"Three hundred thousand Sesters? Oh, are you a beggar for me to be sent away? Go back and tell your master that if you want to redeem Abyss, bring a million Sesters first. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

In the tent of the barracks, Innus sat proudly on the circle chair and coldly rejected the request of Octavian's envoy. Even if 300,000 Sesters is a relief for Wintus and Brutus at this time, their expenses are far from being balanced, and 300,000 Sesteres can at least allow their legion to last for another two months. And even so, Wintus coldly rejected this rich property, because in his heart, Wintus knew the value of Abyss to Antony and Octavian. This new Roman aristocrat not only has a prominent position and wealth, but he is also the only informant who is contaminated on both sides, in other words, Abyss not only has information about Antony, but also has information about Octavian, and Abys's connections and abilities are of great value in themselves. Having Abbis in his hands was tantamount to grasping Octavian and Antony's most sensitive nerves. According to Wintus's plan, Octavian and Antony would definitely raise the price of Abys, and when the time comes, he will only have to sit here and wait for who will pay the highest price to redeem this Roman upstart.

However, things don't seem to be exactly going according to Wintus' plan.

"Aren't you going to let go of 300,000 Sester?"

Octavian asked calmly.

"Yes, the appetite of Wintus is a million ......"

"Is he crazy about money? Isn't he worried that my legion will surround him again and drag him out of that dirty, dilapidated camp and kill him? ”

Faced with the absurd demands of Wintus, Anthony angrily accused. Wintus planned that Antony and Octavian would operate secretly in dealing with this matter, but the reality was that Octavian and Antony were still sitting together on this matter......

"He said that if we attack his camp, he will kill Abys......"

The messenger replied tremblingly under the wrath of the two leaders. Octavian quickly regained his composure, and motioned for his messenger to go down first, and then, walking up to Antony, said calmly—

"Perhaps the intention of the two of us to secretly raise the price of each other, because he knows that Abyss is important to us, so he wants to wait for us to pay the highest price."

"So what do you think? Octavian? ”

Antony was surprised that Octavian would be honest and express his selfishness this time.

"We don't have to raise each other's prices anymore, Anthony. Tell him that for 300,000 Sestles, if he is willing to accept this price, the deal will be closed. If they don't want to, our legions will build a siege network at dawn. He won't really kill Abys, because if he kills Abys, he won't get a penny, and if he lets Abys, he can at least get the money. ”

Octavian said coldly. Anthony felt that the person standing in front of him was no longer a normal person, but a statue like ice. Abyss and Octavian were once like brothers and sisters, but in such a crisis situation, Octavian was able to handle things so calmly. Even Antony couldn't stand such a scene, but for now it has to be said that Octavian guessed the psychology of Wintus. With a gap of 700,000 assets, you can support an entire army for a whole year. It's not a small amount.

……

"Ah, Abyss, dear Abyss, behold, this is a letter from Octavian and Antony, and their tone and attitude are exactly the same, a maximum of three hundred thousand Sesters, and behold, Abys, you are worth these three hundred thousand Sesters in their minds. How shall I laugh at your foolishness and ignorance? There's no hope for you, Abyss. Oh no, there is still a glimmer of hope, you can write to Cicero and have that faithful old man of the Roman Senate come and bring the money to save you. He's your best friend. ”

A few days later, with Octavian and Antony's reply, he sat down in front of Abys, and taunted Abysse, which made him feel very satisfied and happy, but what he said made Abus feel uneasy. Cicero, how did Wintus know that he had a secret meeting with Cicero? It stands to reason that only Seville and Tertilla knew about this, could it be that Seville told Brutus, and then Brutus told Wintus? It's not impossible. However, what happened next surprised Abys.

"You need not doubt, Abyss, you must be wondering now, how did I know that you had dealings with Cicero? So, I'll tell you now, half a year ago, Cicero wrote to Brutus, telling him that Rome was now ruled only by Octavian, and that he had only two legions, and Cicero asked Brutus to attack Octavian and eliminate the dictator. I thought that Cicero was Octavian's man, but it turned out that my conjecture was not correct, Octavian did have only two legions at the time, which means that Cicero did not deceive Brutus. So if Cicero wasn't Octavian's man, whose man would he be? Anthony? No, I remember the first time Octavian attacked Antony, Cicero publicly impeached Antony in the Senate. There are all kinds of indications that the old Cicero does not belong to either of these two factions, but in such a dangerous political situation, it is impossible for an unarmed politician to really clean himself, and there must be the support of one force behind him, so that he does not help the two factions, and he can easily maneuver between the two factions, then, the force behind it, only you, Abys. In fact, not only Antony, Octavian, but you, also wanted to rule Rome, but when Caesar was assassinated, you were too weak to win your own independent power, so you encouraged Cicero to join your side, and you joined forces between Antony and Octavian in order to fight each other, while you and Lepida took the opportunity to grow secretly. I guessed it all, but it was too late, and Brutus had already stepped into your trap. But now, I've got you in my hands again. ”

Sitting in front of Abys, he said happily, he liked to see Abys's frightened appearance, and Abyss was obviously starting to get uneasy. His plan did not show flaws in front of Octavian and Antony, but it made an outsider see it clearly.
