Fleeing all the way north from Rome, Zhang Ce was cautious, for fear of revealing a little suspicious, and even his clothes, decorations, and bags were all dressed as Roman knights. Use this to blend into the city. However, unlike in previous years, the trade route from the province of southern France to Gaul was garrisoned by a large number of Roman troops this year.

Perhaps it was because Caesar launched the Gallic War, which made the situation between Rome and Gaul suddenly tense, according to the history that Zhang Ce knew before, in the early days of Caesar's Gallic War, not all Gallic tribes came to confront Rome, and the two large Celtic tribes near the Roman province were Rome's allies.

One tribe of Edui, one tribe of Sakani.

What Zhang Ce didn't expect was that no matter who entered and exited the border of Rome, he would also need a pass at this time.

"Brother, look at this ......"

At the gate of the camp, there are not many people at the moment, Zhang Ce saw such a scene. Approached the Roman soldier who was checking passers-by. Then he secretly stuffed a heavy bag of coins into the guard's hand.

The expression is very obscene, but helpless. I am not familiar with the place, and when I reach this situation, I can only ask for someone in a low voice.

But the guards didn't seem to buy it, maybe there were too few coins, maybe it was during the war, and the soldiers who worked under Caesar didn't dare to be corrupt, in short, it was okay not to bribe, this act of bribery directly made Zhang Ce show his feet. Become a thorn in the side of all soldiers. There is no need to interrogate, and I know that this person wants to cross the border, and as for what the purpose is, of course, I will only know after being detained and interrogated.

"Arrest him!"

The soldiers guarding the door immediately hugged Zhang Ce, but before he could react, another guard standing by the door also quickly pounced. In the camp, several Roman soldiers who were relatively close to Zhang Ce surrounded him. Now, even if you have great ability, you can't escape.

In fact, seeing the guards' expressions that turned from calm to angry at the beginning, Zhang Ce knew that he was in trouble, but it was impossible to escape, there were guards on the wooden wall, javelins in their hands, and they could project at any time, even if the projection skills of those Roman guards were taught by the Chinese teacher, and the tower was equipped with archers. It is absolutely impossible to escape from such an environment.

So instead of making a useless struggle, Zhang Ce simply didn't resist, waiting for this group of clumsy Roman soldiers to come and catch him.

A few minutes later, a tall Roman officer approached. Judging by his decoration and the transverse mane on his helmet, there is no doubt that this is the Roman centurion. Later generations often appeared in literature and on movie screens in the legion. And just as Zhang Ce was about to greet the burly centurion with a smile, this big guy with a cross-headed head directly punched himself.

Civilians don't have much status in this era, and you're still a civilian who wants to sneak across the border, and it seems natural for the centurion to beat you......

Zhang Ce was held down by the soldiers and taken to the interrogation camp not far away.

There was no one in the camp at this time, and it was said to be the interrogation camp, but it was actually the office of the chief centurion. A few simple bookcases, a wooden bed without decoration, a rough table, and two low wooden chairs. That's all the furniture in the centurion's office.

When Zhang Ce was brought in by the guards, he did not ask to kneel or anything, but was asked to sit on a small stool with his hands tied, and the guards did not stand all the time after they came in, but went out directly. It seems that this centurion is still very confident in dealing with a fugitive.

"Name."

The centurion sat down on his desk and began to question rudely. This is the same knowledge that Zhang Ce knew before the crossing, the Roman centurion was equivalent to the lowest rank in the army, (of course, there was also the ten-commander), these people were usually uneducated, only responsible for the management of a centurion, they had to take the lead on the battlefield, and knew the situation of each soldier in the centurion, their characteristics. Then command accordingly according to the different situations on the battlefield. It is a battlefield military position, and it is also a very high-risk military position, such a thankless job is generally not participated in by rich people, and in Roman society, poor people generally do not receive much education, which leads to the general low cultural quality of centurions, pay attention to cultural quality. The military quality is still good.

The first question the centurion interrogated made Zhang Ce start to struggle. Because in fact, Zhang Ce could not tell the centurion his name in the city of Rome, so if someone in the city of Rome knew that the gladiator who murdered Lucius was still alive in the world, it would inevitably cause another uproar. It is bound to recapture herself back to Rome to carry out the execution, and if you don't do it, it will endanger Octavia, after all, it is this noble girl who risked saving herself.

Of course, he will not tell the centurion his real name...... Zhang Ce, such a name, the centurion would not believe it, and neither would the Roman soldiers. As for the name that hides the family feud - Vibius. Not to mention, it's almost a talisman. How would Appius feel if he knew he was still alive?

In a hurry, Zhang Ce casually said a Roman name - Apis.

"Appis, you are suspected of crossing the border illegally, say, what are you doing when you flee to the territory of the barbarians of the north?"

The centurion sat on a wooden table, chewing nuts in his mouth, looking like a ruffian. It's like a gangster in the streets. Although, perhaps, before joining the Legion, this is indeed the case.

"I am not crossing the border illegally, Your Excellency, in fact, I am only a merchant who wants to go to Gaul and do wine business."

Apis (well, a new name) pretended to be innocent, but combined with his previous performance, coupled with Apis's words and deeds, and appearance, he did have the demeanor of a Roman nobleman. So the centurion even believed it a little bit for a while. But soon, the centurion named Quintus reacted again-

"Merchant? I have never seen a merchant who went to Gaul single-handedly to work as a drinker, without even a squire or a slave. ”

Quintus became so fierce that his eyes at Apis almost tore the illegal Roman to pieces. He did have that momentum. But Apis didn't care, for a man who slaughtered countless gladiators in the arena, the beast might not be a problem, let alone just an ordinary centurion.

"Both squires and slaves can be bought, and I have enough money with me to buy twenty slaves for me to be grooms, and to hire a whole convoy. No one had made it mandatory for Roman merchants to bring slaves and squires with them when they went to foreign lands, and in these troubled war years, if the caravans were too numerous and too richly dressed, it would have been easy to attract the attention of the barbarians and bandits, wouldn't they? ”

Apis had a very flexible mind and a strong mental quality. All of a sudden, the centurion seemed to find no reason to refute it......

"Well, Appis, even if what you say is correct, you still can't get through here without the paperwork, now, where do you come from, go back."

Quintus spat out the nuts in his mouth as he spoke, and threw them into the small trash can. After avoiding a round of interrogation, Appis was a little lucky, and couldn't help but tighten the label on his shoulder and prepare to leave. However, it was this subtle movement of the subconscious that caught the attention of Centurion Quintus.

"Come back! Show your shoulders and I'll take a look. ”

Quintus shouted, and at this time, Appis even had the idea of snatching his sword and running away, however, he didn't know how to ride a horse, so even if he took the centurion in front of him hostage, he would not be able to escape from this camp.

Ready to live the life of a slave again, Apis closed his eyes, and at this time, the otaku uncle's heart finally understood why many times, human beings rely on praying to the gods to obtain spiritual comfort, just like at this moment, even if they know that bad luck is coming, they are powerless.

"Slave! Damn, I should have known you were a slave. ”

Quintus flipped the sackcloth from Appis' shoulder, and in the next second, the centurion's expression, which was as strong as an ox, suddenly became furious. Not only did he not realize that the illegal crosser in front of him was a slave, but he was also being played around by him, if such a thing was known to his soldiers, how would he think of his centurion?

Enraged, Quintus threw a punch at Appis.

However, Appis did not dare to resist, and it was useless to resist now, only to be beaten and abused more. In ancient Roman times, slaves were like a herd of livestock, with no status and left to be slaughtered.
