Chapter 6 Personal Contact (Part 2)
"Look, Caesar's god is sighing and crying!" Amatius immediately shouted when he saw the reflective signal from the hills over there. Then all the gangsters present looked up in his voice. It was true that Caesar's eyebrows were lowered and his face was sad, as if he was stained with tears.
At this time, the choir hiding behind the bronze door of the temple made a low acclaim in unison, making people sound like Caesar was sad. Then on the gable, Caesar's face slowly faded and disappeared.
Anthony, who was dazed, forgot to order the subsequent team to lift the coffin and continue moving forward, but when he came to his senses and was about to give orders, the former military guardian Avenus and Vonteuth suddenly lit the javelin they held in their hands, and then threw it into Caesar's coffin. The flames rose, and the other people stopped moving forward when they saw this. They took turns to throw the collected furniture, sticks and any other flammable things next to Caesar's coffin, and soon a huge crematorium was formed.
Then, the veterans first collectively moved forward and threw the weapons and gold seals they brought into the crematorium. Then the women took off their jewelry and the amulets they brought in, and they threw them in. Li Bida was also accompanied by the crowd, holding flowers to express grief to the dictator. Only Anthony was still walking around the crematorium, silently, and occasionally leaning his head and looking inside. He looked like a forgotten child, and he still couldn't figure out what to do.
When Colpnia, Caesar's wife, appeared and put the remaining bone colonies picked up by the people after the cremation into an urn, Amatius appeared in front of the crowd again. He demanded with all his strength. "This cremation pile. I will donate all my property and build it into an altar with a stone tablet. Every festival, all the people can come here to express their grief for His Excellency Caesar, and hold sacrificial activities. The Senate and other institutions cannot interfere with its existence. Of course, the most urgent thing is that we need the offerings that can sacrifice Caesar in blood. What do you think?"
"The heads of the three traitors, Brutu, Casio and Dihimos!" Many people shouted wildly with Amathius, so they all lit Songming from the embers of the crematorium, and then headed towards Capitoë like a mountain torrent.
Finally, there were only many Jews left in the square, guarding the crematorium and weeping. They vowed to keep a watch on Caesar, and would rest day and night until the festival of the Civilians (June 15).
In the temple of Jupiter, conspirators gathered together in horror. While discussing today's funeral, many people were frightened by Caesar's "gods". They walked around uneasy, and Sipingzel was the first to endure it. He shouted at Brutu, "I have said that strict confidentiality measures must be taken for this incident. Participants must sacrifice to the gods and swear to keep the secrets. As a result, they were known to the whole city before. Otherwise, how could the two-faced Luga run to Anthony with everyone's list?"
"Please make it clear that we are not conspiring to eliminate tyrants for the Republic," Brutu replied.
"You are just a stubborn guy, as stupid as your dead father!" Si Pingzeer blurted out.
As a result, Brutu slammed his nose a few times and tried his best to restrain himself, while Sipingzel kept cursing him. Sometimes he scolded his accomplices for being stupid, sometimes he blamed Etius's letters for being too slow, and sometimes he cursed the leaked dead ghost Luga. Several veterans were angry but they argued with him, and then physical conflicts occurred, fists and feet flying in the temple.
"Shut up, stop. What we should be most concerned about now is that Anthony has obtained this list. What is going to do?" Casca loudly stopped the fight and then raised the topic.
Everyone was silent for a while, and the most nervous Eurabelah, covered his forehead and face, regretting it to death: Why couldn't he resist? This assassination was originally nothing, but he was involved in it, and it was all caused by vanity and fame and fortune. Then he slowly raised his head and said in a trembling tone as the candlelight, "If Anthony handed over this list to Li Bida, then Li Bida would definitely send it before the army of Gaul in Shannan, or the army of Pompeii came to Rome.
The public enemy declared it, followed by a large siege, a large siege that spread throughout the city of Seven Hills - we will have nowhere to stay, Li Bida, Anthony's entourage, his servants and armed slaves will search for us, sewers, chimneys, basements, we will hide here like rats, with women and children, slaves will report us to the reward, sisters, wives and daughters will be raped by lowly soldiers and slaves, and the house, honor and property will be gone, and all will be ruined."
This terrifying scene was impressed by those who were a little older, that is, the most common during the civil war between Mallor, Qinna and Sula. It was like a heavy shackle, pressing on the hearts of any Romans, and a bloody slaughter.
After hearing Urabella's words, many veterans squatted down and cried in despair. Some of them were lucky enough to say that it was okay. After Li Bida's vanguard troops entered the city of Rome, they also vowed in public that they would not declare public enemies!
As a result, Urabella pinched the back of the talking elder's neck, dragged him to the window of the temple, pointed to the fire dragon at the foot of the mountain and surrounded the people like a fire dragon and said, "Very good, then please walk down the mountain with this mutual understanding, and return to your own home. I'll wait to pick up fragments of your body on the street in the future. If the crow and wild dogs don't turn them into a tummy meal!" The elder was suddenly dissipated when he saw this scene and he no longer dared to say more.
"Don't be so pessimistic for the time being. If Anthony held this list in his hand and wanted to kill us, he would have done it long ago." Brutu suddenly spoke and analyzed, "At least Li Bida has never confirmed our list in public, that is, Anthony did not hand him the list." Then, he walked a few steps, then looked at the scene at the foot of the mountain and said, "I think there is a gap between Anthony and Li Bida, and we can take advantage of this."
"How to use it? Not only are there people outside, but also their legions!" Si Pingzeer started to make a noise again.
"Li Bida is the most difficult to deal with. Relatively speaking, we can target Anthony." Brutu said, "The Senate can be re-elected as a consul for five years, and Macedonia and Syria serve as governors, and have eight legions as conditions to induce him to reach a compromise with us, squeeze Li Bida out of the game, and wait for the time to reverse." Brutu said confidently, "I am willing to take on this task." (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
