Chapter 25 Surena's Triumph (Part 2)
Three days later, Hellod announced his national condolences because the great general Surena died young due to excessive drinking at the victory banquet.
Su Leina was only thirty years old and had not even left her suitable descendants. All the remaining children of her concubines were executed secretly and the family power was eradicated. Not long after this news spread among the Rong clan, the elders and the nobles. Everyone naturally understood the real inside story, but they were buried in their hearts and dared not say much.
Everyone naturally remembered that when Surena passed through the ruins of Babylon, the true meaning of the delirium that the madman said was the true meaning of the delirium when he passed by the ruins of Babylon. It turned out that this allusion came from "Aesop's Fable". The big bag that Surena rode on a horse was placed on his chest, just like someone else's defects, which he could see clearly. The madman was mocking him for "the bag behind him", that is, his own dangers and defects, but he turned a blind eye to it. This is true for people's hearts.
Afterwards, there is philosophical saying, but beforehand, there is delirium.
Not long after, Surena's head, together with Crasso's, was sent to Libida's military camp. Libida took all the centurions to mourn, put Crasso's head into a box of gold, and vowed to bury it in the temple of Apollo in Delphi on the way to the army, because at that time the greatest temple of the ancestors of Crasso was the gods. However, the body of the former consul could no longer be found.
Then, Libida's entourage included Surena's head in another box, which was the bargaining chip requested by the Parthian Emperor and the greatest honor for his expedition. He was about to ask the clerks to write a "legacy", how he defeated Surena's army, how he killed the other party's head and avenged the governor. As for Surena's real cause of death, Libida would only mention it without mentioning it. The conflicts recorded with Parthian were handed over to later scholars to sue for the pen and mo.
At this time, Li Bida was suddenly shocked and suddenly saw two prisoners standing at the lower head, Pasianus and Rossius, who were also released by Herod. The former was used to be his substitute because he looked like Crassu and paraded in the city of Seleulia. The latter was a clerk who was accompanied by Crassu, but now the eyes of these two people looking at Li Bida were extremely strange.
Li Bida looked at the two of them and his body was trembling violently. The generals thought that he had seen this veteran who looked like the governor, and believed it. He was so excited that he couldn't control himself.
But only he knew in his heart that he was trembling because of what, but when he calmed down, he questioned Pasianus in public, and Surena asked you what he had done.
Pascianus said calmly that the other party asked me to pretend to be a real governor and consul, and I learned Greek awkwardly. And survived by acting.
"It's clumsy? My children's in-laws, the chief centurion, Hebrida, had fought in Greece with Little Ya for almost ten years, and could not even speak three Greek words. You are so talented." Libida said with a smile, and then Pascianus laughed, then Rossius, and then Libida asked to retreat all of Zo. Then he gently introduced the two to the back of the curtain.
In the red curtain, Li Bida suddenly held Pasi'unus's hand and said in a deep voice, "It's you..."
The other party giggled and said that he had agreed to Li Bida's judgment. Rosseus next to him was also happy, but Li Bida was still a little hesitant. Because this was a huge thing after all, and it was a real legend, so he carefully asked Pasianus some topics about seals and cloak styles to confirm something. Pasianus answered fluently, completely correct, and in the end he lowered his head and fiddled with the gray hair on the top, which finally made Li Bida convinced, because it was rare that there were three hair spinners on it, which was also very familiar to Li Bida.
"Wait, I will give you all the seal, cloak and the box of the contract documents." Li Bida turned around happily and walked to the wardrobe under the curtain window. Then he habitually tapped the counter three times, then lifted the linen curtain hanging on the cabinet, held the exquisite little box in his hand, and walked slowly towards the other party's body, very solemn, just like a virgin holding flames and holy water in the Kitchen Temple. Pasianus casually stretched out his hands to pick it up, but he quickly
His body stiffened, and he stood there with his mouth wide open. Li Bida secretly shaped sharp daggers with water droplets from under the skirt armor pierced deeply into his lower abdomen under the box, stirring it a few times, and then sent it with his hands a few times. Pascianus's back suddenly raised several times, then he grabbed Li Bida's collar with gasps, trying to say something, but the other party pushed it away coldly, then he turned to the ground and no longer breathed.
Rosseus was about to shout something, but the curtain was lifted. Hebrida rushed in with several Spanish swordsmen and stabbed a few swords on his back and waist, and he was suddenly filled with horror.
"Where are the entourages of the Governor?" Li Bida gently wiped the blood-stained blade with a sponge and asked Highbrida.
"I gave all generous severance payments and went to Antioch. They had no reason to stay in this ghost place." Hebrida's reply made Li Bida very satisfied. He pressed the shoulders of his children and in-laws and whispered, "This is a very easy explanation. It is better to become a legend. It is best to quit drinking three to five years later, but you have to quit drinking recently, and no one else can reveal any news. The quit drinking fee is 100,000 Drakhma."
"This damn guy is a lower class man living in a rural Italian country. After being captured, he dared to perform such a nasty drama to insult the heroic spirit of the Republic and the Governor. He dared to blackmail me just now, and I executed him as a commander." Li Bida took his sword into the sheath and said to the swordsmen behind Hebrida. Anyway, they didn't understand Latin words very well. Then the master raised five fingers and they smiled happily, which meant that each of them had an additional allowance of fifty dinars.
Killing a veteran and documentary who was captured and treasoned before would not cause any disputes or doubts in the legion. Moreover, these subordinates were all his own people. Of course, Li Bida could trust them, but he couldn't fall asleep that night. He had asked someone to dispose of the body of "Pasianus". Without being as cumbersome as nailing to the cross, he would just mix with the rest of the dead soldiers, burn them on the crematorium, and buried them on the spot.
