Chapter 9 Surena (Part 2)
Adiana opened Lepidus' hand and said, "So, you are deceiving him?"
Lepidus turned around and sat down comfortably on the armchair again, "I didn't deceive him, I just didn't tell him the whole truth." Then he shut his mouth and stopped talking to the queen, because he saw that Adiana was nervous again The ground was pacing back and forth in front of me.
"What's the truth? Since even the march route has been revealed, for an expedition, it is equivalent to burying the entire Roman army. Surena is a general who can defeat Crassus. He has 10,000 elite soldiers. Cavalry, this is just his personal retinue. Is there anything in your equipment that can restrain Parthia? Also, the current Armenian king is still undecided about which side he is on. If Tegranis turns against him, With one blow, I can completely defeat you from the flank with the Parthians. Hey, Karabis, amphora..." Adiana started rubbing her hands together again.
"Tell me, do you have anything to do with Surena?" Over there, just after her interest was completely aroused, Li Bida suddenly asked this question while reading the file without raising his head.
"No..." Adiana blurted out subconsciously, and then she hated it. She felt that she wanted to stimulate the other party, but she didn't expect to be backhanded by the other party. She was completely passive. She was like a big fighting beast. The losers on the field had their armor chopped into pieces by the opponent, and they retreated to a corner in defeat.
"Then why is he here? Is he here to covet my queen?" Lepidus stood up and gently put his hands on Adiana's shoulders. At this moment, the slaves did not retreat. Among them, Matthias took a step forward. Hold the kettle overhead. Lepidus touched his head and said, "Don't be impatient, my child. The water in this kettle will be poured into the Queen's body after the bed-making is over, so that she will not have to suffer from the pain of conception. Besides, That must be the duty of the Queen’s maids.”
With a soft sound, Lepidus' hand grasped the slap that Adiana was about to slap. Then with a push, the other party half fell on the small table, "Stop playing these boring tricks in front of me. Remember that you are the queen now, not the princess who can be as coquettish and willful as you used to be. If I were really When anger breaks out, your kingdom may cease to exist. If you have really had that dream, you should understand that the wheat fields here belong to me, and I use the Roman eagle of Jupiter to sow the seeds in this field. Then use Roman fire and sword to harvest. Isn’t this the oath we made in front of the wheat field god? Kleiner is here just to covet your beauty, and he also covets the portals of Armenia and Eubotia. ,right?"
"I have never had any affair with him. I have always entertained him as a regular state guest and have never exceeded the rules." Adiana explained in a completely broken and aggrieved tone, leaning on the small table. .
After saying that, Lepidus squatted down and helped the crying Adiana up. He even said, "Don't cry. Don't cry. Now I'm here. You should be happy. I trust you. Now I'm here." Make an offer that you are definitely interested in, "I heard that little Tegre, um, your sister's son, is currently taking refuge in your kingdom?"
Adiana was helped by Lepidus to sit down on the armchair, and then nodded, "Actually, Surena also made a condition, but he asked me to poison little Tegra in exchange for his father's allegiance to Parthia. Then he Said that as long as I allow this, once he defeats the Roman army, he will turn Syria, Galaxia and Cilicia into his own private territory, otherwise his king Herod will not be able to reward him for his great achievements. Galaxia gave it to me alone, and then wanted me to be his wife, but I did not agree - he would continue his expedition to Greece after victory, just like my father did. " Lepidus followed her words and circled. The circle, thinking, then laughed, "Hey, Adiana, my terms are more favorable, on the contrary - in the name of diplomatic envoy, I support the return of little Tegre to Armenia, depose his father, and make Armenia a part of my army Then, while Crassus and Surena were fighting, I would suddenly rush from the remnants of the Taurus Mountains, between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers, and go directly to the city of Seleucia, where I heard that Herod His little brother is causing rebellion, and he is also assisted by a group of Greek mercenaries. As long as he wins the surrender of Seleucia, Surena can be isolated and killed. "
When talking about "in the land of death", Lepidus once again put his hand on the back of Adiana's neck and stroked it, "So, only I can inherit your father's career and make you a leader across the Euphoric Sea and the Aegean Sea. Queen. As for that ridiculous noble man, he will only die like a dog, either in my hands or in Herod's hands." Then, with a flash of his palm, Like a magic trick, a pure gold hanging chain was scattered around Adiana's slender neck, "Do you like it? A pendant in the shape of a chariot was on the body of the wife of a Gallic chieftain who was killed by me. It also carries the scent of the loser's misery." Adiana couldn't help but smell the scent of the gold hanging chain, and an intoxicated expression slowly appeared on her face. She felt the sadness of the loser, which was also her favorite.
"Okay, then answer me now, when you committed suicide these years, were you thinking about me and using me as your target?"
When Adiana heard these shameless words, the miserable scene of the Colosseum came to mind again. Now, let alone armor and weapons, she had lost even a corner of her body. Her body was naked and covered with bruises. , the corners of her mouth were filled with sand, and she crouched in front of the opponent's toes, until a sword stabbed straight into her chest.
"Why are your hands now not as soft and gentle as before, but with a stinging edge of steel?" She said with a trembling voice, which was equivalent to acquiescing to Lepidah's question just now.
Li Bida slowly hugged her from behind, "Because Tuna is dead, you know, his brother is an idiot, but an idiot who needs my protection. Tuna's so-called friend still has several debts that he has not repaid. I am now I am a debt collector, and by the way, I hope to destroy some disgusting things, or turn the world into my gambling board to test my strength, that's about it."
After a long time, Adiana stood up and walked slowly and automatically to the bed curtain. Several understanding maids immediately surrounded her and took off her clothes. Then Adiana slowly climbed to the head of the bed curtain and knelt down, as if she was waiting. The owner raised his petite buttocks like a caressing cat. Seeing this, Lepidus breathed a sigh of relief, took off his robe, folded it neatly, and handed it into Matthias's hands. Then he whispered, "Go out and ask Alp to arrange the guards nearby. You will be responsible after everything is done." Bring me a drink or drink and be smart.”
Then he also walked to the bed curtain, determined to follow the Queen's wishes this time, generally gentle, but also with a bit of wildness after separation. He could see this appeal from Adiana's posture. (To be continued...)
