"Don't be like this, please, I am a very prestigious figure in the Gentile neighborhood, and those Tianzhu and Thracians are very obedient to me, and I can definitely help your cause." Amartius was still pleading, and he shifted his focus to Lybida, "Hey, I said that the black-haired and bearded cavalry commander with a silk beard like Seris, you are a legend of a foreigner yourself, wouldn't you want to fund the rise of another legend?" ”

He turned around and said to Matthias, who had helped him put on his toga robes, "Give the fellow with earrings and nose rings, who claims to be Marius's grandson, five hundred cesdes, and tell him to roll to the back of the queue and stand by." ”

Amartis, who had taken the money bag, had a light in his eyes, but he still followed behind them, and shouted, "I am not short of this money, five hundred small silver coins, and I can raise a large sum of money for the late elder Julius. Lord Caesar has erected a large altar and monument in the neighborhood, and only needs your approval. ”

But neither cavalry commander answered him, "There are so many people who deceive and steal the world now, and all kinds of strange characters are flocking to the city of Rome." After that, Anthony came to his pulpit like a gladiator, and said to Li Bida.

"It's okay Marco, for us, as long as we have a lot of energy now, whether he is a nobleman or a ruffian on the street, he can be used by me." Li Bida then and Anthony came together, crossed arms, and encouraged each other to cheer, "Immediately on the pulpit, I am the sword, and Marco is the shield to protect the whole situation, are you used to it?!" ”

"No problem at all, it's all according to the plan!" Anthony is confident. "Look. The bastards are coming. It's as if their hands and bodies have never been stained with anyone else's blood. ”

Sure enough, on the other side of the street, Brutus, Cassio, Casca, Spinzer, Aetius, Eulabella, and others, all wearing red and white robes, identified themselves, came to the intersection of the spears, and took off all their clothes one after another, and after being examined, put them on one by one. Among them, Luga also arrogantly pointed to Li Bida and Anthony when changing clothes, pointed to the scar on his buttocks with his finger, and then made a defiant gesture.

"Sure enough, they're going to use wolf pack tactics in the big debate?" Anthony said.

"Because they are all timid in front of me, like a crowd of women, 'they' think that when they come up to me, they can crush me on the bed and ride on me and do whatever they want!" Li Bida said, and Anthony laughed. Then Li Bida chewed a few mouthfuls of mint leaves and cleared his throat. "Don't worry, I'll be able to defeat them, but in the middle of the game, you'll have to keep an eye on Cassiyo and Aetius, and I'm expecting him to make extra moves." So don't miss it again this time, Marco. ”

"Yes, I'm always around, waiting for your signal." Then, two people, one by one, ascended the pulpit.

In front of the temple, surrounded by walls and gardens, a huge "E" shaped field was formed, so that only the delegates could enter, and the people could only watch from afar, and then Brutus and his party walked to the opposite pulpit, and stood around the place where they spoke.

During the whole process, the two sides did not say a word. On the steps of the temple, the third people who stood to watch were not the same as the people who did not have the right to enter, most of them were Roman or local dignitaries, or foreign guests, and many figures of speech, because the debate itself was agreed not to produce any effective lex or bills, so they naturally had the right to watch and even applaud (or cheer) - the leader of this group was Cicero.

In fact, Cicero has a hard time, he will not participate in this matter with the mentality of watching the excitement, although Caesar has had many holidays with him before, but the two sides are far from the point of life and death, and in terms of Cicero's speculative mentality, Caesar is still a "friend who has not broken his face and can be picked up at any time", I believe that Caesar also sees himself, Cicero is very satisfied with his original position in the political arena, sleek, low-key, and offending each other, just like a fish diving into the deep sea, Peace of mind, living a small rich and peaceful study life. So Cicero did not receive any formal invitation to join the cabal before and after Caesar's death, in other words, he would not have gone if he had, which was in conflict with his philosophy that "the assassins themselves are subverting the order of the Republic, and what they have built may be more terrible than what they have destroyed."

Before the great debate, many senators or servants of the senators, at the risk of violating martial law, came to his house in a steady stream and demanded that Cicero "now use eloquence and do something for the republic."

But Cicero's reply was, "What you don't do is what you do for the republic." ”

But when Caesar was assassinated, his good son-in-law Eupella, took him by the hand and raised it to make a statement, the old man felt that the world he was running in had completely collapsed - he was "sided" again, and he was drawn into the Colosseum of cruel fighting, and his enemies were not only Claudia, Frivia, and Antony, but also the most terrible of all, Lybidaeus, his close friend Aetius was the mastermind, and his son-in-law Eulapella was also involved because of greed, which was too terrifying.

Therefore, Cicero's behavior today is to reaffirm to everyone: I am not on any side, old man, but a peaceful bystander.

"Rest assured, bad luck hasn't paid my debt yet." On the steps, Cicero said to an old friend, smiling wryly and mimicking Brutus' tone after assassinating Caesar. At this time, the sand and rocks flew outside, and the clouds were even more rolled together, and they were crowded over the Temple of Mother Earth, but the people did not leave because of the bad weather, but they gathered more and more, and the woods on both sides of the temple were blown back and forth, and the ominous wind, the noisy wind, all made Cicero's mood to the peak.

Finally, when the red flag was raised on Capitol Hill to signify the official opening of the debate, Brutus first asked for a speak, for he was at the heart of the whole storm and turmoil, and that such an arrangement was reasonable, and that all wanted to hear it," said Marcus. Why did Brutus, the nobleman whom Caesar regarded as his own, do this? ”

But soon, the trumpets and trumpets used by the army also sounded, and to the exclamations of everyone, from all corners of the street, soldiers with shields and team emblems appeared, and they formed a larger circle around the perimeter of all the hills surrounding the temple of Mother Earth, and all the people present were firmly bound inside, and then the soldiers beat their shields, and the streets and temples trembled.
