There were many vassal states, and it was a harvest celebration, so gifts would naturally come from time to time to win the pharaoh's favor and reduce taxes next year.

Elephants, lions, crocodiles, peacocks, parrots, flowers, birds, fish, insects, queens and other animals all came as tribute.

It can also be cloth, jewelry, gold jewelry.

What was delivered this time? Nakhat was a little curious when he saw two maids holding plates. The plates were covered with gold lids and he couldn't see what was inside.

"Wow~" A picture opened next to it, which was a whale painted on linen.

"Not long ago, the fishermen caught a huge whale..." The messenger looked at the picture and described the huge whale. How the fishermen fought, the whale almost swallowed the fishing boat, knocked it over, and other things the whale did.

legend.

Everyone doesn’t know much about whales in the sea. Listen,

The messenger said respectfully: "This is one of its teeth!"

He gestured softly and noblely for a lid to be opened. Inside was a fang of a beast that seemed to have been enlarged many times, about the size of a human head.

Nakhat looked at the fang on the plate curiously, and when he wanted to reach out to take it, the prince ordered someone to pick it up and show it to everyone.

A slave came forward and held up his teeth with his hands, letting everyone see clearly.

Such a big tooth is from the mouth of a whale, and everyone was amazed.

The messenger continued: "The entire whale skull will be transported to His Majesty the Pharaoh in the near future. Besides..." He pointed to another plate with a somewhat pretentious hand.

After the golden lid was opened, there was a piece of meat roasted to a golden color and drizzled with honey. I didn't know what kind of spices were used, but the aroma overflowed in the temple, covering up all the food, even the strong smoked spices.

Xining and the prince immediately looked at each other, and both of them understood... It's coming, it's finally coming...

"This is whale meat cooked with dozens of spices and seasonings. Because the weather was hot, after we got the whale meat, we iced it with well water and traveled for five days and five nights. When we arrived, we ate the meat outside.

After cutting it off, you only get this piece of meat, which is as fresh as a fresh kill." The messenger respectfully asked the maid to bring the meat plate to the Pharaoh.

The prince immediately signaled, and a person responsible for the drug test came up with a silver needle. After inserting the needle and pulling it out, the silver needle did not change color, so he nodded to the prince and stepped back.

The meat is not poisonous, but there is always something wrong with it in Xining! Such a palm-sized piece of meat is only about the size of a steak, and Nakhat can eat it in one meal.

If this piece of meat is not poisoned, it would be a shame for the whale that died tragically. It took five days and five nights to travel. What a great opportunity at this time.

Could it be that they used a special poison that couldn't be detected with a silver needle?

Mo Ming: "Nonsense, silver only reacts to sulfides, and purified arsenic cannot be detected with a silver needle."

Xining: "Is this piece of meat poisonous?"

Mo Ming: "Ten tragic deaths."

Xining...: "Excuse me, please leave, I won't send you off!"

"Your Majesty the Pharaoh, please use it while it's hot." The tribute envoy bent over, with a respectful and humble attitude, and a flattering smile on his face.

No, we can't let the Pharaoh eat it, but there is no evidence that the meat is poisonous, and the meat is so grilled that Nakhat, a foodie who can't walk when he sees iced honeydew melon, has a big index finger.

move.

Xining deliberately acted coquettishly: "Father, can you reward me with this piece of meat? I have never had a good appetite, so I want to eat it!"

Xining winked at the prince. Of course the prince understood, but this matter was difficult to handle. There were so many people watching, and he couldn't shout in public, "This meat is poisonous, don't eat it!"

The prince thought for a while and said, "Father, Eleventh sister has always had a bad appetite, why don't you give her the meat." As long as Nakhat agrees, Eleventh sister can order someone to take the meat down and "eat it slowly."

I don’t know what kind of meat was used to roast it, it was so fragrant. Looking at the fragrant barbecue, the honey gave off an amber color and shine on the meat, Nakhat swallowed his saliva: "Okay, I will take a bite.

The rest is yours."

Give you half and give me half!

Being able to save a bite in your mouth is already a great blessing. But now is not the time to be touched by the father's love for 24 Xiao. No matter what, this piece of meat cannot be eaten by Nakhat, even if it is not poisonous, he cannot risk it.

risk.

The prince looked at the messenger carefully, but the messenger stood there without changing his expression, still pretending to be respectful and waiting.

These people must be extremely courageous. You can't tell anything by just staring.

Nakhat couldn't hold it in any longer, and stretched out his hand to pick up the knife that was placed next to the meat...

Xining's eyes suddenly lit up, and at the same time the prince also understood.

"Wait a minute..." "Father..." The two people stopped Nakhat in unison.

Nakhat was stunned, holding a meat cleaver with a gem-encrusted handle in his hand.

The prince took the first step and said: "Father, let me help you cut it."

Xining immediately followed: "Yes, let me cut it. Brother, you have to leave a big piece for me."

Nakhat suddenly laughed and shook his head helplessly: "You have a good appetite, okay!"

He's such a good dad, even though he's a very bad guy.

The prince calmly took the knife, and Xining saw an almost imperceptible strange color flash through the messenger's eyes.

The prince held the knife and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xi Ning signaling to him... I understand...

"Bring the plate!" the prince ordered.

Another dinner plate was brought over, but the prince did not cut the meat. Instead, he took the dinner plate and put the knife inside the dinner plate.

"This is?" Nakhat was stunned.

"Guards!" The prince waved his hand, and three or four of the Pharaoh's personal guards immediately ran up.

The prince pointed at the tribute envoy: "It's tied up!"

One of the guards immediately took off the hemp rope hanging from his waist and tied up the envoy neatly.

Xining stood up and looked at the knife on the dinner plate: "Here, use this knife to cut the meat."

He also warned: "Don't touch the blade, cut into small pieces, otherwise it will be difficult to stuff."

A slave came forward. He was not stupid and could understand what he meant. His hands were slightly trembling and he began to cut the meat.

The envoy was tied up with five flowers and a look of surprise on his face: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Princess, what do you mean?"

The prince saw that a few pieces had been cut off, so he ordered: "Okay, feed it to him!"

The burly guard was about to go up and open the messenger's mouth, but the messenger smiled.

The messenger had a scornful smile on his face: "No, I'll eat it myself!"

The prince nodded: "Untie the rope and let him go to the side and eat them all."

It was best to eat it by yourself. The guards who obeyed the orders escorted the envoy and stepped aside, allowing the envoy to eat the meat one bite at a time.

There was still residue left on the plate. I tested it with a silver needle and it still didn't turn black.

Everyone watched as if they were watching a good show, and the messenger ate the meat leisurely and contentedly.

The prince looked a little confused and looked at the eleventh princess. The eleventh princess was still sitting there, watching the envoy eating in a show, as if everything had nothing to do with her.

Yes, they are all descendants of gods, and nothing they can do is excessive! Even if they let the envoys eat the tribute meat, so what?
Chapter completed!
