Chapter 29 Doubt (1)
"The gentle land produces mild figures, and extremely fine crops and brave warriors cannot come from the same land. ※%" - Herodotus

Yulia, who was worried, also sat on the shoulder carriage with parasols and followed her husband, not saying much about Leo, but in her heart she was worried about the "little lion" thrown in the dungeon by her father.
On the hillside, Li Bida pulled the reins and shouted happily with many people, galloping along various roads, and the servants holding forks and iron sticks followed closely, driving their prey in the predetermined direction, while Yulia, who was sitting under the parasol, kept talking to the maid beside her with restlessness.
At this moment, Leo slowly walked down the dungeon stairs again. After a night of whipping for half a day, Sifax had already turned into a pile of rotten meat, but was rescued by the herbal doctor again. At this time, he was covered in wounds and was rolling his eyes, staring coldly at Leo standing on the steps.
"Don't waste your time. The bastard born to you, the military slave and the military prostitute, will be executed here, and then bury my body in the fish pond of this manor to cover up the dirty and inferiority of your family."
As a result, two servants carrying food plates came over to Leo. When they placed them on the bench in front of Westfax, the centurion realized that it was his favorite crispy roasted pigeon.
"Eat it, maybe you won't be able to eat it right away. I've sent someone to inquire about it. This is your favorite dish to make for you in Sutra. "Leo said coldly.
"Send someone to inquire? Do you know where my wife and children live?" Sifax's voice trembled.
"Yes. This is not a difficult task. For the intelligence network my father set up, I know that your wife and children live in that town, and that neighborhood they are in. Now, with my order, there will be fifty fully armed slaves and sword-fighting slaves, surrounding your house."
"Don't be so despicable, you'll endanger my family!" Sifax could no longer bear it, and he could hear the implicit sound of Leo's words.
"It's you, Centurion of Sifax! You think you are showing off your personal bravery and loyalty here, but you believe that others cannot deal with you. I have warned you long ago that you will know quickly. It will be good for the whole country and for you personally. But now you are relying on our inaction. It is simply a foolish, foolish reckless man and soldier!" Leo also refuted angrily, and then he pointed with his hand.
He ordered the gladiators and slaves, "Put his mouth open and feed him this meal, and then kill his wife and children." As a result, Sifax was pressed against his neck by several big men, and howled down and refused to eat it. Leo obviously seemed to have a plan, and waved his hand, so many slaves entered in one after another, rumbled Sifax's tortured rack, dragged up the stairs, and finally pulled out of the dungeon.
The unrestrained sunlight made Sifax unable to open his eyes. This should be the secluded backyard of the Opherun Manor. It is said that it is the backyard of the backyard. There are no fountains and gardens here, only high walls, stables and mud and sandy land.
"Stand up." After giving this order, Leo raised his fingers to the tower beside the courtyard wall, and then in the corridor of the wall, a group of new recruits from the Liwus Legion, holding a row of new copper tubes, walked in neatly.
"I think this tube is not thick enough." Leo took one of them, looked at it, and said with dissatisfaction.
So the leader of the centurion, also called his subordinates, walked in with a stronger and thicker copper tube and placed it on a special fork stand. While still stunned in Sifax, Leo held the thinner copper tube and turned to him and said:
"Dear centurion, I admire your courage and persistence. You are an absolute warrior. I think that the most brilliant way of execution can be worthy of you. However, before formally executing you, I have to ask someone to test it." At this time, several domestic slaves covered a dog's eyes with cloth and tied it to the mouth of the copper pipe that was later carried.
Soon, with an indescribable loud noise, the dog's body turned into a twisted and shattered limb, with internal organs and blood strips flying around, and the copper tube was bent and destroyed.
"Switch another one." Leo said, and then he took advantage of the soldiers' busy moments to walk to Sifax. "What do you think of this kind of execution? I originally wanted to apply honey to your wounds, and then let thousands of insects gnaw you into bones under the scorching sun, but this method is too many people to show my admiration for you at all. So I hope you can like this method I came up with, and use this tube to execute you, so that the goddess of funeral and the goddess of death cannot recognize your appearance, and tell you to wander around forever on the border of the Styx."
Before Sifax could say something, Leo suddenly added, "By the way, what should you think of smashing a puppy just now? I heard that children and dogs are about the same size."
Immediately, all the cold sweat of Sifax flowed into his wounds. He didn't know where so much sweat came out. It was very easy for a person to be a hero for himself, but once he thought that his child was facing such a tragic and terrible murder, he began to become extremely angry and desperate. But Leo was still there, looking at him with an extremely cold look, "Kill me, as soon as possible." Sifax pleaded with a pleading tone.
"No, no, I suddenly had a better idea for the centurion, that is, to delay for a few more days. Maybe I would ask someone to bring your wife and children from Mount Surat, and to execute you in front of you in this courtyard, I think it would be very gorgeous and extremely gorgeous!"
"You little devil!"
"Then sell you to the devil in exchange for the life of your wife and children!" Leo grabbed Sifax's hair directly and shouted at him, "Do you really think I dare not do this? Then try it, how about it?"
"I don't want to try, I don't want to try!"
"Then let's say the name of the messenger behind the scenes!" Leo pulled Sifax's head hard and slapped the wooden frame.
Half a moment later, Leo wiped the sweat from his forehead and slowly walked out of the backyard door. He came to the fountain of the garden, scooped up water, washed his hair carefully, his neck and face, and then he closed his eyes and raised his head, shook the water from his hair, passed through the atrium and the villa, and walked to the door of the manor - at this time, his father happened to have finished his hunting and had just returned with the guards and guests.
"Father, congratulations, today I finally found the prey I longed for in the hills." Leo swayed and swayed, and said this to Li Bida, who had a solemn expression, and then fell down.
