"You still care about her, don't you?"

Emerging from Octavia's tent, Emma stood in front of Appis. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info her face is so delicate, typical of white European features, high nose bridge, well-proportioned face, fair skin, just in appearance, she even surpasses Octavia's beauty. But Apis felt a little haggard, after all, he was not the kind of playboy, for the women around him, Apis would use snacks, if it weren't for this, Apis might have driven Emma away a long time ago.

It's just that Emma's sudden questioning caught Appis a little off guard.

Emma in front of her is like a wild deer, stubborn, but she stares at herself affectionately and seriously, as if questioning, and as if loving.

"Yes, she used to be my lover."

Appis looked at Emma and replied lightly.

"But it's not anymore, you shouldn't be in and out of her bedroom a lot, do you know what everyone in the barracks is saying about you now?"

Emma asked directly like a fawn. A Germanic woman dared to point her nose and speak to a Roman officer like this, I am afraid that this is also a strange scene in the Roman legion. Appis's pampered tolerance has made Emma what she is today.

"I don't care what they say about me. Kinky * stick? Mistress? Or cheaters? I don't care about that. I gave them money, glory. That's enough. As for what they say of my private life, it doesn't affect my future, and it's all too normal in Rome for someone with an official title to have a few lovers, not in Germania. Emma. ”

Appis was in a somewhat complicated and distressed mood. Even though he knew that Emma was jealous, Apis was still in no mood to ignore her.

"What about me? What am I? Who am I? ”

Emma finally couldn't resist asking directly, she wasn't a man to beat around the bush, and when Apis found her in the ruins, the Germanic girl was even a barbarian. will only blurt out all the words that are in mind at this moment.

There will be no trace of hiding, and it is not easy to learn to this day.

"You're mine...... Friend. ”

Apis wanted to tell Emma that you are my woman, but reality will one day let her know the reality of Rome, and Apis feels that she should no longer deceive Emma, so he directly changes his words.

"Just friends? Apis, I have given you the most precious chastity of a woman, and yet you are now telling me that I am only your friend? Gods above, you are simply the devil! ”

Emma is almost out of control......

"The Romans are different from the Germanic peoples, you value chastity, but the Romans don't value it, and the gods of Rome are different from you, don't judge what you do in Rome by your original ideas and beliefs. You have to accept reality, Emma. It is impossible for us to get married, and the Romans will not accept a legionary captain to marry a Germanic woman. But we can be together. If you want to be my servant all the time. ”

"your Roman law! The Romans are devils, I shouldn't have believed you! ”

Appis's words made Emma weep. In fact, Emma also knew a thing or two about this reality, and this was in Rome, not in Germania, not in her original tribe - Sucumbri. Here, everything is only said by Roman law, and more simply, only by those in power. The Romans were even more proud, and they regarded all the northern foreign tribes as barbarians, as a despicable race. The Romans would only use them to vent their desires, but would not give them respect and freedom. This is Rome. But at the beginning, Emma was desperate, and when she threw herself into the arms of Appis, it was also because she did fall in love with this man. It's just that today, when all the cruel reality comes out of Appis's mouth, it still shatters the only glimmer of hope that Emma still has left.

……

"Your Germanic chick ran away?"

Emma and Appis's argument caught Crane's attention. The rough legionnaff ruffian walked over, glanced at the Germanic girl who was pouting and ran away, and then turned to look at Appis with a gloomy face. Instantly understood something. It's just that Klein still pretended to be cynical and told Appis about it.

"Leave her alone, she needs to calm down for a while. Come on, let's talk about the latest intelligence. ”

Appis looked at Emma as she ran away for the last time. His expression was gloomy, and then he turned to Klein and got down to business. At this time, Crane had been promoted by Apis to the cavalry of the scouting team. It's another form of going through the back door......

"These days, there is a constant influx of refugees from the south. Not only commoners, but also nobles and knights. According to these refugees, Sextus had already begun to slaughter the city's nobles and even the knights, and then use their money to recruit legions. ”

Crane said, unceremoniously picking up the food on the table and swallowing it like a hungry beast. The fat piece of ham was quickly nibbled in half.

"He is indeed mad, this money can't recruit any legions, and even if he does, he is not some soldiers who can fight, and legionary infantry who have not experienced bloody battles are no different from pigs. They will only scatter when their opponents rush at them, like a flock of chickens in a pen. ”

Hearing that Sextus was crazy about accumulating money and then recruiting legions, Appis first laughed at it in his heart, and then couldn't help but sigh bitterly. Because of the former self, wasn't he also so naïve and naïve? Sextus is now just going through what he has been through.

"That's right, Apis. One more thing, it's about Caesar. Caesar was overjoyed to hear of our victory in Spain, and was preparing a lavish banquet for Antony and you, and Caesar intended to appoint you as a magistrate of Rome. Some aristocrats have even begun to prepare extravagant mountain villas for you as a welcome gift when you return to Rome. ”

Appis also had ulterior motives in arranging Klein in the reconnaissance brigade, the intelligence network of a legion is very important, and there is a huge difference between having its own people and not having its own people. Although Appis only arranged Klein as an ordinary scout cavalryman, it was equivalent to arranging his own eyeliner in the legion. Let those who oppose themselves be quiet. And Klein, although he is lustful and a drunkard, also does his job perfectly.

"A gift from the nobility? Haha, my brother, do you believe that it was just a gift from the nobility? ”

Apis asked with a faint smile.

"They have a reason to slap you, my brother."

Klein replied confidently. Appis, however, felt another layer of danger...... (To be continued.) )
