"Holy King of Egypt and Sudan, ruler of Nubia, Kordofan and Darfur, Muhammad. His Majesty King Farouk has arrived! ”

With this voice, the audience applauded.

Muhammad. Farouk I and his wife, Queen Farida, appeared before the guests.

Wang Weiyi was also standing in the welcoming crowd, and he suddenly noticed that Queen Farida was looking at him, and there was some grief in her eyes.

About the two guards she sent had already told the queen what had happened yesterday.

Farouk I was very considerate of his guests, and he spoke briefly, then ordered the music to play and re-engage himself and his guests in the revelry.

At this point, the Egyptian king still behaved quite well

Farouk I greeted the important guests one by one, and he also made a point of stopping in front of Mr. Tokson, the "Baron Andrew", and warmly invited the Baron to play again if he had the opportunity.

As soon as he left, Wang Weiyi noticed that many of the guests were like him, and quickly checked to see if he had lost any valuables.

Wonderful, Farouk I is really a strange flower in the position of king

Wang Weiyi is not paying much attention to the ball now, he is thinking about how to rescue Colonel Firth, who is vital to Germany.

Colonel Firth had too much information in his hands, and in another part of history, it was because of the arrest of Colonel Firth's identity that allowed the German Afrika Korps. and some of the fatal intelligence of the German top brass fell into the hands of the Allies, and since then the Afrika Korps has been passively beaten everywhere in Africa.

Since Colonel Felth is still in Cairo, we must find a way to get him out. He even had to be beaten to death if necessary

When he was thinking about finding an opportunity to leave this ball, a maid suddenly came to Wang Weiyi's side: "Baron Andrew, Her Majesty the Queen has some things to discuss with you, can you spare some time?" ”

"Absolutely." Wang Weiyi knew what the queen was looking for herself

Quietly leaving the ball, following the maid to a very secluded place in the palace.

It's really very hidden, if someone didn't deliberately lead the way, I wouldn't have imagined that there would be such a hidden place here. That's probably the case with any royal palace.

"Monsieur Baron, Her Majesty the Queen is inside," said the maid, and hurried out of the place

Wang Weiyi walked in and was keenly aware that there was an ambush nearby. He sneered inwardly. It must be the guards of the palace, right? These guys who have been in the palace all year round will never know that a real soldier who has come out of a hail of bullets is definitely not something they can deal with

It was dark all around, which gave Wang Weiyi an excellent environment to provide cover

The two palace guards stared nervously at the man who walked in, the target whom the queen had ordered to be killed

Suddenly, they were surprised when they found themselves missing their target. The left-handed guard's neck was suddenly stuck. Then he twisted hard, and there was a slight "click", and the guard fell limply to the ground.

The guard on the right was startled and hurriedly drew his pistol, but it was too late, a pincer-like hand caught in his throat, and then the other hand covered his mouth

The guards struggled desperately, but could not get rid of the gradual no matter what. The movement of his body stopped

On the ground, there were two more corpses

Wang Weiyi looked at the corpse. Shook his head. Queen Farida looked as beautiful as Cleopatra, but her heart was similar to Cleopatra, and she actually killed herself for a gem

"And four more." Xiao Ling's voice sounded in his ears.

Wang Weiyi nodded, and quickly hid his body in the darkness again

Within a few minutes, all the guards arranged by Queen Farida were dead. Wang Weiyi is not worried about whether this will expose him at all.

Arrange these guards, Farouk I must not have known what to do, he would not have the courage to kill an English baron. Everything was arranged privately by Queen Farida.

After neatly eliminating these killers, Wang Weiyi saw that the lights of a house in the distance were on, he tidied up his clothes and walked there calmly

He pushed open the door of the room, and the woman who had been waiting inside turned around: "Take the jewel"

It's Queen Farida.

But she couldn't say what she said next, because she saw "Baron Andrew" standing right in front of her.

"Ah, Mr. Baron, here you are." Queen Farida quickly regained her composure as if nothing had happened.

"Yes, I'm here." Wang Weiyi said with a smile.

"Those ignorant slaves, no one came to inform me." Queen Farida looked very dissatisfied: "I will have someone pour you something to drink"

This woman is so beautiful and sexy, but why is her heart like this? Wang Weiyi couldn't help but shake his head: "Queen, if you are looking for those guards, you don't need to look for them, they are all dead." ”

Queen Farida was shocked

In order to regain the gem, she did not hesitate to risk being deposed after being exposed, and sent two groups of guards before and after, but she did not expect that all of them failed.

And outside this room, there were six people, could they all be killed by this "Baron Andrew"?

It's horrible, and if that's really the case, it's horrible

"What are you talking about? I really don't understand. "Queen Farida did her best to keep her composure.

"Yes, you don't understand, but I think you know better than anyone else." Wang Weiyi took out the necklace from his arms and shook it in front of his eyes, the gem exuding a charming light: "This gem is very valuable, but it is not at the cost of human life. Six people have already died for this gem, how many more do you want to die, Queen? ”

Looking at the dangling gem, Queen Farida wanted to pounce on it and grab it right now, but she knew that she was definitely no match for the man in front of her. She took a deep breath: "Six people? You think only six people died on this gem? You are wrong, this gem, which bears the history of sixteen years of war, for which thirty thousand Egyptians died. ”

This gem? Wang Weiyi took the gem to him suspiciously and looked at it. In addition to its preciousness, Wang Weiyi doesn't think there's anything particularly magical about it.

"It's called the 'Stone of Kadez', also known as the 'Stone of Blood.'" Queen Farida said slowly: "It belongs to Pharaoh Ramses II of the Nineteenth Dynasty of Ancient Egypt, and it comes from the Battle of Kadesh"

The Battle of Kadesh was a battle between the pharaohs of ancient Egypt and the Hittite kings for dominance over the region of Syria. In the 14th century BCE, the Hittite powers that emerged in Asia Minor gradually advanced into Syria to the south, threatening Egypt's vested interests in the region. At the end of the 14th century B.C., Pharaoh Ramses II of the 19th Dynasty of Egypt mobilized his own army, plus more than 20,000 foreign mercenaries such as Nubians and Shardans, and 2,000 chariots, and marched into Syria in a big way, with the goal of seizing the main base and military fortress of the Hittite army in the region, Kadeshi on the west bank of the upper Orontes River.

The Hittite king Muvatalis gathered an army of about 20,000 men near Kadesh, including the allied Syrian princely army and mercenaries of the tribes of Asia Minor, and 2,500 chariots. In order to lure the Egyptian army into an ambush, Muvatalis sent a "fugitive" to lie to the Egyptian army that the main force of the Hittite army was still a hundred miles away, and pretended that the Kadesh defenders were weak.

Ramses II mistakenly believed this to be true and personally led the army across the river to the south of Kadesh, only to be surrounded by Hittite ambushes, and a follow-up army was also attacked by Hittite forces with heavy losses. The trapped Ramses II resisted vigorously, released the protective war lion to "protect", and urgently ordered another follow-up army to rush to reinforcements. When the Egyptian reinforcements arrived, they attacked the opponent's flank in a tight battle formation.

The Hittite king also threw in infantry and chariots, charged the Egyptian army, and ordered the defenders of the fortress to attack with 800 men, and the battle was fierce. The two sides were evenly matched, and there was no winner or loser. The Hittite army retreated to the fortress, and Ramses II was unable to take the fortress and decided to return to Egypt.

Over the next 16 years, the two sides continued to fight, but neither side was able to achieve a decisive victory. Around 1280 BCE, Ramses II concluded a peace treaty with the Hittite king Hatusilis III to end the war.

It is generally believed to be the earliest recorded war and peace treaty. The peace treaty stipulated that the Hittites and Egypt entered into a military alliance and were obliged to extradite the fugitives of the other side.

This battle is also one of the earliest recorded battles in ancient military history.

Wang Weiyi had vaguely heard about the Battle of Kadeshi, but he didn't remember it very clearly. At this time, listening to Queen Farida's eloquent arrival, I felt the bloodshed of the war that lasted for 16 years.

"The war ended in a dead end, but 30,000 Egyptians died in the war." "On the night of the decision to retire, it is said that Ramses II soaked a gem with the blood of every fallen soldier collected over the course of sixteen years, and this is the origin of the 'Stone of Kadez', the Stone of Blood. It is said that with it, you can have the power of 30,000 resentful spirits, of course, you must break the seal of this gem. ”

Although the 30,000 resentful spirits were extremely absurd, Wang Weiyi, who was holding this gem, couldn't help but shiver. (To be continued......)
