Pharaoh and her queen

After the storm, the golden light circling over the city of Tanis became more and more venomous day by day. The verdant ferns in the center of the inner courtyard were drooping to the ground at this moment, and the cool and sweet wind was hidden in the gaps of the snowflake stone steps, and a dull atmosphere permeated everywhere. .

Ye Zhiqing was wearing the simplest linen-colored robe, with broken hair hanging by his ears, and without any accessories around his body, his thick and slim figure was standing beside the huge round stone pillar in the corridor, holding in his hand the book that Yidis reviewed last night. past documents.

It lists all the coveted resource and port distribution treaties between Egypt and Hittite in the Nusuya region after Egypt and Hittite reached an armistice agreement.

She looked through silently and quietly, her movements were light and slow, her reading was very slow but very careful.

"Miss Ye, General Hershey wants to see you, she is waiting outside the courtyard," deliberately lowering his voice, Lan Masu walked into the courtyard with light steps.

Ye Zhiqing raised his hand and rubbed his astringent eyes, and was silent for a while, with a soft and calm voice, "No see."

Unexpectedly, Ye Zhiqing would refuse so simply, Lan Masu was stunned for a moment, then quickly agreed, and went outside the courtyard to refuse Hexi who was waiting.

Lan Masu's back was cut off by the simple white door frame, Ye Zhiqing's eyes were cool and indifferent, staring at the empty space in front of him in a daze.

When I woke up, the temperature beside the pillow was freezing. I thought it was difficult to fall asleep due to sporadic drowsiness last night, but I didn't expect to sleep very deeply. When I woke up, I felt refreshed and comfortable after being exhausted and sleeping soundly.

Ye Zhiqing spent the past half month recuperating leisurely, and the tension in his mind was completely relaxed. He simply took out all the documents related to the armistice agreement on the desk of Etis, since Etis tacitly allowed her to read them Ye Zhiqing did not shy away from these documents, the more she knew, the better for her.

Etis deliberately let her own purpose go, it was obvious that the relationship between the two was just a pure transaction, and they knew in their hearts where the bottom line that they couldn't touch each other was.

And within the allowed limit, it is necessary to exchange the smallest chip for the greatest value as much as possible.

"Miss Ye," the clear and neutral voice brought back Ye Zhiqing's wandering thoughts.

Hirsch actually rushed in, stood at the bottom of the steps, put her right hand on her chest, bent down slightly, and saluted Ye Zhiqing respectfully, followed by Lan Masu who was at a loss.

Ye Zhiqing nodded to Lan Masu, motioning silently for her to step back first, his black eyes and Hexi looked at each other peacefully.

"Miss Ye, Hirsch begs for your forgiveness for my recklessness," Hirsch's clear eyes were stained with a layer of haze in memory, and her sharp and capable aura faded a lot.

Ye Zhiqing raised his eyebrows a little, paused, and deliberately satirized himself, "General Hershey, I'm just a lowly servant, so it's too impolite for you to salute me."

Hirsch looked up at Ye Zhiqing, who was calm and smiling, his knuckles trembled, and the embarrassment in his deep pupils was pressed deep down. He turned his eyes to the clerk at the side, his eyes flashed with surprise, and his lips twitched A few times, but no sound came out.

Although Hershey tried her best to conceal the stiffness hidden under the hard armor, Ye Zhiqing was still keenly aware of her unnaturalness.

As the chief general stationed in Tanis, he controls a quarter of Egypt's army, and is well-known in the Middle Seas battlefield and Egypt for his outstanding military talent and military methods.

Ye Zhiqing thought Hirsch would never have expected such a day when he was a nobleman of Thebes who was born with a halo of halo. Except for people other than Itis, Egypt had a strict hierarchy, and most Egyptian nobles treated captives and slaves. With instinctive disgust and contempt.

From the fall of Ponte to the present, Etis has protected Ye Zhiqing very well, cutting off most malicious prying eyes, but when Ye Zhiqing went to the battlefield alone with the army led by Hexi, although Hexi always Let Ye Zhiqing follow him all the time, but the feeling of being peeped by contemptuous eyes is particularly strong.

Ye Zhiqing's eyes curved deeper unconsciously, and he lowered his head to smooth the rolled corner of the papyrus document, the sharp edge was hidden in the plain statement.

"General Hirsch, you should ask His Majesty Edith for forgiveness, not me."

"For your completely ignorant and stupid behavior when fighting Hittite, and the consequences of offending me."

To Hershey, the clear and soft voice seemed to be judged by the priest in the temple. He was unceremonious, revealing the recklessness and arrogance he didn't want to face up to, like sharp knives, directly stabbing Pain has always been hidden under the hard shell of weakness.

The body trembled violently a few times, and the blue veins on the wrist faintly emerged, and after taking a deep look at Ye Zhiqing, Hexi bent down and saluted again, then turned around and walked out the door quickly.

The very regular sound of metal rubbing gradually faded away. Ye Zhiqing didn't have much time to look at the documents at this time. He put it aside and lay down on the soft couch outside the corridor. The extremely comfortable and soft touch came from below him, soothing Ye Zhiqing silently. The nerves are getting tense again.

The soft couch in the outer courtyard, Ye Zhiqing, had someone move it to the inner courtyard a few days ago, and has been recuperating in the inner courtyard for half a month, and has never been out.

About three or four days ago, Hirsch asked to see her, probably because of the power of Ittis, and after being rejected by Ye Zhiqing, there was no movement, but she didn't expect that Ittis was not there today, so she broke in directly.

Ye Zhiqing closed her eyes lightly, lying motionless on the soft couch, trying to suppress the restlessness welling up in her heart.

However, her mind became more and more clear-headed, she was stunned by Hirsch's men on the battlefield and left behind, and Hirsch broke into her residence directly today. Never been so strong.

On the contrary, when getting along with Ittis, Ye Zhiqing seldom felt this sense of urgency on the verge of suffocation, as if he was stepping on the edge of a bottomless abyss, as long as someone pushed forward lightly, there would be no bones left.

"Miss Ye."

Lan Masu hurried in after seeing General Hirsch leaving with a serious face, looked nervously at Ye Zhiqing who was lying on the soft couch, and spoke out in concern.

Ye Zhiqing's forehead was covered with fine sweat, and his expression of forbearance and anxiety was intertwined, which was very visually impactful.

"Lan Masu, move these documents back to their original location."

"Yes."

Having no time to care about Lan Masu's emotions, Ye Zhiqing closed her eyes again after she finished speaking, she seemed to be stuck in a quagmire now, and the only life-saving straw was tightly held in the hands of Ittis.

I haven't had it in a long time, and I am deeply disturbed.

Not from Ittis, but from a strange land whose knowledge is limited to books.

Golden Empire - Egypt

The stone eaves blocked the sunlight, making the pale and restless expression of the person on the couch even more obvious, and his heart throbbed suddenly. Edith approached silently, and said suddenly, "What are you thinking?"
