936 Savior
When Jiang Ming turned, the others also looked at the thin man.
The thin man panicked. He waved his hand. “Why are you all looking at me? I don’t have any intentions of killing you. Now that the Xiaguo Kingdom needs a new king, aren’t you planning to take the throne?”
He quickly changed the topic and looked around.
When a new king took office, it was inevitable that he would need prestige.
He usually provided relief to disaster victims and would be known as a benevolent person among the people.
If Ning Caichen became the new king, his life would be saved.
“I don’t plan to take the throne. Anyway, we should leave.” Jiang Ming turned around.
Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe nodded.
“My new king, how can you abandon the Xiaguo Kingdom?”
At this moment, a group of people suddenly appeared in the palace. The old man in the lead suddenly knelt in front of Jiang Ming with a sly look in his eyes.
Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment. Then, he shook his head. “I’m not your new king at all. Don’t try to make things up.”
The old man calmly took out a bowl of blood. He smiled and said, “Whether or not you are the new king, you can verify it by dripping your blood in here. When the blood fuses, it will be the time for the new king to come.”
Jiang Ming felt that it was troublesome and was about to refuse. Unexpectedly, a group of commoners followed the old man and knelt on the ground.
“Please fuse with the new king’s blood!” they shouted. “Otherwise, we’ll all die on the streets.”
Jiang Ming smiled awkwardly.
“Ning Caichen, why don’t you give it a try?” Sikong Wuyuan quickly suggested. “No matter what, these people are innocent. It’s just some blood.”
Yuan Hehe felt that it made sense. He also tried to persuade Jiang Ming. “Yes, Ning Caichen. You should try. This is not a small matter.”
Jiang Ming thought for a moment, then cut his finger and dripped the blood into the bowl.
Miraculously, the blood of the two sides fused and formed a dragon.
The old man was so excited that he broke the bowl. He quickly knelt on the ground and said to Jiang Ming, “Your Majesty, you are the new king of the Xiaguo Kingdom. Please be the new king and lead the Xiaguo Kingdom to unify the world.”
“Shut up.”
Jiang Ming grinned and turned around to leave.
Unexpectedly, those people and the commoners surrounded them in a circle and knelt down non-stop. It was obvious that they wanted to force them to take over.
They knelt down and begged for a new king to ascend the throne. Seeing this, Jiang Ming had no choice but to agree.
He was heartless, but he could not kill people indiscriminately.
Jiang Ming had mixed feelings when he entered the palace.
Along the way, he really did not expect that he would become the new king of the Xiaguo Kingdom.
The old man went forward to help Jiang Ming, but Jiang Ming waved his hand.
The old man knelt on the ground again.
“Lord Ning Caichen, I’m General Xiaguo. I’m here to support you. I think we should change the way we address you. You have already become the new king, so you have to give yourself a title.”
Sikong Wuyuan thought about it and said, “Why don’t we call him savior?”
He had always thought that Ning Caichen was the savior of the world.
“Savior… This is good.”
General Xiaguo’s eyes lit up, and he immediately knelt down.
“Your Majesty, I am very grateful that you have become the new king of the Xiaguo Kingdom.”
“It’s alright,” Jiang Ming muttered to himself and smiled.
Yuan Hehe thought for a moment. “Usually, the first thing a new king does when he ascends to the throne is to rebuild his home. You’ll be busy later.”
General Xiaguo nodded. “That’s true. The people are in dire straits now. Please take a look.”
Walking on the streets, some residents had already lost their homes. They made their own tents.
The outside of the tent was open, and it was not done very well, so people could see the scene inside.
Many people were injured, some had broken arms and legs, and some could not speak.
Jiang Ming sent the royal physician to treat them. However, he shook his head and said, “Your Majesty, some people’s conditions cannot be completely cured. My medical skills are not up to par. The skills of the royal physicians of the Xiaguo Kingdom are lacking.”
Jiang Ming could not help but complain.
He glanced around and found that those people could be treated.
The royal physician was flustered. He quickly knelt down and said, “Please don’t punish me, Your Majesty. If you have anything to say, please continue.”
“I didn’t punish you, did I?”
Jiang Ming yawned and pondered.
Sikong Wuyuan could not stand it anymore. He quickly said, “I know some medical skills too. I think these people can be cured. I think I should go and treat them. royal physician, you can be my assistant.”
“I think you’ll be the next royal physician!” Yuan Hehe teased Sikong Wuyuan.
Sikong Wuyuan hurriedly shook his head. “I don’t want to be a royal physician. It’s so annoying.”
“Alright,” the royal physician hurriedly replied.
Sikong Wuyuan followed them to the treatment room.
Jiang Ming thought of some people scattered in the Daliang Kingdom and planned to find an opportunity to bring them back.
Yuan Hehe and the child wandered around.
“Let’s see what the civilians need.”
“Those people are quite pitiful. Feel free to take a look.”
Jiang Ming continued to walk forward and found a civilian area.
The injured people here were the same as those in front of them, but they were all thin and weak. They were obviously hungry.
Some people did not dare to go forward when they saw Jiang Ming. They could only shout from the front. “Your Majesty, please give us a sip of water to drink. We haven’t had a sip of water for several weeks.”
“Why don’t you have water to drink?” Jiang Ming asked carefully. *Didn’t the Xiaguo Country just have a disaster a few days ago?”
He was asking a pregnant woman who was holding a baby in her arms.
The child looked at Jiang Ming innocently.
The pregnant woman did not seem to know how to speak. The baby helped her. “My mother is coughing so much that she can’t speak. She hasn’t been able to eat or drink water here.
“Last year, a batch of locusts came and directly wiped out our food. The old king felt that we were the ones who killed the food, so he cut off our water sources. He sent people to suck away the water.”
“How bizarre…”
Jiang Ming was speechless. Then, he said, “Can you take me to see that field?”
He thought about it, maybe he could solve this problem.
The baby and the pregnant woman immediately had hope.
The baby held the pregnant woman’s hand and led Jiang Ming forward. They turned right into an alley.
