Chapter 7: Anthony's Return (Part II)

In Anthony's lavish courtyard, several musicians who were sitting in the garden straightening the strings saw the body of their employer, Bai Huahua, speeding through the doorway and colonnade, while the employer's butler, Hiden, frowned, and walked forward quickly with a coarse cloth cloak in his hand, and then Anthony took his clothes to cover his shame.

"That fox friend of yours has been waiting for you for a long time." Hilden followed his master's lead, his tone full of disdain.

In the antechamber, a guy with a puffy face was rubbing his hands together excitedly, and when he saw the "Bacchus" walking in with only a blanket on his body, he immediately stood up with a flattering smile.

Anthony said a few polite words, then sat down at the long and sumptuous table, and took a few sips of the fine Greek country wine, and then asked the fellow what he was here for, and the butler Hiden immediately put his ear to his ear and said, "Maybe you have forgotten that this shameless fellow said that he was in trouble and asked for help, but I think it is right to blast him out now." ”

"How much do you need, my friend!" Anthony immediately asked the guy.

"This will cost about two hundred and fifty thousand drachmas."

"Two hundred and fifty thousand, that's a decies (a quarter of a million)! Siden, bring it to him. Anthony said nonchalantly.

Hiden shrugged his shoulders, and saw that he probably said that he would not turn his master, so he really instructed his subordinates to put out a base of gold coins, which instantly covered the entire living room, and in the light of the coins that came out, Anthony and the guy's eyes were fixed on these, and after a while, Anthony said to Hiden, "What." A decies is so little. He snapped his fingers. said something that stunned everyone present. "Double it for me and give it to this friend of mine."

"Master, you're crazy! The Roman friend of yours before gave you only a hundred tarents, and you have squandered it a long time ago, and now all the money you borrowed according to the fancy shelves of this mansion, and now you have completely donated 500,000 drachmas to a fellow whom you don't know, is it really just for the so-called fame and pride? After the guy left happily, Hiden spread his hands. Pacing back and forth in the living room, he kept complaining.

As a result, Anthony may not have heard the butler's complaints, and began to vomit heavily, when there was a violent beating sound from outside the house, which frightened Hiden's face, thinking that the creditors had come to collect the debt violently, and to know that the whole house was worth only ten tarrents, and now its owner Anthony had a debt of two hundred and fifty tarrets, and if those creditors rushed in, I was afraid that it would be completely torn apart.

So the servants of the courtyard fled back and forth in a panic. Some of them held wooden bars and began to press against the crumbling gate. And the banging over there was even more intense, and the dust fell down.

Hiden looked at the door at a loss, and then at Anthony vomiting in the antechamber, and really didn't know what to do.

"Hey, give me a hammer." Li Bida outside crossed his waist impatiently, and said to the soldiers gathered around him, over there, Hebrida was beating the unlucky guy who had just brought 500,000 drachmas out of the house with a wooden stick, the mule carts were all dismantled, and the full gold coins were sprinkled all over the ground, which made the eyes of the surrounding soldiers slanted strangely, "This bastard is a good mixer here, and he will throw out 500,000 drachmas and give them to this second-rate son at once, give me a sheep's head hammer, hurry up, hit hard!" When Li Bida saw this scene, he was angry and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to help.

At last, the door was blasted open, and the servants scattered like eight-clawed spiders, and he flicked his fingers off the dust from the mane of his helmet, and then walked in haughtily, and when he reached the antechamber, he found Anthony's cloak thrown aside, lying naked on the floor.

"Sabo, spray water in his face. Hey, Sabokimus, your legs are shaking all the time, there must have been a terrible battle last night, with that little Egyptian girl, right? Listening to Li Bida's teasing, Sabo gritted his teeth, stubbornly moved some unnatural steps, and brought a jar and poured it on Anthony's face.

The other party snorted a few times like a pig in a mud pit, Li Bida stepped forward, ready to grab his collar, and later found that this person had no collar to grab, so he twisted his shoulders and asked, "Marco. Antony, how much do you owe me Limbidaeus? ”

"I don't know how much my debt is, you'll have to ask my butler, his name is Hiden, and there."

Li Bida smacked his mouth, "I know everything you have done in this city, the god of lewd and evil plague, a good nickname." The only way you can repay my loan now is to go to Egypt as a military tribune and lay me Alexandria. ”

At this time, Anthony's rolling eyes settled down slightly, and then he laughed, hugged Li Bida's neck naked, and cheered loudly, "Honey, I've been waiting for this day for a long time!" ”

Everyone present was silent, watching Li Bida being tightly hugged by this naked man.

At the third sentry the next day, Li Bida and his party quietly took the herald, pulled Anthony, who was still drunk, with a mule cart, and walked in the direction of the city gate, and Saab Khamus wrote on the word board that day:

"I really feel some kind of shame for the Thirteenth Legion, you must know that the commander of this legion is a general named Petronius who was ousted because of greed, and the chief centurion is said to be my commander's in-laws named Hebrida, I heard that he is a veteran ruffian, and he has received much more whipping than a reward for violating discipline in the past, and the military tribune should have been six, but there will be no noble son of pure character to serve as it, so I found a man named Marco. Antony is known as an alcoholic, and it is said that he was a close friend of Curio's Broken Sleeves when he was in Rome. God, Jupiter, I wonder if this badly patchwork army will be able to go through Alexandre's city, it's worrying. ”

Before he could finish the carving, he was enveloped by two slender hands behind his back, it was Neferdidi, and when she said a quick and seductive Coptic vernacular, Sabo rolled his eyes and trembled violently, he hated whether he had just been based on some kind of hypocritical morality, but in the face of Neferdidi, he had completely turned into some shameless beast.

Just as the beast named Saab Kemus was slamming into the groaning Nephdidi, on the cold moonlit shores of the Aegean Sea, Li Bida was silent, standing in front of the camp and the campfire, looking at the vague shore, which was the direction of Ephesus, and was lost in contemplation of the divergent path of life.
