Chapter 20: Chase (I)

"DO, UTDES (I'M GIVING IT TO YOU FOR YOU TO GIVE ME)." The ancient Romans' view of the covenant with God

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Yes, I can roughly guess what you want." Caesar couldn't help but laugh.

"That's right, I want all my former subordinates, Milou, Tagus, Pope, and Little Hortensius, no matter which legion they are serving in now and what position they hold, all of them will come to the Illyrian XII Legion in Milan and accept my leadership, because I lack a backbone."

"The Thyme Legion you left in Lusitania before, isn't there still more than a thousand people, enough to be the backbone." Caesar dragged on the latter sentence for a long time.

"No, they are all newly recruited freed slaves in Sardinia, and the service period is only a few years, and I need old and qualified officers. With your consent, I will return to the city of Rome at once, without a meal, and will not only help you drive Cicero out of the city, but also take Cato with you. ”

Caesar smacked his lips and said yes, do you need me to swear solemnly in front of the statue of Venus?

Li Bida said no, then I'll go back now, and after saying that, he swallowed the dried figs, and with some thoughts, waved his hands and greeted the others, and rode alone in the opposite direction of the queue.

Li Bida, who entered the city, came to Claudius's residence by himself, and took out the edict that Caesar had signed before he stepped down as consul, and Claudius took it and looked at it, and whispered Why is this thing still taken out, and besides, didn't you follow Caesar to Gaul before? Saying that. Claudia, the former mother, came out with a red face. greeted the dusty Li Bida. But Li Bida obviously didn't have much mood to talk to her now, but pulled Claudius and said: "Your Excellency the Consul has long expected that Cicero will go back on his word, so he signed the bill you proposed in the civil assembly in advance, and wait for it to be taken out now - Cicero is full of thought that Caesar has come and found Pompey as a backer, and you can't help him." ”

Claudius frowned and looked at the courtyard wall next door, he and Cicero had always been neighbors. Even if the Ciceros couple had turned their faces many times before, they didn't move away, because they really loved this house too much, but when it came to Pompey, Claudius was still a little hesitant, "Now Caesar is indeed gone, and many people in the city are all Pompey's cronies, and now it is a little tricky to drive Cicero away." ”

As a result, before Li Bida could say anything, her sister was sarcastic and agitated first, "Brother, I really misjudged you, haven't you seen the power of the people during this time." Yes, that's what Liberdaus said earlier. The power of the people is really majestic and amazing. As long as you want to move Principia, shout two slogans casually, and thousands of people will be willing to destroy even the court for you. What is that Pompey, do you want to know that he won the power of conquest back then, and it was not because he won the favor of the people? After speaking, Claudia stepped forward and tilted her head, caressing her younger brother's handsome face in front of Li Bida, of course, because of the experience of the past two years, she became mature, and further encouraged, "You will also be the one who will be an archon in the future, remember that this is the fate of our family, the Claudius family has had nine consuls in succession in the previous years, do it boldly, listen to Li Bidaus's plans and suggestions, he is a person who can help you rise to the top, didn't he help Caesar pay off his debts before and walk alone in the political arena?" Listen, you're standing now, don't always be a little goat with a bell hanging next to your sister. ”

After hearing his sister's words, Claudius's chest immediately filled with infinite anger and courage, his eyes burned, and he also pecked his sister's with his lips in front of Li Bida, so immediately Li Bida and some personal servants in the family for a while, with a little embarrassment watched the sister and brother both stick out their tongues, sucking and biting each other with jin liquid, this is probably the special way for this family to express family affection, and now it can only be understood in this way.

After expressing his affection, Claudius was full of pride and promised Li Bida that he would immediately reiterate this resolution in the National Assembly, and took out the signed edict of the previous consul, "Ciceen Rome is finished!" ”

Claudius was a figure who did it quickly once she had made up her mind, and sure enough, the next day, when she was staying in Claudius's courtyard, heard the shouts of the crowds from the Grand Square and the Grand Circuit, and Claudia was surprised to send a famous maid out of the house, and soon the maid came back with the same surprise on her face:

The people were instantly organized under the mobilization of Claudius's masters, especially those who had admired Catiline, who voluntarily and without compensation acted as guides and agitators, and there were four or five thousand of them, holding up documents signed jointly by the former consul and the tribune, claiming that Cicero was the murderer of citizens without trial, and that he must be tried by the hundreds, or the tribune, and now the procession was raging, and it was almost at the foot of the Palatine Hill, and many people were joining along the way.

When the former mistress sat on the couch beside her with a smug look and looked at herself, Li Bida also responded with the same satisfactory gesture, saying that she would immediately invite the mistress to watch Cicero's performance, but Claudia's eyes became even hotter, and she said quietly: "Do you want to know why I have a grudge with Cicero?" What a ridiculous, sad and shameful thing that ugly man with a scar on his nose actually wrote to me privately when he became consul, asking me to be his lover. After speaking, Claudia deliberately exposed half of her round plump and white arm, gently put it on Li Bida's feet, and gently pinched it, Aya

"But how could I fall in love with that kind of man, Libidaeus, no, you will always be the Calabis in my eyes, that clever, human-sensible, and manly little hero. It is rumored in the city of Rome that I am a woman who casually climbs into the bed with people, but I am not like this, you have been by my side for so many years, you should know me, indeed I may be casual a few times, but I still admire a handsome and handsome man in my heart, he must be as perfect as a sculpture. As she spoke, the hand of the former housemother came up and drove directly to the key parts of Li Bida, "Yes, that's right, I don't want to be your brother's replacement." "Li Bida knew that it was the most troublesome to get into trouble with this woman in the city of Rome, and he did introduce Claudia before, to whom? Caesar, of course.

But after Caesar heard about Claudia's name, he just used silence to represent refusal, although Caesar has always been inseparable from women for half of his life, but he also knows that those women can maintain a lover relationship for a long time, such as Seville, and some women will only drag down their reputation, just like this Claudia.

A woman who distinguishes between inside and outside will always be more popular than a woman who has a bad reputation.

But now this Claudia, the role of the former housemother, is not only on her arms, but also on her chest! (To be continued......)
