Chapter 21 Chasing Again (Part 2)
With a crisp "click", the black cat's head opened its mouth immediately, and then its limbs swung up and down. As a result, all the little guys screamed and clapped and laughed. Only then did Portia see clearly that the "black cat" was made of wood with exquisite movement devices, and there were a small tall person underneath that was wielding to make the child next to him happy.
Then there was a silver bell-like laugh. The man took off the wooden toy cat. It was a girl wearing Egyptian "sari" costume. Although she looked smaller than Van Lundena and the little pigeon, her demeanor was the core of the children's group. As a result, the girl saw Li Bida and herself sitting on the long table, she pushed the toy cat with a pulley on her belly to Leo. Then, with a string of crisp bells, she walked to them, enthusiastically hugged Portia, who was still a little inexplicable, and introduced: "I am the daughter of Egyptian pharaoh, and Ling Zun is about to go to Cyprus. The local king happened to be the cousin of the father."
"You mean..." Portia seemed to guess Li Bida's intention to call her here before.
"Of course--the restoration of the father must rely on this Libidaus, and he is my best, most loyal and closest friend now, so I am willing to obey him and ask my father to write a letter to my uncle, persuade him to accept the kindness of the Lord, and become a vassal of Rome, and eliminate the disaster of war." The little queen of Yan said great Latin words.
Before Portia could be cheered up, Li Bida also stood up and said, "I will hire dozens of gladiators, even if I am just on Rhode Island, I will protect Lingzun's safety, and ask Brutu to join Lingzun. He needs real helpers."
Now, the stone in Portia's heart fell. She rubbed her swollen eyes and began to laugh, and then asked Porty if there was anything delicious on the stove. She hadn't eaten for almost a whole day. Soon after, during the chat, she began to cry or laugh about some insignificant trivial matters.
Li Bida, who felt that women were bored, stood in the yard as he looked at his children who were still fiddling with toy cats. At this time, Cleopatra also followed him and said in a curious and naughty tone: "Li Bidaus, I'm curious about how your family is organized? I heard that your wife is in Sardinia. Not by your side, you live with a woman like Porti, which is really special." Li Bida thought she was meddling in other people's business, so she coughed a few times, saying that these things had nothing to do with you, so you should pay more attention to the diplomatic results of the order. Perhaps Xiao Katu's trip to Cyprus this time was a breakthrough: Once Cyprus surrendered to Rome, it would be natural to send troops to Egypt below.
"Okay, okay." Cleopatra walked over there, and then muttered with her hands crossed, "No matter what, I am still interested in your family, compared to the foregone country affairs."
"Okay. In another market day, I will leave Rome and go to the province of Gaul. I will probably not be in contact with my family for about five years." Li Bida impatiently interrupted the relentless pursuit of Queen Yan.
As a result, the next sentence of Xiao Yanxiu almost made Li Bida spew out all the food he had just eaten, "It's been five years, so how can your body hold it? I understand that there are special women in the Roman camps to provide this kind of service, but your wife is so pitiful and has to hold it for five years, right?"
Before Li Bida was angry and angry, Xiao Yan started talking again, saying that you should not go to Gaul, and our Restoration Army will immediately let you serve as a general, so as long as you return to the Egyptian palace with me, then it will be my hair-combed maid. It is all your food on the plate. My two hair-combed maids have been talking about you for a long time. And once you can help me put on the red and white crowns, I can even consider myself..."
"Stop!" Li Bida was a little panicked about the little girl's words. He said coldly, "Sorry, Egypt is too hot." Then he hurriedly changed the subject and walked back to the inner hall to get rid of Cleopatra's entanglement.
However, in the end, until Li Bida left Rome and went to Aguilera, the young widow Yulia still had no reaction. She just sent a message to Li Bida Hongyan by chance. Most of the talks about the construction of the new city of Laconia. Yulia is a woman who is very good at concealing emotions. When she learned that Li Bida might have been gone for five years, she just said to her nominal father in an understatement that she would make many martial honors. "It doesn't matter if I don't have children for the time being. Anyway, you already have three children and have an adopted son. I will definitely regard it as my own child in the future."
In early spring, when he was heading to Aguilera, he was thawed everywhere with the thawed mud, which made Li Bida's armor and cloak full of mud, and his image was a bit embarrassing. However, when he and his entourage arrived at the outskirts of Aguilera, he was still warmly welcomed by the 12th Legion of Illyria, and they were all old acquaintances!
Now the 12th Legion has expanded to 5,000 people. Except for the 1,500 people who were the former thyme backbone, the rest were newly recruited from the Gaul naturalized tribes in northern Italy, or from the Illyria natives. The expenses were finally not borne by Li Bida, but Caesar, who obviously served as the consul for one year, had indeed achieved surplus as Gatu ironically, and even had a lot of surplus. Not only did the "diplomatic funds" given by the German chiefs, but also the funding of the Bisso family and Crasso and others. It was also easy for him to recruit two auxiliary legions.
But even Caesar would not have the regular legion and the auxiliary legion in equal measure, because the messenger reported to Li Bida that Caesar had taken four regular legiones to Milan and was ready to go north to stop the Helveti at any time, and left the two auxiliary legion between Milan and Aguilera - responsible for building the military path.
On the construction site, Li Bida turned off the back of the "owl", and stepped on the mud with a croaking sound, almost falling down. When the soldiers from each battalion saw the commander coming, they put down their tools and lined up to cheer, "Dear Milu, tell me the current organization. Oh, Sabo, Sabo! You are also from Spain." Li Bida hugged the two of them tightly in the mud pit, asking about the affairs of the army continuously.
