Chapter 166: Believers and Messengers
"Wait, Philip!" The woman hurriedly stopped him, her gaze wandering like the bright moonlight, seeking the support of the man beside her.
"Alright, Philip, stop and hear what he has to say!" Philip seemed to obey the king's orders, and when he said this, he took a step back and returned to his original expression.
"How do you know my name, my past life?" Cleopatra trotted all the way down the stone steps, faster and faster than before.
"Oh, slow down, concubine, fall again!" The male king frowned, stood up, and looked very nervous.
"Not only do I know your name, your past and present life, but I also know the one who is high, His Royal Highness Mark Anthony, how good are you?" Zhou Yu gave a monkey salute symbolically. What is Monkey Etiquette? is the kind of action that Monkey King often makes in Journey to the West.
"Hahaha, it is really bold for a nameless person to dare to call this king by his name. But if you have some knowledge, this king will listen to your story. ”
My story, my story, how can you and Cleopatra's story be as energetic? You are a love triangle plus the murder of the king and the usurpation of the throne, and the king Yan Shi plus a maid Dove. Zhou Yu cursed in his heart, and then patiently pondered how to open this mouth. What he was going to say next must be to say something surprising and in one sentence, conquering Antony and Cleopatra in the shortest possible words.
"Commander Antony, Julius Caesar has asked me to bring you a good one!" Zhou Yu said unhurriedly.
In a word, Anthony was like being struck by lightning, although he used enough strength to hold his breath, Zhou Yu was still keenly aware that his eyes were involuntarily blurred for a moment, and his hands and feet trembled violently a few times.
"Y-What do you say? You repeat! Anthony stood up abruptly, stretched out his right hand and pointed at Zhou Yu and asked.
"I said Caesar, let me say hello!"
One word at a time, to the point. This time Antony heard clearly, even Cleopatra really heard that the outcasts in the audience were indeed saying "Caesar".
"You're talking about Kay...
"That's right, Gaius Julius Caesar!" Serious illness requires strong medicine, since Lord Anthony wants the answer, let's give him a good time, and never drag the mud and water.
"Y-Where are you from?" Anthony sat on a stone pedestal, his eyes staring straight into the distance, as if he was out of his body.
Cleopatra knew what he was thinking, and hurriedly leaned over to support him, kneading and patting him repeatedly.
"Where you came from, you came from below. I don't know, how is your journey to the black hole going? Roar, the small ones are rare and weird, look at this posture you mix well! The small one is not so good-fated, sleeping in the open, losing his family, and dragging a lame leg. is also a family of two people living under the same roof, why is the gap so big? ”
Antony couldn't listen to a word at the moment, no matter whether the Governor was joking or deserting, all he cared about was Caesar's news.
"Caesar, oh no, where are the others of the Emperor?" Anthony grabbed Cleopatra's leaf and slowly placed it on his side.
Step by step, Anthony stepped down from the altar, his eyes blazing like torches, and the two beams of fire made the governor's face hot.
"Don't look at me like that, Commander, the little ones aren't good!"
Of course, Anthony didn't know what he meant, and he himself was not as good as Long Yang. It's just that this person shouted Caesar's name with one mouth, and he didn't use honorifics, so that people really couldn't guess his relationship with Julius Caesar.
"Where are the Emperors?" Anthony walked up to Zhou Yu, grabbed his left and right shoulders with both hands, and clenched them hard. Zhou Yu looked at Anthony, who was old but full of dignity, and it was really hard to open his mouth and continue to make up nonsense, but this old guy was a little ruthless, and he pinched himself so painfully.
"Don't, sir, let it go. Let's let go first, shall we? All civilized people! "The Governor came up with the same phrase as a scoundrel with a ruffian.
A closer look at Anthony reveals that he does not look like a handsome and decisive killer, but a little bookish. Although it was customary to wear the thick beard and medium-length curls of the ancient Romans, the face was cleanly manicured and the clothing was spotlessly groomed.
"Are you really a believer in Caesar?" Anthony looked at Zhou Yu incredulously with tears in his eyes. This move made most of the governors uncomfortable, if they have something to say, what do they do to sensationalize at every turn? And the top 10 people of the year who moved the borderlands are not selected. But when it comes to this kind of selection, does it rely on real talent, real materials, and real feelings? It's all about going through the back door, looking for relationships, and it's all settled. What the? You say you believe the media reports? The media didn't even admit what they did yesterday, and they backtracked and betrayed their accounts, do you still believe them?
"I'm not his believer, you are. I'm his friend. Zhou Yu said calmly, reaching out and patting his wrinkled shirt after being grabbed by Anthony. At this time, Cleopatra had already moved from the stone platform to the front of her, staring at her with surprised eyes.
Oops, this woman is poisonous. Zhou Yu glanced at her, quickly looked away, and went elsewhere. You can go anywhere, don't have anything to do with her anyway, as long as your eyes stay on her, you will have a suffocating feeling of suffocating a boulder in your chest. Some women are beautiful and fresh; Some women are beautiful and delicate, but the beauty of Cleopatra is the beauty of the soul.
It is worthy of being the first beauty of human beings. If the world is very beautiful, nine points are in Jerusalem; If there is a very beautiful human being, nine points belong to Cleopatra. Thinking of this, Zhou Yu felt that such an evaluation was a bit excessive, and it should be limited to the women he had seen.
Antony was one of Caesar's most loyal followers, and although the two had a great conflict when Caesar marched south to North Africa and Antony ruled the Apennine Peninsula on his behalf, Antony chose to continue to follow the king after two years of mutual disengagement and demotion to the rank of concubine. In historical records, Anthony was an excellent cavalry commander, but he was not a good piece of material when it came to governing the country.
But at the same time, Antony was also selfish, and when Caesar was assassinated by the elders of the House of Elders in a despicable manner, he chose to flee and remain silent, and when he returned to Rome, he even negotiated with the kingkillers, all of which cast a heavy shadow over his glorious career as a horseman. Zhou Yu now understands a little why he chose to live with Cleopatra, and even died of martyrdom, perhaps because his chest was always eroded by a wave of regret and he couldn't sleep peacefully.
"Are the Emperors okay?" Anthony also seemed to feel a little out of shape, smiled wryly, took a deep breath and asked.
"Good, better than you and me. He's not here, oh yes, he asked me to tell you a word. ”
"What?" Anthony's eyes lit up.
"He said forgive you, if one day I can ride a horse with you, I hope the mountains are high and the clouds are light, and the years are quiet!"
"The mountains are high and the clouds are light, and the years are quiet. . ." Anthony finally couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes, and two lines of old tears rushed down, a good old tearful and wounded relative. Cleopatra, who knew his thoughts, hurriedly supported him and cried beside him. From time to time, he glared at Zhou Yu with disgusted eyes, as if to say: I know that he can't let go of so much in his heart, and he is so straightforward, what is it to earn him tears from time to time?
It is the nature and exclusive privilege of women to shed tears, but the tears of men are all shed for stories and legends. Zhou Yu didn't know how much love and hatred were intertwined between Mark Anthony and Caesar, and what he knew was entirely from historical records and film and television. However, the air will not come to the wind, the flat ground can also pick the cake, and the killing and being killed, trust and betrayal, and trusting and abandoning between men are not the index of the chronicles of human society for tens of thousands of years?
"Alright, Commander. Now that the words have been brought, then brother, I will take my leave. I wish you and the queen a long time to dominate the rivers and lakes! After speaking, Zhou Yu casually arched his hand, turned around and left.
"Wait, please stay!" Anthony, who was standing still, saw that the messenger was leaving, and quickly stopped him.
"The messenger has been told that he has been so far away that if you are allowed to leave, how will Anthony explain to the world? It's also a matter of no courtesy, right? ”
"Oh? Did the Commander try to invite me to dinner? Don't be so troublesome, just have a full banquet at will. By the way, when you do SPA for a while, find two technicians with good skills. Zhou Yu hurriedly stood on his feet and said with a smile on his face. Anthony scratched his head embarrassedly, a person like him was not afraid of dealing with a real enemy, he was afraid of dealing with a shameless market hooligan.
Hey, this is Zhou Yu's advantage, his characteristics are that he can bend and stretch, black and white, if you want face, I can give you face, if you want a story, I will tell you a story, the most unfortunate thing is that you don't want anything, you always want sycophants, right? Stretching out his hand and not hitting people with smiling faces, seeing people talking about people, and talking about ghosts, most of the governors have been exposed to it since childhood, and they have accumulated over time after going to work. The skills that have been learned by carrying countless pots and stepping on 10,000 feet are worthy of their scars if they are not carried forward on such a good test field as Borderlands.
"Yes, Mark. The road is cold, and it is inconvenient for the messenger to send messages back and forth with a child, so it is not too late to take a break and make plans. Cleopatra also persuaded.
"Philip, make arrangements for the messenger to rest for a while. Inform the people to prepare, and I will set up a banquet for the two of you to receive the wind and wash the dust for you. First beckoned to Philip, and then Anthony patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder.
"Oops, big brother. Can we light it up? Zhou Yu frowned, and he was accidentally slapped by his bear paw, and there was a needle sting pain in his foot.
"Is the messenger wounded?" Anthony looked surprised.
Isn't this nonsense, didn't you just watch me limp in? Zhou Yu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, he just didn't have such a long beard, otherwise he would have to tie a knot and strangle the old immortal in front of him.
People who have been walking in the palace for a long time are easy to talk about this kind of scene, and Anthony is no exception. The Governor knew that arguing with them was tantamount to playing the harp to the cow, and he had no choice but to digest it himself, pretending not to hear what he said.
"Come on, bring the messenger down to take medicine, and deal with it." Cleopatra shouted in a silver bell-like voice. Within a few seconds, five or six adult women ran out from behind the stone platform, all dressed as subordinates, all with black marks on their faces, Zhou Yu knew that they were also from hard-working homeless backgrounds.
When he turned around, Zhou Yu and Philip looked at each other and paused for a moment, most of the governors did not hold a grudge because he hurt himself just now, but this guy reversed his calm and soothing attitude, and his eyes seemed to be about to burst into flames, as if he was going to eat himself alive.
What's wrong with this? Did I move your cheese or sleep your woman? No, since he got here, Zhou Yu hasn't even moved where he is standing, how did he provoke this general? He just couldn't figure it out.
"You'd better get out of here, or I'll leave you dead without a place to bury." Philip took the opportunity to pass in front of him sideways and whispered in Zhou Yu's ear. The Governor scratched his scalp in confusion, let the women put him down, sat on the ground and dressed his ankles, and his heart was a mess of hemp rope.
It's not that I'm afraid that this kid will be strong, since he hit the borderless land, Zhou Yu has seen a lot of ruthless characters, this is a realm that is soft and hard, hard and horizontal. However, as the saying goes, open guns are easy to dodge, and hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, if someone is hacked behind the scenes, stumbling up, or playing yin, it is enough for most governors to drink a pot. The most important thing is that he doesn't know where to offend this Philip general, and he can't stop it!
Whatever he does, heal the sick first. Oh, don't say it, Cleopatra asked people to put this ointment on the wound and put it cold, penetrating into the skin and flesh, straight through the bone marrow, and you know that it is a good medicine as soon as you use it.
"Carney, does it still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore, it's much better. Don't worry, Wei Ya, uncle and aunt will invite us to a big dinner in a while. Finally, you don't have to eat dumplings, are you happy? Zhou Yu sat on the ground, wiping the hair of the little girl squatting beside him.
Along the way, a delicate relationship has unconsciously formed between the two, more like a family. Bataan Village is a walk-in marriage system, Wei Ya only has a mother and does not know who her father is, and the adult hunters in the village are responsible for supporting the newborn. Children who grow up in this single family structure have a strong desire for paternal love. Maybe in Wei Ya's heart, she has long regarded Zhou Yu as her father. Especially when facing danger several times, this guy who usually looks like a fool and a flamboyant tongue has always stood in front of him without hesitation, which made Wei Ya feel a sense of security that she had never felt.
Father's love is like a mountain, maybe that's how it feels.
Zhou Yu was still recalling General Philip's words repeatedly in his heart, why did he let him hurry up? Could it be that his appearance here is blocking his wealth, love or official road? It shouldn't be, the first time I came to the capital, the governor didn't ask for a full house, the second didn't invite the queen to bed, and the third didn't worship the squire of the military department, how to provoke this powerful figure really can't figure it out, it seems that there are only two ways to go, whether to slowly try or smear oil on the soles of your feet.
