The housekeeper shook his head, stored the land deeds, and walked out. Only Anthony was left sitting comfortably in the distance, raising his head and thinking about something.

At the same time, in Prema's villa, Lepidus was having a heated discussion with all his cronies, "Anthony is definitely going to play tricks on the land title of the inheritance." This was Lepidus's very certain judgment, and then he slowly went back and forth. After pacing for a while, he said, "Besides, the Fifth Army will be coming soon. As long as he has the backing of force, Anthony can threaten the Senate and continue to squeeze me out with all his strength."

"To what extent will this exclusion go?" Szabo asked.

Lepidus smiled and gave an astonishing answer, "Perhaps I will only be sent to serve as the governor of a second-class province - no, maybe it is something special. The Senate will give me a legion as a full-ranking legal officer and assign it to me. I went to conquer the rebellion of Illyria or the Germanic barbarians, and then used this year to turn the situation into their world. Then I decided Caesar's case in the middle and issued an ultimatum to me. I will fail miserably like Julia's grandfather. , the power has been wiped out, it will be good to be able to return to Sardinia to retire. "

After saying that, Lepidus asked, who wants to go back to the manor in Sardinia with me to retire? Everyone was silent for a moment, except Sabo who raised his hand as if in objection, and then put it down.

Then, Lepidus turned back excitedly and said to everyone, "Retirement? Why provide for old age! You know, we are the biggest contributors to Caesar's subordinates. We expedition to half the ocean and land to raise soldiers, money and Liang Mo, when he was at odds with Pompey, he was our mainstay and fought with him until Pompey was sent to the bottom of Lake Mykonin - Julius was also the one who trusted us the most. This foreigner promoted me to the rank of cavalry commander and asked me to serve as Octavian's guardian. With this trust alone, I have to put Caesar's cause to a successful end. Now Antony has betrayed him and actually begged for mercy from the Senate. Poor him. We cannot see through the current situation and are completely blinded by interests and short-sightedness. Therefore, there is no need for the priests of the gods or any illusions about anyone. We have to rely on ourselves! The children of Sardinia, my colleagues from all over the world, and my staff, relatives and friends will absolutely support me. It is appropriate to go to Sardinia for retirement, but it has never reached that point. We must first Arrange for some people to be taken care of in old age, and then you can consider yourself, because Lepidus has always been a public person, right?" He finally said with a mocking tone, "Now we must strengthen the monitoring and response to Anthony's actions. , In addition - we must retreat to advance, and let these two Machiavellian idiots, Antony and Brutus, make a fool of themselves, and then we will launch a full counterattack!"

"Are you saying that the Sixth Army is going to withdraw from the city of Rome?" Pethenius and Angandinus asked.

"Of course, why not, I will accept all the conditions of the Senate immediately, withdraw the Sixth Army to Arimilon to rest and recuperate, and let Antony and the city do whatever they want, just like he did with the veterans of the mutiny. Now as long as the House of Lords The return of Wei, Leo, Agrippa and Maecenas, respectively the tribunes and military tribunes at that time, will be able to completely contain them. By the way - I still have a chess piece that I don't need to move. Here!" Li Bida seemed to have remembered something at last and said leisurely.

In front of the altar in the main square, Amatius looked at the envoys sent by Lepidus, Arp and Kelly, with some surprise, followed by many slaves carrying boxes and pottery urns, "This is the activity money given to you by the cavalry commander. , fifty talents, and your separate gifts, two apartment buildings and ten talents, will be delivered to your mansion after nightfall." Now gather at the "Julius Cremation Altar. "The number of angry people in front of them is increasing, reaching 50,000. Many veterans even quietly sent various weapons, such as daggers, hunting spears and small shields, to arm these people. Amatius Sure enough, he is worthy of being the heir to Claudius's mantle. No, he was from a humble background. Compared with Claudius, he is superior in simplicity and acting. Everyone believes that he is the grandson of Marius and a relative of Caesar. Even he Now you can go to Corpunya's mansion and greet the poor widow. "We are just waiting for the two cavalry commanders to give the order to make our group of people an eternal terror to Caesar's murderer." This. is his consistent slogan.

Now seeing Lepidus sending money again, Amatius was naturally grateful, but Kelly then sighed and said, "But the cavalry commander can no longer continue to support you publicly. He hopes that you will immediately give away the people in front of the altar." Evacuate.”

"Why?" Amatius was surprised now.

"He asked me to tell you that because Caesar's murderers have been able to counterattack, he himself will soon be stripped of his title as cavalry commander and excluded from the city of Rome. So as the heir to Julius' cause, even though you have received such support from the people We have great support, but it is better to keep a low profile, because the fifth legion of another cavalry commander, Anthony, will be stationed soon, and military pressure may be used to deal with you. "

"Please tell General Lepidus that Amadeus will not give up halfway, because I am the grandson of Marius. This identity is not obtained by bragging everywhere in my first half of my life, but General Lepidus gave me this opportunity, so that I was recognized by everyone in this short period of time - please rest assured, cavalry commander, since I, Amadeus, have this identity, I will never be a speculator. I want to avenge Caesar, so I must stick to it. I will accept the money and gifts with honor, so please look forward to my performance, cavalry commander!" Amadeus said generously, "I will distribute the money to all the people, but it will be used as fighting expenses, not severance expenses."

After saying that, he jumped onto the altar, first crying on his face, and then said to all the people, "I will die soon."

As soon as this was said, tens of thousands of people present exclaimed and expressed disbelief.

"Yes, my dear friend has just advised me, because with the connivance of the Senate, the murderers and traitors will soon join hands, not only will they suppress us bloodily, but they will also completely suppress our needs. Your Excellency Caesar will forever be buried in the abyss, just like they treated the Gracchi brothers." Amadeus raised his arms and said.

Everyone raised their hands, waving various weapons, angrily denouncing who would do such a despicable and despicable act, and actually forgot Caesar's grace and conspired with the murderer. "Don't let me know who he is, otherwise he will suffer the same fate as Luca!" A hunchbacked and irritable old fishmonger shouted at the noisy crowd around him while holding an iron hook.
