Chapter 183: Preparations Before Returning

The Battitas family's mansion had three floors, the first floor was a spacious living room and Quintus's study, and the second floor was a bedroom and guest room, where gladiators and slaves lived in the dark, damp ground.

After a careful search upstairs and downstairs, Li Nan found nothing, so he slowly walked underground with an iron spear in his hand.

The staircase leading to the basement was originally an extremely strong iron door, but this door was now open, and several slain slave girls were lying on the ground.

"Don't! Please spare me! ”

As soon as he took a few steps in the gloomy corridor, Li Nan heard a woman's sobs and cries for help, and after this voice entered his ears, the face of the red-haired ** Ludia immediately appeared in his mind.

Li Nan followed the sound to a room where gladiators were held, and by the light of the torches in the corridor, he saw that Ludia, dressed in a red tulle dress, was crushed to the ground, and a strong Roman soldier was riding on her with a silver smile.

"Poof!"

The sharp spear pierced the back of the Roman soldier's head and burrowed out of his mouth, spraying a large amount of blood on Ludia's chest and face.

Pushing away the corpse on her body, Ludia stood up and looked at Li Nan, who was covered in blood and holding an iron spear in front of her, she hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Thank you." ”

For this woman, Li Nan doesn't have much hatred for her, not to mention that the two have a few intimate relationships, and saving her is just a matter of convenience.

Waving his hand to stop her from approaching him, Li Nan asked, "Don't thank me, do you know where Quintus hid the money?" ”

Ludia shook her head and said, "I really don't know this, the family's financial affairs are handled by Quintus and Ashur together. ”

Li Nan probably guessed this result, and now finding these two guys to get money is the most urgent thing at present, which is related to whether everyone can leave the Roman world alive.

"Did you see Quintus or Ashur when you fled?"

"I did flee here with them, but after encountering a few soldiers, the three of us dispersed, presumably hiding somewhere here."

Seeing that her appearance did not look like a fake, Li Nan nodded and prepared to search ahead, and said before leaving: "You be careful, if you are found by those slaves, it is estimated that they will not let you go." ”

After leaving that room, Li Nan searched the entire underground building, even the death row, but still did not find these two guys, where would Quintus and Ashur flee to?

Suddenly, Li Nan thought of a place, and hurriedly walked towards the training ground behind the mansion.

In the entire Battitas Mansion, there is one of the safest places that absolutely no one will ever go to, and that is the dung pit where Li Nan was once imprisoned--- place.

After coming to the location of the manure pit, Li Nan found that the originally tight wooden lid had exposed cracks, and someone had indeed visited.

As soon as the lid was lifted, Li Nan looked down, and although the two bastards squatted down in time to hide, ripples rippled on the surface of the liquid that emitted a foul-smelling mixture of feces and urine, revealing where they were.

After Li Nan took a few breaths of fresh air, he said inside: "If you continue to hide, I will get some oil and pour it in and light it." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, two figures were revealed in the dung pit, it was the damned Quintus and Ashur.

Ashur wiped the filth on his face, and smiled at Li Nan above: "Hehe, it turned out to be a yellow kill, you are okay." ”

Li Nan was not interested in dealing with these two bastards, so he directly found a rope to tie to a nearby wooden stake, and then said to them: "Come out immediately, otherwise you won't have to come out." ”

The two smelly guys climbed up along the rope, and after Li Nan asked them to rinse each other with clean water, he escorted them back to the living room of the mansion.

At this time, all the people who were still alive gathered here, and even Ludia, who was hiding in the basement, did not escape, but was also captured by the gladiators, sitting on the ground and crying for the unknown fate.

Grebo, Anubis, and Elicia were all killed by Spartacus, which was not surprising to Li Nan, but the presence of the strange old doctor, Salas, and the bandaged Kress on his stomach was very surprising to him.

Noticing Li Nan's surprised gaze, Spartacus replied simply, "I didn't aim at his heart, it's not a fatal injury." ”

Spartacus, who was originally calm, pointed at the strange old man and questioned after seeing Quintus appear: "Salas told me that the person who sent Sulla back was not injured at all, and that you made up everything by yourself, and you wanted to kill Sulla, right?" ”

Looking at the angry Spartacus, Quintus loudly defended: "There is nothing wrong, but don't forget that I made you alive and made you a gladiator, and your wife was also bought by me, if it weren't for me, you would have died in the arena!" ”

Quintus pointed at all the gladiators and shouted, "I am your master, and all your lives belong to me, and whatever I do, you vile brutes should be grateful to me!" ”

"Then I'll thank you so much!"

Before Spartacus could speak, the short sword in his hand quickly swept towards Quintus's throat, and the blood of Quintus, whose neck was cut off, spurted out, and he immediately fell to the ground, completely dead.

All the gladiators present had expressions of relief, and the only one crying for Quintus was his wife, Ludia.

Li Nan, who had not yet asked Quintus where he was hiding the money, did not expect Spartacus to act so quickly, and now he could only put his hope on Ashur.

The Roman army would arrive at any time, and Li Nan hurriedly said to Ashur: "I don't care what method you use, you can immediately make up 149 gold coins for me now." ”

If you want to say that you are impromptu, Ashur wants to say that she is second, and no one dares to call herself first.

After hearing Li Nan's words, although he didn't know why he was still concerned about money in this kind of life and death situation, but seeing Kress and Nivea sitting on the side looking at him hatefully, he hurriedly said, "I need a guarantee." ”

"Say it."

"You swear to keep my life safe."

Li Nan knew the hatred between Ashur and Kress, but this matter was nothing compared to the life and death of everyone, and immediately responded: "Okay, I swear! ”

Ashur knew that Li Nan was a man of his word, and since he had received a satisfactory answer, he did not hesitate.

He walked into Quintus's study, removed the huge desk, removed a movable stone brick from the floor, and pulled out a large money bag full of gold coins.

After Li Nan's hand touched the money bag, the voice of the system answerer immediately appeared in his head.

"The main quest 'Family Money' has been completed, will I return to it?"

Looking at everyone in the hall, Li Nan noticed that Vero hadn't come back yet, so he chose 'no'.

With enough gold in hand, Li Nan, who could return at any time, had no pressure, and now he only hoped that his good brother Vero could appear before the arrival of the Roman army.

The imminent arrival of the Roman army made everyone in the hall who did not know the inside story feel tormented, and after more than ten minutes, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came from far and near.

When Li Nan came to the gate, he looked at the only road that led to the top of the mountain, and saw Vero galloping on a black war horse, holding a boy of seven or eight years old in his chest, and behind him was his wife Aurelia, and behind him were hundreds of heavily armed Roman cavalry.
