"Master, Appis has arrived in Rome and, in the city, has rented an apartment. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Ever since he last met Apis at Dachius' house, the great nobleman Appius had been worried that he had known that he had sent someone to assassinate him, and that if he wanted to come back to seek revenge on him. Now it is not impossible, because the young boy has grown into the elite of the legion, with the weight and support of Caesar, and it is not very difficult to come back for revenge.

The man who had been sent to spy on Appis had returned to report the situation, and now it was time to strike. Apis must be eliminated before he runs for tribune. Old Appius thought.

"Let your people, within three days, get rid of him. This time, we can't miss again! Send Dickles, I trust him. ”

Inside the gloomy mansion, Appius sat on his chaise longue and spoke grimly.

……

"Appis, there's a question I've always wanted to ask you. That day, those three nobles came to you, what did they tell you? I'm curious, the people from the Senate came so soon? ”

In the quiet apartment of Thebes in Rome, the dusk market had faded away from the hustle and bustle of the day, Seklas dragged his cane to Appis's room, and asked casually.

"They want to take root with Caesar."

Appis replied lightly.

"Take Root with Caesar?!"

"Yes, these people are people who can't climb to the pinnacle of power in Rome, and there are disputes within the Senate, so they want to borrow Caesar's hand to help them get to those positions. They wanted to make a deal with Caesar, they supported Caesar as consul for the coming year, and Caesar, after gaining military power and consulship, had to let them hold important positions in Rome, such as law and treasurer. ”

Appis sat down in his chair and said calmly.

"It seems that those elders are just robbers in the cloak of holiness."

Sekras sneered back.

"Yes, but their current support may be really useful to Caesar. I've had this information relayed to Caesar. I think by this time the messenger must have arrived in Gaul. ”

Appis turned around and looked out the window, as the hustle and bustle of the city gradually subsided, and wisps of cooking smoke rose from the dense apartments and attics of the city of Rome. A small number of aristocratic villas were buried in the large number of high-rise houses.

……

"Appis, your combat power is really getting more and more powerful."

After Sekras left, the room was once again left with Appis and Emma in the night. In the days of Octavia's departure, the Germanic girl became a spiritual solut for Apis, and the passionate battle with Emma every night allowed Apis to temporarily forget the pain Octavia had inflicted on him.

"Hmmm......"

Emma's "boasting" did not stop Appis, but attacked more violently. Until the bed board creaked again because it couldn't bear the weight of two people.

The moonlight spilled into the room, and once again gently reflected the figures of the two people.

"Appis, get out of the way!"

In the darkness of the night, just as Appis and Emma were fighting, a tall man in black jumped out of the window. Emma was pressed underneath her, and the first thing she saw was movement in the window, the light emitted by the moonlight cast into the eyes of the Germanic girl, and Emma knew that this person was definitely not as simple as a thief.

Without the slightest hesitation, Emma kicked Appis away, and the dagger in the assassin's hand stabbed down quickly, and then, the sharp blade sank into the entire bed, leaving only the hilt still trembling slightly.

The first blow missed, and the man in black quickly pulled out the second dagger he was carrying at his waist and stabbed at the naked Appis. This was the purpose of his visit, not the Germanic woman, but the good-looking Roman officer. He had to stab Appis to death before dawn, and then deal with the scene, pretending to be suicidal. I thought it would be easier to start while Apis and the Germanic slaves were "fighting". And now, this Germanic woman has become the most critical person to save Appis.

Without a word of nonsense, the Assassin drew his dagger and stabbed Apis again.

The space in the apartment was small, and Apis didn't have much room to dodge, so he could only lunge in the direction that the Assassin was coming from.

"Poof"

The two of them scuffled together, and Appis only felt that this was the most embarrassing fight since he crossed over. At this moment, he was not wearing a single piece of clothing, but the other party was tightly covered.

However, at this point, life and death were not so much at stake, and Appis struggled to grab the Assassin's hand so that the sharp dagger would not slash into his vital parts and cause fatal wounds. And Emma, too, kicked the assassin in the vital part at this time......

The pathetic black-clad assassin may have thought before the assassination that the man he was going to assassinate was a fighter with extraordinary skills and difficult to deal with, but he definitely did not expect that the woman under this man would be so brave. Her figure looks so delicate, but when she fights, she is so fierce...... And all this, only Apis knows, Emma was once in the military camp, subjected to his own cruel training. In order for her to protect herself on the battlefield, Apis even had Emma fight the legionnaires in the barracks. Until you defeat a legion veteran on your own......

The Assassin sent by Appius naturally didn't know all this, he only knew that Apis was an honorary centurion in the legion, but he didn't expect the Germanic slave girls around him to be so fierce. After a few rounds, he was beaten and couldn't parry, and then he thought of running away. However, it was already too late.

The Assassin turned over and tried to climb through the window, but Emma pulled out the dagger from the bed and threw it wildly, the dagger flashed like a cold light and stabbed the black-clad Assassin in the shin.

Suddenly, blood splattered out, staining the straw sandals under the feet of the man in black red.

The stabbed Assassin clutched his calf in pain, blood pouring out of the dagger's stabbing place. Appis grabbed the cloak from his chair and walked over and kicked the Assassin in the head, knocking him to the ground......

"Who sent you?"

Appis asked aloud. Emma also took advantage of this time to get dressed and walked over, and at the same time pulled out the Legion dagger that Appis had placed under the pillow, and hung the sharp Roman dagger around the neck of the black-clad assassin.

"A man who wants to take your life."

Despite being stabbed in the calf, the man in black endured the pain and returned loudly and unyieldingly.

"Speak quickly!"

Soon, however, Emma took her rough side, grabbing the assassin by the hair and holding the dagger to his throat. The skin around the neck had even been cut slightly, and there, a faint red oozed out.

"It's Marcus, the Senate sent me."

"Cut off his ears."

After the Assassin's reply, Apis ignored him and instead had Emma grab him by the hair and cut off the stupid thief's ear with the dagger.

"Wait! Wait a minute. ”

The man in black shouted, and at the same time, only now, he understood that the man that Appius wanted to assassinate was such a cruel, such a clever man...... (To be continued.) )
