In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, the shallow sight sweeps across the pool full of lotus flowers. The rippling water surface reflects the upright and proud posture, and the beautiful flowers are swaying in the bright sunshine of midsummer.
"My lord, from this point of view, the battle between us and the Libyans in the oasis not only did not dispel their thoughts, but also moved the remnants of the Syrian army who have been hiding. If their two armies join forces to attack the delta, the situation on the border may be dire." Trouble." Bahari turned his steps and said towards the back of Tusasita.
I just received news from the Sinai Peninsula that unidentified troops have appeared in several Syrian cities very close to the peninsula. Although the number is small, they have been continuously gathering.
Without saying a word, the fingertips rested on the window sill, a pair of icy sharp eyes reflected on the stone surface scorched by the sun, traced the traces of the sun with the fingers, and walked silently and slowly on the edge of the hot window sill.
Hoctimus looked at Bahari, the two exchanged glances, he nodded respectfully, and said: "Your Majesty, I think it is still necessary to deploy the army as soon as possible. Now only the Fourth Army of Kemont is guarding the delta. To deal with the Li-Syrian coalition forces, not to mention that the Fourth Army has just experienced the Oasis War, and the army needs time to adjust and cultivate. If it enters the battlefield immediately, its morale will inevitably be damaged. Although Marie's Third Army is stationed in Sinai and Syria, once the Li-Syrian coalition forces Launch a sudden attack and disperse the third army stationed in Syria. It is difficult to gather all of them to rush to the border in a short time. Even if the army left in Sinai can quickly return to the delta to support Kemont, after all, Sinai only has a quarter of the third army This number is still not enough to resist the Li-Syrian coalition forces." Speaking of this, he cast a glance at Marie, and sent a hinting look calmly.
"My lord, I'm going to the delta. Your army is there. If there is a fight, I, as the commander of the third army, must go to the front with my soldiers." Marie stepped forward eagerly as he spoke. One step, kneel down on one knee.
By the window, the tall figure is bathed in bright light, like a beautiful and exquisite statue.Tusahita stood quietly, still staring out the window, still silent.
After a while, the kneeling Marie couldn't hold his breath. He lowered his head and begged again: "My lord, please let me go to Sinai."
Lifting his chin slightly, he asked unexpectedly. "At the beginning, I asked you to put most of the troops of the Third Army into various cities in Syria. How did you distribute the garrisons?"
I was taken aback for a moment, wondering what she meant by asking this question, and Marie replied truthfully: "Allocate the number of troops according to the size and importance of the city. Larger cities have more troops. The capital city of Syria and several important port cities, The minister dispatched more troops to guard."
Laughing, curling up the corners of his mouth in satisfaction, without sound or interest.Turning his head, he glanced lightly at the person kneeling behind him, and then glanced at the people beside him.Raising his eyebrows lightly, he said calmly, "Get up."
Nodding his head, Marie stood up reluctantly.
On Tusashita's side face hidden in the shadows, there was a completely insolent smile, but it was just a shallow arc at the corner of his lips. "Break down city by city."
Doubt came from the fleeting expressions on several faces.
Turning around, leaning back, crossing his arms around his chest, he looked at his minister leisurely, smiling lightly as if having fun, but his voice gradually sank. "Marie, send an order to your lieutenants to immediately reorganize the army and wipe out the Syrian rebels in the cities under their jurisdiction."
"My lord, let the army wipe out the rebels in the jurisdiction. In this way, the troops will be dispersed. If we encounter rebels who outnumber us, we will be very passive in dealing with them." A general who has experienced hundreds of battles naturally has more combat experience than others.
Waving his hands, he smiled calmly, reflected in his deep eyes. "If they can't even deal with the riots in their own jurisdiction, then don't expect them to be useful in the battlefield." Outside the window, the maid's whispers were heard, mixed with the fragrance of the summer wind, soft Sweet like honey that melts in your mouth. "They must be wiped out before the rebels are assembled, and they must not be allowed to leave Syria alive."
Bahari nodded, with an expression of approval on his mature face, he said respectfully: "The king is right, the rebels must not be allowed to leave Syria. Even if they cannot be wiped out in one fell swoop in Syria, as long as they flee Entering the Sinai Peninsula, there is only a dead end waiting for them."
"No, they must be wiped out inside Syria, and they must not be given the opportunity to escape to the Sinai."
Startled, Hawktimus expressed doubts about Tusasita's order. "King, the Sinai Peninsula still has the Third Legion----"
"Return all Sinai's troops back to the Delta to support Kemont." She looked at Hawktimus' startled face, then turned to Marie and gave the order.
"There is no army in the Sinai Peninsula. If there are Syrian rebels fleeing here, wouldn't there be no one to resist?" Bahari asked anxiously. The Sinai Peninsula on the Mediterranean Sea is Egypt's last line of defense against the Syrians. A land-based island bridge, if left unguarded, would be tantamount to putting the borders of Egypt in great danger.
The moment he straightened his body and took a leisurely step, a breeze soaked in the dense water vapor of the Nile River blew in behind him. The curtain beside the window was circling in the wind. The golden gauze curtain stretched out its golden hand reluctantly like a lover, trying to grab The people who live and leave gradually, but in vain touch the corner of the robe that gradually drifts away with the pace.
"That's why... the rebels can't escape from Syria. Marie, can your Third Army be able to intercept all the Syrian rebels?"
Nodding his head, the voice was full of confidence, with the firmness of vowing to die. "King, they can do it. Even if there is only one soldier left in the end, they will stick to the pass from Syria to the Sinai Peninsula. They will never let a rebel set foot on the land of Sinai."
Laughing, unruly like the unimpeded wind over the desert. "I leave Syria to you, Marie."
Nodding solemnly, it was rare for this arrogant young general to show such a serious expression. "Yes, I will not disappoint the king."
She smiled at him, full of trust.
"Unas, how are you preparing for tomorrow's Nile River Festival and New Year's ceremony?"
Standing aside, Unas, who had never said a word, took a step forward and said: "King, everything is ready, please rest assured."
"Tomorrow's Nile Festival will be presided over by Arnis himself. It's rare that he's back this year, and everything must be arranged in perfect order, you know?" She asked again, she didn't want to disappoint her elder brother who strives for perfection in everything.
"Yes, I understand, please rest assured, the king. I have personally supervised all the links, and there will be no mistakes."
Walking to the soft couch on the left side of the hall, she lay on the couch, and the maid immediately stepped forward and straightened her slightly messy robes, with gentle eyes, affectionate mouth corners, and cautious movements. "Okay, that's all for the border affairs. If there is nothing else, you can step back."
"Yes." Several people bowed and saluted, and retreated respectfully towards the door.
Supporting his forehead with one hand, he took the wine glass handed over by the maid with the other hand, and did not drink it, but shook the glass gently. "Marie, you stay."
Marie took back his steps, bowed his head and waited.
When they all left the room, Tusasita spoke softly, with a calm and indifferent voice. "Marie, send an order to your cronies in the Third Army, let them secretly monitor the Syrian royal family, don't startle the enemy, and don't act rashly. Once the resistance of the Syrian rebels exceeds our control... execute all members of the Syrian royal family, one Do not stay!"
The suddenly changed face was full of horror and doubt, and he hesitated when he opened his mouth. "This...not one left?"
The rim of the golden cup was close to the corner of her slightly raised lips, she smiled. "Not one left."
Throat tightened, breath stuck in the stiff throat, Marie's eyes flickered left and right. "King, killing all the Syrian royal families will cause an uproar in Syria, and the situation will fall into a state of chaos that we cannot predict. At that time, even if we send a large army to suppress it, I am afraid that the riots in Syria will not be able to be controlled."
Still smiling happily, even with a hint of disdainful contempt. "If an army of 10 is not enough to suppress, send 15; if 15 is not enough, send 20; .”
"Yes, I understand." Nodding his head, he couldn't help but recall that year, when he went to Syria with Tusasita, and witnessed the iron-blooded style of the 20-year-old young queen conquering Syria.Compared with her ruthlessness at the time, today's order to execute all the royal family did not surprise him at all.
"Remember, this matter must be kept secret. Except for your cronies, you must not let others know before you do it, including the dignitaries of Thebes, huh?" Eyebrows raised, eyes were deep, and the sun could not reach the deep cold abyss, Hidden is a bloodthirsty golden-spotted beast.
"I understand."
"Also, remove your hand that protects Yuebai." Put the cup on the side of the couch, put your flat palm on the side of your leg, and your nails are as round as jade, reflecting the colorful sunlight projected from the window behind you. .
"Remove?" Frowning, both happy and confused.
Glancing at him, I saw a sense of rejoicing on his expressive face. "I'll send someone else to protect her. You've bothered her a long time ago, so I'll let you go!"
"Wang, minister, minister is not annoying Miss Xia, it's just, just..." He stammered and lowered his head in embarrassment.
Laughing, brown eyes curved slightly. "Okay, no need to explain."
"Yes, I thank the king for your understanding."
"Marie, how long has it been since you went to the battlefield?" Suddenly, the conversation changed and she asked.
"Four years and eight months, I don't remember the number of days."
"Want to go to war?"
"Think!" Thinking crazy, holding back crazy.
"Really?" Pretending not to believe it, deliberately embarrassing him and making fun of him.
"I was born to be a rough man who knows how to fight. The king asked me to send the army to Sinai to guard the border of Egypt, but let me stay in Thebes to enjoy the blessings. I have nothing to do except eat, drink and have fun all day long. I feel sorry for you... Those soldiers stationed at the border." The thick black brows were tied into a knot, which was called the knot of guilt that could not be untied.
His eyes flickered lightly, and suddenly, he realized that he also missed the happy feeling of being in the front line. The bloody and dusty gunpowder smoke poured into the choking breath, and he was caught in the crisis of life hanging by a thread woven by swords, lights and swords. Rich and intoxicating taste...
"Then go."
Surprised, I suspected that there was something wrong with my ears. "What?!"
"Go to Syria and lead your third army to defend for me the territory we took back with countless blood, and to protect the honor of the Egyptian gods for me." Straightened up, looking directly at the face of the young man full of surprises in front of him, one word Said in one sentence.
Suddenly, kneeling down, he bowed deeply to the person on the couch, and then made an oath earnestly. "The king... I swear to defend Syria to the death, and I will never let a Syrian rebel reach the Sinai Peninsula. I swear on my own life, I will not let the king down."
"You never let me down, get up." Smiling and sighing, he sent Marie back to the battlefield, like releasing a wild horse, watching him gallop happily in the vast world, with worries, doubts, and more Reluctant.
"Yes." With endless gratitude, he felt his eyes filled with warm liquid, and he gritted his teeth to force them back into their sockets.
"Let's go after the Nile River Festival is over, and make a quick decision."
"Yes."
"Marie, return to Thebes alive."
"Yes, I will come back alive." Nodding his head, when he looked up at Sasita, he grinned like a big kid who snatched a treasure.
"Okay." Nodding with a slight smile, the scented air around her was filled with a slight sense of parting sorrow. The moment she looked at Marie with her silent smile, the breath of parting was even stronger.
The author has something to say: From last week to today, I went to the hospital for several days in a row, and I really felt two problems.Health is priceless, don't think that you are great because you are young, maybe a certain disease can knock you down at a certain moment.In addition, there are really many people in the hospital, where there are queues, where there are people coming and going, once I go there and I am exhausted, I will almost be in the hospital this week, alas. . . .
After the update, it will not be scheduled at noon, and it will be updated when Qiu is free.
Chapter 24
In the new year, with the fragrance of floods brought by gusts of southerly winds, the annual flooding season of the Nile River begins without fail, and the new year comes on the same day.
The brilliant sunshine in midsummer fills the broad water surface of the Nile River with layers of waves, rippling waves of gold, brilliant gold, just like the mood of people in Thebes city standing on the banks of the Nile River.
The atmosphere in the palace to welcome the new year is very warm, those rouge fragrances fluttering in the wind, Yan Pingting Tingting, almost become the fascinating and charming reverie in this majestic palace.
Recently, the solemn and clean palace has been almost filled with princes, nobles and envoys from all over the world. This huge palace, which occupies one third of the city, suddenly feels cramped.
When guests come from afar, the most exciting thing is the young girls among the Egyptian nobles.As a result, almost overnight, the tall palace walls became a place of beauty and beauty.
Often in the corridor, I am amazed for a moment by the beautiful faces that walk towards me, young, charming, enchanting, pretty... Only then did Xia Yuebai understand why Penny was always asking her to dress up before going out. Su Suyi is really as inconspicuous as a maid.
Strange beautiful faces, strange noble guests, strange New Year customs... In this ancient and strange world, everyone is happy and looking forward to it... except Xia Yuebai.
When she came to this strange time and space, although the season was exactly the same as that in the 21st century, it reminded her of the equally lively and noisy annual Spring Festival in her own country.
The days of family reunion, the lively rhythm of visiting relatives and friends, the winter vacation accompanying Ji Hui to plunge into the crowded shopping malls, the moment when firecrackers are fired at midnight on New Year's Eve, the scene of cats jumping and running away... But now... in ancient Egypt. When the new year came, Xia Yuebai could only guard this ancient and mysterious land, sitting by the window in a desolate manner, holding the dress just sent by the maid in a daze.
Thinking about relatives every festive season, this sentence, probably only those who are in this situation can deeply feel the meaning of it.
Yesterday, which was also the day before the new year, she did not see Tusasita, and she still did not return to Amon Palace until late at night.
She could imagine how busy she was, but she didn't expect that she was so busy that she didn't even have time to sleep... I sympathized with her busy day and night, and sympathized with her life as the queen of Egypt. These seemingly fulfilling and gorgeous days are really extraordinary. can bear.
In the past few days, I have been thinking wildly.
I think about those days when Nanyuan was with me, I think about the inexplicably flustered eyes that refused to give in when I looked at each other, I think about the silent but meticulous care that Tusasita gave her, and the thoughtfulness on the roof of the temple on the West Bank that night Consolation, those undisguised focused eyes, those presumptuous gentle smiles...you will blush and heartbeat just thinking about it.
Then, Xia Yuebai immediately reminded herself that this is very boring, she is feverish about a woman's words and deeds, it's really ridiculous...
Holding the bright jewelry in her hand, Petunia stood by the bronze mirror and greeted her. Xia Yuebai smiled and got up with the dress.
The Nile River Ritual is about to begin, and as the Pharaoh's servant, she also needs to go to participate.In fact, Xia Yuebai didn't have much interest in celebration banquets. After staying here for a long time, the extravagant and extravagant banquets were staged in this resplendent and resplendent palace almost every now and then, and she was already tired of it.
What really made her look forward to was that Arnis displayed in front of everyone the magical power close to God that only belonged to the Egyptian high priest.
It is said that if you can see the demeanor of this servant of God with your own eyes, your life will be worth it. Xia Yuebai is full of longing and curiosity, and wants to see his proud appearance when he performs miracles.
Letting Penny dress herself up, watching a clear but not quite like her face gradually reflected in the bronze mirror, Xia Yuebai looked at the person in the mirror with some surprise... Eye sockets drawn by black eyeliner, red Lips stained with nectar, a headdress with a row of small golden beads dangling on the forehead, a golden and blue two-color braided rope ornament passing through the hair, a glittering gemstone necklace scattered from the neck to the shoulder, and a fan-shaped gold pectoral , indescribably luxurious and eye-catching... Ignoring the heavy gold jewels that made it difficult to move, and the overly long skirt of the floor-falling dress, Xia Yuebai lost her mind for a while looking at the delicate face in the mirror, never expecting, There is still such a side of myself.
Then, she also wanted to know the price of her outfit in the modern world.
There was a reminder from the maid outside the door that the sacrifice was about to begin, and she was asked to leave immediately and go to the main hall to watch the ceremony.
Inhaling deeply, exhaling long, looking at the floor-to-ceiling brass mirror again, his gaze swept over the person in the mirror, he smiled lightly, and walked out of the room with his skirt lifted.
★★★★★★★★★
A huge gold-encircled monster located right in front of the entire palace is the main hall of Thebes Palace, which is only used for major celebrations or when receiving kings from other countries -- the Temple of the Sun.
Since the No.11 Dynasty established its capital in Thebes, the annual New Year ceremony is held here.
Stepping nervously but pretending to be calm, Xia Yuebai stepped into the hall, and the moment she raised her eyes, her eyes were effortlessly attracted by the snow-white steps directly in front of the hall... Her vision spread upward like clouds in the distance Going up the white steps, on the top of dozens of alabaster steps, the shining golden throne is extremely eye-catching.
Clean white and pure gold, two extremely pure colors, intertwined to set off the huge golden throne.
His eyes flickered, because the person on the throne was obviously familiar but suddenly felt strange.
For a brief moment, she felt as if she saw a god... high above, dazzling and unobtrusive, and out of reach.
The young king on the throne also noticed the figure by the door, and gave her a condescending smile, that smile was indescribably indifferent, neither light nor heavy, and dispensable.
It was the same as his attitude towards her these days, indifferent and casual.
Suddenly, Xia Yuebai had an urge to turn around and leave.
Controlling the steps under his feet, he continued to move forward, approaching the center of the main hall step by step, and looking over the past, most of the shadowy crowds were unfamiliar faces. Nobles and high-ranking officials were sitting around, and there were many foreign envoys among them.At a glance, at least several hundred people gathered in the tall and spacious Sun Temple.
His eyes wandered around, and finally saw a few faces he knew.
With a charming and handsome smile, Unas winked at her mischievously a few times. Just as Xia Yuebai passed by his desk, he whistled lightly, a very low whistle, and was immediately caught by the crowd. Xia Yuebai could still hear the lively conversations surrounding her.
Not going to pay attention to his frivolous actions like a street rogue, Xia Yuebai raised her eyebrows at him, raised her chin slightly, and walked towards her seat with a haughty expression like a proud peacock.
Her seat is about five or six meters below the steps of the throne, counting the dozens of steps, there is at least a distance of more than twenty meters between her and her.
The distance is worlds apart, one is an emperor who holds the lifeblood of Egypt in his hands, and the other is an ordinary person who can't even control his own destiny... It's ridiculous that the distance that can be measured by the naked eye hides that two people can't get closer in a lifetime difference.
Suddenly, I was saddened by my insignificance.
Facing the direction of the throne, she nodded slightly. On such an occasion, Xia Yuebai didn't want to be treated as a wild girl who didn't understand the rules.
Tusasita didn't say anything, his eyes only briefly stayed on Xia Yuebai's body, and then he moved his eyes away, and turned his eyes to the lively hall again.
This feeling of being deliberately ignored hurts her self-esteem, she bit her lip lightly, a tingling pain spread from her lip to her panicked heart, Xia Yuebai sat behind the table calmly.
"My lord, His Royal Highness Alnis is ready, the Nile River Sacrifice will begin immediately." The guard knelt down and reported respectfully.
The moment his smile widened, Tosashita stood up.
The moment the people on the throne got up, the originally noisy and lively hall immediately quieted down, almost in the blink of an eye, except for the sound of the wind pouring in from the French windows in all directions, only people's breaths were left in the air. Voice.
"Everyone, this year's Nile River Festival is finally expected to be presided over by Alnis himself. His arrival will surely make all prayers be answered by God. The new year in Egypt will surely move towards new prosperity under God's protection. "The brown eyes, as sharp as the flames of the desert, with a touch of clean light, coldly look down at the crowd at the foot, whenever they make contact with her half-smiling eyes, people's eyes immediately follow the head in awe Hanging down, even if it's just a short look at each other, they will lower their faces in trepidation the next moment.
"The Nile Ritual, start!" With a wave of his hand, the two rows of guards stationed at the bottom of the steps immediately trotted out of the hall in neat steps.
Bahari then stood up and announced loudly to the crowd. "Please move to the terrace to watch the Nile River Festival, this way please!" He stretched out his hand to point the way with a smile on his face. When people rushed towards the five gates of the main hall, he turned around and bowed to Tusasi Tower, and then walked to follow In the crowd, they talked and laughed side by side with the Assyrian envoy and walked towards the terrace.
Xia Yuebai pulled her long and cumbersome skirt and moved her steps. At her own speed, it would be difficult to grab a good seat in the front row.I suddenly remembered accompanying Ji Hui to the concert of a certain Tiantian group, holding the tickets and almost not being able to squeeze into the venue. At that time, I had to sigh the huge explosive power contained in Ji Hui's petite body, and the so-called Asian No.1 temperament. The powerful appeal of the combination.
"Moon White."
A familiar voice sounded behind him, and before he could turn around, Xia Yuebai already felt the condescending Tusasita's call mixed with a thick smile.
Turning around, looking up at the young queen dressed in white and golden crown beside the throne, she remained silent.
With a warm and shallow smile on her face, which was different from her slightly deep voice when she opened her mouth, she said, "Come here."
After hesitating, he looked at the empty surroundings, and the terrace outside the hall was already crowded with people.
He stretched out his hand to Xia Yuebai with a dazed expression, smiling quietly.
Looking at the beautiful palm stretched towards her, the sun lay quietly and leisurely in her palm, the breeze blew through the slender fingers, and a light blue shadow slipped down, momentarily in a trance, momentarily absent-minded.
"If you don't go out, you're going to miss the show." The voice was not loud, she glanced at the arch behind the throne, and heard the faint voice of priests chanting sutras.
At this time, nothing could move Xia Yuebai's heart more than watching Arnis show his abilities. After a short hesitation, she resolutely picked up the hem of her skirt, walked around the low table in front of her, and went straight to the wave-like white up the steps.
Stepping on the last step, Xia Yuebai let go of her skirt, looked over Tusasita's shoulders to the arch behind her, the huge curved door frame was engraved with delicate and exquisite lotus patterns, two rows of maids with sweet smiles quietly Stand by the door.
Some indistinct voices came from outside the door, with a dull and regular rhythm, fluctuating high and low, coming in from outside.
When passing by Tusasita, Xia Yuebai deliberately ignored the hand that was spreading the invitation in the air, and Xia Yuebai walked towards the arch with her head held high.
Raising his eyebrows, a faint smile reflected in his eyes, a ray of helplessness permeated.Xia Yuebai's arrogant and indifferent attitude did not surprise Tusasita.
Whether it was really busy or just using it as an excuse, she consciously or unconsciously avoided seeing her before the ceremony.However, it's only been two days, she is really a little girl who can hold grudges.
Ever since she learned of Xia Yuebai's true identity from Alnis, Tusasita took the approach of shelving and avoiding her. She had to figure out some things in the shortest possible time.
When she first heard that Xia Yuebai was the reincarnation of the Egyptian goddess Maat, her sudden shock was more or less mixed with a little disappointment. If she was just an ordinary girl who came to her own world by accident, then things would be much simpler.However, she is not.
If you stick to your feelings, you will definitely become an enemy of the great guardian of the dead, Anubis, and fight against God. If you lose the hearts of the people, you will also lose your royal power... How can a king who resists his own god to the end win over his subjects? How can a person who has deviated from the original intention of his belief be blessed by the gods!
However, if she gave up on the person in front of her, Tusasita clearly understood that what she would abandon would be her... heart.
If a person can calmly discard even his own mind after weighing the pros and cons, then how can he talk about following nonsense such as following beliefs and being unswerving until death.
So, she made a decision in two days, a simple decision, a willful decision, enough to change the fate of the future.
Looking at the slender figure who had already stepped out of the arch, the corners of Tusasita's lips slightly raised a casual arc, and the clear eyes reflected the colorful and flickering sunlight. On the dome of the temple, she took a step and walked towards the terrace outside the arch.
★★★★★★★★★
Having lived in the palace for a long time, Xia Yuebai had never entered the Temple of the Sun, but only circled around the palace, which was about the size of three or four football fields. It is really difficult to see the whole picture of the Sun Temple.
Today, the moment she stepped into this magnificent palace for the first time, she was already speechless by the exquisite beauty that could be seen here. She really wanted to meet the person who designed this palace... If in ancient Egypt there was If the designer is a profession, then this great designer full of whimsical ideas must be one of the most powerful creators in ancient and modern China and abroad.
First put aside the high-topped sky supported by huge stone pillars, then put aside the magnificent palace with exquisite layout, and put aside the countless rare treasures, it is just the stretch of land under your feet The polygonal terrace under the sun is like a perfect work of art...
Stepping out of the arch, stepping on the slightly hot ground under your feet, the white skirt brushes over the golden marble, just like a white lotus blooming on the sparkling water surface, elegant, ethereal, a wisp of light fragrance sneaks with the wind.
Xia Yuebai raised her hand to block the hot light pouring down from the top of her head.On a midsummer afternoon, the scorching sun shone directly on his body, and the skin exposed outside his clothes was burning hot.
When I came to the railing and looked around, the polygonal terrace showed a dazzling arrogance. The giant statues standing on both sides held indifferent and arrogant silent eyes, quietly overlooking the square below. The rough lines of the stone statues outlined the The majestic majesty of kingship.
The white railing reflected the dazzling light, and as soon as it was put on, the sun's scorching heat burned the palms of the hands immediately. I took a long breath, feeling that the air I sucked into my lungs was about to burn... The sun, at the edge of the desert The sky above, like a red-hot knife, slashed at the air sharply, evaporating all the moisture, making the heat nowhere to escape.
A shadow shrouded down from the top of the head, just enough to block the overwhelming heat wave behind him... The cyan shadow outlined a familiar feeling in the surrounding air, and a clean smell as light as the morning breeze wafted over. The same feeling of déjà vu.
Looking sideways, he watched an arm stretch out gently behind him, and quietly put it on the railing in front of him, almost fitting seamlessly with his arm hanging beside him.His eyes flickered slightly, and he was stunned for a moment, then moved his eyes away from the wheat-colored arms gleaming with sunlight, and looked at the densely packed figures on the balcony on the next floor, feeling a little depressed for no reason at the bottom of his heart.
The moment Tusahita appeared on the edge of the terrace, the Egyptian officials and foreign envoys on the terrace below, as well as the people who had been waiting for a long time in the square, knelt quietly in the direction of her, like a silent scene under a clear sky. Moving like a sea tide.
The tide of people is respectful and cautious, with a hint of fear and timidity.
Standing here with Tusasita, receiving the worship of everyone, Xia Yuebai suddenly felt at a loss for what to do. His hand gripping the railing tightened quietly, and the temperature under his fingertips had changed from the hot sun to the cold warehouse. Panic, an instant change.
Regretted, why didn't you drag your cumbersome skirts and squeezed together with those people on the lower terrace, and stood with her in the dazzling light that only belonged to Egyptian pharaohs, letting the crowd flicker full of guesses and strange sights Hold on to yourself.
A burst of thunderous drumbeats woke Xia Yuebai up from his annoyed mood, and when he raised his eyes, he almost cried out in shock.All kinds of confusion and annoyance just now were completely forgotten by her when she saw the figure appearing on the altar in the square.
If Tusasita, dressed in white and crowned with gold, swayed a kind of aggressive beauty, the aura of a king who is not angry and majestic can make people daunting without any words.
Then, Arnis, who is also dressed in a white robe and golden staff, shows another kind of feminine and charming beauty, that aloof and cold temperament that can't eat the fireworks in the world, just a smile on his lips can make people intoxicated I don't know.
Staring dumbfounded at Alnis smiling and nodding at them, Xia Yuebai waved at him without any scruples, acting silly, as if she was greeting Ji Hui at the gate of a school that was constantly flowing.
Slightly stunned, he then smiled lightly at Xia Yuebai who was waving to him, a gentle smile that instantly softened the heart, and immediately made the young girl's brows and eyes bright like spring.Withdrawing his gaze and closing his eyes, Arnis stepped onto the altar.
Tusasita smiled without saying a word, staring at the excited Xia Yuebai in front of him, and spoke softly. "Do you know why people admire Alnis so much?"
Shake your head. "have no idea."
"Look, you will have the answer soon." The proud and proud tone, and her voice also became wanton and arrogant.
Frowning, he turned his head to look at the sunny face behind him. The bright and bright light cast a rebellious brilliance on the young queen's deep outline, and he looked away suspiciously, unable to guess the meaning of her words.
The thundering drums stopped abruptly.
Arnis held the golden staff, bowed his head and meditated.
In front of him were two large tanks, not so much tanks, but more like two square stone pools.
The distance between the terrace and the altar was less than [-] meters, and Xia Yuebai saw two different things in the two pools - clear water and yellow sand.
As Arnis slowly raised his head, pointing the golden stick in his hand to the middle of the two pools, suddenly, the originally calm water and sand in the pool suddenly trembled abnormally...
Drops of water jump out, reflecting the arrogant sunlight crystal clear; grains of sand, trembling and rising, rush straight into the air like a thread, and will not disperse in the wind.
Sudden shock and horror, it is impossible to describe the mood at this moment.
Is it a sophisticated magic trick or a clever cover-up, no matter how Alnis did it, everyone's emotions have fallen into unprecedented excitement and uncontrollable awe.
Xia Yuebai half opened her mouth in surprise, a pair of black eyes full of disbelief wandered between Arnis and the weird phenomenon...
Chapter 25
As if summoned by some kind, the sand in the pool clings to each other and climbs up continuously. In the blink of an eye, it hangs like a straight sword directly above the sand pool; at the same time, the water on the other side
"My lord, from this point of view, the battle between us and the Libyans in the oasis not only did not dispel their thoughts, but also moved the remnants of the Syrian army who have been hiding. If their two armies join forces to attack the delta, the situation on the border may be dire." Trouble." Bahari turned his steps and said towards the back of Tusasita.
I just received news from the Sinai Peninsula that unidentified troops have appeared in several Syrian cities very close to the peninsula. Although the number is small, they have been continuously gathering.
Without saying a word, the fingertips rested on the window sill, a pair of icy sharp eyes reflected on the stone surface scorched by the sun, traced the traces of the sun with the fingers, and walked silently and slowly on the edge of the hot window sill.
Hoctimus looked at Bahari, the two exchanged glances, he nodded respectfully, and said: "Your Majesty, I think it is still necessary to deploy the army as soon as possible. Now only the Fourth Army of Kemont is guarding the delta. To deal with the Li-Syrian coalition forces, not to mention that the Fourth Army has just experienced the Oasis War, and the army needs time to adjust and cultivate. If it enters the battlefield immediately, its morale will inevitably be damaged. Although Marie's Third Army is stationed in Sinai and Syria, once the Li-Syrian coalition forces Launch a sudden attack and disperse the third army stationed in Syria. It is difficult to gather all of them to rush to the border in a short time. Even if the army left in Sinai can quickly return to the delta to support Kemont, after all, Sinai only has a quarter of the third army This number is still not enough to resist the Li-Syrian coalition forces." Speaking of this, he cast a glance at Marie, and sent a hinting look calmly.
"My lord, I'm going to the delta. Your army is there. If there is a fight, I, as the commander of the third army, must go to the front with my soldiers." Marie stepped forward eagerly as he spoke. One step, kneel down on one knee.
By the window, the tall figure is bathed in bright light, like a beautiful and exquisite statue.Tusahita stood quietly, still staring out the window, still silent.
After a while, the kneeling Marie couldn't hold his breath. He lowered his head and begged again: "My lord, please let me go to Sinai."
Lifting his chin slightly, he asked unexpectedly. "At the beginning, I asked you to put most of the troops of the Third Army into various cities in Syria. How did you distribute the garrisons?"
I was taken aback for a moment, wondering what she meant by asking this question, and Marie replied truthfully: "Allocate the number of troops according to the size and importance of the city. Larger cities have more troops. The capital city of Syria and several important port cities, The minister dispatched more troops to guard."
Laughing, curling up the corners of his mouth in satisfaction, without sound or interest.Turning his head, he glanced lightly at the person kneeling behind him, and then glanced at the people beside him.Raising his eyebrows lightly, he said calmly, "Get up."
Nodding his head, Marie stood up reluctantly.
On Tusashita's side face hidden in the shadows, there was a completely insolent smile, but it was just a shallow arc at the corner of his lips. "Break down city by city."
Doubt came from the fleeting expressions on several faces.
Turning around, leaning back, crossing his arms around his chest, he looked at his minister leisurely, smiling lightly as if having fun, but his voice gradually sank. "Marie, send an order to your lieutenants to immediately reorganize the army and wipe out the Syrian rebels in the cities under their jurisdiction."
"My lord, let the army wipe out the rebels in the jurisdiction. In this way, the troops will be dispersed. If we encounter rebels who outnumber us, we will be very passive in dealing with them." A general who has experienced hundreds of battles naturally has more combat experience than others.
Waving his hands, he smiled calmly, reflected in his deep eyes. "If they can't even deal with the riots in their own jurisdiction, then don't expect them to be useful in the battlefield." Outside the window, the maid's whispers were heard, mixed with the fragrance of the summer wind, soft Sweet like honey that melts in your mouth. "They must be wiped out before the rebels are assembled, and they must not be allowed to leave Syria alive."
Bahari nodded, with an expression of approval on his mature face, he said respectfully: "The king is right, the rebels must not be allowed to leave Syria. Even if they cannot be wiped out in one fell swoop in Syria, as long as they flee Entering the Sinai Peninsula, there is only a dead end waiting for them."
"No, they must be wiped out inside Syria, and they must not be given the opportunity to escape to the Sinai."
Startled, Hawktimus expressed doubts about Tusasita's order. "King, the Sinai Peninsula still has the Third Legion----"
"Return all Sinai's troops back to the Delta to support Kemont." She looked at Hawktimus' startled face, then turned to Marie and gave the order.
"There is no army in the Sinai Peninsula. If there are Syrian rebels fleeing here, wouldn't there be no one to resist?" Bahari asked anxiously. The Sinai Peninsula on the Mediterranean Sea is Egypt's last line of defense against the Syrians. A land-based island bridge, if left unguarded, would be tantamount to putting the borders of Egypt in great danger.
The moment he straightened his body and took a leisurely step, a breeze soaked in the dense water vapor of the Nile River blew in behind him. The curtain beside the window was circling in the wind. The golden gauze curtain stretched out its golden hand reluctantly like a lover, trying to grab The people who live and leave gradually, but in vain touch the corner of the robe that gradually drifts away with the pace.
"That's why... the rebels can't escape from Syria. Marie, can your Third Army be able to intercept all the Syrian rebels?"
Nodding his head, the voice was full of confidence, with the firmness of vowing to die. "King, they can do it. Even if there is only one soldier left in the end, they will stick to the pass from Syria to the Sinai Peninsula. They will never let a rebel set foot on the land of Sinai."
Laughing, unruly like the unimpeded wind over the desert. "I leave Syria to you, Marie."
Nodding solemnly, it was rare for this arrogant young general to show such a serious expression. "Yes, I will not disappoint the king."
She smiled at him, full of trust.
"Unas, how are you preparing for tomorrow's Nile River Festival and New Year's ceremony?"
Standing aside, Unas, who had never said a word, took a step forward and said: "King, everything is ready, please rest assured."
"Tomorrow's Nile Festival will be presided over by Arnis himself. It's rare that he's back this year, and everything must be arranged in perfect order, you know?" She asked again, she didn't want to disappoint her elder brother who strives for perfection in everything.
"Yes, I understand, please rest assured, the king. I have personally supervised all the links, and there will be no mistakes."
Walking to the soft couch on the left side of the hall, she lay on the couch, and the maid immediately stepped forward and straightened her slightly messy robes, with gentle eyes, affectionate mouth corners, and cautious movements. "Okay, that's all for the border affairs. If there is nothing else, you can step back."
"Yes." Several people bowed and saluted, and retreated respectfully towards the door.
Supporting his forehead with one hand, he took the wine glass handed over by the maid with the other hand, and did not drink it, but shook the glass gently. "Marie, you stay."
Marie took back his steps, bowed his head and waited.
When they all left the room, Tusasita spoke softly, with a calm and indifferent voice. "Marie, send an order to your cronies in the Third Army, let them secretly monitor the Syrian royal family, don't startle the enemy, and don't act rashly. Once the resistance of the Syrian rebels exceeds our control... execute all members of the Syrian royal family, one Do not stay!"
The suddenly changed face was full of horror and doubt, and he hesitated when he opened his mouth. "This...not one left?"
The rim of the golden cup was close to the corner of her slightly raised lips, she smiled. "Not one left."
Throat tightened, breath stuck in the stiff throat, Marie's eyes flickered left and right. "King, killing all the Syrian royal families will cause an uproar in Syria, and the situation will fall into a state of chaos that we cannot predict. At that time, even if we send a large army to suppress it, I am afraid that the riots in Syria will not be able to be controlled."
Still smiling happily, even with a hint of disdainful contempt. "If an army of 10 is not enough to suppress, send 15; if 15 is not enough, send 20; .”
"Yes, I understand." Nodding his head, he couldn't help but recall that year, when he went to Syria with Tusasita, and witnessed the iron-blooded style of the 20-year-old young queen conquering Syria.Compared with her ruthlessness at the time, today's order to execute all the royal family did not surprise him at all.
"Remember, this matter must be kept secret. Except for your cronies, you must not let others know before you do it, including the dignitaries of Thebes, huh?" Eyebrows raised, eyes were deep, and the sun could not reach the deep cold abyss, Hidden is a bloodthirsty golden-spotted beast.
"I understand."
"Also, remove your hand that protects Yuebai." Put the cup on the side of the couch, put your flat palm on the side of your leg, and your nails are as round as jade, reflecting the colorful sunlight projected from the window behind you. .
"Remove?" Frowning, both happy and confused.
Glancing at him, I saw a sense of rejoicing on his expressive face. "I'll send someone else to protect her. You've bothered her a long time ago, so I'll let you go!"
"Wang, minister, minister is not annoying Miss Xia, it's just, just..." He stammered and lowered his head in embarrassment.
Laughing, brown eyes curved slightly. "Okay, no need to explain."
"Yes, I thank the king for your understanding."
"Marie, how long has it been since you went to the battlefield?" Suddenly, the conversation changed and she asked.
"Four years and eight months, I don't remember the number of days."
"Want to go to war?"
"Think!" Thinking crazy, holding back crazy.
"Really?" Pretending not to believe it, deliberately embarrassing him and making fun of him.
"I was born to be a rough man who knows how to fight. The king asked me to send the army to Sinai to guard the border of Egypt, but let me stay in Thebes to enjoy the blessings. I have nothing to do except eat, drink and have fun all day long. I feel sorry for you... Those soldiers stationed at the border." The thick black brows were tied into a knot, which was called the knot of guilt that could not be untied.
His eyes flickered lightly, and suddenly, he realized that he also missed the happy feeling of being in the front line. The bloody and dusty gunpowder smoke poured into the choking breath, and he was caught in the crisis of life hanging by a thread woven by swords, lights and swords. Rich and intoxicating taste...
"Then go."
Surprised, I suspected that there was something wrong with my ears. "What?!"
"Go to Syria and lead your third army to defend for me the territory we took back with countless blood, and to protect the honor of the Egyptian gods for me." Straightened up, looking directly at the face of the young man full of surprises in front of him, one word Said in one sentence.
Suddenly, kneeling down, he bowed deeply to the person on the couch, and then made an oath earnestly. "The king... I swear to defend Syria to the death, and I will never let a Syrian rebel reach the Sinai Peninsula. I swear on my own life, I will not let the king down."
"You never let me down, get up." Smiling and sighing, he sent Marie back to the battlefield, like releasing a wild horse, watching him gallop happily in the vast world, with worries, doubts, and more Reluctant.
"Yes." With endless gratitude, he felt his eyes filled with warm liquid, and he gritted his teeth to force them back into their sockets.
"Let's go after the Nile River Festival is over, and make a quick decision."
"Yes."
"Marie, return to Thebes alive."
"Yes, I will come back alive." Nodding his head, when he looked up at Sasita, he grinned like a big kid who snatched a treasure.
"Okay." Nodding with a slight smile, the scented air around her was filled with a slight sense of parting sorrow. The moment she looked at Marie with her silent smile, the breath of parting was even stronger.
The author has something to say: From last week to today, I went to the hospital for several days in a row, and I really felt two problems.Health is priceless, don't think that you are great because you are young, maybe a certain disease can knock you down at a certain moment.In addition, there are really many people in the hospital, where there are queues, where there are people coming and going, once I go there and I am exhausted, I will almost be in the hospital this week, alas. . . .
After the update, it will not be scheduled at noon, and it will be updated when Qiu is free.
Chapter 24
In the new year, with the fragrance of floods brought by gusts of southerly winds, the annual flooding season of the Nile River begins without fail, and the new year comes on the same day.
The brilliant sunshine in midsummer fills the broad water surface of the Nile River with layers of waves, rippling waves of gold, brilliant gold, just like the mood of people in Thebes city standing on the banks of the Nile River.
The atmosphere in the palace to welcome the new year is very warm, those rouge fragrances fluttering in the wind, Yan Pingting Tingting, almost become the fascinating and charming reverie in this majestic palace.
Recently, the solemn and clean palace has been almost filled with princes, nobles and envoys from all over the world. This huge palace, which occupies one third of the city, suddenly feels cramped.
When guests come from afar, the most exciting thing is the young girls among the Egyptian nobles.As a result, almost overnight, the tall palace walls became a place of beauty and beauty.
Often in the corridor, I am amazed for a moment by the beautiful faces that walk towards me, young, charming, enchanting, pretty... Only then did Xia Yuebai understand why Penny was always asking her to dress up before going out. Su Suyi is really as inconspicuous as a maid.
Strange beautiful faces, strange noble guests, strange New Year customs... In this ancient and strange world, everyone is happy and looking forward to it... except Xia Yuebai.
When she came to this strange time and space, although the season was exactly the same as that in the 21st century, it reminded her of the equally lively and noisy annual Spring Festival in her own country.
The days of family reunion, the lively rhythm of visiting relatives and friends, the winter vacation accompanying Ji Hui to plunge into the crowded shopping malls, the moment when firecrackers are fired at midnight on New Year's Eve, the scene of cats jumping and running away... But now... in ancient Egypt. When the new year came, Xia Yuebai could only guard this ancient and mysterious land, sitting by the window in a desolate manner, holding the dress just sent by the maid in a daze.
Thinking about relatives every festive season, this sentence, probably only those who are in this situation can deeply feel the meaning of it.
Yesterday, which was also the day before the new year, she did not see Tusasita, and she still did not return to Amon Palace until late at night.
She could imagine how busy she was, but she didn't expect that she was so busy that she didn't even have time to sleep... I sympathized with her busy day and night, and sympathized with her life as the queen of Egypt. These seemingly fulfilling and gorgeous days are really extraordinary. can bear.
In the past few days, I have been thinking wildly.
I think about those days when Nanyuan was with me, I think about the inexplicably flustered eyes that refused to give in when I looked at each other, I think about the silent but meticulous care that Tusasita gave her, and the thoughtfulness on the roof of the temple on the West Bank that night Consolation, those undisguised focused eyes, those presumptuous gentle smiles...you will blush and heartbeat just thinking about it.
Then, Xia Yuebai immediately reminded herself that this is very boring, she is feverish about a woman's words and deeds, it's really ridiculous...
Holding the bright jewelry in her hand, Petunia stood by the bronze mirror and greeted her. Xia Yuebai smiled and got up with the dress.
The Nile River Ritual is about to begin, and as the Pharaoh's servant, she also needs to go to participate.In fact, Xia Yuebai didn't have much interest in celebration banquets. After staying here for a long time, the extravagant and extravagant banquets were staged in this resplendent and resplendent palace almost every now and then, and she was already tired of it.
What really made her look forward to was that Arnis displayed in front of everyone the magical power close to God that only belonged to the Egyptian high priest.
It is said that if you can see the demeanor of this servant of God with your own eyes, your life will be worth it. Xia Yuebai is full of longing and curiosity, and wants to see his proud appearance when he performs miracles.
Letting Penny dress herself up, watching a clear but not quite like her face gradually reflected in the bronze mirror, Xia Yuebai looked at the person in the mirror with some surprise... Eye sockets drawn by black eyeliner, red Lips stained with nectar, a headdress with a row of small golden beads dangling on the forehead, a golden and blue two-color braided rope ornament passing through the hair, a glittering gemstone necklace scattered from the neck to the shoulder, and a fan-shaped gold pectoral , indescribably luxurious and eye-catching... Ignoring the heavy gold jewels that made it difficult to move, and the overly long skirt of the floor-falling dress, Xia Yuebai lost her mind for a while looking at the delicate face in the mirror, never expecting, There is still such a side of myself.
Then, she also wanted to know the price of her outfit in the modern world.
There was a reminder from the maid outside the door that the sacrifice was about to begin, and she was asked to leave immediately and go to the main hall to watch the ceremony.
Inhaling deeply, exhaling long, looking at the floor-to-ceiling brass mirror again, his gaze swept over the person in the mirror, he smiled lightly, and walked out of the room with his skirt lifted.
★★★★★★★★★
A huge gold-encircled monster located right in front of the entire palace is the main hall of Thebes Palace, which is only used for major celebrations or when receiving kings from other countries -- the Temple of the Sun.
Since the No.11 Dynasty established its capital in Thebes, the annual New Year ceremony is held here.
Stepping nervously but pretending to be calm, Xia Yuebai stepped into the hall, and the moment she raised her eyes, her eyes were effortlessly attracted by the snow-white steps directly in front of the hall... Her vision spread upward like clouds in the distance Going up the white steps, on the top of dozens of alabaster steps, the shining golden throne is extremely eye-catching.
Clean white and pure gold, two extremely pure colors, intertwined to set off the huge golden throne.
His eyes flickered, because the person on the throne was obviously familiar but suddenly felt strange.
For a brief moment, she felt as if she saw a god... high above, dazzling and unobtrusive, and out of reach.
The young king on the throne also noticed the figure by the door, and gave her a condescending smile, that smile was indescribably indifferent, neither light nor heavy, and dispensable.
It was the same as his attitude towards her these days, indifferent and casual.
Suddenly, Xia Yuebai had an urge to turn around and leave.
Controlling the steps under his feet, he continued to move forward, approaching the center of the main hall step by step, and looking over the past, most of the shadowy crowds were unfamiliar faces. Nobles and high-ranking officials were sitting around, and there were many foreign envoys among them.At a glance, at least several hundred people gathered in the tall and spacious Sun Temple.
His eyes wandered around, and finally saw a few faces he knew.
With a charming and handsome smile, Unas winked at her mischievously a few times. Just as Xia Yuebai passed by his desk, he whistled lightly, a very low whistle, and was immediately caught by the crowd. Xia Yuebai could still hear the lively conversations surrounding her.
Not going to pay attention to his frivolous actions like a street rogue, Xia Yuebai raised her eyebrows at him, raised her chin slightly, and walked towards her seat with a haughty expression like a proud peacock.
Her seat is about five or six meters below the steps of the throne, counting the dozens of steps, there is at least a distance of more than twenty meters between her and her.
The distance is worlds apart, one is an emperor who holds the lifeblood of Egypt in his hands, and the other is an ordinary person who can't even control his own destiny... It's ridiculous that the distance that can be measured by the naked eye hides that two people can't get closer in a lifetime difference.
Suddenly, I was saddened by my insignificance.
Facing the direction of the throne, she nodded slightly. On such an occasion, Xia Yuebai didn't want to be treated as a wild girl who didn't understand the rules.
Tusasita didn't say anything, his eyes only briefly stayed on Xia Yuebai's body, and then he moved his eyes away, and turned his eyes to the lively hall again.
This feeling of being deliberately ignored hurts her self-esteem, she bit her lip lightly, a tingling pain spread from her lip to her panicked heart, Xia Yuebai sat behind the table calmly.
"My lord, His Royal Highness Alnis is ready, the Nile River Sacrifice will begin immediately." The guard knelt down and reported respectfully.
The moment his smile widened, Tosashita stood up.
The moment the people on the throne got up, the originally noisy and lively hall immediately quieted down, almost in the blink of an eye, except for the sound of the wind pouring in from the French windows in all directions, only people's breaths were left in the air. Voice.
"Everyone, this year's Nile River Festival is finally expected to be presided over by Alnis himself. His arrival will surely make all prayers be answered by God. The new year in Egypt will surely move towards new prosperity under God's protection. "The brown eyes, as sharp as the flames of the desert, with a touch of clean light, coldly look down at the crowd at the foot, whenever they make contact with her half-smiling eyes, people's eyes immediately follow the head in awe Hanging down, even if it's just a short look at each other, they will lower their faces in trepidation the next moment.
"The Nile Ritual, start!" With a wave of his hand, the two rows of guards stationed at the bottom of the steps immediately trotted out of the hall in neat steps.
Bahari then stood up and announced loudly to the crowd. "Please move to the terrace to watch the Nile River Festival, this way please!" He stretched out his hand to point the way with a smile on his face. When people rushed towards the five gates of the main hall, he turned around and bowed to Tusasi Tower, and then walked to follow In the crowd, they talked and laughed side by side with the Assyrian envoy and walked towards the terrace.
Xia Yuebai pulled her long and cumbersome skirt and moved her steps. At her own speed, it would be difficult to grab a good seat in the front row.I suddenly remembered accompanying Ji Hui to the concert of a certain Tiantian group, holding the tickets and almost not being able to squeeze into the venue. At that time, I had to sigh the huge explosive power contained in Ji Hui's petite body, and the so-called Asian No.1 temperament. The powerful appeal of the combination.
"Moon White."
A familiar voice sounded behind him, and before he could turn around, Xia Yuebai already felt the condescending Tusasita's call mixed with a thick smile.
Turning around, looking up at the young queen dressed in white and golden crown beside the throne, she remained silent.
With a warm and shallow smile on her face, which was different from her slightly deep voice when she opened her mouth, she said, "Come here."
After hesitating, he looked at the empty surroundings, and the terrace outside the hall was already crowded with people.
He stretched out his hand to Xia Yuebai with a dazed expression, smiling quietly.
Looking at the beautiful palm stretched towards her, the sun lay quietly and leisurely in her palm, the breeze blew through the slender fingers, and a light blue shadow slipped down, momentarily in a trance, momentarily absent-minded.
"If you don't go out, you're going to miss the show." The voice was not loud, she glanced at the arch behind the throne, and heard the faint voice of priests chanting sutras.
At this time, nothing could move Xia Yuebai's heart more than watching Arnis show his abilities. After a short hesitation, she resolutely picked up the hem of her skirt, walked around the low table in front of her, and went straight to the wave-like white up the steps.
Stepping on the last step, Xia Yuebai let go of her skirt, looked over Tusasita's shoulders to the arch behind her, the huge curved door frame was engraved with delicate and exquisite lotus patterns, two rows of maids with sweet smiles quietly Stand by the door.
Some indistinct voices came from outside the door, with a dull and regular rhythm, fluctuating high and low, coming in from outside.
When passing by Tusasita, Xia Yuebai deliberately ignored the hand that was spreading the invitation in the air, and Xia Yuebai walked towards the arch with her head held high.
Raising his eyebrows, a faint smile reflected in his eyes, a ray of helplessness permeated.Xia Yuebai's arrogant and indifferent attitude did not surprise Tusasita.
Whether it was really busy or just using it as an excuse, she consciously or unconsciously avoided seeing her before the ceremony.However, it's only been two days, she is really a little girl who can hold grudges.
Ever since she learned of Xia Yuebai's true identity from Alnis, Tusasita took the approach of shelving and avoiding her. She had to figure out some things in the shortest possible time.
When she first heard that Xia Yuebai was the reincarnation of the Egyptian goddess Maat, her sudden shock was more or less mixed with a little disappointment. If she was just an ordinary girl who came to her own world by accident, then things would be much simpler.However, she is not.
If you stick to your feelings, you will definitely become an enemy of the great guardian of the dead, Anubis, and fight against God. If you lose the hearts of the people, you will also lose your royal power... How can a king who resists his own god to the end win over his subjects? How can a person who has deviated from the original intention of his belief be blessed by the gods!
However, if she gave up on the person in front of her, Tusasita clearly understood that what she would abandon would be her... heart.
If a person can calmly discard even his own mind after weighing the pros and cons, then how can he talk about following nonsense such as following beliefs and being unswerving until death.
So, she made a decision in two days, a simple decision, a willful decision, enough to change the fate of the future.
Looking at the slender figure who had already stepped out of the arch, the corners of Tusasita's lips slightly raised a casual arc, and the clear eyes reflected the colorful and flickering sunlight. On the dome of the temple, she took a step and walked towards the terrace outside the arch.
★★★★★★★★★
Having lived in the palace for a long time, Xia Yuebai had never entered the Temple of the Sun, but only circled around the palace, which was about the size of three or four football fields. It is really difficult to see the whole picture of the Sun Temple.
Today, the moment she stepped into this magnificent palace for the first time, she was already speechless by the exquisite beauty that could be seen here. She really wanted to meet the person who designed this palace... If in ancient Egypt there was If the designer is a profession, then this great designer full of whimsical ideas must be one of the most powerful creators in ancient and modern China and abroad.
First put aside the high-topped sky supported by huge stone pillars, then put aside the magnificent palace with exquisite layout, and put aside the countless rare treasures, it is just the stretch of land under your feet The polygonal terrace under the sun is like a perfect work of art...
Stepping out of the arch, stepping on the slightly hot ground under your feet, the white skirt brushes over the golden marble, just like a white lotus blooming on the sparkling water surface, elegant, ethereal, a wisp of light fragrance sneaks with the wind.
Xia Yuebai raised her hand to block the hot light pouring down from the top of her head.On a midsummer afternoon, the scorching sun shone directly on his body, and the skin exposed outside his clothes was burning hot.
When I came to the railing and looked around, the polygonal terrace showed a dazzling arrogance. The giant statues standing on both sides held indifferent and arrogant silent eyes, quietly overlooking the square below. The rough lines of the stone statues outlined the The majestic majesty of kingship.
The white railing reflected the dazzling light, and as soon as it was put on, the sun's scorching heat burned the palms of the hands immediately. I took a long breath, feeling that the air I sucked into my lungs was about to burn... The sun, at the edge of the desert The sky above, like a red-hot knife, slashed at the air sharply, evaporating all the moisture, making the heat nowhere to escape.
A shadow shrouded down from the top of the head, just enough to block the overwhelming heat wave behind him... The cyan shadow outlined a familiar feeling in the surrounding air, and a clean smell as light as the morning breeze wafted over. The same feeling of déjà vu.
Looking sideways, he watched an arm stretch out gently behind him, and quietly put it on the railing in front of him, almost fitting seamlessly with his arm hanging beside him.His eyes flickered slightly, and he was stunned for a moment, then moved his eyes away from the wheat-colored arms gleaming with sunlight, and looked at the densely packed figures on the balcony on the next floor, feeling a little depressed for no reason at the bottom of his heart.
The moment Tusahita appeared on the edge of the terrace, the Egyptian officials and foreign envoys on the terrace below, as well as the people who had been waiting for a long time in the square, knelt quietly in the direction of her, like a silent scene under a clear sky. Moving like a sea tide.
The tide of people is respectful and cautious, with a hint of fear and timidity.
Standing here with Tusasita, receiving the worship of everyone, Xia Yuebai suddenly felt at a loss for what to do. His hand gripping the railing tightened quietly, and the temperature under his fingertips had changed from the hot sun to the cold warehouse. Panic, an instant change.
Regretted, why didn't you drag your cumbersome skirts and squeezed together with those people on the lower terrace, and stood with her in the dazzling light that only belonged to Egyptian pharaohs, letting the crowd flicker full of guesses and strange sights Hold on to yourself.
A burst of thunderous drumbeats woke Xia Yuebai up from his annoyed mood, and when he raised his eyes, he almost cried out in shock.All kinds of confusion and annoyance just now were completely forgotten by her when she saw the figure appearing on the altar in the square.
If Tusasita, dressed in white and crowned with gold, swayed a kind of aggressive beauty, the aura of a king who is not angry and majestic can make people daunting without any words.
Then, Arnis, who is also dressed in a white robe and golden staff, shows another kind of feminine and charming beauty, that aloof and cold temperament that can't eat the fireworks in the world, just a smile on his lips can make people intoxicated I don't know.
Staring dumbfounded at Alnis smiling and nodding at them, Xia Yuebai waved at him without any scruples, acting silly, as if she was greeting Ji Hui at the gate of a school that was constantly flowing.
Slightly stunned, he then smiled lightly at Xia Yuebai who was waving to him, a gentle smile that instantly softened the heart, and immediately made the young girl's brows and eyes bright like spring.Withdrawing his gaze and closing his eyes, Arnis stepped onto the altar.
Tusasita smiled without saying a word, staring at the excited Xia Yuebai in front of him, and spoke softly. "Do you know why people admire Alnis so much?"
Shake your head. "have no idea."
"Look, you will have the answer soon." The proud and proud tone, and her voice also became wanton and arrogant.
Frowning, he turned his head to look at the sunny face behind him. The bright and bright light cast a rebellious brilliance on the young queen's deep outline, and he looked away suspiciously, unable to guess the meaning of her words.
The thundering drums stopped abruptly.
Arnis held the golden staff, bowed his head and meditated.
In front of him were two large tanks, not so much tanks, but more like two square stone pools.
The distance between the terrace and the altar was less than [-] meters, and Xia Yuebai saw two different things in the two pools - clear water and yellow sand.
As Arnis slowly raised his head, pointing the golden stick in his hand to the middle of the two pools, suddenly, the originally calm water and sand in the pool suddenly trembled abnormally...
Drops of water jump out, reflecting the arrogant sunlight crystal clear; grains of sand, trembling and rising, rush straight into the air like a thread, and will not disperse in the wind.
Sudden shock and horror, it is impossible to describe the mood at this moment.
Is it a sophisticated magic trick or a clever cover-up, no matter how Alnis did it, everyone's emotions have fallen into unprecedented excitement and uncontrollable awe.
Xia Yuebai half opened her mouth in surprise, a pair of black eyes full of disbelief wandered between Arnis and the weird phenomenon...
Chapter 25
As if summoned by some kind, the sand in the pool clings to each other and climbs up continuously. In the blink of an eye, it hangs like a straight sword directly above the sand pool; at the same time, the water on the other side
