    Perhaps the happiest person about Caesar's defeat in Germania was Gaius.

    This famous consul among the Romans was scolded by Caesar for his unique "performance" in this battle, but he didn't take it seriously at all.

    Although Caesar was very dissatisfied with his failure to assist Kaleni, he could not find any evidence that he betrayed him.

    The Senate needs evidence to speak for itself, and what is certain is that even if the Senate really knew that he had betrayed Caesar, I believe Pompey would be as happy as those in the Senate.

    Now, they need someone who can contain Caesar, and he is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    Regarding this point, Ernst, who quietly appeared in the Gaius Military Camp again,  Brahm had made it very clear to him.

    And Ernst.  Brahm told Gaius that he was about to go to Rome to fulfill his promise to Gaius.

    At this moment, Gaius was extremely grateful.

    He needs someone to work for him in Rome and someone to help him get rid of Caesar's shackles, and Ernst is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    "My wife is Lucia, and my son is Drusus" Gaius told the other party about his family.

    Lukia is not Drusus¡¯ biological mother, but just a stepmother, but the relationship between mother and son is quite good.  And Lucia and Drusus are probably the most important people in Gaius' life.

    He asked Ernst that when he arrived in Rome, he must take good care of their mother and son, and deal with himself as much as possible.  To ensure that he would not be implicated by Caesar.  Then he told Ernst: "When you arrive in Rome, you can go find Orvis, the senator of the Senate. He is very influential, but because of his past discord with Caesar, he was ostracized. However, it is said that Pompey has renewed his ambitions."  £®He has a good relationship with me£®

    Wang Weiyi had a smile on his face. If a person likes money, then everything will be easier.

    "Please feel free to stay in Gaul, Gaius." Wang Weiyi said lightly: "In Rome

    I will do everything you want for you. No matter what attitude the Senate uses towards Caesar, I can guarantee that you will not be implicated.  "

    "Thank you, my friend. This is the letter I wrote to my wife. She will help you as stated in the letter." Gaius took out a letter and handed it to Wang Weiyi's hand: "Ah, yes  Yes, there is one more thing I think you should know. Sentummarus, the newly appointed governor of Germania by the Senate, has also arrived. However, Caesar is very unhappy about this matter. He thinks that the Senate is trying to deprive him of his power.  that power"

    "Oh?" The sudden arrival of the governor of Germania aroused Wang Weiyi's great interest: "Governor? How many troops will he bring to launch a new attack on Germany?"

    Gaius smiled sarcastically: "The so-called governor is nothing more than a playboy in Rome. His ability with women is much greater than on the battlefield. Don't worry, Caesar will never  He is willing to cooperate with him, and he has not brought any soldiers. What I can guarantee you is that this guy who prefers women's bodies will never have the courage to attack the enemy without Caesar's support.  £®£®£®At the same time, I will do my best to help you and your friends.

    "Thank you, my friend." Wang Weiyi and Gaius hugged gently.

    This also means that an alliance-the alliance between the Romans and the barbarians has been officially determined.

    This alliance is beneficial to both parties. Wang Weiyi planted a nail next to Caesar, and Gaius can make full use of Wang Weiyi's power to pave the way for his future.

    Ernst.  Brahm was rich, Gaius was convinced of this, and with money, he could influence everything in Rome and get things that others could not get.

    Including huge power.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    It is said that the foundation day of the ancient Roman city was 753 BC.  This city was formed spontaneously over a long period of time without a unified and reasonable plan.

    During the Republic period, the Roman city still developed naturally and its layout was relatively chaotic.  But the construction of the city center has had glorious achievements.  This ancient city is composed of the famous seven Roman hills, of which Palladium is the center of the seven hills, leaning to the northwest.  There is a natural reservoir on the top of the mountain, which supplies water to the whole city, and is surrounded by walls for protection.  The ancient Roman city built city walls in the 4th century BC, and the city retained open space as a food supply place when it was surrounded by enemies.The central square of the city is located to the north of Palladium. Later, a group of squares was gradually formed here, which is the world-famous Republic Square.

    This place carries the pride of the Romans. Every citizen of the Roman Republic is proud to go to Rome once and see the majestic buildings here with their own eyes.

    The city of Rome was filled with all kinds of people, including nobles, slave traders, prostitutes, freed gladiators, thieves, and outlaws who were ready to have some adventures here.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    When Wang Weiyi and Richthofen walked into Rome, they didn¡¯t attract anyone¡¯s attention.

    Here, all kinds of pubs are everywhere. As long as you have money, you can find everything you need here:

    Good wine, delicious food, and women.  £®  £®  !

    Wang Weiyi and Richthofen randomly walked into a tavern, or to be more precise, it was not a tavern in the true sense.  When they walked in, they found that it was simply a noisy vegetable market, with people inside making loud noises and arguing loudly.

    Two guys who had just had a fight were thrown out of the tavern. In the corner of the tavern, two naked men and women were performing some "exercises" as if no one was around, without any concern at all.  There is such a large ¡°audience¡±.  But the strange thing is that the people here have probably been accustomed to such things for a long time, and they are completely too lazy to take a second look at the man and woman who are exercising crazily.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    Wang Weiyi and Richthofen looked at each other. They had long heard that Rome was as famous for its promiscuity as its power, but they never expected that it would reach such a level.

    "Hey, stranger, where are you from? Why did you come to the great city of Rome?" A middle-aged man in his forties asked loudly, "Do you have any proof? I don't want the alderman to cause trouble for me when he comes.  !¡±

    "I am Spurius, and this is my companion Tius." Wang Weiyi said with a smile: "We are slave traders, and we are all decent and good people who came from the province of Bisnia. We promise  It won't cause you any trouble. Is this yours?"

    "Of course, everything here belongs to me." The middle-aged man's face looked much brighter when he heard that he was from the province of Bisnia in the Pontic Region and was also a slave trader: "I am] Archi.  You can find everything here, my distinguished guests. Ah, slave traders, everyone knows how generous you are."

    "Of course." Wang Weiyi immediately understood what the other party meant. He took out two dinars that Xiaoling had cast for him and handed them to Yaqi: "We have to do something here. Can you help us find it temporarily?"  A place to live?¡±

    The two silver dinar coins made Archie's eyes light up. The slave traders were indeed very profitable. He carefully collected the dinars and said, "Look, my friend, what more do you want to say? I  There are plenty of places to stay for you, with the best wine and the most beautiful food every day. £®Ah, if you need a woman, I can satisfy you.  The best woman in Rome."

    This is completely bragging. You will never find a good one among women in this place.

    Wang Weiyi still smiled and expressed his gratitude,] Yaqi asked someone to bring two full glasses of wine: "Please, my friend, your two dinars will allow you to eat, drink and have fun here for a long time."  It¡¯s been a while. Ah, I¡¯m so envious of you. A group of slaves can make you so much money that it takes a carriage to move it.¡±

    After a few perfunctory words with him, Belia suddenly seemed to remember something: "I know why you stayed here. Did you go to attend the banquet of Lord Tribune Servius? I heard that Servius  Wu Xin got a group of gladiators, and one of them was very powerful. Did you sell these gladiators to them? "

    Wang Weiyi shook his head: "Unfortunately, we don't recognize Lord Tribune, but we are very interested in going and taking a look. Unfortunately, I don't think Lord Servius will invite two slave traders."

    Belia blinked slyly: "Why not? If you are really willing to participate, I can find a way to send you in. Of course, I have to pay some price. You know, those people are very greedy. I  Just think of two dinars."

    "I'll give you three dinars." Wang Weiyi generously took out the dinars: "Since you come to Rome, you have to open your eyes, don't you think so, Belia?"

    "Of course, of course." Belya put away the dinar with a smile. He had already made a decision. This is his God of Wealth, and he must do it well no matter what.??Serving them will make you a small fortune.

    You have to know that this slave trader costs five dinars, which is a lot to get from accompanying these filthy poor people in the tavern.

    Belya invited them to his place of residence, and then hurriedly arranged for them to sneak into Servius's banquet.  As soon as he left, Richthofen asked: "Ernst, what party are we going to and what are we going to do?"

    "The Roman banquet is a very important channel. There, you can get a lot of information that is not available outside. Even some important decisions in Rome were initially formed there." Wang Weiyi mused: "Manfred  , We came to Rome this time to try every means to contain Caesar and win us the greatest breathing time. And to do this, we must get to know some powerful people, just by relying on Gaius.  That veteran Ovis is not enough."

    Richthofen nodded thoughtfully.  Perhaps Ernst is preparing to dominate the city of Rome again.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    This extremely bold guy can always cause turmoil in the local area no matter where he goes.  And when everyone was worried about the turmoil he caused, this bold guy had left long ago and went to live happily somewhere.

    If he didn¡¯t do this, he wouldn¡¯t be Ernst.  Brahm.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    And Wang Weiyi has to consider far more than that! Just containing Caesar is not enough.  He must establish a huge network of relationships in the city of Rome, a network that can be used by him anytime and anywhere.

    This will give the Germanic people the most powerful help.

    For example, Bielea is the first good candidate in the network. Although he is greedy, sometimes greedy people are the best to control, just like Simone in another time and space.  Riley, he and Belia are exactly the same type of person.

    Their loyalty to money is better than their loyalty to anything else.

    They will betray their conscience, but they will never betray their money.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    While I was thinking about this, there was a burst of noise outside, and after a while, the door was knocked "bang bang".

    When the door was opened, there were two Roman soldiers standing outside, accompanied by a luxuriously dressed official. As soon as he saw the people inside, a Roman soldier had already said fiercely: "Despicable guy, when you see Lord Gnaeus, the alderman,  Do you still dare to raise your head like this?¡±

    "Ah, hello, Lord Mayor Gnaeus," Wang Weiyi said politely.

    ??Looking at this city official, he is probably thirty years old at most.  According to Roman rules, the alderman must be over thirty years old, and those born in the nobility can be reduced by two years. Therefore, it can be judged that the alderman must be from a noble family.

    "Where are you from? Do you have any supporting documents?" Gnaeus said arrogantly.

    "Dear Municipal Officer, we are from the province of Bisnia, and this is our certification document." Wang Weiyi took out the "certification document" that he had prepared long ago and handed it over.

    After a cursory look, Gnaus returned it to the other party: "It was signed by the Governor of Bisnia Province in person. Are you familiar with him?"

    Wang Weiyi didn't expect that the so-called certification documents Xiaoling prepared for him actually used the name of the Governor of Bisnia Province. However, looking at the other party's face, he was obviously a lot more polite to him: "Yes, my dear Lord Mayor.  ¡¤Sometimes the Governor invites us to his banquets.¡±

    Gnaeus nodded and asked the two soldiers to go elsewhere. He walked into the room and looked at their luggage: "Are you a slave trader from Bisnia Province?"

    Wang Weiyi and Richthofen looked at each other, and they didn¡¯t know why. Everyone¡¯s first impression of them was that of a slave trader. Do they really look like a slave trader?

    "Yes, Lord Consul, we are slave traders." Wang Weiyi replied with a smile: "This time, we just came back from Gaul and brought back a group of Gaul slaves. They are very popular in the province of Bisnia.  It was all sold out, so we came to Rome to see the majestic city of Rome with our own eyes.¡±

    He specifically said that all his slaves had been sold in Bisnia Province, otherwise as a slave trader, if he didn't have any slaves, he would definitely arouse the other party's suspicion.

    The word "Gaul" fell into Gnaeus's ears, and it immediately attracted his attention: "Gaul? Have you ever seen Caesar?"

    "Ah, it's the respected Lord Caesar. We are very fortunate to have met him before. It is our honor." Wang Weiyi said calmly.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?He said "Oh" and suddenly asked: "Are there any of the Romans who Caesar conquered Germania?"

    Wang Weiyi did not answer immediately, but quietly paid attention to Gnaeus's expression. After a while, he slowly said: "It is a pity that Lord Caesar lost to the barbarians."

    "What, Caesar was defeated by the barbarians?" A hint of imperceptible joy flashed across Gnaeus' face: "Are you sure? Why don't we have any news yet?"

    Wang Weiyi immediately replied: "Because any battle report has a complete delivery procedure for Rome, but it is different for slave traders like us. We must know where a war is taking place as soon as possible.  This gives us the opportunity to make money, so we have the fastest horses and our people in every province where war may break out. Because of this, we can get the news from those places as soon as possible.  £®

    This answer is watertight. Gnaeus also knows that only the outbreak of war can make these people rich. They often get the news earlier than Rome.

    He nodded slightly: "What about the province of Germania? The Senate established the new province of Germania and appointed a new governor there. Have you heard about it?"

    "Are you talking about Lord Centumaros?" Wang Weiyi decided to take a risk. At least the joy shown by the other party after hearing the news of Caesar's failure was worth the risk: "I heard some rumors, but I  I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s true, but if it makes you unhappy, please don¡¯t blame me.¡±

    "Tell me, I'm interested."

    "It seems that Lord Centumaros did not receive assistance from Lord Caesar, and there seems to be some conflicts between the two, so Lord Centumaros is still stranded in Gaul until now."

    Wang Weiyi¡¯s words made Gnaeus¡¯s eyebrows twitch, but he didn¡¯t show any special expression: ¡°Oh, I think that¡¯s probably the case, my poor cousin.¡±

    In an instant, Wang Weiyi understood everything.
