Caesarion, who took the sword, kept shaking his wrists, and the blade of the sword dangled in front of Li Bida, and everyone else on the scene was stunned, but no one dared to run, dare to move, or shout anything, this group of people didn't know what their prince would do? Whether to stab the blade of the sword into the high priest's chest in anger, or to do something else.

After a long time, Li Bida suddenly said, "Caesarion! ”

"Yes, guardian!" Caesarion, the child, almost dropped his sword on the ground, instinctively shouted this.

Then the high priest laughed, and he gently pressed the child's immature shoulders with his big hand, and half-squatted down and said to him kindly, "In the future, don't always learn the bow and archery that the Egyptians are proud of, it will only breed cowards who dare not face and judge, and I will arrange for a good sword centurion to give it to you in the future, and you must learn to fight face-to-face in everything, so that you can complement archery." Would you rather or not? Then he grasped the tip of Caesarion's short sword with his fingers and asked softly, "Have you ever shot someone with a bow and arrow?" ”

Under the light, Caesarion shook his head, indicating that he had only shot the animals in the royal garden, Li Bida sighed, slowly turned his finger around Caesarion's blade, and held his back with the other hand, "It's okay child, you will be nervous when you kill for the first time, but since you will have to kill sooner or later in the future, it is better to use this than to use a bow and arrow that cannot see the pain of the deceased." Then the high priest's gaze swept down, and the servants immediately prostrated themselves lower, and at last he locked up the old eunuch who had been talking a lot, and suddenly said to Caesarion. Among your subordinates. Mostly young. As I said, they don't dare to speak of your mother's gossip, because they want to live well—but it's hard to tell who is dying, like this gloomy old fellow, who doesn't have a year or two to live, and who wants to expose a big event through his mouth before he dies. In this way, no matter how humble he was in life, only then will he feel that he has not lived in vain in this life, and this poor and terrible desire can easily dominate such an incomplete person, so what you have to do is to walk over and stab him to death first, which can be regarded as an example for the other servants. After saying that, Li Bida's hand gently patted Caesarion's back and shoulder, "Go, my child." ”

The old eunuch leaned against the foot of the pillar in fright. His already dry body shrank even more, and he suddenly screamed. He crawled over and kissed Caesarion's feet, crying, and telling of his loyalty in the past.

"A truly faithful man will not refuse the death bestowed upon him by his master!" Li Bida stood behind and reminded loudly.

Caesarion finally shouted, and struck the old eunuch in the ribs with a sword, and it was obvious that his body was slashed, but he was still able to roll on his side on the floor, and his hands were stiffly extended, and he wailed and struggled as he moved.

"The old guy looks thin, but his bones and skin are hard, which makes them look like they are wearing leather armor compared to the youngsters. So pierced him in the neck. The High Priest and the Guardian continued to prompt behind, and the rest of the people were so frightened that they swallowed their sobs when they saw this, and could only tremble and tremble incessantly.

There was another long, muffled sound, and Caesarion slowly plunged his sword into the old eunuch's neck, like a child of his age happily playing with a unicorn.

The high priest quickly applauded, approached the child, took back the bloodied sword in his hand, and pointed with his finger, telling Caesarion to look at the corpse, and then to see the reaction of the slaves around him, which made Caesarion feel more happy than ever.

"Now you have to believe the words of the guardian, that is, I have nothing with your mother, but as representatives of two nations, I have made the most normal negotiations, and now that everything is safe, you will henceforth be the king of Egypt, and you will happily command all the creatures of the Nile with your regent in the royal palace of Ibo, and I will always be your strong support, and if anyone dares to disrespect you, or if you want to kill anyone, you will do it—I have promised your mother before, and I have made an oath, It will definitely happen. The high priest bowed down, whispered and calmly addressed the child, then plunged his sword upside down into the Greek scabbard that hung from his waist, and departed, greeted by Matthias and Arp on the steps of the temple, "The affairs with Egypt have been settled, and I will spend the night in the barracks to-night." The high priest stepped down the stairs and quickly commanded them.

Caesarion, who was still breathing a little unevenly, wiped the blood on his hands twice on the hem of his clothes, and pointed to the corpse of the old eunuch to the people, "Clean him out." Then he passed through the corridor of the colonnade, came to the curtain, lifted it and entered, and saw his mother, who was half-open, lying sideways on the rattan couch, holding a small gold leaf fan in her hand, leaning on her snow-white legs, and the bells at her ankles were tinkling in the night wind, while Chamion was lying half-naked on the blanket on the floor, also in a semi-comatose state of overdose, as if they had just gone through the Dionysian celebration dance class.

The room was filled with the strong smell of marijuana leaves and ointments, and Caesarion saw this scene and smelled it familiarly, "My son, you are here, come quickly to your mother's arms." When Cleopatra saw her child, she hurriedly opened her arms and embraced Caesarion in her arms.

"Mother, did you just see my guardian coming out of here?"

When Cleopatra heard this, she fell down on the couch and, with a slight snort, said, "Yes, he went out after the matter was discussed, and Egypt has been settled for the time being, so I am here to rejoice with Chamion." ”

"Can I trust his words?"

"Yes, of course." Cleopatra tried not to look thoughtful, stroked the child's back, and replied.

About two days after the fair-market day, Lufio's three legions, having received the necessary "start-up capital", marched toward Cyrene in obedience to the guidance of the High Priest's Guard, either by ships provided by Egypt or by land from the coast.

Earlier, on the stream in front of the temple of Serapis, Li Bida rode his horse here, watching the shoulders of Cleopatra's mother and son leave on the other side, and then he said to Matthias, "There are some things that are imaginary, but they can't help but be tongue-in-cheek." ”

Matthias couldn't help but sweat when he recalled the scene, and he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Now that I have calculated accurately, the Egyptian fleet, grain, and money are in place, and the conquest against the Republicans will be very smooth at once!" (To be continued......)
