"The monarch should have virtue, but he should have the skill of evil deeds." - Machiavelli

As a result, Cicero said to the captain of the cavalry, "I want to see your commander, I want to praise your righteous deeds. Of course, you can now persuade the thirteenth legion guarding the fortresses of the city, so that the Senate and the people will be grateful to you further." Then, he was afraid that the captain of the cavalry was not an Italian, so he repeated this passage in Greek. Cicero was really coincidental. The captain of the cavalry was indeed a Greek Thessalian. After hearing this, he looked at Cicero with an incredible look and probably thought that this guy and the others were completely crazy, so he raised his whip and shouted, "I repeat it again, you must leave here immediately, because the martial law order takes effect at this time."

"You should call your commander to come."

But before Cicero finished speaking, several cavalrymen looked at each other, and one of the rude cavalrymen from Shannan Gaul roared directly, "If you wander here again, kill you, go back to your house, and wait for the orders of Libidaus and Young Caesar."

With this, the subsequent infantry formations also came over. They all came with pickaxes and branches, carrying helmets, kettles and backpacks, and singing songs. When Cicero heard "our cavalry commander riding a horse", his face changed violently. His wife and brother quickly pulled him over and told him to leave the square before the group of people had identified his identity. Because Li Bida was about to arrive.

So Cicero had to climb into the sedan chair and left in a hurry, and the other veterans also scattered in a hurry. After half a night, everything proved that what those people shouted before were really rumors. Li Bida was wearing a blue wool cloak, and Young Caesar was wearing a white cloak. Under the escort of the infantry and caesar, he came to the square. Polo, the chief centurion of the Thirteenth Legion, ran out of the queue quickly. He saluted the two of them one after another, and then Li Bida asked, "This is the second time that your army has executed the orders of the Martial Law City of Rome. I believe it is easy to be able to do it. Are everyone's families okay?" After receiving a positive answer, Li Bida asked again, "Is there any veteran running away?"

"I escaped a few, but most of them were stopped in front of the level. They didn't even disguise. They only carried carriages, mule carriages and countless servants. They kept telling my subordinates about their lintels and glory." Polo said sarcastically.

Li Bida nodded, then he looked at the young Caesar beside him and said, "Send a team immediately to take all the families from the Kitchen Temple, and notify the chief virgin Ms. Lishelia, and the inspector Cicero and His Excellency Bisso to gather with all the senators tomorrow." Then, he stayed in front of the synagogue, watching the soldiers walking in and out of the street with torches, "Can you start directly, guardian?" Octavian asked with some impatient mood.

"Don't worry, before clearing the Senate, force it to grant us the power to clear it. The Senate is such an institution, and there will be a good show immediately. You have to see how a person uses his own blood to forge sharp weapons, and then use it to kill himself." Li Bida slowly persuaded Octavian, who was slightly impatient, and then nodded in understanding. "What we should be more concerned about now is that we have already been constrained by the Senate enough before."

"That's right." Li Bida looked like a childish expression.

Then, Octavian took a group of cavalry back to the arena in the Quinta Plain, while Li Bida, Leo and others came to Villa Pulaima, because Porti and the women returned safely from the Kitchen Temple.

"Please forgive me, please forgive me, the double-headed rotating system implemented by Caesar and me. It was his turn to monitor the military camp and service tonight, so I am selfish and come back to see the woman and daughter in advance. In addition, I will bring back my friendship with Marco Anthony and my child Leo." Li Bida, who walked into the door, immediately hugged and kissed Porti, Corinna, Fulivia, Claudia, and Atiya who rushed up, told them the whole situation in one breath. Then Li Bida half-kneeled in front of his adoptive father Marcos and kissed the back of his hand, "May your body be as healthy as the mountains and forests."

Then, Leo also came over and greeted Marcos. Vivia snatched it and hugged him tightly. At this time, Octavia was holding the pillar and standing in the corner lonely. When Li Bida stared at her for a while, he realized and hurriedly bowed to him to signal.

"Octavia is also at the age of getting married." Li Bida asked Atiya and said as she walked into the hall.

"I have promised her to Phillips's son, Little Philip. Now he is a civil servant like Leo, and he has no blood relationship with Octavia."

"Oh." Li Bida replied lightly, and then he asked Porty, how safe is Portia?

"It doesn't matter. A few days ago, I sent all the sword-fighting slaves who originally protected Pulaima to defend her house. The gangsters and rioters could not harm her."

"That's good, everything is fine, but listening to the women, there will be a huge storm in Rome immediately, and the best way for everyone to avoid being hurt by the storm is to close the house and not go out." As he said this, Li Bida stood in the center of the hall. He was the master in the army and naturally he was undoubtedly the master in the family.

He decided to rest in his house until the fourth mail, and then go to the barracks to make a deposit. He smelled the paint on the walls, the flowers and plants in the courtyard, and the smell of his children coming and going. It was always warm and comfortable. When he sat on the couch and hugged Porti and chatted, he found Leo and Paruma standing at the door. So as parents, they called their son over and asked him what doubts he had and why he didn't rest yet.

"Papa, my confusion is simple and difficult, that is, my friendship with Turinus is stronger, or my family affection with Parumma is more reliable." What Li Bidawan didn't expect was that his son Leo would have such a topic, and then Leo continued, "Of course Papa, I meant not to give up and make a decision, but I vaguely feel that there might be such a day in the future, and I need an accurate answer. Please forgive my cowardice and indecision."

"Your family affection with Xiao Geizi is more reliable." Li Bida replied directly and seriously, "Little Geizi."

Hearing this answer from his adoptive father, Paruma immediately tilted her body and knelt down, "I am your son and your slave, father, brother and mother. My life is given by you. Whenever you need it, I will return it to you without hesitation."
