"For the Romans, there were only two living people feared in their time, one was Hannibal and the other was this woman (Cleopatra)." - Dr. Tarn

"Now it's too late for you to escape! My hair-dressing maids, servants, and your guards will all think that I have a ** relationship with you, do you think Caesar will not know? Instead of chasing the wind and shadows in the rumors, it is better to be really brave and do it. With that, Cleopatra threw herself into Lipida's arms.

Who would have thought that Li Bida gently pushed Xiao Yanhou back again, "Oh my God, what a smart girl you are, are you the kind of character who is overcome by lust and reason?" You have to understand that it is not me but Caesar who is going to annex Egypt now, and I am the dictator's deputy, so of course I know how much debt Caesar had when he ran this war, and he was already red-eyed, so if you do it at all costs, we are all swimming on the edge of a dangerous cliff, and now the solution I offer is the only way to solve the problem. ”

"Isn't that so, isn't it so!" Cleopatra was in confusion, and all her dreams were shattered in front of a solid wall, "I remember that many years ago in front of the blue bay of Naples, when the city of Rome had abandoned our father and daughter, that young handsome and tall man, who was obviously only a Curia attendant, greeted the disgraced honor guard of our father and daughter, and carried a heavy burden on our country. Courageously fought against fate - that's how I used to see Lybidaeus. I thought he could do anything. That's why I willingly gave up the dignity of the royal family at night, and now that I think about it, I have made a stepping stone for the woman named Adhina, and my dreams and weaknesses have been lightly grasped by this man of Liberdaus, and my thoughts are not worth it in front of him and Adiana. Then, Empress Xiao Yan covered her mouth and sobbed, and then she looked up at the cavalry commander with a frozen expression. continued, "But the person I fell in love with for the first time is still you, but the only woman who can really be called husband and wife with you can be gentle or brutal, and casually put her arm on your shoulder, isn't it?" ”

"Yes." Li Bida didn't pause for too long, but then he said the answer very clearly, and then he suddenly said something. "Matthias, get out of the curtain!"

Matthias, who was shocked. Immediately holding a pottery urn filled with water, he rushed out from behind the curtain of the hall, and then Li Bida grabbed the child's ears like a father, and said very gloomily in front of Queen Xiaoyana, "You have been bribed by Queen Eubertenia again to spy on me, right!" ”

Matthias, frightened like a little beast, fell at the feet of Lybida, and said, "Yes, the queen is secretly uneasy, but she only says that if anything happens between you and the daughter of the pharaoh, she only wants to know, because she can't bear the torment." After speaking, Matthias put the pottery urn aside, and then took out a roll of paper from his sleeve, Li Bida took it with one hand, Cleopatra was also at a loss for this sudden situation, but she obviously saw that there was nothing on the straw paper roll, but Li Bida smiled, and soaked the paper roll into Mattia's pottery urn water, and then the handwriting slowly appeared.

The whole scroll of paper was full of Adina's chaotic thoughts and uneasiness, as if talking to himself, and after reading it for a while, Li Bida was also silent, and then he turned his back and said to Cleopatra, "Now if we have a conflict with Caesar, even if we can get rid of Caesar, for this world, only Pompey of Africa will benefit, and your brother has killed Pompey's confidant Gabinus, which is equivalent to declaring Egypt to be an enemy of Pompey, So it would be foolish to interfere with the strategy we had conceived together because of some unnecessary personal feelings. ”

"Do you have to be trapped by the personal feelings in your mouth as a woman?" Cleopatra could only hug Li Bida from behind.

"Want to know your confusion, how did I answer?"

Cleopatra didn't say a word, she wanted an answer, but she didn't want to accept the cruelty, but Li Bida still said the answer, "I love Cleopatra's dream of regaining the country, and on the other hand, I love Adiana with the dream of recovering the country, can you understand the difference between the two?" So to be as forbearant as a man is to fight, the weapons that a woman can use are indeed bed sheets, but it should not stop there, you have said that you are a great Egyptian, and if a man conquers the world, you will conquer that man to accomplish the same great cause. After speaking, Li Bida turned around, wiped the tears on Xiaoyan's cheeks, and then said clearly, "It's a pity, it's just a delusion." ”

"It's a pity, it's just a delusion," the words really shocked Cleopatra, and she herself quietly dressed herself one by one, and then said with a wry smile, "Yes, the priority is to preserve Egypt and ascend to the throne, and the country is still in danger of being on the edge of the cliff at any time." The reason why you love that queen so deeply is because even in the most down-pressed moments, she has never succumbed to slackness and desire, and she has stoic to come out step by step, isn't it? ”

"Probably so." Then, Li Bida made a very polite gesture.

After seeing Xiaoyan leave, Li Bida walked to Matthia, who was still kneeling, and sat down, sighed, and then wrote on the straw paper scroll with alum powder: "Calabis is ripe, but he is distressed that he does not know when Calabia will be able to do this", and then called Matthia to get up, and said, "Send this thing back as it is."

At this time, Nevdidi was still standing respectfully in the quarters of the cavalry commander, holding the make-up in her hand, and she had expected that the mistress would stay there for half the night or even the whole night, so she set her eyes on Alp, who also gave him a kind look, and nodded very kindly, and then continued to stand up and patrol with her sword in her hand—it seems that this black cheetah is in fact a reasonable man.

But Xiao Yanhou walked out in a sari robe about half a night, her eyes were full of complexity and confusion, she almost didn't see Neferdidi, and Nafdidi didn't know what happened in the cavalry commander's residence just now, what Li Bida did to her, and what he said. Xiao Yan didn't say any hello, but walked out of the courtyard alone and went back to the bed

When patrolling the camp the next day, Hebrida triumphantly followed behind the cavalry commander, still carrying a money bag in his hand, and sometimes Li Bida could hear him unable to hold back, and whispered to his colleagues, "Last night's garrison mission tossed my brother to exhaustion, and it was not enough to deal with one, but I didn't expect my brother to be finished and receive a reward, this is really the first time."
