Chapter 135: Alleviating Famine
The high priest was rarely disobeyed, but now he was being scolded by a little female from a foreign race, which made him feel completely embarrassed.
Behind him, the group of orc believers were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths.
The high priest's face suddenly darkened:
"What an arrogant little female! Do you know where this place is? You won't be allowed to run wild!"
After saying that, he asked someone to come up and catch He Fuxi.
Lord Wang was anxious:
"High Priest, please don't be angry! I have already acknowledged the female Lord of Central Continent as my sister. High Priest, please show mercy for my sake!"
"Sister?" The high priest sneered: "Your Highness is of noble status, how can you recognize my sister? Even if you want to recognize her, you need God's consent. I, the high priest, didn't know about it. For this evil woman with ulterior motives, Your Highness has committed the crime of deceiving God!"
With just a few words, Lord Wang and He Fuxi were charged with extremely serious crimes.
Lord Wang was extremely anxious:
"High Priest, listen to me... This has nothing to do with my sister. It's me..."
But what's the point of him saying this?
In Nanming, the high priest has absolute authority.
The priest guards continued to move closer and closer to them step by step.
"Sister." Lord Wang gritted his teeth and said, "How about I turn into a big roc and take you away!"
He Fuxi remained calm:
"No, if you do that, you will be committing the crime of deceiving God, and there will be no way to defend yourself. Anyway, they won't do anything to you, so just let them be."
"But you..." Lord Wang's eyes turned red with anxiety, and he even regretted bringing her to Nanming.
He Fuxi was quite open-minded:
"Don't worry about me, everything will work out when the time comes."
If it wasn't straight, she would spend all her money to buy a bomb in the mall and let the high priest know what divine punishment was!
However, her points property was finally saved.
When the guards stretched out their claws towards them, a faint blue light suddenly appeared on the horizon, a vague and ethereal chanting floated over the sea, and shadowy figures carrying a sedan chair were slowly moving towards them on the sea.
Before it even came to him, a powerful pressure came over him, making it impossible for him to raise his head or breathe.
"High Priest." A majestic and clear voice like gold and jade revealed displeasure: "You are really concerned about my brother?"
The king?
He Fuxi felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
This is the Lord of Nanming, King Ming!
Relying on her status as an unknown person, she lifted her eyelids and took a peek.
Well, the ceremony was very grand and the sedan chair was very gorgeous.
The gorgeous red gauze made of mermaid, which the high priest wore so carefully and preciously, was now flying on the sedan chair, acting as a veil.
He Fuxi felt emo for the high priest.
The high priest's expression naturally became even worse.
"Your Majesty, Prince Ming." He spoke respectfully, but there was no fear on his face, and he did not salute.
Instead, he defended himself with a thorny tone:
"I have been the envoy of the South Sea God for thousands of years. I have been commanded by God to bless every member of my tribe. Your Highness is the Son of God and has suffered for many years in Central Continent. I should personally come to welcome you. Does Your Majesty think that Your Highness does not even deserve this little courtesy?"
This is a good way to divert the conflict.
He Fuxi really wanted to write it down in a notebook.
The big tribes are full of gossips and scheming. Compared to them, the orcs in Middle-earth are just a pure white rabbit!
Prince Ming was sitting in a sedan chair covered with heavy gauze curtains, and no one knew what his expression was at that moment.
But from his cold tone, it can be seen that he is in a bad mood:
"Honorable treatment? According to the rules of our clan, you cannot return to the South Sea without being summoned. What is the meaning of you returning without telling me this time?"
Lord Wang's eyes immediately turned red, and he pursed his lips, trying hard not to cry.
Fortunately, King Ming quickly shifted the target of his bombardment.
His tone became increasingly grim:
"The high priest has been in office for a thousand years and should be the most familiar with the clan rules. Why did you treat the second son with courtesy when he violated the clan rules? Today, I will listen to your reasoning."
These words left the high priest speechless.
He is really good at quarreling. He Fuxi gave him a thumbs up in his heart.
Perhaps her expression was too vivid, the orc on the sedan seemed to glance at her.
Of course, it could also be that the curtain was blinding and she was seeing things wrong.
The high priest was not discouraged and said:
"When your Majesty's father and grandfather were in power, they treated their brothers with kindness. Even when they were sent out to the South Sea, they did not accuse the brothers of overstepping the boundaries the first time they met. Your Majesty is too ruthless to act like this. It's as if you treat your brothers as enemies. Such a demeanor undermines the demeanor of a king!"
These words really touched Lord Wang's heart.
He never imagined that his elder brother, whom he had missed for many years, would say these things to him when they met for the first time.
Now he began to believe that his elder brother might really be afraid that he would come back and seize the throne.
Perhaps, the eldest brother even wished that he would die far away in Central China.
He sniffed and felt extremely sad.
"High Priest, please stop arguing. It was me who was disobeying the rules."
With red eyes, he lowered his head and walked forward to salute King Ming.
"I am willing to accept the punishment. Please punish me, King Ming."
Now he doesn't even call him brother or big brother as such affectionately.
The orc in the sedan paused briefly.
Then he said coldly:
"You have violated the clan rules and are a disgrace to the clan. You cannot be forgiven lightly. You will receive three hundred lashes and be immediately sent back to Central Continent. You are not allowed to stay!"
Three hundred lashes.
When Lord Wang heard this, his face turned pale.
This is indeed a very severe punishment.
The whip used by the sea people is supported by the bones of electric eels.
When it hits the body, it not only causes whipping pain, but also tingling pain, and even the excruciating pain of extremely strong electric current attacking every part of the body.
This was the punishment for serious criminals. Many prisoners could not bear it and committed suicide by biting their tongues after being whipped a few times.
If he is whipped three hundred times, Lord Wang will be crippled if not killed!
Now, He Fuxi could no longer hold the melon in his hand.
She came to find a backer for Zhongzhou, not to send Lord Wang to death.
She walked forward quickly, raised her head to face the sedan chair, and said calmly:
"Your Majesty, King Ming, please forgive me. Your Highness did not come back intentionally to violate the clan rules. Instead, I learned that there would be a famine in the clan, so I hurried to offer a solution."
What?
Not only Lord Wang, but other orcs, including the high priest, were also stunned.
What is she talking about? The solution to hunger?
How can it be!
The mighty Sea People were at a loss as to what to do, so how come the Second Prince came up with a solution after spending several years in a remote small tribe?
Lord Wang was extremely anxious:
"My sister, please stop talking nonsense. What is my way to resolve the famine? You don't know my brother. If he finds out that I violated the rules and lied, he will probably not only beat me to death, but also feed my body to the dogs..."
The gaze from the sedan chair swept over vaguely.
Lord Wang fell silent immediately.
He Fuxi patted his back to reassure him.
I am still testing the edge of danger:
"Your Majesty, instead of beating the Second Prince to death, why not listen to his method? What if it works? Even if it doesn't work, Your Majesty is the King of Nanming, and it would be easy for you to capture the Second Prince and execute him."
"Besides." He Fuxi's voice suddenly lowered, and he lowered his head and frowned.
"Your Majesty, don't you want to see whether God's blessing is useful or human wisdom is useful?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew by.
The curtain flew high, the bright moon broke through the dark clouds, and silver light spread all over the sea.
A divine face that looked like that of a god appeared in front of the beasts.
