Pharaoh and her queen

When the flood of the Nile River that drenched the residential area receded, the dark fertile silt sparkled in the bright light.

It was supposed to be a scene where all things sprout and grow, but the place is messy, empty and dead.

Washed-out residences, livestock sheds, rotten vegetables and leaves, clear cracks on the soil layer...

Ittis and his group looked at the scene in front of them with indifferent expressions and did not stop.

Along the way, they are accustomed to such scenes.

Going forward, the pain of being broken came faintly, which could have relieved the unbearable rotten smell wrapped in the hot breeze.

The front looked like a temporary settlement of some survivors, and a few dilapidated houses were still standing, barely blocking the harsh sunlight.

Clothes are ragged, hair is wrapped in dirt, long locks are formed into a ball, thin and inhuman, a few people saw a group of Itis in strange costumes approaching from a distance, and took rough stone or wooden weapons , posture alert.

"Give them some water,"

"Yes,"

According to Ittis's order, General Thrall took some water for them as usual, and also gave them some extra food.

Because of Ye Zhiqing's reminder, the food and water they brought far exceeded what they needed in the itinerary, and the bad conditions they saw with their own eyes in the past few days also far exceeded their expectations.

When those people saw the water and food, they immediately relaxed their vigilance. Their dirty and colorless faces trembled a few times, and they approached Ittis to express their gratitude.

Not surprisingly, he was stopped by the guards.

Edith's eyes were indifferent, without compassion, he only glanced twice, and continued walking.

Ships could not enter the city of Lycaine, nor could horse-drawn carriages enter this section of road that had been washed out by the flood, so they had to make a detour, and in order to save time, the group was divided into two teams.

Thrall followed Ittis through here on foot, and the carriage convoy detoured to meet them at Lycain City.

Thrall was worried along the way and followed Edith closely.

"My lord, shall we go directly into the city? The city has already prepared people to respond."

"No, go to the Augustus Mountains first."

The Augustus Mountains are a natural barrier to the eastern desert. Many cities, like Laikain, which are far from the Nile River, rely on the Augustus Mountains to survive.

The high barriers block the hot and dry monsoon in the eastern desert, intercept and store precious drinking water sources, and a variety of fruits and vegetables can be planted in the alluvial plains under the Augustus Mountains, unreservedly endowing nature with gifts To the city under the mountains.

A group of people walked along the ridge to the mountainside, and Itsis walked in the front. The group of people were all wrapped in long white gauze robes from head to toe. Looking from afar, a line of white appeared on the distinctly colored ridgeline. Unidentified object, quite a bit abrupt and weird.

Walking to the pass, the hot wind mixed with yellow sand from the east hits head-on, and the loud and clear eagle cries come from the top of the mountain.

General Saar followed Ittis' pace and gradually slowed down his pace, only to see Ittis stopped in the middle of the pass and took out a dark golden round whistle.

~~~

"Duk~Duk~Duk~~~~~~"

With intermittent whistles, General Saar felt that the cries of eagles on the top of the mountain were getting closer and closer to them. Not long after, several majestic goshawks swooped down from the sky, and their thick eagle claws slammed down not far from the crowd. Grab a protruding rock.

The rock debris fell down with a puff, and a strange and obscure tone was spit out from Edith's mouth, but the most powerful and robust goshawk seemed to understand it.

After responding with a weird cooing sound, it flapped its wings and rushed to the sky, disappearing in a few moments.

After finishing everything, Etis sat on the ground where she was.

General Saar gestured backwards, and the rest of the people dispersed to take charge of the surrounding vigilance.

General Thrall silently put the water and food behind Ittis, found a place not too far away and stood there, and the eyes that seemed to glance at Ittis inadvertently added a bit of awe and awe. fear.

The family behind General Saar has always held a neutral attitude and has always been loyal to the pharaoh on the throne. Therefore, in Thebes, where all forces are intertwined and turbulent, even though the family behind General Saar has a deep historical relationship with the Egyptian royal family , The official position held by their family has always been neither high nor low, and it is neither painful nor itchy.

In other words, whether the person on the throne is Itsis or Ilhot, it has nothing to do with them, and their allegiance is to the person who successfully sat on the throne.

General Saar knew very well that because of this, Itis chose him this time when he escaped from Thebes, because his disappearance in Thebes would not attract much attention.

But along the way, His Majesty Edith never shied away from his every move, no matter what he could understand or what he couldn't understand.

Thrall is very clear that these actions are not temptations, but declarations of Chi.Guo.Guo.

Since then, he and his family can only serve His Majesty Ittis.

That is a god who stands high above, is only allowed to look up to, a god who mixes redemption and sin.

Its seems to be oblivious to everything around him, restraining all aura, and seems to be integrated with the scorched desert in the eyes of others.

Itis stared at the east through the white veil, the Red Sea was next to the eastern desert, and the Red Sea Strait was connected to the China Sea through the Suez Canal to the north.

"General Thrall,"

"king,"

"Ponte's myrrh, gold, ebony, and ivory are all trade routes."

"King, since you opened the port of Suez, the northern and eastern countries have now begun to transship the Suez Canal."

Thrall carefully dealt with the Egyptian queen who suddenly spoke. He had a disciple named Gwani, who was responsible for recording the business transactions in and out of Thebes.

After waiting for a long time, there was no sound from the front, and Thrall dared to stand up straight and look forward cautiously.

His Majesty Edith didn't move at all. I don't know if this question was a whim or something else. Thrall felt chills in the back of his head.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the noise from ahead to break this eerie calm.

"My king."

One was in front and the two were behind. They were both wearing golden soft armor, and their bronze-colored skin shone with a dazzling luster under the sunlight. Before they got close, a frightening and strong fighting spirit rushed towards them.

All three of them wore a golden mask on their faces, with the palm of their right hand facing inward, sticking it to their chest, and bowed down to salute Ittis.

"You guys are here," Ittis stepped forward to take the golden mask handed over by the leader, the white robe fell to the ground, and Mo Ru's long and sleek hair fell in the wind.

Unlike those three, Itis's mask had the Eye of Horus inlaid with gemstones in the center.

Thrall and his party remained silent, not daring to make any moves.

Itis seemed to have expected it long ago, and handed the prepared documents and tokens to Thrall, "General Thrall, take the documents and go to the garrison in Lycain City. As for what to do next, I have already prepared It says in the paperwork that you just need to follow the orders."

"Yes, king." Thrall took the document and wanted to ask Ittis about the next arrangement. They followed Ittis out of the city and were responsible for Ittis' safety, but now Ittis' current attitude is to ask them leave.

Unexpectedly, seeing Ittis' eyes that cannot be disobeyed and refuted, all of Thrall's words fell into his stomach.

In a few moments, Ittis and those people disappeared without a trace.

The heart was beating violently in his chest, and Thrall stood still for a long time before he recovered.

The news that the Queen in Thebes was seriously injured and could not be healed became more and more believed by the time Itis disappeared.

Thrall didn't know what to think of, he clenched the paperwork in his hand with a resolute expression, and after a while, there was no more movement on the ridge and the pass.

At this time, going north along the eastern desert, there is a long stretch of yellow sand where no grass grows, and the field of vision is deflected to the left, and it is a fan-shaped impact plain. The endless fertile land contains countless vitality.

Ye Zhiqing and the mission were standing on a high mountain, overlooking a landscape that was completely different from the narrow and long terrain of Upper Egypt.

Amenet, has begun the first step in mapping the Nile.

"Miss Ye, this is the newly collected data," Soor slowly handed the newly collected data to Ye Zhiqing.

"Thank you."

When the two get along, they are indifferent and alienated, but they are extremely natural, never mentioning what happened before.

Ye Zhiqing drew the collected data one by one on the parchment. He has been busy for the past few days without taking a break. The designers who came with Ye Zhiqing are a little bit dirty, and Ye Zhiqing is also.

On the other hand, Etis, at any time, looks like a clean and dust-free outsider.

The busyness of the people around him did not affect him in any way.

But in the entire mission, only Soor can quickly understand the method of surveying and mapping of the 21C architectural design class he mentioned, and can quickly arrange the work of each person in the mission according to the strengths of each person in the mission.

This saved Ye Zhiqing a lot of trouble.

At the same time, Soor's attitude towards Ye Zhiqing was also very respectful, which made many architects in the mission who had disdain to be under the pharaoh's bedside to put away their restless thoughts.

Through these two days of communication with Ye Zhiqing on architectural design, many people were amazed at Ye Zhiqing's advanced concepts, which saved a lot of effort for their surveying and mapping.

The sun is shining brightly overhead, and every day is busy.

In the middle of the night, with the vast starry sky above his head, Ye Zhiqing lay on the grass, quietly looking at the sea of ​​stars, unconsciously thinking of Etis's eyes.

When facing others, the ancient and modern deep eyes have no waves, but when looking at himself, they seem to be soaked in the tenderness of thousands of stars.

In a foreign world where she was alone, it was the first time that someone made her feel such a strong sense of greed.

What is Etis doing now?Have you rested?Is it going well?

These questions ran out of my mind uncontrollably.

"Zhiqing," in a trance, someone actually lay down beside her, with a familiar body temperature and a familiar tone.

Ye Zhiqing turned his head in surprise, "Your Majesty Edith, why did you appear here?"

"I miss you, so I want to come to see you," the warm embrace that instantly wrapped Ye Zhiqing in his arms made Ye Zhiqing let go of all doubts without any resistance.

Let the longing in my heart drive my body to calm the restlessness caused by the other party.

Look, the mountains are high and the water is long, and the spring tide comes late and urgent.

"Miss Ye, Miss Ye," Lan Masu said anxiously, thinking that Miss Ye fell asleep on the grass because she was too tired, and added a thin blanket to avoid catching cold.

But when Lan Masu came to see her again, she found that Miss Ye's face was flushed and she couldn't wake up.

Finally, under Lan Masu's persistent pushing and pushing, Ye Zhi came to his senses.

Shame and astonishment.

It turned out to be a spring dream.
