The city of Sinop was reduced to a gray city in the winter sea storm, and the Achilles fleet pulled all the ships back to the dock to escape the bad weather, and the rain and snow fell on the small hills around the city, and about four days later, the twelve legions of Li Pida came to the city, and they carried the body of Minander, claiming that if the citizens wished to settle the dispute peacefully, they could welcome the entire legion into the city, and they could give the king of the Bosporus a dignified funeral.

Subsequently, under the auspices of Achilles, all the remaining Bosphorus troops all went out of the city and surrendered to the Twelfth Legion, Achilles personally handed over the sword, tokens, and keys to the gates and warehouses and docks to the commander of the legion, General Calenus, and Sinop and other coastal cities finally returned to the hands of the Roman Republic, but more precisely, it should have returned to the hands of Adiana and Lipida.

Karenus was a loyal soldier, and after a little understanding of the situation, he agreed to the other party's request, and buried Minander, Stratonis, and Fanabisis, mother and son, in the temple cemetery of the city, and erected a stone monument on it as a memorial, but the cemetery was not the tomb of the emperor of Pontus designated by Minander during his lifetime, "because he was only a tyrant and had no right to be buried there."

In addition, Karenus demanded that the entire land on the northern shore of the Eukhchen Sea be preached, and that all the tribes should once again submit an oath of allegiance to the Republic and to His Excellency Caesar, which the sovereigns and chiefs of Sarmatia, Scythia, Colchis, Dacia, and Thrace complied, and sent the hostages to Fort Lypita in the Sea of Propentes.

The whole of Asia Minor and the Yukxing Sea. It was completely settled. And Adiana also decisively pushed Li Bida up from her bed. He interrupted the tension between the two of them, and said with a tone of determination, "You should go, we have been mad for the past two days, and I will soon gather five thousand soldiers, including a thousand cavalry, and hand them over to General Bituita, and go to the city of Ephesus to join Caesar's conquest." and offered four hundred Talents to the other party. ”

In front of the light veil, Li Bida pressed Adiana against the Persian embroidered pillow again, pressed her hands, and gently bit her bare delicate back, "Okay, okay, you really should go!" Adiana gave another order with a vague and laughing voice, "Also, merge your fleet with Achilles' fleet in Nicomedia." I'll be sent to help Caesar later, so he'll be on his way to Egypt, right? Gabinus and Marcellus are said to have left Cyprus. Flee to the city of Alexandria. ”

"This is natural, I have already laid out the situation on the Egyptian side, Caesar sent the token officer yesterday, and simply contracted me the task of pursuing Scipio, so I can stay here for a few more days." Li Bida said confidently that it seemed that he had reached the point of obsession with Adiana's body in just two days.

As a result, Adiana laughed, covered her carcass with a blanket, jumped down from the bed lightly, and directly got rid of Li Bida's entanglement, and sat on the stool in front of the dresser, and then the bronze doors of the dormitory opened from both sides, and the winter sun shone in.

Many saw the cavalry commander sitting naked on a couch, and they all consciously turned their heads away, stepped back with their hands behind their backs, and pretended to look at the domes and bonsai of the palace, and wandered around.

"What the hell is going on?" Li Bida looked at the queen who was dressed in a robe, and said with a little complaint, and then Matthia and several maids also hurried over, and put on his robe and belt for him who also got out of bed.

"I remember very well that the military order given by the cavalry commander after entering the city of Taktun was that his men were only allowed to rest for two days, and all the other centurions and soldiers were not allowed to sleep in prostitution, but only to spend the night in the camp." In front of the dresser, several valet maids began to frantically and skillfully comb the queen's hair, while the queen herself was carelessly selecting a variety of jewelry, and taunting the Roman cavalry commander, "So, now that the two-day recuperation period is over, the soldiers are probably holding their banners and waiting for their commander to lead everyone on the march towards honor and victory." ”

"It's better to invite Your Excellency the cavalry commander back to the camp, because everyone still thinks that you are in the camp, if there are lower-ranking soldiers who know that your Excellency actually stayed overnight in the queen's palace, I am afraid it will have a very bad impact on morale and military appearance!" At this time, Saab Kemus stood in front of the door, as if he was singing a duet with the queen, and shouted loudly, and only Sabo dared to have such a businesslike attitude with Li Bida in the whole army, so the cavalry commander complained indignantly, but at the same time he was busy dressing up.

As a result, Sabo repeated what he had just said loudly, which provoked the general next to him, Li Bida finally tied his blue cloak with an embarrassed face, and when he walked out of the door, he still had the idea of kissing Adiana, but the queen was surrounded by maids and eunuchs, and his officers were also in front of him, so he could only give up.

After the bronze door slowly closed, Adiana used the afterglow of the corner of her eyes to turn around, but on the back of Li Bida, she asked the people around her by the way: "The color of the cavalry commander's cloak is very peculiar, and it doesn't seem to be the favorite scarlet of the Romans." ”

"That's the royal coat of arms and colors of the Egyptian royal family." A eunuch from Cyprus rushed to reply, with a flattering and flattering face, but was immediately slapped by Adiana with a backhand, and was immediately beaten to the ground, bleeding from the corners of his mouth, I don't know why, I don't know why Her Majesty the Queen was so angry, the reaction to Adiana's face was fleeting, and then he just indifferently announced his reward, "Give this faithful and clever servant a hundred drachmas." ”

When Li Bida hurriedly left the palace and came to the camp, and gave the official order to pursue Scipio, all the soldiers set out with their luggage on their backs and singing:

"We rode horses, and the cavalry commander rode horses. His horse was the most beautiful horse in the world, with its mane combed into a beautiful bun, and the saddle was a couch embroidered with money, and he led the horse to graze in the most luxurious palaces. We rode horses, and the chief of the cavalry rode on horses - Lybidaeus was worthy of the highest rank of knights! ”

"Hey, Peternius, how did you check the military style? Tell them to shut up and stop singing, all right - everyone is still enjoying the extra allowance of fifty dinars, but shut up, singing on the march will expose the target. "In front of the right to bind the stick, the cavalry commander on the horse repeatedly asked. (To be continued......)
