Chapter 20: Curio's Greetings (Part II)

"Then please take a good look at my appearance, Your Excellency Caesar!" Curio suddenly sneered and made this strange request loudly. With that, he moved his chair forward a few steps so that Young Caesar could look more closely.

And the young Caesar instinctively leaned back, Curio seemed to have expected his reaction, laughed, and pointed to the scar on his face, "I was also the same as Caesar, the leader of the entire golden youth fashion in the city of Rome, debauchery, melancholy, beautiful, thin, these are the adjectives that people often put on me, at that time, both men and women, as long as they love faces, will bow down to me, I only have one frustration in love, That's because I lost to the great powers, and after that time I realized that men without power are useless, but then I realized that after losing the beauty of my face, my pain and loss were even greater. ”

"So, what exactly are you trying to say?" Young Caesar thought this was really strange.

"What I want to say is that there will always be things in this world that are lost and cannot be recovered, young Lord Caesar, you must not fall to the point of mine." Curio laughed heartily, his face even more hideous and ugly, and then he turned around and sat down, "But now that you are approaching this dangerous abyss, do you really think that the Lybida father and son will treat you kindly, let you take over the position of second consul, and continue to lead the Julius family to strength in the future?" ”

"That's nature, I'm Caesar's successor, the benchmark banner of all Caesars."

"Don't be stupid. That was when Caesar had just died. All of them. Except for Anthony's idiot, especially a scheming character like Li Bida will obey your banner and worship you on the surface. But what is left of the Caesar Party now? The one who died of the purge died of the purge, and the one who took refuge in Aemilius went to Amilius, a terminally ill tree, which had long since fallen in the storm of the times, and with this change. You have become an obstacle to the progress of Li Pida, he may not kill you in a grand manner, but he will trap you coldly behind his back, and trick you into returning to Rome, as evidenced by it, but unfortunately you are still so so-so, and you come back. Curio sighed, "You don't have to argue anymore, the city of Rome is a huge trap now, and the best situation for you in the first place is to continue to sit in Epirus." With seven legions in hand, he fought against Li Bida. In that case, he would not dare to break the balance of power for the time being, because several of Antony's legions were still eyeing the southern Gauls, which made him a little jealous. ”

"Well, according to what you said, I've fallen into the trap now." Young Caesar also humorously made a gesture to fall, and then asked Curio "the solution".

But Curio replied very strictly, he stretched out five fingers, "You have a chance to turn over now, there are still five days left." ”

Hearing this, young Caesar couldn't stand it any longer, he looked at Curio's ugly face and serious expression, and felt that he was watching a farce, and laughed, but then he thought that it was disrespectful to the guest, so he could only continue to quiet down and ask Curio to give a reason.

"The reason why I say five days is because now is the best time to eradicate Lybida - some of the legions under his umbrella are stationed in Fort Lybida and the region of Asia Minor, and a few are said to have remained in Spain, and he only brought one of the six legions to the city of Rome, not to mention that all the brigades of the six legions are stationed at Pasini, and there is only one Medejie guard that Libida really brings. As for the vast majority of the main army of Lipida, it took the landing route, delayed many schedules, and was still in the province of Nepo Gaul, and had not yet entered Liguria. ”

Young Caesar's face began to change slightly, and only then did he realize that Curio was not joking, but really planning something, "You go on." ”

Below, Curio's expression was visibly more and more agitated, and he gestured with his hand, "Lybita is a man who overly believes in his cunning skills, and he also has flaws to be found - his main force is marching by land, and there is no fleet to cooperate, and most of those fleets are left in the Balearic and Sardinia, so it is impossible for them to reach Italy in a hurry--At this time, young Caesar, as long as you nod, I will hurry back to Moutina to persuade Marco that he only needs to send one legion, at most two, You can kill Li Bida's father and son, and his henchmen. At the same time, the rest of Mark's legions will reach the main force of Lypida outside the Ligurian Gorge, and your seven legions on the other side will hurry to Rome to take charge of the whole situation, so that we will achieve the most perfect and most insignificant victory. As long as Li Bida's father and son die, his legions will be leaderless and will soon disperse as birds and beasts, and you will be able to understand the meaning of my words. But opportunity does not wait for anyone, so I calculated, there are only five days left, and in five days, when Lypida's nearly ten legions cross Liguria, and Marco does not get your promise to do nothing, then. With that, Curio made a death gesture, "The infamous dungeon of the city of Rome will be our home, and the place of death." ”

At this moment, the original unstrict expression on the face of the young Caesar disappeared, "Are you trying to tell me that you have pinned your hopes on you, and you still have to spend time going to Shannan Gaul to lobby Antony?" You're fooling me, Curio. ”

"No, all my words are very strict, and now the key to the whole situation is you. Remember the island you joined? There you are like a poor child, fooled and teased by your guardian, and you should have understood at that moment how painful it is to snort at the snort, and if you still consider yourself a descendant of the House of Julius, then Caesar, I will stay in a small inn by the gates, and I will leave you the address of the other place at once. Remember, five days, no, full of all, there are only two days left, because the journey and lobbying will take time, and I am waiting for your reply. Curio smiled meaningfully again, placed the inscription on the table, put on his cloak, coughed and removed the glass lamp hanging on the wall, and staggered away from the side door of the house.

"He's like a weird and ugly prophet in Tuscany, how the hell am I supposed to be, whether to be a brave man who controls his destiny or a fool who believes in rumors, is there a difference between the two things now?" The young Caesar who stayed was mixed.

At this moment, Phillips and Meceenas came up and said, "The High Priest has an invitation to a banquet for you to-morrow night." (To be continued......)
