Chapter 5 Unprepared (Part 1)

"A major thing cannot be implemented by a young man in a hurry." - Niceas of Athens

————————————————————

Everyone present, Luculas, Caesar, Crassus and Libida, all of them, instinctively felt that a new era was about to be staged in Rome, an era when monsters united to hunt, although only four or five people in Rome realized this at this time.

This feeling of standing at the forefront of the times was something that Li Bida had never felt in the time and space he had lived in before. He held his breath and looked at the expression of Pizhu carefully. He naturally knew in his heart that Crassus was beyond everyone's expectations and agreed to join forces with his enemy Pompei, 70% of the time it was due to his operation, and the other 30% of the factors - maybe it was Caesar who went to find him, or maybe it was Pompei who sent someone to find him personally, it was unknown.

At this time, Lukulas, in front of the candlelight on the dining table, had the wrinkles on his face as a knife. He once thought that with the encouragement and assistance of Xiao Katu, he could take office as the consul for the second time, free from the plain days of Pulaima, and call the wind and rain in politics again, but who would have thought that Caesar, Pompei and Crassus had joined forces. He lifted his loose eyelids and looked at Caesar, who was sitting opposite him. The other party was wise, energetic, and skillful, and was at the age of the most unstoppable man in his life. No dilemma could beat him down. He must have used Crassus and himself to join forces to quickly win over Pompei, and then went to persuade Crassus. He was the lubricant between the three. He was the biggest beneficiary.

Maybe. My era is really over. Thinking of the original planning blueprint shattered, Tuna's mood has calmed down. He regained his smile, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and said to Caesar politely: "Although I am proficient in Greek literature, I am still a straightforward Latin man in my bones. That's right, Caesar, you won this time." After that, he put the napkin on the table. "I don't want to bear the disaster of being attacked by the three monsters together. Let that Bibruce bear it, or Little Gatu. I'm worthy of my friends in the scene. I'm now here to privately announce my withdrawal from the campaign, but I have to stick to the end in the scene."

Caesar leaned easily on the back of the chair, with a smile on his lips, and raised his left hand and said, "May our friendship last forever. You can enjoy various fish in front of the fish pond with peace of mind and stay away from the storm of politics. What a pleasant thing. Pompei and your ex-wife brother-in-law, you have avenged a revenge. With the help of Li Bida, there is no shortage in your life, and I promise you that your care for your brother Marcos will be included in me - you don't need to worry about my Caesar's promise."

"Thank you, but I think your next exchange price is to ask Li Bida to continue to be your questre, right?"

"Are you uneasy to do this? Anyway, after I get the help of Crassus and Pompey, I will be invincible. The more immeasurable the future of this Libidaus under my account, the higher the status, the safer you and Marcos will be - from the situation of this campaign, you can see that his loyalty to your family is impeccable." Caesar said it very well, and asked Tuna Lukulas nodded. The two also reached an agreement, "I can not only give you Libida's ability, but also lend you the campaign funds that all walks of life have sponsored me. But I hope you can leave a way out for people like Katto in the future."

"It depends on my mood." Caesar calmly put down the tableware, stood up and said politely to everyone, and left the banquet. Before leaving, he blinked at Li Bida and said, "I will come to my residence in Subra District tomorrow."

The next morning, Lukulas was fishing in front of the fish pond in Pulaima. According to the custom, Li Bida ran a long way to pay his respects to him before going to the Subra District. Lukulas fished for a while before he took back the fishing rod and shouted that he had not hung up the bait on it. "My child, you don't have to go through a lot of trouble in the future. Now your future is at a critical time. Why spend time on an old man who even forgets the bait?"

"Actually, the reason I came here is that I deceived you before, no matter what my purpose."

Lukulas was silent for a while and then hung the bait easily, "According to Roman law, if the protected person deceived the master, the master has the right to take back all his property and re-enact him as a slave."

"Yes, if you want, after all, everything I have obtained in Rome now with your help."

"It's okay, I'm waiting for you to tell me in person." Lukulas did not look back. "At last night's banquet, I was actually observing. In my previous impression, Caesar was just a slut and a radical and dangerous person, but now he can join forces with Pompeii and Crasus, which shows that God favors him. Just as people say that when Lukugo of Sparta stepped into the Temple of Delphi, he heard God say to him, 'Lukugo, are you a person or a god? But in our eyes, you are indeed a god'. What is there now more future glory than following a person who is favored by God? My God has exhausted, so don't trust Crasus too much. What's the matter of your secret control of the alliance is what he told me, and Caesar has been protecting you."

Li Bida was stunned. It seemed that before Caesar came last night, he knew everything he had done, but he did not hate himself. Lukulas continued to say: "Although I was distracted by excessive herbs, I was not stupid. Because I suffered from the pain of excitement and fatigue every day, I could only rely more and more on this thing (Li Bida speculated that his master might have a problem with his thyroid gland, which seemed to be inferred from his swollen neck). Under this kind of drinking poison to quench thirst, I have lived.

The sect is about to be exhausted. Although I have entrusted Marcos to you, and you will surely achieve great success and status in the future to protect Marcos, I am still not stupid enough to hope to intervene in politics again before I die, offend people like Caesar and Pompey, and leave the harm to Marcos. So my conversation with Caesar last night was indeed out of sincerity. Children, you do this to push me away from the center of the storm, right? It not only preserves my face, but also allows me to perfunctorily respond to Xiao Jiatu's request, but also pave the way for your own future."

"Yes." Li Bida admitted happily. It seemed that he was still a child who could easily be seen through by him in front of Tuna.

"Go, just ask you to promise that no matter what the situation in the future, you will not hurt Marcos!"

"I will definitely protect this promise."
