Ephesus was covered with marble. On the gorgeous colonnade square near the sea, the tall and thin Brutu was wearing a white robe, and was lined up in a welcome queue with the Jews with a smile on his face. When he saw Li Bida who was getting off the sail line and rowing a boat to approach the pier, he smiled even more happily. He hurriedly stepped forward and helped him onto the shore. Then Brutu and Kassi made two men to sandwich the commander of the Expeditionary Force in the middle.

"Brutu, is this the new etiquette you have learned in the East?" Li Bida gently patted the dagger on his belt, meaning that you two should stop flying into the flames. "The Ptolemy royal family is still on that larger ship, so it is useless to coerce me. If you have any ideas or requests, just tell me."

"We need to borrow a lot of money like the Jewish merchant group behind us, as the use of His Excellency Cicero and my uncle to return to the political arena of Rome, but their leader Joseph said... He said he would do his own initiative to run the fleet of Egypt to Rome every year." After that, Brutu was also a little embarrassed. He was born to be unsuitable for singing this expression, so he pointed back. Li Bida blinked, and saw those Jewish merchants dressed in low-key and luxurious gray textiles nodding to him coldly, and Joseph, who was leading the way, stroked a bunch of golden wheat ears in his hand.

Suddenly, Li Bida understood everything. He seemed to see the chestnut hair and chestnut eyes, shaking in front of him with rudeness and pride. Although he had not seen anyone, Qi Kuohou's various gratitude still surged into his heart, until the tip of his nose, there was a kind of squeezed sorrow and excitement.

But he still remained silent and turned back to Kasio, "I have talked about these entries with the flute player in advance. Don't worry. You must have the money to repay these Hebrew merchants and be able to draw dividends from ship transport. But the prerequisite is to give me a reason to go to war with Egypt, and then give me command of the army, and then let me become the Minister of Finance of Egypt afterwards."

"But the Minister of Finance must be approved by the Temple of Concord!"

"I lent money to Ptolemy for two thousand Tarant, but I never heard of the Temple of Concorde. It's that simple to pay back the debt. Otherwise, everyone would just leave." Li Bida did not give in and saw Brutu's face that kept sweating on his face. For some reason, this noble child was respectful and afraid when he saw Li Bida.

Kasio, who was behind him, smiled and walked around the front, saying, "Of course, we absolutely abide by the spirit of the contract. Besides, we don't want to completely fall out with Caesar now. Everyone takes what they want. If you are your Egyptian finance minister, we will withdraw money and kill back to Rome as soon as possible." After that, Kasio walked to Brutu and patted his companions on the shoulders. He shouted: "Now we should stop these unnecessary disputes for the time being, let the respected Pharaoh get ashore as soon as possible, and then hold a grand banquet in Ephesus to prepare for the victory of conquering Egypt in the future."

Brutu immediately calmed down. In fact, he had no personal disgust towards Li Bida. On the contrary, he was very grateful for his help to his family, so he shook his head and said that he would stay in Ephesus for a few days first. A request for a meeting will come to Rhodes Island, which was about the intimate conversation between Ptolemy Pharaoh and Governor Catto.

"No, I don't agree with the so-called private conversation at all." Li Bida put his hand on his waist and said to Brutu and Kasio, "My troops must be accompanied by the Pharaoh, and I must have the right to participate in the content of the talks. I will take my deputy general and civil guardian. Of course, I will not stop you from meeting you. If you deny it, please send a message to Xiao Katu, and say that we will go to Egypt ourselves. Anyway, I have a notice from the priests of Ficiaris in my hands. As for the ship problem, I can solve it myself."

This bastard-like oriental naturalized man was really hard to deal with. At this time, even Kassieyo smiled helplessly, spread his hands at Brutu, and said that it would be better to hold a banquet first!

At this time, the sun shadow was tilted westward, and several senior slaves from the municipal department held the lit high poles and lit the anointings on the colonnade one by one. Soon the square was covered with bright lights. Ptolemy, who had disembarked, screaming and saying that this was welcome to me. It was really hard to find these anointings. At this time, Brutu, Kassio and other municipal department officials were standing on the steps of the palace waiting. Li Bida and the centuries clang the bells and took the sword in front of the Pharaoh. Cleopatra, accompanied by two maids, rushed forward and ran forward, holding Li Bida's hand intimately.

As a result, just as Li Bida gently shook off Xiao Yan's hand and was about to teach her a lesson that "this effect is not good in public", he suddenly felt as if he was stabbed by the gaze that came from somewhere. He looked up in panic and looked around the palace, as if he could not find the owner of the gaze at all.

At the banquet, Li Bida was also thoughtful and swallowed very slowly while pinching the food. The little Yan-seated queen sitting next to her was a little surprised. She asked carefully if the other party had any thoughts? The well-dressed slave served the main course and placed it in front of Cleopatra. The queen exclaimed, "What kind of dish is this so delicious? Please give the chef a reward of Tarent on my behalf." Suddenly, her arm was held tightly by Li Bida, and the silver rings were ringing with great force. Everyone looked at Li Bida's rude behavior in surprise, but the commander hurriedly spread the dish of black truffle braised chicken in front of Cleopatra and told her not to eat it! Then, the pet cat of Li Bida happened to come, and Li Bida cut off a ball of food and handed it to the cat's mouth. As a result, the cat cried a few times and died in front of everyone.

The entire restaurant suddenly started to riot, and many centurions shouted loudly, drew out their swords, and looked for the murderers who poisoned them everywhere. Ptolemy Twelve stayed in their original position with their mouths open, completely frightened. The Jewish merchants also stood up and shouted in words they didn't understand, revealing that they had nothing to do with the attempted murder.

Only Li Bida rushed out of the gorgeous palace and ran wildly all over the garden until he saw a man wearing a black Hebrew windbreaker with a nervous look, probably looking like a carriage slave of a merchant group, so he rushed up directly. The man ran in panic. The two of them walked through the entire manor, in a corner full of ivy, and in a panting corner, the man was caught up by Li Bida, blocked his thin shoulders, and turned back.

Tear off the turban, Adianna's mare-colored eyes and fair face appeared in front of Li Bida, and she also breathed with ups and downs.

"You've lost weight." This is Li Bida's first sentence, the first sentence that he had been reunited after a long time.
