The sky is bright summer on the banks of the Red River

When he woke up naturally the next day, apart from Ming Xia's five masters and servants, there was no one in the huge palace.According to Barnett's gossip, Prince Kailu was recruited into the palace for training early in the morning.After Ming Xia finished his breakfast, he said: "Anyway, it has nothing to do with us. The private life of a prince is very different from that of a civil servant. Alanna, come with me to my territory later, I want to see my How are the new varieties of fruits and vegetables grown by the slaves?"

By the time Ming Xia packed up and arrived at the outskirts territory given by His Majesty the King in a carriage with Alanna, it was almost noon.When he got to the territory, the fat butler in Mingxia's hand, Depot, recognized her at a glance, but when he saw Mingxia's meaningful eyes, he immediately turned around and ran to the territory Waiting in the manor above.

When they arrived at the manor in the territory, Alanna helped Ming Xia get out of the car, and the two walked into the house with mutual support.The butler warmly entertained the two of them, and Ming Xia proposed to go for a walk in the fields without the company of the butler Deporte.Ming Xia's master and servant were wandering around in the field, Ming Xia squatted down from time to time to observe the growth of these crops, and deliberately told Alanna a bunch of nonsense-sounding tunes.

Ming Xia knows very well that Alanna is an eyeliner in the open, because after learning of her background, Ming Xia never hides from her as long as it does not involve Ming Xia's private affairs.But this time is different. Today's visit to this manor is Ming Xia's last visit.

The master and servant went around and returned to the manor.The butler, Deporte, has already prepared a sumptuous lunch, as well as mellow wine.When Depot brought the red wine, Ming Xia noticed that the silver wine glass containing the wine was pointing in the direction of the light, and there was a thin ring of powder on the inner wall of the wine glass.

He watched Deporte pass the glass full of mellow wine to Alana, and watched Alana drink it all in one gulp.A satisfied smile flashed across Ming Xia's eyes.The two masters and servants were talking happily, and then, when Ming Xia saw that Alana's eyes began to blur, she deliberately asked Deporte to fill up a glass of wine for Alana, and finally succeeded in putting the eyeliner on the eyeliner. Fall back.

Ming Xia shook his clothes, changed his previous casualness, and sat down on the main seat solemnly and said: "Debort, listen carefully, this may be the last time I will meet you on the west stage, what I want to say next I will only Say it once, and you must remember it.”

"Yes, master, please order."

"It is estimated that in one month, Xitai will send troops to Mitanni. Your caravan is the last one I left in Xitai. I ask you to find a way after ten days after Xitai dispatched troops. Burn this manor, then leave West Terrace as soon as possible, and wait for my news in Memphis, Egypt, where the caravan of Bishklo should already be waiting."

"Yes, I understand, master. The subordinates will start preparing now, so as not to disappoint the master."

"Furthermore, you immediately give

Critia and Dilha of Kizwadna sent a message, asking them to take people to evacuate Tarsus [the city of Kizwadna] immediately. Within a day, they must leave and go to Bib in Egypt. rose. "After thinking about it, Ming Xia was afraid that her subordinates would miss the best time to leave because they would care about their belongings, and said again: "Remember, tell them to take only valuable things with them, and two or three changes of clothes are enough up.Don't draw attention. "

"Master, rest assured, all the members of the caravan will definitely arrive." Deporte replied respectfully as he knelt in front of Ming Xia with a chubby body.

"Don't contact the contacts left in the West Terrace for the time being, and talk about it later when you settle down in another place. In fact, His Majesty the King has already doubted me, so you must not do anything too abnormal. Everything goes on as usual.”

"Yeah, I got it."

"The slaves in this manor, you can deal with them yourself, and try not to hurt them if you can. The rest, you make up your own mind. If the situation is the same, we will see you in Memphis in four months." Ming Xia suppressed the joy in his heart that he was about to escape from ascending to heaven, and tried his best to keep a calm face: "As for my affairs, you don't have to worry about it. By the way, I will be drunk later, and let the maid next to me wake up first." , she belongs to His Majesty the King, let's not hurt her."

"Well, bring me some wine. I'll get myself drunk. After I pass out, you can give me the antidote. Remember to tell her that she was the one who got drunk with me."

"Yes, master, this subordinate understands." Although the fat manager answered in this way, he was still puzzled in his heart. He wondered: "I have never understood why the master has such ability, so why did he wait until now? Did you just leave West Terrace?"

"De Pott, I don't want to hide it from you. When I came here, I was alone and had nothing." Ming Xia recalled the first time and murmured to himself: "Your Majesty the King asked me to stay, and he told me He said that he needs the deterrence of theocracy to support the rule of the king, but he is also worried that the theocracy will override his kingship, so he found me, a person who has no power behind him, so that he can control it.

"At the beginning, I also thought that it would be okay to live like this. You don't have to worry about food and clothing, and you can enjoy glory. However, the temptation of kingship is too great. Look at his sons and ministers, which one is not private? From then on, no matter whether I agree or not, it is doomed to a bad ending. If I don’t agree, the current majesty will be very happy. What about the newcomer after your majesty? Promise to use me regardless of the bottom line? Will not kill me secretly when I don't want to?

"Even if I have the extraordinary magic power of a priest, as long as it is fully exposed, the people in power will try to trap me and use me. Even if I escape by luck, there will always be countless people behind me." Flies and mosquitoes followed, although I can deal with it once or twice, but who wants to live in the future?

Are you always being harassed endlessly like this?Besides, who would like to hide in the dark for a lifetime without seeing the sun? Ming Xia paused, looked at the surprise in Depot's eyes, and continued: "Depot, don't underestimate these flies and mosquitoes, as long as you are still alive in this world, they can find them.In the face of power and interests, the hearts of those in power cannot tolerate gods.

"Also, during the four years you have been in the imperial capital, with the help of the powerful, is it easier to manage the business in your hand? With a powerful person as a backer, even if you don't show up, is it necessary A lot of worry? I don’t want to leave. First, I want to use the power given to me by the King of Xitai. During this period of time, try to plan a power that belongs only to me, and completely belongs to me. Second, I want to lower the king’s vigilance The reason for my softness is to live a peaceful and comfortable life in the hidden place of the Bedouin without being disturbed. More importantly, it is to leave this center of power permanently and no longer be calculated and used.”

Ming Xia tapped on his temple, and said with a headache expression on his face: "Every day, I'm trying my best to plan, you can see those nobles, that kind of life is bright and beautiful on the outside, but there are many blood and tears on the back. It’s too tiring to live like that. I don’t want to live this kind of life, but at the beginning, I really didn’t think about it, so I spent such a long time to make up for the wrong choice at the beginning.” At that time Unfamiliar with the place and the language, it seems that there is no other choice but to stay.

"I've said so much, do you understand?"

……

When Ming Xia woke up, she felt a hangover headache, opened her eyes, and saw the familiar gauze above her head.The bed under him was exactly the one in Prince Kailu's harem for civil servants to stay in the courtyard. It was hard and uncomfortable. No matter how many quilts were spread on it, the whole body of the diaphragm would still hurt.

"Alanna, Alanna, bring me a glass of water, I'm thirsty..."

"Are you awake? Alina, you're so drunk that you scared me." Saying that, Alanna quickly helped Ming Xia up from the bed, and stuffed a few soft cushions behind her. Then he turned to pour water for her.

"What time is it now?"

"You slept drunk for two days and one night. Now, it should be the third day since Prince Senasa snatched Miss Xili." Ailana held a water glass and handed it to Ming Xia, "Now in the whole palace, only That creepy Mr. Ilbunny."

Ming Xia took a sip of water to moisten her throat, she felt pretty good, and there was nothing wrong with Alanna, so she supported her forehead and said, "Drinking too much, it's really uncomfortable. By the way, Alanna, what happened these days What's the matter?"

"There are no small things, the big things are Miss Xili's business."

"Tell me about it."

"His Majesty the King was very angry when he learned about this on the second day. According to the report of the guards guarding the gate, Prince Senasa took Miss Xili to the direction of Kaneka on horseback." Alana talked about gossip also

Excitedly dancing: "Prince Kailu asked himself to chase His Highness Senasa back, so they all chased me when you took me to the manor to drink."

"The weather is so hot? I don't know how long they can last." Ming Xia stretched his waist: "It's dawn now, what delicious food did you prepare for me for breakfast?"

"Alina, are you drowsy?" Alana took the cup from Ming Xia in surprise and held it in her hand, and was almost scared to the ground by these words: "It's already evening , we will have dinner in a while."

"Look at me, I'm really sleepy." Ming Xia smiled mischievously, grabbed the clothes thrown by the bed and put them on, and then went to the courtyard to enjoy her quiet time.

After eating Alanna's considerate dinner, Ming Xia lay alone on the bed in the room, guessing that the two caravans in Kizwardena should have escaped smoothly at this time.In this way, when the time is right, she pretends to die on the battlefield, then takes a boat from Sardis, runs in the opposite direction, and wanders in the sea for a period of time before landing on land. In this way, she will always be safe many.

The reality is still to come step by step.Now everyone's attention is focused on those few topical characters. As far as Yu Mingxia is concerned, she wishes she could stay like this forever.However, there are some people who are not used to her life like raising pigs these days.

On this day, it has been ten days since the incident happened. I heard that Kizwardena's situation has stabilized smoothly. Mingxia is still as usual, laying out carpets under the shade of trees in the small yard, and then listening to Alana played the harp for her to pass the boring waiting time before leaving.
