Augustus Road

Caesar's mother said to Lepidus with a somewhat strenuous tone, "They are all close relatives and closest relatives of the Julius family. I hope you can take good care of them, especially the latter. She is a hard-working person. Her husband died a tragic death, so you should keep her son away from those bad friends, Curio and Claudius."

Facing Anthony's mother's grateful look for help, Lepidah stood in front of her politely and politely described how her son had fulfilled his duties and made many meritorious deeds in the legion. "Now he is the commander of a certain legion in Syria. Yes, my lady. In the future, maybe in the coming year, he will rush to Gaul and work with me in the camp of His Excellency Governor Caesar. As for those bad friends, Mark will have a bright future and will have no chance to come into contact with him. "

Julia over there was so moved that she cried. She held Lepidah's hand and thanked this noble and pure new branch officer for his warmth and thoughtfulness to countless families. Atiya next to her also stared at this scene tenderly, And when Lepidus left, he told him to be extremely careful.

"The same goes for you. The city of Rome is not at peace now. I will hire more gladiators immediately to protect this courtyard, as well as your children and property on Niushou Street. I don't want anyone in the family here to be harmed in any way. "After saying that, Lebida stepped out of the gate and said goodbye to Atiya.

When they walked leisurely to the entrance of the alley, several Ma Bian gathered around them under the leadership of Matthias, "Will the body of the deceased be sent to the Temple of the Goddess of Virtue?" Lepida asked. After seeing Matthias nodding, the group People walked across the fish market and flower market at the intersection of Subura District and Jukora Street, and walked directly towards the Goddess Temple.

After Claudius sounded the battle trumpet and raised a banner on top of the temple of the goddess. In an instant, thousands of professional street gangsters gathered here automatically. Five bloody corpses were placed in the empty space in front of the street. When Lepidus arrived, a familiar detective recognized him. Three of the gladiators were from the Capua school. The owner was named Niela. The murderer of Du Zhiguan should be. It was because of his instructions.

"Then who gave instructions to Niela?" Lepida asked everyone.

Everyone fell silent, most of them coming from the Drainage District and the Avondeen Hills. It is not difficult to recognize individual local snakes, but when it comes to the instigators behind the scenes, they really don't know.

After a while, Claudius next to him was unwilling to wait passively any longer. He clapped his hands and shouted to everyone: "Is it possible that someone assassinated my former adoptive father and the governor of Rome, a person who truly seeks welfare for the people?" , Do you still want to be indifferent? Let me tell you, the streets and security of this city belong to us. If we pretend to be invisible in front of everyone today, then all the battle honors so far will be lost." After hearing what the tribune said. All the hooligans erupted in eagerness to fight. The butchers started fucking, the masons held up their iron bars, and the thieves and prostitutes cheered from behind. The whole temple gathered in an orderly manner. The river surged towards the Capua Gladiator School.

"Do you need my help?" Lepidus smiled and shouted to Claudius, who was standing on the wall and commanding decisively.

"No need, just wait for the punishment of the enemy at sunset. This is related to the reputation of my tribune." Claudius is very ambitious. Of course, this is also related to his interests. Now his The street organization group was not only satisfied with brutal destruction, but also started a new business: collecting industry protection fees, controlling street commerce, infiltrating the operations of various arenas, theaters, brothels and gambling houses, providing security for dignitaries, or fighting His political opponents and so on. Therefore, Claudius's attack on the Capua Gladiator School has this meaning in it.

"So you are gathering with my sister in my family's mansion. We haven't seen you for so many years, but she still misses you very much. She often says that you were her 'close and lovely little shelter'."

After hearing what Claudius said, Lepidus immediately avoided it and took people directly to the Porta Prentina because he had received information that the three legions sent by Caesar to participate in the triumphal ceremony were about to arrive here. Of course, after laying down his weapons at the Rubicon River, he found a secluded private garden in his name, sat down, and asked Matthias and others to inquire at the city gate.

As a result, at sunset, the three legions were stationed outside the city. The commander of the tenth legion, Sexdelius, led several hundred selected soldiers to participate in the triumphal ceremony, wearing brand new and bright cloaks, and began to march in Plin. Lepidus was resting on the ground in the small square in front of Tina's door. After hearing the report, Lepidus quickly dressed up and walked out of the garden. After hugging Cydelius, he said, "Have you settled the soldiers?"

Seeing the former commander, the people elected by the Twelfth and Thirteenth Legions all cheered. Little Hortensius and Tagus came and hugged Lepidus warmly, "That guy Milu Woolen cloth?"

"He is now a left-behind non-commissioned officer in Caesar's camp, responsible for commanding two thousand old guys who are about to retire."

"Is it because he is also an old guy?" Li Bida's words made many soldiers laugh.

"Hey, I have to remind you that you and I have to leave the city immediately. According to the regulations, the chief officers of the triumphal ceremony are not allowed to stay in the city before the ceremony." Sextilius walked over and said, and then Lepidus walked with him to the outside of the city gate, while greeting the soldiers, "Someone will bring you wine and silver soon." Then, they were about to walk out of the Plintina Gate amid cheers, but several members of the Claudius Party ran over with injuries all over their bodies, crying and saying to Lepidus, "We suffered a disastrous defeat in attacking the gladiator school."

What, Lepidus and Sextilius began to look at each other with burning eyes, which seemed to have become the instinctive hobby of battlefield personnel, so they asked the reason.

It turned out that the Capua School was second to none. They had no less than 300 highly skilled gladiators, and they seemed to know everything about Claudius' revenge. After feasting on the fish and meat, these gladiators blocked the street in front of the school. The street hooligans who came to cause trouble could not rush through. These people were fine in bullying the good people on weekdays, but when they fought with real knives and guns, many people lost their courage after seeing the people in front of them being killed to pieces by the gladiators. Claudius also came to the end of the street in person to support them, but more and more gladiators came from the alleys, and slaves provided heavy javelins for Niela. At dusk, the Claudius party was defeated and even the leader Claudius was injured. Everyone supported each other, dragged the bodies of the dead, and groaned and wailed in the Temple of Virtue.

"How did these idiots fight?" Lepidus said this with disdain. (To be continued...)
