Hida [Daughter of the Nile] being picked up

"I see the edge." On the third morning, Xida shouted to Izmi in surprise, "The front is gradually flattening." The hard rocks gradually smoothed and disappeared, replaced by dry loess, occasionally a few trees shriveled plants.

Prince Izmi couldn't help but smile, "Well, we've arrived in Bitaido." He stopped and took a deep breath, as if even the wind was filled with the unique flavor of Bitaido.

Joy seemed to vibrate in his chest, "Go towards the direction of the rising sun, we will be able to reach General Nashik's place tonight."

"En." The tired body was infused with new vitality, and Xida responded enthusiastically, "Let's go faster, and we can rest when we arrive earlier."

As she was walking, suddenly, she stopped and stretched out her hand to stop Izmi in front of her.

"Xilda, what's the matter, why did you suddenly stop?" Izumi asked in a low voice, feeling Shida's cautiousness.

"There is a camp ahead, with dozens of tents." Hidara Izmi squatted behind a huge protruding rock, "I always feel that there is something wrong in this kind of place."

"What kind of camp?"

"I saw dozens of horses, all of them sitting around drinking were very strong men with long beards, and there were a few women cooking beside them, knives, they all carried knives, and, if you say If it’s a merchant, I didn’t see their goods.” Xida squinted her eyes to distinguish carefully, and the more she looked, the more she felt that something was wrong. In the past time, she had traveled to many places and met all kinds of people. But this kind of barren border is not a commercial road, and there are very few pedestrians passing by. The sudden appearance of such a group of men riding horses with swords is a bit strange.

"Did you see a man with curly brown hair, an almost square face, and two beards that fell almost to his chin?" Izmi asked.

According to Xiday's words, he carefully searched the faces one by one, and soon found out, "There is one, very tall, surrounded by other people."

"It's Yin Shali, he really didn't die." Izmi said in a deep voice, "They are sand bandits."

"Sand bandits?"

"Well, Yin Shali's father was the leader of a sand bandit gang. After his father died, he succeeded his father. He was more cruel and greedy than him. They used to entrenched near the east of Bitaido, and they robbed the roads. For businessmen, women would snatch them back and play with them, and men would be brutally killed, which once caused a lot of trouble for Bitedo’s exchanges with neighboring countries, and many businessmen were so frightened that their legs went weak when they heard the name of Inshali.”

"What happened next?" Hilda asked.

"Later, the army was sent to wipe out their lair. Most of the gangsters had already been executed, but Inshali escaped with dozens of his men. His life and death were unknown. I didn't expect to meet him here. He was brave enough. You still stay in Bitedo." Izumi said coldly.

"Then if he finds out that you are Prince Bitedo, he will definitely not let us go."

"He recognized me. I personally led the army there." Izmi added with a solemn expression, "All three of his sons died at my hands."

"No one will let you go." Xida gasped, pulled Izmi's sleeve and cautiously peeked at the camp. "We'd better hide a little bit carefully, and avoid them so as not to be discovered."

Izmi's face was a bit ugly, and he said reluctantly, "This is the only way for now."

Just as he was talking, there was a sudden sound of being stepped on the sand and stones behind him. Seeing that the surroundings were bare and there was nowhere to go, Xida had no choice but to quickly pull Izmi to shrink even lower.

The voice was getting closer and closer. It was a short woman walking by the boulder.

Seeing that she was about to pass by, she casually glanced aside and met Xida's eyes.

She was dazed at first, but when she realized it, a strange color appeared on her face, pointing at them as if she was about to scream, she took two steps back and wanted to run away.

"Hmm—" Before she had time to think that Xida's body had already reacted in advance, she threw herself forward to cover the woman's mouth, hugged her twice and rolled behind the rock.

The woman stared at her face with wide eyes, struggling uncontrollably, "Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

"What happened." Izumi sat up straight and leaned forward, searching left and right in vain, trying to find clues from the blurry light.

"A woman found us." Xida licked her lips and said with difficulty, "She saw us and was temporarily subdued by me. What should we do?"

"The woman of the bandit?" Izmi was silent.

"killed."

Hearing the cold words uttered by the handsome man in front of him, the woman who was pressed by Xida stopped struggling instantly, her eyes were trembling with tears of despair.

This woman's eyes are very beautiful, very pure green, trembling slightly when soaked, even the most cruel person will be confused.

"She's just a woman." Seeing the lifeless woman below, Xida couldn't help looking at Izmi.

"Kill her, so we can leave safely." Izumi's face was expressionless, and his voice was determined to have no room for it.

Xida gritted her teeth and took out the dagger to the woman's chest, but Xida looked blankly at the person beside her. Her neck was so slender, so weak that she had no strength at all. Did she want to kill such a person? "I can't do it!" She said dejectedly, "She is just a woman, maybe she was also the daughter of a businessman, but she was just a poor person who was snatched by them. Why did the things those men do cost her life?"

"She saw us, once she told the bandits we would die." Izmi held back his anger and whispered.

"But—she hasn't done anything to us yet."

"I order you, Shida, I order you to kill her."

"You don't have the right to order me now." Xida was also a little ashamed.

"Then you want to see us all die here?" Izmi stepped forward and shouted in a deep voice, "If you don't kill her, you want her to inform the bandits, huh? Don't you want to go home?"

"But—" Xida looked at the woman helplessly, "she is a weak woman who has no ability to resist."

"Even a woman can cause serious consequences, Shida, do you have a better way to shut her up?" Izumi asked back.

"We can tie her up, yes, we can tie her up." Suddenly, Xida said happily as if she had caught something.

Almost begging, she said to Izmi, "We don't have to kill her, we can tie her up and gag her, and then we'll go, okay? Please."

"It's up to you." With a barely visible sigh, Izmi said impatiently, "Hurry up, we'll leave right away."

Xida drew out the dagger and pressed it tightly on the woman's neck, "We can spare your life, but you are not allowed to shout, you understand?" The woman hurriedly nodded her head in a panic.

Slowly let go of the hand covering the woman's mouth, but there was no movement, and Xida secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Only then did she see the woman's face clearly, she wasn't very beautiful, but she was strangely charming, especially those eyes, she stared at Xida carefully, her lips were still trembling.

"Don't move around—just like that, yes, stretch out your hand—" Xida didn't dare to relax, and said softly to the woman, and pressed down the dagger while talking.

The woman was stunned for a moment, and then slowly raised her hand - at this moment, a strange color flashed from her wide sleeves, and her expression became fierce and ferocious.

No, Xida wanted to get out of the way, but it was too late, and the sharp blade slashed across her arm.

"Catch the prince—" the woman screamed desperately.

Asshole, Xida quickly jumped up, kicked over the woman who was pulling the corner of her clothes, grabbed Prince Izmi, and ran to the side.

"Your Highness——" Hearing the sound of hooves behind her, her guilt and self-blame were about to overwhelm her. Looking at the people around her, she felt only despair.

"Don't think about it, just concentrate on running." Izmi's voice was calm, with a soothing power.

But despite their best efforts, they were caught, and it was impossible for a human being to stand out from the encirclement on four legs.

They sat on the ground with their hands tied behind their backs, surrounded by dozens of gangsters with fierce eyes.

Inshali stood at the top and looked at Izmi's face carefully. After a while, he retracted his eyes and laughed wildly, "It's really Prince Izmi, my noble prince, how could you fall into my position? In your hands? You destroyed my tent, killed my brothers, and took away my three grown sons, Prince Izmi, you dare to come to my place, God has heard me Did your prayers send you here to appease my anger? Prince Izmi, don’t worry, I will entertain you well.”

"Ferissa, you did a great job. I thought you were lying to me, but it turned out to be a prince." He praised the woman beside him approvingly, which was the one from before.

"How could I forget him, every night I dream of his disgusting face, I wish I could kill him with my own hands." The woman stared straight at Izmi with a crazy tone, "It was him, if it wasn't for him, How could my poor daughter die? If it wasn't for him, we would have lived peacefully, and my poor daughter would have been able to walk instead of being still in the flames of the scorched earth! Kill him! Kill him quickly!"

"Of course, Felisa, I only took you with so many women." Inshali stroked her hair, "I will definitely kill him, but don't worry, we have to see if we can get rid of that old man." I want more gold in my hand, are you right?"

"Yes—" the people below booed, "This bastard prince owes us so much, we have to get it back!"

"Tsk tsk, it's really strange, has Prince Izmi started taking female slaves?" Inshali's eyes suddenly shifted to Xida, and he walked up to her and squatted down to pinch her face, "You don't look very good You look so shriveled, Prince Izmi, your vision is not very good, haha."

"Stay away from him." Prince Izmi couldn't help saying in disgust, "I'll make you regret it."

"Hehe, His Royal Highness is angry." Inshali sneered, but you seem to have forgotten that now is the time for you to beg me. His subordinates exerted force, and Xida was hurt by his pinch. The prince's female slave is very rare."

"Well, I'm actually a man, but I have no clothes to wear." Seeing that the momentum was wrong, Xida quickly clarified, jokingly, she didn't want to be labeled as a prince's woman to let the bandits vent their perverted hatred.

Inshali opened his hands in disgust, looked up and down suspiciously, "a man?"

"When did you see me bring a woman by my side?" Izmi said coldly.

"It turns out that Prince Izmi still has this hobby." Inshali laughed strangely, and suddenly, stretched out his foot and kicked Izmi hard in the chest, "Lock them up!"

Izumi let out a muffled grunt and leaned against Shida, covering his eyes with loose hair.

Don't - Xida yelled frantically in her heart.

How much she wanted to rush forward to give that person a kick, but in front of such a short distance, her bound body was so useless.

Hilda had never hated herself so much for a moment.
