Augustus Road

I never realized that there was an extra chapter in this chapter, so dizzy. .

————————————————————————

"This is your trick, Calabis, you guy from a foreign race, you are wearing away my patience with you." When Catiline saw Calabis, an unknown fire rose in his heart, but he still wanted to keep it. The air of nobility.

"Wasting away the patience? This seems to be what Cicero often likes to say to you - I am just fulfilling my promise. I have said such words in the sex field and in the small square, but you always If you turn a deaf ear, you will suffer the consequences of despising my words." Calabis pointed his finger at Catiline, "Now that you are finished, why should I use honorifics for you anymore, Catiline? , you will be torn to pieces by wolf-like creditors soon. When your daughter and family are sold in the slave market in the future, I will give them a good price and let them bend humbly beside my woman's stove. Hold your waist and make a circle."

"How dare you touch my family!" The lightning flashed down, making Catiline's face turn paler and he roared angrily.

"Family? Do you think you will have a family soon?" Calabis returned Catiline's threats intact. After speaking, he pointed his fingers at Catiline contemptuously, "This is just the first step." Then he covered his head with his cloak with both hands, and turned around to leave surrounded by veterans and gladiators.

"Bastard, Langis must have been silenced by you! You still dare to lie to me, saying that the thing is in the Temple of Juno! Turn your back!" Catiline's question came from behind, but Calabis did not answer at all .

The second step came three days later, because the Senate was still controversial about Cicero's bill, and the president on duty finally decided to leave the bill to the gods for decision-the process was divided into three, each by the divination of the Temple of Jupiter. The astrologer, the astrologer of the temple of Isis and the virgins of the temple of Vesta are responsible. The fortune teller uses the intestines, the trajectory of birds and the climate, the astrologer uses astronomical movements, and the virgins use the sacred fire and the Sibyl prophecy - the last three parties. The results were announced at the same time. The arrangement of the Senate was very fair and would never allow the divination results to be equal.

The divination process of the three parties was all held on Catopil Mountain, and Calabis, who was monitoring everything in the Domugong Tavern, was sure of victory. The diviner was a member of the high priest Caesar, and there were four pottery urns on the previous day. of silver coins, plus two beautifully dressed boys, were delivered to the door of his house; as for the astrologer, who is said to be a descendant of the Babylonians, his reward was ten jars of expensive wine with a high neck and a slim waist, and gifts from two small farms. .

But for the virgin Lisilia, Calabis did not create such a tacky thing. Instead, in the name of "providing a retreat place for the virgins", he provided an exquisite villa with a garden, study, fish pond and fireplace.

"Do you think Li Xilia will accept it?" Domuka poured a glass of wine for Karabis and asked.

"If you don't accept it, just treat it as an investment in real estate, and then sell it to Crassus. He will definitely be interested anyway." Calabis didn't care at all, "Besides, the result of this divination is very good for Cati It was definitely a 'surprise' for Lin."

When Calabis was offering bribes, the helpless Catiline, who had only hope left to pay, led several hundred followers, pretending to be as arrogant as possible, along the Catopil Mountains. On the divination site, Cicero also came with almost the same number of men and horses, facing each other.

Cicero was obviously well prepared. His robe was deliberately pulled down under his shoulders, exposing his breastplate. Claudius and other young nobles accompanied him in high spirits.

"Your goal is to delay the consul's election and let the debts drag me down. To do this, you must have used dirty money to bribe three soothsayers." Catiline said harshly, "But Don’t underestimate the innate justice of the city of Rome. It will never be tarnished by hillbilly knights like you or copperheads like Calabis.”

"I'm sorry, who is Calabis? Okay, no matter who he is. This time I will kill you Catiline and the evil group behind you, and save the great republic. This is the obligation of every citizen of the republic. , whether he comes from Rome or not." Cicero shrugged, and then said with an incomprehensible expression, "You know why I wear armor, because I am afraid of you, Catiline, you are an unruly opponent. You incited the people, killed good people, made empty promises, and were heavily in debt. In addition, you also colluded with a large number of criminals who were dissatisfied with the Republic to subvert the Republic, and you did not hesitate to assassinate me, the consul of Rome! "

"Assassination? What a ridiculous slander." Catiline shouted.

Before Cicero could say anything, several screams suddenly rang out from the crowd. Several followers, perhaps from Catiline or perhaps from Cicero, had their throats slit by someone unknown. The scene immediately became tense. People on both sides took out hidden daggers, daggers, bricks and iron rods, cursed each other, and started fighting.

"Don't do it!" Catiline and Cicero shouted at the same time, but the whole situation was beyond their control.

Watching the random throwing and waving of torches and lanterns on the Capitol Hill, the few people who quietly retreated to the side quickly disappeared into the darkness of the streets below the mountain. In the tavern next to the sheepfold, they took off their cloaks and stood In front of a free man with an oriental appearance, the man threw one money bag after another into their hands, "Well done, no one in the whole city of Rome does it more professionally than you."

After those people took the money bags and left, the door of the inner room of the tavern creaked open, and the extremely graceful Princia turned out, "Carabis, when did you become interested in getting involved in the battle for power?"

"Oh, my beautiful Princia..." Carabis greeted her warmly, hugged Princia gently, and kissed the most famous socialite in a mood that was both warm and polite, with a very pious attitude, "I heard that you are now the mistress of Sura. Lenturus."

"It seems that this little girl Domuri has her heart set on you now." Displeased with Carabis's blunt words, Princia glanced at the somewhat uneasy proprietress Domuzin, leaned sideways on a seat, raised a glass of wine, "Yes, I am now having a hot affair with Sulla, and his stepson, Marco Antony, is also my lover. What, Carapis, are you now the censor of the Senate, and have you started to investigate the customs of Rome?"

"No, I'm just reminding you." Carapis slowly raised a piece of amber, "Sulla participated in Catiline's rebellion, and all the people who participated in the conspiracy are listed here, including him." After saying that, he pointed to the name "Sulla" on the amber board, and Sulla's ring seal.

Princia's heart was slightly shocked, and she moved back, but she was still calm, "Why? What can this thing mean?"

"I have given this thing to Crassus and Caesar for review." Carapis was also very calm.
