Augustus Road

"But..." Princia murmured. .

"It's nothing, you are just a target for rehearsal. So I give you three days to collect your most critical property, leave the seven hills, go farther, and remember not to provoke the horse again. Damn it. As for your several abbeys and taverns in the city, leave them to Domugong for the time being, otherwise, Claudius's mob army will destroy them all soon."

"You mean to transfer my property to Domuka?" Princia couldn't believe her ears.

Li Bida sighed and said, don't go so far as to say that Duo Mujiang is yours. He should be taken care of on your behalf. You still have the property deed and so on, and there is still a lot of rent for you to enjoy every year. After saying this, he He squatted down and said to Princia in a very soft tone: "Listen, my conditions are very lenient. Your last chance was lost one day next to the Pompeii Coliseum. It's because of my kind heart and my kindness. Give you a chance, look at you, your properties with beautiful boxwood signs and exquisite small rooms are so beautiful. I can’t bear to let Claudius destroy them all, or let Crassus’ people destroy them all. Burn them all."

When Princia heard this, she thought that even if she wanted revenge in the future, she couldn't do it now when Lepidus was in the spotlight. She immediately hugged Lepidus' legs, kissed his toes fiercely, begged for his forgiveness, and said Willing to honor his request within a day.

When Princia made this humble gesture, Claudia from far away smiled from ear to ear.

Early the next morning, Princia went home and took a hurried bath, put on the wound medicine and got dressed again. Then she hurriedly left the city of Rome and headed for Campania, taking the house deed, jewelry and a few personal men and women with her. She was so miserable when she left. She heard that she had been riding in a light carriage and howled all the way.

In the tavern next to the sheepfold, Lepidah handed the jingling key chain with a brisk sound into Duo Mujiang's hand, "Are you happy? I told you that Princia will be finished sooner or later, and now she has these You can take care of the property, accumulate some experience in this area, find two noble silk clothes to dress yourself up, and you will be the new queen of the romantic world of Rome." Unexpectedly, Duo Mujiang just put the key chain on the counter indifferently. He locked it up and asked the two maids to take good care of it. Then he thanked Lepidus a little and asked him where he wanted to drink high-end wine.

This made Li Bida feel that the boss was boring, but he still directly stated his request today, "Immediately, you go and be my adoptive father's nurse and make him more comfortable. I will sign a charter contract with you. What do you think?" What about the annual quota of thirty thousand dinars? Also, the Ptolemaic entertainment contractor in Naples has also gone to your house."

"Twenty thousand is enough. I don't like forcing others to owe favors." Duo Mujiang's words were clearly directed at Li Bida. Li Bida didn't say much. He just took a few sips of wine with some embarrassment and found an excuse to leave the tavern.

"Hey, do you want the property of your patron's family? Although I can understand your willingness to take care of your patron, you won't do this completely for free, right? A few years ago, when you were broke, At that time, when I was sitting in my tavern wearing blood-stained clothes, I said that your patron could buy half of the city of Rome, which is no less than Crassus's property, right?" Domuka turned and looked at him. Lepidus, who was about to leave at the door, suddenly said.

"Maybe there will be one day, but that day will definitely be the day when both Tuna and Marcos die." Lepidus felt something very hesitant stirring in his heart. He had to admit that yesterday, when Princia begged him with a stench all over her body, , he felt full of lust, a kind of lust in which a strong man would play with the fate of the loser at will. If it was said that the other party came to harm Catiline in the past, or that it was a professional necessity to trick Pompey in the past, but this time He was very clear about Princia's situation. Rather than saying it was for his adoptive father, it would be better to say it was for the feeling in his heart, a feeling of being addicted to power drugs.

"Isn't this what men like most after the age of 30? There is no exception in ancient and modern times. Isn't this mentality of mine normal? What's so surprising!" Li Bida was a little drunk, holding on to the gables and fences beside the street. He walked slowly around the apartment, and then he saw Caesar's crony Ebro walking towards him. He tried his best to straighten his tired body and pretend to be energetic. Naturally, Ebro came to him to discuss things, "Barcelona Tus' proposal is still being blocked. The entire Senate knew about Claudius's destruction of the court, and now Cato and Cicero are using this to block the proposal. "

"What does Caesar think of this matter?" Lepidus asked, wiping his forehead and nose with his hands.

Ebro laughed and said "Caesar privately said that nothing could be more wonderful than such an act."

"That's very good. Please report back to the consul. It will be the turn of those who hinder him to suffer misfortune soon." Now that Lepidus heard that Caesar had acquiesced in using street violence as a means of political struggle, he became confident, so last time he asked Ke Lao Di made a scene in court, just throwing stones to ask for directions.

"Listen carefully, your lord the consul has made a wish for you in front of the statue of Venus. As long as you can squeeze out Cato and Cicero, you will be the official treasurer of Illyria in the coming year. Your thyme army can be on the Rubicon River. "Promoted to the Twelve Legions." This was brought by Ebro, Caesar's condition.

Lepidus was shocked. He hurriedly asked Ebro that what Caesar had in Lusitania before was the most standard "small joint legion", that is, one regular legion (the 10th Legion) plus two auxiliary legions (the 13th Legion and the Thyme Legion, the latter of which was of lower standard and almost belonged to the type that would be disbanded immediately after the war, but Caesar thought about it and left this blood to Lepidus and himself). Now if Caesar succeeds in operating the "Basatus Law", he will accept General Metra Seller's three original garrison legions in Gaul, which is a total of four legions plus the 10th Legion. Even so, Caesar is still not satisfied?

The two then hid in the dark corner of the street, drove away the ** and beggars there, and talked in detail. Through Ebro's detailed explanation, Lepidus understood that Caesar has now begun to arrange the number of the legions during his tenure as governor. Sometimes the number is just a number, but sometimes it can play a subtle role. Caesar's idea was this: he wanted the four regular legions with eagle flags personally awarded by the Senate, three of which were left by Metra Sellers, and one was brought from Lusitania, that is, unified numbers 7, 8, 9, and 10, prefixed with "Gaul", and he was also privately preparing to recruit two irregular auxiliary legions, namely the 11th and 12th, prefixed with "Illyria", the original 13th legion automatically became the "Illyria 11th Legion", and Lepidus's Thyme was upgraded to the "Illyria 12th Legion", these two legions were not on the list of the Senate, and all salaries and supplements were borne by Caesar alone.

"That's right, in the future you will be the commander of the Illyria 12th Legion, plus Caesar's second lieutenant." Ebro said, (To be continued.)
