Chapter 8 Difficult Brothers

Ji Huan was not injured, he was just angry.

The high priest had an agreement with her not to disturb her, and if there was an emergency, he would contact her by some special means.

God's envoy, it always has to be mysterious and secretive, so it's normal not to see it.

Ji Huan had just lit the incense candle here, and the high priest did not appear, but he accidentally found that the temple was on fire.

Ji Huan couldn't help but be shocked and angry when she saw this, she had already made a will, there should be no fire source in Chaotian Palace, but she didn't want to catch it up, no need to ask, this fire must have been lit by the little eunuch. Because there is no one else here.

On the one hand, he thought that the high priest would be blamed for appearing, and on the other hand, he was anxious to put out the fire, so he fell and fainted.

When he was carried downstairs by Tong Xi, Ji Huan woke up, but because there were people around him, he could only continue to pretend to be dizzy.

But it's strange to say, this kid is obviously a eunuch, but he is holding him in his arms, but Ji Huan has a very special feeling, and vaguely even has the idea of letting him hug him again.

Thinking about it, Ji Huan is an extremely rational person, the temple is burned, the high priest must be angry, and he must give an account to the high priest, that is to say, Tong Xi, the culprit, is dead.

After leaving Chaotian Palace, Ji Huan ordered someone to come back to arrest Tong Xi.

Tong Xi was a thief and didn't dare to resist at all, but when he was taken away by the guards, he still didn't forget to ask the guards to intercede with the empress for him.

Indeed, if Tong Xi hadn't risked his life to carry Ji Huan out of the fire, Ji Huan would have been burned to death in Chaotian Palace at the moment, so he would have to pay it back!

It's a pity that the guards didn't pay attention to the pleading of a little eunuch at all, and just arrested him and threw him into prison.

There are ready-made cells in the palace, but they are not very large, and at this moment they are already filled with nearly a hundred captives of the Jinshui Kingdom.

It is estimated that Ji Huan also thought that he was rescued by Tong Xi, so he still treated him preferentially and did not lock him up with other prisoners.

didn't stay with those cold-faced fierce men covered in blood, Tong Xi couldn't help but sigh, and said in his heart This girl is still a little conscience, you want to sacrifice me, I set fire to your Chaotian Palace, and we can be considered even...

As he pondered, his eyes swept over the small cell, and suddenly he noticed that the grass in the corner of the wall was moving, as if some small animal was hidden.

Driven by curiosity, he hurried over to pull out the haystack, and when he saw what was in the haystack, he couldn't help but be startled.

"Ahh

The little thing seemed to be frightened, and after screaming, it got into the haystack again, but because the haystack had been picked up by Tong Xi, the little thing only hid its head, but the round little fart was exposed, and it looked very happy.

After being taken aback, Tong Xi suddenly remembered, isn't this the orc on the picture scroll? Not to mention, he was very vicious when he grew up, but he was quite cute when he was a child.

"Hey, little one, don't be afraid, I'm also imprisoned, we're cellmates now, I won't hurt you"

I don't know if I understood Tong Xi's language, the little orc slowly raised his head, and two confused and slightly frightened eyes appeared from the messy straw.

"Didn't you say that the Terrans and the Orcs lived in peace? How could you be locked up here? What about your people? Oh! I see, you sneaked out and got caught..."

Tong Xi analyzed it intelligently, talked for a while, felt a little tired, and slowly sat down on the grass.

"You don't understand our language, do you? Alas, if you don't understand, so as not to add to your troubles, you are an orc, and there is a whole orc clan behind you, they don't dare to do anything to you, I am not so lucky..."

Tong Xi was still babbling, as if he felt that Tong Xi was indeed not malicious, and the little orc slowly sat down beside Tong Xi.

The little orc has no clothes, there is a beast tooth pendant on his chest, and a circle of animal skins around his waist, which covers the critical places just right, but unfortunately Tong Xi has no heart to tell whether he is male or female.

The complexion is a little close to grass green, the horns on the head have just emerged, as if there are two big bags, the hair is also sparse, and the two fangs are very well developed, sharp and white.

The little orc has not yet grown up, he is also sitting, but his head has just reached Tong Xi's shoulder, and when Tong Xi is talking, the little guy tilts his head curiously to look at Tong Xi, his face is full of confusion.

Always said by himself, Tong Xi's mouth was a little dry, turned his head to look at the little orc's cute appearance, couldn't help but smile, reached out and gently touched his head.

Human nature is good, this sentence should be applied to any creature, according to Noga, adult orcs are extremely fierce, and there is even a legend of cannibalism, but now this little guy has not grown up, if he is slowly domesticated from now on, he will not be able to change his temperament in the future.

The two people who couldn't speak sat together, and then Tong Xi also lost his interest in talking, and looked up through the small window of the prison to look outside.

The little orc also seemed to feel the boredom in Tong Xi's heart, and honestly accompanied Tong Xi to look at the sky...

In Ji Huan's dormitory, Ji Feiya and Ji Feixue rushed over as soon as possible, and it didn't take long for Ji Feiyu, Ji Feishuang, Ji Feihong, Ji Feihua, Ji Feiyang and other princes to come to greet them.

It is said that more than 300 years ago, there was a fire in Chaotian Palace, and although the high priest at that time escaped, he did not stop the gods from sending down heavenly punishments, so the empress and the two princes of the Great Moon Kingdom at that time paid the price of their lives, which was considered to calm the anger of the gods.

In other words, this time Chaotian Palace was destroyed by fire again, and if the gods sent down heavenly punishments, the consequences would definitely be quite serious.

The atmosphere in the hall was a little dull, and although the empress was fine, the expressions of the princes were even more solemn.

"Your Majesty, Erchen thinks you don't have to worry too much, it was the little eunuch who set the fire, Erchen thinks that after finding the high priest, he will scrape the little eunuch with a thousand knives in front of him, only in this way, it may be possible to calm the anger of the gods, and please ask Your Majesty to investigate"

It is the second prince Ji Feiyu who speaks, the dragon gives birth to nine sons, the children are different, this Ji Feiyu is very different from the crown prince Ji Feiya's temperament, the personality is a bit of a vulture, and most of the ideas are more extreme and ruthless.

As soon as Ji Feiyu's words fell, the Seventh Prince Ji Feixue said: "Although the little eunuch is suspected of arson, there is no evidence, and secondly, he rescued His Majesty from the fire, and it is unfair to convict him before the matter is clarified?"

Ji Feiyu rolled his eyes and said, "Then what do you say? If the high priest is to blame, will you go and suffer for Your Majesty?"

"Why not?"

After Ji Feixue finished speaking, she turned to the old lady, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the son is willing to bear the responsibility for this crime..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ji Huan's wave.

"Don't say it, tomorrow I will take that little eunuch to Yunxiao Mountain, when I am not there, the prince will be in charge of the country, and the others will do their jobs, and they will not act rashly without my will."

Yunxiao Mountain is the location of the Mausoleum of the Emperor of the Great Moon Kingdom, and before the empresses died, the high priests would cast spells to guide them to the heavenly kingdom, that is, except for Chaotian Palace, it was the only place where the high priest could hook up with the divine realm.

Now the empress is going there, apparently with the idea that if she doesn't succeed, she will become benevolent.

Seeing what the prince wanted to say, Ji Huan continued: "The prince stays, and the others go down! Feixue, you go and bring that kid, I have something to ask him."

The little eunuch saved her life, but compared to the fortune of the Great Moon Country, what is her own life? She just didn't understand a little, was the fire set by that kid?

If not, he was the only one present and must have seen the fire ignite from there.

And if so, what is his purpose?...
