The next day we set out on our way before dawn, going round the city of Assyria and heading west. It was two days' journey from the place where the Egyptian army led by Sinouye was stationed. As he passed the royal city of Assyria, Memphis stopped his horse and looked up at the high walls, and for about a quarter of an hour he said nothing.
But that kind of gaze ......
The kind of aggressive light that flickered in his eyes......
I didn't say anything, but gently tapped the horse's belly with my toes, urging the horse to move on. The turban was tightly wrapped, and not a trace of wind could penetrate it, and the sun rose, and the sun was so hot that sweat was pouring out on the shoulders and back. There was a dizzying light and shadow in front of me, and I couldn't see the road clearly.
We are often sad about the hard journey and want to reach the finish line as soon as possible. But after arriving, I looked back and missed the difficulties along the way.
"Sister, what are you thinking?"
I pulled the cloth down a little bit and whispered, "I think of the last time I saw the younger brother of the king of Assyria, Shalu. ”
"Why do you think of him?" Memphis was curious.
"If that person is not very ordinary, then it is extraordinary."
"Huh?" He turned his horse close to me: "Sister, explain it to me, why do you say that?" ”
"Well, though I have not seen the king of Assyria, I have heard of it, and it can be seen from his methods of eliminating dissidents and expanding his power in recent years, that this man is cruel and arrogant, and has no trust in others, and wants to take all power into his own hands. And that Prince Luxia can save his life under him, or he has no ability at all, and his weak temperament makes Yar'an even bother to kill him. There is also a possibility that he can pretend to be very perfect, covering up all his light in order to ...... for the future."
"Sister Wang has seen him, right? What do you think of this person? ”
I thought for a moment: "I'm not sure about anything else, but I always feel that this person is not so simple. When people see me, most people will show a little ......" and a kind of soul-like expression, but I skipped it and didn't say, "But he is very calm and respectful...... The calm is a bit too much. Moreover, it can be seen that his courage does not seem small......"
"So, he's pretending?"
I smiled, "No, it doesn't have much to do with us." But it was the king of Aran, who took all the power into his own hands, and there was no one to rely on, and not one to trust...... In this way, he was no problem when he was in his prime, but if he had some omission, or something went wrong with his body, or something else, if someone wanted to replace him or do something else, I am afraid that it would be difficult for Yar'an to shake the situation at that time. ”
He nodded, his expression thoughtful, and said nothing more.
But I think what I just said may have planted a seed in his heart, right?
Memphis is like a young lion who is anxious to consolidate and expand his territory......
Even if he had no ambitions for Assyria, Arian was not a self-contained character. On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly, Song Taizu's words are really vivid and appropriate.
"Sister, are you tired, do you want us to get off the horse and rest?"
"No, let's get there as soon as possible."
"That's a little slower, you're ugly."
I laughed, "Don't mother-in-law, we need to hurry up now." I guess Sinuye must be going crazy, where can we wait for us to go slowly. If it's too late, maybe he'll have to take some drastic measures. If he had led his army into Assyria, what would ...... It's hard to say the nature of this thing. ”
Memphis glanced at Immorton, who was walking with me, and said with some reluctance: "Then, sister, you come and ride with me, and you can save some effort to rest." ”
I shook my head: "Okay, don't say more, I'm really okay." ”
Memphis snorted, and slashed Immorton with his eye knife a few times: "Well, if you feel uncomfortable, tell me immediately." ”
I remembered something: "What about Unas? ”
"He's in the back, my sister has something to call him?"
"Not really. But ah, thanks to him this time, Unas is really very skilled and courageous. I thought, when I go back, transfer him to me. ”
"That's fine!" Mephiz agreed: "I said last time to send more people to my sister, but you yourself refused to ask for it." Unas is definitely the first-class guard under me, and this time it is thanks to his sister that he can get out of danger smoothly, I will give him a promotion when I go back, and my sister will transfer him to use, I think he will be able to do it. ”
I nodded, and half-turned on horseback, and in the distance I could see Unas riding and following in the procession, still silent, inconspicuous.
How to describe it? He is usually like an ordinary stone, but when he encounters a need, he will immediately turn into an unsheathed sword, sharp and decisive.
What a contradictory man, where did he come from?
I remembered that I had seen him outside the palace, but I didn't know how he got to Memphis. I haven't had a chance to ask him these days.
Suddenly, the guards of the sentry in front of him rushed back with their horses and shouted: "Your Majesty! There was smoke and dust rising in front of us, and it should be that a large group of people was approaching. ”
My heart tightened, I reined in the reins of my horse, and turned to look at Memphis, and then to look at Immorton.
Memphis was quick to respond, and pointed his whip to the east: "Let's hide behind the hills over there!" Everyone, put your horse's mouth shut and don't make a sound! ”
We turned our horses and galloped behind the hills on that side, where we met a large group of men...... I'm afraid it's the Assyrian army, right?
Unas took care of his horse, came and pulled it for me, put his hands on the pedals, and I stepped on his hand and turned off the horse, without a horse, which was really inconvenient. When I got back, I had to ask the craftsman to make the horses.
