After Amenhot/P IV said this sentence without hurrying, the air instantly fell into a dead silence, and the atmosphere plummeted to zero o'clock.Sai Siturs looked at Amenhot/P IV.Amenhot/P IV also looked at Sessituls.The chill in the eyes of the two collided, and suddenly a tense atmosphere permeated the not very large tent.It was a hot summer day, but the temperature in the tent was low and cold because of the solemnity and tension of the atmosphere.With great anger, Sesituls lost his usual composure and grace, and he almost gritted his teeth and pronounced the name of Amenhot/P.
IV, "Amenhot/P. ”Amenhot/P.
IV raised his eyebrows and said in a lazy tone: "Sithuls, although you are my brother, I am the pharaoh, and he who calls me by my name can be condemned. ”After the words fell, as if this sentence was not enough, Amenhot/P IV deliberately added: "I have to say that I am very enchanted by the beauty of Nefertiti. ”He tapped the corners of his lips, and his low tone revealed a hint of aftertaste and a hint of meaningful ambiguity.Sai Siturs's handsome face was already a little uncontrollable, and the arms hanging by his side burst into bruises because of too much patience: "......""
Sai Siturs," Fu Zhenhong called out to the young man with a very bad face at this time.Just simply shouted Sai Si Tuls' name, and did not say anything else, but it instantly soothed Sai Si Tuls' gradually uncontrollable emotions.He looked at Fu Zhenhong.Fu Zhenhong walked up to him and took the initiative to hold Sai Siturs' hand.The touch of the five fingers interlocking and the palms touching each other eased the uneasy feeling in Sai Siturs' heart, and he couldn't help but increase the strength in his hand, holding Fu Zhenhong's hand firmly in his palm.He then took a deep breath and was slowly suppressed by the anger provoked by Amenhot/P IV.Yes, suppression.It's not an exclusion.He couldn't help but be angry.Even if he was the one standing by Nefertiti's side now, he still couldn't calm his anger at Amenhot/P IV.But in order not to worry Nefertiti, the expression on his face was all retracted and returned to his usual gentleness, "Nefertiti, I'm fine." ”He said to Fu Zhenhong, as if to increase his persuasiveness, and a light smile rose at the corner of his lips.Amenhot/Pw IV's original good mood immediately became a little irritated after seeing the interaction between Fu Zhenhong and Sessituls.His gaze fell on the hands of the two men.The same picture he had seen in the main hall of the Temple of Amun a month earlier.Now that I see it again, I feel even more dazzling than the last time.Although he didn't want to admit it, Amenhot/P IV himself knew very well that he was actually a little jealous of Sithers.Regardless of Nefertiti's love for Sessiture or not, at least Nefertiti has put Sithers in a very important place in his heart.Nefertiti cares about Sysituls and will take the initiative to get close to Sysituls, and even "show" more than indifference in front of him.This thought is really unpleasant.Amenhot/P IV scoffed.It doesn't matter, he said to himself.Because soon, Nefertiti and Sessituls will no longer have anything to do with each other.Amenhot/P IV took one last look at Sesiturs and stared at Fu Zhenhong for a few seconds before stepping out of the tent.After Amenhot/P IV left, the stone hanging in Sai Siturs' heart fell a few inches, and he held Fu Zhenhong in his arms, buried his head in the side of Fu Zhenhong's neck, and desperately inhaled the cold breath on Fu Zhenhong's body.It seems that only in this way can I blow away that vague uneasiness."
I'm sorry, Nefertiti."
Sai Siturs' muffled voice came from the side of Fu Zhenhong's neck.Fu Zhenhong hugged him back and put his palm on Sai Situers's back, "Why apologize?"
”He asked.Sai Siturs said: "I didn't protect it. ”Fu Zhenhong was silent for a moment, and then asked rhetorically, "Does Sai Siturs think I'm someone who needs to be protected?"
”Secy Turles didn't speak.The quiet air made Situls' breathing audible.One second, two seconds.....
Three-second ......
After a long time, when Fu Zhenhong thought that Sai Siturs would not answer, the other party muttered in a low voice as if sighing: "But I want to protect you......""
Sure enough...
Or because I'm too weak......"
Said Siturs to himself."
Saisi Turles, not weak."
Fu Zhenhong's cold voice revealed a bit of concern.But Sisituls, who was in a dead-end state of thought, could not find comfort in this sentence at all.Fu Zhenhong didn't speak again, she was still holding herself by Sai Si Tuls, waiting for Sai Si Tuls to figure it out.Minutes and seconds passed.In the end, Sai Siturs, who buried his head in Fu Zhenhong's neck, slowly raised his head, he stared into Fu Zhenhong's eyes, and said with determination: "Nefertiti, I'm going to Abydos tomorrow." ”Fu Zhenhong paused, "Have you thought it through?"
”Abydos is a very old city located near Barliana on the west bank of the Nile.A week ago, a plague broke out in a remote town in Abydos, and although Amenhot/P IV sent soothsayers, priests, and officials to solve it on the side of the imperial palace in Thebes, the effect was not very obvious.Probably because of the lack of a practical backbone, there is no one to control the whole."
Well, I need to be there, and I need to get the support of the people by going to do it well."
Sai Siturs replied.Fu Zhenhong said: "It's a danger zone, and you may be infected if you go." ”"But it was an opportunity for me."
Sai Siturs' tone was firm: "I can't rest on my laurels. ”Without rights and status, there is no way to protect loved ones.The last sentence Sai Siturs didn't say, but Fu Zhenhong understood what he meant."
Even if it endangers your 'life'?""
Well, even if it endangers my 'life'."
Sai Siturs pretended to be relaxed and said: "After all, high returns always come with high risks, just like picking a blue lotus, only crocodiles that are not afraid of the Nile can pick the sacred flower of life on both banks." ”When Fu Zhenhong heard this, he didn't say anything.The information he received from the Temporal Authority did not record the cause of Seysituls' death, nor the time of his death.Fu Zhenhong doesn't know if Sai Siturs' decision this time will be in line with this historical information.Whether it is or not, it is Saisituls' own choice.Fu Zhenhong will not interfere with his decision.Next.Early in the morning, Seysituls packed his bags and got everything ready.As he was about to depart, Sithuls stood outside the carriage and kept looking in the direction north of Thebes, with anticipation in his eyes.It was the abode of Nefertiti, the messenger of God."
Waiting for Nefertiti to see her off?"
Amenhot/P.
IV leaned against the stone wall, folded his arms in his hands, and spoke in a good manner.Seysituls didn't answer, his eyes still fixed on that direction.Amenhot/P IV was not annoyed, but said with great interest: "Saisiturs, if you don't set off again, I'm afraid you will lose time." ”Finally, without waiting for Siturus to speak, he added, "By the way, Nefertiti is now in the temple of Karnak praying with the high priest for the success of your journey. ”Hearing this, Sithturs' brow furrowed slightly, he remembered that this kind of prayer had always been done only by the high priest, and not by Nefertiti, who was the oracle of the gods.As if seeing Sesituls' doubts, Amenhot/P IV said unhurriedly: "Haven't we finished the engagement ceremony, and I, as the pharaoh, should naturally let my lover go and pray." ”Sai Siturs sneered, the prayer was fake, and it was only true that Nefertiti would not be allowed to see him before he left."
Gone."
Knowing that Nefertiti didn't have time to see him off, Siturs didn't bother to talk to Amenhot/P IV any more, and after he pedaled into the car, he motioned for Ratwa to go directly."
Sai Situles, be careful about this trip."
Amenhot/P IV said in a brisk tone with a smile on his face.He was answered by the sound of wheels rolling on the ground.Looking at the carriage farther and farther away, the smile on Amenhot/P's face disappeared, his eyes glowed with coldness, and a dark surging of "color" slipped through the depths of his pupils."
Wang, do you need me to follow you?"
A man dressed in a black robe silently appeared behind Amenhot/P IV.The man was tall and handsome, with light coffee on his eyes and red at the ends.This is the man who was cut off by Jotejano for his gold bracelet at the Aupet Festival yesterday."
No need."
Amenhot/P IV withdrew his gaze from the carriage.Saisituls' choice to go to Abydos was something he had anticipated, or more accurately, a deliberate contribution.Thinking about what he said and what he said last night, it was not a small sting/excitement to Si Turs.Planned.Amenhot/P IV looked at the man behind him: "Let's go, Nelson, it's time for us to go back to the Imperial Palace." ”"Yes."
The black-robed man named Nelson replied respectfully.After Saisituls arrived in Abydos, he wrote a letter to Fu Zhenhong, and he would write one for the next few days.The letter wrote about his situation in Abydos, who he met, what problems were more difficult, and who had been strong in the face of the infection.Fu Zhenhong received the letter, looked at the dense long string of words, read it patiently every time, and would also give a simple reply to Sai Siturs.The day passed.On the fourth day of Sithturs' departure from the imperial city of Thebes, the Hittite twins, who had never left Egypt, officially identified themselves and prepared to visit the Egyptian royal palace as emissaries.Amenhot/P IV ordered a grand banquet to welcome them.Fu Zhenhong, as a messenger of the gods, was naturally invited to attend this banquet."
Your Majesty, the water for washing is ready."
