After the fierce attack, Li Nan and Vero sweated profusely and came to the sidelines to rest. Ｘ

Scooping a glass of water in the bucket, after Vero handed it to Li Nan, he said with some panting: "You have made great progress recently, and I almost lost just now." ”

After taking a sip of water, Li Nan smiled at his good friend and said, "Hahaha, you are also very good, I feel that your fighting skills have improved very quickly." ”

While the two were chatting, Ashur, who had already removed the iron frame from his leg, walked over and handed Vero a bag of coins.

"Your wife came to see you, and this is the prize money you got this month."

"Aurelia is here?" Vero stood up in surprise, took the money bag from Ashur's hand, and walked excitedly towards the gate.

Hearing Aurelia's name, Li Nan was really a little weak-hearted, after all, he had done something sorry for Vero.

Ashur sat next to Li Nan and asked, "Huang Sha, the master has arranged for you to participate in the rich merchant Moncado tomorrow, but he doesn't want you to take off the blindfold, are you confident of victory?" ”

Hearing that there was a competitive match, Li Nan hurriedly asked, "Who is my opponent?" ”

Ashur explains: "Moncado's grandfather was a general, who invaded Thrace and defeated many enemies, and tomorrow you will put on the armor of a Roman general and fight against ten Thracian prisoners alone. ”

"Thracian prisoners of war? They weren't gladiators? ”

"It's not!" Ashur replied in the affirmative.

Although there will be many enemies tomorrow, as many as ten, and they will still be warriors from Thrace, Li Nan is confident that he will defeat them.

"I'm blindfolded in a competitive game, and the opponent has the upper numbers, which will definitely bring about a change in the odds, so you can bet all my bonuses this month."

Seeing that Li Nan was so confident, Ashur was also relieved, and it seemed that he could follow the trend and make a fortune tomorrow.

Ashur was in a hurry to tell Quintus about Linan's attitude, and as soon as he walked on the front foot, Vero returned.

Happy people's steps are relaxed and happy, and a bad mood will make the steps slow and heavy, Li Nan knew that Vero was in a bad mood just by listening to the voice.

"Came back so soon, what happened?"

Hearing Li Nan's question, Vero, who was holding back his anger in his heart, immediately scolded: "What! Aurelia is a cousin, she has another man! ”

"What?"

Li Nan was shocked by his words, if Vero knew about himself and Aurelia, then he really didn't know how to deal with his good brother and good friend.

Vero didn't pay attention to Li Nan's expression, and still said to himself: "Aurelia said that she was forced, but she didn't even resist!" ”

Li Nan could be sure that the person Aurelia was talking about was himself, but he couldn't explain it, so he could only persuade: "You sold yourself into slavery, she is a woman with a child, maybe she really has a hard time, I hope you can forgive her." ”

"She betrayed me, how can you ask me to forgive her?"

"Alas!" Li Nan sighed and said, "You help me see if Spartacus is looking at me with hatred, then what do you think it feels like for him to watch his wife Sula spend the night in my room every night, at least your situation is a hundred times better than his, right?" ”

Vero looked at Spartacus, and sure enough, all the gladiators were resting, only he was staring at Li Nan viciously, and he was still chopping wooden stakes in sweat.

Everyone will defend those close to them, and Vero will do the same, "You were also forced by the damned Quintus, and I don't feel the need for Spartacus to hate you so much." ”

Li Nan shook his head and said: "People are like this, rationality is one thing, but instinctive resentment is another. ”

After listening intently to make sure that there were no other people nearby, Li Nan whispered in Vero's ear, "In some time, I can leave here, if you want to come with me, remember to tell Aurelia to bring your children with you." ”

No slave didn't want to leave this hell on earth that had no dignity and would face death at any time, Vero hurriedly asked, "Get out of here?" Do you really have a solution? Where are we going? ”

Vero is a man of good character and sincere to his friends, so Li Nan no longer hid it from him, and said in a low voice: "I can't tell you the way, but I can swear that as long as you and Aurelia and your children are willing, then I can take you to my hometown." There I will be king, and you will no longer be slaves, and I will provide for you, whether it is houses, fields, and livestock. ”

The Roman Republic was vast, and although Vero was very skeptical of Li Nan's words, he believed in Li Nan's character even more, not to mention that there was no need to lie about this kind of thing.

After thinking about it for a few seconds, Vero said affirmatively, "I'm willing to go with you, and I'll take Aurelia and my son with me." ”

Successfully said that Vero was moved, Li Nan held his right hand hard, and said happily: "Okay, then it's a word!" ”

After sharing the secret, Vero asked curiously, "How many people can you take away, and have you told anyone about it?" ”

"I can take a lot of people, but for the time being, only you know about it. I tried Dorcott the other day, but I didn't tell you why, if you have time, contact other people you can trust, and if everyone is willing to go, I can take them all back. ”

"Okay, I will. It's time for us to go to dinner. ”

After entering the dining hall, Li Nan heard the familiar laughter and scolding of the gladiators, which was mixed with a hint of men's sobbing.

The gladiators were tough guys who shed blood, sweat and tears, and after hearing the sobbing sound, Li Nan asked, "Who is crying?" ”

Vero looked at it and said in a tone of pity, "It's that poor Pylos, it is said that Barka ransomed himself and left him here. ”

Recently, Li Nan was concentrating on practicing blindfold combat, and he really didn't notice Barka's whereabouts, so he only knew the news at this time.

What kind of person Barka is, Li Nan knows it very well, so when he heard Vero say that he redeemed himself and gained freedom, Li Nan didn't believe it.

Quintus is definitely not the kind of magnanimous person, it is absolutely impossible for him to let go of Barka, who knows many of his dark secrets, although Li Nan does not know the truth of the matter, but it can be known from speculation alone that the unlucky Carthaginian beast was most likely disposed of in secret.

The gladiator training ground is actually similar to a prison, this kind of place full of strong men, full of people who like men, and Pylos is young and handsome, and it is estimated that there are many people who want to take him.

Although Pylos is not a gladiator, this child is very kind, and he once helped Li Nan during his most difficult time, and now that he has lost the backer of Barka,
