Chapter 864: Da Qin’s First Dog

After listening to the words of the Qin cavalry below the city, the little prince on the city wall looked at his father in disbelief and said,

"Father, why is this? Aren't those Qin people good people?"

He originally thought that the other party was a good person and wanted to join him, but he did not expect that these people would demand their surrender in the blink of an eye.

The city lord was not too surprised when he saw this scene. He just showed a trace of sadness on his face and said softly,

"Children, they are good people but not our good people."

"Let someone open the city gate. As long as we don't resist, these Qin people will not kill innocent people indiscriminately."

"All they want is wealth and slaves."

Hearing these words, a trace of despair flashed in the little prince's eyes and he said,

"Then is there anyone more powerful than the Xiongnu and the Qin army?"

The city lord slowly shook his head,

"There used to be a dynasty called Peacock further west, but it is now weak, but whether it exists or not has nothing to do with us."

"Son, you must remember that the strength of others has nothing to do with us. These people will only help their own people."

After listening to these words, the little prince's eyes turned slightly red, and he felt a breath in his heart, and he couldn't help but ask,

"Father, how can we be strong?"

He wants to be strong and doesn't want his family to be slaughtered like lambs.

At this time, the city lord just showed an extremely bitter smile, shook his head and replied,

"Son, we are too young and too weak."

There are only tens of thousands of people in their city-state, which is considered large. In the past, it is not that no one thought about uniting and strengthening, but they all failed.

It is almost impossible to compare with these forces.

The little prince was silent for a moment.

Soon the city gate was slowly opened, and the Qin cavalry slowly walked in. Tens of thousands of people were waiting for the Qin cavalry, which numbered less than a hundred people in front of them, to pronounce their fate.

The city lord also walked up to the cavalry and knelt down on one knee to express his submission.

Soon the leading cavalryman said,

"Are you the city lord? Then listen up, you will be affiliated with Daqin Border Town from now on!"

"Everything must follow the arrangements!"

"Prepare food, shelter, fodder and baggage. A large army will be coming soon. If anything goes wrong then, be careful of your heads."

Of course the people in the city-state could not understand the Daqin dialect, but there were translators nearby.

The city lord quickly replied,

"yes."

The little prince felt extremely complicated when he saw his father, who was usually the supreme figure in the city-state, kneeling in front of him.

It seemed like something was broken bit by bit.

Soon the leading Qing army finished their orders, turned their horses and were about to leave. They had to go to another place.

Suddenly the little prince's voice sounded,

"Are you the king of that Great Qin City?"

Qin Jun looked for a voice and saw a young man looking at them stubbornly. After hearing what the translator said, Qin Jun was stunned for a moment and then laughed.

The other soldiers also laughed, and some even almost fell off their horses.

"This kid...actually...hahaha, actually thinks that our leader is the king? What kind of city is Daqin City?"

"Hahaha, sir, when did you gain the title of king due to your military exploits, why didn't you invite your brothers to have fun?"

"Don't tell me, isn't our leader here bigger than their king?"

The leader of the Qin army finally stopped smiling at this time.

"Okay, stop laughing, maybe I can be crowned a king in the future, hahaha..."

If the other person is an adult and dares to question him like this, he will not mind being stabbed to death with a sword. But since he is a child, then give the other person a chance. That person also doesn’t like people killing children, so he goes back,

"Listen carefully, I am Centurion Meng of Great Qin... Well, Centurion Zhi, if you want revenge in the future, don't find the wrong person."

"Walk!"

After saying that, he took his troops and headed directly towards another city-state.

Watching the other party's leaving figure, the little prince froze on the spot as he listened to what the tribesman translated back.

"A centurion? He only commands a hundred men."

"Father, why can a hundred people make us surrender?"

The little prince asked his father with great confusion.

There are so many of them, can't they even defeat a hundred people?

The city lord replied with emotion at this time,

"Because behind these one hundred people is an extremely powerful empire."

"We only have ourselves."

"So son, you have to remember that for your family and your tribe, you need to abandon your dignity and choose to surrender when necessary."

There are tens of thousands of people in their city-state, and they can kill one hundred Qin soldiers even if they risk their lives.

But then what?

As long as the other party sends an army of a thousand people, they can be massacred in a planned way.

The strength of the two sides is not at the same level at all.

Small countries have their own way of survival.

When necessary, we must abandon unnecessary dignity, compromise, and rely on the strong.

This is what he wants to teach his son.

It's just that his son has been smart and sharp since he was a child, but he was wronged by being born here.

At this time, the little prince looked at the city-state with smoke billowing in the distance, shook his head firmly and said,

"Father, how can we leave our fate to our enemies?"

"You said we have nothing to rely on. You are wrong."

Looking at his astonished father, the little prince said firmly at this time,

"Great Qin also said just now that we have become their city, so we are also people of Great Qin."

The city lord came back to his senses and said quickly,

"Son, things are not as simple as you think. These Qin people are extremely strict in choosing their own clansmen. They..."

Before his father could finish what he said, the little prince returned at this time,

"Father, I know what you mean."

"But now that they're here, it means they need us."

“We do the best we can and there will always be opportunities.”

"Just like the hunters in our city-state, in addition to their families, they will always need a group of loyal hounds."

"And hounds are sometimes trusted more than family members."

Hearing these words, the city lord froze on the spot. He now believed that his son's wisdom had surpassed his own.

So he said with a complicated look,

"I can no longer cope with this situation. From now on, this city-state will be handed over to you."

"No matter what choice you make, I will support you."

The little prince nodded without any hesitation and returned,

"Father, don't worry. Even if I am a dog, I have chosen a good master."

Then the little prince stood on a high place and gave orders,

"Prepare the best food in the city and free up our palace..."

As the order was issued, the subjects began to move.

The little prince looked at the situation in the city with a very determined expression and said quickly,

"Call everyone in the city who can speak Da Qin dialect. From today on, my family will all learn to speak Da Qin dialect!"

"Send people to bring gifts to the Qin army. We are looking forward to their arrival!"

In a short time, they will rush towards the direction of the Qin army.
