Sorrow formed a huge net that tightly bound her heart, what role did she play in this border war that was so common for this era?
For Egypt, this night was an unusually rare cloudy day, thick lead clouds slowly floating in the night sky, and the light of the bright moon faintly flowed through the cracks in the clouds.There were no stars, no wind, and the whole palace of Thebes was as silent as death, except for the faint sound of the Nile flowing in the distance, as thick as the breath of the earth.In the palace, by the lotus pond.The lotus pond is located on the inside of the pharaoh's study, and unlike other lotus ponds, the pond will appear different shades of blue depending on the depth of the water when the sun shines on it.The people of the palace use secret techniques to keep the water temperature in the pool constant throughout the year, so that the lotus flowers here will always bloom regardless of the hot summer or the cold of winter.It was a thick night, and the lotus pond was a deep blue, and there were a few quiet lights burning faintly by the poolside, as if they were lit up in the blue, reflecting the existence of the whole pool as if it were dreamlike.A table and a chair can be seen in a trance by the pool.The king's couch made of hardwood is carved with Horus with wings on its back, and the marble square table is trimmed with gold turquoise, on which is a papyrus map, and a pair of gold candlesticks are placed on either side of the map, and the candles illuminate the geographical distribution of several countries in West Asia smoothly and serenely.Ramses sat at the table.He was dressed in a long white linen robe with gold trim and short bracers of pure gold on his wrists, and on a thin belt that stretched across his forehead, a "Yoaras" stared coldly ahead, majestic.His eyes drooped slightly, and his long dark brown hair slid down his shoulders as he leaned forward, landing gently on the not-so-elaborate map.The slender fingers picked up an obsidian cat-shaped chess piece placed on the side and placed it on the border between Egypt and Nubia.Next to the map, there were a number of different stone chess pieces, such as eagles, snakes, and rams.They have only two colors: black pieces made of obsidian and white pieces made of marble.I saw that after he put down the black cat, he picked up a white eagle again, and while thinking, shogi carefully landed in Egypt, not far from the black cat.After that, he landed several pieces in black and white in different positions.Finally, his fingers were put back on the chess piece beside him, which was a white lotus flower, and the finely polished chess pieces shone warmly in the candlelight.He looked at the map, but was silent for a long time, and the fingers holding the chess piece tightened, loosened and tightened.He didn't play the chess piece after all, but he raised his eyes and looked at the lotus pond in front of him.Without the golden sunlight, the pond water, which is usually full of strange vitality, now seems to be silent as if it has lost its life.He leaned heavily against his chair and closed his eyes.The long eyelashes covered the eyelids and trembled slightly.There was silence all around, but there was a rumbling sound in Ramses' head, as if the log carrying the tall statue had rolled over his nerves, and he was so sensitive that he seemed to feel a little hard to breathe.Nefer Tali, Nefer Tali.A name that lingers, a beauty that you desire but never get.He wanted Nefertari, not the black-haired and black-eyed queen, not the Nefertari given by his father.My heart was like the boundless ripples on the lotus pond that day.Blonde hair as dazzling as the sun, eyes as blue as Nile water.I miss her so much, I want to see her, I want to be able to touch her No matter how time passes, no matter what effort he makes, he can't let go of that haunting and delicate face She said that she is from the future, so he waited, waited for so many years, where is she now, why is she even stingy in a dream at first sight Suddenly, Ramses's eyes swept over a person's face.He stood up sharply and anxiously swept the map and chess pieces on the stone table to the ground."
I will never, marry your partial concubine.""
You asked me about a person, the only person in the world who called me Wei.Yes, he is someone I love. ”"I just want to see him again, I want to see him happy, even if I can't say I love him anymore."
Why, why can't I help but care about Ramses' breathing disorders.It's just a grain of sand, humble and small, why can it be so deeply embedded in his heart that makes his heart ache faintly every time his heart beats.He leaned against the stone pillar by the lotus pond, but his vision seemed to be blurred.Her figure spun rapidly, like a lotus flower blooming on the dance floor, and her posture was so delicate that he almost wanted to gouge out the eyes of the men in the hall.Her face was slightly painful, her thin body was as cold as the deep sea, trembling slightly in his arms, but she could pretend to be a foreign boy, and her dart skills were astonishing.Her appearance is so pale, but there is strength in her eyes, protecting her subordinates, commenting on the political situation, and still arguing in the face of his anger.Dressed in pure white, she stood by the lotus pond, the blue water reflecting her eyes as clear as the sky, and the golden sunlight shining on her hair like gold.Ramses slowly stretched out his hand, and the words seemed to tremble slightly, "Nefertari" He swallowed the tail note into his mouth, stretched out his hand and clenched his fist, and just like that, he took it back.He laughed at himself in annoyance, "How could she be Ivy." ”She is Ivy, the daughter of Tissy Idi, the disgusting priestess, and the queen of the sidechamber of the lowly blood.How could Ivy be Nefer Tali, he must be crazy."
Your Majesty."
Whose voice rang in his ears, violently dragging him back from his confusion to the cold reality.Amber eyes narrowed slightly, and they were recolored with everyday indifference, and he turned his head sideways.The red-haired general got down on one knee, hung his head, and said respectfully to Ramses: "News from Lord Colt." ”His heart suddenly jumped, and he was a little nervous.He pretended to be calm and said "um", sat back on the king's sofa, bowed slightly, but did not look at Mentus, but ordered lightly: "You speak." ”"As Your Majesty expected, they really attacked Princess Ivy's team."
His heart trembled, he almost couldn't restrain himself, stood up and grabbed Mentus and asked loudly: What about her, how is she Fortunately, the young general said at the right time: "Fortunately, Princess Ivy is safe."
Now, it seems that they are planning to take Princess Ivy to Abu Simbel, which will depart today, and it is estimated that they will arrive in three days.At present, no more than 3,000 people have been seen, and it is not clear whether there are other forces behind it. ”"What about the route," Mentus continued, without hesitation, "the stronghold over there, about three days' walk southwest from the place where the ship was disembarked, was an oasis of excellent water, and its location was secluded, and it was more convenient to march to Abu Simbel. ”Ramses nodded, his handsome eyebrows furrowed slightly, pursed his lips, and said nothing.Mentus hung his head too, his emerald green eyes not squinting, but staring straight at the map that had fallen in front of him and the polished chess pieces scattered on it.I don't know how long it took, Ramses still didn't say a word.Mentus couldn't help but speak cautiously again: "Your Majesty, although it is a bit unexpected that they will take Princess Ivy hostage, but so far, everything is going according to your plan, and the next thing will be sent by your subordinates" "No. ”Halfway through his words, he was coldly interrupted by Ramses, who muttered for a moment before he said, "I will personally take Amun's legion with you, and you and Ritach will stay in Thebes, and keep my trip secret from the outside world, and only treat it as if your lieutenant was leading the troops." ”"Your Majesty, do you have other considerations" After all, it was the supreme commander of Egypt who had received very strict training, and although Mentus was a little strange in his heart, he still knelt on the ground with a blank face and respectfully, looking at his nose, nose, mouth, and heart, and did not say superfluous words or make superfluous suggestions.Ramses did not give him an explanation, and replied with a little impatience: "And so, tomorrow at the first rays of sunshine." ”The red-haired young man frowned slightly, he had never seen His Majesty so impatient.His Majesty had long known about the Kushi Rebellion, and because it was not a climate, he did not think of attacking on a large scale.It's just that the other party is good at guerrilla warfare, and he needs some trickery to lure him to appear.Now that His Majesty has fully solved this problem by marrying Princess Ivy, the next step is to find a suitable general to lead the troops to encircle and suppress, why do you need Pharaoh to personally lead the Amun army forward?
His Majesty's eyes are always so indifferent, his eyes are so transparent that they are almost transparent, but they are so deep that they cannot be seen to the end, and they are unpredictable.In the days of growing up and fighting with His Majesty, Mentus had seen his coldness, his determination, his bravery, his joy, his sorrow, but he had never felt like a fog of confusion, which deeply covered up a trace of imperceptible loneliness in his heart.Mentus didn't ask any more questions, and as soon as he bowed, he got up neatly, turned his head and walked out quickly.Tomorrow is about to set off, and it is necessary to assemble the Amun army as quickly as possible.If there were any other possibilities, perhaps it would be better to ask Ritach another day.He always knew His Majesty's mind very well.Seeing that his figure was fading away, Ramses slapped the stone table beside him heavily, then buried his head deep in his arm on the table, and sighed in frustration.How could he, how would he "In the future, I will never bother you again." ”The quiet words came to mind again, but like a sharp sword, it plunged deep into his chest and stirred hard.Earth-shaking pain, crazy and unspeakable confusion.In the hard heart, it seems that something is gradually shattering.A desert with no one and a cloudless clear sky.There was no wind, and the soldier's footprints fell quietly in the golden-brown sand, turning into a neat row of footprints.After a quick conversation with Ivy, Rama gathered all the strong men overnight, changed into uniform white clothes, and were fully equipped with weapons, especially sharp arrows, and the next morning, the group set out from the oasis of fertile water and headed north.The desert was quite hot and dry during the day, and in order to preserve his strength and to avoid his whereabouts being easily discovered, Rama asked his army to choose a pre-planned shaded place to rest in place during the hottest five hours, while the morning, evening, and night were to rush with all their might.At the moment, Ivy was slightly closed, half-lying behind a rock, trying not to move her body for half a minute to reduce the energy consumption.Despite being tied with ropes, Rama was uneasy about placing two Nubian Janissaries by her and Dong's side to prevent them from delivering messages or escaping in any way.Although it was only a day and a half of walking, because Ivy's body was already very weak in ancient times, and she worked hard all the way, it was even more uncomfortable at this time.Suddenly, she felt only someone gently tugging at her hair.She couldn't help frowning slightly, and said naturally: "Is there anything wrong with Dong" The person who came didn't speak, she thought that Dong was ordered not to stay with her, so she opened her eyes, and saw Lian's face appear in sight.She hurriedly half-sat up, "Why did you come with you" Lian hurriedly made a "quiet" gesture, and then said to Ivy a little embarrassed: "I was soft and hard, and Rama finally agreed to bring me over." ”If Rama can agree to take Lotus with him, he should have more or less confidence in his heart that he will win.Ivy thought.Anyway, Lian is also an Egyptian, even if there is a real fight, she may not encounter any danger, Ivy was a little relieved, and asked in a low voice: "You are looking for me" Lian nodded, with an embarrassment on her young face that could not be hidden, "That, there was Rama before, it is a little inconvenient to ask I said before that my mother works in the palace" She said in a heel, her fingers tangled together.Ivy didn't rush to ask, just waited patiently for her to continue, Lian's big black and white eyes flashed uneasily, and finally she seemed to have made up her mind and said vigorously: "Ah, yes, princess, you are from the palace, maybe you will know my mother, I" She paused for a moment, and then said in a very, very soft voice: "I think, maybe you know about my mother."
Duo used to be the maid who took care of Her Royal Highness Tixi, and that's why she swallowed back the second half of her sentence, looking at Ivy with big eyes a little embarrassed.Ivy smiled bitterly, in fact, because of this, Duo was ostracized by the palace people, and finally designed to send her daughter to Gushi Bar Tisi and her daughter, it really seems that the plague god recalled what Duo said to her when she left Thebes, with a little tears in her old eyes, and her trembling voice made a sad voice, "Don't be like my daughter" Duo may not know the current situation of Lian, and she doesn't know that in fact, her daughter has not been abused and bullied in Gushi as she thought.According to Ivy's brief observation, Rama should treat Lian like her own sister, very not.Ivy thought to herself that if she could return to Egypt safely, she would have to tell Dot about it, so that the old maid could rest assured.Perhaps, the best case scenario is that she can bring the lotus back to Egypt with her, she subconsciously reached out and gently touched the lotus's head, a gentle smile appeared on her fair face, "Do you want to ask Duo how she is now" Lian nodded vigorously and hurriedly.Ivy pointed to the shady clearing beside her, motioned for her to sit down, and then slowly told Lian about the current situation of the flower as far as she knew.Ivy cleverly avoided the fact that Duo was ordered to be sent to Memphis by Ramses, and only lightly told her about the little things of Duo's daily life.Hearing the news of her mother's health and safety, Lian's eyes couldn't help but glow with excitement, and she listened attentively.In the end, Ivy said seemingly nonchalantly, "She's been in Thebes, and she's waiting for someone important." ”Although it's a lie, but Duo should think like this, Ivy smiled and looked at Lian, who was listening to her intently, the sentence just now was hinting at her, Egypt was waiting for her, Ivy would definitely do everything to bring her back to Egypt, Lotus should be happy However, after getting such information, the girl was just stunned for a moment, and then her eyes showed indescribable hesitation.She hung her head and clasped her hands together, black hair running down her cheeks.She said softly: "Ah, yes, mother, everything is fine, it's great" "If you really want to go back to Egypt, why don't you wait until everything is over, come with us" Lian may be worried about her identity or can't go back Ivy decided to make it a little clearer, "It's been so many years, let's go back quietly, it's okay." ”Lian didn't even show the slightest expression of excitement, but her brows furrowed even tighter.After a moment of silence, she stood up."
Princess, thank you very much, Lian maybe, you have to think about it."
At this point, she felt that someone had stood up, blocking the light in front of her, and Ivy looked up and saw Rama's figure.Like the other soldiers, Rama wore a white battle uniform today, with leather bracers around his arms and a bow and arrow and quiver behind his back.Lotus turned her head along Ivy's line of sight, and the moment she saw Rama, a smile as pure and beautiful as a lotus bloomed on her face.She hopped up to Rama's side and grabbed his arm with some affection."
Rama, are you resting" "Lotus, what are the conditions for your trip" Ignoring Lotus's greeting, Rama just said flatly.Lian was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head, "That's it, first, don't run around, second, assist the logistics soldiers in cooking" Rama folded her arms around her chest, no longer spoke, just raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at Lian.The girl stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, bowed quickly to Ivy, and ran away quickly."
Okay, okay, I'll just go and help," her voice faded away, her happy steps so brisk, that's why she hesitated, she didn't want to leave Rama.However, if Ramses has already moved his heart to get rid of Rama and these resisters, I am afraid that Lian, who is so close to Rama, will inevitably be affected by it.Ivy lowered her head slightly, and she couldn't help but feel a lingering worry in her heart.Rama watched Lian's back disappear to the other side of the army, then shook her head slightly and sat down across from Ivy."
Are you okay?"
Ivy didn't react, looking at Rama in bewilderment.Rama scratched his hair, did not repeat the question, and continued to explain: "We still have about two days to reach Abu Simbel. ”Ivy nodded, but her gray eyes looked through his broad shoulders into the blue sky.The sun fills the sky so much that it's impossible to look at it directly.It's like the radiant son of the sun, the power that is so hot that it can burn the whole world, but instead separates people in this way.Suddenly, a shadow swept away quickly, and she looked hard to see that it was actually an eagle.It can't be seen in the backlight, but the eagle has strong wings and bright feathers, and it is a rare good eagle.After walking all day along the way, few animals were seen, why did such a vigorous eagle suddenly fly Ivy was wondering, only to feel a white light flash quickly from the sky, and with a bang, the eagle was suddenly shot by something, and without even a trace of struggle, it fell headlong and fell on the other side of the army camp.Her first instinct was to stand up and see what was wrong with the eagle, but Rama interrupted her thoughts."
After the day after tomorrow, where do you want to go" "After the day after tomorrow. ”Ivy forced herself to pull her gaze back to the handsome Nubian face in front of her, repeating his words to help clear her mind."
Just after helping us fool Ramses."
After deceiving Ivy, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said casually: "Let's go travel the world."
I want to find the Eye of Horus. ”Then, as if remembering something, she added, "And my brother." ”Rama laughed heartily, "Of course, I said I wouldn't kill your brother.However, I heard that the keys to the secret treasures are kept in the temples of the Egyptian royal family, and it is difficult to get them with your strength. ”"Oh yes," Ivy looked up at Rama, the boy knew a lot.She stopped thinking about the eagle for a moment, and turned her attention back to Rama."
There's a way.""
Even if you're lucky enough to get your hands on the three keys to the Secret Treasure in Egypt," Rama still looked incredulous, "and you won't be able to find the fourth." ”It is true that Ramses told her that there are only three keys to the secret treasure left.As soon as the picture turned, the wedge-shaped text on the bridgehead resurfaced in front of me.Could it be that the fourth one was taken by someone from another country, and Ivy asked without thinking: "According to your meaning, since it is not in the country, it is estimated that it should be somewhere else" The key to the water was placed in the northern land, perhaps in the Hittites.Ivy waited for such an answer.However, Rama had a smug smile on his face and reached out and pulled out his bow from behind his back.It was a good bow, with a graceful and powerful dark brown body, and the tail was made of gold on both sides, set with a sapphire as deep as the sea.The sapphire faintly reflects the color of the sky, and the light flows as the bow moves, as if it is pregnant with a surging ocean."
If you really cooperate with us, this is for you."
Rama pouted at the sapphire, "The key to water." ”"The Key to Water" Ivy's eyes widened, she never thought she would see such a large and beautiful sapphire here.Sapphire is much harder than iron.In an era when grinding technology and tool hardness are far behind, there will be such a beautiful and gorgeous existence, I have to say that it is unbelievable as a miracle.She remembered the snake bracelet she had gotten at the beginning, the snake-eyed ruby was only a small piece, and it was already extremely precious.The gem in front of you should be worth a lot of money that can't be bought, no, it's enough to be an enemy.Ivy looked up at Rama in disbelief.Are the keys of the Treasure so beautiful gems, no wonder Egypt has put so much effort into protecting them and sealing their information.Obviously, the circulation of any piece will set off an earth-shaking struggle, no matter what the era."
I thought it was Hittite," Ivy said hesitantly.Rama was stunned, "I didn't expect you to know a lot of things."
Yes, this gem was obtained from a young man during my travels to the Hittite.But it doesn't matter, it's all in the past. ”"But wouldn't it be dangerous for you to casually set it in a bow and arrow?"
"Actually, no one has ever seen the key to water. ”Rama casually thrust the bow back behind him, "You don't even recognize the slave of the princess you want to find it so much, put it in front of you.Moreover, it was stolen in its early years, and many in the Egyptian priesthood must have thought it was somewhere else.For me, this victory in the battle against Egypt is even more precious.What, do you want to fully cooperate" There are still such good things in the world Ivy only felt a black line in front of her, and then nodded slowly.Seeing her nod, Rama grinned, "However, even if you don't know how to get together the four secret treasure keys, it will be difficult for you to get the Eye of Horus." ”This conclusion is tantamount to pouring cold water on Ivy from head to toe.According to Rama, even if Ramses were willing to give her the Eye of Horus, she would not necessarily have the luck to get it.She lifted her eyes and looked at Rama expectantly, asking him further why he had made such a judgment.He turned around and looked to the other side of the camp.There was a faint noise over there, which was very different from the quiet atmosphere earlier.Rama got up and, without saying a word, walked briskly over there.Ivy hurriedly stood up as well, that was the place where the eagle fell just now, did something happen Thinking of this, she ignored the tiredness of her body, just dragged her steps and moved over there.Rama's army, in its orderly appearance, can indeed be called an army of more than 2,000 men, about half of the four armies of the pharaohs.During the break, Rama divided his army into ten small camps and formed a matrix in the shape of a matrix to find a place to rest in the sun.From Ivy's camp to the camp where there was a small commotion, it was a hundred meters away.Ivy was bound by ropes on both hands and feet, and without soldiers to stand by her side, it was extremely difficult to walk.By the time she slowly moved to the camp at a turtle speed, she was surrounded by soldiers all around.I could only hear Lian's slightly annoyed voice transmitted through the dense human wall, "Did you shoot it down with an arrow, speak quickly" and then Rama's voice, "Lian, calm down, he doesn't even have an arrow." ”Ivy was eager to see what was going on.But his body is too short, and he can't do anything about it.She stood behind the dense layers of the team, helplessly looking at the backs of the immobile Nubian men in front of her.When he was worried, the voice of lotus came from inside."
Rama, even if he is the princess's entourage, he can't just kill the eagle flying through the sky like this, this is very unlucky for the expedition, it's too much" The princess's entourage is talking about winter, why did winter kill the eagle Ivy pushed the Nubian in front of her a little anxiously.The man turned his head and looked down condescendingly at the silver-haired Ivy, and when he recognized Ivy's appearance, he turned to the person next to him and whispered a few words in Nubian.Then one of them grabbed Ivy by the arm and brought her into the center of the argument.The first thing that catches your eye is the body of the eagle you saw earlier in the middle of the sand.It was bleeding from its neck and twitching slightly, but there was no trace of an arrow in sight, as if it had been shot down by something that resembled a pistol.But how can there be a pistol in this era Ivy looked up and saw Lian Zheng angrily looking at the poor animal shaking on the ground, and her big eyes were full of incomprehensible resentment.Dong Ze was escorted by two soldiers, kneeling in front of Lian with his head down, his long light brown bangs blocking all his expressions.Seeing Ivy, Rama walked over and reached out to pull her up so that she could stand on her feet with the strength of Rama's strong arms.But her eyes kept looking at Dong who was quietly kneeling on the ground.It seems like I haven't seen him in two days.She was inseparable every day before, and she seemed to be used to him being by her side like a shadow.Fortunately, he was all right, and with a sigh of relief, Ivy looked at Lian."
Princess, even if it's your squire, I can't forgive this time.The most important and important thing in Rama was that the girl's face almost turned red with anxiety.Ivy replied to her quietly: "Don't worry, take a closer look, this eagle doesn't even have arrows on it." ”Lian was stunned for a moment, then turned her head over, and indeed as Ivy said, she couldn't find any trace of half an arrow.It's just that the only way to do such a thing is usually a bow and arrow, so I take it for granted.Ivy continued, "Winter's hands and feet are bound by ropes, and even if he can find a bow, he has to find a way to pull it away smoothly. ”"But he was really next to this eagle just now," Lian said with some hesitation, "maybe he hid the arrow, or if he didn't try, why was he here" "If you saw an eagle fall inexplicably, maybe you would come and see it too" Lian didn't speak."
Since there are no arrows, maybe it was injured somewhere else and landed here."
Ivy took a few steps away from Rama's hand, crouched down to look at the eagle, reached out and touched it, then turned back and said, "This eagle is probably going to die." ”With a little regret, she carefully held the eagle in her arms, the blood flowing from the eagle's neck stained her white dress red, and she gently stroked the trembling eagle with her fingers, only to feel its body slowly and slowly still between her slender arms.Why did the eagle fall for no apparent reason, she saw with her own eyes that it was magically shot down above the camp.If this is not an auspicious thing for the expedition, then it will not be the Nubians who are about to start an important war, and she quickly glanced at the quiet winter on the side, and unconsciously felt a little calculating in her heart.At this moment, Winter is also raising his head.The sun fell on his light brown hair, reflecting a jewel-like light, jumping and moving.But there was no expression in his deep walnut eyes, like hardwood standing in the extreme cold, firm but cold.The kind of feeling that makes people shudder, always feels familiar, as if one day, in a green place, through the dappled falling sun, faintly feel the polar general sight, cold, lifeless; It reminds people of the boy standing quietly on the side after duck hunting, indifferent and empty.Winter's image suddenly became extremely unfamiliar, Ivy somehow, subconsciously took a step back, did not speak, Rama looked impatient, took the eagle's cold body from Ivy's hand, nodded and motioned for the Nubian soldiers to let Winter go, and handed him the poor animal that was still hot."
Bury it well, you know" Dong slowly stood up, and his white arms gently took the eagle.He stood still, slowly opening a handsome smile.It was Ivy's familiar smile, like the winter sun, warm but distant.He turned and took a few steps back and began to slowly dig through the sand on the ground.Lian on the side seemed to have something to say, but Rama put her broad hand on her shoulder and used a little strength."
Tomorrow is about to arrive in Abu Simbel, and you don't have to spend so much energy on this little thing."
He commanded the soldiers to resume rest in an orderly manner, but his sharp eyes never took their eyes off the figure of the winter.It wasn't until he watched Winter put the immobile eagle into the pit he had just dug and covered it with sand that he turned to Ivy with a little peace of mind and said in a voice that only she could hear, "I won't pursue your brother this time, but now that I've learned the news, he can't do anything." ”Ivy looked up and saw a faint haze on Rama's face.She didn't know her position Although Rama had promised her, although Rama had always been polite to her and never treated her and Dong harshly, she was a captive no matter what, and if she couldn't be cautious and cautious, Rama would turn her face at any time.Even though the time was short, she knew in her heart what this battle meant and how important it was to Rama.If he knew that everything she said was a hoax, the consequences would be dire.A little uneasiness spread, filling Ivy's heart, and she nodded haphazardly, then walked over to Winter's side, took his hand, and gathered all her courage into her gray eyes, making herself look as calm as possible.She calmly said word by word: "My brother and I were forcibly stuffed into the princess's marriage team by Pharaoh as stand-ins.As long as you promise to keep us alive, whatever you want us to do, we can" Rama looked at Ivy, her deep-set eyes narrowed slightly, and her sharp eyes looked at her carefully.There was a heavy silence in the air.Ivy's hand strained slightly, and her slender fingers sank into Dong's skin.The boy could feel the sweat in her palms, but when he looked up, her expression was so calm that the tension he felt from her hands seemed to be fake.After a long time, the young Nubian bowed slightly, said nothing, and turned away from the two.Watching his figure fade away, Ivy only felt that her feet were weak and she almost fell to the ground.Winter hurriedly turned sideways and held Ivy firmly with both hands, allowing her to lean against her.Ivy looked at Dong and whispered, "That man has no interest in being rich and invincible, and his ambition does not come from ordinary wild thieves.We have to be careful. ”If their true identities are discovered before the day after tomorrow, I am afraid that I can't help but feel a little worried.She hung her head silently.The surroundings returned to their daily order, and Winter helped Ivy to a cool place, and let go of Ivy a little embarrassed, and just about to say something, the silver-haired girl winked at him, signaling that he didn't need to say more.The two sat down together, watching the Nubian army resting in a neat line in front of them, quietly waiting for the evening to come.After another day of travel, just when Ivy's physical strength was about to reach its limit, a little green finally appeared in front of her.Rama seemed to be familiar with the area, and under his leadership, the group rounded several irregular highlands and entered another oasis of greenery.Unlike the villages I've been to before, the oasis in front of me is obviously not well watered, and there are hardly any villagers.However, the location of this oasis is excellent, and it is located in a relatively secluded area surrounded by irregular highlands.On the high ground, there are several buildings that resemble bunkers based on stones.When the group arrived, the people in the bunker immediately came out and saluted Rama from afar."
Tonight, rest here."
Rama simply dropped the order and led several men up to the high ground, as if to pay attention to the situation in the vicinity.From that day on, Rama had become more or less wary of Ivy, and did not seem to come to her from time to time to share his thoughts with her, as he had done before, but he had managed to put her and Winter together, guarded by four unusually strong Nubians day and night.This was very painful for Ivy, because even when it was necessary to make it convenient, the Nubians would follow her, and turn their backs not far away, which was considered a sign of respect for her.Fortunately, the march was not long, and after only one day, we reached the camp in front of us.Ivy and Winter were pulled to a high ground by several soldiers, and then the rope on their feet was shortened a little.Unlike the oasis that used as a base camp and a house for detaining people, it was good to have a shelter from the wind as a foothold on the march.Ivy looked over, and the four Nubian men were still very vigilant outside the corner, keeping the two of them under close control.Fortunately, this angle has some depth, and the conversation is carried out in the innermost part, and people on the outside should not be able to hear it.Ivy rubbed herself into the deepest part of the corner, sat down laboriously against the rock, and took a deep breath.Although Rama did not say it explicitly, based on the previous exchanges between the two people, the current camp should be the last resting place for Abu Simbel.She looked up at the boy beside her.Dong tilted his head slightly, raised his eyes slightly, and looked faintly at the Nubian Zhuangding who were busy outside the corner.The moonlight fell silently on him, reflecting a trance of silver in his light brown hair.The bridge of his nose is very high, which sets off his deep eye sockets, and the thick eyelashes half hide his deep walnut eyes, making it impossible to see through the thoughts flowing in those eyes.It is undeniable that Dong is a beautiful boy who can be described as "peerless" even in modern times.Isn't it a self-comforting thing to be accompanied by such a handsome person now, and while admiring it, Ivy noticed a very fine ruby pendant hanging from Dong's chest.With fine gold as the thread, there is a very delicate lotus flower in the part that joins the pendant, leading to the red stone as deep as blood.The gemstone contains a red color that is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and the colors of crimson, crimson, blood, and crimson seem to flow in that small stone, as if it has life, and it will jump at any time.It seems that she has seen this wonderful stone somewhere, and Ivy pressed her forehead against it, trying to dig out the clues to find a clue.As if sensing her gaze, the boy turned his head and looked at her quietly."
Winter."
Ivy cleared her throat in embarrassment, called his name softly, and reached out to point to the wonderful jewel on his chest.Winter bowed his head slightly, and his perfectly delicate face carried the gentleness and respect that he saw every day.With a pure smile, he reached out and pulled up the red gem and kissed it gently on his lips, then put it in his clothes."
It was given to me by my mother."
It's the first time that Dong's mother has heard Dong talk about herself, and Ivy can't help but look at the boy in front of her.But he said no more, and raised his head to look at the bright moon in the sky, which glistened over his side face carved out of marble, and the silver light dispersed into a faint mist that flowed over his face.Seeing that he was silent, Ivy also raised her head to look at the sky.When the night falls and the day comes, they will encounter the important battle that Rama has been planning in recent days, a battle with an unknown outcome.Sorrow formed a huge net that tightly bound her heart, what role did she play in this border war that was so commonplace for this era?
The overland march was not met by the army.The lavish princess did not have adequate guards.In order to be discovered, to be attacked, to lure the elusive Rama and his party, she is a small decoy laid by Ramses II in another brilliant feat, a small existence that does not even care about life.She understands it all, she knows it all.This is true history, after all.He is the son of light who is high above, and she, after all, is the daughter of the side chamber of the lowly blood.She thought she could take it all in peace.But her efforts are far more fragile than she had always thought.If there is no golden hair, if there are no blue eyes, if there is no chance of encounter.It is impossible for her to have his love, and her heart is sour, and her eyes feel like she is dripping blood.It was indeed cold tears, running down his cheeks and sliding down uncontrollably.When did she become so sentimental She was embarrassed to cover her face with her hands and hide to the side before she was discovered by Dong, but her body was just slightly sideways, but she was tightly pulled by the teenager.His dark walnut eyes condensed on her, and in just a second, he firmly embraced her into his arms.The embrace came abruptly and passionately, slender arms tightly wrapped around her body, and soft short hair gently brushed her cheeks.She had never felt such a wide chest as a young man, and he held her, his heart beating strong and strong.He whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid, Ivy. ”His voice had a cleanliness that it hadn't felt before.Although daily life is just as gentle and careful, it always seems to be a little less real.Now his voice was like a cool fruit stripped of its hard shell, removing the hard rustiness and penetrating her heart from her ears."
Anyway, I'll be there for you."
The boy who comforted Ivy was like the sun hanging in the sky in winter, separated by a layer of fog, but a slight warmth still overflowed from all directions, enveloping her tightly.His arms strained slightly, holding her tightly to his chest, "I will definitely take you back to Egypt." ”When you return to Egypt, can you really use the word "return" to the golden land blessed by the gods, which has never been so far away, and the insurmountable chasm is longer than thousands of miles, farther than a thousand years.She couldn't help but clasp the placket of Dong's clothes with her fingers and bite her lower lip fiercely.Don't cry, don't cry.After today, she will never cry anymore, she will be strong to face tomorrow's war.No matter how dangerous, no matter how heartbreaking, she must try to survive, find the Eye of Horus, and forget about him back in the future.His fingers were deeply embedded in his palms through the placket, and the white shell-like nails oozed a little blood, staining Dong's chest.The boy let go of Ivy, and his white, bony fingers slowly opened her hand one finger at a time, and placed it in his palm.This gesture, as if someone had done it a long time ago, carefully spread her hand and put it into her own broad, warm palm.The vague memory of loving you, loving you very much gradually faded in my mind, and the light in front of me was so bright that even my vision became unclear."
Ivy, can I ask you something" Dong's voice drifted faintly in her ears.There were still tears in the corners of her eyes, and Ivy didn't answer.His face was blurred by the backlight, so he couldn't see his expression clearly, and he could only faintly see his mouth open and close, "Who are you" The moment you are, Ivy's heart jumped suddenly.Some nervousness, some fear, and some relief.Who is she Who is she Ever since she came back here, since she borrowed this body, no one has found out, no one has asked, she is Ivy, but which Emy is she If she doesn't have straight blonde hair like the sun, if she doesn't have blue eyes like the sky, isn't she the real her If she has the blood of the side chamber of the lowly side, if she has a weird pale face, is she another Ivy No one cares, no one cares.Gradually, even she became confused.How should she answer Dong's question?

Ivy's face showed a hollow smile, the moonlight against her thin face, and her fair skin showed a bit of a near-death pale."
I'm Ivy.""
You're not, you're not Princess Ivy."
Dong shook her head slightly, and her handsome face lost her daily smile, "Please don't hide it from me, okay" The girl raised her head, her gray eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of moist mist, so that people could not see the true thoughts in her heart.Although everyone said that she was strange-looking, and although everyone hated her, he never thought she was ugly, nor did he think she was evil.He looked her in the eye and said softly, "Princess Ivy doesn't know how to dart, and she doesn't like to move; As a priestess, she was very familiar with the structure and orientation of the Karnak Temple, but she did not care about political affairs at all; She has lived in the deep palace with her female dependents since she was a child, and she also knows a lot about desert water; More importantly," he half-knelt in front of Ivy, his fingers gently running through her silver hair, "you are braver than anyone knows Princess Evy, and your character, like the gift of the god Ra, is as dazzling as the midday sun that makes people dare not look at it." ”He took a deep breath, "I'll help you keep it a secret, please at least, don't hide it from me anymore." ”It turns out that she has so many flaws.The lack of common sense, a different kind of character, is so easy to recognize, even Dong can see it, and that person doesn't have her clasping her chest and inhaling deeply."
Dong, actually, do you know the Eye of Horus, right" Holding back the slight pain in her chest, Ivy adjusted her breathing, and her gray eyes looked directly at Dong.Dong paused for a moment, and then bowed deeply on the spot, "Your Highness forgive you, Dong is indeed very clear about the secret treasure."
It's just before" Ivy waved her hand slightly, signaling that Winter didn't mind the previous concealment, and she only said succinctly, "I came to this world with the help of the Eye of Horus. ”Winter looked at her.His expression was very complicated, and he couldn't tell whether he didn't understand, was surprised, or confused.But he didn't laugh at her, and he didn't even say "I don't believe it".He just looked at her, quietly waiting for her to continue.So, too, she smiled at him calmly, her eyes flashing through it, and she continued like a confession, repeating the reality that bothered her, but could not escape it."
I come from the future in 3,000 years," she said, like a silver star in the dark sky, falling silently, and then falling into his heart suddenly, causing ripples.In his mind, a vague sentence from a long time ago faintly flashed."
Don't go near that blue lotus pond, which His Majesty built for his beloved" The gentle and kind voice seemed to have become a distant memory.He always said that the blonde woman would one day come to him from the future, and if you grow up, you too would find your beloved, and at that time, "the red jewels danced faintly on his chest, burning his skin as if they were about to burn."
Dong closed his eyes vigorously, as if he wanted to shake the memory out of his heart.Looking at Ivy again, the moonlight poured down and fell on her silver hair, showing a faint pale gold.She smiled quietly.With a delicate face like a flawless ivory carving, she is not the Princess Ivy that people talk about every day, her beauty can grab people's breath."
Winter, I borrowed the power of the Eye of Horus.My soul came to this body. ”Ivy repeated lightly, "You can say I'm Princess Ivy, but you can also say I'm not her."
Thank you very much for discovering my soul under this skin, which is very different from that princess. ”Her name was Nefertari, and the name she came up with was the same as that of this unpopular but glorious queen in history.Is this just a coincidence?
She is the one Ramses has been waiting for.The blonde woman mentioned by "she" is not fictional.He looked at Ivy, and his slender hand couldn't help but grasp her shoulder a little harder.If Ramses didn't know who she was, he didn't want the man to know who she was, and Ramses didn't deserve to know that the person in front of him was so precious.If Ramses loved her, why could he have been so cruel to herIf Ramses thought about her every day, why were the two so close that he still didn't recognize her, how could he give up the person who was so important to him to the cold and cruel king of Egypt He didn't want to, never wanted to "So, do you want to go back" There was a faint tremor in his voice, he couldn't play the usual calm.The bottom of my heart gradually blurred a strange feeling, just like the bottom of a lake that was once deep and cold, but now I seemed to be able to hear something burning, and a warm liquid was slowly surging in the depths of the lake, with a little impulse about to set off an earth-shaking boil.The girl looked at him with a little sadness, was silent for a long time, and then nodded slightly."
But I can't find the Eye of Horus.Without the Eye of Horus, I can't go back. ”The whereabouts of the four Treasure Keys are all known, but it is still unknown whether they will be able to get them all smoothly.Rama's words echoed in Ivy's mind a few days ago, and even if she got all the keys, she might not be able to find the Eye of Horus.The future will always come.But her future is too far away, and she wants to go home.Suddenly, Ivy's mind flashed over the cuneiform writing she had seen at the bridge.In addition to the fact that there is a sentence that Winter has already translated, there is also a column of text under the sign of the Eye of Horus at the bridgehead.That image, she had it firmly in her mind, thinking of this, she raised her head sharply and grabbed the placket of Dong's clothes, "There is one more sentence, I want to ask you to help translate."
Maybe it has something to do with the clues of the Eye of Horus. ”Winter couldn't react to Ivy's quick change of subject, but she had already broken free from his grasp, kneeling on the sand, and drawing something with her fingers.The pattern is crooked, but it is also decent.Dong looked at her serious appearance, and at first he only felt a little like laughing, but when the words gradually took shape, his gaze couldn't help but gradually condense, and he fixed on the sand."
Ivy, where did you see this" Ivy turned around and said with a little eagerness, "What does this mean, I saw it at the head of that wooden bridge" Winter knelt beside Ivy and reached out to gently smooth the hard sand on the ground, erasing the words that Ivy had written."
Hey, you haven't told me what it is" Ivy whispered, don't look at the number of words, but it's really hard to write.Winter looked at Ivy slowly, a faint smile on her lips.Maybe it's because of the moonlight, in Ivy's eyes, Winter's expression is so cold, like the polar sea, if you want to say familiar, there is another person with a similar expression.seems to be an elder brother, who uses all kinds of means to suppress his opponent and trample his opponent to the bottom of his feet in the mall; Or should it be said that it was another person, above the high ground, the monarch behind him, his ice-blue eyes indifferently scanning the whole situation, and the whole thing disappeared in an understatement."
Ivy, don't go any further and find out what's written here."
Dong looked at Ivy and said softly.His words were a little strange, and Ivy couldn't help but ask a little anxiously: "What do these words mean" Winter only smiled and shook his head slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes.Ivy couldn't help but ask aggressively: "Is it a nickname, a code word, a symbol with other meanings", "Ivy, when we return safely from the battlefield, I will tell you everything." ”Winter smiled faintly, his slender fingers running through Ivy's hair and landing at his sides.No matter how anxiously she asked, he stopped talking, his dark walnut eyes raised slightly, and he looked quietly at the deep and endless night sky.t1706231537:
