Chapter 28 Chapter Twenty Seven

The turbulent water flow is extremely thrilling.Su Ti picked up the leopard and put it on his shoulders, and warned her: "Don't struggle any more. Falling will drown you. ""You're just trying to make a fool of me. " "Do you want to try it?" She couldn't help being afraid, so she fell silent.In the waist-deep river, Su Ti waded crookedly on the big rocks under his feet. "Climb on my back and put your arms around my neck." "I should be able to swim." "I'll talk about it later after practicing." It was too late to say, but soon, Su Ti stepped on the ground, and the leopard exclaimed in fright.When he regained his balance and continued to move forward deftly and quickly, he felt the leopard hugging him even tighter.

"Take it easy and kick the water." She was still restless and anxious.Suddenly a huge wave hit Su Ti's head, but he didn't die, instead he floated to the shore by the waves. Once ashore, he planted a stake, tied a rope, and threw the other end of the rope over to the opposite bank to be fastened by another soldier.At this time, the leopard could have taken the opportunity to escape, but she didn't. The survivors of the attack and General Asher's bow and arrow team also came to the river.In the end, the infantry who crossed the river overestimated their own strength, didn't take the rope seriously at all, and let go of their hands laughing.As a result, because the weapon on his body was too heavy, he hit a stone protruding from the water as soon as he sank. He passed out and began to sink into the water.Seeing this, Su Ti immediately jumped into the water.

The river that swallowed two people in a row became more and more turbulent, as if delighted by hunting.Su Ti swam a few times under the water and found the soldier who fell into the water.He grabbed the soldier by the armpit with both hands to stop him from sinking, and pulled him up hard.At this time, the soldier suddenly regained consciousness and bumped his elbow back. Su Ti couldn't help but let go of his chest pain, and the soldier disappeared into the turbulence immediately.Su Ti couldn't hold his breath anymore, so he had to give up. "It's not your fault." Leopard reassured him.

"I don't like death." "He's just a stupid Egyptian!" Before she finished speaking, Su Ti slapped her backhand.In astonishment, she glared at him fiercely. "No one has ever dared to do this to me!" "yes?" "Do you Egyptian men often beat women?" "Women in Egypt have the same rights and duties as men. Think about it, you only deserve a spanking." As he spoke, he stood up with a threatening face. "Go away!" Leopard felt guilty. "Do you regret what you said?" Leopard closed his lips tightly and remained silent.

There was a commotion outside, Su Ti became vigilant, and other soldiers also ran out of the tent.He grabbed the bow and quiver and said to the leopard at the same time: "If you want to escape, run away!" "But if you catch me again, you will kill me." He just shrugged.The leopard cursed again: "You damn Egyptians!" It turned out that the noise outside was not the enemy attack, but the arrival of General Asher and his elite troops. The good news spread quickly.The soldier who had been a pirate excitedly hugged Suti and said: "I am so proud to have the opportunity to know you as a hero! Asher will reward you with at least five donkeys, two bows, three bronze spears and a round shield.

You won't be buried for long.You're brave, boy. There aren't many people like you, even in the military. "Suti is ecstatic. He has finally achieved his goal. Now is the time for him to ask General Asher's cronies and find out the doubts. He will not fail, he will make Pazar proud of him . A large non-commissioned officer wearing armor called out, "Are you Su Ti?" "It's him." The soldier who was a pirate rushed to say, "Thanks to him, we were able to capture the enemy's fortress, and he also risked his life to save the drowning soldiers."

"General Asher has appointed you as a chariot officer. From tomorrow onwards, you will assist us in hunting down that despicable Adafil." "He escaped?" The sergeant said angrily, "He's as slippery as a loach. But the rebellion is gone, and we'll catch this bastard sooner or later. His trap killed dozens of our warriors. He's like a murderous He killed people every night like the god of death, and bought the chiefs of the tribes everywhere, only wanting to create disputes. Suti, come with me, and the general will personally award you a medal." Su Ti had always stayed away from such exaggerated and boastful rituals to satisfy some people's vanity, but this time he accepted it.He went through all kinds of hardships just to meet the general.

Su Ti walked forward slowly, and two rows of soldiers beside him warmly welcomed him.Not only was he beating the shield with his helmet, but he was also shouting the names of the victorious heroes.From a distance, General Asher doesn't look like a soldier at all: short and small, his whole body shrinks into everything, and he looks more like a clerk who is familiar with bureaucratic work. Su Ti walked ten meters in front of the general and stopped suddenly. The others pushed him from behind, urging and encouraging: "Go! Is the general waiting for you?" "Child, don't be afraid!"

So Su Ti walked forward again, but his face was pale.Asher also took a step forward: "I'm very glad to know you, the archer who everyone praises. Suti, the chariot officer, now I officially award you the Golden Fly Medal for Warriors (a highly rated Medal of Honor, some of which have already passed away. Unearthed. The fly symbolizes the aggressiveness and perseverance of the exemplary soldier). You must keep this precious medal, because it is a testament to your valor." Suti opened his hand.All the colleagues came to him one after another, and everyone was very curious, wanting to see and touch this supreme medal.

Yet the honored hero himself appears absent-minded.Everyone thought that he was too emotional and lost his mind for a while. The general held a special celebratory reception for him that night.When he came back to the tent after drinking and celebrating, everyone made fun of him in every possible way.Could the beautiful leopard have other "raids"?Walking into the tent, Su Ti lay down with his eyes wide open.He didn't look at the leopard, and the leopard didn't dare to talk to him, and just curled up in a corner by itself. General Asher is like a vampire greedily seeking prey, isn't he?Suti could never forget the face of the high-ranking officer who had tortured and murdered an Egyptian a few meters away from him.

This mean and shameless villain, this duplicitous traitor. The morning sun shines in through the high windows and shines on a stone pillar. In this huge hall, which is 53 meters deep and 102 meters wide, there are 133 other pillars of the same size. pillars.The architect built the country's largest forest of stone pillars for the Karnak Temple, and the pillars are decorated with pictures of pharaohs offering sacrifices to the gods.The bright and dazzling colors of the pattern will only appear at a specific time, so only if you live in it all year round, you can follow the shift of light and shadow, one pillar after another, and one scene after another. These religious ceremonies that the world cannot see. Two men were chatting as they walked slowly down the central aisle.The person in front is Blarney, followed by the high priest of God Amon. He is seventy years old this year and is responsible for managing this sacred temple, supervising the wealth of the gods, and maintaining the order of the hierarchy. The high priest said with a bit of regret: "Blarney, I heard about your request. You once guided so many young people on the path of wisdom, but now you want to withdraw from the secular world and live in seclusion in the temple. What a pity! " "This is indeed my hope. My eyesight is weakened and my feet don't obey" But you don't seem to have aged that far. "Appearances can be deceiving. " "It's too early for you to retire now, isn't it?" "I have taught Neferi everything I have learned, and now I am taking no more patients. As for the residence of Memphis, it will be given to Judge Pazar from today." Blarney has made up his mind to withdraw, no matter what the high priest says, he always has some excuses to say no.When the high priest heard him mention Nefiri, he said, "Nebmun does not support your disciple." "He put her through harsh tests, but ignored her inner essence. Although she looks weak, she has an extremely strong heart." "Pazar is from the Thebes area, right?" "yes." "You seem to trust him very much." "He's a hot guy." "Fire is destructive." The high priest reminded. "It's well controlled, but it can illuminate everything." Blaney replied with confidence. "What role do you want him to play?" "Fate has its own arrangements." Every time Braney's words were witty, the high priest couldn't help sighing: "You have deep connotations, Braney! Your early retirement will cost Egypt a talent. ""The waves behind push the waves ahead. " "I also want to retire." Seeing the high priest's tired face, Blarney responded, "Your burden is too heavy." "Indeed, and it is getting heavier every day. Too much administrative work, so that I have almost no time to dive. The pharaoh and his staff have agreed to my invitation, and in a few weeks, I will move to the east bank of the holy lake. Go to the hut and concentrate on studying ancient documents." "We'll be neighbors then." "I don't think so. Your office will be much more luxurious." "You mean...?" Blarney asked puzzled. "You have been appointed to take over my duties." Dai Nisi and his wife Ninofa accepted Mei Feng's invitation, even though he was just an ambitious upstart. Ninofa also emphasized that the adjective "upstart" is perfect for him.However, this paper maker has a strength that cannot be ignored. He knows how to socialize, coupled with his work and competitiveness, it makes his future unlimited. Look, hasn't he already used some influence to gain the approval of the court?Dai Nisi would never allow himself to ignore such a potential businessman.So he tried his best to persuade his reluctant wife to go to the opening dinner of Meifeng's new warehouse in Memphis. This year, the Nile River has risen just right, and the amount of water for irrigated farmland is moderate, so that everyone can enjoy food and clothing. Egypt even has surplus grain that can be exported to various dependent countries in Asia.The great city of Memphis was overflowing with wealth. Dennis and Ninofa were sitting in a luxurious sedan chair with high backs, and there was a low stool in front of them. The carved armrests on both sides not only made the sedan chair sitters comfortable, but also highlighted their elegance.In addition to the canopy above the head to shelter from the wind and sand, there are two parasols that can separate the occasional very dazzling sunset afterglow. Under the watchful eyes of passers-by, forty porters walked briskly forward.Because of the long shaft and the many legs of the bearers, the citizens jokingly called this sedan chair a "centipede". "It is better to have a heavy sedan chair than an empty sedan chair" . Seeing passers-by stunned, no matter how much it costs, it is worth it.The appearance of Dennis and Ninofa really made the crowd who attended the banquet held by Meifeng and Sirix envious. Never in the memory of the people of Memphis have they seen such a beautiful car.For the envy of the crowd, Dennis just waved his hand back without saying a word, while Nino Fa frequently called it a pity because of the lack of gold ornaments. Two servants poured beer and wine for the guests.All the Mupes businessmen gathered here to celebrate Meifeng's entry into the small core of power.Now he has to push open the half-open door by himself, and prove his strength with absolutely strong actions.The Dainis couple's evaluation of him will have a key influence, because so far, all the top figures in the business world have all been recognized and supported by his couple. Therefore, as soon as they arrived, Meifeng nervously greeted them and introduced his wife Sirix by the way. Because of her husband's repeated admonitions, Sirix dared not say a word.Ninofa looked her up and down, with a look of contempt on her face.Dai Nisi looked around and asked, "Is it a warehouse or a store?" "Both." Meifeng replied respectfully, "If all goes well, I will expand the scale and separate the land for the two functions." "It's very ambitious." Dennis said disdainfully. "Do you feel bad?" "You can't be too greedy in business, aren't you afraid of indigestion?" "I've always had a big appetite, and I digest very quickly." Ninofa is not interested in their conversation, she would rather go to chat with old friends.Dennis understood that his wife had already made up her mind: she thought Mei Feng was too annoying, aggressive and unreliable.The ideals he speaks of are as fragile as bad limestone. Dennis glared at his master and said, "Memphis is not as easy to blend in as it appears on the outside, you have to think carefully. In the Delta, where you could call the shots, you have to live with the inconveniences of the big cities, and you may often have to worry about the little things. ""You are too pessimistic. " "I advise you to listen to me, my dear friend. Everyone has limits, so don't be too ambitious." "Honestly, I don't know where my limit is yet, so I want to try everything." Seeing that the hint seemed to be invalid, Dennis said straight to the point: "The paper provided by some long-established local papyrus manufacturers and sellers in Memphis is quite enough." "I will compete with these time-honored manufacturers with better quality paper." Meifeng is still full of confidence. "You're not bragging, are you?" "I'm very confident in myself." Meifeng then asked back, "But I don't understand why you are so...preventing me?" "I'm just thinking of you. Let's face it, you'll save yourself a lot of trouble." "I think you'd better think of yourself more." Dennis's thin lips turned white, and he asked coldly, "What do you mean by that?" Mei Feng's long loincloth kept slipping down. He pulled his belt and said, "I heard that you broke the law and got a lawsuit. Your career is not as brilliant as it used to be." Their voices increased, and the other guests naturally pricked up their ears to listen. "How dare you slander me with such groundless words. Dennis' reputation is respected by all Egyptians, but you Meifeng is just a nobody." "Times are changing." "You are simply spreading rumors and maliciously slandering me. I'm too lazy to have the same knowledge as you." Mei Feng refuted the guest's slander with righteous words: "Whatever I want to say, I will say it in public. It's other people's business to spread rumors and do improper things." "You want to sue me?" Dennis was trembling with anger. "Do you think you are guilty?" Mei Feng asked gently. Mrs. Ninofa took her husband's arm and said, "It's getting late, we should go." "Be careful." Dennis warned angrily, "If you fail once, you will be finished." "I've taken precautions." "You are so fantastic." "Maybe you will be my first customer. I will research a series of reasonably priced products according to your needs." "I'll think about it." Dennis finally gnashed his teeth and dropped such a sentence. The people present had different opinions.Although Dennis had indeed succeeded in driving away many people who talked but didn't practice, Meifeng seemed to be very sure of his own strength. Seeing that a wonderful duel is about to start.
