"Is your father's estate okay?"

"Of course, with your care, it's all right, how I want to serve under your subordinates, but you are now engaged in civilian work." Maecenas had an outspoken enthusiasm.

And after Li Bida encouraged this guy, he saw another young man, but his clothes were shabby, pulling a thin horse with hair loss, and he had no valuable clothes on his body, like a jackdaw in a flock of peacocks in front of these people, but his eyes were strangely firm, so he was immediately targeted by Li Bida, "He will be a good man in the future." ”

However, Li Bida, who had adopted the method of agitation, deliberately paced in front of the child, took the sword of Mecenas, threw it to the boy with a great deal of care, and said, "Immediately before your master enters the camp and takes the oath, you, as a servant, must keep and polish his sword." ”

The young man straightened up with some anger and dissatisfaction, and said, "Rong Yu, I am not a subordinate, I am from a noble birth, although the family is in decline, because my brother served for Pompey, and you later released him. ”

"Of course, of course, I know who you are, you are Lucius. Vipsanius. Agrippa's brother, isn't it? "Lybida then threw the sword of Mecenas back in a magical way, and then took out a dagger with an ornate scabbard and a bag of silver coins from behind him," Marcus . Come, Agrippa, put on your weapons, and exchange the coins for the clothes that the young nobles like. ”

Who would have thought that Agrippa would only take the dagger and raise it in front of Li Bida, saying, "I only need this, and clothes, money, and merit will come with my own efforts." ”

The former cavalry commander nodded in approval, and both Leo and Octavian stepped forward affectionately. Hug Agrippa and don't let go. They have apparently been acquainted with it for a long time. Agrippa, however, seldom followed them to socialize and watch athletics, and he was a strict teenager.

"Why, young children, sail with my fleet to Apollonia, and then you all become cavalry captains, and study hard at the Apollonian Academy! Writing, rhetoric and math are a must, but don't forget to hone your swordsmanship and riding skills! Rida was in a good mood today, and then Octavian said, "Mecenas is not going to the academy." ”

"Of course he doesn't go to the academy. Because I forgot to mention just now, Meecenas is now only a knight in the province of Macedonia, and you and Leo are his superiors, and he is told to come to the academy every two months to report to you. The children burst into laughter, and Mecenas shouted that I would do my duty.

It was now the end of September, and on the Adriatic Sea, Lypida's fleet was sailing against the wind, and when they stood on deck, they found the whole sea. Brindisi is like a huge magnet that attracts ships from all over the world: Illyria, Greece, Cyrene, Sicily. All kinds of ships covered the sea, but the young men lying on the side of the ship were all kind to the sunset, most of them were not merchant ships, but a fleet of transport ships carrying people, and the most surprising of Leo was a simple and primitive longship from Illyria, I don't know how long the people on board had been tormenting and fighting on it, but when they saw Lipida's ship, they still waved and shouted enthusiastically and proudly, and asked how long the city of Rome would have to walk.

"They were going to stay in the Citizens' Quarters of the Ostia River Harbour, and if nothing else, they had to wait a month or two before they voted on the national programme for the coming year in the 'sheepfold' of the square." Li Bida also lay on the side and explained to the children.

"For citizenship? Guardian, this scene makes me scornful of the Republic, and of any other wonder of the world, for it is the place where Rome is the greatest testimony to the greatness of the shipwreck, and the hardships of sleeping in the open, to come here and quarrel over the affairs of the whole nation. The sea breeze ruffled the hair on Turinus' forehead, and he said these words in intoxication.

Leo was looking at the golden sun, and then he turned back, leaning back against the side of the ship, pulling on the sail ropes, and muttering, "Farewell, mother and sister; Goodbye, Octavia. ”

A few days later, in the port of Apollonia, Turinus, Leo, Meecenas, and Agrippa turned back and waved goodbye to Lypida, "Carrying your baggage, Mecenas, my knight." At this moment Li Bida suddenly shouted, Meecenas turned red, and hurriedly pulled the things carried by the servants around him, and then several children each carried something about the weight of the soldiers' march, and hummed, and each of them went down the gangway and landed on land, and then when the mules and horses in the cabin were led out, they pulled the reins, because no one dared to ride up in front of Li Bida, and walked towards the academy full of aspen and pine trees on the other side of the mountain, where the white courtyard wall was very easy to identify.

Their fleet then proceeded to the port of Piraeus in the city of Athens, which, like the Roman port of Ostia, was a city of Athens that was well designed and defended, and was not directly adjacent to the sea, which made it safe from the surprise attack of the enemy navy.

After becoming a vassal of Rome, the market buildings of Athens were changed to follow the style of the Republic, and a rectangular colonnaded synagogue was built in Agora for municipal councils, and the democracy of ancient Greece was gone, and the power of the city was also in the hands of the elders and nobles.

"For the time being, your party will take up residence in the open field of the square around the Council of the Ten Generals, where houses and tents are rented, and there is good drinking water. When the city had prepared enough supplies, let the overseer take the group to the Isthmus of Corinth. Several local dignitaries standing in front of the Agora Hall said to Li Bida very respectfully.

"Well, the time for this project is not particularly urgent, but the excavation of the ancient city of Troy is imminent." Li Bida looked at the bustling Agora business district with interest, and said casually, as if he didn't care much about any work.

However, the local nobles, who had already been prepared, immediately replied that the city's newly built Pandino Library could meet the needs, "Your Excellency, your secretary and transcriber can live there, and there are still a large number of files in the library for research and access."
