"I am Cleopatra, the daughter of Pharaoh Aulet." The other party said.

"It turned out to be Her Royal Highness." Zhang Beichen also had information about her, and Pharaoh Olete asked her to marry her younger brother before he died, and jointly govern the Ptolemaic dynasty.

"May I ask Her Royal Highness what is the reason for this?" Zhang Beichen asked.

Cleopatra said, "Messenger of the Great Qi, I have come to tell you that Crotis wants to murder you all at the banquet and seize your merchant ships!" ”

She thought that Zhang Beichen would be very surprised, but Zhang Beichen was not surprised at all as if she had expected it, but asked, "Why did the queen tell us this news?" ”

Cleopatra hesitated, and Zhang Beichen said: "Don't worry, the queen, I will never reveal our conversation." We at Daqi pay great attention to integrity. ”

Cleopatra then said, "I want to leave the royal city with the help of your strength. ”

Although she didn't say much, Zhang Beichen was not surprised by this kind of struggle for the throne, and after a little thought, she knew that she must have a conflict of interest with Crotis and was unwilling to be controlled by the other party, so she wanted to leave.

"We do not want to interfere in the internal affairs of the Ptolemaic dynasty." Zhang Beichen said.

Cleopatra's eyes suddenly darkened, the reason why she took the risk to report the news was that she hoped to follow the strength of these Great Qi people to leave.

Now the royal city is full of Crotis people, and the royal city is tightly controlled by him, and only the people of Daqi can freely enter and leave the royal city.

Cleopatra was about to leave, but Zhang Beichen added: "Her Royal Highness the Queen, our King of Great Qi, I know how to repay you." If things are as you say, we will repay you for your kindness. ”

……

Cleopatra left, and Zhang Beichen immediately found someone to prepare.

"The crew is not allowed to disembark and is ready to fight at any time." Zhang Beichen said, "As for the palace, the soldiers who follow me must be above the Seven Realms!" ”

"Yes!"

……

[Crotis repeatedly invited the entire crew of the ship to the banquet, but you refused.] In desperation, he invites you to a banquet with his cronies. 】

Crotis thought very clearly, as long as Zhang Beichen and his cronies were controlled, and then tricked or threatened other crew members, he could also get those treasure ships and the treasures on board!

[You and dozens of your cronies went to the palace for a banquet. 】

At the banquet, Crotis was very enthusiastic, and he also found a group of beautiful women to play music and dance, and kept persuading him to drink.

Zhang Beichen and his cronies paid great attention to it, Zhang Beichen was a holy realm, and ordinary poisonous wine was useless to him at all.

Cronies also try to drink as little as possible to stay in shape.

When everyone pretended to be drunk, Crotis finally couldn't sit still, and said to Zhang Beichen: "Envoy of Great Qi, this king wants to buy your merchant ship, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Beichen said: "Our merchant ships belong to our emperor of Great Qi, and it is impossible to buy and sell!" ”

Crotis laughed and said, "It came to my Ptolemy, the king's!" ”

As he spoke, he threw Zhang Beichen a piece of gold and said, "All your ships, this king has bought them!" ”

"Before this king receives the goods, you can live here well!"

As he spoke, he asked the soldiers to take down Zhang Beichen and the others.

Zhang Beichen sneered: "Crotis, you really covet our fleet!" ”

"Dare to speak to this king, this king wants you to see the torture of my Ptolemaic dynasty!" Crotis was also fed up with the politeness of Zhang Beichen and others.

"Haha." Zhang Beichen laughed and said: "Crotis, we have a saying in Daqi, those who offend me Daqi will be punished even if they are far away!" ”

"You're going to pay for today's decision!"

"Don't arrest them yet!" Crotis shouted.

The soldiers surrounded them, and their cronies immediately fought with them, and Zhang Beichen directly shook the people around him.

"Holy Realm?" Crotis was shocked.

Zhang Beichen wanted to kill Crotis directly, but a powerful prohibition appeared on his pharaoh's scepter to block him.

At this time, several more priests of the Ptolemaic dynasty appeared, all of whom carried the aura of the Holy Realm.

Zhang Beichen knew that the pharaoh who forcibly killed the other party in the palace was still a little reluctant, so he led people to break through.

[After a fierce fight, you finally broke through! 】

"Stupid, they must be caught, send troops to the port quickly, we can't let them escape, the fleet must be the king's!" Crotis immediately ordered.

……

Inside the palace, Cleopatra has been keeping an eye on the banquet.

Seeing that the banquet was chaotic, she immediately became nervous.

At this time, someone sent her a message: "Your Royal Highness, our lordship asks you to leave with us." ”

"Are you the person of Zhang Beichen, the envoy of Great Qi?" Cleopatra asked.

"Exactly."

Cleopatra hesitated a little, if she was caught leaving at this time, wouldn't it just give Crotis a handle?

But if you don't leave now, after marrying Crotis, you will never be able to escape his control!

After a few seconds, she decided, "Okay, I'll leave with you!" ”

Cleopatra also had a group of cronies in the royal palace, and she led them out of the palace with the people of Daqi, rushed out of the royal city, and went to the port.

Pharaoh's army pursued and killed all the way, and you fled all the way to the port. 】

Pharaoh's army pursued him to this point, but by this time the crew of Daqi had already received orders, and they bombarded the port, easily taking control of the port and receiving Zhang Beichen and Cleopatra aboard.

Pharaoh's army did not dare to approach the sea at all, and could only watch the fleet leave.

Seeing Daqi's fleet, Cleopatra realized how strong Daqi was!

What kind of country can have such a strong fleet! Just the people in the fleet and this fleet are like a moving sea fortress!

In this day and age, it's simply unthinkable! But it actually happened!

……

In the cabin, Zhang Beichen looked at Cleopatra and asked, "Your Royal Highness, what are your plans next?" ”

Cleopatra said: "I hope that Your Excellency will send me to another city in Ptolemy, where there are my cronies. ”

"Yes." Zhang Beichen did not refuse.

Instead, Cleopatra asked, "Do you plan to return to Daqi next?" ”

"Of course not!" Zhang Beichen said, "Crotis has committed a great crime against us, and I will definitely punish him!" Otherwise, in the future, no one in the coastal countries will dare to covet the treasures of my fleet! ”

Cleopatra said: "Daqi should be a very powerful country, but it is too far from here. Our Ptolemaic dynasty is not weak, after all, your Excellency only has tens of thousands of soldiers, and if you want to fight Crotis, it is still too weak. ”

"I don't have to worry about this queen, I have my own way." Zhang Beichen said.

He has also inspected the combat effectiveness of the army of the Ptolemaic Dynasty these days, and compared with the soldiers of Daqi, whether it is personal quality, equipment or the collective quality of the army, it is much worse!

As long as the plan is done properly, relying on the 30,000 soldiers of the fleet, Zhang Beichen will dare to attack the royal city!

……

Cleopatra stayed on the ship, she was a maiden after all, and she was full of curiosity about everything new.

So, she began to visit everything on the ship, and the more she looked, the more curious she became, and even chased after Zhang Beichen and asked everything about the big eastern country.

She found that this Daqi person was very knowledgeable. Astronomy and geography, the art of war, articles, it seems that there is nothing he does not understand!

Even the most mundane thing like cooking seems to be an art in his hands!

Zhang Beichen seemed to be full of mystery all over her body, which made her want to find out.

"How many times is the territory of Great Qi than the territory of Ptolema?"

"Can Great Qi be stronger than Rome?"

"How did you build such a big ship?"

"These clothes are so beautiful......"

Cleopatra served as Zhang Beichen's junior attendant on the ship for more than a month, and the fleet arrived at another port of the Ptolemaic dynasty, where she would disembark.

"Zhang Beichen, will we meet again in the future?" Cleopatra has a reluctant expression, and unlike the women of Daqi, she expresses her emotions more directly.

"There's a chance." Zhang Beichen said.

He took out a musket, handed it to Cleopatra, and said, "This is a musket I have made with my own hands, and I will give it to you as a gift, and to protect yourself if necessary." ”

"Thank you." Cleopatra took the gift, then hugged Zhang Beichen, and after a few seconds, she stood up, squeezed out a bright smile, and said, "The next time we meet, I will definitely become a real queen!" ”

"I wish you all the best!" Zhang Beichen blessed.

Zhang Beichen watched Cleopatra get off the boat, and behind him, his subordinates asked, "Prime Minister, let her go like this?" ”

Zhang Beichen pondered for a moment and said, "Send a few elites to follow her secretly, remember, to protect her safety." ”

Cleopatra had an even greater use as the rightful heir to the Ptolemaic dynasty.

Since the current pharaoh Crotis is disobedient, then change to an obedient one to be the pharaoh! Cleopatra is the perfect candidate.

……

【Your fleet is temporarily docked at the seashore and begins preparations for war.】 】

Zhang Beichen has already planned to attack the Ptolemaic Dynasty and kill Pharaoh Crotis! He was now sending scouts to learn the terrain of the offensive route and the state of the garrison.

……

On the other side, Cleopatra disembarked and went with her cronies to the noble realm that was loyal to her.

"Your Highness, now that Pharaoh has ordered you to be wanted, the generals of the army who once swore allegiance to you have also fallen to Pharaoh." The nobleman said helplessly.

After Crotis took power, all the generals fell to him.

"Do we don't even have an army to use?" Cleopatra asked.

"Unfortunately, no."

Cleopatra was a little desperate, without an army, what could she resist with?

"Wait and see, I'll contact them personally!" Cleopatra could only do that.

Cleopatra contacted a number of generals who had previously declared their allegiance to her in an attempt to gain their support, but these people not only failed to support her, but also informed Pharaoh of her whereabouts, and Crotius sent a large army to capture her.

Cleopatra was forced to embark on a career as a fugitive.

At this time, another major event occurred in the Ptolemaic dynasty.

Caesar, the consul of the Roman Republic, led his army to pursue Pompey, the leader of the rival forces, to Ptolemy's territory. 】

The Roman Republic was the absolute hegemon of the West at this time, and its great armies conquered the Western countries.

The consuls were the supreme governors of the Roman Republic.

Pompey once competed with Caesar for the position of consul, and after defeat, he led his troops to rebel, but he could not defeat Caesar and was pursued here.

……

Pompey came to the royal city of Ptolemaic and asked for the aid of Pharaoh Crotis.

"Crotis, if you are willing to help me resist Caesar, when I return to Rome, I will definitely reward you!" Pompey painted a pie for Crotis, but he underestimated Crotis' greed.

"Helping Pompey will inevitably draw the wrath of Caesar. How was the Ptolemaic dynasty an opponent of Caesar? Crotis thought, "Why don't you capture Pompey, annex his army, and give him to Caesar for credit!" ”

He ordered Pompey to be captured and handed over to Caesar.

……

In a group of mighty cavalry, a man in armor rode a war horse and was at the front of the line. In front of him, Pompey was tied up and knelt underneath.

This person was none other than Caesar, the consul of the Roman Republic, who deterred the existence of the Western nations.

"Caesar, I don't want to go against you, it's all those people in the Senate, they dictate me!" Pompey tried to beg for mercy.

However, Caesar's expression was grim and he said, "Whoever betrays me, die!" ”

With that, Caesar raised his sword and cut off Pompey's head with a single sword.

He said to the messenger of Crotis: "Crotis has done a good job, and Rome will give him the reward he deserves!" ”

"Thank you, sir!"

……

Ptolemaic dynasty, in a small city.

Cleopatra hid here with her cronies, and she learned about what had happened to the Ptolemaic dynasty.

Crotis offered Pompey and gained the trust of Caesar, who would declare him Pharaoh in the name of the Roman Republic and give him a reward!

"Queen, now we only have one chance!" The cronies persuaded, "If you can get Caesar's support, relying on his Roman army, Crotis will have to recognize your status!" ”

"It is even possible for you to become the real pharaoh of the Ptolemaic dynasty!"

Cleopatra was silent for a long time.

Until the evening, she looked at the night sky, the direction of the east, and couldn't help shedding two lines of tears.

"It's a pity that Daqi is too far away. In order to survive, I will have to make such a decision......"

Wiping away her tears, Cleopatra stood up and said to her cronies, "Go, go to Caesar's camp, I will go to him!" ”

……

"She's going to the camp of the Roman army?" The master sent by Zhang Beichen noticed Cleopatra's movements.

"Hurry up and tell your lordship!"

One of them quickly left and went to the beach to report the news.

"Cleopatra going to the Romans?" Zhang Beichen pondered, "She wants to seek the help of the Roman army and seize the throne!" ”

"No, whether she succeeds or not, once Rome intervenes in the affairs of the Ptolemaic dynasty, the matter of trade with me will be completely shelved." Zhang Beichen said.
