Chapter 149: Engagement
Cleopert died, Octavian conquered Egypt, and at the same time completed the unification of Rome, and he also received absolute power that Caesar never had.
When the Roman army returned to the Apennine Peninsula, Octavian suddenly remembered Yang Rui, and he felt that this man suddenly appeared beside Caesar and himself, and helped the adoptive father and son complete the transformation of the Roman Republic and form the greatest Roman Empire in history.
And when Octavian sent people around to look for the prophet, Yang Rui had already disappeared into thin air.
Yang Rui's figure overlooked the Roman army at his feet in the sky, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and Samael beside him asked: "My master, you are in charge of all this, the Roman Republic could have spent more time peacefully, but your intervention has plunged them into decades of civil war, and it is foreseeable that there will be bloody massacres because of that crown in the future." ”
Yang Rui smiled: "This is exactly the result I wanted. ”
Puzzled, Samael asked, "Why is that?" ”
Yang Rui said: "Without suffering, human beings will not reflect. After reflection, they will be confused, and in the confusion they will find a way out, and the way out will be a new faith, and any faith is the embodiment of absolute will. ”
Samael said, "You mean it's all about creating new faiths? ”
Yang Rui looked at Samael and said with a smile: "Of course, the time is almost up, and our protagonist is about to appear." ”
In the face of Yang Rui's words, Samael was a little puzzled, but he firmly believed that everything was right for his master, and he said, "Next, what should I do?" My master. ”
Yang Rui's eyes looked at the desert area in the east and said, "It's better for me to do it myself." ”
Samael asked, "Where are you going?" ”
Yang Rui said, "Go to Jerusalem." ”
At this time, Jerusalem was already a magnificent city, and it was the holy city of all the peoples in the place, although most of its inhabitants were Jews and Saracens, but the Romans were the masters here. Jerusalem was now the territory of King Herodea, but the Roman governor of Judea was the supreme ruler there.
Jerusalem is indeed a charming city, and such a beautiful scenery makes Yang Ruidu stop again and again and forget to return.
At this point he was no longer the centurion of the Roman legions. In the eyes of passers-by, he was a traveler traveling all over the world at this time, quiet and peaceful, but full of wisdom.
After a few days in Jerusalem, Yang Rui got up and walked out of the city, and after the last towering temple of Judaism behind him, he traveled to a place west of Jerusalem called Nazareth.
Nazareth was a small, remote town inhabited by the poor Israelites and many other races, and it was located on the border between Judea and Persia, so that no one would be curious or wary of the presence of a traveler like Yang Rui.
As Yang Ruixin walked down the street, the clanging of striking iron could be heard from the blacksmith shop on the side of the road, and the smell of wine and unleavened bread wafted from the restaurant.
This taste made Yang Rui feel very familiar, he had eaten this thing with Moses in the desert, and now and more than a thousand years later, Moses has long since passed away, but his descendants have taken root in this desert and blossomed everywhere.
At this time, a group of children ran past Yang Rui, and one of the daredevils hit Yang Rui's body headlong and fell to the ground fiercely.
Yang Rui picked up the child and said with a smile, "What happened?" ”
The boy said cheerfully, "Joseph the carpenter is engaged to Maria today, and we must hurry to go, or the candy will be distributed." ”
With that, the child ignored the pain and disappeared at the end of the street.
In one courtyard, surrounded by a low courtyard wall, a crowd of people gathered relatives and friends of the two families, who gathered around a couple of newlyweds and Jewish priests, who were reverently singing poetry.
In the crowd of onlookers, Yang Rui's figure also appeared, he first saw Joseph, an honest and loyal carpenter, young and strong, full of vitality, in the face of the blessings of his relatives, he also looked a little shy, with a happy smile on the corner of his mouth.
Beside him was the girl he was about to marry, the beautiful Maria. This girl can be said to be beautiful and outstanding, although she is dressed up to cover her body, but she can't hide the sadness on her face.
Seeing this, Yang Rui smiled faintly, then turned around and disappeared behind the crowd.
At night, the relatives were still singing and having fun in the courtyard, but Maria returned to her home early, she had no intention of sleeping, just leaned in front of the window and looked at the bright moon in the sky in a daze, inadvertently, two lines of tears wet her face.
At this time, a man's voice came to mind behind me: "Can you tell me what worries you?" ”
Maria turned her head to look and found a serene, holy man standing at the door, smiling at herself, and that person was Yang Rui.
Maria stood up and stared at the stranger at the door with some alarm and asked, "Who are you?" ”
"I'm here to help you." Yang Rui continued: "Can I come in? ”
Maria was a little hesitant, and Yang Rui said, "Don't worry, I have no malicious intent." ”
Perhaps it was seeing Yang Rui's holiness that made Maria feel that this man was not a bad person, so she said: "Please come in, if you have any misdeeds, I only need to shout, and you will be torn to pieces by my family!" ”
Yang Rui walked into the room and said with a smile: "If I were really malicious, I wouldn't greet you so politely." ”
Maria asked, "What's the matter with you?" Stranger. ”
In order to make Maria feel at ease, Yang Rui did not walk into this girl, but sat on the low stool at the door, looked at Maria in the dim light and couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, it's a beautiful girl." ”
The smugness on Maria's face was fleeting, and then she straightened up and asked seriously, "You're here to tell me this?" ”
Yang Rui said: "Beautiful girls are loved by everyone, and they are easily confused by rhetoric and go astray, don't they?" ”
Maria immediately became nervous and asked Yang Rui, "Who are you?" Why these words are being said. ”
Yang Rui spread his hands and said, "You are in trouble now, I am here to help you." ”
Maria was stunned for a moment, then pretended to be relaxed and said, "Thank you for your help, but I don't have any trouble now!" If you can, please leave my house immediately, or I'll have to call someone. (To be continued.) )
