But Turinus raised his head politely and replied to his guardian, "Because it was my mother's arrangement, she wanted my uncle to like me, and since I am now my uncle's only male heir, I hope you will protect us and do this well." ”

"Of course, but I have to remind you that the lovely child must be prepared with plenty of herbs to prevent dizziness, vomiting and malaria when sailing soon." Li Bida said kindly, and then Yulia also felt that it was okay to do so, because she regarded Leo and Corinna as if she were her own, so she made a plan to prepare dinner for the two children and Li Bida.

"I'm here in person, woman, you've worked hard all the way here." Li Bida hurriedly came over and said that there were orderly workers in the camp who would prepare the meal.

Then he saw Turinus wink at Leo, and Leo obediently stepped forward, shouted papa, and then took out the scroll from the box and gave it to Libida, who saw that it was very beautiful and neat in Greek, and there were several volumes of narrative poems and several volumes of peasant songs.

"Why, I'm in charge of Leo's child." Yuria's expression probably hoped to get Li Bida's praise, but the other party's mind always seemed to be on the silent Turinus, and Li Bida felt very keenly: Leo is really just a little follower of Turinus, only the other party's horse is the first to look forward.

After sighing in his heart, Li Bida regained his silence, fulfilled Yulia's wish, praised both children, and then asked them if they were learning writing at the same time when they were in Rome. Keep exercising. Both children said they would play kickball and walnut toss a lot. In addition, they also learned to ride horses, so Li Bida took the two children outside the camp, and when they saw the black Arp leading the horses, they couldn't help but be startled, "How young man, look at the real war horses in the army?" Li Bida shouted.

In the next competition, Leo had the advantage, and he stepped on horseback in a very good manner, following the pattern of the drill. But when Lipida's mount smelled the smell of a human being or a child, it arrogantly circled in place, but it also seemed to hesitate, for the child's smell was somewhat similar to that of its master, and livestock were far more sensitive than humans in this respect.

"Leo, if it refuses to run for you, you're going to have to whip it with a horsewhip!" Li Bida said.

Little Leo was visibly unbearable, holding the whip in his hand and constantly kicking the horse lightly with his feet. At last the horse gave in and reluctantly carried him. Ran a little half circle around the camp.

Next, it was Turinus, who seemed to be not very athletic, he was clumsy in front of the horse, or Leo enthusiastically helped, this one climbed up, and then Lypida's mount was also reluctant to be driven by the imp, and circled in circles.

"Brush, brush, brush." As a result, Turinus did not hesitate to pick up the whip, and after a few blows to the horse, a fierceness suddenly appeared on his childish face, and the horse was in pain, and after a few screams, he ran obediently.

"Is it a complete defeat, or is Leo really not suitable? He's really like his mother's character. Li Bida meditated in his heart.

At this moment, as if reading his thoughts, Julia walked to the side and said, "I think Leo will be more suitable for study work in the future, and I have discussed with Potty that when he reaches the age of thirteen, I will let him enter the academy of Tyrannan and Varro." ”

"Wait, let's see where Turinus goes! Tell Leo to come with him, and wait until he is sixteen or seventeen years old to join Tyrannan's door, and I think the old man will live at least twenty years. Li Bida replied.

When the fleet had sailed, the two children, both on the surface of the sea, seemed strong, and they supported each other with leather covers and blankets, and encouraged each other, and stayed among the captains and oarsmen, and Turinus, who had a fever and vomiting, was persuaded by many to enter the cabin rooms to recuperate.

He entered the cabin under the tower, came to the bed of Turinus, and saw that Leo was dispensing medicine there, and said, "Now that you know the benefits of bringing more herbs and ointments, your body is not as good as those big soldiers." ”

"Are you almost on the Libyan coast now?" Turinus's voice was very weak, and his eyes were sunken, "Will I not see my uncle and die like this?" ”

Li Bida said not to worry, then patted him on the chest and said, "Besides, we don't need to rush to see your uncle, we must bring some gifts, so my fleet will turn its sails and go first to seize the base of Pompey's fleet, the island of Kilki." ”

"That can give Pompey a fatal blow, isn't it, that island definitely has a lot of supplies hoarded, I can observe this battle up close." Turinus asked a few "yes", and Li Bida nodded, agreeing with the young man's judgment.

Then, on the morning glow of the sea, Li Pida's fleet was divided into two, one consisting of frigates and transports, and continued in the direction of Ruspina, ready to reinforce Caesar; One group, led by Li Bida and Adanjis, set sail towards the island of Kirki.

But the battle that Turinus longed for did not take place at all—the commander of the fleet on the island, Narcidius, as soon as he saw their flag, took the initiative to leave the harbor and surrender, and there was enough grain for five legions to fight for two months, and there were mountains of grain, and a large number of iron nails, timber, and linen, and a full twenty warships, and four times as many flat-bottomed ships, "Pompey is exhausted." This was Lypida's assessment of the victory achieved without a fight, and Turinus immediately took out his pen and tablet and recorded the words of his guardian, while Leo sat under the mast, perusing the scroll of Synophon's The Education of Cyrus, and the sight seemed to him like an outing.

Caesar's camp was full of cheers, and when his own fleet arrived with fresh reinforcements, two days later Li Bida personally escorted the ships and supplies captured from the island of Kirki, and also arrived at the shore, and the morale of the whole army reached its highest point.

"Call Anthony to come, we are going to hold a joint meeting of the whole army, yes, call all the senior centurions, no matter which regiment or brigade to participate, and the service and defense will be supervised by the low-ranking centurions, we can really fight the enemy in front of us, defeat them, kill them, and sweep them away." Caesar shouted excitedly.

Almost at the same time, Pompey and King Juba's army also came to the opposite side, and Pompey's camp was full of chanting, "Call all the generals, I have to talk to them about how to slaughter Caesar and his men." Pompey, cloaked in the Emperor's cloak, jumped off his horse and commanded the official in front of him. (To be continued......)
