Then, Lepidus added, "Because I have the largest number of legions and the greatest administrative power in the alliance, the young Pompey brothers in Spain are entrusted to me to conquer. The enemies there are very strong and they are 'familiar' with me." , they now quickly raised five legions, as well as several barbarian auxiliary legions, for Pompey's power on the other side was entangled ♦,"

"What about Anthony, my father?" Caesar asked this question cautiously.

"Anthony continues to sit in Shannan Gaul, cooperate with Pansa who remains in the city, supervise the entire Italy, and choose the opportunity to draw his own troops to support you and me on the battlefield."

"But will Anthony be satisfied with this?" Caesar deliberately asked.

At this time, Lepidus smiled, pointed to the horse tied to the outer gatepost of the arena and said, "What would you do to a mount?"

"I will feed it fodder on time, exercise it and train it every day, and then I will use a riding crop to teach it obedience. No matter how fierce it is, I will make it very well-behaved."

After hearing Young Caesar's answer, Lepidus lowered his voice and said, "That's right - in my eyes, Anthony is just such a foal. On the one hand, I give him sweetness, and on the other hand, I have to give him a bit and a bridle. Let him stand up, because judging from the previous situation, Marco Antony is not a trustworthy person. He also showed me your hand letter and slandered you for wanting to join forces with him. "

As soon as this black history is revealed. Young Caesar's expression immediately changed. But in a flash, he covered his chest with a particularly calm anger and said to his guardian, "This was a boring trick he used to sow discord between you and me at the last moment. Please believe me, that souvenir will definitely It’s a forgery. My father-in-law, thanks to your magnanimity as the guardian, you forgave him.”

As for Li Bida, he didn't mean to go into details. He gently peeled off this layer and said, "That's good. This is how subordinates are. What is the biggest problem before us now?"

"It is the issue of raising military resources and dealing with the murderer group after we each went out to the expedition and rushed to the province. We cannot take the risk of fire in the backyard. We go to the front line to command the war." Young Caesar answered without ambiguity.

"And what about my daughter Corinna's marriage?" Lebida asked.

At this time, Young Caesar immediately expressed his opinion. How eagerly does he want to marry Corinna, but now he is weak in terms of honor. He hopes to increase his popularity in this area by annihilating the murderer in the East, so that he will feel that marrying Corinna will be more important. Having confidence, he firmly believed that this was a gratifying thing for the beautiful and virtuous Corinna.

"What if I increase the dowry to five hundred talents?" Lepida asked with a slightly joking tone.

"Dear Guardian, I think that if the war in the east can be successful, what I will achieve, or the happiness I can bring to Corinna, will be far more than five hundred talents."

Young Caesar's very ambitious and neither humble nor arrogant answer made Lepidus happily agree, "Then I can ask Corinna to wait for you for three years. This will be better for her. She is still too young. It is not wrong to have children too early." A very good thing.”

At this moment, the two of them had walked along the aisle and walked under the awning outside the arena. This was a very high place, and they could have a bird's-eye view of the entire Kunta Plain and swamp. It seemed that the wind had risen, and the colors of the clouds and grass gradually changed. Influenced by the manic and changing weather, it was bright for a while and as black for a while. Soon the two of them raised their heads, because they heard the sound like beans falling into a can from the leather awning—— "Hail actually fell throughout the weather, which is really rare."

Then, it became clear that the weather was not just content with hail. A streak of ocher-red lightning snaked down and landed on the Holy Capitol Mountain in the distance. Soon, the sky was covered with thunder, as if it was under people's feet. Like exploding.

"It seems that the Temple of Jupiter was struck by lightning and burst into flames." Young Caesar said quietly.

The air in the city of Rome seemed to be burning along with this natural omen. Half a market day later, a group of peasant women on the Quinta Plain broke out into a fierce quarrel at the well because of the order of priority. "The public enemy declaration will be issued soon. I hope your whole family will be there and die miserably!" One of the peasant women held on to the windlass and uttered such heart-rending curses.

But her opponent looked at her with an expression of stunned horror, as if completely frightened by her words, so the peasant woman smiled proudly, as if using the term "public enemy declaration" was very effective and fashionable Something like that. But she instinctively felt a deep chill behind her back - looking back, she saw several strong men wearing slave-liberating hats, holding paper rolls and sharp knives in their hands, walking over from the plowing field over there at some unknown time. Silently looking at the peasant woman who had just performed to her heart's content.

The stupid woman screamed in fright, took two steps back, and almost fell into the well. Fortunately, she tried her best to hold on to the windlass and was able to avoid this. The other men and women on the farm were already so frightened that they didn't know where to hide.

As a result, the strong man who took the lead made a gesture to the peasant woman.

The peasant woman stretched her neck with a frightened expression, as if to find out what this gesture meant.

"Get lost." The strong man explained swiftly.

The peasant woman was as if she had been pardoned. She hurriedly rolled and crawled to the door of the hut next to her and curled up. As a result, several freed slaves nodded to each other and wound the rope on the wheel. After a while, a wet living person was pulled out of the well. The man's face was pale and he held the rope tightly, but he could not run away anyway.

"Former tribune and current law officer Terpenyutas, we have found you. Now it's time to pay back." After the strong men finished speaking, they strangled Terpenyutas' neck with the well rope and forced him to kneel down in the wailing of Terpenyutas. Then one of them pulled out a curved Spanish sword and cut Terpenyutas' back neck. Blood flew everywhere, but he failed to cut off his head. So the murderer went around to the front and cut again. Only a layer of skin was left on Terpenyutas' head connected to his neck, hanging upside down on his chest. He was already dead.

The man then used the blade in his hand to cut back and forth twice, then held Terpenyutas' head in his hand and weighed it. The others were also very happy, "This head is worth 25,000 dinars, go to the square to claim the reward."

At this moment, the one who had been standing next to them, dressed as a slave who led the way, stood in front of these people and rubbed his hands, saying, "I provided the master with clues, so you can find it. Now should you pay me part of the reward?" (A good event that falls from the sky, a cool mobile phone is waiting for you!
