Just as the butler's servant shook his head and moved out of the title deed box, Anthony turned his finger happily under the lamplight, and then Domuwai, who was next to him, smiled and brought him fresh and delicious plums, "Curio, have you invited my guest?" ”

"Of course, it's all going according to plan." Curio smiled and said, "You must know that we are also fighting on two fronts, and I will not be foolish enough to trust the Senate, I heard that that young Caesar is the flag that Cicero pulled from the city of Rubii in order to contain us." ”

At this moment, from the shadow of the porch, a young man appeared, who was actually Eulabella, "Cavalry commander, I hope you will be happy in the garden of Caesar's dwelling, and enjoy the well-being that should have been distributed to his heirs and the people. It seems that he is Anthony's "guest".

"You should not say these things in this secret meeting, but in the Senate, so that everyone thinks that we are still the best relationship." Anthony didn't care, quipping.

Curio next to him, standing in the corner where the third party was, was also smiling and silent.

"It's a joke, aren't we in a hostile relationship? After all, don't you just want to take advantage of the network of voters I had in Rome when I was the tribune and administrator? ”

"That's right, you and Marco, it's unrealistic to expect the Senate, if you let the Senate do whatever it wants, Anthony will be liquidated because of the previous position of Caesar's party, and you Yourabella will be liquidated because of your close style to the commoners, sooner or later, plus you are too young, the previous acting consul was promoted by Caesar. If you snort under the Senate. That's hard to say. Who wants to fall from the previous first-class person to the second-rate and third-rate? Curio got up and began to lobby, "So, now is the time to take the time to open up the resumptionary campaign, and to take the Senate by surprise, you first inform the Guò Tebrismin to seek the province of Syria, and Antony will pretend to stop you with all his might." Continue to trick the specially chosen fathers into supporting your election, but then you go to the province of Syria. ”

"But it is known that the Senate wanted to give to Cassiillo that province, and also the three legions that Caesar had left in Egypt." Ulabella was clearly not confident enough in this plan.

"So what, all you have to do is get Syria, and we can guarantee that you can get it, if you can combine the power of the people with Mark's legions. Now the Senate had lost the prestige and power it had granted to legions and provinces as they pleased. Since Caesar's death, their status in the state and in the people has plummeted – shielding the killers of the dictator. Is there anything worse than that? Subsequently, Marco. Antony will take advantage of this gap to seek the province of Macedonia! ”

"Seeking to take the province of Macedonia?"

When Eurabella said this in surprise, Anthony, who was sitting across from her, smiled shyly and proudly, with a kind of "I hate it, you've found out."

"That's right, Marco needs more legions, Li Bida's original elite legions are concentrated in that province, as long as Marco wins the command of the province, it will be convenient below." Curio explained.

"Wow, wait, isn't it now that the Senate has issued an edict declaring peace with the kingdom of Dacia, and at the same time there is no reason for the province of Macedonia to have six legions to send them to Parthia?" Eurabella was thrilled, as if her legion had been usurped.

Curio and Anthony laughed together, and then Anthony walked up to him, handed him a drink, and said, "I don't look down on Your Excellency, but how can you afford to command Lypida's army?" I'm afraid you'll be killed by a mutiny. ”

"Why didn't you know it wasn't yours?" Yurabella also sneered back.

"It's simple - I need time, I'll first give Caesar's legacy to these legions to buy hearts, and then I'll declare revenge for Caesar, as long as I use this name, if not all, at least three or four legions will belong to me, don't ask why? Li Bida's whereabouts are unknown now, on the one hand, the Senate can't find him, but on the other hand, he doesn't dare to show up rashly, so the soldier's only choice is me, who once served as his lieutenant general. Anthony, I am also the founder of this army, and my shares are mine, and this advantage is undoubtedly highlighted when compared with you. "Anthony is confident.

Eurabella didn't want to have more verbal disputes with him, so he raised his hand and said yes, what I was trying to do was the province of Syria, and I thought this deal could be fulfilled, and then he stared at Anthony, "If you want to avenge Caesar, then you have to take practical action, because those big-headed soldiers are not easy to fool, you will declare the entire city of Rome a public enemy, and carry out a big beheading, isn't it." ”

"I'm not that cruel, Yurabela. I guarantee that this will not happen. Anthony said with a smile.

"Can you guarantee that you won't be slaughtered?"

"No, I can only promise that I won't slaughter casually." Anthony's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

"It doesn't scare me, Anthony. You can't win 'em all. After saying that, Eurabella smiled disappretently, "Sometimes, ambition is such a sweet thing, it makes life full of all kinds of unexpected pleasures. In this city, and in this country, everybody wants to be a dice thrower. Then he bowed and took his leave.

Time flew by, and a few days later, in the drizzle, while campaign stands were being set up all over the Roman Forum, Octavian and Leo, and the rest of the people, were also in the square to make a speech to everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am the new Caesar. ”

"Where's your adoptive paperwork? Brat. You know, there was a guy who pretended to be Marius's grandson, and his head hung on the pillars of the square. There was a mocking sound from the crowd, apparently sent by the adversary to stir up the situation, and in the midst of laughter and scolding, Octavian was unhurried, "Please do not question me with my identity, my family has a natural and close connection with the family of Julius, as any of Caesar's relatives who are still alive can attest." In addition, I have adoption papers with me, and I have the support of many veterans of my adoptive father's life, and after this speech, I will go to the Grand Court and apply to this year's Grand Counsel to officially sign and seal the papers. ”

"Stinky boy, don't get too carried away!" The people who were hired to stir up the situation provoked one after another in all directions, "This is a place for adults to come, not a place for you to play walnut games, go back and suck your mother's nipples, or you can be a teacher, men's nipples are just a little salty, which can make you more knowledgeable." And then there was weird laughter. (To be continued......)
