Chapter 1: Race Against Time (Part II)
Printhia immediately felt a sense of being frightened, especially when she saw the black warriors gathered around Lipida's seat, with their antelope-like eyes, thick scarlet lips and curled beard, and black charcoal-like bodies, she remembered that when she was persecuted by Claudius and asked for help from Pompey's slave Demetrius, there was a miserable scene of being Ling, the beautiful courtesan screamed, grabbed her wig, and begged for mercy from Lipida, saying that she had robbed him of his lord's inheritance and killed Claudius. She was just a passerby, never really involved, and hoped that the other party would forgive her again for the sake of the two of them who had fought side by side in the Catiline Rebellion, "I would do anything for you, I can serve you or your adoptive father in bed right now, anyone, as long as it's not these horrible black people." ”
Before she could finish speaking, Printhia felt a foul breath coming from the back of her neck, which was her nightmare, and when she turned her head, Alp looked at her condescendingly, like a leopard, and then grabbed her by the shoulders and tore Princia's blouse extremely savagely, "Please, do it, don't do this, don't do this!" I'm too old to stand such a toss, and I can find ten, if not twenty, young, slender dancers to replace, as long as I give it some time. Pulled by her arms and hair, she was incoherent, kicking her feet and struggling in vain.
As a result, Arp simply threw her to the floor under the steps, and then threw down a hook pen and a clipboard.
"Don't be so afraid, beautiful lady, I won't ask you to harm my adoptive father again, thinking that you are this femme fatale. There's poison there. But I'm not going to be as vile as the Jews. Again, that's the same sentence. Printhia and I have no enmity with you, and with my current strength, little Cato and Dumijus are still dead in my hands, and there is really no need to deal with you. Let's make a deal that is beneficial to both parties, first write out the information you provided to Pompey, and then draw the bet. Li Bida stood on the steps and ordered.
Beads of sweat dripped down Princia, but she had no choice now. Originally, when the city of Rome was on the verge of falling, she did escape from the city and went to the countryside of Campeña to hide, where she still had a few properties, and later before Pompey evacuated the place, she had left a dark line with many local officials and celebrities, and Principia was one of them, because Pompey promised to make her nephew Horace a knight in the future, and even the senator, when Li Bida was in charge before. Principia was still relatively bold, and only dared to collect intelligence remotely in the city of Rome. Don't dare to enter the city lightly. Later, when Anthony stayed in the city, she was careless, and she became bold, like a burrowing animal, seeing that it was getting late, and came out again to actively forage for food, but she did not expect to end up in the hands of Li Bida, and it is no good to deny it now - because Li Bida is the plenipotentiary of Dicktido in the capital, and can execute citizens without public trial, as long as he thinks that the other party is against the law, not to mention that he is still a woman, and the evidence is in Li Bida's hands.
After writing it, Alp gave the word board to Li Bida for verification, and then threw down another word board, asking for more ruthlessness, "Write out the list of the veterans in this city who are connected with Pompey." "The espionage activities of this era are still in the primitive stage, and there is no distinction between online and offline, especially in a place like Rome, where there are many clubs and night parties, it is simply a "big sieve", so the number of personnel in Princeia's hands will not be small. At this moment, Printhia was scared, she knew what this move meant, once Li Bida purged according to this list, she and her entire family would be doomed, and she would definitely be secretly lynched to death by a gutter somewhere at some point, killing people and killing people.
"Wow!" Printhia made up her mind, grabbed the hook pen and stabbed it into her throat, but she was still timid, the hook pen only pierced the skin, and the blood was all over the corners of her mouth and chin, and when she raised the hook pen again, Li Bida stepped forward with an arrow, and easily held her wrist and pulled it, and she fell because she couldn't eat the severe pain.
"It's not a lady's doing!" Li Bida said loudly, held her down, and then threatened, "It takes courage to die, you are just a freeman who was liberated before, and there is no need to be martyred for the struggle of the powerful of the republic." If you are obsessed with it, I will leave you to Claudia, and she and Anthony must be particularly interested in how to torture you to death, and perhaps I will be able to watch with relish. I repeat, with some cooperation, I will not touch your inheritance, and I can provide you with refuge. ”
The wig was mixed with real hair, and Princia, who was scattered, wiped the blood on her body in despair, and had no choice but to continue to pant and engrave her name on the word board. Also, you can continue to send information to Pompey, and I will arrange for your 'informant' in Jingulum to send it out while the weather is good, and at the same time Caesar crosses the sea. ”
"What, but you!" Principia couldn't believe it, she seemed to understand a little bit below, Li Bida was trying to use false information to confuse Pompeo.
But then the man made it very clear, "As a sign of sincerity, I tell you all the numbers and dispositions, and I will take the Sixteenth Legion to Ravenna on the same day, where there is a fleet, and I am ready to cross the sea with the Sixth and Fifteenth Legions, and go to the region of Salona to form a pincer offensive with Caesar, the Thirteenth Legion, which will serve as a false soldier in the city of Rome to confuse Pompey." ”
"What's in it for you!"
"The good thing is that Pompey will continue to receive your information and disrupt the entire layout of the other side in the north and south of Greece. In addition, I have a little secret, that is, in such a clear information, mixed with some untrue information, that is, Ravenna's fleet, in fact, can only transport a team of less than 2,000 people across the sea at a time. Li Bida sneered and said.
Seeing that the other party was puzzled, Li Bida patiently explained, "But according to your intelligence, I have brought three legions, so I can make the colonial cities on the other side fear and surrender to me without any effort, so that only a few men and horses can create a big momentum, create conditions for the establishment of a foothold and defensive circle for safety, and further confuse Gabinus and Byblos and confuse their judgment!"
