Since the surrender of Achilles and his fleet, the number and quality of ships in Lieida's hands have become even more impressive, so he divided the fleet into three groups, one is Macmillan's "Purple Sail Fleet", which is stationed in Nicomedia, responsible for the defense of the entire Aegean Sea and the southern coast of Asia Minor; One is the joint command of Adangeis and Gable, who has gone to Cyrenaica City to prepare for the next military act of Li Pida; The last one, the Achilles fleet, which was still nominally subordinate to the kingdom of Eubernia, anchored in Sinop and monitored the entire Black Eukchen Sea.

Therefore, under the escort of Macmillan's fleet, Li Pida and his regiment requisitioned a number of civilian ships and braved the wind to come to Sepi Island without any danger. Macmillan had been fond of extravagant pomp before he was recruited, and now that the cavalry commander was on his deck, it was even more grandiose, wasn't it? As a result, the purple sails, symbolizing the king, were hoisted again, the musicians and boatmen beat the drums on the boats day and night, the oarsmen followed the trumpets, and Libida and the servants disembarked on the island in great spirits, and on the long drawbridge, Cleopatra's guard of honor was waiting for him.

Most of the soldiers of the 15th Legion were born in Nubia, and they still had great respect for the Pharaoh's family, so in front of Cleopatra's sedan chair, these black soldiers laid down their weapons and shields, and prostrated themselves in the dust under Cleopatra's feet, proud to be able to breathe the air that Pharaoh's daughter had touched.

Next to the sedan chair, two chief centurions who had escaped from Syria, Hybrida and Polo, "Do you dislike the poor treatment of Dehemoth?" Li Bida walked over. Joked.

"The Syrian province has simply disappeared from horse thieves. There is no war. There is no gunsmoke, and there is no meaning in life, and my brother heard that only here can there be a war. Highbrida burped rudely and replied.

Polo said, "As far as I am concerned, the person who promoted me was you, the commander of the cavalry, and I had no affection for Dehemoth, nor was I interested in taking up military duties under him. ”

"Good. The two winged Erinius (the messengers of vengeance in Greek mythology) have returned, and I will immediately make you the chief centurion of the 6th and 15th legions, and as soon as the arrangements are made here, we will set sail from the island of Sepi to the city of Alexandria, this time to help the beautiful lady to restore the kingdom. With that, Li Bida walked to the sedan chariot covered by the curtain, which was made by Cleopatra in advance, and it was full of movable feathers. And there is a carving of the goddess Isis in front, when the curtain is pulled open by the maids on both sides. With the pleasant sound of string plucking, Xiao Yanhou stood slim in front of Li Bida's eyes.

"You've grown so big?" These were the first words of Li Bida, and to be honest he still admitted that Cleopatra, who was now lightly powdered, was more like a woman than when he first came to Rome as a child. But on the whole, Xiao Yanhou was still wearing mourning clothes, and her expression was a little sad and said to Li Bida, or more directly, similar to coquettishness, "My father has taken the sun boat and ascended to the eternal heaven to swim in Taixu, and I myself was expelled from Alexandro City by my ill-hearted brother who colluded with the eunuch Motamenes." ”

"Isn't this a predestined drama? Your equally stupid brother and eunuch took the opportunity to tamper with the will and usurp the kingdom when my dear friend died, and poor Cleopatra was banished, and Caesar and Lypita intervened in Egypt's affairs and helped her to ascend to the throne again. Like a little sister, Li Bida held Cleopatra's soft back, and talked about the process of acting as he walked towards the fortress, like a department manager arranging company affairs.

"Not only do I want to ascend to the throne, but I also want my brother to die." Cleopatra's blue eyeliner was gently raised, and she said in a somewhat gloomy and magnetic tone.

"Then we'll have to wait for Caesar's edict, but anything can happen on the battlefield, right?" After chatting, Cleopatra asked Li Bida, who had come from afar, to take shelter and rest in the fortress of Perusim for the time being, and Li Bida also politely replied that he also hoped that the other party would be recuperated and prepare for the voyage in the future.

At this time, the weather in the desert was getting hotter and hotter, and the soldiers of the legion were sweating and working in the camp, and Hebrida, who was following the queue, grunted and slapped the giant mosquito on the back of the neck, and said, "This hellish weather, the sky looks like a woman with menstrual blood, it seems that someone may not be able to sleep tonight!" ”

"What, you're going to lure the Roman cavalry commander at night?" In the relatively small makeshift dwelling, Cleopatra's two closest hair-dressing maids, Eras and Chamion, covered their cheeks in amazement at the young hostess's bold decision.

"What's the big deal about this, remember when I went to Rome with my father to ask for help, he was just a low-ranking chamberlain officer of Curia, and now he is a cavalry commander above ten thousand people under one man, who can climb faster than him?" Cleopatra didn't care, and by the way, she twisted a lily-shaped tortoiseshell hairpin with her thin fingers and clamped it to her sideburns, so that she could naturally separate her black thread, and there was no dull atmosphere of an ordinary Egyptian noblewoman, "I heard that he has a ** relationship with Adiana in Pontus, so what?" That woman is older than me, and who doesn't like a white, pink lamb? ”

Eraas exchanged glances with Chamion, and then hurriedly clinged to Cleopatra's white skirt and pleaded, "If you wish to have a night of fun with the cavalry commander, then it is customary for us to consume each other's essence first, and this will make your bed pleasure smoother." "Actually, these two have coveted Li Bida for a long time.

"Are you saying that men hate bleeding virgins?" "It doesn't matter," said Cleopatra, "that I found a petty and mediocre court guard three years ago, and ordered him to break it for me. ”

The two maids were dumbfounded, and then they asked who each other was, but Xiao Yanhou said indifferently that she had been executed after the mission was completed, and the corpses were thrown into the crocodile pool, "The task of the two of you tonight is to lure away the guards next to the cavalry commander, understand?" ”

After hearing the heroine's command, Chamion immediately began to cry, because she had seen the inseparable guard beside Li Bida, the black skin like a leopard Alp, and she never expected that she would be asked to deal with such a person.

"So, let's start the journey of women! Neferdidi, you go with you, don't you have a relationship with the young guard officer beside him**? Empress Xiao Yan looked well-groomed, with a light smile on the corner of her mouth, and a beautiful mole of ecstasy appeared, stood up from the mirror stand, spread her hands, wrapped the sari cloak around her body, and walked towards the residence of the cavalry commander.
