Chapter 84 Chapter 6
It had been a long time since he had been bedridden and recuperated, and since he was sure that Nebuchadnezzar was all right, he had stayed in the barracks with peace of mind.
Because the wound on the thigh is not healed, it is inconvenient to travel, and he is not willing to spend all day in the tent with Nebuchadnezzar, as an adult man, he once promised him to do it, so even if he knows that Nebuchadnezzar has a heart for himself, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a deep-rooted love, he also chooses to distance himself from the other party, he hopes that this way can subside the other party's enthusiasm, although it is basically ineffective in terms of effectiveness.
So he drew drawings and asked Uru to make a wheelchair, which was actually a comfortable chair and four wheels in the ground, which finally satisfied his desire to be pushed around the barracks.
As the chief priest of the temple of Maduk, Ah Zhai has always had a high prestige in Babylon, coupled with his peaceful temperament, although he looks a little cold on the outside, but the soldiers are still happy to come to talk to this handsome and gentle priest, after all, most Babylonians believe in the god Maduk.
Because there was no problem with the method of identifying the three young people, Ah Zhai did not interfere, except for resting in the tent or wandering in the barracks all day, especially in order to cooperate with their approach, someone had to reduce the number of times they went out, in the tent they usually stood in one corner, Nebuchadnezzar handled official business, Ah Zhai read the story recorded on the parchment, the two did not talk much, but the atmosphere was very harmonious, and they got along very comfortably.
This is the first time that Ah Zhai has lived so leisurely since he came to this world, he doesn't need to manage all kinds of messy income and expenses in the temple, and he doesn't need to worry about whether his preferences will affect the nobles of the entire Babylon City, sometimes his head is empty, so it's a good choice to spend a day in a daze.
Nebuchadnezzar still pretended to be sick in the tent, and although the military doctor always brought the parchment rolls that he needed to handle every day with the medical box when he came to see him, the maturing king did not ask Ah Zhai to share the burden for him, on the contrary, he was quite indulgent to Ah Zhai's lazy behavior.
"Will Nebuchadnezzar die?" Jeremiah couldn't remember how long it had been since he had been out of the temple, at first he could still look out of the window, but gradually he gave up on this practice, the holy city of Jerusalem has a stunning beauty after many years of architecture, and the back of the temple is immediately connected to the royal palace of the kingdom of Judah, and he can see Jehoiakim's concubine through the window, at first he didn't care, but gradually, the other party occupied more and more importance in his heart, and the appearance of the other party's concubine also made him more and more like a stalk.
"Of course, the assassination of the three princes of Egypt has never missed." Jo Yajing hugged the other party's thin waist from behind, and complained dissatisfiedly for a while, "Have you not eaten well recently?" Or the food that those damn slaves sent to the temple that you're not happy with, baby, you've lost a lot of weight lately. β
"I'm worried about you, Your Majesty." Allowing the other party to grab his long brown hair in his hand and play with it, Jeremiah looked indescribably sad, "Judging from the celestial phenomena, the star representing Nebuchadnezzar is still shining, Jehoiakim, I'm really worried, I don't think it's a good idea for you to choose Egypt." β
"Baby, I've never believed in celestial phenomena!" He muttered as he licked the back of the other's neck, "If I believed in the celestial phenomena and believed in God, I wouldn't fuck with you!" β
"Your Majesty has wronged you, right?" Knowing that the other party had never had a nasty mouth, but feeling the contempt revealed in the other party's tone still made Jeremiah sad for a while, "I still think it's wrong for you to betray Babylon." β
"I've said it all, I didn't choose to go to Egypt!" Jehoiakim angrily gnawed on the other's mouth, biting the other's lips until he tasted blood in his own mouth, "And I can't say betrayal of Babylon, I have never recognized Judah as a subject of Babylon." β
"No one likes a wall-to-wall person, and I'm very worried about what you're doing." Jeremiah took a step back, "I really hope you'll think about it seriously. β
"My Prophet, my dearest little darling, know that I had no way out in the first place." Seeing his little lover shining his paws like a kitten, he didn't laugh angrily, and smiled again, "All you have to do is believe me, and you can only believe me." β
"The Egyptian army will come to the camp at about one o'clock in the morning this evening." Ah Zhai didn't ask how they got the news, but compared to the fact that most of the spies in the army should have been caught, "You plan to do it?" β
"Yes, it's a good way to defeat the Egyptian army, isn't it?" The three young men had originally gathered together for a battle meeting and a final sand table deduction, but as he spoke, Nebuchadnezzar couldn't help but come to the house who was listening and report his thoughts, and his eyes were shining like fine blue crystals.
"I hope you are careful, there is an old saying in the East, 'The praying mantis catches the cicada, the yellow finch is behind', and the old pharaoh of Egypt is like the sun hanging in the west, which may set at any time." Ah Zhai tapped the clay plate with his finger, "But he has three uneasy but young sons, and they are also strong contenders for the throne, so you need to pay attention to whether it was the decision of the three princes to assassinate His Majesty together or just one of them." β
"What's the difference?" Subia reached out and scratched her head.
"Absolutely." Amar took the tongue, he really couldn't understand how the little friend could be as stupid as many years ago, "If it is the third brother and the prince together, then it is certain that most of the troops who robbed the camp tonight are the entire Egyptian army here, and we only need to deal with one enemy, which is Egypt; But if it's one of the princes, then we may face more than one wave of enemies. β
"That's exactly what happened." Ah Zhai smiled and nodded, "Since there is no big problem with your arrangement, then I will also prepare to return to Babylon City after this and wait for your triumph." β
"Doesn't the teacher watch us defeat Egypt?" Subia stared at Ah Zhai with blank eyes.
"I believe in you, but I warn you that we have to pay attention to not only Egypt, but also Judah, who has rebelled." Ah Zhai paused slightly, "Actually, I don't recommend that you give up Judas, sometimes being kind to others has become a reason for the other party to bully you, we need a target to kill chickens and monkeys, to deter other subject countries, but the specific Cheng dΓΉ will be left to His Majesty to decide." β
ββ¦β¦ If, I mean, if I defeat Egypt, can the teacher print me a request? "Someone really wanted to get to the teacher, but in full view, he gave up on the plan.
"If only I could do it."
"You actually arrived a little later than His Majesty's battle report." After returning to the city of Babylon and resting briefly, he visited Elishya again.
"Really? Then it should be the news of the defeat of Egypt. "It was definitely unfortunate to be in a hurry before B.C., and Ah Zhai felt that he might have to sleep for at least a whole month to regain his spirits.
"They're all good." Elishya smiled, and after a while, handed another parchment to Ah Zhai, "But this, I don't think it's a happy store." β
"Medes' letter of state, what do they want to do?" Before Ah Zhai opened it to look at the contents, he saw the royal coat of arms of the Median Kingdom printed on the cover, and he didn't know why he always disliked this country in his heart.
"They want to marry His Majesty." Elishya crossed his fingers on the table with a stern expression, "This time it is a letter written by the king of the Medes himself, but his tone is very arrogant. β
Ah Zhai opened the parchment and looked at it, and he suddenly felt that Elishya's use of arrogance to describe this provocative and secondary letter was already very good for the other party.
"Again, I'm not going to let Oia sacrifice his marriage, he should marry a girl he likes." Ah Zhai leaned back, and he suddenly realized that he actually liked the soft couch in Elishya's house, at least it was very comfortable to lean on.
"In fact, when I saw this letter, I didn't approve of it either." Elishia rarely expressed his side with a clear expression, "I hope that His Majesty's marriage is not willing to have another dispute between Medes and Babylon, but now it seems that the new king of Medes is a typical master of the eye, he hardly cares about the practices of the nobles, and he is not willing to abide by them, so such a marriage will not achieve the results we expect." β
"Your opinion is still the same, to the point." Otaku smiled.
"But in any case, His Majesty's marriage needs to be on the agenda."
