Fort Libida in the morning light, the core building is different from the white of Rome, the golden sunrise is laid on the bay, the docks are full of boats, seabirds are soaring in the emerging neighborhoods and workshops, on the deck of the "Calabia", Adiana and Libida say goodbye, "After I am gone, you will sit in this fortress, and secretly prepare the ships and legions for the resumption of service, maintain close contact with Egypt, Cyrene, and Illyria, wait for me or my signal, and say nothing else, allow me to quote Pericles." For a warrior, a word is worth a thousand words! ”

"Be careful in that savage Roman Forum, and remember my 'Odysseus' you must return, where the beautiful woman of Achaia awaits you. ~" Adiana's tears slipped down her face and she pleaded, "There are many birds shuttling through the golden clouds, but not all of them bring good signs. ”

"No need to worry, woman. All the sacrifices to the temple are entrusted to you. Turning, he stepped off the ship, and then he walked to the square of the fortress, where all the centurions of the Sixteenth and Twenty-eighth Legions stood together, waiting for his lecture, and the first thing the commander said was, "The only thing I can say to you now is that the flag of your Legion is about to return to the light of day!" ”

The whole scene was quiet for a while, and then everyone burst into cheers, and then the military slaves rushed to the temple as if they were flying, and took out the centaur flag of the sixteenth legion, and the one-eyed sea serpent flag of the twenty-eighth legion, and then the flag bearer stepped forward. Took over the high flag. Li Bida pointed in the direction of the west. "Immediately, in the name of assisting in the works, together with all the Gallic slave laborers, will go to the Isthmus of Corinth, and await my next order!" ”

Before the arrival of the expatriate lawyers, the city of Rome was already full of lively scenes, and the large-scale bloody competition had not yet completely ended, but the leaders of the hundred-man teams from various regions and the representatives of the people's associations. They had already wandered around the port of Ostia, dressed in a variety of clothes, including Spanish sagan jackets, Greek wavy robes, and African shorts, some of whom stayed in the cool and comfortable "river harbor villas", some of them took advantage of the day to wander in the civic squares or the arenas, and some of them visited the Evandini Hill and the Palatine Hill to see how far the gap between the Roman nobility and the pauper was.

The tavern business in the city can be described as booming, but many of the elders are hidden in their own courtyards. Sometimes at this party, sometimes at that house to plot. The planning in the corner is getting tighter and tighter.

On the Brutus family's house, often in the dark, they would be put in or pasted with notes, and sometimes when Brutus was dealing with his case in the synagogue, someone would even secretly ask the handyman to stuff him with a piece of paper, which was nothing more than these words, "Old Brutus is dead, the republic is also dead", "Brutus, are you asleep", "If you guess correctly, the Brutus family has long been extinct, and you are just the descendant of the housekeeper slave who risked his surname", and the boiling public sentiment outside the synagogue, Brutus's mind has also been chaotic to the top, When he stepped out of the steps of the synagogue, he saw that the square and the streets were full of rubbish, which was littered by the people after the celebration, and this sight made Brutus feel breathless, he was angry, confused, and at a loss, and he wanted to find Percia to talk to his mother, but the women were more interested in affection—although Percia would not dissuade him from doing anything, she would be heartbroken and worried to the extreme; As for the mother, her relationship with Caesar, I'm afraid that after knowing this, she will go even more crazy!

Now he was in contact with many of his comrades, and even Dehemothus, who was his own relative, had only one word to Brutus, "I was the object of Caesar's intentions, and Julius once even hinted to me that he would put my place in his will—ridiculous, and it was all his trick to deceive the world, and he relied on this to deceive women, the army, the people, and now the whole republic." Remember Marcus, you and I are children of a republican family, and we have not forgotten why our name is forever glorified, and as long as there is a lone man in the country, the Brutus must kill him! ”

Now there are more than 60 people in the same party, including not only many respected senators, but also many of Caesar's subordinates, and even including Tellureas, Dehemos, Aquila and other generals he relied on, which makes Brutus's confidence continue to strengthen, Tellureas and Dehemos have several legions each in Spain and Gaul, and Aquila has a good fleet in Sicily, as long as they start an incident, it will not be a problem to control the situation of the entire republic in a short time, and more importantly, The Senate was also a strong backer.

Unlike faith, what Brutus lacks is determination, a determination to stab the sword once and for all to those closest to him.

At this moment, there was a noise from the corner of the street, and he looked up and saw that the senator Casca was standing in front of the Twin Temples, and had a fierce dispute with a foreign citizen, who claimed that he was from Utica and owned millions of dinars, so he was qualified to serve as a representative and immigrant of Tribus, and that he was going to come to Rome immediately, and immediately let his son become a regular knight, but this guy got a little carried away, and actually ran to the Twin Temples, the traditional meeting place of the political family. was bumped into by Casca, and they quarreled without saying a word.

"Say, didn't you come here with so many copper-smelling coins just to get the fruits of glory that the Romans had previously enjoyed? Then I'll ask you what you come from! Casca spoke to the delegate with great arrogance, and behind him stood all the senators in elegant robes, each with contempt and majesty on their countenance, which frightened the hillbilly.

So he stammered to Casca that he was originally a Moorish, and that after the fall of the city of Carthage, his ancestors had come to the city of Utica to do a leather business, making shoes for soldiers and merchants.

"It turned out to be a low-class slut who spent all day in a workshop full of stench and did some low-intelligence work to fill in the gaps!" Casca looked back triumphantly, and all the senators sneered contemptuously.

"Well, I'm no longer involved in the workshop, but I can make good shoes, and the sandals on your feet aren't comfortable to wear, right? I can send you two in a moment. The shoemaker's boss said in a tone of sincerity that he was sincere. (To be continued!)
