Li Xiang nodded.

"Fortunately, you reminded me in time, otherwise I would have almost made a big mistake."

"Do you still remember that in order to count the population of the whole country, you asked the people of the whole country to return to their ancestral hometowns to register their household registration?"

Octavian remembered for a moment, and then said, "Come to remember, it was all years ago, what's wrong?" ”

"I guess you don't even know that this incident actually fulfilled part of God's plan."

Octavian was pleasantly surprised: "Yes! I really didn't expect that! ”

"Otherwise, Jesus would not have been born in Bethlehem, and he would not have been able to fulfill God's promises, and he would not have been able to become the future Savior."

Of course, the Romans at this time had no idea of the term savior.

"'Jesus'? Huh? Are the Jesus you are talking about, born in Bethlehem, the same person you said was the Jesus who was going to be crucified? Julia asked.

Li Xiang nodded.

"I think God should have hated the man who called Jesus so much, or he would have been born in a ghost place like Judea, and he would have died on the cross." Julia said.

"Huh! The will of God is unpredictable, you and I are just mortals, of course, it is impossible to fully understand. Octavian said.

Li Xiang heard this sentence and thought: I was betrayed by my girlfriend, I lost all my wealth in a blink of an eye, and I wanted to jump off the building, is it also "divine will"?

Octavian patted Li Xiang on the shoulder and said, "Divine envoy, thank you very much for revealing God's plan to us. ”

Li Xiang was stunned and said, "'Divine Messenger'? Then he looked left and right, and he was left in the room except Octavian and Julia, and then pointed his finger at himself, and said, "What do you say about me?" ”

Julia smiled and said, "It's not you, it's me!" You don't have to hide it anymore, now the whole city knows that the angel from heaven has saved Augustus, and the messenger sent by God is you. ”

Li Xiang thought to himself: Good dragon drip, why did he suddenly become a "divine messenger"! This is troublesome, if you admit that you are the so-called "divine messenger", then you really don't have any "divine power", and you know very little about Greek mythology, Roman mythology and the like, even the introduction of the gods in the religious chapter of the mobile version of the "Encyclopedia" should be very general, if you are asked a few words casually by the Romans, you will definitely be in trouble, but if you say that you are from China two thousand years later through time and space, eighty percent will be regarded as a neuropathy.

Li Xiang pondered for a long time, and suddenly had an idea, and said: "Yes, I am indeed a messenger of God, but I am not the kind you look like, anyway, there is no way to explain it very clearly and clearly for a while, in a word, 'God's will is unpredictable'!" Looking at the expressions of Octavian's father and daughter, he felt a little dazed, and said, "Understood, right?" ”

Octavian's father and daughter looked at each other and said in unison: "'God's will is unpredictable'!" Got it! Got it! "Actually, I didn't understand anything.

Li Xiang smiled secretly.

Two pairs of men and horses were ordered by Augustus to arrest the suspected tailor and blacksmith.

Cuman's twin brother, Otman, the deputy commander of the guard, led a small group of guards to the tailor's quarters.

The walls of the stone house were covered with vines, and the purple doors were hidden.

Orman pushed the door open, and a black cat pierced out.

The room was unusually dim because the windows were closed and the curtains were drawn.

Two guards went in and opened the curtains.

The sight in front of them surprised Auman and the others.

The tailor hung naked from a hook on the wall, his tongue dragged out for a long time, and he was dripping from time to time.

At this point, the piles of cloth collapsed with a bang.

A masked man in black appeared in front of everyone.

I saw the man in black throw his right hand, and three darts flew at lightning speed.

"Ahh "Ahh With two screams, the two guards were shot in the head by a dart and fell to their deaths.

Orman was a master, quick to react, dodged in time, and the dart passed by him, which in turn broke the dead tailor's hanging rope, and the tailor's body fell to the ground.

The man in black was as light as a swallow, and he did it lightly, and in the blink of an eye, he broke out of the window and disappeared without a trace.

The other two guards tried to chase after them, but Orman motioned for the guards not to chase anymore.

Orman looked at the three corpses on the ground, and recalled the thrilling scene just now, he almost became the fourth, so he took a deep breath.

Orman walked to the wall and reached out to get the dart that had been shot deep into the wall, but he couldn't take it out, so he used the strength of both hands to pull out the dart, only to see that the stones on the wall were cracked by the dart, which showed that the man in black had extraordinary internal strength.

Auman took a closer look at the dart that almost killed him, it turned out to be a rare six-pointed star, and in the middle was a symmetrical scorpion pattern, although the dart shot into the hard wall, but this dart was not deformed at all, and then took a closer look at the dart, and found that the material of this dart was not gold, silver, copper, or iron, which had to make Auman feel very confused.

***

At this time, Cuman was leading another group of men to the outskirts of the city to "invite" blacksmith Hitler.

When Cuman and the others left the northeast city gate, they saw a large group of people gathered under the city wall, looking up and discussing.

Cuman also followed everyone's gaze and saw a bloody human head hanging high above the city wall.

When Cuman looked closely, the head was that of blacksmith Hitler.

Octavian held a grand feast in the banquet hall of the mansion and entertained the "divine guest" Li Xiang.

Also present at the banquet were Octavian's wife "Empress" Livia, "Princess" Julia, Tiberius, General Max, and Pilate.

Fortunately, Li Xiang is a successful businessman who is good at socializing, and all kinds of social gatherings have become commonplace, and he asked Julia about the etiquette of ancient Rome before, so his performance at the table is quite good, of course, from time to time he will toast to the guests sitting in a Chinese-style way.

Everyone talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

At this point, Grupa the butler walked up to Octavian and whispered something very quietly.

Seeing that Octavian's face, which was already a little red from drunkenness, turned colored, and everyone's observation was not bad, the original joyful atmosphere was gone.

Octavian motioned for the butler to step down, forced a smile, and smiled at the crowd: "Enjoy the food, everyone, don't waste my good intentions!" ”

"Yes! Let's continue to eat! Livia chimed in.

Since Octavian and Livia both said so, and everyone didn't know what the news had just come from the housekeeper, it was not easy to ask anything.

Octavian said to Li Xiang: "Li Xiang, you come with me." ”

"Oh!" Li Xiang replied.

The two left the banquet hall.

Everyone sitting there has lost their good mood and appetite and continues to enjoy the food.
