Chapter 25 False affection and true meaning (1)
"Fake things can only be used to protect themselves by being uncertain and confusing." - Tasido
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In the receding mountains, forests and gardens, Cleopatra sat on the bumpy seat, watching the surrounding scenery slowly covered with night and the rippling sounds of wheels, Caesar-Lion had already fallen asleep at this rhythm, and the sadness and indifference in Queen Yan's heart surged. She was so smart that she could not stand the mercy of her emotions. When she did such a thing, when she followed Li Bida to fight for restoration, she never thought that protecting a country was so difficult. For women, they had to sacrifice their lust and abandon their true feelings.
At this moment, a sword-fighting slave riding a fast horse chased after him with his horse's hooves, knocked on the carriage a few times, and then said, "Your Excellency the Legal Officer has a letter prepared in advance to you. He hopes you can take a good look."
Cleopatra calmed down and took the word board. It seems that Li Bida had already made a text annotation for today's behavior. He hoped to convince himself:
"Dear Cleopatra, my friend's daughter, the ruler and guardian of Egypt. Of course I can understand your suffering and helplessness in governing the country. Ptolemy once mobilized 200,000 infantry and 1,000 warships. Its armory has weapons and food that can be equipped with 300,000 people at any time, but it is like flowers in the severe winter, completely withered. The Ptolemy Kingdom is a weak country where Rome can easily raise its hand and attack it into powder. In the Cyris Empire where I live, there were several times.
An empire fought bloody battles for hundreds of years, and finally one person named Qin destroyed six other empires and unified the entire world. But do you know? Under Qin's rule, there was still a small country that survived and could retain the right to sacrifice to the ancestors and kings. It was a small country called Wei, which was ordinary, but it preserved itself because of its low profile and weakness. Other empires with powerful infantry and cavalry died one after another. So Seris was once the administrator of the Great Library of the Dynasty. That library and
Alexander City is almost the same, full of wisdom in the book. He once published a very famous philosophical opinion. He believed that the strongest substance in the world was not steel. It was the weakest water, because water could change itself according to the shape of any container and adapt to survive. So Cleopatra, please forgive me for being rude and unwilling in the past. Time is very tight, just as I predicted, Caesar's will was prepared long ago, and he could care about it.
The land admits that Caesar Lyon is his illegitimate son. But it is impossible for you to disobey your country and nation for the sake of your children. If you propose the need to analyze the inheritance, you will be hostile to all the Roman rulings and opposition people. In fact, what I have not told you is that I also know the ending after Caesar's death - that is, you died in the struggle, Caesar Lyon also died, Egypt was destroyed, and was transformed into a direct province of Rome by Caesar's heir, and was greatly discriminated and exploited. It is regarded as an inexhaustible granary.
You may be curious, who am I? But now this is not what you should care about. We may be unable to change the fixed tidal flow of the ocean, but we can avoid the appearance and let the sails sail safely sail to the port. I hope Egypt will continue to exist after Caesar's death, and Caesar-Lyon can grow up safely and become the wise and wise Ptolemy.
I work for my children, and you work for your children. From this point of view, we are still comrades-in-arms, aren’t we?
Please forgive me, Cleopatra, even so, I still ask for your kindness and understanding. Please return to Alexander with peace of mind. The following matters are made up for you. I have been planning this plan since the establishment of Libida Castle. As long as we work together to do it in advance, Alexander and Libida Castle will surely become the jewels of the two crowns that can curb the Roman economy. Please believe me, Cleopatra, and we must seize the time to make a good correspondence.
The preparation is like the time to put the legion on the battlefield, and there are the three legions stationed in Egypt by Caesar's confidant Lufio. You must be careful in everything. You must rely on them, but you cannot trust them too much. Continue to expand the Hormahi Legion, the Gods' Tomb Guard and the River Guard, equip the fine weapons with money and renovate and strengthen the defense of the Ipos Palace - please protect yourself, and wish our ships can safely dock and receive the blessings of the gods."
Li Bida was on the board, and was so densely carved that it was like a mother-in-law's mouth, but his plan surprised Cleopatra. This plan was indeed very bold and novel, but then the queen laughed and cried again. Unexpectedly, this hateful man was still considering himself in his heart, "Sure enough, is the woman he admires the most persistent and unwilling to give up?"
In the city of Rome, where fireworks were like daylight, the justice officer Li Bida quietly wore casual clothes and came to the secluded house, which he gave to Pepeya in advance. After he walked into the small room on the side corridor under the guidance of the slave torch, he found that the mistress and Bisso were waiting for him. The face of the inspector was full of admiration and pleasure. Obviously, Pepeya was secretive of Li Bida's prophecy, otherwise Bisso's expression would not be so relaxed at this time. "You have saved my daughter's marriage happiness. To be honest, Julius is so slutty abroad, but the most dangerous thing is that this Egyptian girl actually has children, while Corpnia has nowhere to come."
"Don't worry, she has taken the child back to Egypt. This time the matter was handled perfectly. It did not cause scandals in Rome, nor would Ling Yan have any concerns." After accepting Bisso's hug, Li Bida smiled and said, "On the Wolf Eve Festival next year, the people who asked the race to slap and order her. In this way, she might be able to successfully conceive in the next year, and she might have to change her will again."
"As Turinus's guardian, do you still want my daughter to be successful?" Bisuo said affectionately holding Li Bida's shoulder.
"Being the guardian of Tulinus is also a part of Caesar's career. I am only loyal to Caesar. If the child was not really an illegitimate child and could not be recognized by the Romans, I would definitely protect him." Li Bida said this, which moved Bisso very much. He said generously, and I will hand over the key to the holy warehouse to you immediately, and freely collect three hundred Tarants, and go to the east to find the inheritance of the Julius family. We are not worried about this kind of thing.
"How much does the treasury still have now?" Li Bida asked inadvertently.
"The Treasury, haha, there is really no money in the Parthenon. Julius used various reasons to emptiate them. Part of them was used for expenses, and part of them was moved to the Holy Deposit, which was also his private vault." Bisso said.
"It's already a lot of controversy. Kassiyo is plundering provinces everywhere in the name of the Governor recruiting troops and asking for money from the treasury. Listening to Bisuo, you owe me personal favors, so you have to help me, not to mention Kassiyo is afraid that he can't do anything good to your son-in-law." Li Bida, who took the opportunity to talk about the topic, continued to talk in depth. (To be continued)
