Yakurius knew very well that he had lost the naval battle, but he definitely did not want to admit defeat so easily.

He's going to have to fight, and if he can beat Sevious, he'll save some face.

He had no doubts about his fighting prowess, and Pompey had hired the best fighting instructors in Rome for him, and trained him meticulously. He even brought in gladiators to fight with him, and each time Yakurius was able to win easily.

Even Pompey's best gladiators had been defeated by him.

When he saw Sevius stabbing at him with a sword, he hurriedly resisted with all his might, and then he heard Sevius's voice: "I know that Pompey has invited many people to teach you, and I have heard you defeat many gladiators, but do you think you can become a real warrior in this way......

The irony in the words was heard by Yakurius, under the attack of Sevious, Yakurius wanted to counterattack, but he couldn't find a chance to counterattack, and barely avoided a few swords in a row, Yakurius was already tired and panting: "No matter what, I won't fail......"

"Poor boy......" Compared with his opponent, Yakurius looked calm: "The real battlefield is completely different from your training ground, those gladiators are just playing with you, do you think they really dare to hurt you?" Do you really think that this chick, who is always kept at home, can defeat those eagles in the sky? Son, you won't succeed until you're thirty......"

Maybe...... Maybe those gladiators were really there to make themselves......

Sevious' words confused Jaculius. If he really has the strength to defeat the gladiators, why is he not able to resist under the attack of Sevious?

The heart is in that cranky, and there is an oversight in the hand. The wooden sword was knocked flying. Before he could react next, Sevious' wooden sword stabbed heavily into his chest. In a fit of pain, Yakurius collapsed on the deck. Then, one foot firmly stomped him to the ground......

For a moment, Yakurius was disillusioned......

At the same moment, the battle on the battleship was over, and all of Yakulus' men were defeated. The black battleship won a complete victory.

And with the encouragement of the black battleship, the entire civilian army also turned defeat into victory.

A match that caught the attention of all Roma ended in somewhat strange fashion......

Sevious stood on the deck and looked at the Romans on the shore. Then he suddenly raised his wooden sword.

"-Sevieus-Sevieus-Sevieus-"

Frantic cheers rang out from the shore.

At this moment, Sevieus, the young general who had always won on the battlefield, became an idol in the hearts of the Romans again!

The cheers rose higher and higher, Wang Weiyi smiled and looked at everything in front of him, and then looked at Pompey beside him.

Pompey's face was hard to see. He probably never dreamed of the Poseidon Festival that he had carefully planned. In the end, the meeting ended in such a way.

Sevious! Pompey stared at the guy who was being cheered, and the anger in his eyes was enough to burn Sevius to the ground......

When the awards began, Pompey barely maintained his demeanor and placed the crown of olive leaves, a symbol of victory, on Sevious's head.

"Congratulations, Sevious." Pompey took a deep breath.

"Xie Lu Xie, the only consul ......" Sevious smiled, "It's a pity that he defeated Yakurius, I think he is probably sad now......

"yes. It's very sad, but it's something you have to experience on the road to growth. Pompey also had a smile on his face: "I hope one day." He's able to hit you back in the same way he did with his failures......"

"I'm looking forward to that day." There was not the slightest fear in Sevious's words.

Then he set his eyes on the Romans, who regarded him as heroes, and the cheers rang out here again......

The unfinished Poseidon Festival is over, and Singaroa is a little reluctant: "Splitus, will you stay in Rome for a long time?" ”

"I don't know, Lady Singaroa." Wang Weiyi said lightly: "It depends on my business situation, if it goes well, I think I will probably leave soon...... Of course, the focus of my business is now back in Rome and I think I'll see your ...... more often in the future."

"Ah, that's great." Singaroa was a little excited: "I am honored to invite you to my home when you wish, and in return for your generosity, you will receive the best hospitality." ”

"Thank you, Lady Singaroa."

Wang Weiyi knows that sometimes the value of a valuable gift will be huge.

This is especially true for those who are greedy for money, whether men or women......

．．．．．．

The Colosseum of Ancient Rome.

Wang Weiyi has been standing here for a long time.

"This zoo can accommodate more than 90,000 spectators. There are three tiers of seats. The lower, middle and upper floors, with a stand-only stand on the top floor, were reserved for the lowest members of society: women, slaves and the poor. But even on other floors, the seats were arranged according to social status and occupation: special boxes owned by members of the nobility and the virgins who watched the flame. The patriarchs, dressed in white and red-trimmed robes, sat in the choir on the same floor; And so there were warriors and commoners......" Richthofen's voice sounded behind him: "There are also special seats for people of different professions, such as soldiers, writers, scholars, and teachers, as well as foreign monks, etc. Spectators enter the Colosseum through 80 arched entrances on the first floor, with a further 160 exits spread across the seats on each level. Known as spouts, through which the audience can pour in and out, the chaotic and out-of-control crowd is thus able to be quickly evacuated......"

"You know a lot about this place." Wang Weiyi turned his head. smiled and said, "Do you know why I came here for Lu?" Because I feel like a gladiator now, and I have to win one victory after another to make sure I don't get killed. And any negligence will lead me to the point of no return. ”

"But at least you have another victory...... "Richthofen smiled: "We won a great victory, and almost all the Romans bet on the noble legions to win, but they were wrong, and we made a lot of money." Now I have the pleasure of telling you. We've earned enough to get all our money back. And there are some balances ......"

"It's just a little entertainment." Wang Weiyi, who didn't pay much attention to money, didn't care too much: "What about Bereya? ”

"Right there." Richthofen beckoned in that direction: "He also made a lot of money this time." ”

Berea came to Wang Weiyi in fear, and said humbly in a flattering tone: "Respected Explius. I don't know that you are a great rich man from the East, and that you are so trusted by the only consul, please forgive me for my rudeness to you that day, and thank you for all that you have brought me. ”

"Don't care. Berea. Wang Weiyi smiled indifferently: "People who are willing to do things for me." There's always more to get than they ever imagined. ”

Berea hurriedly said: "I am willing to serve you, you can fully trust my loyalty." Is there anything else you would like to command? ”

Loyal? These people will not be loyal to anyone but money.

Wang Weiyi sighed softly: "There is nothing to tell you to do for the time being." But I think I'll come to you at any time, and I hope that the next time you see me, you'll remember what you said today. Okay, you go back and enjoy your money first. ”

"I promise, then please allow me to take my leave......"

Look at the figure of Berea's departure. Richthofen shrugged: "Why are you always so interested in greedy people?" ”

"Because they can be easily bought." Wang Weiyi replied nonchalantly.

"But they can also be bought by others......

"So. It's up to you to see who is paying the higher price, so much so that your competitors can't afford to pay the same price as you. Speaking of this, Wang Weiyi froze: "Manfred, I think I should visit the winners and losers now." ”

Every bit of his investment is rewarded, both for winners and losers.

This is true of Pompey and Sevius. From the first moment they accept their sponsorship, they have to take this into account.

When the alliance between them and Wang Weiyi began, they could never get rid of this person in their lives......

．．．．．．

Sevious's home was already full of guests who had come to congratulate him, and the poets and dramatists would probably never have imagined how much trouble Sevios had actually gotten into to him.

They were still there in a loud voice, tasting the good wine that their master had prepared for them, and singing the hymns they had just written.

And Sevios also accepted all this with peace of mind......

"Lord Sevious, here comes Spreus."

As soon as he heard this name, the barefoot Sevio immediately stood up, and greeted him in person: "Spulius, my friend, I was about to send someone to invite you, but I didn't expect you to arrive first. Allow me, my friend, to express my sincerest thanks to you! ”

"Congratulations, Sevious." Wang Weiyi smiled and hugged him gently, and then whispered: "I don't want the cooperation between us to be known by others. ”

All the guests looked at Wang Weiyi with strange eyes, and the name "Explius" had already resounded throughout Rome.

He was the patron behind the festival and a friend of Pompey, and perhaps he would soon become one of the most powerful men in Rome, just like Krassus.

In countless pairs of enthusiastic eyes, Sevius invited Wang Weiyi to a separate room, and when only the two of them were left, Sevius couldn't wait to say, "Spulius." Please accept my thanks once again, without your ship I simply would not have been able to achieve victory in this naval battle. The moment when the citizens of Rome cheered. It's as if I'm back in triumph......"

"I want to congratulate you on your victory first......" Wang Weiyi said, and his face showed deep worry: "However, before that, almost everyone was ready for the victory of Yakurius, and no one thought that the last victor would actually be you, I think at this point, you have offended Pompey." ”

Sevious's face also became gloomy: "Yes, I offended Pompey, but it started the moment I decided to participate in the competition. I've already had that realization. What can Pompey do to me? Do you want to find a random crime to impose on me? No, he would have angered countless Romans by doing so! ”

This man may be very courageous, but his political consciousness is too low. Or maybe he didn't take Pompey seriously at all......

"But I'm still worried about your situation." Wang Weiyi said lightly: "Pompey is not the kind of person who is generous and can accept all failures, he will find a way." You can imagine if you lost everything you have and become a civilian. So what happens? ”

Right now. Sevio was a little worried.

After all, offending Pompey is no fun......

He looked at Wang Weiyi, and suddenly seemed to have found something: "Spulius, do you have a way to help me get out of this predicament?" ”

"I think I probably have some." A smile resurfaced on Wang Weiyi's face: "If you could continue to lead a legion out of Rome, would you be willing?" ”

Sevious' eyes widened in disbelief.

Re-commanding the Legion in battle, it was something he had always dreamed about, but it was a pity. This dream has never been realized.

He was a little suspicious again, in order to fulfill his dream. He had made many efforts, but none of them had succeeded, and could Spreus, who had only returned to Rome for a short time, really be able to do it?

As if seeing his doubts, Wang Weiyi said slowly: "If you believe me, I will definitely be able to solve it." But you must be patient, and you must not hold such a grand and lavish banquet any more, and I don't want you to make any more bad impressions on the people of the Senate. At the same time, I ask you to stop hyping up the victory in this naval battle, and to act as if you had never participated in a naval battle at all......"

Sevious listened very carefully, and when Wang Weiyi said something, he nodded.

As long as he can return to the battlefield, he can agree to any conditions.

Although he knew what Lustus did, he now had confidence in Prius that he would not have been able to win the naval battle without his help.

Wang Weiyi explained the details to be paid attention to one by one, and then said: "I hope you don't just listen to it, but you must do what I say, otherwise you will miss this opportunity, and no one will be able to help you anymore." ”

"My friend, I would love to say those words of gratitude to you again, but I just want to hide my respect for you in my heart......" Sevious said solemnly: "When I triumph again, you will be in Rome, and you will hear the citizens of Rome cheering for me, and you will hear them shouting the name of Spalius!" ”

He will probably never know that Wang Weiyi wants more than just some simple things......

"Sevios, Sevious!" At this time, a man burst in: "The guests are waiting for you, and behold, I have made a new poem for you, praising your merits, satirizing Pompey and his son of unknown origin, and now let us sing it to you......"

It was Krasicius who came in.

Sevious noticed that Wang Weiyi's face was gloomy, and he hurriedly said, "No, Krasicius, I still have something very important to do here, and I will sing your masterpiece to me later." ”

"Ah, so the venerable Explius is too." Only then did Krasicius discover Wang Weiyi, and he looked a little regretful: "This is what I wrote out of a sudden inspiration, and I thought you couldn't wait to hear it?" Since you have something to do now, it doesn't matter, my friends and I will be waiting for you outside. ”

When he left, Wang Weiyi's face became even more ugly: "Sevious, these friends of yours can't stay here anymore, especially Krasicius." 'Praise your exploits, satirize Pompey and his son of unknown origin'? This will cause you endless troubles. Pompey, who was a loser, had no room for remedy when he heard these poems. ”

Even if Sevius was slow to react, he quickly understood the power of it.

He was reluctant to listen to these friends, he liked to hear their poetry and those literary works, but compared to his own future, these things seemed to be able to be put aside for a while.

As long as you can return triumphantly one day, all that you have lost will come back to you again within a day.

Thinking of this, he said solemnly: "I assure you once again that from now on, until the day of my triumph, there will be no more feasts, no more poetry, and I will cut off all contact with them for the time being, and do exactly as you wish, as long as I can return to the battlefield." ”

Wang Weiyi nodded silently, in his overall deployment, Sevious is obviously a very, very important chess piece! (To be continued......)
