Before AD [Babylonian Favorites]

After a long time, the little boy couldn't resist the drowsiness and fell asleep leaning against my waist.

I took advantage of the moonlight to look at the ring in my hand, and it felt so clear that my destiny was in the palm of my hand.

The color of the gemstone is as mysterious and beautiful as a rose, and it will reflect a faint luster when it is turned a little.

Destroy it, or go back to modern times, or nothing happened, I can only flee while looking for other ways to go back.Maybe it will happen to be found again, but maybe it will never be found.

My hand holding the ring trembled slightly, and immediately put it in my arms.I hurriedly sat up again, and even the little boy was awakened.

He looked at me sleepily.

"I have to go." I quickly got up with the package, "It's not safe outside now, you'd better go back to the city and stay."

"Where is that brother going?"

I turned around and forced a smile at him: "Go home."

The east reveals a faint fish-belly white.

The stables were not far from the camp where the army was stationed, and the cold air in the morning made your feet a little numb.I purposely walked in the opposite direction for a while, and when the little boy finally stopped looking at me and stopped trying to follow me, I turned around and walked towards the camp again.Originally, I wanted to leave the stables with a horse, but I didn't expect that there were only bull heads left here.It is impossible for me to take this divine horse away and wander around the world with me.

Fortunately, I had prepared beforehand, and I had secretly tied up a horse under a tree next to the camp yesterday afternoon... I stopped.

Because where there should have been a horse there was no horse, only a man.Looking at it from a distance, there is a white silhouette leaning against the tree, motionless, as if asleep.

I secretly felt something was wrong, so I couldn't help but took two steps back, but I made a mistake in my busy schedule, and instead got caught by a blade of grass and fell to the ground.

"Who?"

The man's voice suddenly reached his ears.

Damn it!exposed!

I got up in a panic and ran. After running two steps, I heard his moderate voice continue: "If you don't want to be shot to death by an arrow, don't move."

I stopped immediately.

The morning light slanted my shadow on the withered yellow grass, and I saw a shadow at my feet.

"Why don't you look up and look at me?" After a while, a soft voice appeared behind me, "I came here specially to wait for you."

I couldn't move, and my back was a little stiff, because I already recognized the voice.

Seeing that I didn't answer for a long time, he turned around stubbornly and stood facing me, his spotless white Greek robe still exuded a strong fragrance, and then I was very discouraged to find that this bastard didn't hold a bow and arrow at all, so I turned my head away in frustration .

"I swear to Zeus that I didn't find out about your whereabouts on purpose," said the man in front of him with a natural tone, "You make me a little happy and a little sad, Bagoss."

I gritted my teeth and stared at his boots.

"So you want to take me back?"

"My boots don't speak, Bagoas."

I looked up and looked into his blue eyes coldly.The usually seductive eyes were not as frivolous as the owner's tone, which made me a little stunned, and then looked away.

"You have always been very dedicated," Seleucus said without haste, "except for sneaking out with a horse the day before yesterday, and leaving the table suddenly last night."

"You stalking me?" I frowned, "What are you trying to do?"

"Relax, I just happened to see. I happened to see a lot of things, can I explain clearly? For example, I happened to see you walking by on the road, I happened to see you watching the wind and snow alone at the door, I happened to see you Smiling and talking to others, I just happened to see you dancing," he paused, then softly praised, "It's beautiful."

I snorted coldly, but still didn't speak.

"You got what you wanted, didn't you?"

"Yes, yes," I said perfunctorily, "So Lord Seleucus, can you let me go?"

"So, Bagoss, this is what I want to ask." He suddenly grabbed me very tightly, "Even if you leave, why don't you come to me?"

He stuffed me into his arms with brute force. Seleucus was not very strong. I didn't expect such a great strength in his long body. I couldn't move at all.

He whispered: "To be honest, I never believed in those hypocritical gods, I only believed in myself. Let me take you away, the two of us get out of here. I hate all this, fighting, fighting, killing, God knows When will I be able to live in peace! Bagoas, I swear on my own life, as long as you promise, I will immediately bring my army with you..."

"Of course not!" The more I listened, the more I felt something was wrong, so I shouted to stop.Halo, I thought Seleucus was here to catch me, but he actually wanted to run away with me.Isn't he an open enemy of Alexander by doing so?Could it be that the consequence of my unauthorized exit caused Seleucus to have a different heart in advance?Before I could figure it out, Seleucus suddenly pushed me away.

I don't know when many soldiers sprang out from around, fully armed, and surrounded us.

"What happened?" Seleucus pretended to be calm.

One of them made a military salute and continued: "We received a message from Lord Antigonus that someone in the palace stole the general's things last night, so we came here to arrest him."

He turned his head, and it was Alexander's loyal and good bodyguard Melanie.

So fast!My heart skipped a beat, how did Antigon know?Why did it reach Alexander's ears so quickly?Could it be that Seleucus told the secret?If so, why did he come to me?I looked back and forth between the two, and the expression on Melanie's face was airtight, uncharacteristically.

In the confusion, Seleucus pointed at me: "You mean he is a thief?"

Melanie was silent for a long time, and said: "No offense, General Seleucus, but General Hephaestion's ring is missing."

Seleucus looked back at me abruptly, with many emotions flashing in his eyes for a moment. I could see that he was asking me, but I was indifferent and did not respond to him.

In the end, everything was calm, and he nodded: "Understood."

I calmly took out the ring from my bosom and a dagger from my waist, the one Alexander gave me.

"If you don't want me to destroy it, don't come here."

The soldiers were a little nervous at the moment, and only Melanie looked aside with cold eyes: "This is a gem, Bagoss, and it's not so easy to break. Some things you think are too beautiful, and you will hurt yourself instead of hurting others."

I didn't listen to his nonsense, and I stabbed the gem hard, but the huge gem was still solid except for a shallow scratch, and I was kicked from behind and fell to the ground, and several people ran over and pressed my knees. limbs and back.

"Bagoss! Bagoss!"

But I am not reconciled!I could have almost run away!I don't want to go back, I'd rather die than see Alexander again like this!

I heard Seleucus yelling at me, but that was all I could think of.I scratched the gem with the dagger desperately, the dagger stabbed the back of my hand, blood dripped everywhere, I stabbed desperately like a madman, until someone stepped on my wrist desperately and pulled the ring and the dagger away.

Several people tied me up firmly, just like they did to Baizus at that time.I was held by someone and stood up. Someone grabbed my hair and made me look up at him. I panted heavily and saw Melanie's disgusted and indifferent expression.

"I remember how His Majesty gave you this dagger. Maybe you forgot, but I remember."

He just said this and walked away quickly.

"Give me back the ring! Give me back the ring!"

My loud roar didn't get any response. Some people thought I was noisy and couldn't help punching me, but I passed out after a while.

The moonlight penetrated through the crack of the door, and I slowly woke up.The surroundings were so quiet that only the footsteps of patrolling guards outside could be heard, and the cold wind blew in, causing ice shards to fall from the cracks in the bones.I wiped my face and curled up with my arms folded.

cold.

Apart from the cold, I have no time to take into account other feelings.The cold wind from Siberia in winter is mixed with snowflakes.

My brain was stiff and I couldn't think, my fingers were so swollen that it was difficult to even bend them. I coughed a few times with difficulty and closed my eyes again.

For two days in a row, I was imprisoned here and no one cared about me.

But I am not sad, I am very happy.At least no one will see me the way I am now. If Alexander doesn't come, I don't have to see him.This is enough.When I think about how he will look at me, how he will think of me... Without the ring, I have nothing.Even the only thing he gave me was taken away, I can't go back, I can't go back again, nowhere is my world.

With these days, I finally have time to recall what happened.From the first time I set foot on this land, the first time I opened my eyes and saw Alexander walking towards me, the first time I woke up from a nightmare to hug him, the first time I panicked because he was in danger, We are getting closer, and I am increasingly aware that I have chosen a path that is destined to have no future.

I lost the chance to withdraw. I should have understood from the beginning that if I fell into his eyes, no matter whether it was at the beginning or now, I was destined to be unable to escape unscathed.

I rolled over and sneezed.

The door creaked open and closed again.

I don't want to move, it should be a servant who came to deliver food and water.

But there was no sound of dishes falling to the ground.

Someone's footsteps are getting closer.

Then the clothes rustled, and I heard the breathing of the man close at hand, falling gently on my face.
