We're still halfway there, and new news has arrived.

I was speechless after reading it, and handed it to Yali.

She whispered, "The king has been appointed to ...... In the next New Year of the Sun, marry the Nubian princess Ayili...... for concubines. ”

I watched the waves of the Nile water, the wind blowing on my face.

"Princess, this ......"

"It's already a boat." I said, "This time, let her have the upper hand." ”

"But she has no other plans, princess, you and Prince Memphis must be careful."

"Yes," I smiled, "that's nothing, even if she becomes a princess, I can't deal with her." "Think about the old man who gave me the so-called lover's medicine, most of it was a lie. But is there less poison in this world? It's like the kind of poison in my body, which is unaware of it, and it is also very powerful.

"Yali, you will be busier in the future," I said, "all the poisonous things in this world, you can find and ask them, and collect more of them, and I will do some bad things to show the princess in the future, all of them will be treated as vegetarians, and they will be bullied...... How could I let them misunderstand like this? ”

"Yes, Princess." "I'm going to do it with all my heart," she said. ”

"Gotta hold on."

"Yes."

I crouched down and reached for the reed leaves that had swept past the side of the boat.

"Yali, you said that people live, why is it so difficult."

"Princess, it's hard to live, but everyone still wants to live." She said, "Your road is more difficult, and Prince Memphis is brave and not careful, and the princess must help him well." ”

"I know." I sighed and stood up: "If it weren't for him, I had to do it for myself, those people must not be let go." ”

"Yes, the princess would have done it earlier, and there wouldn't have been this accident." Yali said: "Although it is said that the princess is the most suspicious of poisoning Ansuna this time, it is difficult to say...... The princess fell ill here, and the princess of Nubian Nassau came over there, if there is no connection in between......"

"Well, it doesn't matter who poisoned it now, they are all going to die anyway, and none of them can be left. Sure enough, as the old saying goes, the first strike is stronger, and the second strike suffers. ”

Yali chanted twice, and her eyes lit up: "That's right, the first strike is strong, and if you shoot slowly, you will be controlled by others, this is really ......"

"Alright, that's it." I said, "It's Memphis the day after tomorrow, right?" ”

"yes."

I nodded and said, "That's it, get ready, we have to welcome a new princess of the pharaohs." ”

When the boat arrived at the nearest pier to the palace, I stood at the bow of the boat, and at a glance I saw Xiao Man riding on a horse, arrogant and anxious, and couldn't help but raise my hand and wave it at him a few times, while turning back and urging: "Row faster." ”

Xiao Man didn't wait for the boat to come to shore, jumped up from the horse, got on the bow of the boat, and hugged me tightly with open hands.

I got my feet off the ground and had to reach out and put my arms around his neck, this kid ...... It's only been a few months since I saw him, why does he seem to have grown so much taller?

"Sister!"

"Memphis."

His strength was so great that I couldn't breathe.

I tapped him on the shoulder: "Hey, let me down." ”

He stubbornly said, "Don't let go!" ”

When the boat had already landed, the boy picked me up and put me on the horse's back, turned over and got on the horse, and as soon as he lifted the reins, he urged the horse to gallop forward.

The sound of horses' hooves was crisp, and the hot wind blew fiercely on the face.

I tilted my head and closed my eyes, and there was a moment of trance.

Xiao Man hugged me tightly: "Sister, don't leave me again!" ”

I didn't make a sound, and the wind whistled past my ears, as if it had blown through a thousand years of vicissitudes and a thousand years of loneliness.

Even if I don't say yes, my future and Xiaoman's future are tightly tied together, not to mention, we are the closest people to each other in this world, and we are connected by blood, inseparable and constantly cut.

I was carried back to the palace by him like this, my makeup was dirty, my hair was scattered, and I felt a little embarrassed to see the pharaoh waiting at the palace gate.

"It's good to be back," he greeted me happily, picked me off the horse with open arms, and lifted me lightly, "My daughter is more beautiful." ”

"Why, I feel a lot fatter than before."

"Girls have to be slim one or two, no matter how thin you are, you don't look good." He put me down, pulled Xiaoman with one hand, and pulled me with the other: "Let's go, let's get together as a family of three and talk." ”

My heart was warm and sweet, but his next sentence made people choke on their throats: "After the New Year, we will add another family." ”

Xiao Man's face changed suddenly, and I smiled and said, "Yes, Princess Ayili is gentle and beautiful, we have all seen each other, and we also know each other a little, which is better than strangers." ”

Pharaoh also laughed, so Xiao Man didn't speak with a straight face, and Pharaoh didn't reason with him, saying that he was born with a bad temper, and then said that I was gentle and obedient when I was a child, Xiao Man loved to cry and make trouble since he was a child, and several nurses couldn't serve him. Xiao Man's face became more and more ugly, and he didn't say a word after eating a meal. I was worried that he would have to hold back his internal injuries again, so I meant to eat something, so I pulled him away and left.

"I'm!" As soon as he came out, Xiao Man shook off my hand, pulled out his sword and slashed at the pillar, chopping the sawdust all over the place, and scolded in his mouth: "I can't get used to it!" It's like you can't live without a woman for a day......"

"Hey, shut up." I pulled him by the hand: "Go to me." ”

He stood still, and I pulled again, and then he returned the sword to the sheath and followed me back.

Ally had already put my luggage back, and the palace was still there, and the curtains were still there, as if the master had never left.

"Sit down," I said, "I have brought you a gift from Thebes." ”

"I don't want it!"

"Okay, who the hell are you angry with? If you're angry with others, don't show me a look," I pulled out a beautiful wooden box: "Open it and take a look." ”

He listlessly opened the box, which was filled with rolled parchment.

"What is this?"

"See for yourself."

He took out the leather paper scroll and unfolded it little by little, and his face became solemn and surprised little by little.

"Sister, this is ......"

"Here's a topographic map." I smiled and sat down next to him, "Do you like it?" In the future, when you become a pharaoh, you must lead the army to fight everywhere, and you can use this thing. ”

"Sister, you are so good to me!"

I smiled.

This is still from the old man, he traveled from south to north, this topographic map should be drawn by his own hands. Anyway, these terrains are all in his mind, and it is not difficult for him to draw another one, and he knows a lot about this one when I touch it, but he also acquiesces to what I do.
