"I personally think that General, you must help Cicero. We had an agreement with him before. As long as you can help Cicero back, your reputation in politics will immediately rise. A year ago..." Of course, when Demethlius saw Caesar's daughter holding Pompey's hand, he swallowed the sentence behind him hard.

"Boldly say that Julia is my wife now, and Caesar is my brother, what can I cover up?" Pompey sat disapprovingly on the grass under the parasol. He was about to take off the funny branch and leaf ring, but when he saw Julia's coquettish eyes beside him, he could only act and stroke the curly hair on his forehead with his hand and said to Demethrius.

"Yes, what I want to say is that Claudi is getting more and more dynamic and more arrogant now. According to my inquiry, the guy named Libida, who has been making things difficult for you, is now supporting Claudi behind his back. So, even if it is out of the idea of ​​suppressing Claudi's cancer, he must..." Before Demethlius finished speaking, Julia posted a few whispers intimately in Pompey's ear. Then Pompey also laughed, helped Julia up, and told Demethlius that I would accompany my wife to explore the lake. She said she had not seen how the greatest general in Rome ever threw javelins at her prey. She didn't believe that I had hunted lions in the pharaoh's court hunting ground.

"As for Cicero's affairs, of course I will help. Demethlius, it is already evening today. Go to my staff and deputy to discuss this matter. After the agreement is made, you go back to Rome and rescue the poor Ms. Cicero." Pompey put on his wristguard and cloak, said these words to Demethlius, and walked towards the other side with a smile with Julia.

The Jews were behind them. They looked completely helpless: Now as long as you ride into Rome alone, you can inspire all the senators and suppress Claudi. The entire senate will also be grateful to you, but now you are greedy for Julia's beauty. You have missed the opportunity. You must know that Li Bida and Claudi join forces and move quickly.

But now, the Jewish man could only wave his hands and follow the master's instructions to talk to his staff.

As a result, in the early morning of the next day, Cicero fled from the city of Rome by himself. He exiled himself. In the smoke of cooking, the former consul, the hero of the Republic who broke the Catilin conspiracy, walked out of the Roman gate with his wife and a few soft and soft wife. He looked back and saw that the morning light covered the Paladin Mountains in the cold air, and the magnificent group of rich villas on it was still decorated like pearls, but Cicero abandoned his own home. He looked at the beautiful home in the poplar bushes and shed tears again

, but Renchat cheered him up and said, "Husband. What made you so frustrated? Did you lose your honor for the time being or the house? But none of this is fundamental. We are still standing on the land of Rome, and Claudi's authority is limited to the city. You don't have to be afraid of him. You can live in a rental house in the suburbs, and then contact your political friends and officials who admire you from other provinces. In this way, we will return to Rome without a market day, and don't let Claudi's bluffing villain be intimidated."

Hearing his wife's encouragement, Cicero could only hold her hand dejectedly and agree to his wife's request.

But at this time, several people in priestly robes came to the direction of the streets of Apien. Cicero narrowed his eyes and looked at him. These were members of the Brotherhood of Alvar. This priests served the Mother Earth God, which had a very long history, but they also had a function, which was to read out the new decrees of the city of Rome. So when they saw these people, Cicero's heart was sucked. He understood that Claudi would not be willing to just drive him out of the city of Rome.

Sure enough, a priest saw Cicero and stood up and read in front of him the new resolution of the civil guardian, which was to stipulate that no nobles or civilians were allowed to provide meals to Cicero and his wife and family in the radius of five hundred Romans outside the city of Rome. This additional decree will take effect immediately.

After hearing this cruel decree, even Renshat, who had just persuaded her husband strongly, fell on her husband's shoulder and cried bitterly. Then the light flashed. The couple looked up like they saw a comet that marked disaster. They looked up and saw their own mansion on Paladin Hill from afar. The mansion full of tall poplar trees quickly emerged from black smoke and red flames - "Claudi is burning my house! Those lawless mobs...my statue of Minerva."

This statue of Minerva left in his mansion was the object of worship for Cicero. Now it fell on the mud and was stepped on the feet of the mob who set fire. The base of the statue was also engraved with the words "dedicated to the patron saint of Rome. In the flames, the mobs broke through the door of the mansion, plundered the precious vessels and furniture inside, cut down all the trees in the courtyard, and used hammers to destroy the bronze monument with his merits that Cicerob stood in front of the door, instead written by Claudi himself, engraved with new bronze monuments engraved with Cicero's "crimes". Finally, all the fish raised in the fish pond in Cicero were fished out by the mob and turned into food in their belly.

In fact, there were not a single Senate who spoke for Cicero, and even passed an overwhelming resolution, requiring the state to observe silence for this disastrous day. However, Claudi in the Temple of the Goddess of Virtue was furious after hearing this resolution and instructed many mobs to surround the Temple of Concord.

At this moment, the two consuls who have been elected for the coming year also sent their respective entourages to the Avenue of Appian and expressed their opinions to the Cicero and his wife.

Caesar's father-in-law Besso was very polite. He asked Cicero to endure it for a while. After Claudius's anger passed, he would write to Caesar and Pompey to mediate and take him back to Rome. Pompey's confidant Gabinus should have been ridiculed by Cicero for his stupidity and replying to it was extremely rude, saying that the reason why Cicero is today was entirely his own fault.

Cicero couldn't help but think of Pompei from Gabinus's attitude. He said to his wife fiercely and disappointedly that he was let down by Pompei again. My biggest mistake in my life was to mistakenly think that he was my friend.

At this moment, Cicero, who was holding the letter board, felt calm. He comforted his wife and said it was okay. The scope of Claudi's additional decree was five hundred miles, so let's go to Sicily. The Governor Wikilius there was my closest friend, and he would definitely take me in.

Who would have thought that the couple endured hunger? When they walked the next day, Wikilius took the initiative to send a letter to Cicero. There was nothing else in it, just to ask Cicero not to come to his province. "Sicil does not welcome criminals expelled from Rome."
