Probably the happiest man about Caesar's defeat in Germania was Gaius.

This well-known consul among the Romans was reprimanded by Caesar for his unique "performance" in this battle, but he did not care in the slightest.

Although Caesar was upset that he had not aided Kaleni, he could not find any evidence that he had betrayed him.

The Senate needs evidence to speak, and it is certain that even if the Senate did know that it had betrayed Caesar, it believed that Pompey would be as happy as the people in the Senate.

Now, they needed someone who could contain Caesar, and they were undoubtedly the right person......

On this point, Ernst reappeared quietly in the camp of Gaius. Bram had made it very clear to him.

And Ernst. Bream told Gaius that he was about to go to Rome to fulfill his promise to Gaius.

At this moment, Gaius was extremely grateful.

He needed someone to move around Rome for him, someone to help him free himself from Caesar's shackles, and Ernst was undoubtedly the most suitable person for them......

"My wife is Lucia and my son is Drusus...... Gaius told him about his family.

Lukia is not Drusus's biological mother, just a stepmother, but the relationship between mother and son is quite good. And Lukia and Drusus are probably the most important people in Gaius's life.

He asked Ernst when he arrived in Rome. must take good care of their mother and son, and try their best to deal with themselves. to ensure that he would not be implicated by Caesar. Then he told Ernst: "When you get to Rome, go and look for Orvis, the senator of the Senate." He was very influential, but was ostracized because of his past disagreement with Caesar, but Pompey is said to have wanted to reuse him...... He has a good relationship with me, but this guy is very fond of money......"

The corners of Wang Weiyi's mouth showed some smiles, if a person likes money, then everything will be easy.

"Please feel free to stay in Gaul. Gaius. Wang Weiyi said lightly: "In Rome, I will do everything you want for you, no matter what kind of attitude the Senate uses to treat Caesar." What I can guarantee is that you will not be implicated. ”

"Thank you, my friend. This is my letter to my wife, and she will help you according to what the letter says. Gaius took out a letter and handed it to Wang Weiyi: "Ah, that's right. There's one more thing I think you should know as well. Sentumaros, the newly appointed governor of Germania by the Senate, also arrived, but Caesar was upset about the matter, believing that the Senate was trying to deprive him of his power......"

"Oh?" The sudden arrival of the governor of Germania aroused Wang Weiyi's great interest: "Governor? How many troops did he bring with him, and would he launch a new attack on Germain? ”

Gaius smiled sarcastically: "The so-called governor is nothing more than a playboy in the city of Rome, and his ability to do it on women is much greater than on the battlefield." Rest assured, Caesar would never be willing to cooperate with him. And he didn't bring any soldiers. What I can assure you is that without Caesar's support. This guy, who prefers the body of a woman, has absolutely no guts to attack the enemy...... At the same time, I will do everything in my power to help you and your friends. ”

"Thank you, my friend." Wang Weiyi and Gaius hugged gently.

This meant that an alliance between the Romans and the barbarians had been formalized.

This alliance is beneficial for both sides, Wang Weiyi has planted a nail next to Caesar, and Gaius can make full use of Wang Weiyi's power to pave the way for his future.

Ernst. Bram had money, Gaius had been convinced, and money was able to call the wind and rain in Rome, and to get things that no one else could get.

Including enormous power......

．．．．．．

Legend has it that the foundation stone of the ancient Roman city was laid in 753 BC. The city was formed spontaneously over a long period of time, and it did not have a unified and reasonable plan.

During the republican period, the Roman city was still a natural development, and the layout was relatively disorderly. However, the construction of the city center has been a glorious achievement. This ancient city is made up of the famous Roman Seven Mounds, of which Paratius is the heart of the Seven Mounds, which slopes to the northwest. There is a natural cistern at the top of the hill that supplies water to the whole city, and it is protected by a wall around it. The ancient Roman city was walled in the 4th century BC, and the city reserved open space as a food supply in case of siege. The central square of the city is north of Palatiome, where a cluster of squares was gradually formed, known as the Plaza de la Repubblica.

It is a place of pride for the Romans, and every citizen of the Roman Republic is proud to be able to visit the city once and see the majestic buildings in person.

The city of Rome was filled with all kinds of people, nobles, slave traders, prostitutes, freed gladiators, thieves, and outlaws who were ready to go on some adventures here......

When Wang Weiyi and Richthofen entered the city of Rome, they did not attract anyone's attention.

There are all kinds of taverns here, and as long as you have money, you can find everything you need here:

Wine, food, women......

Wang Weiyi and Richthofen casually walked into a tavern, or more accurately, not a tavern in the true sense of the word. As soon as they walked in, they found that it was a noisy vegetable market, and the people inside were making loud noises and arguing loudly.

Two guys who had just fought were thrown out of the tavern, and in the corner of the tavern, two naked men and women, were doing some "sports" as if no one was around, and they didn't care that there were so many "spectators" on the side. But the strange thing is that the people here are probably used to such things for a long time. I didn't bother to take a second look at the man and woman who were exercising wildly......

Wang Weiyi and Richthofen looked at each other, they had long heard that Roman fornication was as famous as it was, but they never expected it to come to such a point.

"Hey. Strangers, where did they come from? Why did you come to the great city of Rome? A middle-aged man in his forties asked aloud, "Do you have any proof?" I don't want to get in trouble with me when the city magistrate comes! ”

"I'm Spulius, and this is my companion Tius." Wang Weiyi smiled and said, "We are slave traders, and we are all serious and good people, so we came from Bisnia Province. We promise you won't get in trouble. What about you? Is this yours here? ”

"Of course, everything here is mine." The middle-aged man heard that he was from the province of Bisnia, Pontus, and that he was also a slave trader. His face looked a lot better: "I'm Beyaqi, in charge of everything here, my honored guest." Whatever you need can be found here. Aha, slave traders, I like you, and your generosity is known to all......"

"Of course." Wang Weiyi immediately understood what the other party meant. took out two dinars for Xiao Ling to help him cast and handed them to Beyaqi: "We have to do something here." Can you help us find a place to live temporarily? ”

The two silver dinars lit up Beaqi's eyes, and the slave trader's money was really good, and he carefully put away the dinars: "Look, my friend, what more can I say?" I have a place where you can stay, with the best wine and the best food every day, just one Estyr a day...... Ah, if you need a woman, I can satisfy you. I've got the best woman in all of Rome......"

That's all bragging there, here's the place. You will never be able to find any good woman among them.

Wang Weiyi still smiled and expressed his gratitude, and Beyaqi asked people to bring two large glasses full of wine: "Please, my friend, your two dinars have allowed you to eat, drink and be merry here for a long time." Ah, I envy you so much, that a group of slaves can make you earn so much that you can use a wagon to haul that money. ”

After a few perfunctory words with him, Berea suddenly seemed to remember something: "I know why you want to stay here, are you going to attend the banquet of Lord Sevious, the tribune?" I heard that Sevios got a new batch of gladiators, and one of them was very powerful, did you sell them these gladiators? ”

Wang Weiyi shook his head: "It's a pity that we don't know Lord Tribune, but we are very interested in going and seeing, but unfortunately I don't think Lord Sevios will invite two slave traders." ”

Berea blinked slyly: "Why not?" If you really want to participate, I have a way to get you in. Of course, I'll have to pay some price, you know, those people are very greedy, I think two dinars will do ......"

"I'll give you three dinars." Wang Weiyi generously took out the dinar: "Since you have come to Rome, you must always open your eyes, do you say yes, Belea?" ”

"Of course, of course." Berea smiled and put away the dinar, he had already made a decision, this is his own god of wealth, no matter what, he has to wait for them well, this will make him a small fortune.

You learn that the slave trader is five dinars at the end of his life, and that's a lot to get for the filthy poor devils in the tavern.

Berea invited them to their lodgings, and then busied herself with arranging for them to be allowed to mingle with the banquet of Sevios. As soon as he was gone, Richthofen asked, "Ernst, what banquet are we going to do?" ”

"The banquet of the Romans was a very important channel, where a lot of information could not be obtained outside, and even some important decisions of Rome were initially formed there." Wang Weiyi groaned: "Manfred, we came to Rome this time to do everything we can to contain Caesar and win us the greatest breathing time. And to do that, we have to get acquainted with powerful people, and it's not enough to rely on the old Ovis that Gaius said......"

Richthofen nodded thoughtfully. Presumably, Ernst is preparing to call for rain in Rome again......

This daring guy goes wherever he goes. It can always cause a storm in the local area. And when everyone was having a headache for the turmoil he caused, this bold guy had already left, and he didn't know where he was going to be happy.

If you don't. He's not Ernst. Bream ......

And Wang Weiyi has to think about much more than that, it is not enough to contain Caesar. He had to build a vast network of connections in the city of Rome, one that he could use at any time and at any time.

This will be the most powerful help to the Germanic people.

For example, that Berea, who is the first good candidate in the network, although he is greedy, sometimes greedy people are the best to control, just like Simone in another time and space. Riley. He and Bereka were exactly the same type of people.

They are more loyal to money than to anything.

They will betray their conscience, but they will never betray money......

While I was thinking about this there. There was a cacophony outside, and after a while, there was a knock on the door.

When the door was opened, two Roman soldiers stood outside. Accompanied by a luxuriously dressed official. As soon as he saw the people inside, a Roman soldier had already said fiercely: "Despicable fellow, do you dare to raise your head like this when you see Lord Gnaus, the municipal magistrate?" ”

"Ah, Mayor-sama Gnaeus, hello." Wang Weiyi said politely.

Look at this municipal magistrate, he is about thirty years old at most. According to Roman rules, the magistrate had to be over thirty years old, and those of noble birth could be reduced by two years, so it can be judged. This municipal magistrate must have come from an aristocratic family.

"Where did it come from, and do you have any supporting documents?" Gnaeus said arrogantly.

"Your Excellency, Honorable Mayor. We are from the province of Bisnia and this is our supporting document. Wang Weiyi took out the "supporting documents" that had been prepared a long time ago and handed them over.

After a hasty look, Gnaeus returned it to the other party: "His Excellency the Governor of Bisnia Province personally signed it, are you familiar with him?" ”

Wang Weiyi didn't expect that the so-called certification documents prepared by Xiao Ling for himself actually used the name of the governor of Bisnia Province, but looking at the other party's face, he was obviously a lot more polite to himself: "Yes, honorable city magistrate, sometimes the governor will invite us to his banquet. ”

Gnaeus nodded, letting the two soldiers go somewhere else, while he walked into the room and checked their bags: "Slave traders in the province of Bisnia?" ”

Wang Weiyi and Richthofen looked at each other, and they didn't know what they were talking about, everyone's first impression of themselves was that they were slave traders, did they really look like slave traders?

"Yes, Lord Archon, we are slave traders." Wang Weiyi replied with a smile: "This time, we have just returned from Gaul and brought back a group of Gallic slaves. It was very sought-after and sold out when it was in Bisnia. So we came to Rome to see the magnificent city of Rome with our own eyes. ”

He went out of his way to say that all his slaves had been sold out in the province of Bisnia, otherwise he would have aroused suspicion if he had no slaves as a slave trader.

The word "Gaul" fell into the ears of Gnaeus and immediately caught his attention: "Gaul? Have you ever seen Caesar? ”

"Ah, Lord Caesar, we are fortunate to have met before, and it is our honor." Wang Weiyi said quietly.

Gnaeus let out an "oh" and suddenly asked, "Did Caesar conquer the Romans in Germania?" ”

Wang Weiyi didn't answer immediately, but quietly paid attention to Gnaeus's expression, and after a while, he said slowly: "It's a pity that Lord Caesar lost to the barbarians. ”

"What, Caesar lost to the barbarians?" An imperceptible hint of joy flashed across Gnaeus's face: "Are you sure?" Why don't we have any news yet? ”

Wang Weiyi immediately replied: "Because any war report has a complete transmission procedure for Rome, but it is different for us slave traders. We must know where a war is going on, so that we can have the opportunity to make money. So we have the fastest horses, and we have our men in every province where war may break out, and because of this, we can get the news of those places in the first place......"

Such an answer was not leaky, and Gnaeus knew that the outbreak of war was the only way to make these people rich, and that they often received news before Rome.

He nodded slightly: "What about the Germania Province?" Have you heard of the new province of Germania established by the Senate and appointed a new governor there? ”

"You're talking about Lord Sentumaros, right?" Wang Weiyi decided to take a risk, at least from the joy that the other party expressed after hearing the news of Caesar's defeat, it was worth taking such a risk: "I have heard some rumors, but I don't know if the rumors are true, if it causes you unhappiness, please don't blame me." ”

"Say, I'm interested."

"It seems that Mistress Sentumaros did not have the assistance of Mistress Caesar, and there seems to be some contradiction between the two, so that Mistress Sentomarus is still stranded in Gaul."

Wang Weiyi's words made Gnaus's eyebrows jump, but he didn't show any special expression: "Oh, I think that's probably the case, my poor cousin." ”

In an instant, Wang Weiyi understood everything. (To be continued......)
