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

At that time, Prince Kairu, who was going through the handover procedures in the city of Malatea, clenched his fists and bit his lower lip after seeing the property of the entire city of Malatea being liquidated, wishing to leave Malatea at this moment and personally Go find Ming Xia for revenge.

Why pinch?This fellow Ming Xia, together with Sara, had robbed Xili's warehouse in advance on the night when Xi Li and the others searched for the map.The battle between Xitai and Mitanni in Malatea has benefited the fisherman Ming Xia.As the saying goes, fortune and misfortune depend on each other, that's what it looks like.

Prince Kailu looked coldly at the former guard of Malatea who was kneeling in the city hall, shivering all over his body, squinted his eyes and asked, "I ask you, the ones kidnapped by Malatea were supposed to be imported into the west station." Where are the goods of the caravan and the belongings in the city of Malatea?"

"Your Highness, this, this is really placed in the city hall." He said in a trembling voice, kneeling respectfully, with his forehead on the floor, "Originally everything was there, but it was in Your Highness. On the second night after staying in the city, they all disappeared."

"You mean, I, Xitai, took this property away?" Irbonne said sarcasticly.

"No, that's not what I meant," the prefect knelt on the ground in fright and didn't dare to look up: "I'm telling the truth, I really didn't see you that night."

In the hall of the city hall, Prince Kailu and his party now feel that their heads are very, very big. You say that the prefect is telling lies, but it doesn't look like that at all. Tell the truth, who did it?Where did things go?

Hey!It doesn't matter which night they disappeared, what matters is that this huge fortune really disappeared.

The news that the Xitai army had captured and taken over Malatya in just a few days spread rapidly throughout the various countries in the Mesopotamian Plain.

At this time, Sara and Ming Xia, who had just left Kakhmish, Mitanni, a fortress city on the banks of the Euphrates River, were happily riding camels, leisurely heading towards their next goal. Ararakh [the name of the ancient city], the territory of Phoenicia, which is the northern city of Syria in later generations.

As soon as she arrives at this city and crosses Ugarit, she will completely enter the desert area and return to the desert oasis she chose for herself in Ming Xia, the home she will live in for the rest of her life, the Bedouin.

At noon, the sun was strong, and Ming Xia and Sara, who had changed their costumes countless times, had already changed into Bedouin nomad costumes, and changed into herdsmen selling goods to go home.It is precisely because Ming Xia considered various possible situations that she prepared many sets of clothes and props in the space before she left the West Terrace, and kept tossing and tossing all the way, so she went home smoothly.

But the Xitai soldiers chasing after them and the soldiers sent by the Black Prince to assassinate them were miserable.I asked all the way, and there was no one they described: two young girls, riding a horse.And Ming Xia and Sara, whom they want to kill, are now pretending to be a young nomadic couple, driving four or five

camels and six or seven horses, carrying the purchased supplies back to the desert.

For the sake of safety, Ming Xia flashed into the space alive in the middle of the night, and based on the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine learned in the study of the space, he picked a lot of plants with natural hair dyeing effects such as henna and rehmannia, and threw them into the processing workshop. After half the night, I distressedly changed that pure silk-like beautiful silver hair into an old-fashioned tea-brown.

After waking up, Sara smacked her tongue when she saw Ming Xia in disguise, and then thought of making money before Ming Xia did, and quickly reminded: "Master Ming Xia, the things you wear to dye your hair are treasures that make money. I don't think it's any worse than Phoenician dyes."

"Well, colleagues in the Kanish Commercial Commune will not want to see you even more." Ming Xia teased Sarah in a comfortable mood.

"But the nobles from all over the world will like to see the products I bring, and I'm sure the wives of the nobles will like me even more." Sara raised her head proudly, her eyes full of confidence that she must win.

As for the members of the Sara caravan who stayed in Malatya, after completing the handover procedures in Malatya, they also began to return to Bedouin in batches.

Ming Xia and Sarah stopped and stopped along the journey, eating, drinking and drinking, so happy.

On this day, Ming Xia and Sara walked to Ugarit, and it had been a full month since Ming Xia left the West Terrace.

Ugarit is a small country between the borders of Xitai and Egypt, and is currently attached to the Xitai Empire.Ugarit is one of its port cities, where many residents and merchants from the Mediterranean coastline gathered, especially the Phoenicians and Tyrians.This is a rich port, the city is very crowded, full of voices and lively, except that people's clothes are different from those of the later generations, the rest is not much different from the prosperity of the later generations.

The Erhuo of Ming Dynasty swaggered happily in the sunshine, but the emperor of Xitai lived under the haze.Ming Xia used real personal examples to tell him a truth, never underestimate or underestimate any woman.

Then again, as for Ming Xia who left Malatea in the limelight that night, the Black Prince did not capture Xili, but he lost Malatea and was confronted by the priest Alina of the West Terrace. Provocative, after going back, I was really angry and unbearable, so I adjusted the muzzle and fired at the west platform with full firepower.The small universe of Prince Kailu did not explode according to the original script setting. Next, the situation of attacking Mitanni fell into a stalemate.

When Ming Xia heard the news, he was sitting with Sara in a tavern in Ugarit, enjoying food and wine, and commented on the gossip: "This war is a business that loses money. In conversion, it is estimated that there are several mountains."

"Oh, I don't know how long the beating will take?" Sara lay her upper body on the table, folded her arms and rested her head on it, her mouth was pouted high, her shoulders drooped and she complained and sighed: "If the beating continues like this, my merchant The team will earn a lot less gold and silver."

Taking a sip of cider, Ming Xia

While poking at the food on the plate in front of him, he picks out the ones he doesn’t like and puts them aside. He lowers his head and chats with Sara, with determination in his voice: “It won’t be long, at most a few years, Mitanni will be completely erased from the map of the Near East by Xitai."

"Eh?! Really?!" Sara was very surprised, raised her head, and looked at Ming Xia with bright eyes.

"It's not a day or two since Mitanni was targeted by Western Taiwan. In the early days of the Amarna era, the friendly diplomatic relations between Egypt and Mitanni reached their peak, and prosperity will inevitably decline. Now time flies, and the Near East is complicated. The former glory of the two countries is long gone. What's more, the royal family inside Mitanni is still in civil strife at this moment of internal and external troubles, and its relationship with its ally Egypt tends to be cold. However, the Xitai Empire is in a period of growth. stage, it urgently needs to incorporate new territory and resources to establish its position in the Near East. What's more, Assyria and Xitai, which are next to Mitanni, have already reached an agreement in secret... So, in such a situation where there are enemies and internal disputes Next, it will be a matter of time before Mitanni is captured by Xitai.”

"To fight against the outside world, one must first secure the inside, and to secure the inside is to fight against the outside. I don't understand such a simple truth. It is normal for Mitanni to be invaded by Xitai." Ming Xia recalled the history and unofficial novels he had read, and couldn't help but Send out feelings.

"What does that sentence mean? I don't understand it." Of course Sarah couldn't understand the ancient Chinese language.

Ming Xia explained with a smile: "Let me give you an example of standing on the side of the Xitai Empire and fighting against the Mitanni. The so-called anti-foreigner refers to His Majesty King Supiluliuma I who defended against foreign countries." Sovereignty of the king, resistance to Mitanni who attempted to invade the Xitai Empire in any name. The so-called Anne means that the Xitai Empire must first seek unity and stability, and cannot cause internal strife like a princess, and must ensure the king of the king Unify power, and then crusade against Mitanni who intends to invade the Xitai Empire." Seeing that Sara seemed to understand, Ming Xia asked: "Do you understand now?"

"I understand." Sara nodded and continued to fight with her food.

Seeing Sara's appearance, Ming Xia couldn't help but smile knowingly.After all, this girl has just grown up, and she still has a lot to experience in the world. Her environment is fundamentally different from Ming Xia's.This girl's outlook on the world, outlook on life, and values ​​are slowly taking shape.She Mingxia can't use the 3000 years later as the standard to mention Sarah, she can only occasionally tell her some more advanced ideas.

The process of history is always tortuous, and inevitability and chance coexist.Ming Xia believes that she is not the one who can change history, but she can adapt to history and occasionally contribute to it.

Between the two talking and laughing, lunch was almost done.

As for the points that Ming Xia mentioned just now, many of them are comments on the historical military records involved in the surrounding area that I read along with the original comics when I was a child.

But the world is biased, that is to say

Those who didn't care to listen to those who wanted to, her voice was small, but she was heard by a man with blond hair, wearing a Hittite half-knee tunic and strappy sandals sitting behind her drinking at the wine table Hear it clearly.

This man and Ming Xia are back to back, separated by an empty wine table.Because it was noon at the moment, there were very few people in the tavern, and they could be seen at a glance.

At the beginning, when he listened to Ming Xia talking about the war, there was still a hint of sarcasm on the corners of his sexy thin lips. He thought how capable a businessman could be to see the big picture.However, when he heard Ming Xia talking about the depth of the relationship between Egypt and Mitanni, talking about the changes in the pattern of the Near East in recent years, and talking about the establishment of Xitai's position in the Near East, the sarcasm on the corner of his lips Turned into astonishment and amazement.

He turned his head curiously, wanting to see who this person could have such a look and say such an opinion.But that person was dressed as a nomad, with a white turban inlaid with gold on his head, and a robe of the same color on his body. He couldn't tell whether he was a man or a woman, and that very neutral voice made him even more so. wonder.But the voice of this person is very special and clear, which makes people unforgettable once they hear it.
