"Cleopatra, Queen'......"

When he first saw the legendary Cleopatra, Apis couldn't look directly at her beauty, and even in the absence of sufficient light, the queen's figure and face were still perfectly displayed. Her enchanting figure www.biquge.info like a water snake in the Red Sea, convex and concave, the towering twin peaks are half covered and half hidden, and the soft waist does not seem to have a trace of fat, even under the cover of gorgeous clothes, Appis can still see her graceful figure, delicate skin is a light wheat color, sexy and peugeot face, yes, not so colorful, but it is enough to make people unforgettable.

For a while, Apis froze in place like a statue, and it is certain that if there was no one around, Apis's instinctive physiological reaction would definitely make him **congested, and then pounce on this sexy* woman like a beast. But at the moment, he was surrounded by Roman soldiers, as well as the personal guards who had just gone through a bloody battle around the queen. They saw Appis staring at his queen's eyes, and they tightened their weapons in alarm, even after the battle was over.

"Thank you, centurion, for saving me, and for these faithful servants of mine. Yes, I am Cleopatra, Ptolemy is my brother, and I, this time to Alexandria, have come to meet Caesar. ”

When Cleopatra saw Apis, she just smiled and walked up to Apis, and spoke slowly in fluent Latin. There are some political topics that the queen is inconvenient to state with the low-ranking centurion, and Apis is very clear about this, so he did not ask questions, besides, in this era, many things, it is better to not know than to know.

It was a long time before Cleopatra was embarrassed before Apis came to his senses of all the evil thoughts, and replied in the same ceremonial way—

"Dear Queen Cleopatra, it is an honor to meet you here, and I am even more glad that my soldiers and I inadvertently patrolled and rescued Her Honorable Queen. Can you tell me who did these desert cavalry who just hunted you down? Dare to persecute Her Excellency the Queen. ”

Apis stood in front of Cleopatra and began to talk pretending to be ignorant, and having time alone with the famous Cleopatra in history was not an experience and treatment that ordinary people could have.

"A mob, a bunch of robbers, I don't know who sent them, maybe my convoy was too flashy to get the attention of the hungry bandits. But anyway, luckily, you helped me, and now, how can I thank you? Gold? Girl? Or anything else you want? I need you to escort me to the city, and I need to go into the city to meet Caesar, your commander. ”

Cleopatra and Apis looked at each other and spoke, her demeanor was extremely graceful and scheming, and Apis felt that the famous Cleopatra in history had not only conquered Caesar and Antony with her beauty, but also that her wisdom and city were beyond the reach of ordinary people. It is true that ordinary low-ranking legionary infantry did not know the internal affairs of Egypt at this time, but Apis was different, Cleopatra's lines might be able to deceive rude legion veterans such as Klein and Sekras, but not Apys. In such a complex and strange environment when Caesar had just landed in Alexandria, Pompey was killed, Ptolemy was in control of Egypt and negotiated with Caesar, and Queen Cleopatra suddenly visited, and was attacked by the Assassins on the way. Before Caesar signed a "diplomatic" agreement with Ptolemy, he secretly rushed to Caesar's bedchamber and used his wisdom and beauty to persuade Caesar to rule Egypt instead of her incompetent brother.

"Meet Caesar? Yes, I must escort you into the city, it is one of my duties, as for wealth and girls, the queen does not have to bother much, if this matter is successfully completed, Caesar will naturally reward me and my soldiers, the legion has military regulations, we cannot accept foreign bounties at will, otherwise it will be regarded as accepting bribes, you know, Caesar hates his own soldiers for accepting bribes the most, which will subject us to the most severe military punishment. ”

Faced with the queen's insincerity, Apis replied with a smile. Pretending to be very conscientious, and at the same time, it seems that he absolutely believes the queen's words. At this time, Eric, who was behind the queen, relaxed a little and put away the blood-stained sword in his hand.

……

"Ptolemy, we have reached an agreement that you will fulfill your obligations, and I will not interfere in the internal affairs of your country on this basis, but now, the food, gold and silver you promised have not been delivered, and I have heard my soldiers speak of a bloody battle that took place outside the city a few days ago, and you sent assassins to assassinate Cleopatra? Your sister? Nominally, you and Cleopatra both have dominion over Egypt, and now you are doing such a despicable thing, and the Romans like to put things on the table above board, rather than such clumsy, despicable means. If you are still unable to fulfill our cooperation treaty within a week, then I will find Cleopatra, and I have a lot of things to discuss with her. ”

Two days later, Caesar rebuked the young King Ptolemy at Ptolemy's lavish party in Alexandria. This direct and sudden accountability caused the young Ptolemaic king to panic and not know how to answer Caesar's question. The assassination of Cleopatra was originally a secret plan, and the assassins also chose to attack in the most obscure location, and the queen did not have many guards around at all. What they didn't know was that two days earlier, Apis had quietly escorted the beautiful Cleopatra Cleopatra back to Alexandria and sent her to Caesar's bedchamber.

"No, we didn't send someone to murder her, haven't she been in Syria all along? How did you suddenly return to Alexandria? I don't know anything about this, and I can't have sent an assassin to assassinate her, but she's my sister, and no matter how much conflict and strife there is, I will definitely not send someone to take her life, it would be against the principles of the gods. ”

Ptolemy, who was questioned, was horrified to find a worded explanation, but his explanation was so shallow that even the others present, who did not know the ins and outs of the matter, knew that the young and ignorant king was lying. Although he sat on the throne of a king, he did not have the ability to truly rule a kingdom. Yes, everyone could see it, and the so-called loyal ministers behind him may be the ones who actually instructed the Assassins to assassinate Cleopatra. (To be continued.) )
