Chapter 153: Ludia's Small Business

The corpses of all the assassins were dragged out of the underground arena by Li Nan and others, and Quintus, who was holding a knife wound in his lower abdomen, turned pale and pale.

"Barka, how did you protect me?"

"Master, there are so many assassins, I didn't pay attention to ......"

"Didn't pay attention?" Quintus angrily pointed at Barka and scolded: "As long as I still have a breath, you should watch and listen to all directions, if I die, you will all be gouged out and cut off!" ”

Ashur and Li Nan searched the bodies of the Assassins, who had no belongings, but each of them had a 'yy' slave mark on their shoulders.

After making a discovery, Ashur hurriedly reported: "Master, these people are slaves. ”

"Whose family are these goddamn bastards?"

"This is not a slave of any of the Kapua families, it is estimated that they were bought from outside." Ashur, who was very familiar with every family in the city, replied.

Quintus endured the pain of the wound, angrily kicked the corpse on the ground, and shouted, "F**k! Damn bastard stabbed me with a lowly slave! ”

After venting enough, Quintus viciously commanded Ashur: "Go and check all the slave traders in the city at once, I hope to see him tomorrow, and I will have a good talk with him!" ”

A group of disabled people helped each other back to the Batitas mansion by the sea, and when they saw that Quintus was injured, Ludia hurriedly helped him in with several slave girls.

After taking off Quintus's clothes, Ludia gave him medicine for the wound with her own hands, and asked with concern, "What happened?" ”

"Hehe......" Quintus didn't want his wife to worry, and said lightly, "It's nothing, something went wrong with my plan, a damn guy sent a few slaves and wanted you to become a widow." ”

The red-haired beauty Ludia asked murderously, "Who should we kill?" ”

Quintus's mood was a little low, and he sighed and said, "For the time being, I haven't found out who is behind the scenes, but because of the appearance of these slave assassins, I have lost all my bets." ”

"What? We have run out of money, so what about the debts we owe? The news shocked Ludia.

Quintus explained: "I had agreed with Spartacus that he would die on his own initiative, and that if I won the bet, I would have his wife, so that I could pay off all my debts, but no one expected such a thing to happen." ”

Ludia did not like the unruly and impulsive Spartacus, so she asked, "Is the Thracian dead?" ”

"No, it was he and Huang Kill who saved my life, otherwise I would have died a long time ago."

"That damn Spartacus is General Glebo's enemy, and he has smeared our Batitas family in the arena, and he is riddled with bad luck, so kill him quickly!"

Although Quintus loves his wife Ludia, he also has his own ideas and principles, and no matter how lowly Spartacus is, he saved his life after all.

In the end, Quintus spared Spartacus's life, and he and Li Nan were successful in saving people, so they also regained their status as glorious gladiators.

The Bartitas family's financial situation is getting worse and worse, and the summer drought continues, and now they can't even afford to buy water, so Ludia has to quietly sell the jewelry in her jewelry box.

In this hot weather, Quintus's anger at almost being assassinated is growing stronger, and now his most urgent thing is to find the person behind the scenes and vent his anger.

Maintaining a large gladiator training ground required a lot of money every day, hundreds of male and female slaves, and a lot of food and water every day.

Gladiators had to endure a great deal of training every day, and their recipes were as prescribed as those of later athletes, and they had to eat and drink without food, otherwise they would soon slip into shape.

Seeing that Quintus was helpless, Ludia had to send someone to contact the Roman noblewomen she had met through Elisia's connection, hoping that they would be interested in something.

Elisia's father was a senator, and her best friends were all from major Roman families, among which the most noble family was the richest man in Rome, Marcus. Crassus's cousin, Leginia.

Marcus. In later history, Crassus should be regarded as the military strategist, statesman, and richest man in Rome at the end of the Roman Republic.

He helped Sulla seize power in the Civil War and establish a dictatorship, spending most of his life in politics and following in his father's business speculation. He amassed his fortune through the slave trade, mining operations, speculative real estate trading, and illegal seizure of other people's property.

He teamed up with Pompey and Caesar to form a triumvirate. Compared with the two giants, Crassus controlled the most army and possessed the most wealth, but he was lacking in terms of military exploits.

Later, jealous of the exploits of Pompey and Caesar, he hastily launched a war against the Rest Empire in 53 BC, and was completely destroyed in the Battle of Calais, and he himself died in the battle.

Marcus today. Crassus had great financial and political power in the Roman Republic, so when Ludia got to know her, she kept in touch with the noblewoman.

Like Elixia, Leginia's husband runs for power and wealth every day, and has countless lovers outside, ignoring her in his relationship and conjugal life.

Reginia is more outgoing and daring than Elicia, so after receiving Ludia's invitation, she happily takes her guards and servants to the Battitas family's mansion.

The Romans liked silk from the East, but they didn't like the color and thickness of silk, and all silk would be dismantled into silk threads, rewoven, dyed, and turned into a translucent fabric, which is now worn by Leginia in such a long purple dress.

With some last money, Ludia bought several bottles of bad wine and fruit, which she used to entertain the honorable Leginia.

Born in a rich family, Reginia actually didn't care about these things at all, even if Ludia bought the best wine, it was inferior in her eyes, and she came here this time to get something else.

After a few words of greeting, Leginia said straight to the point: "Ludia, you said in the letter that you have something good to show me, I don't know where it is?" ”

Ludia smiled and said, "Dear Leginia, I know you like those brave and fierce warriors, so do you know the gladiators of the underground arena?" ”

Ordinary Romans despise the underground arena, but Leginia, who pursues excitement, said excitedly: "I heard the slaves at home mention that it is said to be a more cruel and bloody place than ordinary arenas, do you still have gladiators here who have participated in underground arenas?" ”

"Of course!"

Although Ludia had only seen Rhaginia once, she had a rough understanding of her character, so she specially invited her alone, and immediately clapped her hands gently, and two slave girls walked up with the tall, strong, and handsome Li Nan.

"Dear Reginia, this is the new generation of God of War from the Underground Arena, Prince Seres, known as the Bone Crusher, Yellow Kill!"

The sweet-looking Rhaginia came to Li Nan's front and back, stretched out her white jade hand to touch Li Nan's strong skin and strong muscles, thinking of what was going to happen for a while, a trace of blush appeared on her pretty face inexplicably.
