When the slate was closed, all the light was gone. We zigzagged through the tunnel, which was an underground passage made of pure stone, and I think there should have been no more than ten people walking through it since it was built. It's so secret that maybe even Memphis can't remember it for a while, but my father told me about it once before he died...... Thinking back to that time, it seemed like a hundred years had passed, Tasha walked in front with a bronze lamp, and I followed behind her, and the footsteps of the two of us echoed in the narrow secret passage, and the more I listened to it, the more I felt that I had no bottom in my heart.
I'm not going to think about it now, I'm going to go out first. Sinuye's men should have taken control of the city, and the garrison in the palace may not be able to do so.
But I don't feel too worried, even if Memphis can control it, it may not be the same elsewhere, and those generals may not be willing to follow him. Besides, Upper Egypt is all my strength, and Sinuyeh's hand cannot be stretched out under any circumstances. As long as I can get out of my body...... As long as Immorton is fine......
Immorton! He'll be fine.
Tasha paused and whispered, "Your Majesty, it's over." ”
I said, "Hold the lamp up and I'll see." ”
The oil for lighting the lamp is not bad, the smoke is not big, and the smell is not choking. I looked at the wall by the light of the light, flipped a protruding mechanism, listened to the faint sound of kaka, and the stone above my head slid to the side, revealing a hole that could fit a man through. The light shone down from above, and Tasha bent down and said, "Your Majesty, I will take you up." ”
"Alright, it's almost as good as I asked you to go up."
I asked Tasha to put the lamp down, and I held her up with both hands, and Tasha climbed up the stone slab, and then bent down to pull me, and I said, "You don't have to pull me, you get out of the way." ”
She stepped back a little, I lifted my skirt, took two steps back, kicked one foot on the stone wall, took advantage of the momentum to jump upward, and with a pull of my hand, the man had already jumped out of the secret passage and stepped on the ground.
Tasha reached out and helped me, but I was already on my feet and looked around. The palace wall was only about ten paces away from us, and there was a closed side door, watching a few date palm trees gently swaying their leaves in the breeze, as if calm as usual, nothing had happened.
"Out of this door is considered to be out of the palace." I walked to the door, pinned the lock with a hairpin twice, took off the bracelet on my other hand and handed it to Tasha: "You go out of the palace now, and find a way to send the news back to Upper Egypt...... I thought for a moment: "The people of Sinuye should not have time to block the waterway, you go by the waterway!" ”
Tasha took the bracelet but did not take a step: "Your Majesty, don't you go?" ”
"Even if he catches me, he won't kill me, I'm going to find Immorton, you can go!"
Tasha looked extremely conflicted, she knew the importance of delivering the message, but she couldn't rest assured that I would be left alone.
"Don't worry, I have someone else at my disposal." I said, "Hurry up, the news must get out." Seeing that she slowly took a small step back, I urged: "Hurry." ”
Tasha gritted her teeth, knelt down and kowtowed to me before turning to leave, I closed the door and fastened the lock. Looking back at the direction of the temple, I wonder if Immorton was still there at this time. There was an anomaly in the palace, and with Immorton's shrewdness and composure, he was probably aware of it by now, maybe he was still there, maybe he was gone, it was impossible to say.
But I can only go to the temple first, and the people of Sinuye don't know if they have taken control of the whole city now. He must have killed Idhombu and trapped me before he launched it in full force, although Memphis is a fortified city, but it is not as difficult to break it from the inside as it is to break it from the outside, and Sinuye happens to be the one who controls the city's defense and army.
I made my way cautiously, and along the way I found an opportunity to change into the clothes of a slave girl. The door of the temple was open, and I looked at a broken stone sculpture in the ground, and a machete thrown in two by someone I don't know, and my heart tightened.
The rebels have already come to the temple? Immorton him, how is he now? What about the people inside? Why can't I hear the sound? Is it that the people inside are all from the rebels, or is it ...... All killed?
My chest tightened, and I knew I shouldn't move, but my heart was getting more and more anxious. Looking left and right at no one, I quickly flashed into the door of the temple, and there were several corpses lying in the courtyard of the temple, and the smell of blood rushed to people's noses, making people's chests feel stuffy, and I felt my stomach churning, and I wanted to vomit.
I took a closer look, and these were all dressed as soldiers, and there were no monks in the temple.
I walked around the corridor quickly, down the cloister.
Immorton, you must be safe! You'll be safe too!
There were also corpses in the corridor, and there was faint movement not far ahead. I picked up a bronze sword with a severed head from the ground that I don't know who had dropped it, and took two hurried steps towards the place where the sound was made.
Turning a corner, there was a small courtyard behind him, and a monk was splitting the long cone in his hand, knocking down a soldier hard. When he saw someone coming, he looked up in surprise, and when he saw me, he showed a look of surprise and surprise: "Your Majesty! ”
I didn't have time to ask anything else: "Where's Immorton?" ”
"Adults are ...... behind"
I didn't have time to say more to him, so I walked briskly to the back.
The monk followed closely behind me, explaining, "We have dealt with the small team that came just now. But our people went out to inquire about the news and haven't come back yet, what's going on outside? How can there be soldiers......"
I didn't have time to pay attention to him, and saw that the door in front of me was reaching out, but it was open to both sides before my hand could touch it, and Immorton stood there calmly in a white robe with gold trim, his eyes as calm and deep.
All of a sudden, I threw myself forward, and hugged him tightly with open hands.
He's alive, he's alive and well.
I can lose everything now and don't care about anything.
As long as he is safe, the sky will fall, and I will not be afraid.
