Chapter 9 Rufio (Part 2)

Cleopatra glared at the palace guards fiercely, and then her eyes turned to Lufio, who was standing under the steps.≥

"Dear General Lufio, how did I treat you and your tribes over the years?" Queen Yan asked in a lazy and charming tone.

"Yes, very well, my three legions are treated well. Although His Excellency Caesar has passed away, the noble spokesperson of the Goddess of Isis, the female pharaoh, still withdraws a considerable portion of the annual taxes to support the soldiers and their families." Lufio is a general who has been in Egypt for several years. His slender figure, tall cheekbones and short hair are different in the Egyptian court. He replied fluently at this moment--although his outfit has not changed, he has long abandoned the Latin character of telling the truth. He knew that if he wants to have a stable seat in the Iposian court, he must pretend to be himself.

"Then why should your three legions go back to Italy? The soldiers have already enjoyed coins with the avatars of Caesareon and me, and many have also found beautiful Egyptian women as their wives. I also provided them with camps and dormitories. You should now advance and retreat with the Hormahi Legion to serve us mother and son." As he said, Cleopatra held his child's hand pity and lovingly, then stroked his golden pendant, hugged him on the throne beside him, and said to Lufio, "Look at him, is he exactly the same as your master, Caesar?"

"Yes, my loyalty to Caesareon has been reflected many times in my oath." Lufio hurriedly saluted.

"Then you will take three legions and the Hormahi legion to the desert border. Don't ask that bastard Libidaus to come into Egypt. If you have the conditions, kill him." The Queen of Cleopatra suddenly said this coldly.

Lufio widened his eyes. He raised his eyebrows on the spot, then pretended to be confused and said, "Do I have the right to ask why this is done?"

"It's very simple. If you don't want your master's blood to have the same fate as that young Caesar, then do it." Cleopatra on the throne raised his fingers full of gold jewelry, "No, you have to do this. Now Egypt is the country you should be loyal to."

"The same was true for Gabinus's legion back then. They thought they were Egyptians, but most of them died later under the attack of my master and the high priest. Please forgive me. My Majesty Pharaoh. I think my duty is to protect Caesarion's comprehensiveness, but now he is not threatened. The High priest just wants to meet him, just as normal as the elders want to meet the younger generation. This is also the consensus reached by me with the court guards in advance. Yes, His Majesty Pharaoh, if you and Caesarion go to the border to meet the high priest with a friendly attitude, there will be no problem." Lufio talked freely. He was originally a liberation slave in Caesar's portal. Because of his cleverness and cleverness, he not only gave him freedom, but also entrusted him to stay in Alexander and supervise the three legions.

But Lufio had already had a deep friendship with Li Bida. Li Bida, the people that Caesar appreciated, had already extended a hand of buying. Lufio has always called the other party "Master of Father and respectful teacher" in his letter. As early as when Li Bida and Young Caesar joined forces to fight against the Pompei Party and the Republican Party, Lufio hurriedly expressed his loyalty to the high priest, saying whether he could command three legions and join the battle formations between Greece and Xiaoya, but Li Bida replied to him with a steady reply, "You are not only responsible for the three legions, but you need to pacify the entire Egypt, so it is best not to move."

Now that the overall situation is settled, Lu Feio is even more anxious. If he does not show any more, then when the rewards for the future major business, wouldn’t he have to hand over the army and lose his glory as a free citizen of Julius’s family, and for the rest of his life?

So this time, while the high priest was sending a letter to Queen Episode, he secretly sent a secret letter to him and another eyewitness, Theotusus, in advance, so the two of them immediately became busy to prompt the high priest to meet with the female pharaoh, because in Lufio's vision, the Republic would soon annex Egypt, and doing so would definitely be a great achievement.

What I said in the palace today is that Lu Fei's draft has long been said to her.

But the queen was so angry that she trembled all over. She angrily scolded Lufio for her ungratefulness, but the other party smiled and turned her ears away. Then she turned her eyes to the two veterans, Sekbehu and Selapion, but she still received no response.

Then she stretched her eyes for help further, but the palace guard Diotus interrupted her fantasy, "Even the God's Tomb Guard and the River Guard will not shoot bows and arrows at the high priests, especially the leaders of Nom and treasurers of various countries. So, your Majesty, go to the meeting. With the friendship between the high priest and you, he will never harm you."

Finally, His Majesty the Majesty covered her face miserably and sobbed in tears. Could it be that she was destined to be a tool for making money and resources in Li Bida in his life, and could only be his ally and vassal to survive? She couldn't help but remember the conversation between her and Li Bida in the palace courtyard of the Bay of Naples when she was very young. Now she thought it was extremely shameful - how young and frivolous she was, she actually said such a grand goal, but now she has become the smoke of the past. The Curia attendant who looked at her at the time, now has a whole world and has become the last chess player in the power competition game.

"Egypt, Egypt, God of Horus! Open your eyes and see, now there is no man standing above the entire court." Cleopatra shouted loudly, frightened Caesarion so much that he stood up, while the eunuchs and courtiers below continued to turn a deaf ear and be timid. Are they puppets in my eyes, or are I a puppet in their eyes?

In the early morning of the Epos Palace, Cleopatra was covered with a silk robe and stood in front of it. The red sun rose slowly in the city and the ocean. Countless servants and soldiers behind her were holding mules, horses and camels, busy preparing for the "meeting" on the border. Empress Yan looked at the child holding her hand and couldn't help but shed tears again. She understood that everything was over and everything was different. Previously, Li Bida would refuse her courtship for her own interests and give her to Caesar. So to this day, Li Bida would of course deal with her child Caesar to eliminate the threat of the future.
