Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the summer, Cyprus has a warm climate and pleasant scenery. Merchant ships from all over the port are busily shuttled on the docks, transporting goods to various parts of the Mediterranean.  Just at noon, three warships flying Roman eagle flags appeared outside the port, which attracted many people to stop and watch.  The battleship sailed smoothly onto the pier under the skillful operation of the sailors, and a large number of Roman legionnaires stepped ashore in full force. Among them was a handsome young man with calm eyes and a resolute expression.  He was Caesar's adopted son Octavian.  Yang Rui followed him up. He took the reins of the war horse handed over by his subordinates and said to Octavian: "We are here. It seems that the long journey has not made you tired." Octavian also  He flew on his horse and said to Yang Rui: "Caesar has given me such an important task. No matter how tired I am, I have to put it aside first." Yang Rui followed closely and said with a smile: "It seems that Zhu  The people of the Lius family are all fanatical people." Octavian waved his riding whip, spurred the horse, and said, "That's not bad at all." Halfway through, the guards of the Governor of Cyprus blocked Octavian's way.  He jumped off his horse and saluted the young man deeply and said: "Welcome to Cyprus, Lord Octavian." Octavian glanced arrogantly at the governor at his feet and asked: "Have you found the person?" The governor said with a look of embarrassment.  : "Cyprus has a large population. If you really want to find him, it will take some time. Besides, it is just a rumor, maybe the person is not here." Octavian said: "Caesar's order, no matter where Pompeii is hiding, even outside Rome  He must be found in the area. He is a traitor to Rome and must be brought to justice." The governor stepped aside and said, "Since you are tired from the journey, you still want to go to the palace to rest. It would be best to start again tomorrow.  "Choose." Octavian ignored the governor, left him behind, and headed straight to Cyprus. On the way, he asked Yang Rui: "Can you guess where Pompeii is hiding? I heard from my adoptive father that you are omnipotent."  Yang Rui smiled and said, "Of course I know where he is, otherwise I wouldn't have asked Caesar to let you come here." "Really?" Octavian was surprised and asked, "Why did you ask Caesar?"  Let me do it?" Yang Rui said: "Because I don't want such a credit to be taken away by others, I want it to be remembered on your head." Octavian continued to ask: "Why do you do this?" Yang Rui said:  "Caesar has been hesitating about the choice of his heir. It is difficult for him to choose between you and Antony. I am doing this so that he can firmly give you the position of heir." Octavian was silent for a moment and then  Asked: "Why me?" Yang Rui said: "Because this world needs a person like you to rule, not a warrior like Antony." Yang Rui saw a glimmer of light flashing in Octavian's eyes, but  This look was fleeting, and the young man's expression immediately returned to calm. He smiled and said: "Are you very excited? After all, not everyone can get the highest power." Octavian asked again: "Are you really?  "Can you do it?" Yang Rui laughed and said, "Let's go, my son, Pompeii is in Cyprus now. Let's catch him and we can return to Rome tonight." Roman legionnaires suddenly surrounded him.  He entered a tavern in the city, and all the Greeks and other people who were drinking and having fun were kicked out.  When he saw Pompeii sleeping in the low guest room, he was awakened by the Roman soldiers who broke into the door. After a brief panic, he regained his composure. The dusty indifference in his eyes made him look extremely old.  .  Octavian walked into the room. At this time, Pompey was sitting on the bedside slowly drinking wine. Looking at the young man in front of him, he looked at the young man for a while and said with a smile: "Octavian, you have grown so big.  The last time I saw you, you were still a lawless bad boy." Octavian was also looking at the old Pompeii. He couldn't believe that Pompeii, who was once arrogant and powerful in Rome, ended up in such an embarrassing situation.  Wearing a tattered and dirty toga, with disheveled hair, if it weren't for the sparkling gemstone ring on his finger, beggar would be the most suitable word to describe him at the moment.  Octavian gave Pompey a shallow salute and said: "I finally found you, Pompey. It seems that the rumors are true. You are here." Pompey was a little depressed. He continued to drink wine and said with a sad smile: "Is Caesar just  Are you unwilling to let go of a helpless old man?" Octavian couldn't bear it, but he still said firmly: "Caesar's order must be carried out." Pompey asked: "What is Caesar going to do to me???After all, he was once his comrade-in-arms and friend.  " Octavian took a wine jug from the attendant and put it on the table and said, "Caesar has prepared everything for you. Your wife and property will be well taken care of. This jug of wine is what Caesar asked me to give to you.  for drink.  " Pompey's hand shook, and the wine glass in his hand fell on the olive wood table. His face turned pale, as if death had come to him. Octavian couldn't bear to see this scene, so he turned and walked out of the room  When he left the room, he said to Yang Rui: "It's up to you to watch him drink the pot of wine while I wait outside.  " Everyone retreated, leaving only Yang Rui and Pompei in the simple guest room. Yang Rui looked at Pompei's dull face and asked with a smile: "What?  Do you still miss the glory of the past?  Pompeo glanced at Yang Rui and said, "What qualifications do you have to talk to me like this?"  Yang Rui said: "Of course I am qualified to speak to you like this. Since I can help Caesar rule Rome, I can also let you die in this dirty hut."  " Pompei stared at Yang Rui and asked: "Who are you?  " Yang Rui's body was shrouded in a layer of sacred light at this time. He said: "I am the master of this world, and I have decided the different fates of you and Caesar.  " Pompeii was shocked by the brilliance of Yang Rui's divinity. He knelt on the ground and asked tremblingly: "Are you really a god?  " Yang Rui said slowly: "The Romans worshiped the gods, but these gods were nothing more than fabricated by you to deceive the world, and I am indeed the real master of this world. The human struggle made me see that the world is about to be destroyed, but  , that is exactly the result I want, therefore, I must choose to let the world collapse in an orderly manner under my will.  Therefore, I chose Caesar, so you have to die for this to continue.  " Pompei raised his head and looked at Yang Rui with tears in his eyes and asked, "Why didn't you choose me?  Yang Rui said: "Your presence will allow the most powerful empire in the world to continue on the path of republicanism. This path will ultimately be far away from my goal."  What I need is the ** of personal will, so that everyone's will can be brought together to exert maximum energy. Therefore, Caesar is a good candidate, but you are not. You are Caesar's biggest enemy to unify Rome, so you are  Must die.  "(To be continued.)
