Chapter 38

"But I need you, and the children need you!"

"I swear to the gods of heaven that I need you too! Therefore, I must go back first, and when my tribe becomes stronger, I will send someone to pick you and the child up, and at that time, no one can stop us from being together!" Trust me, I can do it! Ma Su swore with relief.

"But how long will it take, I don't want to leave you for a moment now!" Lucy said that, and the two kissed.

"Trust me, it won't be long! Now, let's forget about that and enjoy the moment! ”

"Hmmm! Aronsi, want me! Lucy said in a daze.

"But you're still pregnant with a baby!"

"Let's be lighter, it's fine!" Lucy held the hard words on her body.

Ma Su carefully fed Lucy, and pulled Shuangni to the side to comfort her. The three daughters reacted very strongly after a long time, and they were entangled with Ma Su this night, and finally they were all defeated like chaff.

Two or three days later, after receiving a notice that he could go, Masu rode off on the horse that Lucy had prepared for him.

Andy, a businessman who set off together, is a middle-aged man of nearly forty years old, and he has some business dealings with Buzhuang, and his relationship is not bad. In addition, the road to Gaul was not safe, and one more person was safer, so many merchants usually traveled in groups.

After entering the territory of the Gauls, Andy became cautious and warned the mercenaries to be vigilant. However, there were no accidents on the road. Masu found that after each tribe of Gauls, Andy could enter as long as he paid a certain amount of commercial tax. And the Gallics of the tribe will quickly surround them, and inquire about Rome in the south, whether you want it or not.

After the group arrived at the Piktavi tribe, which was near Dijon in the previous life, Masu decided to separate from the caravan after some inquiry. Because Andy was going to the tribe of the Pyridians in the northeast and buying some iron ore there, while Masu was going northwest, and his tribe was near Orleans in the previous life.

Immediately reunited with his family, Ma Su was like an arrow, and after asking about the way, he hurried away. Leaving in the morning and stopping in the evening, he was ready to rest for the night and leave again tomorrow.

Finding a sheltered place from the wind, Ma Su lit a bonfire and prepared to fill his stomach. At this moment, Ma Su always felt that something was wrong.

"Come out, friend! Hiding your head and showing your tail is not our Gaul style. Ma Su looked in one direction and said.

After a while, two people walked out of the darkness. A man with a cape, a strong body, with a bow and arrow in his hand pointed at Ma Su. The other person was even taller and stronger, about 1.9 meters tall, with his hair and beard tied, and an iron sword in his hand.

"Friend, what do you want to do, if you want to rob, I still have some money in my hand to give you?" Ma Su smiled.

"Leave your horse behind, and we may let you go, for the sake of the Gauls." The long-haired man said like the head of the two.

"The horse can't work, I still have to rely on it to get away!" Ma Su refused.

"Get out of here, or we'll kill you!" Another scolded.

Ma Su suddenly moved, jumped and rolled to dodge the arrows that came at him, and before the second arrow could be shot, he rushed in front of the long-haired man, and the iron sword in his hand stabbed him in the chest. The long-haired man was also very alert, dodging Ma Su's sword, throwing away his bow and arrow, and drawing the iron sword at his waist. At this time, another person also rushed towards Ma Su with a sword, one against two!

Masug fended off the tall sword, advanced his elbow, and slammed it into the opponent's stomach, knocking the man out with a single blow. Ma Su ignored the fallen man and turned to fight the long-haired man. This person is much more difficult to deal with, and he has a lot of strength.

In the fight, Ma Su found that the long-haired man's swordsmanship was very strong, and the two fought hard. Ma Su's heart moved, and he used the word wrapping trick, and suddenly, the long-haired man found himself very uncomfortable, and he always felt that he couldn't use his strength, not to mention how aggrieved he was. The more he fought, the more anxious he became, and then his wrist hurt, and the sword fell, and the next moment the sword was against his neck.

"Don't kill Armand, please, we don't want horses!" The tall man knelt down in fright, begging.

"Karl, get up!" The long-haired man scolded angrily.

"What do you say?" Ma Su held the sword and said coldly.

"I'm not as good as a person, if I want to kill you, I want to kill you, but I hope you can let Carl go." Armand said calmly, with no look of fear in his eyes.

"Will you let him go back and report the news?" Ma Su snorted.

Meanwhile, in Rome, something happened that made the dictator Sulla angry.

Here, we are going to introduce Sula.

Two years earlier, Sulla had led his troops to land directly on the south bank of Rome and defeated the democratic army, slaughtering more than 40 veterans and more than 1,600 knights. By this time, the democrats Marius and Chinner had died, and Sulla was able to win easily. After that, Sulla decisively harvested the wealth and slaves of the losers, and established more than a dozen military colonies to house hundreds of thousands of veterans.

In doing so, Sulla gained great prestige in the army, and he became dictator for an indefinite period of time. In order to strengthen the power of the senators and nobles behind him, Ma Su chose 300 irons to supplement the Senate, and the Senate was also expanded to 600 people. Increase the number of magistrates from the original 6 to 8, plus 2 consuls to serve as governors of 10 provinces upon the expiration of their terms.

In this way, Sulla became the ruler of Rome. At this time, he discovered a man - Pompey, whose father had also served as an archon before, and there was a lot of power behind him. And Pompey, for his own interests, also resolutely joined Sulla's camp, divorced his original wife, and married Sulla's daughter as his wife.

Soon, Pompey was sent to Sicily to receive the troops of the Marian democrats. Then, just over two months earlier, Domitius in North Africa had revolted and wiped out the kingdom of Hespsal that had surrendered to Rome. Sulla ordered Pompey to send troops to conquer and restore his subjects.

But Sulla did not expect that his son-in-law would take only 40 days to solve Domitius and conquer Africa. What is even more hateful is that the high-profile Pompey offered to hold a triumphal ceremony for him, and many people in the Senate expressed support for Pompey, and Sulla felt a little uneasy.

"Your Excellency the Dictator, are you still bothered by Pompey's affairs?" In Sula's mansion, a young man in his twenties noticed Sula's irritability.

"Pompey, fool, doesn't he know that his request is against the law? Is he an archon? It's too much for a guy who isn't even an administrator to ask me to hold a triumphal ceremony for him! Sura said.
