941 Unfamiliar
Jiang Ming deliberately made the situation sound a little more serious.
The poor people immediately became nervous. They retreated one by one and knelt on the ground.
“Please forgive us, Your Majesty. It’s all our fault for saying such things. We will never say such things again.”
“This person will be a warning. If anyone dares to say such words in the future, their fate will be the same.”
“Yes, Your Majesty. We already know.”
“Now, who can tell me who this person is?”
Jiang Ming felt that this person’s face was a little unfamiliar, and he suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart.
After Jiang Ming said this, the rest of the poor people became a little uneasy and could not help but fall silent.
“We don’t know this person, and we don’t know where he came from.”
“You don’t even know who he is, yet you still listened to his orders. This is not the way a smart person should do things.”
Jiang Ming was almost impressed at how stupid these people were.
“Now, everyone, go and rebuild your homes. The plan now is to rebuild your houses.”
Jiang Ming gathered the people around him and asked his servants to help the people.
These people remembered that their homes had not been fixed yet, so they quickly followed the servants to rebuild their houses.
Zhu Asi did not know whether to laugh or cry.
“What a farce. Fortunately, nothing crazy happened.”
“Do you want to take a look at the secret chamber here first?”
Yuan Hehe suddenly said something.
“How did you know there was a secret chamber here?” Jiang Ming turned to look at him and asked curiously. “And didn’t the secret chamber collapse?”
Yuan Hehe said mysteriously, “No, there’s one more. Follow me. Sikong Wuyuan has already gone over. There should be a lot of things inside.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming and Zhu Asi hurried over, and Feng Yunche followed.
Yuan Hehe led them to a long corridor, which was completely dark.
“Wasn’t this place brightly lit just now?” he asked curiously. “Why is it all black now?”
“That’s not a problem.” Jiang Ming snapped his fingers.
As he spoke, the long corridor was lit up according to his actions.
When they saw what was in the corridor, they could not help but take a step back.
The corridor was filled with stone statues that looked exactly like them.
However, they clearly did not come to the Xiaguo Kingdom earlier. Jiang Ming found that even the people around him who did not come here had stone statues of themselves.
He suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of fear.
None of them had come here, which was enough to show that someone could predict what would happen here.
“Ah!”
A shout suddenly came from afar.
Jiang Ming hurriedly ran forward. He felt that these sounds should hold some clues.
Sikong Wuyuan had shouted.
At this moment, there was something hurting him. His eyes were closed tightly, and he could not stand the pain.
Yuan Hehe took a step forward and wanted to help, but he realized that it was a little hedgehog.
The little hedgehog kept biting Sikong Wuyuan’s foot.
“Bear with it for a while, I’ll help you.”
Yuan Hehe signaled Sikong Wuyuan to endure the pain and continued to pull the hedgehog away.
The other party tried to pull back, but the hedgehog seemed to be fixed in place. It bit down hard, not giving the two of them a chance to pull it out at all.
Seeing this, Jiang Ming simply cut the hedgehog off. The hedgehog died instantly and let go of Sikong Wuyuan’s foot. Sikong Wuyuan stepped back.
He could not help but be shocked.
“I tried to use spiritual energy to attack this hedgehog just now, but it was useless. How did you attack it?”
“Ning Caichen has his ways and means,” Feng Yunche said.
Then, he noticed something else.
It was a painting, but it was not a painting on paper. It was a painting on a stone slate.
He felt that the painting was very familiar and could not help but take a step forward.
However, when he went over, the painting suddenly disappeared.
“What’s going on?” he asked in shock. “I saw a painting here.”
Sikong Wuyuan quickly said, “I saw it just now. I think there should be an appointed person to see it. This painting won’t just disappear.”
“Take a step back first. This painting will appear again.”
“Is that so?”
Feng Yunche was skeptical and did as Sikong Wuyuan said.
After he was far away, the painting appeared again just as Sikong Wuyuan had said.
He looked around and asked, “But who is this destined person? Sikong Wuyuan, have you seen that stone statue? That stone statue is the strangest thing.”
“Perhaps I am the one chosen.”
At this moment, Yuan Hehe spoke boldly. Then, he followed them forward, but the painting also disappeared.
He could not help but feel disappointed. Sikong Wuyuan thought for a while and said, “I’ve seen those stone statues, but there wasn’t one for me. Have you seen my stone statue?”
“I saw you in the stone statue.” Jiang Ming scratched his head and then said, “I didn’t see mine.”
Immediately after, Feng Yunche continued, “No, I saw yours. From the looks of it, we can’t see our stone statues. Those stone statues might have formed faces based on our memories.”
After thinking about it, Jiang Ming felt that it made sense.
At this moment, the stone wall suddenly rumbled. Jiang Ming and the others’ attention was caught by this sound.
By the time they looked over, a door had already appeared above them.
Jiang Ming looked around and asked, “Should we go in?
Although he said that, he had already decided that he had to go in.
He did not expect so many things to happen in the Xiaguo Kingdom. Perhaps they could discover something secret.
As he thought about it, he took a step forward and realized that the painting had not disappeared.
As he approached the painting, it began to glow.
Jiang Ming’s mind suddenly flashed with images of the previous dynasty of the Xiaguo Kingdom, and he could not help but be a little stunned.
“I think I saw what happened to the former king of the Xiaguo Kingdom. I know that Li Nanchu killed his father to get to his position.”
“So, this is what this painting is for. I thought there would be something else. How boring.”
Yuan Hehe could not help but feel disappointed.
