- Plato (one of the greatest philosophers and thinkers of Western culture)

By the time Oscar led his army into Syracuse, all the houses on the left and right sides of the road had closed their doors; After all, the sound of the horn just now was the first time that the ancient city of Syra had been attacked by someone else in recent decades.

Although the citizens of the ancient city of Syrac were unaware of the severity of the trumpet, they had heard a little about the recent situation in Sicily; The decisive battle between the Augustan family of Rome and Hannibal was also the talk of the citizens of Syracuse after dinner.

The sudden appearance of an army outside the ancient city of Syra at such a particular time is in itself extremely frightening; Coupled with the hurried behavior of the nobles in the city, the hearts of the citizens are even more bottomless.

Therefore, when the gates of Syracuse were opened, as soon as the cavalry of the Augustus family entered the ancient city of Syracuse, the citizens of the ancient city of Syracuse closed their doors one after another, hid in the windows and quietly watched the movement on the street.

Of course, these are genuine ordinary citizens; For those aristocratic and wealthy merchant families, with the guarantee of the Augustan family, their hearts are still relatively steady. Life and wealth are significantly more important than losing their original privileges.

However, there are people who are more exceptional; For example, a businessman who is still wandering the streets. Judging by his appearance, the merchant must have been a typical Greek; Judging from his clothes, he is just a small asset, and he is definitely not rich and expensive.

However, his greatest characteristic is the kind of breezy temperament in him, as if everything that happens around him has nothing to do with him; He didn't care that the people on the street had already dispersed, and he still walked on the street by himself.

When Oscar and Mary rode together to the Archon's mansion, they found this unusual fellow on the way; When Nusis noticed that someone was in the way in front of him, he immediately led ten guards to try to persuade him to leave.

This time, the Augustan family was able to peacefully annex the ancient city-state of Syrac, which can be regarded as a product of the threat of force; Therefore, Oscar is still reluctant to use force in the ancient city of Syracuse, and he needs the Augustus family to leave a good impression on everyone in the ancient city of Syracuse, so as to help the Augustan family to rule Syracuse steadily.

Nussis, as the commander of the guards who has always been by Oscar's side, naturally he will not be unaware of Oscar's thoughts; In order to prevent his guards from acting roughly, he deliberately stepped forward to persuade this strange guy to leave.

In fact, Oscar didn't think of the person in front of him as a big man; After all, there will be some mavericks everywhere, and Oscar doesn't think that the person in front of him is anything extraordinary because of this.

In addition, Oscar has more important business to attend to, and he doesn't want to waste too much time here; This is also the key to his acquiescence to Nusis personally leading people to expel the person in front of him.

However, the development of things is not always subject to human will; Neither Oscar nor Nusis thought that the maverick guy in front of him had a good temper and understood a lot.

When Nusis and his guards came forward to persuade him, the little merchant only glanced at Nusis and his guards with contempt, and then turned and shouted to Oscar, who was on his horse:

"Could it be that these overbearing soldiers are the soldiers of the Augustan family who are the so-called teachers of benevolence and righteousness? Your Excellency, your family does not seem to be as civilized as it is rumored; Is the rumor wrong? Or are you teaching in no way? ”

As soon as these words came out, Nusis, who was ready to persuade him, pulled out the short sword at his waist on the spot and drove it to the merchant's neck, and directly ordered the guards to drag him aside and watch it!

Compared with Nuss's extreme approach, Oscar's heart was extremely shocked; You must know that Oscar has never revealed his identity from beginning to end, and even Dionicios, who has just surrendered, does not know his identity, how does this unattractive small businessman in front of him know his identity?

Shocked, Oscar turned his gaze to Mary, who also shook her head in confusion, saying that she had no idea about it; Just as Oscar and Mary were wondering, the merchant who had been dragged aside struggled and cursed in a loud voice:

"Oscar, is this how you Augustus do things? On the surface, under the guise of a corporal of etiquette and a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, in fact, he is doing some things that oppress the people and are tyrannical; You hypocritical and filthy families are really all raccoon dogs! ”

On the street, which was originally quiet, with this guy's tossing, countless citizens who hid in their houses quietly stuck their heads out of the window, wanting to see how the Augustus family dealt with this sudden change.

After Oscar noticed that more and more heads were sticking out from the windows of houses on both sides of the street, he understood the confidence of this person who dared to scold him in front of him; He has managed to attract everyone's attention, and as long as the Augustus family wants to keep their family's reputation, they will not be able to do anything to him, but will protect his safety.

This person can have such a city government and plan, and his plans are definitely not small, and it is impossible to simply jump out and toss like this; Such a person, no matter what his purpose is, cannot deny his own talent and ability, he is certainly not an ordinary person!

Thinking of this, Oscar did not continue to stay on the warhorse, but jumped directly from the warhorse and walked straight to the small merchant who was still struggling; Oscar waved for the guards to let go of the merchant first.

Nusis wanted to say something, but Oscar stopped him from saying anything; After the two guards let go of the merchant, Oscar personally smoothed his clothes that had been messed up by the struggle, and then smiled and comforted him:

"It's true that our Augustus family did too much just now, but it's all because my orders are not clearly communicated, and it has nothing to do with these guards; I would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused.

If you still have a grievance, just say it; As long as we Augustus can do it, we will definitely not refuse! It's just that I still don't know something, and I hope you can solve my doubts. ”

Oscar's move was purely for the onlookers to see the citizens of Syracuse, in order to create his own image as a corporal of courtesy, and more importantly, to create a righteous image of the Augustan family; As for whether the businessman buys it or not, Oscar naturally knows it.

As expected, after Oscar said this, the businessman did not continue to toss anything, but changed his previous vexatiousness, and replied with a faint elegance:

"Your Excellency Oscar should have more than one doubt, right? You must be wondering why I know your identity, why did I stay here to wait for your arrival, what exactly is my identity, right? ”

Oscar is not surprised at all that someone who has other intentions before can say such a point-to-the-point remark; So, Oscar didn't refute, just gave him an undeniable look.

This time, he didn't do anything else, just looked into Oscar's eyes and said calmly:

"Your Excellency Oscar wants to know this, and I can't tell the truth; It's just that there are some things that can only be said by the two of us, and no one else can know, which is a necessary principle for me to tell the truth, and I hope Your Excellency Oscar will forgive me! ”

In the face of this guy's bargaining, Oscar not only did not refuse, but directly ordered Nusis behind him:

"Nuss, you and your guards immediately go to a place twenty paces away to stand on guard, and no one is allowed to approach!"

It is unacceptable for Nusis that His Excellency should be alone with this fellow of unknown origin; If this guy had a bad plan, the consequences would be unimaginable, and Nusis wanted to refuse on the spot.

However, Oscar didn't give Nusis a chance to refuse; After giving the order, Oscar looked back at Nusis deeply. Of course, Nusis knew that Oscar disliked generals who didn't listen to orders, and he had no choice but to accept orders.

After Nusis had walked twenty paces with the guards, Oscar turned his gaze to the merchant again, signaling that he was the two of them, and that he could tell the truth.

Oscar's gaze did not allow the merchant to speak, he just put his right hand into his bosom, as if to take something out; Seeing this scene in front of him, Oscar's eyelids twitched, but he still didn't do anything.

Eventually, the guy pulled out a quaint gold coin from his bosom, and the moment he saw it, Oscar understood what the real identity of this person was; It seems that this guy is not a peaceful guy either!

Of course, the sudden realization in Oscar's eyes couldn't hide the businessman who had been looking at him, so after Oscar showed this look, he knelt down on one knee on the spot and reported to himself:

"Nat, the head of business of the Ulles family and the Gabriel family, has met His Excellency Oscar Leader! From now on, Nat will be a member of the House of Augustus, swearing allegiance to the House of Augustus and His Excellency the Leader of the Oscars! ”

Nat?! I didn't expect that the person in charge of the business left by the Ulles family and the Gabriel family for the Augustus family turned out to be the famous merchant god Nath! This is really a surprise, and the financial situation of the Augustan family will really not have to worry about it in the future! (To be continued.) )
