Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

In the middle of the drink, the big guys also let go of their courage, and some people began to toast in front of Li Xu. Along the way, they admired King Shun very much. They all said in private that it would be great if the Han family didn't rebel. After that, they will be the courtiers of King Shun, and they must have a good life.

Li Xu's capacity for drinking has been practiced, he will never get drunk after a thousand cups, he intentionally indulges himself, so he does not refuse anyone who comes, and at the end of the drink, he gets a little drunk.

The time when people are most relaxed is when they are half-drunk. Li Xu let go of his arrogance completely, pointed at He Zun, and yelled: "Don't surround me, go, who can get Mu guard drunk tonight? I will give him a big red envelope."

Everyone booed and applauded, turned around and besieged He Zun.He Zun has always been self-disciplined, no matter how intense the atmosphere was, he would never drink a drop of alcohol. Now he was besieged by people, but he still refused straightly, "I don't drink."

If all the drunks in this room are down, at least there must be someone who is sober to protect His Highness. He Zun has his own professional ethics.

Everyone saw that he insisted on not drinking and was not going to force it. Unexpectedly, Ye Changqing staggered up at this time, hugged He Zun and whispered a word in his ear, and then laughed and said: "Come on, you don't need to drink for others, But you must drink my glass of wine."

He Zun glared at him, then reluctantly took the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp. Everyone applauded and surrounded him even more.

Li Xu propped his head and looked at this scene with a smile. He was in a very comfortable mood. He always felt that He Zun had been too depressed for the past six months. It would be nice if he had a chance to let him go.

While he was still awake, Li Xu took out a few big red envelopes wrapped in red paper, and called Liu Shu and the others, "Come on, come on, after the New Year's Eve dinner, it's time to receive the red envelopes, please pay respects to the king." In the early years, whoever said the most auspicious words won my heart, and whoever had the most generous red envelopes."

Liu Shu hurriedly protected Li Xu to prevent others from approaching, and said loudly: "I come first, I come first. This servant wishes the prince all the best in the new year, eat the most delicious food in the world, live in the most luxurious house, and wear the most luxurious clothes." Exquisite clothes, the most money, and the most beautiful woman in the world."

Li Xu laughed loudly, and hugged Liu Shu, "This is really my king's most caring little baby, come here, your red envelope must be the thickest."

In terms of flattering skills, Liu Shu is absolutely unmatched. After he finished speaking, others knew that they couldn't compete. Fortunately, they would not compete with Liu Shu. Liu Shu is a celebrity in front of His Highness, except for one person of course. .

The little princess pouted and squeezed into Li Xu's embrace, "Father, father, what about me?"

Li Xu let go of Liu Shu, hugged the little princess on his lap, and asked her, "How would you like to send your father a New Year greeting?"

The little princess blushed slightly, and suddenly hugged Li Xu's head and kissed him on the cheek, and then said: "Shu'er, I wish my father a younger life, a healthy body, and a long life."

Li Xu was full of joy, and couldn't help kissing her forehead. He stood up holding the little princess, and said loudly: "Today, everyone present will be a witness to the king. Princess Shu Ning will inherit everything, and anyone who dares to violate it will be punished by heaven."

As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent, and everyone was confused and couldn't turn around. Lin Zhao was still clear-headed, and boldly asked, "What about the future little prince?"

Li Xu said indifferently: "If there is really a young prince, let him earn his own fortune, and everything that belongs to me will be inherited by the little princess." In other words, except for the eldest princess, the future children of King Shun There will be no family property, which is a shocking decision.

Liu Shu thought he was talking drunk, tugged at his sleeve, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, why don't you announce it on an important occasion?" He was afraid that Li Xu would regret it when he woke up. He is extremely supportive of the decision His Highness made when he was sober.

"It's okay. Empty words have no proof. Tomorrow, the king will write a document and it will be a will."

The little princess cried "Wow", and couldn't help crying while hugging Li Xu. No matter how stupid she was, she could still feel how much her father valued her. .”

"Fine, father will be fine. I will watch Shu'er grow up, and this king will also see Shu'er get married and have children." Li Xu can especially understand the feelings of those fathers who love their daughters like their own. There is a daughter, She is really willing to give her the best things in the world.

Ji Hanyu was also sitting at the same table. Now that he was drinking heavily, he felt limp all over, and his food was no longer delicious. He was stunned when he received the red envelope from Li Xu, and said awkwardly: "Lovely, my lord, Xiaosheng I have been sick and sick all the way, and I have not been able to perform my duties as a master, and I am ashamed of it."

Li Xu waved his hand, "It's not what you want to be sick, and it's hard for you to travel all the way. When you arrive in Minzhou, I will find a doctor to make up for you. Don't let the root of the disease fall at a young age. I will wait for you." Mr. Zhu Ji shines brightly and seeks the well-being of the common people."

Ji Hanyu sniffed, and said with red eyes: "If you can be valued by the prince, Xiaosheng will definitely do his best to serve the court."

Li Xu thought in his heart that he would be exempt if he served the imperial court, but he would be fine if he served me.

After distributing the red envelopes, Li Xu was about to let everyone go back to rest, when he suddenly heard a rush of gongs and drums, he thought it was a New Year's program in the town, and asked, "Is there a program in the middle of the night to add to the fun?"

The Yulin soldiers laughed cheerfully: "It's a rare New Year's Eve, and the people in the town are probably going to watch the new year."

Lei Yang also drank a lot of wine, he was so drunk when he heard the sound of gongs and drums, he suddenly became sober, and fell to the ground in a loss of composure, "No, there are pirates who have come ashore and entered the town."

Li Xu paused with a smile, frowned and asked, "Are you sure?"

With the help of several guards, Lei Yang stood up, stumbled and ran out, "Go and see, these goddamn pirates like to make troubles when other people are celebrating, and villages and towns suffer disaster every year. "

Lin Zhao kicked Ye Changqing, and shouted loudly: "Everyone go to the bucket of water to wake up, get your weapons, and prepare to meet the enemy."

Li Xu rubbed his sore forehead, and thought to himself: What kind of shit luck am I, I can't even drink alcohol.

The Yulin soldiers were completely awake in the icy well water, and He Zun also walked up to Li Xu's side, wet all over, "Your Highness, I will help you go back to your room to rest." Although there was a raging battle outside, he would definitely be able to protect the prince comprehensively.

"No need, how can I sleep at this time." Li Xu strode to the door, saw Lei Yang and his guards had already run back, and hurriedly asked: "How?"

"It's true that the pirates came ashore. Someone didn't see their number clearly. Many families in the town have suffered."

In fact, Lei Yang didn't need to say anything, Li Xu and the others had already seen the flames rising into the sky and the continuous screams in the distance.

Lin Zhao asked for instructions: "My lord, let me escort you away."

Li Xu swept his sharp eyes over, and asked coldly, "Commander Lin, you are a soldier of Dayan, do you have the ambition to protect your family and the country?"

Lin Zhao lowered his head in embarrassment, bit his lips and said, "My lord's safety is paramount, not to mention that the enemy's situation is unknown, so I dare not let my lord risk it."

Li Xu knew what he was thinking. To be honest, if it was a regular army attacking, then he would definitely agree to escape, but if the pirates go ashore to rob, as long as the number is equal, they will always have the strength to fight. "Commander Lin forgot that Nanyue is my king's fiefdom, and the people of Nanyue are also my king's people, how can I abandon them?" He turned his head and told Lei Yang: "Brother Lei, take your people and leave quickly. Send reinforcements to the nearest place, whether the king can be rescued depends on you."

Lei Yang's lips twitched, he wanted to refuse, he wanted to say that he was willing to live and die with him, but he had no position, and he was indeed more familiar with the terrain of South Vietnam than others, and it was easier to borrow soldiers based on his identity.

He saluted Li Xu, and said in a muffled voice: "My lord, take care, I will live up to my trust." After speaking, he quickly left the small town with the support of his guards.

There is no need for Li Xu to arrange the next thing. Lin Zhao ordered the Qi Yulin army and quickly made arrangements, leaving a team to protect Li Xu, and the rest divided into two teams and ran towards the two ends of the town, preparing to pinch back and forth, and capture the sea. Thieves outflank.

Li Xu spared his life, but at this critical moment, he simply couldn't just sit and wait. Rather than guarding him here, the people around him might as well fight the enemy together, with more hands and more chances of winning.

Li Xu asked Liu Shu to fetch a pair of bows and arrows, took off the cloak that was in the way, ignored everyone's dissuasion, and strode out.

"My lord!"

"Your Highness, no!"

Li Xu looked back at them and asked, "Are you going to be cowards here or follow the king to meet the enemy?"

They are all fresh-blooded young people, how can they be willing to be cowards, "I will swear to the death to defend the prince and the people."

"Okay, let's go together. It doesn't matter where the monsters come from, they must come back and forth." Li Xu only hated that he didn't have enough time, otherwise he would develop the gunpowder bomb and see who would dare to invade.

"Father!" The little princess was hugged by Mrs. Qian, and looked at Li Xu with tears in her eyes.

Li Xu told Mrs. Qian: "Do you remember that there is a gazebo one mile away from the town, and there is an earthen pit under the gazebo. Take the little princess to hide there. Liu Shu, Ji Hanyu, and Yan Chen will go together."

Liu Shu didn't want to leave, but he knew that following him would only be a burden, and he wanted to protect the little princess, so a woman alone would not be enough.

Holding a kitchen knife in his hand, he guarded one big and one small to leave the house. When they were far away, Li Xu was about to take people out when he saw a member of the Habayashi army anxiously reporting: "Your Highness, a group of bandits came to kill you." Already, about a hundred people."

"It's too late to go out. The house is huge, so they must search for it. Spread out to the walls and hide, and prepare your bows and arrows."

The house is surrounded by mud walls, almost two meters high, so it is easy to hide someone, but how can we kill the enemy to the maximum extent before the opponent counterattacks?What Li Xu thinks of right now is landmines. If he has landmines in his hand, he just needs to bury a few on the road in front of the door, and they will fly into the sky if they explode.

However, landmines are firearms after all, not to say that they are available. He only regrets that he didn't equip the Habayashi Army with continuous crossbows. The continuous crossbows are fast, light and accurate, much easier to use than bows and arrows.

But it's too late to think about it now. Li Xu climbed up the big tree in the yard, hid among the dense leaves, and aimed his bow and arrows at the road in front of the door. His archery skills will be tested by this actual combat. up.

He Zun dutifully guarded by his side, also drawing his bow to be on guard, but after a while, Li Xu and the others heard the sound of chaotic footsteps, the first target was not the pirates, but the fleeing residents of the town, they panicked He ran forward, looking back from time to time, and screamed in fright when he saw the pirates chasing after them with weapons raised.

Li Xu saw a strong man chasing a young girl. He turned around and aimed the arrow at him. To be honest, he was very nervous and his palms were sweating. He usually used tree trunks as targets when practicing archery. This was his first time. Pointing a weapon at a living person for the first time.

Time was running out, so he couldn't let him think too much, he let go, and only heard a "buzz", the sharp arrow left the string, and shot straight towards the strong man's chest. When you are sure to hit the opponent's vital point, you should choose the upper body to aim, because the upper body has the largest area and the highest probability of hitting. Once you shoot, the opponent will definitely stop due to pain.

Li Xu didn't have time to test his archery skills, so he replaced one arrow with a new one immediately. After the second round of strafing, the pirates had already stopped, looking for places to take cover, leaving more than a dozen corpses on the ground.

Seeing this, the Habayashi Army also stopped shooting arrows. They didn't have many arrows left, and they couldn't waste any of them.

The scene fell silent for a while, Li Xu winked at He Zun, moved his lips, and said something silently.

After the people at the front ran away, He Zun got lucky and yelled loudly: "Brave bandits, how dare you go ashore to burn, kill and loot. I advise you to surrender quickly, or you will be killed."

"It's his father, we are in ambush." ​​There was a roar from outside, and then, a cannon flew into the air, and it was the other party who sent the signal.

Li Xu secretly thought that it was not good, the other party could send a signal that there were other people in the town, and he only hoped that those people would be stopped by Lin Zhao, otherwise they would be entangled.

He miscalculated, this group of pirates is not afraid of officers and soldiers, I don't know whether it is because the brave are fearless or they know their details.

"My lord, I will protect you and withdraw first. With the Habayashi army behind, I will be able to send you out safely."

Li Xu frowned, and didn't want to accept this proposal. He Zunzheng was going to take him away forcibly, but he saw a group of people and horses coming from both ends of the road, and the sound of horses' hooves on the ground made a slight vibration.

"No, their backup is here." He Zun lowered his body and squatted motionless on the tree. At this time, it would be difficult to break through.

"Haha, go to me, avenge my brother who died." The other party gave an order, and the pirates who had hidden their whereabouts stood up one after another, and rushed towards the house with a big knife in their hands.

The Habayashi soldiers drew their bows and shot arrows one after another, and solved some of the pirates, but the arrows were limited, and the number of the opponents was several times more than them. Knocked away.

The Habayashi soldiers no longer needed to hide their tracks, they threw away their curved bows and drew out their swords and guns to meet them.

Their armor had been discarded long ago, and they were wearing newly made padded jackets. They didn't look like regular soldiers at all, but they had weapons in their hands, and the large number of them wouldn't make people think that they were government servants in the town.

He Zun frowned, staring at the other party's every move, with some doubts in his heart, these people seemed to know where they were hiding, and also knew what resistance they would encounter, and they were not surprised by the appearance of the Habayashi Army.

This is not like going ashore to randomly choose a target, but more like coming for them.

Li Xu also felt this way. These people had a very clear goal. After several rounds of shooting and killing so many people, they besieged the house regardless. Is it because they have sufficient manpower and are fearless or have they been prepared?

The Habayashi soldiers have experienced a lot of hardships along the way, and they have developed a bit of courage, and they are not at a disadvantage in the face of the murderous pirates, but there is a huge gap between the two sides, and they will definitely be overwhelmed after a long time.

The signal just now was so conspicuous, but Lin Zhao's two teams didn't come back. Li Xu guessed that they were tied up, and they might not be able to come back for a while.

what can we do about it?Could it just be hiding in a tree and waiting to die?

In terms of close combat, ten Li Xus are no match for the pirates, and He Zun's two fists are no match for four hands, so he definitely can't protect him.

The Yulin army gradually suffered casualties, Li Xu gritted his teeth, slipped down from the tree, and shouted: "Stop!" Although the sound was loud, it couldn't stop the people who were fighting.

He Zun hurriedly jumped down to stand in front of him, and shouted vigorously: "Stop!"

The movements of the two sides came to an abrupt end, and the Yulin soldiers were so frightened when they saw Li Xu's appearance that they threw away their opponents and quickly surrounded them, protecting him behind them.
