Before Li Bida could answer, Peternius picked up the silver coins, put them in the palm of Li Bida's hand, closed his fingers again, and said in a tone that was half ashamed and half unconscious: "I do have some small problems now, and I hope to get Caesar's help, even though I used to be in the camp of Cicero and Neruda, but now I still want to play for Caesar." I know that you are not short of money at all, you were the richest in the city legion back then, and now you have become Caesar's janissaline, so this money is just a little respect from the old boss, and I hope you can be accommodating with Caesar's clerk and advance the date of my visit by three or five days, because I have received the news that Caesar will soon leave Milan and go to all parts of Gaul to preside over the itinerant inquisition. Please, old subordinate! ”

The Spanish swordsmen around him shrugged their shoulders and laughed, but Li Bida didn't say anything, just promised that he would do his best, because I was just a little janissaline, after saying that, he put away the silver coins, saluted the old superior, and turned into the inner hall, he saw the somewhat hunchbacked figure of Petronius back and forth, and he was definitely a little embarrassed: this old guy seems to be of some use.

"There's a commotion out there." Now that the day's meetings were over, Caesar asked, holding his forehead and leaning in his chair.

When Li Pida told the truth, Caesar said angrily, "Let my personal slave Giuliano go at once, and fire the cook at once, for there are always a few filthy vampire lice on a beautiful blanket, and I think that the beautiful patterns are all due to him." ”

"Also, there is a figure outside the courtyard who can't afford to pay the bribe, and of course you know that this is human nature, Your Excellency. So allow me to use that word. So I've been anxious that I can't see you. This man is Peternius, and you should know him. ”

"That guy has a lot of military talent, but he's not a person I can use." Caesar said ambiguously.

"This is natural, and I advise him not to enter the Gallic Provincial Army of His Excellency the Governor."

"You mean to send him to the Egyptian expeditionary force for your use? That's fine, you don't have experienced senior officers. Caesar understood the meaning of Li Pida's request, so he called the clerk. Say that tomorrow I will put this name Peternius first, and I will meet him personally.

The next morning, the rooster in Caesar's mansion actually reported it a moment earlier, and when the unknown people outside were all scrambling to block the door, ready to squeeze inside, Caesar's servants shouted angrily, saying that you dead stars, each of them is Sirius that runs in all seasons. Didn't you hear the chicken tell the time in advance, and more unstoppable servants with sticks? Angrily beating these people, among them Petnius, was beaten a few times by the stick on the arm and forehead, although he was bleeding and his clothes were disrupted, he still gritted his teeth and fell crookedly and rushed inside, his family had exhausted its assets, and his wife and children also needed a lot of child support, as long as he could see His Excellency Caesar, even if he was a low-ranking centurion in the legion, he was willing to do so.

"What are you doing! It was not permissible to treat the Governor's guests as such. On the steps of the garden in the front hall, Li Bida was still standing there with his sword in his "Sagenmu" jacket, and he scolded very majestically, but the Caesar servants who were showing off their might in front of the municipal administrator bowed their heads and bowed their hands when they saw Li Bidaeus, and they didn't dare to breathe. Then the guests rejoiced, and straightened their clothes, and prepared to go inside, including Peternius.

"Get out of here, you down-and-out fellow, you don't have any money and you dare to come to your lordship!" At this moment, a man with a fat brain pressed Peternius against the wall and said in a threatening manner.

"Let go, this is my old general." Li Bida stepped forward and slammed the man's wrist, and the guy howled like a pig, and then Li Bida led Peternius into the courtyard, and said to the crowd that was about to continue to squeeze forward, "Today, Your Excellency the Governor is not in good health, so there is only one person to meet you, and the rest will go back." These words aroused the screams and madness of the others present, who thought that Li Bida, the guard, was in need of their bribes, so they all held the money bag in one hand, including the fat man whose wrist was almost broken, and shook the gold and silver coins in it like a tide, and shouted that I want to see His Excellency the Governor, and I have a very important message to him.

Li Bida sneered twice, pointed with his finger, and the servants standing next to him nodded knowingly, and then raised their clubs and struck violently at the group of coin-shaking guys, while the twenty Spanish swordsmen stood in a semicircle at the door with their armor and the hilt of their swords, preventing idlers from entering at will.

This kind of scene surprised Peternius, who was standing next to Li Pida, and he was a little ignorant in his mind, so he followed the very polite Li Bida in.

When he saw Caesar sitting in the main hall under the patio, he smiled gratefully at Li Bida and stood respectfully in front of Caesar.

Caesar coughed twice, picked up the clerk's tablet, asked Peternius about his identity very softly, and then put it back, "Well, do you want to forgive your debts, or do you want to get a job?" ”

"I'm ashamed to say it, honorable chief executive, I really can't afford to bear the debt, I just hope to get a military position in the province, excuse me"

"This, there are no vacancies in our army, whether it is a military protector or an adjutant general, I heard that you are a very experienced officer, what a pity." Caesar spoke very categorically, "If you don't mind, the Republic has a colonial committee for Inner and Outer Gaul right away, and I can help you take up your position in it." ”

"But" Petneus's face wrinkled and distorted, I don't know if Lu Dao is crying or laughing, you must know that Lu Dao is a big benefactor who participates in the colonial committee, and only they have the strength to rise a new city in the flat land, and I don't know what the benefits of joining a broken person like him in Lu Dao can be.

At this time, he suddenly saw that Libida (of course, in his mind, Calabis), who was standing beside Caesar, leaned down and discussed something with Caesar very affectionately, but Caesar frequently bowed his head, and finally said to him heartily: "This is good, recently the Republic wants to fund Ptolemy's Restoration Army, we need a volunteer army of 3,000 men, and we need experienced senior officers." ”

"I can, I can, Your Excellency the Governor! I came up from the legion, I worked at the level of work, and I can do any position, even if I am a centurion. Petnius didn't bother to consider the true identity of "Calabis", so he hurriedly shouted. (To be continued......)
