    "His Majesty King Mohammed Farouk, King of Egypt and Sudan, Ruler of Nubia, Kordofan and Darfur, has arrived!"

    With this sound, the whole audience applauded.

    Mohammed Farooq I and his wife, Queen Farida, appeared in front of the guests.

    Wang Weiyi was also standing among the welcoming crowd. He suddenly found Queen Farida looking towards him, with some sadness in her eyes.

    "Probably the two guards she sent have told the queen what happened yesterday.

    King Farouk I was very considerate of the guests. He spoke very briefly, and then ordered the music to start, allowing himself and the guests to get back into the carnival.

    At this point, the Egyptian king performed quite well.

    King Farouk I greeted the important guests one by one. He also stopped in front of Mr. "Baron Andrew" Torkelson and warmly invited the Baron to play cards again if he had a chance.

    As soon as he left, Wang Weiyi found that many guests were like himself and quickly checked to see if he had lost any valuables.

    Strange, Farouk I is really a strange flower in the position of king

    Wang Weiyi doesn¡¯t have too many thoughts on the dance now. He is thinking about how to rescue Colonel Fels, who is crucial to Germany.

    Colonel Fels has too much information in his hands. In another period of history, it was precisely because Colonel Fels¡¯ identity was exposed and arrested that some fatal information about the German Afrika Korps and German high-level officials fell into the hands of the Allies.  From then on, the African Legion was passively beaten everywhere in Africa.

    Since Colonel Fels is still in Cairo, we must find ways to rescue him, and even have to kill him if necessary

    When he was thinking about finding an opportunity to leave the ball, a maid suddenly came to Wang Weiyi: "Baron Andrew, Her Majesty the Queen has something to discuss with you. Can you spare some time?"

    "Of course." Wang Weiyi knew why the queen wanted to find him

    Quietly left the ball and followed the maid to a very secluded place in the palace.

    It¡¯s really very hidden. If someone hadn¡¯t deliberately led the way, I wouldn¡¯t have thought that such a place would be hidden here. This is probably true of any palace.

    "Mr. Baron, Her Majesty the Queen is inside," the maid said and left in a hurry.

    Wang Weiyi walked in and was keenly aware that someone was ambushing nearby. He sneered in his heart.  It should be a guard in the palace, right?  These guys who stay in the palace all year round will never know that a real soldier walking out of the hail of bullets is definitely not something they can deal with.

    It was dark all around, which gave Wang Weiyi an excellent environment to provide cover.

    The two palace guards stared nervously at the man who walked in. He was the target that the queen ordered to kill.

    Suddenly, they were surprised to find that they had lost their target. The left guard's neck was suddenly caught by someone, and then they twisted hard. There was a slight "click" sound, and the guard fell softly to the ground.

    The guard on the right was shocked and hurriedly pulled out his pistol, but it was too late. An iron-like hand caught his throat, and then the other hand covered his mouth.

    The guard struggled desperately, but he couldn't get rid of it no matter what. Gradually, the movement of his body stopped.

    There are two more corpses on the ground

    Wang Weiyi looked at the corpse and shook his head.  Queen Farida is as beautiful as Cleopatra, but her heart is similar to that of Cleopatra. She actually wanted to kill herself for a gem.

    "There are four more people." Xiao Ling's voice sounded in his ears.

    Wang Weiyi nodded and quickly hid his body in the darkness.

    Within a few minutes, all the guards arranged by Queen Farida were dead.  Wang Weiyi was not worried at all whether this would expose him.

    Farouk I must not have known about the arrangement of these guards. He would never have the guts to kill a British baron.  Everything was arranged privately by Queen Farida.

    After neatly getting rid of these killers, Wang Weiyi saw a house with lights on in the distance. He arranged his clothes and walked there calmly.

    He pushed open the door of the room, and the woman who had been waiting for a long time turned her head: "Take the gem."

    It¡¯s Queen Farida.

    But she couldn¡¯t say the next words because she saw ¡°Baron Andrew¡± standing right in front of her.

    "Ah, Mr. Baron, you are here." Queen Farida quickly regained her composure, as if nothing had happened.

    "Yes, I'm here." Wang Weiyi said with a smile.

    "Those ignorant slaves, no one came to inform me." Queen Farida seemed very dissatisfied: "I will have someone pour you some drinks."

    This woman looks so beautiful and sexy, but why does she have such a heart?  Wang Weiyi couldn't help but shook his head: "Queen, if you are looking for those guards, there is no need to look for them, they are all dead."

    Queen Farida was shocked

    In order to regain the gem, she did not hesitate to risk being exposed and deposed. She sent two groups of guards one after another, but unexpectedly they all failed.

    And outside this room, there were six people, were they all killed by this "Baron Andrew"?

    It¡¯s terrible. If this is really the case, it would be terrible.

    "What are you talking about? I really can't understand." Queen Farida tried her best to keep her calm.

    "Yeah, you don't understand, but I think you actually understand better than anyone else." Wang Weiyi took out the necklace from his arms and dangled it in front of his eyes. The gem exuded a charming light: "This gem is very valuable, but  Not at the cost of human life. Six people have died for this gem. How many more do you want to die, queen?"

    Looking at the swaying gem, Queen Farida wished she could rush forward and snatch it back immediately, but she knew that she was definitely no match for the man in front of her.  She took a deep breath: "Six people? Do you think only six people died on this gem? You are wrong. This gem carries the history of the Sixteen Years War. Thirty thousand Egyptians died for it.  ¡±

    This gem?  Wang Weiyi brought the gem in front of him and looked at it doubtfully.  Apart from being precious, Wang Weiyi doesn't think there's anything particularly magical about it.

    "This is called the 'Stone of Kadesh', also called the 'Bloody Stone.'" Queen Farida said slowly: "It belongs to Pharaoh Ramses II of the 19th Dynasty of ancient Egypt. It comes from the Kadesh Stone."  "battle"

    The Battle of Kadesh was a battle between the ancient Egyptian pharaohs and the Hittite kings for dominance in Syria.  In the 14th century BC, the Hittite power that emerged in Asia Minor gradually advanced into Syria to the south, threatening Egypt's vested interests in this region.  At the end of the 14th century BC, Pharaoh Ramses II of the 19th Dynasty of Egypt mobilized his own troops, plus foreign mercenaries such as Nubians and Shardans, a total of more than 20,000 people and 2,000 chariots, to march towards Syria.  , the goal is to capture the main base and military fortress of the Hittite army in the area, Kadesh on the west bank of the upper reaches of the Orontes River.

    The Hittite King Muwatalis gathered about 20,000 troops near Kadesh, including the allied Syrian princes' army and mercenaries from tribes in Asia Minor, and 2,500 chariots.  In order to lure the Egyptian army into an ambush, Muwatalis sent "escapees" to lie to the Egyptian army that the main force of the Hittite army was still a hundred miles away, and pretended that Kadesh's defenders were weak.

    Ramesses II mistakenly believed it to be true and personally led the leading troops across the river to the south of Kadesh. As a result, he was surrounded by Hittite ambush troops. A follow-up troops were also attacked by Hittite troops and suffered heavy losses.  The trapped Ramses II resisted vigorously, released the protective war lion to "protect", and urgently ordered another follow-up force to quickly reinforce.  After the Egyptian reinforcements arrived, they attacked the opponent's flank in a strict battle formation.

    The Hittite king also used infantry and chariots to rush into the Egyptian army, and ordered 800 fortress defenders to attack and cooperate. The battle was very fierce.  Both sides were evenly matched, with no winner in sight.  The Hittite army retreated to the fortress, and Ramesses II was unable to capture the fortress and decided to return to Egypt.

    In the next 16 years, the two sides continued to fight, but neither achieved a decisive victory.  Around 1280 BC, Ramses II and the Hittite king Hattusilis III concluded a peace treaty to end the war.

    It is generally believed that this is the earliest war and peace treaty with written records.  The peace treaty stipulated that the Hittites and Egypt entered into a military alliance and each had the obligation to extradite fugitives from the other party.

    This battle is also one of the earliest recorded battles in ancient military history.

    Wang Weiyi had vaguely heard of the Battle of Kadesh, but he didn¡¯t remember it particularly clearly.  At this time, hearing Queen Farida's arrival, I felt a little bit of the bloody war that lasted for 16 years.

    "The war ended without a winner, but 30,000 Egyptians died in this war." Queen Farida said in a daze: "On the night when he decided to withdraw, it is said that Ramses II spent sixteen years collecting  The blood of each fallen soldier was soaked in a gem. This is the 'Kadesh Stone'. It is said that if you have it, you can have the power of 30,000 resentful spirits. Of course, you must have it.  Solution??The seal of this gem will do.  "

    Although he knew that thirty thousand resentful spirits were extremely absurd, Wang Weiyi couldn't help but shudder while holding this gem.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
