Chapter 31: Seizing the City (2)

The temple of the clan? This is fresh and interesting. It seems to be the rule of the ancient conquerors. It is also a relished exchange in history textbooks! Especially the Romans, whenever they conquer a land, they would stamp the gods they believed in as "marks", but they would usually transport the gods in the conquered land back to Rome to worship. Among them, the gods in Asia Minor and Egypt are the most popular and have always been in full bloom.

After hearing Apis's words, Li Bida had the urge to erect the statue of Rex Lius in the city of Orcresi, but when he thought about it, it seemed that he had not yet reached a mature state. After all, the Eastern God of War Rex Lius was not very well-known in Rome. In fact, to put it bluntly, he was not well-known, so the best candidate to come to the city to accompany Mercury was the only altar of King Numa.

This was the unanimous decision of the Legion Committee, and the temple project was soon launched. This was Libida's glory - naturally, Libida came to pay for the money. The temples and even private houses in ancient Rome have actually reached the level of "templateization", which means that engineers and craftsmen have arranged several plans in advance, and the owner can decide. The next step is a "one-stop" service. Of course, this project will not be obstacles to veterans. Therefore, Libida quickly found the Thirteenth Legion, namely, the subordinate of Aspis, Pope, who is now a subordinate of Apis. "What is the method of a small temple more convenient, beautiful and fast."

"Your three requirements cannot be put forward at the same time, and a building cannot coexist with the characteristics of the three."

"Then it's smaller and more beautiful."

"Let's use a small round temple with a circular column, double steps and double doors. Twelve columns and double walls are interlaced for mosaic paintings. Just like the Temple of Castor in the city of Rome."

The construction plan was decided soon, and Li Bida immediately lowered his voice and said to Pope in the tent: "During the project, you should be with me, but when talking to others, don't show the way we both knew each other."

"Are you preparing to get rid of Papingna?"

"Yes, letting this thing go back to Rome will not only form a competitive relationship with me in front of Caesar, but also make you hate me. For the sake of emotion and reason, I can only get rid of him."

"I absolutely agree and cover it, but I'm sure I don't."

"Anyone has a suspicious dark ghost, and think about it. Papingna is a man with extraordinary ambitions. He has been hiding his identity in a remote corner like Spain for so many years, and has been tortured by fear and suspicion. It will not be too difficult to control the behavior of such people. Soon, he will accept my gift." Li Bida used his hand to tweak the winter timepiece on the table in front of him and smiled sinisterly.

That's right, even Pope discovered this phenomenon. That's why Li Bida's smile became more and more evil and insidious.

After capturing Orcreci, the three Roman legions first "three days of the Great Ring" and then withdrew from the castle and underwent a short summer camp rest in the countryside. They waited for the Governor's Office to rectify the endgame of Lusitania after the war, and then opened the way back to Rome, and decided to stay and stay for the next year (disband after enjoying the triumphal ceremony, or continue to serve the Republic and the Master after his master took office as the consul).

At this time, when the salt purchased by Libida in Cedes and Italy was sent to the camp, the soldiers were very happy. It was absolutely painful to be restricted from eating salt due to shortages during the war. Now the barbecue and wheat bread finally had the most delicious seasoning. The salt was placed in special clay pots and entered the separate camps according to the quota. As a result, when the scale officer of the Papingna military camp opened the clay pot, he discovered a shocking phenomenon - only the financial official camp and the clay pots under his subordinates were stuffed into each bottle with blood dripping!

This definitely made Papingna crazy, and he began to frighten: there were definitely the remnants of Sedoulis in this camp who mingled in, eager to take revenge on him, absolutely.

In order to avoid danger, he began to strengthen his guardians nervously and doubt whether the legion general Zuo participated in the conspiracy against him. As a result, he brought a large number of armed sword slaves to Li Bida's camp at the foot of Vera Mountain to "visit" and come to explore the whim.

Papingna's initial question was very simple. As the financial officer, he didn't know what it was about purchasing salt. Who was in charge of this matter? Li Bida looked very sorry and said that the two financial officers of the Governor's Office were also on the rotation system. It happened that when the commander of the 13th Legion, Lord Apis, came to me to discuss this matter, it was my turn to be on duty, so I took the initiative to cover my ring and took over the procurement matter.

Then, Li Bida took out a copy of the document, and Papingna hurriedly took it. Sure enough, he saw that Apis' seal was ranked first in the center, and Li Bida's seal was humbly respectful to accompany the last seat.

"Dear Libidaus, I just want to know more about my colleague, Commander Apis, who is from? You all come from Rome and should know each other." Papingna's expression was so panicked that Libida naturally saw the fire, so he naturally introduced: "This is one of my benefactors. He was a military guardian in Likdanya, and he released me as a military guardian. But I don't know very well about his life. I only know that his origin and supporter are both the Democratic Party, and with his outstanding ability, he was attracted by His Excellency Julius. You also know that although Julius was born as the oldest noble, he was indeed on the side of the Democratic Party."

"Yes, yes!" Papingna nodded repeatedly, and the chain of reasoning began to form in his heart: Sethulis was an ally of Mario, and Mario was the leader of the Democratic Party and Caesar's uncle. Now Apis, who is in his early thirties, also supports the Democratic Party. Could it be a subordinate of the One-Eyed Dragon back then? But I have never seen this person before, but maybe I forgot - you know, it is a very common mistake to ignore an Avenger who always hides in the shadows. I am also a mortal, and I have no natural immunity to this mistake.

"Is there anything I can help you?" Li Bida asked gently, interrupting Papingna's random thoughts.

The other party immediately stood up and said he was disturbed. He just decided to purchase salt to facilitate the organization of the Governor's account books. Li Bida smiled and said it was okay. Then he took out a letter in front of Papingna, "This is a letter sent by a civilian guardian of the civilian who is named Priris Carabisf. It also talks about you. Please check it out."
