At this moment, there was a neighing of horses beside the woods, and suddenly more than a dozen heavily armed cavalrymen came out, led by a handsome young man, with a light beard, wearing luxurious armor and cloaks, saddles and halters were of high grade, and behind him were several Mattians with high noses and deep eyes covered with turbans, wearing bows and arrows and spears, and several Roman cavalrymen with shields, "I seem to have seen the phenomenon of bullying by classmates, is it true that children are like this now?" I was in the academy, and only the teacher's ruler could hit me. Mecenas, the cavalry captain of the Macedonian province, said to Casca Jr. and the others in a mocking tone.

At this moment, little Casca was stunned, he never expected that the appearance of Mecenas had been prepared, because the other party had been ordered by the cavalry commander to go back to Rome to run for the military tribune, and by the way, he was responsible for escorting Octavian.

"Damn, it's that bastard from Mecenas, he's the captain of the cavalry, don't mess with him, let's go!" Little Casca is determined not to suffer the immediate loss, so he takes his fox friends and dog friends to escape.

There was a sound of horses' hooves, and Mattia laughed, and soon galloped in front of them in a playful manner, and surrounded them all, and just as one of them was about to run out, an arrow flew and whistled against his scalp, and pierced into the trunk of a tree on the other side.

"Don't run!" Mecenas gripped the reins and shouted angrily.

So Casca the Younger, along with all his accomplices, could only stay where they were, "Casca, remember, now I am not Turinus, I have inherited the name of Octavian, and when I enter Rome, I will inherit the name of Caesar." Your father's good life will not last long. Octavian turned. Said coldly to little Casca.

"Yes, Octavian." Little Casca's tone suddenly became very gentle. Then he looked at Leo with a begging look, "I hope you remember what you just said." ”

Casca Jr. meant to make Leo remember what he had just said about "friendship", but Leo thought for a moment and said to Mecenas, "I still remember what I said just now, Casca-san wanted to drag the three of us into the grove over there. ”

At this time, Agrippa and the others forced themselves to laugh. So Mecenas, who was also about to take it anymore, ordered, "Then fulfill their wishes, and drag them all to the woods!" ”

In the gloomy woods, little Casca was hung upside down from a branch, and Agrippa used the back of his short sword to slap his bare buttocks so hard that the other party howled like a pig, and then in the backward horizon, he saw the fate of his companions, all the cavalry. Octavian and Leo were all seated on their mounts. Surrounded by the hilt of his sword, all of Casca's companions were forced into groups of three, one "strung together" and the other, and forced to "stab" the backyard flowers of the people in front of them, and after a while, the Mattia cavalry flew over and whipped them, so that the front guy was in tears, and went around to the rear.

When Octavian was tired of it, he waved his horsewhip and motioned for Agrippa to put down the little Casca, and then the fat man was held down and knelt down in front of Octavian's horse, "How Casca, aren't you from the most glorious and staunch family in Rome who supported the Republic?" How about having some courage and fighting us to the death? ”

At this time, little Casca was completely stunned, he would only pout his scarred buttocks, begging for everyone's forgiveness, "Why, didn't you say you were going to tell me to take that in your mouth?" Octavian said sarcastically.

"No, no, I should be the one who will carry you." Little Casca didn't possess his body, and then crawled in front of Octavian, but Octavian was so disgusted that he directly slashed his head and face with a horsewhip, and little Casca covered his bloody face, and groaned and crawled in front of Leo, meaning to ask for forgiveness at the cost of Leo's words.

"Please don't do that, Casca-san, I've thought of a very compromise, so that Turinus can forgive you." Leo hurriedly raised his horsewhip to stop him.

At last the slaves of the retinue took a donkey, and first teased her with long grass, and then tied it to a miscellaneous tree, and the little Casca was covered with scars and rags, but still under the threat of the dismounted cavalry, who kept stabbing him with their whips or the tips of their spears, and walked tremblingly behind the she-donkey, and then twisted her head and plunged deep into it with the she-donkey's slight disdainful cry

At this time, in the courtyard of the Pisso family house on the Palatine Hill, there were a large number of bundles of rods and servants standing in front of the door, and Li Bida himself stood in front of the door to welcome Anthony's arrival, and now Anthony was wearing a round-necked robe made of colored silk, hanging golden jewelry and amulets, and his fingers were full of rings and jade stones, which formed a sharp contrast with the plain Li Bida.

What's even more remarkable is that behind Anthony are hundreds of guards, all of them are well-armored and well-armed, "Marco, this is just a private banquet, isn't there a need for such fanfare?" Li Bida's words were slightly sarcastic, Anthony just smiled and didn't say anything, and then the two hugged a few times and walked into the house.

"The Senate is demanding that I hand over the keys to the Holy Treasury, and now that Caesar's funeral is over, I seem to have little reason to resist its edict." Pisso said at the banquet, leaning on the couch and sighing.

"So today's banquet is here to settle the problem of Caesar's inheritance?" Anthony didn't shirk anything, and introduced the topic very generously, and Colpunia, who was sitting next to her, bowed her head and was silent, she gave the inheritance to Anthony for safekeeping, and now she is embarrassed to ask Anthony to return it directly.

But Li Bida, who was sitting there, spoke, "Yes, that's right, Marco, if Caesar's private inheritance is with you, then please hand it over, don't give it to others." ”

"You're doing this for my good, aren't you?" Anthony leaned back and replied in a cold tone, "Then I would like to ask you, eighty percent of Caesar's inheritance is real estate and only twenty percent is cash, but I have spent all the cash, after all, I have recruited thousands of veterans to maintain the safety of my wife and you, and also to maintain the integrity of the entire city of Rome, right?" ”

"I think I should repeat Marco again, neither you nor I are the owners of the estate, among them I am the guardian of Turinus, if you have the title deeds of all the immovable property in your hand, then please take it out as well, and in the future, whatever it is, it will also be in the hands of Turinus, and as for him to take possession or sell it, that is his business, not yours." Li Bida's tone suddenly became stern. (To be continued......)
