"No matter whether they are on official or private business, their weapons are always in their hands." - Tacitus depicts the Germanic peoples

Then Li Bida whispered a few words quickly to Dillinger, and Dillinger couldn't believe his ears, because the other party spent tens of thousands of drachmas to buy him, which was indeed very simple, which made him vigilant again, because Cato's family motto clearly stated, "Don't believe unrealistic bribes." ”

Of course, Li Bida also saw this person's thoughts, so he smiled kindly, carefully wiped the blood stains on the other party's mouth, and then took out a small Egyptian turquoise chain, and said, "This is a special gift from Pharaoh Ptolemy, you are now a confidant of Pharaoh, listen to me, forget what unfortunate family motto, you see that little Cato himself wore a sleeveless wool robe in the middle of winter, and even his armpit hair was fluttering in the cold wind, and you still expect to make a fortune under his hands?" Then he put the chain around Dillinger's neck and whispered, "And we, too, won't be joking!" Pharaoh thinks very highly of you, and says that you will be the chief of the Egyptian court guard when the deed is done, and now I will give you a noble name, which is Theotusus. ”

Theotusus, what rhythm is this? Seeing that Dillinger was in a confused expression, Li Bida immediately explained: We will never throw the person who does things for us in danger and ignore it, and after you have done this, you don't need to stay by little Cato's side, and come to me with this necklace, whether I am in Egypt, or Rome, or anywhere. You go to see Kaimez. Come and see me directly. Or go to Pharaoh, and then you will be an official, with an annual salary of fifty thousand drachmas. Remember, give yourself the name of Theotusus. ”

After speaking, Li Bida patted the guy on the shoulder and threw down the sentence, "Don't play tricks, otherwise your head will hang on the tower in Subura." I have something to lose, but you don't. And he went out of the dark and filthy alley.

About a daylight tick later. Diringmer stood at the door very attentively, guiding the hired cook to the backyard, and at this time little Cato was facing away from him, so he did not notice the scar on his face, but Sabo noticed it, and smiled lightly, and then little Cato began to make new conditions, "If you want me to move the auction out of the island of Cyprus, it is okay, but I will no longer ask for a budget for your legion, nor will I provide any provisions." ”

That's it. Little Cato was triumphantly immersed in the joy of victory, and his butler's blue nose and swollen face did not pay any attention to it. Sabo was still determined to act to the end, and he and Tagus had a heated discussion, and there seemed to be some dissenting opinions.

It was about late evening that Sabo and Tagus had finished their meal, reached a compromise with Cato, and left the governor's palace in Nicosia, after which Sabo said to Tagus, "According to the arrangement of His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, you should return to the camp first, and arrest the training of the soldiers as soon as possible. ”

Agitated, Tagus struck his fist on the forehead and rode away from the gates.

Saab, who was carrying some luggage, ran to the gorgeous arcade downstairs, and then walked in, where the cloaked Li Pida was waiting for him, "Marco. What about Anthony? ”

Li Bida got up and walked to the end of the corridor with Sabo, and then at the wooden ladder, the drunk Anthony was lying there, snoring like thunder, Li Bida asked Sabo to put everything away, and then asked if everything was ready, Sabo bowed his head.

The water in the jug poured Anthony from head to foot, and the water just fell down the gap between the woods, and Anthony coughed and cursed, and Li Bida shouted, "Marco, the military protector of the Illyrian Thirteenth Legion. Gao Nerlius. Anthony Stand Up! ”

"Yes." Anthony replied in a Latin command, staggering to his feet.

"What is this?" Li Bida picked up a small dark spice box and asked.

"This is an Egyptian potion, burning and smoking can create the illusion of beauty." Anthony replied clearly.

"What is this?" Li Bida asked, holding two egg-like things in his hand.

"This is the best crocodile egg shell in the Nile that allows a woman to successfully avoid conception."

"And what is this?" Li Bida held up an oblong jar again and asked.

Anthony squinted, looked at it with a drunken look, and then replied, "It's some kind of aphrodisiac oil that has been popular in the city of Rome lately, but I never needed it." ”

Li Bida nodded with satisfaction, and then put the things into the luggage box one by one, these three things, the first was given by Cleopatra, the second was given by her personal maid, and the third was bought from Domuwai before, and now they were all held by Sabo, who was already very calm, and he began to issue orders to the drunkard: "Marco. Anthony, I need you to use these things to help me with a mission. ”

"For the glory of the Lion Banner! Belch! Anthony almost vomited the wine and half-digested food in his throat.

"Your Excellency, the one called the brass head is here." Half a day later, Sabo, in the third apartment of the arcade, leaned against the blinds with vines and potted plants, and looked at the wooden ladder.

Li Bida also crouched by the shutter, sure enough, it was the Ascher, her appearance was radiant, Li Bida's vision was very good, at a glance it was clear that she used perfume, and she must have added a hair removal process before coming, not at all like the innocent and desireless appearance seen in Rhodes Island before, more directly, she walked up the wooden ladder in a bright red cloak, which was the standard dress of Roman prostitutes.

"Well, Asher really had been messing around with Claudius and Anthony for a long time before, so Anthony sent out an invitation, and even though she had a psychological struggle, she came immediately." After Li Bida finished speaking, he and Sabo sat on the couch in the apartment, listening carefully to the movement in the next room, because Anthony was there.

After the door slammed, there was a small and intense conversation, and after a while I heard the sound of Suo Suo's clothes, and then he began to moan and scream, and through the thin plank walls, he kept burrowing into the room. Li Bida and Sabo looked at each other with embarrassed faces, one remembered Poti (of course, there were others), and the other remembered Neferdidi, so they both coughed quietly, in order to resolve this atmosphere, Li Bida first asked:

"How did your talk with little Cato go?"

"As you had expected, little Cato, under the inducement of the Joseph Chamber of Commerce, was willing to go to other places to auction off the loot, but he also refused to provide a budget and supplies to my legion."

"Well, this stubborn donkey also has a cunning side." Li Bida said, at this time, Asher was like a female dog, swaying with the ground of the bed, barking wave after wave, while Anthony shouted the password of the legion's drill, which was also more and more energetic. (To be continued......)
