Dark and miserable days were about to come again, and after three years of comfortable living in Rome, all uneasiness spread in the city again. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Apis found Caesar again and persuaded the great Roman hero to add guards, but Caesar once again thought that tyrants needed guards, and I was not a tyrant's reason, so I rejected Appis's request.

In desperation, Appis came to Lukris Mansion and found the Queen of Egypt, Cleopatra.

"You're trying to persuade me to leave Rome, aren't you?"

Apis didn't expect Cleopatra to have such a superb IQ, and she even guessed the purpose of her coming here. However, even so, Appis had to finish his words, at least, to make his last efforts to stop the unrest.

"Yes, you guessed the purpose of my visit."

Facing Cleopatra, who is still young and beautiful, graceful and graceful, Appis is full of contradictions. Although Cleopatra was still polite to her savior, Apis knew that if the queen of Egypt had come to her for the purpose of not leaving, it would prove that she had already planned for the loss of this matter.

"Yes, Apis. I have guessed that you have smelled the restlessness of the city of Rome, for my presence has disturbed the already calm waters of the city. You must think that it took Caesar three years to reform Rome to the point it is today, and now everything is disturbed again because of me. ”

Cleopatra's straightforward conversation surprised Appis again and again. Appis gradually felt that he had come here today, and he was afraid that there was no more valuable negotiation to speak of than to reminisce about the past.

"Well, why do you want to stay here when you know everything? Caesar is going to be in danger, and it's all because of you. ”

Apis did everything he could to convince Cleopatra.

"No, it shouldn't be said that I brought it here, Caesar's situation today is more due to his character. He was a brilliant politician, but at the same time he was also a fanatical fighter. Appis, you've been following Caesar for years, and I've heard that he's always adventurous and survives in the most dangerous places, haven't I? You see, Caesar would be like that on the battlefield, and it would be the same in politics. And one thing you seem to overlook is that the success of Rome's reform was also due to Caesar's character. If it were someone else, it wouldn't have been possible. Alas, achievements are due to character, and failure, perhaps, is also due to character. Everything may be like a double-edged sword, but after all, there is no perfect person who can control it. ”

Cleopatra spoke gently, her words and deeds revealing the perfection of the aristocracy, and more importantly, the content of the conversation made it almost impossible for Appis to argue. Yes, the queen saw clearly what was happening in Rome before Apis' arrival, and Apis suddenly had a feeling that if Egypt was not too weak at this time, I am afraid that Cleopatra could bring Egypt to a new era. She saw even more clearly what was happening in Rome than Apis. In fact, there is no need to talk about many things anymore.

"So, you also know that there is about to be a turmoil in Rome?"

Appis asked helplessly.

"Caesar, so to speak, knew that. But he believes that a hero should not be wary of those villains everywhere. As for my coming, in fact there were no such serious consequences, the root of the crisis was the Roman aristocracy lurking in the depths of Roman politics, they were the victims of Caesar's reforms, so they would take every opportunity to defeat Caesar. And I, on the other hand, am just an excuse for them to stir up strife. ”

Cleopatra's wisdom suddenly touched Appis with an inexplicable sense that not only men are smart in the world, but women just don't have the opportunity to stand out in many cases. Appis found the conversation with Cleopatra to be actually very comfortable, she was very intelligent and sexy, and it was no wonder that Caesar and Antony were smitten by her.

"Well, it's just that I think the fight came too quickly. And you, it is entirely possible to show up later. You should know that in the event of turmoil in Rome, Egypt will bear the brunt of the endangerment. ”

The queen had seen everything, and Appis relaxed and talked.

"Yes, I know. But you have to understand me, since I became Caesar's lover, I have lost all political freedom. What he wants to do, no one can stop. Many may think that I would prefer another civil strife in Rome so that Egypt can once again be free from Roman rule, but you and I are well aware that such an idea is too naïve for our time. No matter how chaotic Rome is, it is still a mighty giant. So, no matter what kind of turmoil has occurred in your country before, Egypt has not participated. And, like you said, Egypt was the biggest granary of Rome, and in the event of civil strife in Rome, the sewers would first target Egypt, and Caesar gave Egypt freedom, but I don't know what the next ruler will do with Egypt. So, you see, in fact, I don't want anything to happen to Caesar either. ”

Having said that, Apis also knew that the queen was actually in the same position as himself, and the key to the matter was Caesar. It's like an old saying in the Celestial Empire - to untie the bell, you need to tie the bell.

Unfortunately, Caesar was a man who went his own way......

……

"Klein, take this letter with you, go to Spain, and hand it over to Lepida. Remember, travel overnight, take my official documents, no one will ask you on the way. ”

After returning to his official residence, Apis immediately called Klein and handed the letter he had written in advance to his most trusted brother.

"What is this?"

Klein asked curiously as he left. He didn't know what else was more important than exchanging gold lately.

"I will tell Lepida that he is ready to assemble his legions, and that in the event of unrest in Rome he may drive his army to Rome as quickly as possible. Today I went to Cleopatra, she already knew everything, however, Caesar's high spirits made him completely ignore the potential threat. We must prepare for the worst, brother. ”

Believing that Crane was absolutely sincere to him, Apis told him all about his plans and concerns. At this time, Klein learned that during the days when Lepida was not in Rome, Apis had maintained frequent contact with him. At first glance, Apis' allies were Fabius, Klaas the Younger, and others, but the biggest ally was actually Lepida, who was the governor of the province far away in Spain......
