The sky is bright summer on the banks of the Red River

Ming Xia was sitting on the camel, with a handkerchief spread out in his hand to cover the wound on his face that was scratched by the opponent's arrows. A long scratch flew obliquely from his chin to the corner of his eye. Beads of blood ooze out, like a blood-red scarlet snake entrenched and possessed.If there was a mirror in front of him, the scratches on Ming Xia's face would look terrifying and dazzling.The scorching tingling sensation made Ming Xia wish to devour the people of the Nasu tribe alive, dammit, she was disfigured.

She never wanted to go through that critical and frightening moment on the battlefield just now.Xu Shi loves to bathe with grapefruit leaves recently, so he was not killed by Liujian.I don't know how the Nasu tribe noticed her, and they shot arrows from such a long distance, and they shot so accurately. If it wasn't for the quick response of Cloton next to her, who pushed her swiftly, she might have really Hanging to death here is like stepping on a banana peel and falling to death.

Although this fight was a victory, Ming Xia's tribe was lucky enough to have no casualties, but it was inevitable that they would suffer.Even her patriarch's face was scratched by the arrows, it was really unlucky.After everyone bandaged for a while, Ming Xia decided to leave immediately.

But this time, it did allow her tribe to gain a firm foothold in the Bedouin without being squeezed out.Thinking of this, she was still very happy.

After the fight, there are statistics on the loss of property and casualties.Ming Xia was busy rushing back to Tadmore, so he didn't stay. He immediately bid farewell to Croja, the chief of the Naville tribe, and prepared to go home.

When he got on his hunchback and was about to set off, a shout came from behind him: "Patriarch Tadem, please stay."

Ming Xia turned her head when she heard the sound.

It turned out to be Danilanga. He ran all the way in a hurry. The undulating sand made him stumble and panting from exhaustion.Before reaching Ming Xia, he yelled loudly: "Clan chief Tademu, Danilanga would like to thank you on behalf of the whole clan, thank you for coming to rescue us at our most critical moment."

Ming Xia didn't know why he said that, but he replied calmly: "We are allies, if you are killed, we should help you out of circumstances and reasons."

The visitor stood still, with a bright smile on his blood-stained face, and his dark pupils filled with anticipation: "I hope you can stay and let our tribe treat you and your people."

"I can't stay for long, Tadmore still has something waiting for me." Ming Xia smiled slightly, feeling the burning pain from the wound on his face, and couldn't help but gasped with a "hiss", fortunately the surrounding environment No one heard the noise, she continued, "Daniranga, your father still needs your help, you should go back quickly."

After speaking, he patted the camel's neck, and his head

Without returning, he left this messy battlefield.

She, Ming Xia, urgently needs to go back to Tadmore to adjust her mentality.

A hot gaze behind her has not moved away for a long time, as if the tenacious desert plant is about to take root on her body.Ming Xia straightened his body, led his tribe, drove the camels, and walked towards the desert until his figure disappeared at the end of the yellow sand.

Having just experienced a bloody fight, Ming Xia's heart trembled from the hostility and suffocation all over her body, and there were many bloody scenes.She is not a saint, not a strong person, because she has a responsibility, so she can't show a little fear in front of the tribe, and must lead the tribe to bravely go forward to kill the enemy.I can't tell anyone about all my fears and fears, I can only quietly find a place to hide and adjust myself slowly.

After returning to Tadmore, Sara and Yilin were astonished and distressed at the scar on Ming Xia's face.

In the yurt, Ihabi and Cloton were describing the brutal battle to Depot vividly, while Sara was pressing Ming Xia, and Erin took the potion and applied it to Ming Xia.This scar is really too conspicuous, in the end, the two of them combined and tied a bandage on Ming Xia's head, covering the entire left cheek.

Ming Xia who flashed into the space in the middle of the night looked at his embarrassment in the bronze mirror, couldn't laugh or cry, and finally sat by the bed and sighed.She seldom sleeps in the bedroom in the courtyard of the space, but now she has to stay in the space for a few nights in order to recover from the time difference on her face.

Days in the desert seem to stand still.

Under the blue sky, the mirror-like lake that reflects the sky is surrounded by endless golden yellow, and then this piece of yellow sand that has not changed since ancient times stretches to the end of the sky, meets the blue sky, and finally turns into a panorama. The other side of the invisible horizon.The toughness, bravery and righteousness of the Tadmu tribe spread throughout the Bedouin after this battle.This tribe who dared to fight for the clan alliance and sacrificed their lives immediately made all the local aborigines feel friendly.

In the desert where Ming Xia stayed, the original indigenous forces were quietly changing.

Similarly, the relations among the major countries in the Near East, which are under the same blue sky, are also changing.

Ming Xia lived a life of rice bugs in Tadmore, and when she was talking about the scars on her face, the secret post who had stayed in Xitai sent a message saying that the princess of Assyria had arrived in Xitai, and the princess of Babylon was on her way.

The wind rose, the clouds surged, and the situation really changed.

Xitai captured Mitanni, and the entire army was ready to return to the dynasty.

At this moment, Xi Li, who was kneeling in front of the statue in the great temple, had mixed feelings in her heart.Her Royal Highness to her

It's really good, news is sent back from the front line every now and then, and from time to time, someone comes to her side to spread the word, and they also set up people around her to protect her. Her days in the temple are very safe.

In the anticipation day and night, she didn't know when the love for His Royal Highness Kailu grew in her heart.She knew that it was time for her to return to Japan when Prince Kairu returned to the court and when she saw him.However, she was very sad in her heart, but when she thought that she could go back to Japan and see the family waiting for her, the sadness and anxiety in her heart seemed to disappear in an instant.

After finishing her prayer, Xili stood at the entrance of the temple, looking at the white clouds in the sky, feeling the wind blowing in her face, she couldn't help feeling better, and she could go home after waiting for a few days.After returning, I took everything that happened here as a dream, but I remembered it more clearly after waking up from the dream.

Prince Kailu and his party, who were heading to Hattushas in the West, were also rushing back at this time.

After days of migrating and trekking, the army had to stop and camp on the way to take a rest.

Prince Kailu, who had something on his mind, was pacing back and forth in front of the camp, when suddenly he shouted: "Kashu, prepare the horses for Chikri and me, and arrange the replacement horses on the way. Return to Hattushas before we wake up."

Kaxiu, who was sitting by the bonfire in front of the camp, couldn't help being surprised, but he wisely chose to shut up.

At this time, his counselor, Irbonni, suddenly waved to Chikri who was busy preparing his luggage, and said softly, "Chikri, come here quickly."

Hearing this, Chikri put down the buddy in his hand, followed Irbonne's footsteps and left the camp, and walked to a bush.Chikri was also quite curious, and asked, "Il, where are you taking me? Your Highness is going to be busy on the road, and I have to prepare..."

Before they finished speaking, the two of them saw a familiar figure.

That person is Ulussi next to Princess Nakiya, wearing a priest's black robe, with gorgeous blond hair hanging behind him, holding a priest's scepter in his hand, standing on the other side of the bush to supervise the soldiers' work .

At this time, Yi Er suddenly said loudly: "Your Highness will be able to send Miss Xili back safely this time. You think so too, Chikri?"

"Huh?!" Chikri was startled, he didn't understand what Il meant, but he still replied seriously, "Yes, that's right, if you miss the rising of Venus after a few days For days, Miss Xili can only stay."

Such a loud voice, if Ulussi could no longer hear, then he was either deaf or a fool.

Sure enough, as Yil expected, Ulussi immediately turned around and fled.

Seeing the figure of Ulussi slipping away, Chikri suddenly realized, and regretted: "Master Yier, Ulussi heard this, he will..."

Immediately, a successful smile appeared on the corner of Irbonne's mouth, and he said, "Chikri, I just want him to stop Prince Kailu for me, and leave Miss Xili behind."

"Why do you do that?" Chikley asked suspiciously.

"Miss Xili's current identity directly represents the goddess Ishtar, the goddess worshiped by the people of Mesopotamia." Il said here, his eyes lit up, "Your Highness needs her Now that I have to do some things with my identity, His Majesty the King has no energy to train a high priest Alina for His Highness, but the prince can train another high priest who belongs to him directly, which directly represents the goddess, so Miss Xili is now The importance of it far surpasses that of Priest Alina."

Chikri was surprised, and stood there without saying a word.

Irbonne said with a satisfied smile: "Miss Xili has no one to rely on, the concubine wants to kill her all the time, she can only rely on His Highness, and she is also pure, her mind is clearly written in On the face. She is like a blank piece of paper on which the prince can smear as he pleases. Therefore, she is better controlled and used than the previous Priest Alina. She is an excellent chess piece candidate, and I cannot let Your Highness Such a good pawn was missed."

After listening to Irbonni's analysis, Chikri nodded and said, "That's true, but..."

"But the prince did not treat her badly. The future king's side concubine, she is a commoner, and it is already very good to be able to sit in the side concubine's seat." Irbonne sighed, "Although I don't agree with your highness taking the side concubine , However, when this side concubine can bring absolute benefits, I will not object. What's more, she is currently holding the position of the highest priest of the empire. Those of the imperial concubine, that's not easy to handle."
