Augustus Road

"Hurry up and leave." Lepidus said this to Queen Elizabeth quickly, as if she was not a queen from a foreign country, but an enemy of Rome. "My intelligence shows that Aetius is the brains behind the hostile group. Brutus and Cassius are the vanguard thugs, they are here in a hurry just to make a fuss about you and Caesarion."

Then, before the other party could say anything, Lepidus said again, "Let's go quickly! I will definitely do what I promised you. Don't leave by boat from Baie Beach again. You bring so many servants, just It will attract people's attention. Now take Charmion and Iras in a light carriage. I will send ten sword fighting slaves to escort you. Take a light carriage directly to Brindisi, and then leave by boat. Everything will be ready. We will definitely find out next year.”

After finishing speaking, Lepidus immediately left the room and threw the still a little confused Queen there, with Peppa following closely behind him.

Amidst the sound of the trumpet, when Lepidus had just jumped on the carriage and was about to instruct his men to drive away Queen Elizabeth's colorful ship, smoke and dust rose on the road in the town over there. As expected, Cassius and Brutus also brought many retinues. Arriving in a light car. "Pepiya, you sit in that gorgeous car with curtains." Lepida said calmly, so the train of Peppa's skirt jumped, and with the help of several maids, she quickly followed what the other party said. He did as he was told, and then the attendants around him lowered the curtain. "Oh, this should be Ptolemy of the Allied Powers. A ship presented to His Excellency Caesar for his triumphal performance. Unfortunately, it arrived a little late." Lepidus on the shoulder replied calmly.

"Maybe I'm late?" Kaxiyo continued to smile. Then he stared at the small car in the queue that was equipped with hanging curtains and gold sculptures, and he understood something about it.

At this time, Brutus, who was behind him, also came over and said in a businesslike tone, "I have not heard of any complaints about veterans' estates in Campania. Lord Aetius could not find a copy of the case file, so Lepidus, why did you come here to judge?" In this way, Lepidus put the responsibility on the bald man. Then Brutus mustered up the courage and stopped fighting Lepidus. Instead, he walked aggressively to the vehicle with his staff and shouted, "Let me see, what else did the Ptolemaic royal family send? Women?" , or a child?" Then he lifted the curtain. There was a scream from inside, which made Brutus shrink back. Then he took a closer look and saw that there was clearly a beauty dressed as a Roman noblewoman, but it was definitely not Cleopatra, but Caesar's ex-wife Peppa.

"What are you doing, you bastards!" Lepidus shouted angrily, "Aetius is the governor of the capital, Brutus and Cassius are the law officers for the coming year, and the current governors and treasurers of the provinces. Now you Instead of dealing with the complaints during the celebration in Rome, this group of people followed me to this bay and clung to the ship presented by the Ptolemaic royal family - I understand, you are trying to find the female pharaoh, right? Are you trying to create a scandal about Caesar? How much do you hate the dictator, but you don’t care about his kindness to you? Brutus, you are still a real Roman!”…

These words directly made Brutus blush. He didn't say a word and was at a loss where he was. Cassius was smarter. He immediately took a bite, pointed at Lepidus and said, "Expatriate Lawyer, now you and the dictator's predecessor Wife, what is the purpose of meeting at Baie’s Bay Villa?”

"I was commissioned by the censor, His Excellency Bisso, and I was originally going to carry a personal letter to find Lepidus, because Lepidus was the guardian of Turinus, and Bisso was the custodian of the dictator's will. , they had some matters to discuss regarding the dictator's legacy, but when I went to Prema, I learned that His Excellency Lepidus had already visited the Campania area to handle the confidential affairs entrusted by the dictator, so I took a light sedan chair. This is when I caught up." Peppa made a quick stab at this moment, and then she was about to cry. "Please don't hurt my reputation anymore. Because of my previous abandonment, my fate in this life has been completely eliminated. I hit rock bottom and my beloved man left me or died. Fortunately, the dictator’s generous wife was still willing to take care of me, so I acted as a personal messenger in return. Even if I appealed to Caesar, I believe he would To restore my innocence and to Sir Lepidus."

At this time, several people who came were speechless after hearing the news. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Aetius hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a few words to the two men, "Don't be so proud, Your Excellency, the Expatriate Lawyer!" Cassius said this viciously to Lepidus who was sitting on the chariot, and then turned and left. Only Brutus walked up to him, bowed and apologized and said, "I'm sorry, my former friend." He retreated with a heavy expression.

"Listen to Cassio, it's best not to hear rumors about this matter later in the city of Rome, otherwise I will truthfully report today's situation to the dictator." Lepidus also responded with a smile, But it also means that on the other hand, as long as the other party doesn't speak out easily, the matter will be a thing of the past.

When she saw the group of people returning in defeat, Peppa sat on the cushions of the carriage and breathed a sigh of relief. Then she suddenly remembered something and asked Lepidus softly, "What did you just say about Julius Caesar?" Is the prediction true?"

In the sea breeze, Lepida looked at Peppa Ya, and nodded after a long time, saying, "Everyone, get ready! It seems that a new generation and war are coming."
