There is always a crossing that suits you

Kailu didn't think about it for a long time, or he didn't have time to think about it for a long time.Because on the second day of his "showdown" with Qiao Mu, a letter of credentials from Egypt caught everyone off guard.

When attacking Mitanni before, Egypt did not send reinforcements for a long time due to internal problems.Of course, he is not here to seek justice for the black prince, even the Egyptian Queen Mother Nefertiti, the black prince's love-hate sister, Tanduya.

However, this letter was not written by Queen Mother Nefertiti, but by the 19-year-old Princess Akenami of Egypt.Her husband, the young King Tutanfu, was assassinated during the political struggle.She has no children with the other party. For the continuation of the dynasty, she must remarry the royal family or a powerful nobleman. She is unwilling to marry a retainer or any Egyptian, because any of them may be the murderer of her husband.After hearing that Supilulius I had many princes, the beautiful and helpless princess decided to write a letter asking him to let a prince be her husband. This prince will become the king of Egypt. If he gives birth to an heir, Their children will be the hub linking the relationship between the two countries.

So there was the above-mentioned scene of "seeking a husband from a thousand miles away".

But now that the crown prince of Xitai died, the battle for the throne had reached a feverish stage, and the birth of this letter of credence undoubtedly opened up a new situation.

After figuring out that the Egyptian princess was not playing with him, but really wanted to get married, King Xitai decided to choose a prince to go there.So he immediately notified the Council of Elders to hold a meeting. King Xitai was still happy to have a son who could become a pharaoh, no matter how long the pharaoh could be.

The content of the Egyptian princess's letter was known to Qiao Mu through spies before the Egyptian envoy arrived at the West Terrace. Apart from deeply feeling that the Egyptian princess was unreliable, he just wanted to light [wax] for Ramses.Let the prince of a feuding country become the king of his own country, what a weird brain circuit to think of it?Not to mention whether the airborne "king" can take over the government smoothly, just relying on the ruthless fight between Xitai and Egypt... This is the rhythm of going and worrying about his life!Ramses has been aiming at the pharaoh's position all the time. How could such an ambitious person allow an airborne prince to overwhelm him?Single and weak, with no relatives, it hurts to think about it.

However, Qiao Mu naturally wouldn't complain about his inner complaints, and he came to the Yizheng Hall calmly, and no one could see his heart as a beast galloped past.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Kailu's face turn pale, Qiao Mu asked suspiciously.He didn't think that the conversation last night would cause the other party to have a pale face all day long.

"Sai Nasha..." Kailu looked at Qiao Mu who showed concern, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes. "Father wants me to go to Egypt to marry the princess of Egypt."

"..." Hearing this, Qiao Mu immediately looked at Kailu up and down with eyes that looked stupid. Is it really his brother who is so stupid? "Who did you listen to? The Egyptian princess is obviously just writing a letter to let a prince be her husband. Of course, she also said that this prince will become the king of Egypt."

"...Princess Nakiya said..." Kailu didn't continue, because he found that his younger brother was looking at him with eyes that you really are an idiot.

"She just wants to see you make a fool of yourself. How could the father let you go to Egypt?" You are the best heir to the next throne. It is tantamount to exile in disguise. "It's more likely that I will go."

"Senash!" Kailu yelled nervously.

"Why is brother nervous? Are you worried about me?" Qiao Mu smiled and raised his eyebrows, "I thought brother would ignore me from now on."

"I..." Thinking of the conversation last night, Kailu was a little overwhelmed, but he was still not distracted, "Don't go to Egypt, stay by my side."

"Brother, aren't you afraid that I will compete with you for the throne? Xiu Da is too young, and Royce Dillino's status is low. If I go to Egypt, the throne must belong to my brother."

"I just want you by my side, it doesn't matter if I don't have the throne." It's not that I don't want to be on the throne and have the supreme power. [Becoming the king of Xitai] has always been his goal. Over the past 20 years, this has been his ideal. His mother, concubine and subordinates also look forward to him becoming a wise monarch.But... If ascending to the throne is at the cost of sacrificing Senasa, he would rather give it up.

"Brother, do you know what you're talking about?" Qiao Mu couldn't believe it. You must know that he had imagined many scenes of falling out with Kailu, such as meeting strangers, being imprisoned, and so on. Of course, he hadn't thought that Kailu would end up Unable to let him go, he chose to give up the throne, but he never thought that the other party would let go so simply.It was because he knew that "ascending to the throne" for the other party was not only a pursuit of power but a goal of life, he was so surprised, a little moved and sweet in his heart.

"Sainasa is more important than anything else."

"I, I won't give up the throne as soon as I'm moved by your words." Qiao Mu's face was slightly hot, and he turned his head away from the people around him in embarrassment, "It's not that you can't go to Egypt if you don't want to go, the prince of the right age Among them, only I am more suitable, so is it possible that you want to replace me?"

"You want me to go to Egypt..."

"Of course not!" Qiao Mu's eyes widened, and he said abruptly, "I won't let you leave me!"

"Yes." Kailu responded softly, full of unspeakable pampering.

When the atmosphere between the two brothers tended to become ambiguous, King Xitai's words broke the unspeakable atmosphere.

The old but still tough King Xitai retained his military style, decided to send the prince to Egypt vigorously, and asked the courtiers for suitable candidates.The princess, who dislikes Kailu everywhere, nominates Kailu first, and the king of Xitai will naturally not let his favorite heir be sent to Egypt.Although he is now afraid that the other party will seize his throne, he is a glorious emperor after all, and he is not so old and confused that he does not know that Kailu is the most suitable heir to the throne.

"Is there a fairer way?" So King Xitai asked.

Although it was a question, on the surface it was intended to give all the princes a chance to be pharaohs, but all the shrewd courtiers knew that this was a disagreement with the princess's proposal. [It seems that His Majesty still prefers Prince Kailu. 】Many ministers secretly wondered whether they should stand in line.

"Your Majesty, why not use chariot races to select the princes to send to Egypt. Chariot races are a game to determine the brave, and it is also a very popular competition. The prince who wins will definitely be accepted by Egypt." A minister suggested.

Everyone knows that the fourth prince of Xitai, Sai Na Shawei, relies on the army. Now if he wins, he will be sent to Egypt. As for losing?That would be even better, how could the brave Xitai soldiers worship and obey a loser?This is an outright conspiracy against Qiao Mu.

King Xitai pondered for a moment, then nodded and approved the proposal.Seeing that the king agreed, a group of elders also found out the king's attitude towards the candidate for the crown prince, and they all agreed.

"Sanasha..." Kailu is not an idiot, he naturally saw the twists and turns inside, looked at his younger brother worriedly, wanted to reach out to touch him but dared not.

"It's okay." Qiao Mu smiled at Kailu, as if he didn't understand anything, and he didn't show the slightest hint of frustration.He knew very well that his birth was his flaw, and those pretentious nobles would not accept the son of a slave girl to rule them, so there was no need to feel sorry for what had been expected. "My brother has to take care of himself after I go to Egypt."

"Sai Nasha, what are you talking about? I won't let you leave!" Kailu was startled, and without hesitation, he immediately grabbed Qiao Mu's shoulders with both hands, "Don't you want to be king? I will let you wear The one who wears the crown!"

"Brother." Qiao Mu sighed softly, "It's not like I won't come back, why are you so excited?"

Pulling away the hands that were restraining his body, Qiao Mu pointed to the many elders in the hall and said, "As you can see, those people don't want me to take the throne. Our father and king just used me as a shield, and now he is just a There is a better place to put me."

"It's better to go to Egypt to avoid the limelight this time, so as to save these people from finding fault with me all day long. But I won't just accept my fate like this. It's not easy to be an Egyptian pharaoh. I don't want to go to Egypt at all. Don't worry, I will There are arrangements."

"But, what if..."

"Okay, don't worry." This person obviously looked disappointed to the end yesterday, but now he wants to keep himself. I really don't know how to evaluate it.But it's nice to have someone who cares about you and loves you. "Didn't Big Gray Wolf say that? I will come back."

"Big Big Wolf?"

"Oh, it's a type of desert animal, similar to a desert fox."

————————————————————————————————————————

The winner of the battlefield race is naturally Qiao Mu. He is invincible in the battlefield competition. Even if Kailu tries hard to catch up, he will be powerless after all.So the current situation is that Qiao Mu is about to give up the throne of Xitai and leave for Egypt, of course it is in the eyes of most people.

"Your Highness, please let me follow you." Irene knelt in front of Qiao Mu with tears in her eyes. "Why Teddy can follow you around, but I want to stay."

"Irene, I have a task for you." Qiao Mu felt a little headache. It's a good thing for subordinates to be loyal, but it's hard to do things like this all the time. "I'm going to leave Xitai for a period of time. During this period of time, I want you to be in charge of my power. Don't let people lose your mind."

"And you too." Qiao Mu stroked the short hair of a chariot captain, "Irene is in charge of intelligence, and you are in charge of the army. I'm only away for a short period of time. It's almost like going to a war. Don't worry about me. Take this opportunity to single out those who are not firm and have different intentions."

"Abandon these people and act as if they are powerless to resist. It is impossible for those people in the Presbyterian House to pull out all our forces at once. Even if I leave them, I will be afraid. We use their hands to integrate resources."

"Irene, the work of you and Kaxiu is very important and irreplaceable. I have to let you stay, don't disappoint my expectations." Qiao Mu stroked the smooth long hair of the female officer like a small animal, "You are my rear, there must be no omissions."

"...Yes." Irene choked up and said, she knew that her highness had made up her mind, and the only thing she should do now is to fulfill his highness's entrustment.

"Your Highness." Kaxiu said stubbornly with obvious sadness, even whimpering in his voice, "Please let me follow you around."

"Kaxiu, after I leave, many people will be restless. I will entrust you with such an important rear area, can't you hold it for me?" Qiao Mu's voice became serious, and the only person he really trusted in the army was Kaxiu. , The archer captain is Kailu's man, and some things are more assured by his own man. "Do what you should do and wait for me to come back!"

"...Yes." I tried my best to climb higher, just to be by your side.But is it still going to be abandoned now?I will follow your order to protect your things, but please don't break your promise, otherwise I don't know what I will do.

In the final analysis, Kaxiu is still the little boy born in the slums, with fierce eyes and persistent belief like a wolf.Qiao Mu thought that he had grown him into a big dog over the years, but a wolf was still a wolf after all.Just waiting for a day when the master can't suppress it, he will show his fangs.
