King Nurman was stubborn and brave by nature, with a very strong body, especially able to withstand cold No matter how cold the weather is, he doesn't wear thick clothes like ordinary people and insists on keeping warm for the winter; He doesn't need to warm himself up or feel cold There seemed to be a flame burning in his chest, and when he calmed down, bursts of flames would spray out of his nostrils. The enemies were intimidated and fled in panic
His son Sulk not only looks like his father, but also has a personality that is extremely similar to his father's He was born in a peaceful and prosperous era, received a good upbringing, and trained himself in martial arts. He was able to sweep through thousands of armies like a scroll, and when the enemy faced the mighty Sulk, everyone was terrified and retreated after being defeated His superhuman bravery Extraordinary courage not only intimidated the enemy, but also aroused admiration from the court and the people, calling him an unparalleled hero in the world King Nurman loved him like a pearl in his palm and had great hopes for him, hoping that he would ascend to the throne Lead the kingdom he conquered and pass it on to future generations
Under the careful nurturing of his father Nurman, Sulk grew up healthy and robust. By the age of 20, he had grown into a short and burly young man, with excellent martial arts skills The military combat capability has also reached the pinnacle People face such shrewdness Strong people always show respect towards them Impressed
King Nurman followed the legal procedures and married four concubines, but only Sulk's mother was able to bear children In addition, King Nurman also arranged 360 palace maids in the palace according to the calendar standards used by the Copts to serve the king and provide him with pleasure alone These palace maids were selected from various ethnic groups, and according to the classification system of 12 months per year, 12 palaces were built for them. Based on the number of 30 days per month, each palace was designed into 30 courtyards, making a total of 360 courtyards. Each palace maid lived in one courtyard throughout the year The king takes turns going to a courtyard every day, and the same palace maid stays overnight along the way, so that one palace maid can only see the king once a year King Nurman lived a life of revelry and indulgence
Prince Sulk is very diligent in learning and seeks advice from renowned teachers everywhere, thus gaining knowledge My martial arts skills are improving day by day, and I am proficient in various strategies and tactics King Nurman saw his son working hard and moving forward, filled with joy. In addition to enjoying himself in the palace, he relied on his own strong military strength to intensify the situation Invading and ravaging other weak ethnic groups without greed, constantly expanding one's own territory Dominate the field
At the same time, King Nurman was also very serious about passing on the family line and paying attention to whether the concubines in the harem were wealthy. He hoped to have more children to enrich the strength of his family and firmly control the conquered land in his own hands That day, he learned that a palace maid had a body and was so happy that he danced and prayed, hoping to have another prince He possessed this palace maid The date of pregnancy was recorded, and special treatment was given to pregnant women Take care of
However, unlike his father Nurman, Prince Sulk was very angry when he heard this news. He felt that he was the crown prince and replacing his father's throne was a natural thing. If he had a younger brother, he would have an extra person to share the world with He calculated in his heart, 'If this palace maid gives birth to another boy, I will have to kill him, and that will save one person from competing with me for the throne and the country!'

The palace maid with a body, named Sophia, was a Greek girl from Rome She was originally brought along with precious gifts by the king of Caesarea in Rome when paying tribute to King Nurman She stands out among palace maids, not only for her beauty Smart and honest Noble character On the night when it was her turn to spend the night with the king, she served him well and expressed her desire to conceive a prince for him She kept praying during her lifetime, hoping to give birth to a boy smoothly When she gave birth, the king specially sent three maidservants to guard her side, in order to inform her in a timely manner whether she gave birth to a boy or a girl At the same time, Prince Sulk also sent people to closely investigate Understand the situation in order to timely grasp first-hand materials
Sofia gave birth to a girl As soon as the midwife revealed this news, the people sent by the king and the crown prince immediately went to inform the discerning master separately Sulk heard that the palace maid had a girl, and the stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground, feeling extremely relieved But just as Sulk was enjoying himself, an unexpected thing happened: after the midwife gave birth to another girl, the mother Sophia felt another round of abdominal pain The midwife looked at it and realized that it wasn't finished yet, there was another baby in her belly! She helped the parturient, and soon after, she gave birth to another child, a boy!
Sofia's joy was beyond words when she saw herself giving birth to a pair of children for the king. She and her maid laughed uncontrollably The news came, and the entire palace was boiling with cheers Laughter echoed through every corner of the palace The other palace maids were actually unhappy after hearing this news. They also congratulated on the surface, but harbored resentment in their hearts Jealous
The happiest, of course, was King Nurman, who heard that Sophia gave birth to a prince in one birth A princess, overjoyed, personally ran to Sofia's room, kissed her forehead affectionately, and carefully examined the prince The princess's face happily held her two children in her arms and kept kissing them He named the prince Ma Kang and the princess Zaiman, and assigned nurses and nannies to the prince and princess, and asked relevant personnel to prepare a large amount of tonics The civil and military officials rushed to congratulate the king and spoke words of praise and admiration; Many palace maids came in groups to congratulate the king; The news spread outside the city, and ordinary people also took to the streets to celebrate with drums and gongs Anyone who comes to the palace to express their congratulations without exception will receive a heavy reward from the king
Like flowing water, four years have passed unconsciously. During these four years, the king visited Sophia's courtyard every few days to pay close attention to their diet and daily life The king constantly rewarded Sophia with some gold, silver, jewels, and precious clothes Jewelry, instruct her to take good care of the prince and princess During these four years, Crown Prince Sulk continuously focused on practicing martial arts and often competed with martial arts masters from all walks of life Comparing high and low He only knew that a little sister was born, but he didn't hear of another little brother coming out The people around him knew his psychology very well and were afraid of making him angry, so they never informed him, so he was kept in the dark
One day, when King Nurman was meeting with his ministers, a guard came to report:
Your Majesty, a group of envoys from King Constantine have come to seek an audience, stating that they have important matters to report and discuss
King Nurman agreed to receive the envoys, and the guards brought them to the court The envoys knelt down and kissed the ground, saying:
To Your Majesty the Great King, I have come to pay my respects and report to you on the declaration of war between the Kingdom of Constantine and the Kingdom of Caesarea, on the order of the King of Constantine. I earnestly request Your Majesty to send troops to rescue us. Currently, the fighting between the two sides is extremely fierce, with casualties on both sides. The cause of the war is as follows: a small Arab king discovered a treasure trove built during the reign of Alexander the Great in a conquered area, and obtained countless gold, silver, and gold treasures from it. Among them were three flawless and beautiful round beads as big as ostrich eggs, each bead covered in various ancient Greek talismans on its surface Those talismans have infinite power. It is said that if newborn babies wear these beads, they can not only eradicate all their own illnesses, but also prevent various unpredictable natural and man-made disasters The Arab king obtained the beads and after multiple experiments, he deeply understood the mysterious power of the beads Afterwards, he presented these three precious beads as gifts to the king of our country In order to transport these three precious beads and other valuable gifts, he prepared two large ships, one carrying goods and the other carrying escorts He thought that the places where the ships passed through were all within the territory of our Constantine state and would not be detained The condition of being plundered But something unexpected happened: as those two ships approached not far from our country, they were suddenly attacked by pirates. Among the pirates were people from the Kingdom of Zechariah, who not only took away three precious jewels and all the gold, silver, and treasures, but also killed the person escorting the gifts without a trace The unfortunate news reached the king's ears, and he was greatly angered. He then raised his troops to demand justice, but unexpectedly our army was defeated by the enemy and returned victorious The king is not satisfied and is preparing to raise troops again. He will personally lead troops and must defeat the king of Zechariah! To ensure this victory, our king has sent us to request the great king to send troops to assist our country and uphold justice We are extremely grateful for advocating justice and helping our country achieve complete victory "
The envoys explained their purpose and presented their precious gifts King Nurman looked at the gift and saw that there were 50 male and 50 female slaves born in Rome. He saw that these slaves were dressed in luxurious silk coats, wrapped in gold and silver tassels, and had pearls and precious stones hanging from their ears The earrings, which cost a fortune, and the materials used for the servants' clothes are all of high quality. All the jewelry is adorned with priceless pearls and gemstones, each exuding elegance and vitality King Nurman saw it and liked it very much. He gladly accepted it and ordered the envoy to be treated kindly He summoned his courtiers to discuss the matter of sending troops The prime minister of King Nurman, named Dandong, was an old minister over sixty years old He stood up and said to the king:
Your Majesty, I believe that we should send troops, led by Crown Prince Sulk and his troops. I will go straight to the front line and support the King of Constantine. The reason why I strongly advocate for sending troops is that the King of Constantine has sent envoys to seek help and bring gifts, and His Majesty likes these gifts very much. As the saying goes, 'gifts come and go.' In this situation, it is reasonable for us to send troops. Secondly, our country currently has no internal or external troubles and no worries. Your Majesty sent troops to support the King of Constantine, defeated his enemies, and turned him from danger to safety. Therefore, the military achievements should belong to Your Majesty. Your Majesty's majesty and renowned generals have spread far and wide, especially among people in the Maghreb region. Upon hearing Your Majesty's name, they will show respect and pay tribute to Your Majesty, which will further strengthen the national strength of our country
After listening to Prime Minister Dandong's proposal, King Nurman felt it was reasonable and agreed with his proposal, saying:
I have decided to send troops. You will be the commander-in-chief of this expedition because you have always been adept at planning and strategizing on major issues. Your words speak louder than words. Although Crown Prince Sulk is highly skilled in martial arts, he is young and energetic, and can command the main force and serve as a palace commander
King Nurman summoned Crown Prince Sulk to give him advice and explain the situation to him. He ordered him to mobilize troops and prepare for an expedition, and specifically instructed him to follow the command of Prime Minister Dandong Under the command of Sulk, ten thousand elite cavalry were selected for pre war mobilization, and Sulk personally went to the stables War horses were selected from the military arsenal Weapons
All preparations are ready, and a strong army is gathering outside Baghdad to await deployment King Nurman personally bid farewell and allocated seven boxes of gold coins to Sulk, and once again instructed him to obey the orders of Prime Minister Dandong in everything Listen to his instructions Prince Sulk repeatedly expressed his obedience King Nurman instructed Prime Minister Dandong to take good care of Crown Prince Sulk and his troops, and Prime Minister Dandong also promised to comply
Before leaving, Prince Sulk reviewed the troops again and made pre war mobilization arrangements The whole city also supports the elderly and children Coming to bid farewell with drums and gongs, the scene was spectacular with a sea of people and banners covering the air Prime Minister Dandong and Crown Prince Sulk rode horses at the forefront of the procession, and the large group of people embarked on their journey The envoys of the Kingdom of Constantine saw this army and horses incredibly strong, with banners fluttering in the wind, and volunteered to serve as guides, running to the front of the procession to lead the way The team marched non-stop for a whole day, and only stopped to camp and rest when night fell So they slept and slept for 20 consecutive days On the night of the 21st day, the team arrived at a vast valley overgrown with plants. Sulk ordered to camp overnight and rest for three days He chose the center of the valley as the camping site for the army headquarters and envoys, and the troops set up tents and camped on both sides of the valley After everything was arranged, he thought that this place was already within Roman territory and very close to the enemy camp. He also thought of his father's gentle guidance to him and the need to carefully investigate the truth and falsehood View the terrain Knowing oneself and one's enemy is the key to winning a hundred battles So he left the guards at the headquarters as the commander-in-chief By the side of Prime Minister Dandong, he wants everyone to rest well Full of energy, he went to strike the enemy, while he walked alone along the edge of the valley, letting the warhorse keep moving forward to explore the terrain Master real intelligence
The warhorse carried him step by step forward, and at the second watch, Sulk, who was riding on the horse, felt exhausted I'm so tired, my hands and legs seem to be out of control He can take a nap while riding a horse even when he is very tired while practicing martial arts At this moment, he was so tired that he couldn't keep his eyes open and unknowingly fell asleep The warhorse continued to move forward step by step. In the middle of the night, Prince Sulk suddenly woke up from his horse. He rubbed his eyes and found himself in a dense forest. Looking up, the moon shone through the cracks in the trees, casting a few beams of cold light He stared at the moon for a while and saw that it was gradually tilting towards the west. He followed the direction of the moon's light and found a spacious and flat lawn there. He rode away and found that the lawn was very quiet Vibrant and accompanied by crisp and pleasant bursts of laughter He became excited and his drowsiness disappeared completely. He jumped off his horse and tied it to a tree He walked in the direction of the laughter and saw a river in front of him. He heard a girl say:
Swear by Jesus Christ, you may find this kind of thing unpleasant and full of complaints. But I can tell you that whoever complains, I will fall and tie her arms with a belt
Following the sound of his voice, Sulk hurriedly walked away and pushed aside the branch. He was surprised to see a stunningly beautiful natural landscape painting in front of him, with the river gurgling and dense trees along the riverbank Flowers and plants are flourishing, and birds and beasts are freely and leisurely moving in the distance Further away, there is a Christian monastery with towering buildings. The river flows through the monastery and slowly onto the lawn There is a girl on the grass, surrounded by 10 young girls, all of whom are incredibly bright Wearing fashionable clothing The girl called out to her sons and said:
Come and throw yourself at me before the moon sets and the sun rises
The sons of those girls were all rubbing their fists and wrestling with the girls one by one, but none of them were her opponents, and in the end, they all fell to the ground I tied it up with a belt At this moment, an old woman walked over and fiercely said to the girl:
What are you proud of, you little devil? I've already knocked them down 40 times at my age, and I don't think it's anything special. If you fall down tomorrow, you'll be so happy to be so arrogant. What qualifications do you have? If you have the ability, come and compete with the old lady. Let me teach you a lesson and make you stand up and fall backwards
Are you joking? "The girl smiled and said," If you really want to compete with me, then I'll have to accompany you
The old lady was so angry that she gritted her teeth when she saw the girl dare to challenge her bristle with anger. The girl approached and was about to wrestling with her when the old woman said:
Wait a minute! I'm going to take off my clothes and compete with you
Speaking, the old woman took off her clothes and wrapped her lower body in a silk scarf She rushed towards the girl and shouted
Come on, if you have the courage, come up and take over
The fierce competition was about to begin, and Sulk was sweating profusely for that girl. The old woman's face was fierce His personal image is detestable, and he hopes that the girl can defeat the old lady
