In the middle of the feast, Sevious suddenly stopped all the music, and then he stood up:

"My distinguished guests, I think all of you have seen the wonderful gladiatorial fight just now, so I think the following event that we like can also be carried out. Just now, you've seen the wonderful performance of these two gladiators......"

As he spoke, he pointed to the two sisters Tyrlia and Sevia, who had just participated in the gladiatorial fight, and then, in a calm tone, said:

"Now, we will auction off these two beautiful female gladiators!"

For a moment, the guests, including Pompey, were stunned in the infighting.

This pair of sisters is so beautiful, and their status as gladiators also adds a bit of mystery to their bodies.

And now, is Sevius actually going to sell these two sisters?

"Sevios, are you kidding?" Pompey couldn't help but ask.

"Sevios never jokes." Sevios smiled and said, "Women, not for private hiding, but for everyone to enjoy." No matter how beautiful they are, they are just slaves, and I can find many slaves like this anytime and anywhere......"

The guests finally figured out what Sevius was talking about, and this immediately aroused the interest of all the guests, and it was a great blessing in life to be able to get such a beautiful pair of sisters.

"Ten Sistyrs!" Someone was the first to shout out.

"Twenty!"

"Thirty!"

The guests were busy and began to bid prices.

Sevius glanced at Pompey, "Honorable Sole Consul, won't you participate?" ”

"I'm old. There is no interest in this area anymore. Pompey said with a smile.

By this time, the outcry had already been called from Sesteyrs to the dinar, and someone had already sent out twenty dinars. That's a lot of money.

But it was worth it to get twenty dinars for this pair of sisters.

And the bid of twenty dinars made everyone silent, which is really a high number......

"Ah, is there no obligation to exceed this price any more? Then the ownership of Tyrlia and Sevia will belong to ......"

Just as Sevius was about to make an announcement, a voice suddenly came from the corner:

"Ten Aureth!"

For a moment, there was really no sound in the banquet hall.

Sevius also almost suspected that he had misheard...... Together with Pompey, he looked towards where the voice had come from.

There were two very young people standing up. The young man in the lead said, "Ten Aureth, I want it!" ”

They were dressed in no way inferior to any of the guests who arrived, and their conversation was in the most fashionable Roman language. This made the guests very curious. Where did this nobility come from? Why had you never seen them before?

"Honored guest, are you talking about ten Aures?" To this day, Sevios wonders if he heard it wrong.

"Yes, ten Aureth!"

Wang Weiyi replied with a smile. Then he quietly looked at Pompey.

This Caesar's ally. and future enemies, who were also looking at themselves with a deep groan, as if they wanted to see something from themselves.

"Distinguished guest, could you ask your name? Why are you at my banquet? Although the identity of the other party is not clear, and Sevious is sure that he never invited them, a person who can produce ten Aurez must not be neglected.

"I'm Prius, and he's my companion Tius." Wang Weiyi replied with a smile: "We are from the province of Bisnia. When we heard that you were going to have a banquet here, we took the liberty of becoming an uninvited guest here through some connections. I beg your forgiveness and don't throw us out of here. ”

His words caused a burst of laughter, and Sevious also smiled and said, "The man who can afford to produce ten Orvis definitely deserves my respect." Now, then, Tirlia and Savia, the two female gladiators that everyone wants, belong to you, friends from the province of Bisyani. ”

Wang Weiyi took out a money bag containing gold coins and threw it over, Sevious checked it, and suddenly said with some uncertainty: "My friend, I think you gave the wrong thing, there are twenty Aules here." ”

"That's right, Honorable Tribune Lord Sevious." Wang Weiyi said lightly: "I was originally talking about a female gladiator with ten Aures, a total of twenty Aures. ”

An exclamation of surprise rang out in the mouths of all the guests, and even Pompey's complexion changed.

He had seen a lot of rich people, but it was the first time he had seen a man like the one in front of him, who had taken twenty Aureis seriously in the slightest. Even Crassus, who was rich in the world back then, couldn't do it.

He probably will never know that these small sums of money are not even a dime a dozen for Wang Weiyi......

"Arise, lowly slave." Sevious, who had always been kind to female gladiators, suddenly became fierce: "Now, you have a new master. If you dare to be disrespectful to your new master, you will be thrown into a lion's cage with the beasts! ”

Tirlia and Sevia stood up, walked to Wang Weiyi's side with expressionless faces, and fell to their knees.

"Get up." Wang Weiyi also said expressionlessly.

Sevious's face was full of smiles again: "Come on, let the music start again, for the sake of our new friends, and for the sake of us seeing what it really means to be rich." ”

The music started again, and now, everyone's eyes were full of strangeness when they saw Wang Weiyi:

Envy, jealousy, longing......

"Spreus, sit down beside me." Pompey suddenly said majestically.

Sit down beside him. Pompey looked at him, "Tell me, what do you do?" ”

"I'm a slave trader." Wang Weiyi replied quietly.

His answer made both Pompey and Sevius look suspicious, how could a man with such a conversation be a crude slave trader who recognized money in his eyes?

"Come on. Tell me who you really are. Pompey said with a smile.

Wang Weiyi, who has always shown himself as a slave trader, is facing such a question for the first time, but he is not flustered at all: "Your Excellency the sole consul, slave traders are indeed one of my identities, and they are also one of my countless businesses. ”

"One of them?" Pompey frowned: "Do you have a lot of business?" ”

"Yes, but mostly not in Rome." Wang Weiyi said calmly: "Since my grandfather, we have been doing business with those distant countries in the East. There's no denying that we're making a lot of money from it. My home is even in some country in the East, but I've never forgotten Rome. So I'm back...... I must ask for your forgiveness, the sole consul, I have never been to the province of Bisnia, and I have bought even the documents with money. ”

He knew his identity as the so-called province of Bisnia. Just look at Pompey to find out. This can be hidden from others, but it can never be hidden from Pompey.

Sure enough, some smiles appeared on Pompey's face: "I see, I can forgive you." Who wouldn't want to come to Rome? Tell me, are those countries of the East really so rich that they can really bring you such great wealth? ”

"Yes, Lord Archon." Wang Weiyi nodded: "I have been to the farthest eastern country, where the wealth is not inferior to Rome in the slightest. If you are willing to risk danger and hardships on the road. I believe that any Roman would become very wealthy. ”

"This is the best compensation for the industrious and brave Roman citizens......" Pompey said with some yearning: "If it were possible, I would like to go to the countries of the East of which you speak of as well." It's a pity that I'm old. ”

"You're not old at all, Lord Archon." Wang Weiyi smiled faintly: "You can still gallop on the battlefield." ”

Pompey smiled indifferently: "Thank you for your flattery, it will make me feel a lot more comfortable." So now you can tell me again about your comment about Caesar. ”

Wang Weiyi was stunned, and Pompey immediately said, "Have you forgotten Gnaus? Have you forgotten what you said to Gnaeus? ”

Wang Weiyi gasped, how could Pompey know what he and Gnaus knew so quickly?

"My friend, you've probably been away from Rome for a long time, and I know everything about the city of Rome," Pompey said slowly......, "When you say your name is Splitus, I think of the man Gnaeus told me about. To tell you the truth, I am not in the slightest interest in what you know so much about the provinces of Gaul and Germania, and I know that you people have your own way. The only thing I want to know is what Caesar did in Gaul. ”

"He suffered a terrible defeat with the barbarians, and more than once." Wang Weiyi opened his mouth and said: "The barbarians have shown themselves to be very strong, and they have defeated Caesar several times. In the last decisive battle, Caesar and his Roman legions suffered heavy losses, and they had to retreat to Gaul. Of course, you can rest assured that the barbarians had absolutely no strength to attack Gaul......"

"Why should I be worried? Gaul was controlled by Caesar. Pompey sneered: "My friend, it seems that I am not mistaken about you, you know very well what is really going on between Caesar and the barbarians. Can you tell me, then, that Caesar failed because of the barbarians' strength, and for any other reason? ”

"I think there should be no more ......," Wang Weiyi felt that there seemed to be something else in Pompey's words.

"What about Gaius? Didn't Gaius tell you something? ”

Pompey's sudden arrival surprised Wang Weiyi again. Could it be that Pompey knew what was going on in Germania? Has his identity been revealed?

If this were the case, the situation for himself and Richthofen would be extremely dangerous......

Pompey seemed to be saying something that could not have been easier: "You have the fastest horse to deliver the news to you, and Rome has the fastest horse and the best rider." Gaius wrote a letter to the senator of the Senate, Ovis. The letter told Orvis that he would send a friend of his to Rome to act for him. Orvis showed me the letter the same day. If I'm not mistaken, you're that friend of Gaius, right? ”

Wang Weiyi took a deep breath, and now he figured out what Pompey was up to, and it was so clear to all of this......

"Yes, the only consul, I am the friend of Gaius, and I have come to Rome this time to bear Gaius's request." Wang Weiyi regained his "respectful" tone: "Gaius and I have always maintained a close correspondence. So what happened with the Gauls and the barbarians I know very well......"

"Well, let's talk about it carefully." Pompey's eyes were fixed on Wang Weiyi's body.

Wang Weiyi said calmly: "To be honest, Gaius is very dissatisfied with some of the things that Caesar did. In the battle with the barbarians, it is hard to imagine that he, as an archon, had to obey the command of the lieutenant consul Kalyni. ”

"Ridiculous!" Pompey and Sevius snorted coldly at the same time.

Wang Weiyi ignored them. Instead, he continued: "In the decisive battle with the barbarians. Caleni's legions suffered a crushing defeat, but Gaius was able to defeat the Vandals, but when the battle was over, Gaius was severely reprimanded by Caesar instead of receiving any reward. The only archon, I don't protect Gaius just because I'm my friend, but a man who has won on the battlefield. Instead of receiving a just reward, you will be chastised? That's hard to convince......"

Pompey nodded slightly.

Everyone knows that Calleni and Gaius are Caesar's two most powerful generals, and they are also the most loyal subordinates, but they did not expect that Gaius and Caesar are now full of contradictions.

This was good news for Pompey, and it would be better if he could defeat the enemy from within.

"What do you think of the barbarians?" Pompeh asked, pulling back into his train of thought.

Wang Weiyi thought for a moment: "The barbarians have now formed an alliance, and countless tribes are united, I don't think we can defeat them in a short time." I had heard that the Senate had established a new province of Germania to strengthen its control over the barbarians, but ......"

Saying this, he didn't seem to continue as if he had some hesitation.

Pompey became interested at once: "Whatever you want to say, you can say it here." ”

Wang Weiyi nodded: "But I think that in the absence of complete conquest by the barbarians, it will be difficult for the newly appointed Governor of Germania, Lord Sentumaros, to carry out the work entrusted to him by the Senate. Moreover, he and Caesar seem to have a hard time getting along with him, and Caesar will not allow others to live on his territory for a long time, especially with his legions......"

Pompey and Sevius exchanged glances, which was exactly what they were worried about.

Sevios was originally used by them to contain Caesar, but now it looks like things have changed a bit.

"So what do you think we should do?" Pompey unexpectedly consulted Wang Weiyi's opinion.

Wang Weiyi knew that the other party was deliberately testing himself there, and he said calmly: "How to do it, I think you already have the answer." I can't get involved in anything like this, I'm just a friend of Gaius. ”

Pompey smiled slightly: "In that case, you can tell Gaius that anyone who is loyal to Rome will be reassured." He will only be rewarded by us, and will not be treated unjustly again. ”

"Thank you for your kindness, Lord One Archon."

"Then, you can go and enjoy those two female gladiators." Pompey pointed there: "I don't think you will leave Rome for a while, but if I have the chance, I will send someone to call you, and continue to ask you about Gaul and the barbarians." ”

"Yes, thank you for your generosity."

When Wang Weiyi left here, Pompey was silent for a long time before slowly asking, "What do you think, Sevious?" ”

Sevio knew what Pompey was asking: "Lord Pompey, I don't know what kind of man this man is called Splius, but one thing is certain, and that is his wealth." Money is very important to us right now, and I think he might be able to help us a lot. ”

Pompey smiled: "Exactly as I thought, at the moment, I can ignore all his identities and the real purpose of his coming to Rome, I need his generous donation of his money, and I also need his intelligence, which is very important for us at the moment." ”

There was a slight pause: "What about Caesar?" What do you think we should do with Caesar? ”

"Caesar's prestige is growing, which poses a great threat to us, and he no longer seems to take the Senate and your orders to heart now." Sevious' face was a little gloomy: "I think we have to take some action, such as calling Caesar back to Rome is a good idea." ”

Pompey sighed: "But his reign has not yet arrived, Caesar will definitely refuse such an order, I know his character too well, this will even prompt him to do something uncool." ”

"Does he really dare to do that?" Sevios was a little unconvinced.

"He dares, no one knows his character better than I do!" Pompey stared into the distance and said with a heavy heart.

Yes, no one knows Caesar's character better than he does! (To be continued......)
