Chapter 205: The Goddess of the Lake

"Gather a team of elite soldiers and act according to their own appearance!" Zhang Beichen ordered.

"Yes! My lord! The ship immediately mobilized a team of elite soldiers and followed Zhang Beichen to the location in a hurry to intercept Cleopatra.

……

Because of Crotis's want, Cleopatra had to disguise her identity. She wanted to ask to see Caesar, but there was no way.

After Caesar killed Pompey, his power in Rome had almost reached its peak, and there was an endless stream of people who came to cling to him, and ordinary people did not see him at all.

Cleopatra had to have his cronies disguise themselves as merchants, claiming to have a peerless treasure to offer to Caesar.

"A peerless treasure?" Caesar was still moved and allowed the merchant to meet.

In Caesar's makeshift palace, a merchant came to meet him.

"Where are your treasures? Let me see, if it's not as precious as you say, I'll hang you! Caesar said.

"Honorable Archon, please rest assured, its preciousness is absolutely rare in the world, no, it should be unique in the world!" The merchant said respectfully.

The merchant asked the servants to carry the treasure up, and Caesar saw that the two servants had entered the room carrying a large rolled blanket.

He immediately frowned and asked, "The peerless treasure you said is just a blanket?" ”

Caesar was so angry that he alarmed the Roman consuls for a blanket, and the merchant didn't want to live!

"Don't worry, sir, please look!" The merchant hurriedly said.

The servant stood the blanket on the ground and slowly opened it.

Caesar stared at the blanket, only to see that as the blanket unfolded, a young girl slowly appeared in front of him.

With a perfect face like the goddess Venus, a sculpture-like figure, a white robe, and a delicate crown on her head, it was as if Venus had really come to earth!

Caesar, who has seen countless beauties, has straight eyes, there is such a beautiful woman in the world!

He had forgotten to harsh the merchants, and the merchants and servants alike had gone away with amusement.

Caesar stood up and couldn't help asking, "Are you a goddess?" ”

Cleopatra was a little afraid of Caesar, but she still had the courage to say, "Honorable Archon, I am the daughter of Ptolemy XII, Cleopatra. ”

"So you are the most beautiful woman of the Ptolemaic dynasty!" Caesar had heard the rumors about her, and he exclaimed, "Sure enough, it is worthy of its name!" ”

"Then you came to me, what is the matter?" Caesar had calmed down at this time, and Cleopatra must have had something important asking him to see him in this way.

In this case, he has a way to pinch the other party.

Cleopatra immediately said, "Your Excellency, I would like to ask you to uphold justice!" My father, Pharaoh Olete, passed the throne to me and my younger brother, Crotis. ”

"But Crotis disobeyed his father's will, took my throne, and ordered me to be hunted down!"

"You want me to help you become Pharaoh of Ptolemy?" Caesar shook his head and said, "Crotis has done me a great favor, kill my enemy Pompey, I will not harm him!" ”

"Your Excellency, you just need to let him carry out my father's will and let me share the throne with him!" Cleopatra said.

Caesar smiled slightly and said, "It's not difficult for me. However, there is no such thing as a throne in vain. You have to show the same sincerity! ”

After saying that, he did not hide his greed at all, and looked Cleopatra up and down.

If such a goddess of the world can't become his wife and concubine, then what's the point?

"I am willing to offer half of the gold and treasures of the Ptolemaic dynasty!" Cleopatra hurriedly said.

"Do you think I, Caesar, am the one who lacks gold and treasures?" Caesar asked rhetorically.

Cleopatra was silent, she knew what Caesar wanted, but she was not reconciled.

Here, everyone worships Caesar, and countless girls hope that they can be favored by Caesar and become his princess!

Previously, Cleopatra had also heard of Caesar's daimyo and considered him an all-powerful hero.

But when she came into contact with Zhang Beichen, she found that the man full of wisdom and mystery seemed to attract her more.

"It looks like you're not very prepared." Caesar is not in a hurry, the more beautiful things are, the more patient you have, if it is an ordinary woman, he will not care about these at all.

But Cleopatra was so beautiful that he was willing to wait.

"My army will stay here for three more days, and I hope you can figure it out in those three days." Caesar instructed the servant, "Arrange a dwelling for this beautiful young lady." ”

"Yes!"

Cleopatra returned to the tent, and his cronies asked Caesar's opinion.

After learning what had happened, the cronies understood what Caesar meant.

They immediately advised: "If you can become Caesar's princess, Crotis will never dare to offend you!" You will become the true queen of the Ptolemaic dynasty! ”

"Caesar is the most powerful man in Rome, you and him are a match made in heaven!"

"Queen, please strengthen our faith in following you!"

"You guys go down first, I'm tired and need to rest." Cleopatra sent them away.

The cronies had no choice but to retreat.

Cleopatra knew very well that if she couldn't get Caesar's help, these cronies would turn around and betray her!

The reason why they still follow them is that they hope that they can become female pharaohs and let them gain glory and wealth! If none of this is available, who will be loyal to her?

As for Caesar, Cleopatra also understood that he seemed to let herself make a choice, but in fact she did not have the right to choose.

Caesar wanted her, but he just wanted to look better in name.

Cleopatra tossed and turned, and could not sleep at night.

It was late at night, and Cleopatra couldn't sleep, so she left her tent and took a walk by the small lake.

The moonlight shone on the surface of the lake, sparkling with waves.

Cleopatra looked at the moon and sang a ballad in a gentle but sad voice.

"If in this life, I can only turn my back on the person I love and become a puppet queen, then I would rather leave this world!" Cleopatra walked barefoot slowly towards the lake.

She didn't care that the cold water of the lake flooded her feet, then her legs, her waist, and all the way to her neck.

Her hair floats on the surface of the lake, about to sink to the bottom!

Just then, a voice sounded in her ear, "Patra, are you going to learn to snorkel?" ”

Cleopatra's eyes widened, and she saw a man standing above the lake in the moonlight, smiling at her.

"Zhang Beichen?" Cleopatra couldn't believe her eyes, "Is this my hallucination?" It is said that hallucinations occur when you die......"

"Is this a hallucination?" Zhang Beichen took a step forward and stretched out his hand, and Cleopatra was pulled out of the water by spiritual power.

"It's really you!" Cleopatra was pleasantly surprised, and for a moment, she burst into tears!

At this time, she was only wearing a white shirt, and after being soaked in the lake, she loomed, as if she was hiding the best thing in the world!

Her long hair is shawl, and the drops of water lie down along the hair, flowing through the crystal earlobes, the swan-like neck, and into the deep mountains and ravines, which is incomprehensible!

"Zhang Beichen!" Cleopatra ran directly to Zhang Beichen, and then kissed him passionately!

Zhang Beichen didn't refuse, his hands tightly wrapped around her slender waist, and kissed her until she was about to lose her breath!

Zhang Beichen used his spiritual power to form an enchantment, so that the people around him could not explore everything here.

Cleopatra was a little crazy, almost desperate.

You have completed an ancient and sacred ritual in the waters of the lake. 】

……

"Zhang Beichen, what should we do now?" Cleopatra snuggled into Zhang Beichen's arms and asked.

"Go back!"

"Where to go?" Cleopatra looked at him with bright eyes.

"Go back to the palace, Pharaoh's place should belong to you!" Zhang Beichen said.

"However, the Roman soldiers are guarding me......" Cleopatra hesitated, in the eyes of the Ptolemaics, the Roman army was invincible!

"Look at me!" Zhang Beichen signaled.

Soon, there was a commotion in the Roman army, as if there was a fire somewhere, and the soldiers hurried over to put out the fire.

"Let's go!" Zhang Beichen hugged Cleopatra and wanted to leave here.

"Those cronies of mine...... If I want to go back to the palace, I need them to help me. Cleopatra said.

"Let them run, life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky." Zhang Beichen said that he asked his men to inform the men to escape.

……

"What's going on?" Caesar was asleep, and he was surrounded by several young girls, and when he met Cleopatra, he was so itchy that he couldn't help but quench his anger at night.

"My lord, the barracks are on fire! Caused some riots! The subordinate reported.

"On fire?" Caesar frowned slightly and said, "How is the situation now?" ”

"The soldiers have all gone over to put out the fire, this place is close to the lake, and it should be extinguished soon!"

"Go, look at Cleopatra, can't let anything happen to her!" Caesar ordered.

"Yes!" The subordinate hurriedly ran out.

After a while, he hurriedly ran back and reported: "My lord, Cleopatra is gone!" ”

"What? A big living person, you can't stand it? Caesar said angrily.

"The soldiers guarding her were knocked unconscious or killed!"

"Quick, go and find, you must get her back!" Caesar shouted.

This woman must be his! He was the Roman consul, the most powerful man in the land! The woman he fancies, he must get!

The Roman soldiers searched all night but could not find Cleopatra, but they captured several of her cronies.

Caesar interrogated his cronies, "Where did Cleopatra go?" ”

"My lord, we don't know! She didn't inform us! "The cronies beg for mercy.

"Call me!" Caesar rewarded them with a whip, then drew his sword to the neck of one of them and asked, "If your answer does not satisfy me, your head will fall to the ground!" ”

The man quickly replied, "My lord, I don't know where she has fled. But Cleopatra had a mysterious friend from the East, and perhaps it was he who took Cleopatra with him! ”

"Mysterious Oriental friends? Who? Caesar asked.

The cronies told him about the matter, and Caesar was even more unconvinced, "You said, he came from an eastern country called Daqi. Is this kingdom as strong as Rome? Can you build a sea ship as majestic as a castle? Are you trying to fool me? ”

"No, no, my lord, what I said is true! Their boat was anchored by the sea. In order to get his ship, Crotis did not hesitate to murder him, but failed. ”

Caesar did not kill him, for he saw that the men were all speaking the same way, and that they were horrified, and that they did not look like they were lying.

"If there really is such a fleet, it can only belong to me, Caesar!"

"If the Orientals dare to snatch my woman, then let him taste the power of the Roman cavalry!"

Caesar immediately ordered to find the fleet of Great Qi.

……

After Zhang Beichen took Cleopatra away, he returned directly to the ship.

"Your Excellency, everything is ready!" The scouts sent to reconnoiter intelligence had returned to the ship.

"Alright, herald, let's go!" Zhang Beichen ordered.

"Zhang Beichen, what are we going to do now?" Cleopatra asked.

"Attack Crotis, of course, and help you reclaim the throne!" Zhang Beichen said as a matter of course.

"However, you are only 30,000 people, and Crotis has an army of more than 100,000 people!" Cleopatra hurriedly persuaded, "Don't be impulsive now! ”

"Don't worry, our 30,000 people are enough to destroy his army!" Zhang Beichen said.

According to the information from the scouts, at this time, the army of the Ptolemaic dynasty was recruited from the nobility, not civilians, but slaves!

These slaves usually don't have enough to eat, let alone any combat training!

And the soldiers of Daqi can't eat enough, they still have meat, they can practice one by one, they know the art of war, their weapons are advanced, and their combat effectiveness is not of the same level!

Cleopatra was still worried, and in her opinion, the difference in the number of armies between the two sides was too great!

[The fleet arrived at the port of the Ptolemaic dynasty, where Crotis placed tens of thousands of heavy troops to guard it. 】

At sea, those small warships of Ptolemy were no match for the Great Qi Bao ships at all, and they were directly sunk and sunk!

"Fire!" When the fleet came to the port, Zhang Beichen asked all the ships to fire their guns together, quickly broke the port's defenses, and then carried out a landing operation.

Cleopatra watched the battle from the ship, and he saw the soldiers of Daqi slaughtering into the harbor, and the soldiers of Crotis were slaughtered like chickens and sheep in front of them, without the slightest power to fight back!

There are even some powerful Daqi soldiers, one person chasing dozens of people to fight!

"Oh my God, why are they so powerful?" Cleopatra was amazed.

[Your soldiers successfully attacked the port, and Cleopatra brought his cronies to collect the surrendered soldiers and nobles. 】

[You take your soldiers and continue to fight against the Ptolemaic royal capital. 】

……

"Cleopatra is really getting together with those Orientals! The king should have killed her in the first place! When Crotis heard the news of the attack of the Great Qi soldiers, he was furious and immediately began to mobilize a large army.

"If they were at sea, there really would be nothing the king could do with them. Since they took the initiative to go ashore and die, the king killed them all and took their treasure ship! ”
