Chapter 34

At this time, in the city of Rome, countless residents were running along the streets of Ostia towards the furrows under the city walls. Because today is the birth of Romulus, the founder of the city, the residents poured all kinds of things, wheat, statues, wool fabrics, etc. into the furrows. At this time, the surrounding columns and the arcades were covered with "Akuta" of the battle on the front line of the Gaul. This was also the biggest reason why the citizens came to the furrows to worship. They were extremely fanatical about Caesar's war, believing that the governor was leading the legion to block all kinds of terrifying enemies of Rome in the Black Forest from the Sanctuary of the Furrows. However, the ambiguous attitude of the Senate's special fathers made the people angry.

These people were crowded in front of various huge temples, and forced the priests to ask God's will for the war situation in the province of Gaul. Under the "Akuta" waving everywhere, the representatives of the people began to question: "Why, why! Our legion was obviously just asking those insatiable barbarians to withdraw from the land of Gaul, because they were occupied by barbarians. Julius Caesar was adhering to the justice and virtue of the Republic, but the dirty villains in the Temple of Concord were constantly restraining. The tragedy of countless heroes was created in this way. Then we asked to hear God's view of this war, intestines, birds, sacred chickens, astrology, or Sibil's prophecy, we will wait and see!"

A group of Chaldean astrological officials were ungrateful and divined in front of the people. Then they came up with the result of "a unfavorable battle with the Germans". They were dragged out and beaten by the people. Two or three astrological officials were lifted onto their observation tower and left them fiercely. The whole family was killed and the other two legs were broken. Then "Jinv" and the workshop slaves sang and danced around the astrological officials' body, and also composed poems to mock the dead with their heads and folded backs. "After seeing his own bronze calendar board this morning, he happily said to himself that I am a happy year today, and it is a zodiac auspicious day. Then he brought the key out!"

Next, the people held Akuta and marched along the streets around the square. Claudi immediately released thousands of street hooligans in the Temple of Virtue, participated in the people's team, rushed to the front, "guided and motivated" the people to destroy all the buildings they could see. Soon, the people blocked the Temple of War. The priests here were all shrewd ghosts. They hurriedly released a flock of doves from the cage, and then pretended to chase the direction of the doves flying, and said: "The Roman ancestor Mars's decree that the Roman Republic can achieve brilliant military victory in the east and north this year, and no one or anything can stop this good luck."

"Renus River!Renus River! Egypt! Egypt!" All the people began to applaud and jumped forward, shouting these two place names, because this was really an explanation of the result of the priests of the Temple of War, the Gaul in the north of the Republic, the Germanic region, and the turbulent Egyptian kingdom in the eastern part.

At this time, a gangster who was infiltrated at Claudi took the opportunity to shout, "Marce's divine will cannot be violated. We need an appropriate blood sacrifice to increase divine power to the soldiers on the front line!"

"Blood Sacrifice, Blood Sacrifice!" The people below became frantic and cruel. They collided everywhere, swept half of the Roman city block, arrested two Germanic naturalized residents, plus a merchant from Alexander, Egypt, and beat the three of them to the ground with wooden sticks and bricks. They dragged the feet of the three of them to the center of the square, then uncovered the floor, dug a deep pit, and buried the three unlucky guys alive.

In the crowd, a fair girl in a Roman-style robe, under the escort of several maids and strong men, watched all this with her agile eyes, and said happily to the people around her: "It seems that it is right for us to sneak into the city of Rome. The Republic will soon start a war against my disobedient sister in this crazy atmosphere."

After saying that, she lifted down Akuta on a wall, and reading the Latin text above was no difficulty for Cleopatra, but her face slowly changed, "Lebidaus, the commander of the 12th Legion, was attacked by the despicable Weaver cavalry while accompanying the peace talks of His Excellency Caesar, and was hit by the javelin. Now his life and death are uncertain. We can't bear it anymore. I hope that the Senate and the Citizens' Meeting of the Hundred-Man Regiment will launch a just war as soon as possible and punish the tyrannical Alio Vistas..."

"Life and death are uncertain...life and death are uncertain." Cleopatra's heart was a little nervous, and then immediately ordered her followers to lift her sedan chair, "Run and go to Apiron, yes, my friend Li Bida's villa."

The sedan chair was running at lightning. Before the daylight was over, Cleopatra came down in front of the bronze gate of the small villa. When she was barefoot and tinkling through the short pine trees and reservoir in the front yard, she saw a wail and chaos in the front hall. The servants were kneeling beside Porti. She looked pale and her eyes were closed. The veteran's wife and Porti were holding the Akuta notice that recorded her man's bad luck in her hands, and she was in tears. Today was the day for the veteran's wife to gather. Who would have thought that Porti would see this unfortunate news on the way to come, and came to tell Porti anxiously.

"You, don't panic. I will go to Naples immediately, find the best doctor from my father's palace, and send it to Gaul to treat my friends." At this moment, even Cleopatra didn't know what to say, so he could only say this quickly. Who would have thought that it would have the opposite effect. How could Porti scream in a whine? Then he covered his face and wept again. Now the little queen also cried in vain, and the great cause of restoring the country was about to change.

Little Leo and Corinna, as Porti's instructions, were taken by Pop's wife in the back garden to play. Porti didn't want the bad news to scare the child. She soon became in a daze and muttered to herself: "My man will not die. He is a man with God's favor. He is not a mortal at all, not a mortal at all..."

As a result, in the end, the villa of Apiron was filled with crying. Portia suddenly took Porty's hand and shouted, "It's better, let's hire some armed slaves, I will accompany you to Gaul, don't be afraid, maybe your identity will be limited, but as a woman from the Gatu family, I can lead this team."

"Yes, yes." Porty stood up suddenly and shouted.
