"They despise me as a nouveau riche, but I despise them worthless; they humiliate me with my social status, and I am even more ashamed of their scandals." -Mallor's ridicule of the noble elders

Xiao Katu walked to his nephew, lowered his head and whispered a few soft words to him, and then politely said to Li Bida, who was sitting on the couch, and said to the Pharaoh: "Since the commander agreed to the second half, I have nothing to say. I authorize you to send troops to Cyprus, but I hope that Kasio and Brutu will follow you, especially Brutu, he must follow you to the island and siege the capital Salamis."

"Safe, I still have this kind of ethics. Since it is clear that the spoils are divided by half, I will never bully our philosopher by owning the legion, and I am also from my friend Brutu." Li Bida said the words with a righteous and honest look.

"But you, uncle..."

Brutu's words were interrupted by Katu's hand, saying, "The political districts of the Cyprus province are too weird, including Byzantium in the corner of the Daerdanos Strait. They have just been granted the identity of Latin colonial city. It is said that Rome immigrants and Greek indigenous peoples have also had conflicts during this period. In addition, the difficult Thracian chief kings, Asher will accompany me there to mediate. So Dilimer and Cannedis will follow you and keep the account book and register any seizures." After that, his uncle pressed his hand heavily on Brutu's shoulder, "Do it well, you can do it."

This was a big deal. Brutu took a deep breath, and said in a trembling voice that I must do my best. Xiao Jiatu's move was profound, and Li Bida certainly understood that he wanted to get plenty of money to return to Rome, but he was unwilling to damage his reputation. In addition, since his nephew and he were good friends, he would not make things too difficult.

But Li Bida's judgment was only a moment, and his eyes quickly captured a new situation. After Gatu mentioned that Cannaidis followed his nephew to the island, Munagius, who was holding a sponge stick in the corner, had a noticeably complicated look.

Humph, that's right. The Romans valued the protection relationship between the master and the guest most. On the one hand, this contract requires the guest to serve the interests of the master unconditionally. On the other hand, the host is strictly prohibited from being sorry or deceive the guest. Even in court, the guest can completely rely on this identity relationship to refuse to testify against the master's crimes. On the contrary, the same is true. Although Munajius is a not-so-small official now, when Xiao Jiatu is constipated, he still needs to prepare laxatives for the master and wipe his butt with a sponge stick for the master. However, Li Bida believes that Munajius believes that doing all this is not psychologically burdening, and he trusts his deep feelings with the master.

But when Gatu asked Cannadis to go to the island, Munagius couldn't stand it anymore. Why? Why? What's the relationship between me and my master, what's the relationship between him Cannadis? Does the master no longer trust me? I feel sour and sour, and I'll show my feelings between my brows vividly.

Humph, there are flaws.

But now is not the time to provoke. Li Bida coughed twice and said that there is another thing to discuss, that is, the 100 million Seth lent that the Jewish merchants immediately lend you to you, and that must have 30 million to allocate the military expenses of our 13th Legion.

Xiao Katu shrugged and said no problem.

"Also, Ptolemy of Cyprus must die, and no priest of the Temple of Love will be given to him, so that the republic can save long-term expenses."

At this time, Pharaoh nodded to Xiao Jiatu, meaning that Li Bida's request was indeed his plan. Brutu took the opportunity to add weight, "Then I also have the right to accompany you to Egypt to supervise the inventory and auction of spoils."

The two sides reached a package of agreements "very readily".

On the ship back to Ephesus, under the sail of sunlight on the ocean, Li Bida quietly squatted in front of the Ptolemy father and daughter, and asked quietly, "Dear Pharaoh, you must tell me the truth, that is, is there a great amount of wealth on the island of Cyprus?"

Pharaoh and Cleopatra looked at each other, and then Xiao Yanhou took the initiative to speak, "This is the reason why my uncle betrayed his father. When he was young, he suffered a national disaster (how many times is it now?). He went to his uncle's kingdom to take refuge, carrying a large amount of gold, silver and treasures. Later, in order to restore the country, he left these property on the island of Cyprus and went to the King of Bendu to request reinforcements."

Of course, of course, I heard my master Tuna talk about this story before, so I realized that the things involved in this island war will not be simple.

"But later after my father's restoration (that's the time it's been restored?), my uncle coveted the property, detained it and embezzled it, and began to confront his husband. This was also the fundamental reason why he and my sister were in the same camp and were enemies with Rome." It seemed very difficult for Cleopatra to say these words. After all, she understood that now, whether it was Xiao Katu or Libida, they began to care about this treasure that should belong to my Egyptian royal family, even if they defeated Cyprus... "My friend Libidaus, I do not deceive this property, which is enough for seven thousand Tarant!"

Now, Li Bida's eyes were straight, and the Adam's apple rolled up and down quickly. Seven thousand Tarant, 7 thousand Tarant, this is probably the essence of the Egyptian Ptolemaic dynasty for hundreds of years. It was because of the loss of this wealth that Ptolemaic planned to expedition to Cyprus in order to avenge revenge and began to start from scratch to extort from scratch, and was bombed away for the second time. As long as I could have this money, even if I really divided it equally according to the agreement with Gatu, it would be 3,500 Tarant. God, I will be side by side with Caesar, Pompei and Crassus! Gatu is willing to hand over this money to the treasury and get political capital as he pleases, but when I have this money, I took my wife and Porti and did not return to Gaul. They all went to the Kingdom of Adiana in Xiaoya to develop. In ten years, I will be able to compete with Rome. What's the crime of treason? It's funny?

But he looked at Pharaoh, then looked at Queen Little Yan, and hesitated again, especially the pitiful look of Queen Little Yan, and thought again. It is logical that Pharaoh would not have told him this shocking secret, but since Cleopatra said it, he must have no choice but to put all his hopes on him. Yes, it would be better to fish for a long line, abandon 3,500 Tarant and win secret control of a powerful country. Choose and choose, and it is another multiple-choice question.

"Saturture, the only thing I feel dissatisfied is that I can only get half of the gold and silver for His Majesty Pharaoh, but it should be enough to rebuild the country and pay off Caesar's debt." Li Bida's final answer made Pharaoh cry on both cheeks and dyed the powder. He held the commander's hands tightly and expressed his trembling statement, "Li Bidaus, in the future, you will not only be my finance minister, but also become the guardian of my son and daughter."
