After seeing off Sabo's mother, Li Bida quietly wandered in the hall where he first met Sabo. At that time, Sabo was not even twenty years old, but was just a young man named in the municipal council. He was with financial slaves all day long, but was busy with his work seriously. He was less than thirty years old and was a newcomer who had just started in the Roman military...

Now, time flies, the layout here has changed too much. The original patio has been sealed up, and a new courtyard has been reopened outside, with some shrubs and common flowers planted. The benches where the slaves worked and the floor filled with straw and wine jars were removed. The huge thick wooden table was still far away. At that time, Saab, who was a little thin, sat there, with a stubborn and serious look in his hand, and answered him in a straight line. At that time, it was just all the questions of a temporary provincial finance officer. Now this is just an attached resting place for the government hall. Few people come here on weekdays, and only a few servile men sat on the steps, drinking crude wine lazily. This scene really evokes Li Bida's memories.

"Time passed by like this hall, some changed, but some did not change."

Four days later, Li Bida's patrol team came to the city of Cades, and at the same time, the expeditions of Parumma and Hitius also came in triumphal on ships.

The king of Mauritania, Saptaros, betrayed his relatives and committed suicide by taking poison in his palace. His head was cut off by his servants, and the entire kingdom was surrendered to the army of Paruma. When Pocus fled to the deeper desert, he was also caught up by Paruma's cavalry, and he was even more willing to take advantage of the old merits of Caesar's party when he was fighting against Juba. He was exonerated to himself, "I can sit in a cage, follow the high priest to return to the triumphal sport of Rome, or hand over the kingdom to the republic, but I hope I won't be executed on the Villa Mountains, as long as I keep my assets of 200,000 dinar silver coins, I would rather be a residence in Rome and spend my life."

In front of the Hercules Temple in the city of Cardes, Pocus in the cage was covered in rags, with hair disheveled, and chains tied around his neck, begging pitifully. "If that's the case, I'll beg you for days. After boarding the ship and returning, I will ask someone to loosen your chains." The high priest standing in front of the cage said this as if he was looking at a talking beast.

Then the high priest slowly climbed to the temple and unveiled the new statue he gave to the city. And the new statue of the temple of heroes - a huge bronze statue of sword and plow. "This statue already represents the current situation in the entire Iberian Peninsula, that is, under my conquest, all peace and order have been restored. No, it is more outstanding and quiet than before. All tribes on the peninsula, the soldiers who were recruited in advance, will be dismissed. This is the meaning of this statue. From then on, not only in Spain, but also in the whole country, swords will be forged into plows."

Then, Li Bida hung the garland of the olive branch under the statue, turned to the steps, and thousands of soldiers lined up in neatly and said to the centurion, "But, we still cannot throw away the sword in our hands easily, because in the far east, the enemy's army and ships are still raging. Brutu and Kasillo, their actions are more despicable than the brothers of Shao Pompey. My mission is still calling me, that is, to cut off the heads of these people and send them to the Temple of Great Love in Roman City, and to worship the former dictator who died." But then, the consul and high priest suddenly changed the topic, and he took out the book in front of everyone's eyes, "Everyone, I swear to fight from the city of Rome.

Come, after four months of battle, fifteen legions were used, tens of thousands of miles, and the enemy was destroyed, and fifteen legions were eliminated, and the captives destroyed two kings who were enemies of Rome, pacified four provinces and two kingdoms. Before me, all the generals of the Republic had fought such a powerful enemy, and had not been tug-of-war for three or even ten years. So now in the Senate, some people attacked me in secret secret corners, saying that I had consumed too much public funds in the state, which was completely a lie of fools or people with ulterior motives. I hope that most of these people belong to the former, and if the latter, I would have to use some extraordinary means to safeguard my honor - but."

The high priest on the steps raised his hand, "Compared with the poor and incompetent performance of the Greece War Zone of Illyria, I can raise this group of people not to cause too much harm to the country. As we all know, the Young Caesar has seven legions, which is only half of me in terms of number, but Brutu, who directly faced him, had only four legions, but he was defeated repeatedly. Some people told him that when he was fighting against the enemy on the front line, he would only give orders and then stare blankly in the tent. I am not going to protect anyone, even if I am his guardian

Even if my daughter Corinna had an engagement with him, I never used my personal relationship to assess people or impeach people - Paluma, who was about to be promoted to the envoy of the New Province of Mauritania, was proof of this. Then it was soon time when I was the consul and took over the affairs of the Greek war zone, the Republic did not need to continue to spend endlessly on a young man who was not in the battle formation. Perhaps time and opportunity have proved that Young Caesar was not a person suitable for the affairs of the battle formation, and perhaps other places were more suitable for him to serve in public office and win other glory for the Republic."

Hearing this, all the generals felt a chill on their backs. When they said something directly, the high priest "turned his face ruthlessly". Although most of the commanders and deputy generals in the fifteen legions understood that Li Bida took the opportunity to play, everyone knew in their hearts that Li Bida would soon deprive the power and army of the other "former allies". But what they didn't expect was that the first person he had to attack was Octavian.

Only Sekdelius, the commander of the Tenth Legion, was still listening carefully to the words and sentences of Li Bida and nodding sincerely.

"What the high priest said is reasonable."

"It seems that Caesar does have such a problem."

"If I look at it from the perspective of law and national policy, I support the high priest."

"Yes, that's it!"
