How terrifying it was when the people around her died one by one, how terrifying it was that she was almost thrown into the Nile by Rama, and what would the tyrannical King of Cush do to her if, if she died, would he be sad, and the young man who grabbed her laughed openly, almost dragging Ivy up from near the head pillar, leaving her feet off the ground, and only letting him drag her to hang in the air, her long silver hair hanging down to her feet, and her white skirt fluttering with his rough movements.Warm, firm fingers wrenched Ivy's chin without mercy.He was dressed in a short white coat with two leather wristbands tied around his forearms, which were faintly engraved with gold patterns.His skin was a healthy bronz, and a pair of piercing eyes peeked through the white head cloth, like an eagle staring at Ivy as if it were looking at its prey."
You are the princess of Egypt" The young voice was puzzled, "Why do you look so strange" Her arms were torn and her jaw was uncomfortably tight, Ivy couldn't help but want to scold, her brows furrowed tightly, "I'm not, let me go" "Don't lie to me." ”The young man muttered, let go of the hand that was holding Ivy's chin, grabbed the placket of Ivy's collarbone with one hand, and with a sudden force, he actually suspended her on the turbulent Nile River beside him, "You were really amazing just now, you broke a lot of my brothers, if you weren't a princess, I would have released you immediately and let you fall into the Nile to feed the crocodiles." ”Ivy's scalp tingled.She is not afraid of water, but her only drawback is that she can't swim, and she is afraid that if she falls like this, she will drown herself if she can't wait to see any living creatures.She couldn't help but feel upset, but if she admitted that she was an Egyptian princess, what would happen to her, and she didn't even know what the identity of the person in front of her was.At this time, she suddenly saw that Dongya, who had been left behind by her earlier, turned back, standing motionless, looking at the scene in front of her at a loss.She couldn't help but complain, what did he do when he came back, did he think the situation was not chaotic enough" Ah" Seeing what he wanted to say, Ivy was afraid that he would habitually call out the word "Your Highness", so that there was no choice left, wouldn't it be more passive, so she hurriedly covered it with a louder voice."
AhhThere was displeasure in the man's eyes, "Are you a princess of Egypt or do you really want me to throw you underneath" "Rama is almost cleaned up." ”Suddenly there was a strange Egyptian accent in his ears, and the man named Rama and Ivy turned their heads together, only to see several other men in white and hooded heads walking from not far away.Ivy was stunned for a moment, the bridge was obviously broken, how did these people come Rama nodded, "Then you can drive a few more Ferrokas and transport things over quickly."
By the way, let's see which brothers still fell into the water and didn't come up. ”After another pause, he added, "Those who are dead, bury them." ”The man in white bent down and gestured, then turned and retreated.Ivy looked in the direction they had receded, and nearly a hundred meters away from the wooden bridge, she could faintly see several small white boats.The boat is simple, and it can seat about four or five people on it, and it should be driven by the wide white sails on the ship.It turned out that the mysterious attackers were traveling back and forth through this ship.Just thinking about it, Ivy's body trembled again, and she was immediately so frightened that her palms were sweaty, and she hurriedly clasped Rama's wrist tightly, and said to him calmly with all her might: "I am not the princess of Egypt, the princess was killed by you just now." ”Rama let out an "oh", and was about to let go of the hand that was holding Ivy and let her fall into the river, but Ivy shouted anxiously, "But, but this does not prevent me from being treated as a princess by you." ”"What" Rama pulled Ivy tight again when she heard this, and slammed her on the ground by the river, "What do you mean by that" Ivy glanced at Winter, and saw that he was smart and no longer intended to speak, and then slowly stood up, "You can be useful to the Egyptian princess" She was satisfied to see the dark brown eyes behind the white headcloth flickering slightly, "Anyway, the real princess was already killed by you, I can play the role of the Egyptian princess for you." ”She paused for a moment, then hurriedly continued, "But I have one condition. ”"Condition" Ivy turned her head slightly to the side and pouted at the young man with light brown hair on one side, "The young man here, his name is Dong, he is my brother, and he grew up with me since he was a child.We were the princess's attendants, and we were the only two children in the house.We don't ask for anything too big either, just that you make sure to keep us safe after using us. ”He was silent, his dark brown eyes looking thoughtfully at the fair-skinned boy beside Ivy.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ivy pretended not to stand firm, took a step forward, took advantage of the situation to grab the white cloth on his head with one hand, and pulled away the obstacle that blocked his face with lightning speed.A gust of wind blew at the right time, and the white headcloth was swept into the air and drifted away.Ivy held her breath and looked at the man in front of her.She had to keep his face firmly in her mind's mind, with his bronzed skin, slightly long but angular face, long nose, slightly thick lips, and dark brown eyes as sharp as an eagle."
Gushiman" Ivy stared at his short dark brown hair with slightly curly hair, and her mind suddenly became confused.Remembering the strange style of arrows he had seen earlier, and the gesture of him pulling his bow with arrows in the air, it should have occurred to me that the Nubians were famous for their powerful archery in this ancient era.But why didn't he marry Gushi, wasn't Gushi a vassal of Egypt, why did the Gushi people come to kidnap him on the way, and the young man tilted his head, and his thick eyebrows were deeply locked.He ignored Ivy's question, and only threw a sentence at several Nubian men behind him: "This, I'll watch it myself, grab the one next to you, don't let him run away." ”It seemed that her and Dong's lives would not be in danger for the time being, Ivy breathed a sigh of relief, and then very strangely found that Dong, who was standing on the side, was already too nervous to move, and let the two Nubians tie him up and drag him away.I can't count on him at this time.At the Karnak Temple, I thought he had a lot of courage, maybe he would come forward unexpectedly on some critical occasion, and it seemed that these hopes were in vain.Ivy looked back at the man in front of her who was also looking at her, Rama smiled contemptuously, showing her white teeth, "You say you're a maid, but you're gorgeously dressed, don't think I don't remember your dress when you threw all your trinkets on the side of the bridge."
But it doesn't matter, you're right, I don't care if you're a real princess or not, as long as you admit that you are. ”"Look at the way I look," Ivy pointed to her face, "I was born so strangely, I don't look like an Egyptian at all."
That's why my family didn't want me and my brother, and forced us to be slaves. ”She frowned and said with a serious look, "Later, I heard that the princess who married this time also looked very strange, and it was even rumored that she was not of the royal family's lineage, so I was sent on the road by mistake to be a stand-in for the princess." ”Immediately afterwards, she squeezed out a pitiful look, "Now that the princess has also been killed by you, I lost my job to make a living, but you arrested me." ”The Nubian was stunned for a moment, and there was a strange look in his brown eyes, which was extremely fast, but it was still keenly noticed by Ivy, and it was when she said "not the bloodline of the royal family", and there was a look of disgust and resentment in his eyes.Before he could react to why, he muttered: "Is it that even a princess who has a concubine disdains to marry Gu Shi" Immediately after, he changed his words, reached out and picked up Ivy's hair, and said with interest while looking at it: "It is said that the hair of the Egyptian princess is silver, and your hair looks golden at first glance in the sun." ”The golden Ivy was suddenly stunned, and a pair of light gray eyes looked at Rama blankly.Rama paused, and then grabbed Ivie's hair fiercely for no reason, and her snort was close at hand, "You said you weren't Princess Ivy, so what is your name" The sudden pain on her scalp made Ivy almost scream, and Rama's voice lost the lightness of Fang Cai, "Say, otherwise you won't live." ”"Nefertari" panicked, only the name jumped into his mind, and Ivy shouted without thinking, "My name is Nefertari, Nefertari let go of me" "Nefertari" Rama snorted from his nose, and the hand that was holding Ivy by the hair slowly let go, "That queen" "You've seen her" From Rama's subtle tone, Ivy found a hint of specialness.If Rama was just an ordinary thief, how could he talk about the name Nefertari in such a tone is a very common Egyptian female name, so even if it has the same name as the queen, it is nothing remarkable.Coupled with Rama's words just now, his identity couldn't help but become more and more suspicious."
What nonsense" Rama turned his head to the side, and watched with satisfaction as the other Nubians rode towards this side on the "Ferroka", carrying heavy booty, "There are not a few Egyptian women with this name, let's go." ”He lifted Ivy up, and then easily hung it on his shoulder, "Nefertari, whether you lied to me just now or not, you have been the princess of Egypt for the past two days, you play this role well, maybe I will let you go as soon as the matter is over." ”"Hmm" Ivy was hanging on his shoulder, just because she had been moving too violently on the bridge just now, and now she felt a nausea in her stomach as he shook step by step."
I" "You have to be obedient, otherwise I will never spare you." ”Rama ignored Ivy's words, and just spoke to herself, following a group of Nubians, also dressed in white, into the depths of the West Bank.Ivy slapped him on the back hard, whining and couldn't make a sound, Rama felt irritable in his heart, and said a little impatiently: "What are you doing" "I want to vomit" Although Ivy still spit on Rama's white short clothes, but perhaps because she still has the value of use, the Nubian youth with an iron face at that time did not pull out the sharp arrow on his back and pierced her throat directly.Rejoicing in her great fortune, Ivy endured the resentment of being tied up, gagged, and "carried" by two Nubians all the way.Walk west-south on the west bank.After four or five days of resting due to the unusually hot and difficult journey, a little green finally appeared in a barren desert, and the group went around several sand dunes to unfold a particularly precious oasis in front of them.Ivy only glanced at it for a few moments, and she felt that this oasis was very special.It is already quite a distance away from the Nile, but the road is very desolate, and there are not even the plants commonly found in the desert, which means that there is no water source underground in this area, and ordinary people will definitely turn back if they go here, because it will be dangerous to continue walking.However, all the way in, I did not encounter quicksand, but gradually saw a little strange green color, and entered the oasis, only to find that there is abundant water here, and there is even a large lake and fountain in the center of the oasis.It's a real gem.Ivy thought as she was being carried into the oasis.Around the water source in the center of the oasis are several simple mud houses, and the rest are tents that don't even count as houses.Ivy saw several houses with half-hidden gates used as stables, and they were full of more than a dozen brightly colored horses, about a hundred and ten, which was quite a large herd in this era.In the blink of an eye, it seemed that the village was full of young and strong laborers, and everyone was busy carrying something, with bundles of bows and arrows, spears, and some simple but strong shields, and so on.When the group entered the village, the Nubian youth in white carried the "spoils" he was carrying into the house.Rama seemed to be commanding them in a loud voice, but the language was not the Egyptian they had been speaking.Cush was a vassal state of Egypt, and since this is the border between Egypt and Cush, it is not surprising that people speak both languages.However, Rama's Egyptian language is clearly more standard than the others.Ivy was concentrating on her thoughts, when Rama said something to the two Nubians who were carrying her, and then the two men swerved and carried Ivy towards a low mud house not far away.After a few moments, they had thrown Ivy to the floor of the hut.The mud and straw floor, with sand scattered in them, is surrounded by walls that are seamless, with only a very narrow vent and a tight seal of bronze columns.Before Ivy could get used to her "new abode", a sturdy Nubian walked in and threw the very strong bundle of Winter to the ground, "Rama, you guys, stay here. ”Staccato words, strange pronunciations, Ivy roughly guessed what he meant was Rama ordering her to be locked up here with Winter.Seeing the Nubian take a step forward and draw a short knife from his waist, Ivy was startled, and instinctively twisted her tightly bound body and dodged backwards.But the man grabbed her by the shoulder, reached out and slashed at her.Ivy closed her eyes suddenly, only to feel a cold sweat on her back, but the next second she found that the rope that bound her had been cut.And the man also removed the rope from Dong's body in three times and five by two."
Ramah, do no harm."
Is it Rama who means that he won't hurt them, Ivy nodded hurriedly, and replied to him in the way the big man spoke, "Okay, don't hurt."
We're here. ”The Nubian man nodded, and walked out with the other two Nubians, seemingly satisfied.The door closed, and only the rattle of the bronze chains was heard, and she and Winter were locked in place.Ivy chose a place to sit on her own.Winter stood up, walked up to Ivy, and respectfully half-knelt down, "Your Highness, I'm sorry" Ivy put her index finger on her mouth and made a "shhh" lip shape, "Be careful, you still call me Nefertari." ”Dong paused for a moment, then nodded, Junxiu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "I actually encountered such a mysterious team attack, fortunately you are safe." ”"It seems that it's not as simple as trying to kill people for money."
Ivy's gray eyes rolled, "Do you notice that they have plenty of horses, sophisticated weapons, strict discipline, and plenty of middle-aged labor, if they are just thieves, how can they have such an organization" Winter didn't speak."
This is the border of the country, and any government that wants to interfere has to be extra careful."
Ivy looked up through the vents, green trees blocking out the slanting sunlight, "Although this place may seem remote, it is not far from the foot of the Nile, and it is one of the few oases in the desert with plenty of water. ”Winter smiled shyly and scratched his short light brown hair, "Your Highness Nefertari, I think" In the middle of speaking, there was a sudden sound of chains moving at the door.Ivy and Dong quickly exchanged glances, and then sat apart in tacit agreement, no longer speaking.After a moment, I saw the wooden door being pushed open vigorously.The loud voice of "Nefertari" sounded in the doorway, and the Nubian man from earlier stood in the doorway, his sturdy body standing taller in front of the narrow door.Hearing this, Ivy couldn't help but raise her head slightly, looking at the man with eyes as sharp as an eagle."
It's been decided, let's leave tomorrow."
Ivy was stunned, where to set off, didn't they just be taken captive here According to the general bridge, how can it be delayed for a few days, so that people can familiarize themselves with the environment and think of countermeasures, why bother to leave in such a hurry Rama seemed to guess her confusion, and explained bluntly: "I want to use you to recapture the border passes controlled by Egypt, and if the time is delayed for a long time, Pharaoh will always find out, send a messenger to explain your false identity or give up your life, then you will be of no use at all." ”With that, he stepped forward, grabbed Ivy's thin arm, and pulled her to her feet and walked out the door."
Hey, where are you going" Leaving Winter, Ivy couldn't help but be a little panicked, and her gray eyes looked at Rama in front of her uneasily.The young Nubian was a little embarrassed and relaxed the strength of his hand slightly, "What are you afraid of, after I said that you helped us, I will let you go, and I will definitely let you go safely."
I'm just going to make sure you're going to be with us that day. ”There was a black line on Ivy's face, apparently thinking that he had not seen the bloody slaughter of the Nubian entourage in Egypt.But looking at the current appearance of himself and Dong, he can only follow him step by step.His purpose was obvious, but to blackmail the princess into threatening Egypt's important border passes, so as to break Egypt's defenses.But what plans did he have after that, with the strength of his current army, Ramses could easily crush him to pieces as long as he dispatched any of the four major legions.If so, his efforts to seize the fortresses on the Egyptian border would have been only a short-lived victory.At this stage, not worrying about whether Pharaoh's life would be threatened, Ivy followed Rama to the door.It was still noon, the breeze was blowing, the sun was shining through the gaps in the leaves, and the golden light jumped on the girl's silver hair, reflecting a faint glow like gold.Rama leaned slightly sideways and secretly glanced at Ivy, and the moment their eyes met, he pretended to be calm and looked away, as if he had dropped a sentence very majestically: "For a while, you have to listen well and cooperate well."
If you yell and ruin my plans, I'm sure you'll break you two to pieces. ”Ivy froze for a moment, then nodded with a smile, seemingly unmoved by Rama's threat.Judging by the way he relaxed his grip on her hand, he may not be a heinous villain.Besides, if he wanted to kill her, he could have killed her on the banks of the Nile, so why bother to bring her back, she must be useful.So, as she walked, she once again looked at Rama from behind.Although he wears white clothes and a white headcloth like everyone else, his leather bracers are delicately carved with golden patterns.Thinking back to what happened just now, I feel that his identity is not ordinary.Although he is young, he shoots well and is wise and brave, and is obviously the leader of the entire white-clad team.More importantly, he spoke Egyptian fluently, and was well informed and interested in Egyptian politics, which is by no means possible for ordinary wild pirates.Thinking of this, she couldn't help but subconsciously slow down."
Hey, hurry up."
Rama turned her head and tugged at Ivy again.Instead, Ivy stood still, raised her head, and asked Rama, "What is your relationship with Gush" Rama paused, her face became unnatural, "It has nothing to do with you." ”This reply seemed to further confirm Ivy's thoughts.From her earlier observations, she believed that Rama would have some special background, perhaps as a nobleman, or some connection to the royal family.From what she had known earlier, King Cush would not dare to rebel against Egypt.Nubia, which was already quite chaotic internally, could become king, presumably betraying the country for glory and accepting Egypt's support on the condition of obedience.Then Rama must have been disgusted with some of the actions of King Cush for some reason, and came out to form an organization similar to the rebels, but in this way, his rebels were not only rebelling against Cush, but also against Egypt.Establish a foothold on the border of the two countries and confront them at the same time.Without the support of other forces behind him, Rama's actions are tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.Ivy looked straight and decided to wrestle with Rama a few more rounds to set up his words.So she pretended not to understand Rama's explanation, and asked lightly: "So, what do you want me to do?"
Rama paused, and then replied to her helplessly: "I will tell you that you are not allowed to stop here by yourself." ”Ivy tilted her head, "It's good here, can't you say it here" "You woman really talk a lot" Rama walked up to Ivy a little frustrated, stretched out her strong hands, regardless of her surprise and objections, took her in her arms, and walked forward faster, "This kind of important thing, how can I say it casually outside, I don't want people to hear it" "What are you doing" Ivy buzzed in her head, and instinctively pushed Rama's strong chest with her hand, "Where are you going, I'll follow you."
Put me down. ”"Don't," Rama replied firmly, "if I carry you, I'm afraid you'll vomit on me again; If you are asked to go, and you refuse to go, then I have no choice but to do so. ”His hands tightened her grip tighter, holding her firmly in his arms, and he walked briskly through the oasis.After a while, the two of them arrived at a relatively spacious room.Although the manner and quality of construction are similar to those of other houses, it is clear that Rama, as the leader of the Nubians, lived in a house that was relatively elaborately built.Clean mud bricks, a ceiling made of wood and grass, a neat wooden door, and a full feather hanging in the center of the wooden door.It's like Rama's house number, which proves his status.As if aware of Ivy's attention to the decorations at the door, Rama casually explained as she carried Ivy into the house, "That feather was given to me by the bravest warrior of Kush when I was an adult, and he asked me to use it to make an arrow, of course, it wasn't really an arrow."
But I liked the shape so much that I didn't want to actually set it on top of other objects. ”As soon as he finished speaking, he had already put Ivy on the floor covered with a simple carpet, then took a step back, sat in front of her casually, exhaled loudly, and spoke before Ivy had time to say anything: "Don't be nervous, I won't hurt you if I say it, you can listen to me now." ”Ivy nodded, and sat down obediently in front of Rama without asking any more questions.But seeing the brightly colored and full feather just now, Ivy only felt that Rama had more suspicions.She decided not to continue to ask, she was confident that if she continued like this, Rama's identity would be discovered by her sooner or later, and there was no need to rush it.Seeing that Ivy finally obeyed his command, Rama couldn't help but show a relieved smile, and her big strong hand couldn't help but reach out, gently touching Ivy's silver hair, and muttering: "That's how girls should be." ”While Ivy was still stunned, he continued, "To cut a long story short, I'm going to attack Abu Simbel in three days, and you're the first person in the army to know this information right now.Abu Simbel had a fortress that was an important gateway to Egypt and was very difficult to take.But if it is taken, it will not be easy for Egypt to attack Gush from here.I want you to pretend to be a princess of Egypt, and at the fortress, I want to use you to weaken the fighting power of the Egyptian soldiers. ”Rama quickly recounted his plan to Ivy, pausing in between, and her dark brown eyes stared straight into Ivy's pale gray eyes, as if to make sure she understood what he was saying.Ivy couldn't help but bow slightly, "I understand what you said, so what other role do I have besides being a prop" When she first heard Ivy's answer, Rama was almost a little surprised on her face, and then her surprise turned into a smile.He couldn't stop nodding, and even said with a little approval: "I didn't expect you, as a slave, to understand very well.Yes, you're a bargaining chip for me, but you have to be careful not to make any strange moves, such as being very inappropriate for princesses.In the entire legion, I am the only one who knows that you are not the real princess, and I don't want you to divulge this secret" In other words, except for Rama, who thinks that Ivy is a maid named Nefertari and a stand-in for the princess, everyone else will think that Ivy is the real princess.But from another point of view, Rama is the only one who is kept in the dark.Thinking of this, Ivy couldn't help but feel a little funny in her heart.She held back a smile and said, "Then, aren't you afraid that I will send a message to Ramses" She raised her eyebrows slightly, "Superficially obey your will, buy off your men, and betray your plans to Ramses." ”Rama paused, followed by a frustrated laugh from Ivy."
What the hell are you laughing at?"
the girl pouted, staring at Rama with a little dissatisfaction.Rama had white teeth, which were rare in ancient times, Ivy thought.At this moment, the young Nubian smiled vigorously, and naturally reached over to pat Ivy on the head.Ivy deftly ducked to the side and asked again, "What are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing," Rama sighed, "didn't you feel it when you came, even if you ride a fast horse here, it will take two days to reach Abu Simbel."
It would take at least two days to reach Thebes, where Pharaoh was located, from Abu Simbel.Even if you go out and tell the news now, that man will have to gallop for four days and four nights without eating or drinking without being discovered by us to get the news to Pharaoh, and it will take more than three days to gather his army and march to Abu Simbel.But the date we're going to leave is," he paused deliberately, a smile missing from his dark brown eyes."
Tomorrow."
The faint two words made Ivy's heart beat slightly.Although he knew that Rama's strength could not compete with Ramses, even if he was excellent in war, an ordinary disturbance would not threaten Ramses' life.But she inhaled deeply, trying her best to calm her heart.But Rama continued energetically: "Ramses has long been aware of our existence, and it is for this reason that the previous battle has been at a disadvantage.However, this time all the sources of information that may have flowed out have been cleared, and even my soldiers do not know the detailed plans for tomorrow's expedition, and I must take Abu Simbel by surprise" He, has he already noticed At this moment, there was a gentle knock at the door.Rama gave Ivy a quick look, motioning for her not to say more, then leaned back a little more and said no more.After a while, I saw the wooden door slowly pushed open, and a black-haired girl walked in.Ivy looked at it, and the person who came was about the same age as herself, with pale brown skin, black and white eyes, long and thick eyelashes, and her face was not like a Nubian, but more like a girl in southern Egypt.She was also wearing a long white dress, and a cherry red hairband playfully tied her long black hair back at the back of her head.With water and bread in her hand, she walked into the room with ease, her dark eyes staring at Ivy all the time.After a while, she turned her face away and gave Rama a lovely smile, with shallow dimples on either side of her cheeks, "Here's the food." ”"Oh, thank you."
Rama gestured to the low cabinet beside the bed.The girl carefully placed the kettle and bread on the cupboard, took a few steps back, tilted her head to look at the two of them and thought about it, and then sat down on the floor."
I drew the water fresh from the spring, and the bread was baked in the morning, and it tastes better now."
As she spoke, her gaze never left Ivy, and her eyes flashed with curiosity or wariness.Rama said something to her in Nubian, and when the girl looked up, she replied in Egyptian: "I'll stay here for a while, and I'll stay here when you eat." ”After that, she simply supported her chin with her hands and looked at Ivy with a hint of a smile."
Eat, or you'll be hungry."
Ivy couldn't help but look at Rama with some hesitation, Rama stood up, took the food from the cupboard, reached out and took a piece of bread, ate a few bites, and took a long sip of water.The girl smiled happily, "Rama, it's delicious" Ivy knew that Rama knew that she was worried that she would be poisoned, and eating these two bites actually made her greatly relaxed, and she couldn't help but feel a little relieved by his small and considerate gesture.Thinking that on the banks of the Nile, he asked his subordinates to bury the corpses of the Egyptian soldiers he accompanied him one by one.He didn't enjoy the killing, and perhaps he just didn't want the news to leak out, as he said.Although it is cruel, there is no way to do it when the two armies meet."
Maybe he's not the kind of evil person," Ivy gradually thought in her heart.At this time, Rama turned around and said softly to Ivy, "Ivy, eat." ”Ivy nodded, then reached for a piece.The girl's eyes widened and she looked at Ivy, "You are Princess Ivy At first I heard people say this, I thought it was a joke" Then, in a panic, she stood up in a panic and made a big bow to Ivy in an Egyptian way.The bread that she got to her mouth was put down by Ivy again, and she quickly stood up, picked up the girl in front of her, and asked softly: "Are you Egyptian?"
The girl smiled happily, "Yes."
My name is Lotus.But I came to Cush when I was very young. ”"Oh, Lian," Ivy helped the girl to sit down with her, and then continued to ask quietly, "Why did you come to Kushi, your family" Lian touched her face, "It was all five or six years ago, Your Majesty said that in order to make friends between the two countries, he gave a lot of treasures to King Kushi.I was the slave who was rewarded at that time.Because of the gift of the land, I am already a man of Ethiopia, so I cannot return to Egypt.As for my family," Lian frowned, and Ivy was not in a hurry to ask, just took a sip of water while quietly waiting for her to continue.After a while, the girl finally smiled and continued, "My mother has always been in the palace, but it seems that the people she serves are very jealous, and my mother is easily ostracized.That is why I was appointed to the ancient truths.My mother didn't have my only daughter until I was very old, so at that time, my mother's eyes were almost blind from crying. ”There was a faint melancholy on her face, "Maybe she thought I had been abused to death by the king of Cushi, but fortunately there was Rama" "Lian, don't say more. ”Rama, who had been eating quietly on the sidelines, suddenly raised her head and interrupted Lian with a slight dissatisfaction."
Rama" Lian couldn't help but pout a little dissatisfied, and continued to look at Ivy with some anger, and continued insistingly, "King Kushi's cruelty, the princess should have heard of it" Ivy was stunned for a moment, and looked at Lotus with some puzzlement.Indeed, she had never heard of, no one had ever described to her what kind of man King Cush was to marry.Lian looked at Ivy in disbelief, "Princess, they married you here, didn't they even have an explanation, the king of Gush is an out-and-out puppet of Egypt, relying on the power of Egypt, he barely managed to gain a foothold in the disputed tribe and obtain the nominal kingship."
The king himself was very hot-tempered, and he did not care about the rise or fall of the country, but only blindly intensified all kinds of fortifications and studied all kinds of torture.Even children under the age of ten will be tortured with the most cruel criminal laws, and he will drink wine and eat meat on the side" "Lian, shut up. ”Rama's eyes drooped slightly, and he said coldly.But the more Lotus spoke, the more excited he became, "The king has already aroused the dissatisfaction of the people, and the so-called royal family of Kush has long been rotten, leaving only a shell that can be manipulated by others, except" "Lotus" Rama vigorously put the clay cup in his hand on the ground, and the not very strong cup made a dull sound, as if it was about to break, Rama increased his voice, and said again, "Stop" Lotus was stunned for a moment, and then her big eyes were full of tears, she leaned forward, grabbed Rama's strong arm, and whimpered in her mouth: "Rama" Rama still kept a straight face, but Ivy noticed a gentle embarrassment in her sharp eyes.But then, he reverted to his old self and said to Lian like a command, "Go out and rest." ”Lian was stunned for a moment, and her first reaction was to shake her head desperately, but after seeing Rama's expressionless face, it was like a physical instinct, she stood up very reluctantly, glanced at Ivy hesitantly, and then bowed carefully to the two, with tears in her eyes, and slowly turned around and walked out.The moment the wooden door closed, Rama let out a breath and couldn't help but hang her head a little relaxed, "When I first discovered the lotus, it's been five or six years now.She was desperate to jump off the banks of the Nile, but she hated King Cush, and more or less she had a bit of hatred for Ramses in her heart. ”At this point, he raised his eyes sharply, like an eagle's eyes locked sharply on Ivy, and he slowly asked, "What about you?"
It only took a second for Ivy to understand the meaning of Rama's question.Obviously, as long as you pretend to hate Ramses, you can get through safely, but the answer is impossible to say no matter what.The mind was in a mess, and Lotus's words and Rama's words flew around in his mind again and again, merging and interweaving, and finally turned into a deep gray mist.Ramses had known about the tyranny, Ramses had long understood the danger, what was the meaning of her coming to Cush "Nefertari what is wrong with you" heard someone talking in her ears, the deep voice touched her nerves, her breathing began to be uncontrollably disordered, and a suffocating pain rose in her heart.She looked up, but she couldn't see anyone's face clearly, and her gray eyes seemed to be filled with transparent tears, but they were so dry that she couldn't say anything.Rama couldn't help but panic, it seemed that it was rare to see girls crying other than Lian.He looked at Ivy a little bewildered, leaning forward slightly, his hands raised, as if to wipe away the tears that had not fallen for her."
He" had a slight tremor in his crisp voice, despair like ashes that had lost all of it.Rama looked at Ivy and stopped in the air with her raised hand."
