Wang Weiyi now knows why Pompey is calling himself here. He was to use his own money to create a reputation for generosity for Yakurius.

And it seems that Pompey clearly attaches great importance to this adopted son of his.

But today, Wang Weiyi is not without gains, he at least found a very interesting thing, in the banquet of Sevieus, although Pompey personally attended, and behaved very friendly with Sevious, but in fact, the two people are full of contradictions.

Sevios was also a young general, full of ambitions, but lost command of the army because of Caesar. Pompey gave him a very large house, but what was that? Sevious's quest is more than that.

Now, however, Pompey is more interested in Yakurius......

Wang Weiyi felt that he seemed to have a chance to take advantage of it......

While there he was thinking, Pompey's voice resounded: "We will have all the necessary entertainment, and in addition to these programs, my adopted son Jaculius will also put on a naval show in the city of Rome!" ”

"Oh my God! Naval battle show in the city of Rome!! ”

The Romans present exchanged their heads one after another, and an elder got up from his seat: "Pompey, how are you going to hold a naval battle show in the city of Rome?" Do you want to fill the Colosseum with water? Or is the legend true that the immortal god Jupiter possessed his divine power to you? I've heard that Jupiter's brother in charge of the seas doesn't have a good relationship with you. ”

With that, the patriarch looked around. I can't stop being proud of these witty words. Sure enough, the crowd applauded his humor, which made him very popular.

"Previously during the war. When the sea stormed and swallowed my fleet several times, I did say, 'I will win even if Neptune is not pleased,' and on the day of the entertainment in the arena, I removed the statue of Neptune from the sacred procession. Pompey also laughed: "However, this time it was held by Yakurius, and the noble god should be satisfied with the grand celebration of his festival." Not to be haunted by the offenses I took when I was younger. ”

Pompey waited for the laughter in the hall to subside before continuing: "This naval battle show will be divided into two armies, and all Roman citizens who can afford it will be able to equip a boat to participate. The best of them will receive 50,000 Sesters, the second will receive 30,000 Sesters, and the third will receive 10,000, and the owner of the boat will also have a winning symbol engraved on the bow. However, there is one condition that must be met by the participating boats. It was to bring a shipload of grain to Rome. People don't have to worry about food shortages while entertaining, and you should know that the consumption of fine wine during the festival is amazing, and a lot of food is spent on brewing. As for how to conduct naval battles in the city of Rome, you will know how to unload the grain into the granaries of Rome and sail the ships to the mouth of the Tiber. ”

The people of Rome were satisfied, and most of them went home for lunch in good spirits. Only a few people who still wanted to see Pompey and Yakurius up close were gathered at the door of the Senate. In the Senate, Augustus led Yakurius to each of the senators one by one, greeting them and having a cordial conversation.

Anyone with a keen sense of smell would have understood what Augustus' actions meant today. Not to mention those whose interests are deeply involved......

"Come on, Yakurius. Let me introduce you to a friend. After introducing the senators to Yakurius, Pompey brought him to Wang Weiyi, who stood silently in a corner: "Splius, a generous friend. ”

Yakurius was a little surprised, it seemed that this man named Prius did not have to be a few years older himself, but Pompey seemed to take him very seriously, which was very rare to see in Pompey in the past.

"Spreus, I think you ......also recognized my adopted son Yakulius," Pompey smiled, "Well, do you think this young man will be able to succeed?" ”

"Of course, Lord Archon." Wang Weiyi also replied to Pompey with a smile: "He was cultivated by you, and he was introduced by you, so of course he can be successful." Ah, if there's anything you need me to help with, just ask, and I'll do my best to help you with whatever you can......"

This is exactly what Pompey wanted to hear, and he walked to a place with few people, Wang Weiyi, Richthofen, and Yakulius, and after a moment of silence, said: "You have learned that there will be a great expense for the celebration of the Feast of the Sea Gods this time, and that all the expenses will be borne by me, and if Rome bears them, it will not be approved by the Senate." And my poor Yakurius......"

He glanced at his adopted son, "He has to bear everyone's food and drink, which is a huge expense......

Sure enough, just as he thought, Wang Weiyi smiled faintly: "Your generosity will move all the Romans, and I, as a Roman citizen who once stayed away from Rome, must do my part." Lord Sole Consul, please don't worry, I will bear all the expenses of your adopted son, and not only that, but I will also be responsible for the prize money in the Poseidon Festival......"

Pompey smiled, very happily. He was now convinced that he had not seen the wrong person.

He wooed "Splitus" because of his huge wealth, although Pompey did not know how large "Splitus's" wealth was. But that's how he felt, that this man had a wealth that was in no way inferior to that of Crassus.

After Crassus' death, Pompey's alliance with Caesar was completely broken, and he needed to find a new rich man to ally with him, to serve as his inexhaustible treasury.

And "Splius" did a good job of filling the huge hole left by Crassus when Pompey needed help the most......

Pompey had a smile written all over his face: "So, how do you want me to repay you?" ”

"My contribution to you. There is no need to reciprocate. Wang Weiyi said lightly.

"Ah, you're a true friend, but I can't accept your support for nothing." Pompey thought for a moment: "You are an upright Roman citizen. It just so happens that there are several vacancies in the Senate, and there is no age limit for members. At the next official meeting of the Senate, I will do everything in my power to elect you as a new member of the Senate......"

This is something that Wang Weiyi never expected. Members of the Roman Senate? An archon of a Germanic confederation to serve as a member of the Roman Senate? It's so ironic.

Probably Pompey would never have dreamed that the person standing in front of him and talking to him was Rome's greatest enemy!

Wang Weiyi said casually and solemnly: "Thank you for your trust." The One Archon. If I am able to become a member of the Parliament, then I will do my best to fulfill the responsibilities of a Roman duke and a member of the Roman Council. ”

In a sense, the alliance between Wang Weiyi and Pompey has already taken shape.

It's a very strange alliance. The two were supposed to be mortal rivals on the battlefield.

Pompey would not have thought of it anyway. The leader of the barbarians, who had defeated Caesar several times, dared to enter Rome with such a swagger, and stood in front of him and talked to him.

On the contrary, he is now quite glad that he has found a new ally with great wealth......

"Pompey. How many famous actors have you invited to the Poseidon Festival? At this time, a woman's voice rang out.

Several people's heads turned back in unison. See a very young, beautiful and enchanting woman. A smile immediately appeared on Caesar's face: "Singaroa, you are even more beautiful than yesterday. ”

"You're a compliment, Master Pompey." Singaroya's smile looked very seductive, and she looked at Wang Weiyi: "Aren't you going to introduce your new friend to me?" ”

"A young man of great wealth, who has carried out numerous adventures in the East, an upright Roman citizen, a new member of the future Roman Senate, my friend - Spulius." Pompeo introduced Wang Weiyi's long list of titles: "At the same time. He is also my new patron...... As for this young and beautiful lady, who enjoys a high reputation in the city of Rome. Singaroa, the wife of the new governor of the province of Germania, Sentumaros. ”

Oh, this is Sentumaros's wife? Wang Weiyi paid more attention to Singaroya a few times.

In addition to being beautiful, this woman gives him more of a feeling of enchantment, revealing a kind of forgetful fox charm all over her body.

"Hello, Lady Singaroa." Wang Weiyi was very polite and authentic.

"Hello, young Rich Spalius." Singaroa smiled seductively: "Didn't you give me the gift you brought from the East?" ”

Wang Weiyi smiled: "I didn't expect to meet you here, on the Poseidon Festival, I will personally present the gift I prepared for you, hoping to get your love." ”

Several people laughed, but no one took it seriously. In Rome, such promises happened almost every day......

．．．．．．

"Ernst, are you really going to sponsor this Poseidon Festival?" When he returned to his quarters, Richthofen couldn't help but ask.

Wang Weiyi nodded: "This is good for us, sponsoring a Poseidon Festival is just a negligible amount for the base, but this can further gain Pompey's trust." Now the tension between Pompey and Caesar is fraught with contradictions, and the greater the power and prestige of Pompey in Rome, the more a threat to Caesar. And when Caesar was eyeing us in Gaul, he probably never dreamed that we were raiding his lair in Rome......"

Richthofen probably understood a little: "A member of the Roman Senate? It's ridiculous, you're an enemy of Rome! ”

Wang Weiyi couldn't help laughing: "Yes, I am the enemy of Rome, and sooner or later I will become the public enemy of Rome, but this is not bad, Manfred, don't you think it is so exciting?" ”

"Pompey would probably be angry if he found out who you really are." Richthofen shrugged.

At this time, the butler Balras walked in: "Dear master, Lord Sevios has sent someone to invite you to his mansion, he has something to discuss with you. ”

Wang Weiyi and Richthofen exchanged glances. Sevios? What's the matter with him looking for himself?

They suddenly thought of what Sevious and Clasicius had done at the banquet, and they couldn't help but be a little frightened.

It's really scared. The dignified Skeletal Baron would rather face the thousands of troops on the battlefield than want to see the ambiguous eyes of Sevius or Clasicius......

．．．．．．

Fortunately, there was nothing that worried Wang Weiyi. When he saw Sevios again, the once glamorous young Roman general had worry written on his face.

When he saw Wang Weiyi, he smiled reluctantly: "Spreus, my friend, can that female gladiator still satisfy you?" ”

"Ah, yes, thank you for your kindness." Wang Weiyi said calmly: "Then." Did you call me here just for the female gladiators? ”

Straight to the point, Sevious's sadness finally made a little less: "You are really a straightforward person, since you have already asked." Then I don't think there's anything to hide. I think you've seen what happened today, Pompey betrayed me! It's exactly the same as when Caesar betrayed me. ”

In front of himself, a "friend" who had only known each other for two days, actually said such a thing, which was much beyond Wang Weiyi's expectations. He said quietly, "I'd love to hear from you. ”

Sevius had an indignant look on his face: "After Caesar arbitrarily deprived me of my power. Pompey comforted me. In addition to giving me this luxurious house, he promised that in the future he would give me back everything I had lost, and I believed him, but now he did not do it at all...... He preferred to believe in his adopted son, in front of all the senators and all the citizens of Rome, so solemnly launched Yakurius, so what about me? Am I going to be with the poets and dramatists in this mansion forever? ”

Wang Weiyi completely understood. Pompey had made a promise to him. But now he has been abandoned. This is no wonder why Sevious did not give Pompey face in front of so many people.

Sevios may have been talented in military command, but he was not very good at man. He would rather risk offending Pompey than vent his anger.

It's unwise, very unwise, and it could even bring him some terrible disaster.

However, for Wang Weiyi, this is a person who can be used and a great opportunity to take advantage of......

As long as he can hit Rome, Wang Weiyi doesn't care what means are used, even if they are despicable in the eyes of the Romans!

Sevious didn't think of Wang Weiyi's thoughts at all, he still said angrily: "Did he think this would be okay? No, I will never give up, I will tell everyone that I am the most promising in all of Rome, and that no one can beat me, not even the Yakurius that Pompey has introduced! ”

He was a little out of control, Wang Weiyi immediately said: "Please calm down your emotions, anger will only make people lose their minds." So now you can tell me, what do you need me to help with? I'm sure you're not here to whine here. ”

"Yes, you guessed right, I did come to you to discuss something with you......" Sevious tried to calm himself down: "I must try to win this Poseidon Festival competition, this is probably my only chance." But I know from elsewhere that Pompey had found the best ships and instructors for Yakulius in order to ensure his victory, and that it was so unfair, so unfair, who would have thought that there would be a naval battle in Rome? Everyone, including me, was not prepared at all, so Pompey simply declared the victory of Yakurius! ”

His loud noise made Wang Weiyi laugh, and he knew very well what Sevios needed: "Sevious, my friend, I think I can help you." ”

Joy flashed on Sevious's face: "Really? Spulius, my friend? ”

"Yes, I never cheated on friends." Wang Weiyi nodded solemnly: "When I was in the East, I saw the best and fastest ship, and I can help you find it quickly, all you have to do is to train seriously." When the naval battle began, I firmly believed that you would be able to gain great convenience by the ships I provided, and that it would be a great shock to all the Romans. ”

"Oh my God, my friend, how can you make me thank you." Sevios stood up and hugged Wang Weiyi heavily.

Wang Weiyi's goosebumps all over his body rose......

Sevious was really full of gratitude to Wang Weiyi at this time. He was not familiar with ships, and he had no real friends who could help him, and who had produced the poets and dramatists in the city of Rome.

He rushed to the hospital to find the new "Splitus", and he didn't have much hope, after all, even if "Splitus" really had the ability to help him, he would not risk offending Pompey.

However, what he didn't expect was that "Splitus" agreed to help him.

"I think this should be a secret between us." Wang Weiyi hurriedly broke free of Sevious's embrace: "This secret is only limited to the knowledge between you and me, scolding? ”

"Yes, I can swear by my honor!" Sevious replied very seriously.

Now, a new alliance has been formed, and this is Wang Weiyi's second alliance in Rome. (To be continued......)
