"I prefer the sunshine and warm weather to the damp and cold climates of Gaul and Britain."

"That's when everybody likes to have sunny days in winter, so Egypt is not only a military and grain production area, but also a holiday destination for many Romans."

Walking through the streets of Alexandria, Apis and his old friend Klein chatted without a word. It's late autumn, but the scenery of Alexandria is still beautiful, and the temperature is neither hot nor cold, making you feel slightly cool and comfortable. Small vendors on both sides of the road are still shouting and selling their products. Pedestrians come and go, in a constant stream, crowding almost the entire street. The Greek columns on both sides stretch all the way to the end of the line of sight, returning to Egypt more than 2,000 years ago, and Apis is really emotional for a moment, knowing that more than 2,000 years later, everything here has long been ruined. I can't find a trace of today.

On a sunny morning, Appis and Crane, along with their entourage, walked through the crowd, and since no one knew of their arrival, and no one knew what they looked like, there was no need to worry about any retaliatory action. But Rumanbis's assassination plan was well underway.

A dozen Roman soldiers dressed as servants had long been recognized, and they had been pestered by the gids, the peddlers, and the ruffians, who did not want to enter the Egyptian courtyard, at least not for now, but these people pestered them and did not let them follow Apis. Unable to fight, the GIs pushed helplessly, but were pushed into the brothel by the crowd. Along the way, this was so constant that after less than half a Roman hour, there were only three or four GIs and Klein left with Apis. These people really can't scream, and if they are entangled any longer, it will arouse Appis's suspicions.

Lumanbis knew it was time for him to act. The rest of his life and wealth were relegated to this assassination.

Squeezing into the bustling crowd, through the crowd and noisy crowd, Lumanbis walked up to Appis, who stared at the "prey" with a thick hostility in his eyes. Drew a shiny dagger from the placket of his robe......

"Appis!" Klein spotted the danger first, but by the time he reacted, it was too late, and Lumanbis came up.

A stab at his target, his prey.

The beast-like slaughter made Apis instantly notice the Greek.

Appis reacted quickly and caught Rumembis's dagger with his bare hands before it fell. But the wrist was still slightly cut, and the blood flowed nonstop. The brutal assassination immediately caused a riot among the crowd. The crowd dispersed. The Assassin in front of him was not tall, but he was powerful. Appis could barely catch his sharp knife, and then Crane stepped up and pushed the brute force of the assassin away.

Just as he was about to catch him, Lumanbis struggled to break free, and then stumbled into the crowd......

The guards behind Apis rushed up, knowing that it would be unfortunate for them to protect the boss today, and they must not avoid punishment, and began to pursue frantically in the direction of the assassin's escape. Try to catch the assassin and make amends.

"Brother."

Crane walked over and was concerned about Appis' injury.

"It's just a skin wound, I just want to know who sent him."

Covering the wound with the placket of his clothes, Apis said resentfully. This flesh wound is fine, but from now on, you must be careful with your actions in Egypt. At the very least, someone has set their sights on themselves.

In the streets of Alexandria, a frenzied pursuit battle was staged. Rumanbis fled all the way to the alleys, which covered his escape due to the large number of citizens and vendors on the market day. The chaotic crowd caused several Roman GIs to quickly lose their target, and the Assassins were not located until late evening.

……

"What do you say? Assassination of Appis? ”

The day's events soon reached the palace, and Cleopatra, who was busy with the plague, was surprised and began to wonder what was wrong.

"Yes, during the day, the Assassins drove away Apis' men, and one of the Assassins pounced on Apis. But being intercepted by his men, Apis nearly died. ”

The captain of the guard elaborated.

"Where is Apis now?"

The queen then asked.

"On the coast, with his soldiers."

The captain of the palace guard replied.

"Now go down and send someone to protect that place, drive away the fishermen and traders there, and keep Apis safe. Also, don't let anyone know that the person who was assassinated during the day was Appis. You are the only one who delivers all the news. Send someone to investigate the matter and find out who assassinated Appis and who was behind him. ”

The news of Apis' assassination left Cleopatra in a mess, and at the moment, the prevention and control of the plague needed Apis's help, and since he had cooperated with Apis, he would inevitably be known by Anthony one day, and at that time, Antony would definitely no longer take care of himself. Cleopatra knew that her alliance with Apis was actually a spilled water, and it was difficult to recover.

"But, the Queen......"

"Say, what's the matter?"

Seeing the captain of the guard, Cleopatra instinctively felt a trace of worry.

"Queen, when Appis withdrew to the coast, he refused all protection, trusting only his guards......"

Cleopatra's premonition was fulfilled, and any incident that came to Apis was not trivial, nor was it so easy to resolve. Cleopatra knew that, despite the authenticity of the assassination, it was only natural for Apis to retreat to the seashore to be protected by his own soldiers. There was nothing wrong with him, Alexander's guards could not protect him, so he had to be protected by his own men, which made sense.

Of course, Cleopatra also wondered if the assassination would be a play directed and acted by Appis. To blackmail yourself and put forward more "excessive" conditions? After all, the assassination was not successful, and according to the Captain's statement, Appis had only suffered some skin wounds.

This is not enough to be fatal.

Cleopatra thought left and right, and she knew that this was going to be a very difficult thing to do.

"Help me get dressed, I'm going to meet Appis."

The words of the captain of the guard made Cleopatra anxious, and she immediately ordered her servants to change her clothes immediately, and this sudden incident became the most important thing for the queen of Egypt at the moment, and even the most important thing for all of Egypt.
