Chapter 707: Dingguo (Part 1)

The open space behind the Lucurcanus Cathedral, which was under expansion, was full of people. Only dozens of soldiers were seen working hard. They used shovels to dig two tunnels that were as wide as a person in the open space. The guys who were captured and had their hands tied with ropes were the enemies of Augustus mentioned by John.

They watched the soldiers working blankly and knew exactly what these tunnels were used for.

"John, I want to ask, is this Caesar's will?" Pope Bisius hurried over. When he saw what the soldiers were doing, he found John in confusion and wanted to ask him what was going on.

In response to Pope Bisius's question, John showed no guilty conscience. He turned around and looked at Bisius, saying seriously, "We are doing something absolutely pure and absolutely right."

"John!" Bisius took a step forward, holding a golden cross in his hand, and stared at John Antiochus with a firm gaze. He asked in a deep voice, "It is impossible for the merciful Caesar to do this. Tell me, swear in front of God and the Son and Mother of God, who is behind all this!"

John turned around and looked at Bisius, his eyes revealed astonishment and more helplessness. He looked at Bisius opposite him and glanced at the holy staff in his hand. He was a devout believer and was not used to lying in front of God.

John Antiochus hesitated, his Adam's apple moving up and down, and finally said with disdain: "This has nothing to do with you, Father!"

"You are blaspheming God's land!" The eyes of Bisius were full of anger. He strode forward regardless of the other priests' obstruction and grabbed John's toga. "I don't care why you are here. Now, take your minions and leave here!"

"John Antiochus, you damn guy!" At this time, Andrew, who was standing in the crowd, couldn't help his inner anger. He suddenly understood what John Antiochus was trying to do. This was a completely inhumane massacre. Even so, Andrew was still struggling, but the rope bound in his hands was too tight for him to break free, even though his efforts had already made his wrists covered with blood.

"John, stop your damn plan!"

"Damn beast, do you know who I am?"

"Vile thing..."

Shouts of insults continued to burst out from these arrogant nobles. They exchanged sharp words, and all of them were directed at John Antiochus in front of them.

What was unexpected was that John chose to remain silent at this time. He silently listened to those nobles who were unwilling to let it end like this and loudly insulted him.

Bisius still stood there firmly, his eyes never leaving John Antiochus, as if he was angry with him. Neither side would give in, and the situation remained in a stalemate.

"But then again." Luca sat in the carriage and rubbed his dizzy head. "You have been emphasizing my importance to you and the Flavius ​​family for so long. I am very curious, Liginia, you must be hiding something from me. Tell me, what did you do?"

"I really did what I could for you." Li Jinia said slowly, "After all, if something happened to you, I would die too."

"So you take it all for granted, at least you think your starting point is right."

"Yes, so I don't care. I only care about you. I only care about you. Your safety can continue Flavius' rule."

"Flavius, Flavius ​​again!"

"Because you are my father's adopted son, and I am the daughter of Theodosius, a member of the noble Flavius."

"Likinia, I find that you always keep the last name Flavius ​​on your lips. It's like a curse branded on your lips by the gods, and you can't get rid of it."

"Because I know that if I don't do this, then neither you, me, nor the children will be spared!" Liginiya pursed her lips stubbornly. "My father was saved because my grandfather entrusted him to the Sassanid king. So my father always reminds me at all times that only by taking action first can I protect myself and the people I want to protect."

"Cesides?"

"What?" Likinia frowned and looked at Luca.

"The enemy you're talking about is the bastard who contradicted me and embarrassed me in public at the banquet, right?"

"I can think of no one else but him, Caesar!"

"You plan to eliminate him?"

"Not just him, Caesar, but also anyone who might be in collusion with him!" Liginia's eyes were extremely firm, but this gave Luca a bad feeling.

"Likinia, you know this is crazy!" Luka was panting in his heart. He didn't know how to tell Likinia why he felt this way. "Tell me quickly, what did you do!"

"I have executed everyone, everyone who dared to be friends with your enemies!"

"You'd better tell me clearly!" Luca grabbed Likinia. The hidden feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger. Now he was even more dissatisfied with what Likinia had done. "Tell me, what did you do?"

"I killed them!" Likinia just looked at Luca, her expression was calm, so calm that she almost had no expression. "Everyone, all the enemies who dared to stand with Sesides!"

"you!"

Luca gritted his teeth. He must know that Andrew was also in there. Aren’t these people the targets of Likinia?

"They didn't do anything to you."

"But they offended you!" Liginia was calm from nowhere. She snorted coldly and asked Luca, "What's wrong? Caesar, have you forgotten how many people you have killed since you joined the army? Why? You were willing to kill people before, but not now?"

“Those are different!”

"Why is it different?" Li Jinnia looked very impulsive. She almost wanted to shout out, but Luga quickly covered her mouth with his hand. Just like that, a tear seeped out from the corner of Li Jinnia's eye, slowly flowed down her white cheek, until it stopped on Luga's finger.

"You are such a lunatic!" Lucas let go of her hand, and Liginiya sobbed violently. She still reached out to cover her mouth to prevent her sobbing from being heard.

"You are unwilling to be a bad person. I can see that you have been repenting every day since the construction of the Lucurcanus Cathedral, and your illness is getting worse. You must think that this is God's punishment for you, punishing you for killing each other so cleanly!"

"No, that's not it!"

"There are some things you don't want to do!" Li Jiniya seemed determined not to listen to Luca's explanation. She raised her head high, looked at Luca with tearful eyes but very stubbornly, "Then I will do it. You can do the kindness, and I will do the cruelty!"
