Li Bida smiled and put his hand down, and the soldiers fell silent when they brushed the ground, and then he turned around and walked down two steps, just below Defoemos, and the high priest also smiled and put a golden laurel leaf crown on his head, and the priest next to him held sparrows, rabbits and other lively things in his hands, and entered the inner hall in turn to offer sacrifices, and Li Bida with the golden laurel leaf crown walked to the makeshift pulpit and said to all the soldiers, he did not use the manuscript at all, This made the generally low-level soldiers feel very admired, but I studied rhetoric with Tyrannan:

"Dear comrades, I have promised you before that we will stop us in front of this temple of great love, and that you may be rewarded for your previous battles, but I feel that there is something more sacred to bind us and bless us than the reward, and that is the mercy of Venus, who beseeches us not to offend her throne, but to reward us with greater riches—and I now declare at once that I will take out the eight hundred Tallents of gold and silver, and reward you with all them!"

The soldiers erupted in loud cheers, and Sabo stood by and quickly calculated, eight hundred tarents, that is, more than five million drachmas, even if the rewards of Zo and the centurion were several times or even ten times that of the soldiers, but each of them could still get about five hundred silver coins, and even the military slaves could get thirty or fifty pieces, no wonder the soldiers were all like chicken blood.

However, Li Bida had other plans in mind, and the reason why he wanted to get the account book and strictly forbid the high priest to keep the copy was to prevent Cato and Brutus from getting involved, as long as the account book was in the palm of his hand. How many. It's up to him to decide how much to use. Half of them must be his own, and then he will have to pick up an additional 1,500 Talents and let Cato return to Rome with 2,000, which will probably allow him to enjoy the second little triumph.

At this time, when he saw the pitiful eyes of the high priest, he remembered the previous contract, cleared his throat a little, and asked the soldiers to immediately draw two brigades. A brigade patrolled around the temple, while a brigade erected a wooden fence around the temple to prevent idlers from entering, and he asked the soldiers to cherish and cherish this spectacle as much as they did with their eyes, "Because this is the glory of our thirteenth legion, I will report the news of the liberation to all regions of the republic as soon as possible, and from now on the reward of money will be in place, everyone's mood can be calmed down, and all officers and soldiers will return to their respective combat posts." ”

"I am the Pur (Sumerian for Sumerian agent) of the god of love, and I can say it to you now. Because he has restored the glory of the land of the ancestral gods of the Republic, this golden laurel leaf crown and this gold star chain. It will always be to Him and his people, who is now a friend of God. Defoemojes, according to the previous rehearsal, first wrapped the chain of Venus around Lypida's neck, and then took his hand and raised it, shouting.

The priests and soldiers hidden in the sacred forest suddenly released a flock of gray sparrows, which verified the recognition of the "friend of God" and her little friend, this process is not divided into dynasties, regardless of Chinese and foreign necessities, feudal superstition must be engaged, and superstition in the slave era must be carried out.

At this moment a Gallic rider in a Celtic hat hastened to the front of the procession, claiming that he had come from the camp, and begged His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief to return there as soon as possible, for the shoulders of Ptolemy of Cyprus were appearing in front of the camp, and the people who remained there did not know whether to meet or attack.

What is the situation, is the eldest cousin going to surrender? Although this situation was already planned, this method of surrender was also new, Li Bida stopped the high priest who wanted to follow, and then took a few followers and rode away with the rider who reported the news.

Between the besieged camp and the new city, about two furlongs away, was an open field at the foot of a hill, trivial dark dust, blown by the sea breeze, and dozens of men and women dressed as court servants stood neatly with their hands bowed, and in the middle of them four beautiful shoulders had been laid on the ground, all hanging down their curtains, and under the clouds, with an indescribable bleakness and strangeness.

The one who was the head of the eunuch wore a high hat, and when he saw Li Bida with a crown of golden laurel leaves dismounted in front of him, he knew that this was the supreme commander of the Romans, so he said in a sharp and sad tone, "Your Excellency Pharaoh, unwilling to surrender to the enemies of the world, has crossed the yardstick of the country of truth, and the threshold of justice and peace, and has turned into the sunshine with the void, rising and falling forever. ”

You just say that your pharaoh burped, Li Bida frowned and listened to the eunuch attendant's tirade, and several generals with a calm face, walked to the shoulder side of the "Caprishi" crown, this blue crown was worn by the pharaohs of the past dynasties, and when the curtain was lifted, he saw the "big cousin" dressed in gorgeous clothes, and he had already put on a wax mask, which was a necessary instrument for the deceased, Li Bida must-have and took off the mask, and inside was Zhang Wuqing's distorted face, There are still black blood stains on the nose and the corners of his mouth, this is probably the eldest cousin, his kingdom and the wealth of the seven thousand Talrants have harmed him, and in the end he can neither get real assistance from the Kingdom of Egypt, nor can he escape from this island, and there is no loyal army to fight for him to the end, so he can only choose to commit suicide by poisoning.

The second shoulder is the wife of the eldest cousin, the body of the eldest cousin, no, to be more accurate, it is actually Adina's half-sister, who was married to Cyprus by Mithridates before, and she also has beautiful maroon hair, but she has died - before Li Bida asked Adiana if she needed to protect her sister in the war, but Adiana replied indifferently in front of the mirror, "God decides who should live." ”

The third and fourth were several children, all four or five years old, who were supposed to be the descendants of the couple, and all of them had been poisoned, and Li Bida sighed and put down the curtains one by one, stood in front of the eunuch, and said bitterly, "This is the greatest misfortune of this war, and I will report this tragic news to my superiors as soon as possible, that is, His Excellency Cato, the Governor of Cyprus, and all these members of the royal family will receive a dignified funeral, and I am sure that His Excellency the Governor will approve it." ”

In such an environment, it is natural to put the responsibility for forcing the Ptolemaic royal family to commit suicide on Cato Jr.

The eunuch and all the servants knelt down with weeping and put their hands at Li Bida's feet to express their greatest gratitude to the general. (To be continued......)
