To Four Thousand Years Later

Chapter 64: He has not yet realized the seriousness of the problem

Everything is going smooth.

After King Solomon returned from Tire, he only took a short rest and dealt with some important government affairs, and then immediately rushed to the small hall where the prisoners were held.

Solomon did not bring any guards. He only brought Abishag, the clerk who was responsible for recording Solomon's words and deeds, and went deep into them alone, talking cordially with these Egyptians, just like their brothers.

He gently inquired about the physical conditions of these prisoners, and asked them if there was anything wrong with the food, accommodation, water, etc. during the detention, or if there were any guards who were rude to them—he even apologized to these guards . Because he broke their fingers so that they could no longer shoot arrows and go to battle.

The captives were simply flattered.

Not to mention the alien king who defeated them—even the pharaoh, no, even the priest would never be so gentle with them.

And without any guards, he came among these captives himself... This trust also moved them. Some people even comforted King Solomon in turn, saying something like "Your Majesty, this is for our own good", "This way we won't die on the battlefield", "Our two countries can be at peace" and so on.

Solomon even helped some young soldiers in their early teens pack their bags with a kind smile. He also secretly stuffed them with some dried meat.

During this time, the order to notify other people in the city to return to their homes and close the door has also been issued. All the things that are placed outside, that may be bumped or lost, are placed in the backyard.

Then the priests blow the trumpet in the city.

The sound of the horn is high and far away, and it can be heard for more than ten miles. The Firstborn Sons, who were building the temple, heard the sound of the trumpet and ran back in a row.

These specially trained eldest sons stand in a particularly beautiful posture, and they don't even disturb them when running... It is said that this is one of the few willful hobbies of King Solomon, especially like to arrange the eldest sons in a neat queue.

If anyone ran around without obeying orders, or squatted down and sat down when others were standing, Marshal Binaya would whip his back with a cowhide whip. Over time, the formation of the eldest sons became extraordinarily neat.

As for what the Firstborn Sons think about this, the citizens of Israel have no way of knowing. But from their point of view, this is meaningless—isn't it enough for soldiers to be strong and brave?

But it was something their beloved King Solomon liked, and they liked it too. Today's children are also beginning to gradually regard neatness and tidiness as good, and obeying order as good. This trend gradually became popular among the people.

But now, for the first time, these awe-inspiring eldest sons showed a terrifying order in front of the people of Jerusalem.

The Firstborns lined up and stood on both sides of the street with the sound of trumpets, forming a passage. And their hands were pressed on the handle of the knife at their waists, they looked at each other motionlessly, without saying a word.

The eerie silence among these men frightened the Egyptian captives for a moment. But under Solomon's deliberately active atmosphere, this unhappiness quickly faded away.

Solomon was surrounded by young warriors—he talked to them loudly and laughed with them. The children were all excited, full of energy from the rich food, and it was not at all obvious that they were captured by someone... It was as easy as going out to play.

This made Priest Meru frown.

He was at the front of the whole team, crowded by the noisy crowd behind him, his expression was a bit embarrassed, his facial features were tightly wrinkled, and obvious unhappiness was revealed on his face.

—but he dared not show it to Solomon.

What Solomon had said to him before was still seared in his heart. Now Solomon is even more fearful and powerful in his heart than Pharaoh...

But in any case, these wastes are too friendly to the Israelis! Don’t you know who killed your comrades and brought you captive here?

Melu cursed the stupidity of these warriors in his heart, and felt a little afraid of the guards lined up on both sides.

…These silent iron-like people are really terrifying.

Melu compared the eldest son army on both sides with the captives behind him in his mind...

Then he felt sad.

— Am I afraid that Egypt will perish?

It wasn't until everyone left Jerusalem that the Firstborn Sons breathed a sigh of relief. A small number followed Solomon out of the city, while others went door to door to inform the inhabitants that they were free to come out.

Solomon emerged from the crowd and mounted a high rock outside the city. Those soldiers quickly lined up outside the city, standing silently behind him.

The captives also gradually calmed down, looking up at Solomon.

Coincidentally, the day Goldman Sachs. From their angle the stone looked over, and the sun was shining right on Solomon. There seemed to be a halo around him.

"My former enemies! The brave warriors before my eyes! Listen to Solomon"

Solomon called out to the bewildered people below: "What I'm going to say here, what I'm going to say to you is—"

"—I, reject disputes! You should also reject disputes!"

"You should know that there is no end to the dead in this world? How can strife be cut off on earth?"

Solomon looked down at the people who were staring blankly at him and said, "When you attack one country, you will attack that country; What about killing them all?"

“Whoever digs a pit will fall into it; whoever rolls a stone, the stone will roll back on him; whoever sheds blood will himself be stabbed to death. It's cowardice—"

Solomon said, holding up his right hand.

The people behind him cheered loudly at the same time: "Long live King Solomon!"

"Long live my king—"

The sound wave roared into a tide and struck with a bang.

Melu, who had already experienced it once before, was fine. But the captives who saw this formation for the first time suddenly panicked.

They started to get confused, whispering among themselves.

"What I'm going to say is—"

Solomon's voice suddenly amplified, rolling in like thunder: "I was kind to you, I gave you meat and cold goat's milk, but I took away your two fingers—this is a warning to you, you can't do it again in this life. Fight with people!"

"You will gain wisdom, you will gain understanding, and you must not act according to the flesh. You must not forget, and you must not stray from the words of my mouth. Good luck to you-"

Solomon shouted: "I and my glorious first-born sons, I wish you a safe life!"

As they turned around slowly, they marched towards the southwest border under the **** and **** of the remaining eldest son legions.

After walking away, the eldest sons suddenly began humming in a low voice.

—that was the song Solomon wrote, and it was the song Solomon gave these captives to listen to every day. It tries to describe the scene of happiness where everyone loves each other and the king is wise and the people are happy.

The Egyptians hummed unconsciously, and some of them even showed reluctance in their eyes.

Although Priest Melu felt that this was not very good, he seemed to have no problem listening to the song, so he temporarily suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and decided to ignore it for the time being.

After all, these people don't know him. After all, he was just a delivery priest...

But behind them, Solomon watched their backs calmly. There was no emotion in that gaze, and it was so indifferent that it made people's spine tremble when they saw it.

"Solomon, is there any use to this song you let them take away?"

Baimon asked in a cold voice.

He was really curious about this—after all, in the overall plan, only this part was carefully written down by Solomon.

"This song will be recorded throughout the history of Egypt."

Solomon said calmly, "If Pharaoh didn't realize the seriousness of the problem."
