Before AD [Babylonian Favorites]

I turned my head and walked away without looking at other people's reactions.Many people called my name behind my back, I covered my ears and walked faster and faster.It doesn't matter how seductive dancing is, what he likes to do has nothing to do with me.I just want him to understand that even if I like him, it doesn't mean I'm a chess piece that can be manipulated.But he probably never knew how I felt.

It's pointless.

I walked back to my tent, and as soon as I opened the curtain, I saw Naxi holding a white thing in a daze.

"Where did this thing come from?" He asked in a bad tone when he saw me coming in.

When I was in the worst mood, I didn't want to talk to him, and threw myself on the bed with a blanket under my chin in a daze.I have never thought carefully about my future way out, or I always avoid it subconsciously, just wanting to stay by Alexander's side for a while.But if this continues, I'm afraid I'll watch Alexander as the groom and marry the bride in a short time. When he had Hephaestion, I seemed very redundant. When he has a wife as the wife, will I still follow him? Serving him and his wife by his side?

I buried my head in the quilt.

Might as well hack me to death with a knife.

The person behind me tugged at my shoulders.

"Bagos, why is this thing here with you?"

"I don't know, I'm annoyed now, if you want to take it away."

"Kazander sent it to you, right? What did he say to you?" Nessie's voice was very angry.

I was so quarreled by him, I looked up at the thing in his hand, hey, isn't this the pearl necklace Kassander gave me.

"He didn't say anything! Don't ask me any more. Didn't you just ignore me when I asked you if you wanted it? Why are you so excited!" I got up angrily, and raised my head again, "You... "

The tent was already empty.

Strange, why is Nessie angry?Just because that little bastard gave me a necklace?Is he jealous?I couldn't help shivering, the idea was too sci-fi.I chased him for two steps, thinking that he might be looking for Kassander.But Kassander should still be at the banquet now, I really don't want to go back to that place.

While I was hesitating, I saw two people slowly walking towards me on the road, talking softly while walking.Judging by his clothes, he was probably a general attending a banquet.I didn't want to cause trouble, so I hurried to the side of the road and bowed my head like an inferior servant, waiting for the two to pass by.

It's a pity that things didn't go according to people's wishes. One of them stopped and walked a few steps closer to me.

"Are you angry?" A long-lost voice came from above.

I looked up and saw a delicate slapped face.The Seleucid blond hair was all erected on the back of his head, exposing his smooth forehead.She was dressed in a Persian robe with gold thread patterns, and her green eyes were shining, which was the same color as the green diamond on her right ear.

He repeated it softly again: "I specially arranged this show for Alexander to watch, and let Tai Qisi go up to seduce him, are you very angry?"

"you……"

Seleucus snapped, "I did it on purpose."

I was taken aback.

"Bagosse," he called me, raising his hand as if to stroke my hair, "I'm not like your Majesty, he is very philanthropic, but I am very selfish. But you know, love can only be selfish. See Alexander was seduced by Taijis, how do you feel?"

"Lord Seleucus." I clenched my fists, "You did this just to see me laugh?"

He grabbed my arm, but said lightly, "I don't mind if you think so."

"Very well, I should thank you, sir?" I nodded, trying to shake him off, "I've seen enough jokes, can I go?"

"No, I'm leaving now." Seleucus grabbed my hand tightly, "Bagos, I used to be a little casual, but I'm not afraid to tell you that what I hate the most is being abandoned, in order to avoid this kind of thing from happening , I always abandon others. But nothing I said to you was a lie, do you know what I thought? You are a beauty, so I want to get you, it's that simple. Then you rejected me, when I Just thinking, I must punish you—I must get this person no matter what, and then get rid of it! I want to see you holding my leg and crying that you are wrong!"

I broke away from him and took two steps back: "You're crazy."

"I'm crazy!" He actually raised the corners of his lips and smiled lowly, "Bagos, you can give up your life for that wolf-hearted guy. I'm worried that your body will secretly take you out of the camp, but you will abandon me A man ran back again! You think I don't know? You just don't want to leave him..."

"Get out! I don't want to listen to you!" I yelled loudly, grabbing him by the skirt, "Get out! If you don't want to be beaten, get out! This is my business, it has nothing to do with you! I don't need you here You can pretend to be a goddamn saint even if you speak the truth!"

Seleucus let me tug, his long eyelashes covered his eyes: "Did I hit your heart? Oh, you say you dare to say that you don't like the strongest person? Everyone knows that that person is jealous of him." His father's illustrious military exploits, fearing that his half-brother would inherit the throne, he would join forces with his mother to kill his father. Every time that man conquered a city, he would massacre the city and force women and children into slavery. That man could easily abandon his childhood lover Killing your childhood playmate easily, you will become so excited if I scold him? Bagos, I don’t understand. Is it true that the colder you are, the stronger you are, the more you will like it... eh! "

I put down my fist and ran away.

Who wants this?Who doesn't want to have a consummated love and someone who can grow old hand in hand?But how can it be that simple?With so many people in the world, how small is the probability of finding someone who you like and who just happens to like you?I'm not sorry, but why is it so difficult to just quietly watch him?

I stopped, only to find that the tents around me were all unfamiliar, and I didn't even know where I should go.

Is it really time to go?There's no point in staying any longer, maybe all he needs is a servant who is dedicated to serving him tea and water, a sword that can help him hurt Hephaistion at the right time, and a sword that can give him a hand when he is sad and crying. Warm and encouraging embrace.I don't know what it is, but it must not be a lover.

Maybe it's true, because of too many barriers, we are out of tune.Likes do not support me to stay here, after all, there are many things in a person's life other than likes.

I thought of the ruby ​​ring and made up my mind.

I can't delay any longer, just these two days, I'm going to steal that ring.

However, in the early morning of the next day, when I was mentally preparing to go to the Alexander camp, I didn't see Tai Qisi.Alexander was sleeping soundly on the bed. He was lying on his side like a shrimp, with his hands resting on his chest naturally.I was startled, I originally wanted to leave quietly, look at him again, and then turned back to cover him with the quilt.

Walking to the door, I suddenly heard his voice.

"Taiqis did not stay." He said shyly, "Bagoss, you know my intention is not like this, but I can't do it without hurting anyone, I will do my best to reduce it. I know I There will be a price for this, Bagoas, and if all the pain can be repaid twice, I can bear it alone."

I didn't turn around, just listened to him silently, then lifted the curtain and left.

After two weeks, the north wind suddenly blew for several days, and the weather suddenly turned cold, as if directly skipping autumn and entering the severe winter.We followed a rather wide river, which they called the Tane, which I suspected to be a branch of the Tigris.The cold wind on the road was bitterly cold, and even the riverbed was covered with solid ice.The marching speed of the army was significantly faster, and the food and grass reserves were a little tight. Alexander decided to rush to the next city to escape the winter before the snow fell.

Where we are at present is the border between Persia and Scythia.The place name Scythia sounded very strange at first glance. After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't remember that I had heard of this place.Ptolemy explained to me that this "used to" be a country, and their 9-year-old king was killed by Alexander's father Philip II nine years ago, and has been torn apart since then.It is said that after winning the battle, Philip II still felt very ashamed, and for a long time he did not want to mention it to others, because fighting with a 90-year-old grandfather was too invincible.

This time when they heard that the son of Philip was rushing here, the Scythians were all terrified and prepared early. They even united with the Bactrians in the northeast of them to fight against Alexander.

I am still a little familiar with Bactria. In China, it may be more customary to call it Daxia, an ancient country in the Western Regions that had commercial relations with ancient China.They speak the Tocharian language and mainly live near the west of Xinjiang.Around 100 BC, Zhang Qian, a well-known diplomat in the Western Han Dynasty in ancient China, was also sent there as an envoy.

Speaking of the current era, in 330 BC, China should have been in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, with feudal lords fighting for hegemony and wars raging. Fortunately, Alexander didn't know the existence of China, otherwise wouldn't it be very dangerous?It's a pity that Qin Shihuang Yingzheng will not be able to appear on the stage for about 100 years, otherwise the sci-fi scene of Alexander PK Yingzheng might not be a fantasy.

I came out of Alexander's tent while thinking wildly.

I've been unsuccessful in finding opportunities to steal the ring these days.On the one hand, it was because Hephaestion stayed in his camp for a long time, and on the other hand, he was afraid that he was a very clever and skilled wrestler, and once caught, it would be the end of the game.

After the Tajs incident, Alexander went to Hephaistion to have a good talk, and the relationship between the two eased.

I began to keep silent on purpose, except to take care of Alexander's daily life, and try to talk to him as little as possible.At dusk, he no longer stood guard to guard him, and resolutely went back to rest in his tent, which made Naxi unhappy.In fact, ever since he approached Kassander about the pearl necklace, he has been worried, and he would not answer if he asked him.

"He only has you as an attendant. If you're not serving him, what are you doing here?" Naixi asked.

"Why do you always speak for him?" I retorted, "He captured your hometown, so he should be your enemy?"

Nexi was stunned, lowered his head and murmured: "Everyone has their own destiny. Alexander is blessed by the Lord God Amon. He is the Pharaoh sent to us by heaven. How can he be considered an enemy?"

I stared at him and said, "You're quite resigned."

"Bagoss, Your Majesty is calling for you." Melanie's voice suddenly came from outside the tent.

I went out in response, and saw Alexander walking towards here while putting on a thick animal fur coat.

"I'm going to the tent to discuss the matter tonight. You go and inform the cooking soldiers and let them prepare the meals for the generals and me, and they will bring them over later."

He couldn't hide his excitement in his words. After explaining, he suddenly turned his eyes to look at me: "Do you want to go and see with me?"

"Look at what?" I was a little puzzled.

"You tell them first, you will come to find me later," Alexander smiled slyly like a child, and waved at me again, "Boy, keep your eyes open, the real fun will begin next. "
