Chapter 9 Omen (2)

Since he could not convince the other party, Xiao Jiatu pushed the veteran aside and ran alone to the junction of the main square and the bull market. His legs were spread apart, and his thin body stretched out his arms to block the front of all the armed slaves. "The political debate in the Republic is not allowed to bleed." This is the most basic principle that Xiao Jiatu adheres to, and this time is no exception. His face is full of sweat and his emotions are very excited, but his face is extremely firm, so the team of veteran slaves who do not recognize this person were also shocked, so he stayed there, waiting for the master's instructions.

"Your Excellency, they are here, there is no time for Pompey." After Li Bida finished speaking, he jumped off the podium. At this time, dozens of casual clothes veterans selected after Caesar returned to Rome. Seeing that Li Bida had taken action, he followed Li Bida one after another, with murderous light in his eyes, clenched the short blade in his hand, and under the leadership of Li Bida, he squeezed out the crowd and walked towards the bull market.

But Xiao Jiatu was still standing still in place, which made Li Bida very annoyed. After all, he was unwilling to let himself bear the charge of killing Xiao Jiatu in the chaos, so he also made a gesture on the battlefield. The casual clothes veterans stopped when they saw this. The main square was still noisy, but the air here was solidified and cold like ice.

At this time, Xiao Katu turned around, and he ran to the podium where Caesar and Bibruce were confronting each other, shouting to the people and the priests, asking him to give himself a chance to refute Caesar's land law proposal. The man, who was not as young as forty, actually cried when he asked, "Please believe me, Caesar has no money to carry out his plan. He is just using illusory credit to deceive everyone. He is essentially a gambler. He will only expose the country to the whirlwind of rebellion." But the people did not listen to this person at all. They completely regarded him as a co-joining party of Bibruce. Many people rushed up and raised Xiao Katu, then took over the crowd with their hands, and finally threw Xiao Katu outside the square, which was equivalent to ruthlessly expelling him.

Li Bida, with all the elders and slaves who were confronting each other, stared at Xiao Jiatu, who was thrown into the soil of the bull market by the people, the incarnation of the republic that was most lonely on weekdays. He still stubbornly climbed up, wiped the blood in his nostrils, and his face was dirty. He was about to rush back to the podium again, but was blocked by the arms of countless people. Xiao Jiatu was not ready to give up at all. He ran and ran straight to another one entering the square.

At the entrance, he squeezed in again and made the same request to the podium. But this time, before everyone could say anything, Xiao Jiatu climbed up on his own. He climbed onto the podium twenty-four feet long, ten feet wide and three feet high. While Caesar was not paying attention, he shouted at the people with his claim: "Caesar is a bastard. He can only cheat money and women. This time he obviously wants to use the law of land to defraud bigger things, that is the power of the state!"

The angry people did not give Xiao Katu a chance to continue talking. Many people in short shirts held iron sticks and flocked to the podium, trying to pull Xiao Katu off and let him splatter blood on the spot. At this time, Bibruce shouted and raised his white robe of the consul, and rushed to Xiao Katu with some veterans, resisted the people's rainy sticks and curses, and dragged Xiao Katu, who was still scolding Caesar, to the venue to save his life.

Finally, when he saw Xiao Jiatu, he was finally "invited" to the scene. Caesar on the podium also waved his hand to express his gratitude to the people and asked them to follow the procedures and start voting for this plan. An old armed slave howled, drew his sword, and stabbed Li Bida at the opposite side for the first time. However, Li Bida let the sword in his hand pierce his throat directly, and the blood flew out like an explosion of magma, then kicked the other party into the mud and sucked it.

A bloody sword blade was released. With this signal, both sides, whether they were slaves of the elders or veterans who volunteered to work for Caesar, showed off their weapons and launched fierce fighting and fighting. The people gathered in the square screamed in panic and stepped on each other and ran away. The elders, including Cicero, who originally occupied a corner, took over Xiao Gatu and Bibruce, who were covered in blood and smelly feces, shouted loudly while they were about to fight.

Unexpectedly, at this time, thousands of guys appeared around the streets around the entire square. Many of them were wearing legion sweatshirts, showing terrifying tattoos, shouting horns, and walking towards the target of the Temple of Concorde, "It's Pompei's veterans!" Some veterans recognized the identities of these people in a daze. The veterans were specially selected by Pompei. Although it was a 10-to-1 ratio, they also gathered thousands of people and covered the entire Roman street. They rushed like a tide, blocking the veterans who were originally going to escape from the square again.

"Everyone, your purple and white robes are so conspicuous. Why should you adopt the retreat tactic at such a critical moment? This will give the public a bad impression. Please go back to the podium. I will talk to Caesar now. I will be responsible for your safety. Don't worry." In front of the veteran, Pompey walked out of the Villa Alba where he had been hiding for a long time, following the casual clothes of the General Zuo and his staff, and said to Little Gatu, Cicero and others, "Please walk in the middle of my team."

Pompei's speech and arrival made Cicero feel extremely excited and confident. It seems that he still has to rely on him to persuade Pompei to come and save the scene! The same is true for most other veterans, among which Bruce changed into clean clothes and asked some followers to give him sticks and scepters. Everyone made a comeback and returned to the main square.

At this time, the mob of the veterans composed of their own slaves had been defeated by Li Bida and the casually-dressed veterans. Not only did they not rush into the square, but they threw down many corpses. Then Li Bida pulled off the nameplate from a corpse and walked into the terrified crowd. He shouted loudly that the slave was raised by a certain corpse, and the purpose of the fight was to be detrimental to the consul and to hinder the passage of the Land Law proposal. The direct orders were Cicero, Gatu and Bibruce!

"This is a nude slander." When Cicero, wearing a long robe and under the escort of countless Pompei veterans, refuted Li Bida's accusations arrogantly, the entire square began to chaotic again. Pompei's veterans were unstoppable and soon occupied the colonnades and steps of the podium and the temple. The final situation was that the people were circled at the outermost point, while the veterans were circled at the slightly inside, and hundreds of veterans were circled at the inner point, and the core was Caesar, Bibruce, Pompei, Gatto, Cicero and others who were on the podium.
