"Batinius, why did you frame Aduneus and murder the Roman nobles, others don't know, but I know very well, Adunius was just sent to our house by you two days ago, and you are his new master, but you sent him to assassinate Lucius, who has nothing to do with you. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and then framed Gray, what are you doing this for?! ”

The day after Zhang Ce was imprisoned, Octavia learned that the matter had become a public event in Rome and soon reached Gaius Octavian's home. When Octavia learned the news, he rushed to Bartinius' house, and for this cunning Roman nobleman, Octavia spoke straight to the point, not leaving him with any affection at all.

"Young Octavia, some things are not as simple as you think, what you see, what you hear, is not necessarily the real thing. Come on, come in, let's have a good talk about what to do next, I also want to rescue my own gladiators. ”

When Batinius saw Octavia, he was not surprised at all, but calmly invited the young girl into his house.

"Now, please explain the cause and effect of this incident."

Octavia lifted her cloak and looked angrily at the treacherous Roman nobleman in front of her. And Batinius felt a little ridiculous when he saw Octavia's expression. Young girl, you are still childish after all, and perhaps you will have to go through many years of wind and frost before you can be as reserved and calm as your mother. Batinius smiled, and instead of answering Octavia's question directly, he asked first-

"Does your mother know you're coming?"

"I don't know, I sneaked out from her."

Octavia said disdainfully, her eyes still fixed on Batinus. For the sake of a gladiator slave, she went out without telling her mother, and found the theory of Batinus, who was also a nobleman, and sometimes, Octavia did not know what was wrong with her, and since she met Aduneus that night at the mountain villa, she was attracted by the characteristic elegance of this slave, and the polite speech, the wealth of knowledge, and the handsome appearance, like a beautiful work of art, touched the heart of the girl. However, Aduneus was a slave. Gladiator Slave ......

"Oh, that's it. Well, in that case, then we don't have to alarm your mother anymore, I'll find a way to get that Aduneus out of the dungeon, and in three days, you go to the innermost level of Rodrius's prison, and I'll get Adunius out of it, and then you can find a way to get him out of Rome. I also wanted to rescue my slave, but I bought him at a great cost. Believe me, I'm innocent of Lucius's assassination. ”

"But ......"

Octavia wanted to ask something more, but Batinius stopped him directly—"Now, go back at once, or your mother Aditya will not let you go until she finds out about it, and when the time comes, you will not even be able to save Aduneus from prison, let alone see him again." Good girl, obedient, now, go back at once, and don't tell your mother that you have been to me. ”

Batinius drove Octavia away with deception, and it wasn't until Octavia got into the carriage that Bartinius showed that sly smile.

"Are you really going to let that slave go?"

After Octavia left, Victoria walked out of the room, and apparently, the aristocratic woman who was hiding behind the curtain had heard the conversation just now.

"Well, Graeus has been convicted of a crime and is in danger. Even if Cicero had 10,000 reasons, he could not be excused, and the execution would be carried out tomorrow. And what can that Aduneus, a slave do? Besides, at the judicial office that day, this kid was not very cooperative in identifying Graeus's incriminating evidence? It seems that he already knows the fact that he is being used, and he tries his best to curry favor with us, and decides that only by following me can he give himself a way to live. Therefore, after Gray's execution, there was no threat to let him go. You can also sell Octavia a favor by the way. The Romans were very uncomfortable with others, and there was nothing wrong with doing so, was there? My beautiful and smart wife? ”

Coaxing Octavia away, Batinius confidently explained to Victoria that this was indeed an inconsequential matter that would not affect the overall situation. Moreover, the point is that Batinus took the sheep and gave Octavia a favor. In the future, if you need this woman's help, today's favor is a good reason and excuse.

It's always easy for women to lose themselves emotionally, aren't they?

Batinius smiled, as if everything had been done perfectly.

"And what are you going to do with this? The gladiator's execution would take place five days later. ”

When Batinius said this, Victoria still felt faintly uneasy. After all, that Aduneus was also a well-known figure in the city of Rome? The wonderful performance at the Colosseum had already made many Roman citizens remember him, and if he was discovered on the way to escape and pursued by the magistrate, I am afraid that Bartinius would also invite unnecessary trouble.

"I would let him find someone who looked like him in the slave pile, smear him with black mud, tie his hair up, and then go to the execution ground to carry out the death penalty in his place. The execution ground where Aduneus was executed could only hold a few hundred spectators, and it was impossible for them to recognize all of the gladiators, and even if anyone did, there was no evidence. Everything is said in the execution ground. ”

Batinhos continued. His expression was still full of confidence, and it was true that dealing with such a matter was nothing for the great nobles who played with power. And then there's Octavia to pick it up. As this aristocratic girl in the city of Rome, she took a few slaves out of the city, and the guards at the city gate did not dare to ask.

"Let's hope nothing goes wrong."

Victoria forced a smile on his face. However, in Octavia, she also seems to see the shadow of herself yesterday, at the age of seventeen or eighteen, for a boy, give all her true feelings, even if the future is worrying, even if there are many dangers ahead......

Aduneus was just a slave, and at most a well-known gladiator, but after all, he was a slave, and in Rome, how could a slave be with a nobleman? But Octavia did just that, trying to help Aduneus escape, her dream so out of reach. Thinking of this, Victoria even had the heart to help them escape from this city full of intrigues and traps.
