Who would have thought that Papingna held Li Bida's hand, and he held and pinched, and his cold hand was always unwilling to let go, like a big bread-like face dipped in red wine, with a pair of rotten walnut-like eyes. Looking at the young and handsome Li Bida, he emitted a wave of corrupt and ambiguous light, and kept saying the words "sincere cooperation" there repeatedly, holding his hand - now Li Bida understood what the old thing's hobby was.

I just don’t know if Milu, who served in the 10th and 13th Legions of Caesar, had any direct conflict with Papingna?

After finally shook off Papingna's hand, Li Bida had to bite the bullet and start dealing with Caesar's aftermath of his resignation. You should know that Caesar "resigned without authorization" before he even arrived at his term, leaving behind the army, the Governor's Office and local government affairs. So on the one hand, they had to do a good job in military delivery, and on the other hand, they had to raise a lot of funds to help Caesar run immediately. They were busy with the matter.

So during the busy process, Papingna also made some "intimate" physical contacts with Li Bida from time to time. Fortunately, Li Bida has been in the Roman world for a long time. This old guy with a dragon-yang habit has also seen a lot. Finally, he held his temper and cleverly moved away from Papingna's claws. In addition, Papingna also knew that his identity was awkward and special, and he was unwilling to cause trouble in the military camp. Therefore, the two of them did not really get any sparks.

The funds that Caesar could mobilize now include the 200 Tarsant that Li Bida vomited out, the eighty Tarsant that the Governor of the War, the eighty Tarsant that he had withdrawn from the trophy, and the "provincial supply" (for the Governor's term office) that the Senate had allocated very late from the treasury, and the fifty Tarsant dowry brought by the girl of the Bisso family (Calpuria, Caesar's third wife, Calpuria). The gifts contributed by the barbarians who were still setting the tax rate at 10% to 10% were also worth about fifty Tarsant. It was finally clear that Li Bida felt very helpless. He couldn't help but report to Caesar, who was still standing in front of the map stage to meditate, saying that the money was not enough.

"Oh, tell me your reasons."

"No matter what, Far Spain is really a poor subordinate. There are too few things that can be plundered and the price paid is too high. I roughly predicted that the campaign for the consul needs at least 400 Tarants, and what about the people who reward the army soldiers? They should be angry that they did not enjoy the triumphal style. If there is no silver coin reward, I am afraid that a mutiny will be caused on this battlefield." Li Bida raised his eyes and estimated that if he wanted to borrow from Crasso again now?

Caesar smiled and said, "You bring the Thyme Legion's Thousand-man brigade and follow me to the camps of the 10th and 13th Legion on the Douro River tomorrow. I have a good solution."

The rising sun rose, and after settled the situation in Northern Lusitania, Caesar and everyone, including Libida and Thyme Legion, plus three war elephants. They crossed the pontoon bridge of the Douro River and arrived at the large camp where the two legions were stationed. They were surrounded by villages of Lusitanians with thick smoke and fire. They were all ruthlessly looted before. The soldiers of the two legions were all listed in the places outside the camp, standing in groups under the sentry tower or by the fence, and welcomed the return of the Governor and his friendly forces. The first troop of the 10th Legion was closest to the main entrance. When Libida lowered his head, he saw Milu and Tagus who were greeting him warmly. The two were shouting "Karabis". Libida's eyes flashed and pretended not to know the two at all and walked in.

When Milu and Tagus saw Papingna following behind Libida, their eyes and face changed. Papingna had always been hiding beside Caesar and did not show up. Both of them were in the first brigade of the Legion, either wandering around in the field or camping. It was not until today that they saw this enemy who killed the general!

But what surprised both of them even more was that Li Bida seemed to have a good relationship with the traitor, and his expressions were faint joy.

Tagus gritted his teeth and was about to take action immediately, but Milu held it down - he was a very cautious man, whispering, "Please look at Karabis's outfit. It seems that he is at the level of a deputy general of the army. His behavior should have his own reason. Let's go find Pop first." Then, the two looked at Papingna and Li Bida, then retreated and quietly disappeared in the soldiers' crowd.

"Listen, I'm called Libida now. Pope knows this. I ignored you just now because he is afraid of the leak of my relationship with you. But I have already taken care of it. After Caesar left, we will kill that guy Papinna together." After nightfall, in Libida's tent, he turned around in front of the candlelight and said to Milu and others, "Believe me, just like the big deal we had in the Walin Apartment."

"Okay, we believe in you, but we have to swore blood in front of the statue of God." After saying that, Milu took out a statue of God with deer antlers and a vessel and placed it on the table. Li Bida nodded, took out a dagger and cut his fingers. The few people did the same. A few drops of blood swayed in the vessel. Then, the few people held the daggers and rubbed the blades back and forth a few times to indicate the end of the oath process.

The next day, Caesar began to ask the messenger to inform the deputy generals of the battalion that the civil guards and the centurion gathered in the small playground, and there was something important to announce. So when Li Bida stood next to Caesar's podium in military uniform, he was a little confused. Caesar had previously told him about the issue of campaign funds and soldiers' rewards. He said no need to worry, and when everything comes to this camp, he will see the conclusion. So how will Caesar solve this problem?

After the staff were all ready, Caesar cleared his throat and announced to the people present: "Everyone, we have indeed achieved great victory in the previous battles and relied on the courage of everyone, and we have obtained a lot of money by selling the spoils. I also know that according to the legion's convention, you have earned much more than ordinary soldiers. After all, a legion has almost 6,000 people, while a centurion has only fifty-nine. But now I have to ask you frankly, that I will go back to Rome to seek greater achievements, and it requires a lot of money. I am willing to borrow the money in your hands and all the money in your hands with 30% interest, how about?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked!

Unexpectedly, there were a lot of discussion in the stands, and Caesar raised his left hand again, stretched out five fingers, and said, "I know, I know that the money obtained on the battlefield is a hundred times more dangerous than the money obtained by the Knights' taxpayer. In this way, I am willing to borrow all the money in your hands with 50% interest. I will say it again, 50%! Oh my God, if I can't win all the battles in Lusitania and Rome, I will be executed in public on Capitoë Mountain, and all my family will be confiscated as slaves! I am willing to swear in front of the statue of Venus and repay your money with principal and interest in a year." (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
