Augustus Road

In Anthony's luxurious courtyard, several musicians who were sitting in the garden correcting the strings saw their employer's white body quickly passing through the door and colonnade, while the employer's butler Hidden frowned and held his hand. He quickly stepped forward with a coarse cloak, and then Anthony took the clothes to cover his shame. .

"Your little friend has been waiting for you for a long time." Hiden followed his master's footsteps, his tone full of disdain.

In the front hall, a bloated-looking guy was rubbing his hands excitedly. When he saw the "Bacchus" walking in wearing only a blanket, he immediately stood up with a flattering smile.

Anthony kept saying some polite words, and then sat down in front of the gorgeous long table. He drank a few sips of expensive Greek country wine, and then asked the guy what he was doing. The butler Hiden immediately whispered in his ear, " Maybe you forgot that this shameless guy asked you for help when he was in trouble, but I think it’s right to kick him out now.”

"How much do you need, my friend!" Anthony asked the guy immediately.

"This... requires about 250,000 drachmas."

"Two hundred and fifty thousand, that's one decies (a quarter of a million)! Hiden, give it to him." Anthony said nonchalantly.

Hiden shrugged his shoulders. Seeing that he probably couldn't change his master, he actually asked his men to lay out a base of gold coins, which instantly covered the entire living room. In the light of the coins that returned, Anthony and the guy's eyes were After staring at these, Anthony said to Hiden after a while, "Why, there are so few decies." After speaking, he snapped his fingers and said something that made everyone present stunned, "Give me double the amount and give it as a gift." To this friend of mine.”

"Master, you are crazy! Your friend in Rome only gave you a hundred talents before, and you have squandered them all long ago. Now all the money is borrowed by you based on the decoration of this house. Yes, now he actually gave away half a million drachmas to a stranger. Is it really just for the so-called reputation and pride?" After the guy left happily, Hiden spread his hands and walked back and forth in the living room. Pacing, he kept complaining.

As a result, Anthony may have started vomiting profusely before he could finish listening to the housekeeper's complaint. At this time, there was a violent banging sound outside the house, which scared Hiden to death. He thought it was a collective group of creditors coming to violently collect debts. You know The whole house is worth only ten talents, and now its owner Anthony owes two hundred and fifty talents. If those creditors rush in, they will be completely torn apart.

So the servants in the courtyard ran back and forth in panic, and some people held up wooden bars and began to block the crumbling door, and the beating sound from the other side became more intense, causing dust to fall down.

Hiden looked at the door at a loss and then at Anthony who was vomiting in the front hall. He really didn't know what to do.

"Hey, give me the goat's head hammer." Lepida outside impatiently put his hands on his hips and said to the soldiers surrounding him. Over there, Haibrida was beating the five people who had just brought him to the house with a wooden stick. The unlucky guy who came out with a hundred thousand drachmas, the mule and cart were dismantled, and the gold coins were scattered all over the ground, which made the surrounding soldiers' eyes look strangely squinting, "This bastard is doing well here, all of a sudden Just throw out 500,000 drachmas and give it to this second-rate guy. Give me a goat-headed hammer. Hurry up and hit him hard!" When Lepidah saw this scene, he was so angry that he urgently ordered his subordinates to help.

Finally, the door was blasted open, and the slaves scattered like little eight-clawed spiders. Lepidus flicked the dust on the horsehair of his helmet with his fingers, and then walked in proudly. When he reached the front hall, They found Anthony's cloak thrown aside, lying naked on the floor.

"Saab, spray water on his face. Hey, Sabo Kaimus, your legs have been shaking. There must have been a fierce battle with that little Egyptian girl last night, right?" Listen. Sabo gritted his teeth at Lepidah's teasing, moved stubbornly and unnaturally, picked up the can and poured it on Anthony's face.

The other man grunted a few times like a pig in a mud puddle. Lepidus stepped forward and was about to grab him by the collar. Later, he realized that this man had no collar at all, so he twisted his shoulders and asked, "Marco Antony, what are you doing?" How much do you owe me Lepidus?"

"I'm not sure what my debt is, you'll have to ask my butler, his name is Hidden, he's over there."

Lepidus swung up and said, "I know everything you did in this city, Silver Evil Plague God, what a nickname. The only way you can repay my loan now is to serve as a military tribune and go to Egypt to give I'll take down Alessandro."

At this time, Anthony's rolling eyes settled down a little, and then he laughed, hugged Lepidah's neck with all his flesh, and cheered loudly, "My dear, I have been waiting for this day for a long time! "

Everyone present was silent, watching Le Bida being hugged tightly by the naked man.

At the third sentry post the next day, Lepidus and his party quietly took the talisman and used a mule cart to pull Anthony, who was still drunk, towards the outside of the city gate. As a result, Sabokemus was on the writing board that day. He wrote bitterly:

"I really feel a certain shame for the Thirteenth Legion. You should know that the commander of this legion is a general named Peteneus who was fired for corruption. The chief centurion is said to be my commander's relative named Hybrida. I heard that he is an old soldier who has been whipped more than rewarded for violating discipline in the past. There should have been six military tribunes, but there were no noble sons with pure character to serve as them, so they found a famous drunkard named Marco Antony to replace him. I heard that he was still a cur in Rome. Leo's best friend. My God, Jupiter, I really don't know if this poor army, which is put together in a mess, can pass the city of Alexandria. It's really worrying. "

Before he finished carving, he was covered by two slender hands from behind. It was Nefertiti. When she spoke a Coptic dialect quickly and charmingly, Sabo rolled his eyes and trembled violently. He hated whether he was based on some hypocritical morality just now, but facing Nefertiti, he completely turned into a shameless beast.

Just as this beast named Sabokaimus rushed and rammed the moaning Nefertiti, Lepidus was standing silently in front of the long camp and campfire on the Aegean coast under the cold moonlight, looking at the unclear other side, which was the direction of Ephesus, and fell into contemplation of the wrong path in life.
