Moon Wake Heyang

mood, silent.

After a while, Xia Yuebai went to the desk and sat down gently, his eyes swept over the two pieces of papyrus with clear textures on the table, his hazy black eyes blurred the vertical and horizontal order of plant textures.A moment later, the moment she raised her head, she smiled calmly, her sad eyes faded, and the light shone like fireworks.

"After copying this, will you teach me how to recognize Egyptian?"

Raising his eyebrows lightly, Tusasita reached out and grabbed a thick scroll and walked towards the soft couch by the window, without answering Xia Yuebai's words.

Sighing, he turned his eyes back to the densely packed paper filled with ancient Egyptian characters, and took out a reed pen wrapped in a golden shell from the pen holder. The delicate carvings covered the slender pen barrel, and it was just an ordinary writing tool. It can be called a perfect handicraft.

Stained with a little black liquid extracted from plants in a gold dish, Xia Yuebai looked blankly at the first line of words on the paper... The test should start from the right or from the left, confused.

"From left to right." Suddenly, a faint voice came with the wind.

Embarrassed by being seen through his mind all of a sudden, he raised his eyes in astonishment, and looked at the person on the couch by the window, his black eyes flashed with trance surprise.

Dressed in clean and simple white clothes, Tusasita leaned on the couch in front of the window, the breeze entangled her flying black hair, she lowered her head and focused on the content of the scroll, she couldn't see her eyes, but she could see it from the soft lips. Distinguish the arc of a line of clouds rolling and relaxing.The sky outside the window is beautiful, from light to deep blue, white and blue, mixed with a few clouds, so clean that there are no other colors.

She is also very beautiful, under such a beautiful sky, the beauty is clean and pure.

In the ear, some voices sounded silently.

"Tusahita, the third pharaoh of the No.12 dynasty and the first queen of Egypt."

"In the early days of his reign, he wiped out the alien party and quelled the civil strife in Egypt. In the second year, he launched a war against Syria. As the first queen in the history of Egypt..."

"During the ten years of his reign, there have been several small-scale civil wars in the country..."

"In the golden coffin in the Valley of the Kings, there is only one that she wore during her lifetime..."

Those materials, cold and colorless descriptions, completely summed up her life as a king with just a few strokes.

"The records about the reign of Tusa Sita stopped at XXXX years before the public. According to the year at that time, it can be judged that she was less than 30 years old when she died."

under 30 years old...

At the most splendid and exuberant time of her life, she withered abruptly, like a lotus flower swaying in the wind by the Nile River, and finished her life with her lofty and aloof attitude.

There was a sudden dull pain in my heart, for no reason.

Slowly looking away, the corners of his eyes felt a little swollen, maybe he stared at the window for too long, and his eyes were stung by the bright clear sky.

but……

Why is it that even the breathing is inaudible, and the pain is so slight that it cannot be ignored.

A carriage was parked in front of an unknown alley in Thebes. The city was very quiet in the middle of the night. There were no lights, no human voices, except for the night wind whimpering softly in the criss-crossing streets. This huge capital was completely trapped. fell asleep.

The coachman put down the reins, went to the side of the car and opened the door, and a man in a black cloak got out, the hood was pulled down so low that it completely covered the man's face, he said something to the coachman, and the coachman nodded.

Wrapped tightly in a black cloak, he walked towards the alley.

He quickly turned several corners and walked in the labyrinthine alley without stopping at all.

An ordinary small door creaked strangely under the strong push of the night wind. The black cloak approached the door and tapped lightly a few times in a very rhythmic manner.

After a while, the door opened with a whimper, and a head poked out from inside, looking towards the black cloak. The person inside the cloak whispered a few words, the head inside the door shrank back, and the cloak floated into the door like a gust of wind.

"Didn't I say that we don't want to see each other if there is something urgent?" A low voice came from the shadow by the window. The light in the room was very dark, and a small oil lamp could barely support a small piece of light, and the silhouette by the window could be vaguely seen by the firelight. It's a man.

"Of course I came to see you on urgent matters. Do you think I took the risk to meet you just for fun?"

"Is Tusashita up to something again?"

"Not recently, she is already worried about the Libyan affairs, otherwise she would not agree to Babylon's joint cigarette request." The man in the cloak stood by the table without pulling down his hood. "She has a new servant recently, and that girl is very favored. I checked privately, and she said that she is from Crete. I don't think she is like the people there. I want you to find out about her."

"New servant?" Coldly, his face hidden in the shadows was full of contempt that no one could see. "I'm not interested in Tusahita's perverted preferences."

"What if I say that she may be the person your master is looking for?"

The shadow by the window suddenly became quiet, as if there was nothing there except for the occasional hot night wind blowing from outside the window.

There was a brief silence, accompanied by the sharp sound of metal rubbing, heavy footsteps brought out a piece of black robe corners, and an unusually tall man in light armor walked leisurely into the lights.

"You'd better be sure of this, I don't want to waste time." He supported the table, leaning forward slowly, a pair of black eyes staring at the face of the black cloak as keenly as an eagle, and his tall figure made him feel relaxed Across the table, the rough face almost touched the brim of the cloak.

"Find out her details." As soon as the words finished, the black cloak turned around neatly. The moment the door opened, the heavy cloak was blown by the turbulent night wind, revealing a pair of soft-soled shoes made of gold rope underneath.

The tall man straightened up, snorted coldly with the corners of his mouth curled up, and waved.

One person stepped forward, he whispered something, his subordinates nodded, and left quickly.

Looking at the small ink dots on the paper, Xia Yuebai let out a despondent cry, which attracted the attention of Petunia who was knitting a blanket beside her.

"Did you write it wrong again?"

"Yeah, it's so hard, it's so hard, more or less, how can there be such a difficult word in the world!" Tusasita ordered her to copy some documents, and she concentrated on copying, but the result of one night's grade was the ground. There is a pile of waste paper that only copied a few lines or half a page.

Her hands were numb, she finally finished writing this page, unexpectedly, her clumsy hands shook, and when she was about to finish, she was completely ruined by small black spots on the paper, which completely ruined her plan to go to bed.

"King." The maid outside the door knelt down.

Slightly stunned, it's so late, why is she here?

Put down the pen, just got up and saw a few strands of Feichang's black hair jumping into the door ahead of the figure, the hair strands carried with the air current the fragrance of some flowers in the courtyard that only bloom at night, very strong and coquettish fragrance, with a hint of Charm.

Walking to the table, she glanced at the table, a slight surprise flashed across her eyes, even though her voice still couldn't hear any emotion. "You just copied these in one night?"

"I tried my best. If it weren't for this little point, I would have finished copying this page."

Following her fingers, she found a bright little black dot lying at the foot of a word, which contrasted Xia Yuebai's frowning expression very interestingly. "It doesn't matter if you write one more point, I may lose a general guarding the border tomorrow."

"So serious?" Surprised, a small spot has such a big effect.

"It says on this page that Kemont needs to strengthen the fortifications on the border of the delta. If the Libyans appear near the border, he must report immediately and prepare for battle." Stretching out his finger, he tapped the paper and said: "You see, this extra point turns 'going out' into 'suicide'."

"I'll rewrite a new one right away." The difference of one word, the meaning of a hundred and eight thousand miles, a life was obliterated by this small black dot.A general who had experienced hundreds of battles and never died by the enemy's knife, unexpectedly died by her writing, Xia Yuebai broke out in a cold sweat in shock.

"I'm writing tomorrow, wear windproof clothes, and we're going out of the palace."

"...Leaving the palace, it's so late."

"Are you afraid?"

"I'm afraid you're not safe, you're a Pharaoh, safety comes first."

"Find her a dress." When she turned around, she said to Penny who was kneeling at her feet, and then, under Xia Yuebai's unwilling eyes, she spoke leisurely and walked away with the same leisurely pace as when she came go out. "I'll wait for you outside, don't dawdle."

Reluctantly, he curled his lips.

She would rather sit at the table and copy the words from heaven than run outside the palace in the middle of the night. The memory of being robbed in the city is like a wake-up call. Whenever someone mentions the word "leave the palace", this big clock It will ring in an instant, and the ear-piercing alarm bell reminds Xia Yuebai...

The outside world is wonderful, and the danger is even more exciting.

The author has something to say: I ran last night and saw something very funny, ouch, college students are so invincible! !

Chapter 15

Walking out of the Amon Palace, what came into view was Tusasita sitting on the horse, and behind her were more than a dozen strong cavalry led by Marie.

Xia Yuebai glanced around, but did not see the carriage, the last time she went out of the palace was a simple small carriage.

"Come here." Looking at Xia Yuebai who was looking around at the door, Tusa Sita spoke impatiently.

Walking down the steps, looking up at the tall and slender figure on the horseback, a slight dizziness appeared in front of her eyes... the young king in a white cloak, the jet-black hair flying in all directions was entangled with the movement of her stretching out her arms towards her. With the arm exposed outside the cloak, the satin-like jet-black long hair swept across the slightly shiny wheat-colored skin in the night, exuding an extremely luxurious charm.

Dazed, Xia Yuebai stood in the strong night wind of the surrounding night fire, without moving a muscle.

"Want me to come down and help you?" When she said this, she raised her eyebrows lightly, with a mocking look.

From Tusa Sita's narrow lips, Xia Yuebai knew that she would not come down to help her.

Brushing the flying hair around his face, he smiled awkwardly. "I can't ride a horse."

"I can."

"I mean... can I take a car?" She likes small animals, dogs and cats that are as soft as fur balls, and she can't put them down.However, Xia Yuebai felt uncertain when looking at this big guy whose back was almost as high as the top of his head.

"No."

"I……"

The tone of impatience is too obvious. "Everyone is waiting for you, Yuebai."

Looking around, he saw a trace of arrogant contempt in Marie's eyes, which was almost the same as the mocking eyes of the young riders around him.Biting her upper lip lightly, holding out her hand with a look of resignation.

There was a trace of warmth and coolness in the palms touched by her fingers, which was different from the palms she remembered mercilessly strangling her throat. The coldness that pierced through the skin like ice thorns and reached her heart in an instant was gone.

Like water and moonlight, flowing on the clear and deep palm lines, exuding a faint silver luster, slightly cool and refreshing.

Two hands folded, one to hold the moonlight, the other to catch the evening wind.

Suddenly, I felt the strength of Tusasita tightening his five fingers instantly from the back of his hand. The moment his feet left the ground, his body landed firmly on the saddle, and a moderate body temperature came from his back, dyed by the summer night wind. The wisp of heat makes breathing quietly chaotic.

"I won't let you fall." She lowered her face, with the corner of her mouth close to her ear, and a few strands of black hair flying away in the wind reflected in her slightly curved eyes.

Startled, her heart skipped half a beat, not because of her words, but the tone of her voice when she said it, this kind of whisper that seemed to be promised, but she said it in such a light and casual tone, it still makes people feel inexplicable flustered.

Frowning to herself, Xia Yuebai sank into the chaos of her thoughts, until a powerful low heck sounded above her head, and in an instant, the horse under her raised her hooves and rushed into the dark night...

The evening wind facing you is no longer gentle and charming as it blows the water silently in the courtyard, but the turbulent gust of wind is simply a roaring and roaring sea wave. Xia Yuebai couldn't tell where the pain was coming from.

"Slow----cough cough...cough..." The wind was too strong, and she filled her mouth with one mouthful, causing her to cough repeatedly.

"Shut up." With a flick of his wrist, the long whip drew a graceful arc in mid-air, and the horse galloped along the spacious avenue of the palace without any intention of slowing down.

With enough speed to break the wind, the scenery on both sides blurred into an undulating shadow, which disappeared in the corner of his eyes like lightning and flint. Xia Yuebai stared at the brightly lit road ahead in horror, and the road was illuminated by rows of huge fires. Bright, bright and hot.

Stretching his back stiffly, his body tensed up involuntarily, and what was even tighter than his body was Xia Yuebai's fragile nerves that were about to rupture in such crazy running.

Holding the pommel tightly with both hands, the golden ornament, which is only a dozen centimeters, is now the only thing that can save her life. She believes that if she lets go, at the current speed of lightning, she will directly fall to her death.

Who said just now, she won't let her fall... What a lie!big liar!

If it wasn't for the turbulent wind that blocked his mouth, Xia Yuebai really wanted to yell at the lunatic behind him who was completely immersed in the joy of galloping.

The black eyes, after slightly adapting to the turbulent and swaying light and shadow, finally focused their sight on a place farther away ----- suddenly, their eyes tightened.

Breathing, at the moment when the heart was beating wildly, it stopped suddenly.

In front is a section of steps going down. Xia Yuebai has been here before. Below the more than ten steps is the palace square. After passing the square, you can see the gate of the palace.

"Picture—cough..." If you don't care, you will be choked by the wind, which is better than falling to your death.

It was very quiet behind him, as if there was no one there, and the night wind that passed between the two of them had already taken away Tusasita's body temperature, so that the hot summer night wind slapped his back coldly.

The horseshoes did not stop, and the wind became louder.

Suddenly, with an arm across his waist, he was dazed.

The stiff body was brought into the embrace at the back, with gentle force, like the body temperature of the skin behind the clothes seeping into the skin, faintly, even slightly cold.

Leaning against the cool but solid body behind her, she couldn't help clinging to Tusasita. The warm breath she sprayed on her cold cheeks was very light and steady.

Xia Yuebai can completely imagine that Tusasita's beautiful lips are raising an arrogant and frivolous arc at this moment, carrying an undisguised arrogance like the sun.

The sound of steady breathing lightly brushing the pinnae, entangled with the sound of the biting wind crashed into the eardrums of severe beeping, stimulating the nerves to tense again, and sliding towards the zero point of extreme fear.

The stairs are close at hand, extended by the surrounding firelight in the night wind, as if there is no end.

Closing his eyes in fear, he felt his whole body being thrown into the air, the feeling of weightlessness was mixed with the sound of howling wind, the blood lost the guidance of gravity, flowed against the limbs like surging sea water, and his stomach churned violently.

The body fell heavily, and the strong concussion caused a convulsive cramping pain in the stomach.

Opening her eyes suddenly, she was still on the horse, and the horse was still running at a flying speed...

He lowered his head, the arm around his waist was still there, and the beautiful and long gold bracelet vaguely reflected his eyes that were still in shock.

Suddenly, there was an extra line of sight on the bracelet, through her wind-torn hair, silently watching the black eyes reflected on the pure gold surface.

Eyes flickered slightly, Xia Yuebai looked at the pair of brown eyes soaked in the night projected on the surface of the bracelet, and said nothing.

Just for a moment, the pair of deep eyes that traced the long and narrow eyeliner disappeared. At the same time, the arms around the waist relaxed, but they did not move away.

The two heavy gates of the palace had already been opened, and rows of guards holding spears knelt together, their heads lowered.

Without slowing down at all, Tusasita rushed out of the palace gate first, followed by Marie and a group of cavalry.

Thebes at night is completely different from the one seen during the day.

The deserted streets, I don't know if it's because of the pharaoh's travel and martial law, or people have already gone home to rest.In short, the prosperous and lively scene that day seemed to dissipate under the dark night.

Silent, but not completely silent.The wind swirling in the night sky beat the surrounding buildings, making various creaking sounds, echoing the sound of galloping horses' hooves, resounding throughout the huge silent capital.

I don't know how long they will have to ride, Xia Yuebai can only sit on the horse resignedly, constantly adjusting her disordered breathing, and enduring the increasingly severe pain from her limbs.

Riding a horse for the first time was not a good experience.

"King, ahead." Marie called loudly.

Squinting his eyes slightly, Tusasita raised his chin and remained silent.

Fighting against the strong wind and looking forward, a huge black shadow lay in the distance. With the help of continuous torches, Xia Yuebai saw a golden city gate that was illuminated by the fire.

Several guards beside the city gate turned the big winch vigorously, and the heavy rope was twisted up little by little along with the wheel. Even though they were so far away, they could still hear the rumbling sound of the heavy city gate as the mechanism opened.

The closed golden city gate slowly opened amidst the approaching sound of horseshoes.

When Tusasita rode his horse straight out of the city gate, the people inside the city gate knelt down and saluted in unison, shouting "King" respectfully.

It turned out that they were going out of the city, some surprises, more surprises.

This majestic ancient empire gave birth to a magnificent ancient civilization, and its highly developed civilization directly affected the development of human society.

Rising from the barren gravel and multiplying along the Nile River, ancient Egypt in its heyday established a powerful empire spanning Europe, Asia and Africa.

Glorious for thousands of years, brilliant for dozens of centuries, such an amazing country is like a child spoiled by the gods, wantonly squandering the infinite creativity bestowed by the gods.

Xia Yue wished for nothing to see the scenery beyond Thebes with her own eyes.

Out of the city, there are still bonfires on both sides of the road for lighting, but the distance between the fires is relatively sparse compared to the city.The road surface also changed from flat boulders to gravel mixed with sand and sand. The soft ground reduced the bumps, and the sound of horseshoes stepping on the ground also changed from crisp and loud before to blurred and dull.

Following the continuation of the light from the bonfire, the front is a thick black like ink, and it is impossible to tell which is the sky and which is the earth.

Vaguely, in this chaotic night, there came a sound that seemed familiar, like thunder and drums, dull, powerful, and thick.

As the horseshoes galloped forward, the peculiar roar gradually became clear...the sound of rushing water, the explosive power of a thousand miles, the majestic and vast momentum...

Tightening the reins with one hand, the horse neighed, and the galloping pace stopped abruptly.

The wind stopped before his eyes... Breathing, his amazed gaze was fixed on Xia Yuebai's slightly parted lips.

Is this... the Nile River?

I haven't been to modern Egypt, so I haven't seen this world-renowned longest river. Presumably, the modern Nile River, after undergoing a series of geological changes and artificial transformation, should have some differences from the ancient river in front of me. .

It is this river that gave birth to a splendid and ancient civilization; it is this river that brought life to the barren desert; similarly, it is this river that gave history a romantic and gentle imprint.

The waves, flying and rolling up the bright moonlight, are like a mirror crushed by a moonlit night.The river, which merged into the night, was nearly pitch-black in color, galloping and chasing towards the north.

In the night sky, the vast and brilliant star river quietly falls into the embrace of the Nile River, and its flickering beauty is so unreal.

Standing in a daze, he didn't realize that Tusasita had gotten off his horse, stood beside the horse, and looked at him with a strange smile.

"Come down."

"Huh?" In a daze, he looked sideways at a slow pace, looked at her hand stretched out towards him, realized his embarrassment, and blushed.

Shaking his head, he chuckled, because of Xia Yuebai's dazed look staring at the river, and her shyness that was more interesting than embarrassment.

Supporting Tusasita's hand, he slid off the horse's back in a slightly embarrassed posture. Just as his toes landed, he immediately sank into the fine sand. The sand that had been baked by the sun for a day still retained a warm temperature after sunset.

"It's so beautiful, even more beautiful than I imagined." Admired, the sound of the waves covered her voice, but it couldn't hide the astonishment on her face.

"Egypt's mother river is of course incomparable." The pride is beyond words.Take a step and walk towards the river.

Keeping up with Tusasita, he glanced at Marie and the guards, who led the horses and walked behind them, keeping a proper distance.

"I heard them say that when the river upstream began to flood, it was the Egyptian New Year." In modern times, raging and flooding rivers have always been a nightmare for cities along rivers.In ancient Egypt, the flooding of the Nile River was a day of national celebration, and it was designated as the beginning of a new year. This wisdom of using natural resources and devout belief in gods made the ancient Egyptians unique. custom.

Looking sideways, looking at the torrential river, there are another layer of silver waves in the bottom of the eyes. "Soon, it won't take more than fifteen days at most."

"Everyone in the palace is preparing for the New Year. I see that Petunia and the others are busy going in and out every day, and I doze off by myself."

"Do you want to help?" Glancing at her, the river breeze blew past her, and the air was filled with a refreshing and clean smell.

Nod, sigh. "Well, but I don't know much about the rules of preparing for the New Year here, and I'm afraid of causing trouble for them."

"That's right, you're clumsy, so don't make trouble for others."

"I——Because there are too many rules here. There are rules for eating, rules for walking, and rules for speaking. I almost have no rules." When I was young, the family always went shopping for the New Year together. , The New Year seems to have lost the meaning of reunion.

Looking sideways, on the abnormally fair face under the moonlight, a faint trace of sadness flashed past, frowned, and looked away. "Are there no rules in your country?"

"Of course, our rules are called laws. If you break the law, you will be punished by the corresponding law." Grasping the neckline of the cloak tightly, the river wind got into the cloak and blew it into the air. The loose cloak was struggling to get out of the body, Radu couldn't hold back.

"That's fine. Our rules, just like your laws, are designed to restrain people's behavior." Glancing at the person beside him who was frantically fighting with the cloak in vain, he couldn't stand it any longer. Tusasita untied the cloak Throw the gold rope around your wrist. "Tie it on."

A ball of gold fell in his hand, the delicate long rope braided with gold and blue double threads, still carrying the body temperature of its owner, the black eyes smiled lightly. "Thanks."

Shaking off the golden rope, leaving enough room for the arms to move around, the cloak was tied around the waist, and continued: "Restraining behavior depends on the situation. Sometimes, it is clearly a small mistake, but it will be severely punished. The punishment is unfair."

"Fair?" She smiled, with an obvious surly aura, squinting at the people beside her, and said softly: "Yuebai, your world must be very interesting."

"Although my world cannot truly make everyone equal, we have been working hard to achieve it." Fairness is an unattainable sacred belief. Without a pure and devout heart, it is impossible to face all beings equally.

"A person's level is determined by their birth, and this is God's choice."

"Is it like God chose you to be the queen of Egypt?" Hu Er uttered a sentence, his heart froze faintly following his dark voice, for no reason.

"Are you provoking me?" With a calm voice, her emotions could not be heard, and her side face full of bright moonlight could not read any expression.

"Don't dare. Tonight is dark and the moon is high. If you get angry and push me into the river, you won't even find my body tomorrow." The swimming skills of the triangular cat, this kind of windy river with high waves, she really can't control it.

A low sigh was blown away by the wind, leaving only an unnatural smile on his lips. "In your eyes, I am so bloodthirsty?"

"No, you're very gentle, very easygoing, very kind, very--"

"Enough." He raised his hand to stop her boasting, frowning slightly.

After being stunned for a moment, she suddenly laughed out loud, a bit careless and presumptuous, Xia Yuebai looked at Tusasita's face which was slightly colder than the moonlight, and laughed even more happily.

Stepping on the rippling moonlight, walking side by side by the river, inexplicably silent, accompanied by the Lie Lie wind circling around, the sand and gravel were pushed by the wind and slowly smoothed the two rows of clear footprints behind, silently.

"Tusasita... When will the Prince of Babylon arrive?" Breaking the silence, Xia Yuebai thought of the prince who was about to marry the Queen of Egypt, and she always felt a little pitiful for that man.

Opening his mouth, his eyes were so light that they were almost indifferent. "Is your curiosity too heavy?"

"Oh."

"..."

"Are you really going to marry him? You haven't even met, he--"

"This is my private matter." She rudely interrupted her chatter, raised her hand and brushed the hair in front of her head back, pressed it without letting go, let it flow over her palm, wrapped her arm again, and struggled frantically. In the river wind swirling around.

"I know that Egypt may... go to war. You need an army. Babylon will give you an army. This is the marriage condition you proposed." I really admire myself for continuing this topic. Too ignorant of Sasita's apparent displeasure.

"Egypt's political affairs have become the gossip of you idlers." He let go of his hand, and a long hair continued to flutter wildly by his side, with a more arrogant vigor than before.

He explained eagerly, not wanting her to misunderstand.I saw a sliver of coldness seeping from the bottom of those sad brown eyes, too fast, too urgent, there was a huge wave that was about to engulf everything. "No, everyone is very worried about you. You are their king. They love you and don't want to see you being wronged."

"Wronged?" He stopped and looked up at the starry sky.After a while, there was a very soft voice, as if talking to himself. "At any rate, she married a prince, so where did the grievance come from?"

He frowned, looked sideways, and looked at her in the dark. "Exchanging one's own happiness for Egypt's victory is a grievance; using marriage as a bargaining chip to obtain an army is a grievance; a marriage without love is a grievance."

Take a step forward and close your eyes. "Yuebai, you talk too much tonight."

Startled, she lowered her eyelids, her slender eyelashes cast a thick shade under the moon, blocking the faint sadness overflowing from her black pupils.

"Feel sorry."

Raise your gaze, follow the cold light of the night sky, and look at the white figure strolling leisurely. The wind from the river blows Tusasita's hair flying around, and the cold moon falls smoothly at her unhurried feet. A slender cloak rippling with the wind, like a piece of calm water, a delicate and silent leisurely beauty.

For no reason, the breathing back into the chest stopped, and then resumed its normal ups and downs.It's just that there seems to be an empty space behind the ribs, which is full of air. It's not a big vacancy, and I don't know what to use to fill it.

Putting aside inexplicable thoughts, raised his feet, and trotted to keep up with the people who were walking farther and farther.

When the two figures were side by side again, Tusasita smiled at her, light and lazy, like a shadow of night wind.

Xia Yuebai smiled back, her tranquility was like the running water beside her, without a trace in the wind.

The white moonlight, like an icy blue fire, burns on the turbulent surface of the Nile River, condensing a strong breath in the depths of the summer night.

After walking for a long time and being silent for a long time, the waves of the Nile suddenly brought the calm and still voice of Tusasita.

"Come to Nanyuan tomorrow morning and copy the unfinished documents tonight."

"Understood." Rubbing his nose, holding the last ray of hope, he asked softly, "Can I stop learning?"

"Okay, as long as you admit that you are stupid, you don't need to learn." She cut her hands behind her back, raised her eyebrows, and smiled triumphantly.

He raised his voice excitedly, it hurt his self-esteem to be looked down upon by others, thinking of those twisted pictographs, his whole face collapsed again. "I'm not stupid, but these words are too difficult to write. Just the name of the general, I made four mistakes and wasted four sheets of paper."

"There's a lot of paper, don't worry."

"Why does he have such a complicated name, seven syllables and nine words."

"Then I ordered him to change his name to a simple one."

"No, the name was given by the parents, how can you change it randomly."

"I can, it's just a name." If it was a name bestowed by her, it would be regarded as a kind of great honor, and those people simply couldn't ask for it.

"It's really not necessary." She waved her hand vigorously and shook her head. She almost forgot that the young woman beside her was an Egyptian pharaoh. Not to mention such trivial things as asking people to change their names, it would take a life, and that's why she moved her finger. moment.

"Really not?"

"No, no, I will show up in Nanyuan on time tomorrow morning, and I can't finish copying those heavenly scriptures——no, documents, I swear to the death that I will not leave."

Without opening her mouth, she glanced at Xia Yuebai who was beside her swearing.

The full moonlight rubbed into the golden mottled deep in the brown eyes, a cloud of bright silver, a cloud of brilliant gold, similar breaths can always attract each other, just like sunlight can always attract some brilliant things.

With a light flash in his eyes, Xia Yuebai turned his face away, hurried and panicked.

Too dazzling luster, too charming eyes, it seems that if you look at it for a long time, your heart will be trapped in the charming pupil that sucks the soul, and you can't help but become a captive of those deep eyes.

It was... a horrible feeling.

The author has something to say: The last day of 2015 is also the last update of this year, la la la. . . . .

I wish you all a happy new year, good health and success in everything (nearly 2016 words are omitted here)! Happy [-]! !

See you next year, my friends, hug me hard. . . .

PS New Year’s Day and Autumn will be on holiday, let the brain rest, so I won’t update it (I won’t tell you, I may come back and update a chapter or something secretly), baahaha! !

Chapter 16

I copied complicated documents all morning, and listened to boring state affairs all morning.

To be honest, Xia Yuebai didn't understand half of the military and political affairs that those ministers talked about.However, the other half that she only understands has made her feel exhausted.

I am more and more sympathetic to Tusahita, who is a pharaoh. He is only five years older than himself. Such a beautiful youth, full of flowers and brocades, is dedicated to the endless state affairs and boring neighbor diplomacy.

Flood control of the flooding of the Nile…

Due to the flooding of the river in the lower reaches, the population temporarily relocated to the middle reaches...

Various preparations for the New Year and sacrifices...

There was a slave riot in a city upstream that I can't remember the name...

Pyramid restoration paused due to stone shortage...

There was a mistake in the funds for repairing the Valley of the Kings...

Sinai peninsula hit by storm, road damage...

Deployment arrangements after the readjustment of the military...

Of course, the situation in Libya is also indispensable. This country adjacent to the delta region has increasingly rampant harassment, which has brought a great threat to daily life on the border of Egypt.
