Chapter 114: Fiancé (6)
As Botha said, in the next few days, Zhang Sheng is non-stop busy, after the coronation ceremony in the palace, Zhang Sheng has to go to his own territory to participate in the ancient chieftain inauguration ceremony, the most terrifying thing is that when accepting the worship of the territory subjects, Zhang Sheng wants to go up, and he has a python coiled on his body, which is said to be the last test of the gods believed in by the Sureno people.
Although the great chief of Tannik has all kinds of privileges, the so-called territorial tribal people are not the subjects who are vassal in the land of the great chief in the previous sense and serve as the chief of the big chieftain to decide life and death, if he can get the love of the tribal people, he is a kind of spiritual leader, he can compete with the local government, and his status is extremely transcendent, and he can solve various problems for the people, including legal judgments, rejection of various improper measures of the local government, etc., but if it is not supported and loved by the tribal people, the title is not important, Just like the three-tribal system in the western provinces, which has long been in decline under the impact of modern civilization, the three great chiefs are more like councillors who can directly communicate with the queen about various opinions.
Because the Great Chiefs are not as powerful as they used to be, they tend to turn a blind eye to some ancient traditions, just as the other six Great Chiefs abandoned some dangerous old traditions during the inauguration ceremony of their respective tribes.
But Zhang Sheng's inauguration ceremony, I don't know how, the swarthy Sureno tribe wizard got an extremely terrifying python.
Although it is not clear who is making trouble, Zhang Sheng does not need to guess to know that it must be Miss Lu's opponent who has used tricks.
But the python or something, naturally it is difficult for Zhang Sheng, and some unscrupulous people who followed to see the excitement were completely disappointed, and the terrible python was very obedient to Zhang Sheng, just like a well-behaved pet.
The sorcerers and elders of the Sureno tribe who participated in the worship ceremony, the subordinates and attendants of the great chieftain, the second and third level of the territory, the representatives of the tribesmen, etc., were all boiling, although the skin color was different, but the husband of the future ruler of the kingdom, the future prince, His Royal Highness, was obviously the heir of the tribe personally chosen by the god Sureno.
You must know that this ancient ritual of the python god blessing, all of the people present have heard rumors, even the oldest tribal elders have not seen it with their own eyes, at least in the past hundred years, no big chief will engage in such a dangerous ritual when he takes office.
In particular, when the python god got down from Zhang Sheng's body, he immediately entangled and swallowed a leopard sacrificed to it with great courage, which made the wizards, elders, subordinate officials, attendants, little chiefs and people present crazy, they all knelt on the ground and bowed to worship, that is, the old wizard who was afraid of living a hundred years old who had to experience the blessing of the python god despite the public opinion, also seemed to be frightened, kneeling at Zhang Sheng's feet and kissing the back of Zhang Sheng's shoes, and the pious could not be more pious.
As a wizard who has mastered all kinds of ancient rituals of the entire tribe, he knows some of the tricks of how the previous chiefs in ancient times fooled the people, so he said that the python god blessing ceremony, which needs to apply special medicinal oil to the chieftain so that the python can not attack at all, and these protective measures, he did not use the new chief at all, the python was hungry for several months, and the hungry could swallow a crocodile alive.
Of course, the old wizard didn't want to kill the new chief, but after a few letters with people, he felt that the queen's decision was too hasty, and there were historical grievances, so he used this method to resist.
But everything was beyond his expectations, and he was extremely frightened, kneeling at Zhang Sheng's feet, muttering local words in his mouth, repenting of his crimes.
And the big chief was blessed by the python god, and it was quickly added to the vinegar, and it spread throughout the entire Sureno region, and in the rumors, the image of the big chief became taller and taller every time, and finally, it became the incarnation of the god Sureno.
This is something that those who are doing small things behind the scenes are not expected.
Zhang Sheng is not the first Chinese chief in Africa, but he is certainly the most successful in terms of performance today.
After participating in the elaborate rituals, including entering the swamp with the great wizard, Zhang Sheng's road to office was successfully over.
Of course, he also went to his royal palace near the provincial capital of Sureno, where the great chiefs of Africa all had royal palaces, and most of them had countless wives.
However, the Sureno region is different from the eastern region that the queen family has been governing, the queen belongs to the foreign household, she destroyed the original hereditary Sureno region of the great chieftain family and self-territory in the founding war, so the royal palace in the Sureno region should have been abandoned, but in fact it is not like this at all, a year ago the queen built a large number of abandoned palaces, and the original simple palace with earthen houses, wooden houses, and grass houses was built into a magnificent manor villa complex.
Walking in this brand-new grand palace, Zhang Sheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, the queen had already planned everything, although the ideal candidate in her mind at that time may not be herself, but no matter who becomes Miss Lu's husband, she will get the fiefdom of Sureno's territory, which should be a decision she made a long time ago.
Thinking about yesterday's rituals, thinking of the grievances between the queen and the Sureno tribe, Zhang Sheng suddenly had a shuddering feeling, this Queen of Tannik is very kind like the queen of the grandmother next door, but she really sold you and is still helping her count the money.
The queen must know that because of her historical grievances with the Sureno tribe, those hostile forces will inevitably provoke the relationship between the Sureno tribe and the queen and the queen's heir in this struggle.
In such a situation, the queen sent herself to Sureno to participate in the so-called Great Chief Blessing Ceremony without mentioning a word, and it seemed that she had completed it quite smoothly, but it was because of her talent that those wizards and elders were shocked, otherwise it would be terrifying and dangerous every step.
This is a test of oneself, but the worst outcome may be to lose one's life.
Well, the queen has not yet announced the news of her marriage to Miss Lu, even if she is killed, it will not put the queen and the princess in an embarrassing situation, at most, the princess's childhood sweetheart's fiancé and the heir to the territory chosen by the queen are disobedient to the head of the tribe, the queen and the princess will get sympathy points, but the other party shows wolf ambitions, and the queen will have an excuse to thoroughly investigate this incident, and try to nip the danger in the bud while she is alive.
If you get it here, it means that the queen's "affirmation" of her ability and those ** soups during the interview are not lies, and she has passed this test.
Although, based on her past experience, the queen should have a lot of confidence in herself.
But Zhang Sheng still couldn't help but smile bitterly, Okay, Your Majesty, my future mother-in-law, I am really fortunate to be your son-in-law, but Alexander
