Compel him to confess himself as Lord and make him swear.

Through memory, He Hui still knows very well that Wang Xiu is a person.

He took the oath of great propriety and never did anything contrary to this idea.

If he disobeyed, it would be no different from killing him.

It is also because of this that Wang Xiu could not do anything to hurt He Huan under He Huan's questioning.

Anyway, he is still nominally a courtier of Great Xia, and He Huan is the prince.

Since Wang Xiu had already said something like that, then he would keep his promise.

This is also one of the reasons why He Huan dared to force him to express his position in person.
