Li Bida also laughed, shook his head and said that what he said just now was just a joke, in fact, I want to verify the myth of your family.

"Mythology?" Caesar Nahan said.

"Yes, mythology. From the fall of Troy, to the escape of Aeneas, to his legendary exile, to how he traveled to the Apennines to thrive. Therefore I am going not only to Asia Minor, but also to the biographers, poets, and naturalists, to inquire into the real connection between the people of your family and the gods, and to make it an epic of the whole Roman empire and nation, and you must understand that the common people are most fond of this kind of thing, and they will automatically ignite a sense of pride in their hearts, and regard you and your family heritage as the blood of the whole nation, and your glory will be theirs forever. So my plan is, don't waste these four months, I will invite all the relevant outstanding talents in the Pulma Villa; Then, when the expedition came, I would first take a boat to Fort Lybida and use it as a base to begin excavating and rebuilding the legendary land of Troy. ”

Caesar stroked his hair back excitedly, and said to Li Bida, "Very good, very good, you also have the title of Grand Counsel of the Capital, in fact, I will allocate your three hundred Talent Sacred Treasury funds to do this, the money is not obtained from the treasury, do not worry about the opinions of those patriarchs and tribunes, it is paid directly from my Holy Treasury, and I will hand over the key to my father-in-law Piso to manage, you can find him, and do your best to select the relevant personnel." ”

After saying this, Caesar put away his excitement, and he said to Li Bida with a solemn face, "If I am in the future, it is likely that something will happen to me in the Roman square before I set out for the expedition." You have to pull Antony and Turinus. Protect my family, my heritage and my country! It would be best if Brutus and Cassiillus had been faithful to me ever since. Joining them is really a rebellion, and we have to have a counter-card -- Lybidaeus, I will now put the card in your hands, and you have been in forbearance rather than a real retreat during these four months, understand? After saying that, Caesar handed over a piece of writing board with a seal to Li Bida's hand, "There is my seal in it, and there is also my ciphertext." Only me, you, and Ijulus can understand, but I can tell you now. Then Caesar said in a very mysterious tone, "I have left three legions behind in Alexandria. ”

In fact, Li Bida had already obtained this information from Cleopatra, but he still chose to listen in silence, and Caesar continued, "In fact, it is an adaptation of the rest of Pompey, especially Macedonia and Crete. The Thirty-first and Thirty-second Legions, and later the Fortieth Legion. The custody of the Legion is in the hands of my most trusted man, Lufio, the son of my personal servant, and his loyalty to me is completely assured—I have thought that if things change, Antony will be in charge of Italy, and you will go to the East, and gather men and horses to quell those who dare to rebel against me, and I grant you complete unfettered power in this instrument. ”

Li Bida thought about it, then took this text and handed it over to Mattia beside him very carefully.

After saying that, the two men walked out of the temple of Jupiter, and at this moment on the altar and the square in front of the whole temple, a full twenty elephants were dressed in gorgeous blankets and gold jewelry, and the elephant master sat on it, and the fire burned on the shooting tower, which illuminated the whole mountain as if it were day, and Caesar and Libida, accompanied by the herd, walked down the Capitor Mountain, and received the cheers and support of all the people.

And in the early hours of the morning, several priests of the temple of Flamemin, quietly at the side door, introduced an uninvited guest, that is, Marcus. Brutus, dressed in pure white robes, also went into the narrow backyard where the sculptures were kept, and then, in the night and in the moonlight, he saw the sculptures of the ancestors, standing side by side with Julius, so close together, and then Brutus went around to the back, and saw that the two statues had been quietly carved by a priest.

On the base of the statue of the elder Brutus is the line that reads, "Lucius. Brutus, because he expelled the king, became the first consul of the republic. "Then Brutus moved on to the base of Caesar's statue, also with a line," Julius. Caesar, because he expelled and killed the consuls, would become king again. ”

Then Brutus stood there alone, speechless.

The next day, Caesar's hospitality to the city of Rome did not end, and all the legions of soldiers gathered in the Grand Varsity or the Grand Velodrome, and continued to receive the money given to them by the dictator, and at last almost every ordinary soldier received a reward of five thousand Cestrians, twice as many as the centurion, five times as many as the military tribunion and chief centurion, and as for the lieutenant and Caesar's personal staff, Caesar sold all the two thousand vessels and crowns of pure gold that Caesar had captured in various wars. In addition, Caesar also shook hands with several legions that had been dismissed in advance, the eighth, ninth and eleventh legions, and distributed the money to the veterans, so that the group reaffirmed their allegiance to Caesar and sacrificed their youth to their children and grandchildren.

At the Colosseum of Neruda, Caesar, wearing a robe and purple boots, together with many veteran staff, announced the start of the great sword fight!

The iron gates of the Colosseum rose with a bang, and a thousand gladiators in helmets and shirtless, from Gaul, from Spain, from Thrace, and from Asia Minor, came out of the four gates, and divided into two sides on the sand field, and several slaves ran into the center of the field as fast as they could, and handed over the real banners to their leaders, one of them of the Roman legions, and the other of the captured Mitra banner of the Bronze Shields, and before the slaves could withdraw, Caesar gave a thumbs up, The master of ceremonies around him immediately announced the start, and the gladiators howled, brandishing iron nets, harpoons, spears, and short swords, and slaughtered each other, and the few slaves who could not dodge were killed by the flying hammers and pike darts at the first time, and fell down screaming, trampled to the dust by countless footsteps.

This "unexpected surprise" immediately made the audience's love xù reach its climax, Caesar also laughed, sat down, the bloody gladiatorial fight and killing lasted for three days, the dead bodies and dying sword slaves who fell on the sand ground and the dying sword slaves were more and more, the whole sand field has turned dark red, like a huge Persian carpet, the audience's throat is hoarse, then Caesar in order to no longer be cold, he sent out a second signal - before the sword slaves who were fighting on foot withdrew, they roared and came from inside the iron gate, Two hundred heavily armed cavalrymen rushed out each.
