Chapter 27: A New Voyage (Part II)
When the dancers with their ornaments and rings came up to the courtiers, the high priest saw very clearly that Hebrida's originally dull eyes suddenly moved twice, obviously towards the beautiful and rich dancers.
But in an instant, his eyes returned to their original positions, and he began to say something inexplicable. Li Bida saw it in his eyes, and only smiled bitterly, and then took Yulia with him, ready to leave.
At the door of the house, Li Bida held down his adopted son, who was going to go with him to Corduba, "Yulia and I, this time I gave your father-in-law some things, plus this mansion has just been completed, as a man in the family, you still have a lot of chores to take care of, in addition to gathering with your wife more, you will take your own people with you in ten days, and keep up with my fleet, and now the whole Spanish Sea is safe." ”
Seeing that his adoptive father asked for this, the little pigeon could only nod his head and agree. When he returned to the house, he found Heybrida lying on the bedframe, his daughter and wife had gone to the back to lay out the presents, and the other one kept reaching out and chirping, touching the breasts and buttocks of the dancers beside him.
"Father, what are you doing!" Fan Lunjuna couldn't help it, and stepped forward to condemn her, "You just 'used' a slave girl under the stable in the backyard yesterday, and I have already seen that you didn't actually hurt your nerves to the point of being unclear. ”
High-Brid's eyes rolled in alarm, which clearly showed that the old ruffian's sanity was not bad, and even the little pigeon was stunned, standing still, and he did not understand why this guy did this.
The old centurion sighed. Still lying on the bed frame. Beckoning to his daughter and son-in-law. When they approached, he lowered his voice and said:
"Why am I reluctant to return to the city of Rome, for it is a place of mixed right and wrong, and I have been in and out of a tent with your adoptive father, and I know all that he has done before his deed, and that the deeds of him and the princess of Pontus alone are enough for a book, and if I can repeat it, the bookseller will definitely buy it for a hundred thousand dinars. Do you still use him as a gift? So I'd rather choose to stay here in Spain and that's it. Highbrida actually said these words, which really surprised everyone, "You bastard, you fucked my daughter, you were originally just a slave cub, thanks to your adoptive father, but don't forget that you were always picked up by him from the harbor warehouse in Bithynia, don't have any unrealistic delusions." Because your adoptive father is different from the average Roman, he values another son who inherits his bloodline. So. You can become a Mauritanian envoy, that's a boundary, in the future, keep a low profile and quietly guard the frontier for your adoptive father, no matter what they call you, don't go to the city of Rome, just forget about the place where you grew up as a child. ”
This remark made the little pigeon Paruma's back tremble, and he thought for a while, and said, "I have no intention of trespassing, and I will always restrain and warn myself as a border official and a brother to Leo." ”
"And in the future, if you and Van Lunjuna have a child, most of your adoptive father and younger brother will probably come to ask him to go to Rome, it is better to agree to their request, so that you can keep your position, this is also for the good of my daughter, for my own good, if you are unlucky, I will be the first to finish." Hebrida coughed a few times, and with a reminding tone, he added the following words, and after saying that, his eyes became cloudy again, and he would hum and chirp back and forth to touch the dancing girls and rub the oil.
At this moment, under the many blue-gray and snow-white peaks of Nevada, Lybida's guards carried flags and meandered along the road, "Hey, Lybidaeus, you should abandon your horse and sit on the same shoulder with your wife, so that we are not so different." Yuria, who was holding an oxtail whisk, said to her husband who was riding a horse in front.
So Li Bida quickly got off the saddle, and according to what his wife said, he climbed on the shoulder, and the number of slaves carrying the sedan chair immediately increased by four, "I discovered a little secret just now. ”
"You mean, when I gave the slave girl, my own family's demeanor?"
"Well, his sanity should be clear."
"Of course I know this, if he is willing to pretend to be crazy and stupid, then let him go, after all, I promised the little pigeon to be the domain of Mauritania, and in the future he will have independent military and tax power in this region, and will continue to open up to the east, it is impossible to say that Leo will not have any gap with him in the future."
"Then how do you feel at ease," Yulia asked.
"It's nothing, after all, he is my adopted son, I raised him with Porty, his generation and the next generation, I don't have to worry, besides, this is also for everyone to see, if I even treat my own adopted son harshly, who else is willing to serve me loyally and die?" Li Bida patted his wife's hand lightly and said, "I am different from Caesar, my heirs are still sound and numerous, and I will carefully cultivate successors in the future, and this task will be entrusted to you whether it is your own work or not." ”
"Leo and Corinna have a share of the credit for their training." Yulia replied plainly, but proudly.
At this moment, from the other side of the road, several herald cavalrymen with brass pipes of secret letters hastened to the front of the guards, and the Medetier men with short spears in their hands held their pace, and then Arp walked briskly up and took the brass pipes, "Where did you come from?" ”
"Liliba of Sicily."
"Show me it." Li Bida said, so he hurriedly took it, unfolded the paper scroll and looked at it, and laughed, "Yulia, Yulia!" The moment of the showdown is coming, and in the gladiatorial arena of the political zhì, Turinus is about to end completely. ”
Yulia also leaned over to take a look, "In this case, how should you lay it out?" You're going to expel the Turinus kid? ”
"Yes." Li Bida then restrained his smile and slowly put away the paper roll, "Yulia, I'll ask the reaction of the Turinus kid right away. ”
"How?"
"If he angrily rebelled against me with the seven legions stationed in Greece, I would have spared him after defeating him, and I could marry Corinna to him."
"What if not?"
"Yes, if he hastily came to the city of Rome to apologize to me, and offered to marry my daughter." A cold light flashed out of the corner of Li Bida's eyes, "That means that Turinus is too dangerous, and I will personally end his political life, if necessary." After speaking, Li Bida made a very terrifying gesture.
"So what should Corinna do?" Yulia is more concerned about her role as a mother at this time, even if Corinna is not her own, but she and Potty have the same love for their children. (To be continued......)
