Augustus Road

Princia immediately felt frightened, especially when she saw the black warriors gathered around Lepidus' seat, their antelope-like eyes, thick scarlet lips, curly fine beards, and charcoal-like bodies, she remembered the tragic scene of her being persecuted by Claudius and seeking help from Pompey's slave Demetrius. The beautiful socialite screamed, grabbed her wig, and begged for mercy from Lepidus, saying that she was just a passing role in robbing his patron's inheritance and killing Claudius, and she never really participated in it. She also hoped that the other party would forgive her again because they had fought side by side in the Catiline Rebellion, "I am willing to do anything for you. I can serve you, or your adoptive father, or anyone else in bed, as long as they are not these terrible black people. ”

Before she finished her words, Princia felt a fishy breath on the back of her neck. It was her nightmare. She turned her head and saw Arp looking down at her like a leopard. Then he grabbed her shoulders and tore Princia's blouse apart very savagely. "Please, please, don't do this, don't do this! I am old and can't stand this. I can find ten or even twenty young and slim dancers to replace me. Just give me some time." She was incoherent with her arms and hair being pulled, kicking her feet and struggling in vain.

As a result, Arp just threw her to the floor under the steps and then threw down a hook pen and a writing board.

"Don't be so scared, beautiful lady. I won't ask you to harm my adoptive father again, thinking you are this vicious woman. Your thing is poisonous. But I won't be as despicable as the Jew. Again, Princia, I don't have any irreconcilable hatred with you. With my current strength, Cato the Younger and Domitius died in my hands. There is really no need to deal with you. Let's make a deal that is beneficial to both parties. First, write down all the information you provided to Pompey, and then sign it." Lepidus stood on the steps and ordered.

Princia's sweat dripped down, but she had no choice now. Originally, when Rome was on the verge of falling, she did escape the city and hid in the countryside of Campania, where she still had several properties. Later, before Pompey evacuated the area, he had left secret lines with many local officials and celebrities, including Princia, because Pompey promised to let her nephew Horace become a knight and even a senator in the future. When Lepidus was in charge, Princia was still relatively timid and only dared to collect intelligence remotely in Rome. She did not dare to enter the city lightly. Later, when Antony stayed in the city, he was careless and she became bolder, just like a cave-dwelling animal. When she saw that it was getting late, she came out to actively look for food again, but she did not expect that she would fall into Lepidus' hands in the end. It would be of no benefit to deny it now - because Lepidus was the plenipotentiary representative of Dictator in the capital, and he could execute citizens without public trial as long as he thought that the other party had violated the law. Moreover, she was a woman, and the evidence was in Lepidus' hands.

After writing, Arp sent the tablet to Lepidus for verification, and then threw down another tablet, with a more ruthless request, "Write down the list of all the elders in this city who have connections with Pompey." The espionage activities of this era were still in the primitive stage, and there was no distinction between online and offline. Especially in a place like Rome where there were so many clubs and night parties, it was simply a "big sieve", so the number of people in Princia's hands must be quite large. Now, Princia was scared. She knew what this meant. Once Lepidus cleaned up according to this list, she and her entire family would be finished. At some point, they would definitely be secretly lynched in a gutter to silence them. "Wow!" Princia made up her mind, grabbed the hook pen and stabbed her throat, but she was still timid, the hook pen only pierced her skin, blood was all over the corners of her mouth and chin, and when she raised the hook pen again, Lepidus stepped forward, easily grabbed her wrist and pulled it, and she dropped the hook pen because she couldn't bear the pain.

"This is not what a lady does!" Lepidus said loudly, holding her down, and then threatened, "It takes courage to want to die. You are just a free man who was liberated before. There is no need to die for the struggle of the powerful in the Republic. If you are still stubborn, I will hand you over to Claudia. She and Antony must be particularly interested in how to torture you to death. Maybe I can watch with relish. I repeat, as long as you cooperate, I will not touch your property at all, and I can provide you with shelter."

Princia, whose wig and real hair were mixed together, wiped her soul in despair. With blood all over his body, he had no choice but to continue gasping for breath and carving his name on the tablet. After finishing, Lepidus collected all the evidence with satisfaction, and then changed to a gentle tone and said to Princia: "Isn't that enough, my little squirrel, little goose, no one can hurt you. Also, you can continue to send intelligence to Pompey. I will arrange a speedboat for your "intelligence agent" in Kingulum. Take advantage of the good weather during this period and send it out at the same time as Caesar crosses the sea." "What, but you!" Princia couldn't believe it. She seemed to understand a little bit that Lepidus wanted to use false intelligence to confuse Pompey.

But then the man said very clearly, "To show my sincerity, I will tell you the number and deployment. I will take the 16th Legion to Ravenna today. There is a fleet there. I plan to cross the ocean with the 6th and 15th Legions to the Salona area to form a pincer attack with Caesar - the 13th Legion will serve as a dummy in Rome to confuse Pompey."

"What good will this do for you!"

"The benefit is that Pompey will continue to accept your intelligence and disrupt the opponent's entire layout in the north and south of Greece. In addition, I have a little secret, that is, in such clear intelligence, there is some untrue information mixed in, that is, the fleet of Ravenna can actually only transport less than 2,000 people across the sea at a time." Li Bi Da sneered and said.

Seeing the other party was puzzled, Libido patiently explained, "But according to your intelligence, I brought three legions, so I can easily make the colonial city on the other side of the river afraid to surrender to me. In this way, only a small number of troops can create a loud momentum, create conditions for safely establishing a foothold and defense circle, and further confuse Gabinus and Byblos and disrupt their judgment!"
