- When the banquet was in the middle of the banquet, Servius suddenly stopped all the music, and then he stood up:
"My distinguished guests, I think all of you have seen the wonderful fight just now. Then, I think the next activity we like can be carried out. Just now, you have seen the wonderful performance of these two gladiators. £®
As he spoke, he pointed at the two sisters Tyrlia and Sevia who had just participated in the gladiatorial battle, and then said in a calm tone:
"Now, we will auction these two beautiful female gladiators!"
For a moment, the guests, including Pompey, were stunned.
This pair of sisters are so beautiful, and their status as gladiators also adds a bit of mystery to them.
And now, does Servius actually want to sell these two sisters?
"Servius, are you kidding?" Pompey couldn't help but ask.
"Servius never jokes." Servius said with a smile: "Women are not for hiding, but for everyone to enjoy. No matter how beautiful they are, they are nothing more than slaves, like this Slaves, I can find them everywhere."
The guests finally understood that Servius was serious about what he said. This immediately aroused the interest of all the guests. To be able to get this pair of such beautiful sisters is really a great blessing in life.
"Ten sesterces!" Someone shouted out loudly first.
"Twenty!"
"Thirty!"
The guests hurriedly began to bid.
Servius glanced at Pompey: "Dear Sole Consul, won't you participate?"
"I am old and have no interest in this aspect anymore." Pompeo said with a smile.
By this time, the bidding had already reached dinars from Sestels, and someone had already offered twenty dinars, which was a huge sum.
But it is really worth it to exchange for twenty dinars for this pair of sisters.
And the bid of twenty dinars made everyone become silent. This is really a very high number. £® £® £® £® £®
"Ah, is there no responsibility to exceed this price? Then the ownership of Tiria and Sevia will belong to"
Just as Servius was about to make an announcement, a voice suddenly came from the corner:
"Ten Ores!"
For a moment, there was really no sound at all in the banquet hall.
Servius almost suspected that he had heard wrongly. £® £® £® £® £® He and Pompey looked together toward the place where the sound came from.
There were two very young people standing up. The young man in the lead said: "I want ten Ores!"
Their clothes were no less impressive than any of the guests who arrived, and their conversation was in the most fashionable Roman language. This made the guests very curious, where did this noble come from? Why have you never seen them before?
"Dear guest, are you talking about ten ores?" Until now, Servius still doubted whether he heard correctly.
"Yes, ten Ores!"
Wang Weiyi replied with a smile, and then quietly looked at Pompeo.
This Caesar¡¯s ally and future enemy was also looking at him in deep thought, as if he wanted to see something from himself.
"Distinguished guests, can I ask for your names? Why did you appear at my banquet?" Although the identity of the other party is unclear, and Servius is very sure that he has never invited them, a person who can People who can afford ten ores must not be neglected.
"I am Splius, and he is my companion Tius." Wang Weiyi replied with a smile: "We are from the province of Bisnia. When we heard that you were going to hold a banquet here, we took the liberty of We have become uninvited guests here through some connections. Please forgive us and never throw us out of here.¡±
His words caused a burst of laughter. Servius also smiled and said: "Anyone who can afford ten Orvis is definitely worthy of my respect. So, now Tyrlia and Servia These two female gladiators that everyone wants are yours, my friend from the province of Bisyanyi.¡±
Wang Weiyi took out a purse containing gold coins and threw it over. Servius checked it and suddenly said with some uncertainty: "My friend, I think you gave it by mistake. ThisThere are a full twenty ores in it. "
"That's right, respected Lord Tribune Servius." Wang Weiyi said calmly: "I originally meant one female gladiator with ten ores, a total of twenty ores.
There were exclamations in the mouths of all the guests, and even Pompeo's expression changed.
He had seen a lot of rich people, but this was the first time he saw a person like this one who didn't take twenty Ores seriously. Even Crassus, who was the richest man in the world at that time, couldn't do it.
He will probably never know that these small sums of money are not even a drop in the bucket to Wang Weiyi. £® £® £® £® £®
"Get up, humble slave." Servius, who had always been pleasant to the female gladiator, suddenly turned fierce: "Now, you have a new master. If you dare to do anything to the new master, Those who are disrespectful will be thrown into the lion's cage to keep company with those beasts!"
Tierlia and Sylvia stood up, walked to Wang Weiyi's side expressionlessly, and knelt on the ground. !
"Get up." Wang Weiyi said with the same expressionless expression.
Servius¡¯s face was filled with a smile again: ¡°Come on, let the music play again, for our new friends, and for us to see what a truly rich man is.¡±
The music started playing again, and now, everyone¡¯s eyes were filled with strangeness when they saw Wang Weiyi:
Envy, jealousy, desire. £® £® £® £® £®
"Spurius, sit down next to me." Pompey suddenly said majestically.
Pompeo sat down next to him and looked at him: "Tell me, what do you do?"
"I am a slave trader." Wang Weiyi replied calmly.
His answer made Pompey and Servius look suspicious at the same time. How could a man with such a conversation be a vulgar slave trader who could identify money with his eyes?
"Come, tell me your true identity." Pompey said with a smile.
Wang Weiyi, who has always been known as a slave trader, faced such a problem for the first time, but he did not panic at all: "My noble sole consul, being a slave trader is indeed one of my identities and one of my countless businesses. One item.¡±
"One of them?" Pompeo frowned: "Do you have a lot of business?"
"Yes, but most of them are not in Rome." Wang Weiyi said calmly: "Since my grandfather, we have been doing business with those distant countries in the East. It is undeniable that we have earned a lot of money from it. My I have even settled in a country in the east, but I have never forgotten Rome. I must ask for your forgiveness, Lord Consul. I have never been there, and I even bought the certification documents with money.¡±
He knew the identity of his so-called province of Bisnia, and he could find it out by just checking Pompey. This could be hidden from others, but it could never be hidden from Pompey.
Sure enough, there was a smile on Pompeo's face: "So, I can forgive you. Who doesn't want to come to Rome? Tell me, those countries in the East are really so rich and can really bring you such huge benefits. Wealth?"
"Yes, the sole consul." Wang Weiyi nodded: "I have been to the most remote eastern country, and the wealth there is no less than that of Rome. If you are willing to risk the danger and the hardships of the journey, I believe that anyone The Romans would be rich."
"This is the best compensation for the hard-working and brave Roman citizens" There was some yearning in Pompeo's words: "If possible, I really want to go to the eastern countries you mentioned, but it is a pity that ,I'm old."
"You are not old at all, the only consul." Wang Weiyi smiled lightly: "You can still gallop on the battlefield."
Pompeo smiled lightly: "Thank you for your flattery, it will make me feel much more comfortable. Now you can tell me your comments about Caesar again."
Wang Weiyi was startled, and Pompeo immediately said: "Have you forgotten, Gnaus? Have you forgotten what you said to Gnaus?"
Wang Weiyi took a breath of air. Why did Pompeo know so quickly that he and Gnaeus knew each other?
"My friend, you have probably been away from Rome for a long time. I know everything about the city even if you don't know it" Pompey said slowly: "When you said your name was Splius, I I remembered the man Gnaeus told me about. To be honest, I wonder why you know so much about Gaul and Germania.??Not interested at all, I know you people always have your own ways. The only thing I want to know is what exactly Caesar did in Gaul. "
"He suffered a heavy defeat from the barbarians, and more than once." Wang Weiyi said: "The barbarians were very powerful and defeated Caesar several times. In the last decisive battle, Caesar and his Roman legions They suffered heavy losses and had to retreat to Gaul. Of course, you can rest assured that the barbarians have no power to attack Gaul."
"Why should I worry? Gaul is controlled by Caesar." Pompeo sneered: "My friend, it seems that I saw you right. You know very well what happened between Caesar and the barbarians. Clear. Then you can tell me, is there any other reason for Caesar's failure besides the strength of the barbarians?"
"I think there should be no more" Wang Weiyi felt that there seemed to be something else in Pompeo's words.
"Where is Gaius? Didn't Gaius tell you something?"
Pompeo¡¯s sudden arrival surprised Wang Weiyi again. Did Pompey already know what was going on in Germany? Has his identity been exposed?
If this is the case, then the situation between himself and Richthofen will become extremely dangerous.
But Pompey seemed to be saying something that could not be easier: "You have the fastest horse to deliver the message for you, and Rome also has the fastest horse and the best rider. Gaius gave the senator O Vis wrote a letter telling Orvis that he would send one of his friends to Rome to work for him. Orvis showed me the letter that day. If I guess correctly, it was you. That friend of Gaius?"
Wang Weiyi took a deep breath. Now he understood why Pompeo knew all this. £® £® £® £® £® !
"Yes, the only consul, I am Gaius's friend, and when I came to Rome this time, I did undertake Gaius's instructions." Wang Weiyi regained his "respectful" tone: "I and There has always been a close correspondence between Gaius and the barbarians, so I know a lot about what happened."
"Then tell me carefully." Pompeo's eyes were fixed on Wang Weiyi.
Wang Weiyi said calmly: "To be honest, Gaius was very dissatisfied with some of the things Caesar did. During the battle with the barbarians, as a consul, he had to obey the command of the deputy consul Kalleni. , which is hard to imagine.¡±
"Absurd!" Pompey and Servius snorted at the same time.
Wang Weiyi ignored them and continued: "In the final decisive battle with the barbarians, Kalleni's army suffered a disastrous defeat, but Gaius defeated the Vandals. Unfortunately, when the battle was over, Gaius Instead of receiving any reward, Gaius was severely reprimanded by Caesar. The only consul, I will not support Gaius because he is my friend, but a man who has won on the battlefield cannot get it. It¡¯s hard to believe that it¡¯s a fair reward.¡±
Pompeo nodded slightly.
Everyone knows that Kaleni and Gaius are the two most capable generals under Caesar and also the most loyal subordinates, but they did not expect that Gaius is now full of conflicts with Caesar.
This is good news for Pompeo. It would be even better if the enemies between them could be defeated from within.
"What do you think of barbarians?" Pompeo pulled back his thoughts and asked.
Wang Weiyi thought for a moment: "The barbarians have now formed an alliance, and countless tribes have united together. I think we will not be able to defeat them in a short time. I heard that the Senate has newly established the province of Germania, with To strengthen the control of barbarians."
Having said this, he seemed to have some hesitation and did not continue.
Pompeo suddenly became interested: "Whatever you want to say, you can say it here."
Wang Weiyi nodded: "But I think that without the complete conquest of the barbarians, it will be difficult for the newly appointed governor of Germania, Lord Centumaros, to carry out the work entrusted to him by the Senate. And he It seems difficult to get along with Caesar. Caesar will not allow others to live in his territory for a long time. £®
Pompey and Servius exchanged glances, and this was exactly what they feared.
Servius was originally used by them to contain Caesar, but now it seems that the situation has changed.
"So what do you think we should do?" Pompeo unexpectedly asked Wang Weiyi for his opinion.
Wang Weiyi knew that the other party was deliberately testing him, so he said calmly: "How to do it, I think you already have the answer. I can't get involved in such a thing, I'm just a friend of Gaius."
Pompey smiled slightly: "In this case, you can tell Gaius that anyone who is loyal to Rome will be able to rest assured. He will only get our rewards and will not receive unfair treatment again."
¡°Thank you for your kindness, Lord Sole Archon.
"Then, you can go and enjoy the two female gladiators." Pompeo pointed there: "I think you will not leave Rome for the time being. If there is a chance, I will send someone to call you and continue to consult you. Something about Gaul and the barbarians."
"Yes, thank you for your generosity."
When Wang Weiyi left here, Pompeo was silent for a long time, and then slowly asked: "What do you think, Servius?"
Servius knew what Pompey was asking: "Lord Pompey, I have no way of knowing what kind of person this man named Splius is, but one thing is certain, that is, he is rich. Now. , Money is very important to us, I think he may be of great help to us.¡±
Pompeo smiled: "It's exactly what I thought. At present, I can ignore all his identities and his real purpose of coming to Rome. I need him to donate his money generously, and I also need his information. This It¡¯s very important for us right now.¡±
There was a brief pause: "What about Caesar? How do you think we should deal with Caesar?"
"Caesar's reputation is getting higher and higher, which poses a great threat to us, and he no longer seems to take the Senate and your orders to heart." Servius's face was a little gloomy: "I think We have to take some action, and recalling Caesar to Rome would be a good idea."
Pompeo sighed: "But his time in power has not yet come. Caesar will definitely refuse such an order. I know his character too well, and it will even prompt him to do some uncool things."
"Does he really dare to do this?" Servius didn't quite believe it.
"He dares, no one knows his character better than me!" Pompeo stared into the distance and said thoughtfully.
Yes, no one understands Caesar¡¯s character better than him! - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
