Wishing for peace and quiet is just my wish, in this world, how can you want to be able to make your wish come true.

I stood there, I only felt that the clothes on my body were getting heavier and heavier, and I was falling heavily on my body, so it was not comfortable for me to stand here, although the palace maids on both sides held on to the big feather fans to shield me from the sun, but the sunlight could still shine on my face and body through the gap of the feather fan, and the wind on the river was strong, blowing people to fall backwards. I could feel the sweat on my face, slowly leaking into a drop, slowly running down my cheeks, and the itch made me really want to raise my hand to wipe it. Tasha came over with a cotton towel and half-knelt down to gently wipe the sweat away for me. But the hot, itchy and irritating feeling can't be wiped away together.

In the distance, you can see the hunting ground by the river, and some people are riding horses through the papyrus bushes near the riverbank, shouting and shouting, and the hunting sacrifice is naturally not just like hunting lions, but also raising more than lions and beasts in this hunting ground.

Tasha whispered: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Pharaoh is heroic and unmatched, and he will definitely return unharmed and full of loads." ”

I sighed, but how could I put it down.

The men on the shore shouted loudly, and the brass whips whipped against the grass with such a loud sound that they could not tell where it was ringing, and they drove the beasts out of their hiding places in this way. I saw a gray shadow and was so frightened that I ran against the river, jumped up and plunged into the river.

It turned out to be a wolf, and several other animals jumped into the river after him, which shows how fierce the men led by Memphis were to rush into the hunting grounds. On the river, near the shore, there are several lotus flowers that have bloomed, and the flowers are the color of red, and they are so bright and vivid against the background of a green lotus leaf. The color of the lotus flowers in the palace is mostly pink and white, why is the lotus here so red? This red color is so bright and dazzling, why does it only look like it makes people think of bloodshed and killing, and the calm and dusty feeling of ordinary lotus flowers, it is completely absent.

I sighed, turned my head and looked in the direction of the hunting ground, for Memphis had already taken off the big dress we wore during the ceremony in order to facilitate the hunting on horseback, and he did not wear the golden crown. The guards galloped their horses and drove their prey into the open so that they had nowhere to hide, and although I couldn't see the details of it, Memphis must have been holding a bow in one hand and a horse in the other, ready to draw the sword at his waist and slay the beast at any time.

"Bring the boat to the shore."

Tasha was stunned for a moment: "Your Majesty, this ......"

"Dock." I looked at the hunting grounds: "I am not a weak and helpless woman, I can go on a horse and kill the enemy, and I can govern the country." There's no reason to let him risk it alone while I'm here watching. ”

Tasha bowed deeply, stood up after saluting, I turned and walked back to the cabin, Tasha ordered the boat to dock, and then carefully removed the gold crown from my head, untied the long and heavy gold-woven cloak, and then took off the heavy jewelry on my body.

The ship had already approached the shore, and the guards, who had received the news first, had come to meet them and brought a horse.

Unas came from behind, grabbed the horse's hitch, bowed down, and said, "Your Majesty, the hunting grounds are dangerous, please be careful. ”

"I know."

One of the slaves knelt down, and I stepped on his back, sat sideways on my horse, and took the bow and arrows that Unas had handed me in one hand. Unas let go of the reins, flipped over and got on another horse, following closely at my side.

"Where is Pharaoh?"

One of the guards pointed to the west and said, "There are two lions, and Pharaoh is hunting." ”

I nodded, "Go over there." ”

The depressed feeling in my heart just now seemed to dissipate a little, but the tense atmosphere in the hunting ground made my heart slowly tense again, and the long papier-mΓ’chΓ© leaves, with firm edges, swept past the feet and sides of the calves, and the feeling was slightly painful and tight, and I felt that the skin was a little hot. I drew my bow and shot an arrow at a wild sheep passing through the grass not far ahead, and the guards cheered, and two of them rushed to pick up their prey, while the others remained firmly by my side. Unas, who was half a horse older than me, followed me closely, and with a pair of eyes vigilantly looking around, I remembered for a moment that when I was in Minoa, and on the ship that came back from Minoa, he and I could be regarded as dependent on each other. In a small cabin on a ship, you can hear each other's breathing, and you can feel the heat on each other's skin up close. But when I returned to Egypt, the tacit understanding that I once had was shattered and diluted, and the feeling of peace and tranquility at that time could no longer be found.

Unas, what's going on in his mind? For this wedding...... For the fact that I am finally going to marry Memphis.

I'm in love with Immorton, and the man I'm going to marry is Mephis. and Unas...... After all, we only have a short fate of being on the same boat and road.

"Sister!" Memphis shouted from afar: "Why are you here!" ”

I put those thoughts behind and urged my horse to meet them: "I'm here to hunt with you." ”

"I can do it myself! There are a lot of people here, just now I shot and wounded the lion, it fled over there with the wounded, the grass there is deep, maybe there are other dangers, if the horse stumbles, it will be bad, sister, you go to the temple and wait for me! ”

I raised my horsewhip and pointed to the high platform of the temple not far away: "It's close, then you go lion hunting, I'll watch you here, and we'll go to the temple together." ”

The sun is getting higher and higher, and it is almost impossible for those who shine to look up. Seeing that he could not persuade me to leave, Memphis frowned, and ordered the guards around him to take care of me in half. I shook my head and said, "I'm safe here, you take everyone with you, and after the lion hunt is over early, we can go to the temple and finish the ceremony." ”

Memphis agreed, turned his horse, and led the men deeper into the grass to look for the wounded lion.

I stopped where I was, and looked around, and the grass was trampled and crushed into a piece, and men and horses and wild beasts were coming and going on the grass that had been crushed.

Out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly saw a little gold!

Lion?

I didn't have time to think about why another lion came from a completely different direction, drew his bow and shot at it! The grass was thick, and the gold flickered, and I wasn't sure if I had hit or not.

"There's a lion over there! Catch it and kill it! The guards shouted in agreement, and with a concerted movement, they took out all their spears, and those who did not have spears drew their swords and surrounded them in that direction.

Unas also crossed the sword, but he was in front of me, and did not go hunting for lions.

He turned his back to me and I looked at his back and shoulders. When he was at sea, he always tried to avoid coming face to face with me, so the most I saw was his shoulders and back.

In fact, he and I both understand that our relationship is like this at best.

I didn't know what to say to comfort him, I just felt powerless.

He seems to be thinner than he was then. But his spirit was fine, and he could see that his whole body was tense now, and he was on guard, lest there be any danger lurking around.

I sighed inwardly and whispered, "Unas, you're so tired like this. ”

He was silent and did not answer.

"What I said last time, you think about it again." Unas is good at everything, and that's what makes people feel good. As long as you don't open your mouth, it will be difficult for the gods to start. His silence is golden, worthy of me saying ten words and a hundred words, and I cleared my throat: "You should have your own people......"

My words were interrupted by the exclamation of the guards in front: "Your Majesty! ”

The voice was frightened and urgent, and my heart sank, and I felt my scalp tighten and my body stiffened, and I suddenly turned my head to look.
