I have three hundred soldiers, all of whom can warm wine and kill Hua Xiong

The banquet was held in Gervase's mansion.

At the banquet, in addition to Severus, Gervas also hosted a dozen senators from the Senate.

These senators were not only famous in the city of Rome, but they were also involved in the plan to assassinate Severus.

"I hid 500 people in the courtyard, and the rest were hidden outside the courtyard. At the banquet tonight, I will find the gladiators who have been arranged in advance to fight in front of Severus."

"When Severus' attention is completely attracted by the gladiators, the two gladiators will look for opportunities to get as close as possible to Severus. When the time is right, the two gladiators will attack Severus at the same time."

"Tonight, if you are lucky, two gladiators can kill Severus."

Gervase's words made all the elders nodded slightly.

Gladiatorial performances at banquets were a very common entertainment item in Rome.

The appearance of the two gladiators would not arouse Severus' alertness.

After a while, an elder stood up and added.

"This is still a little unsafe. I suggest poisoning Severus' wine. I bought some poisons from merchants from the east. These poisons are said to seal the throat when blood is seen. As long as Severus drinks it The next glass of poisoned wine, I guarantee he will die."

"Well, if the combination of poisonous wine and gladiators fails to kill Severus, then let the 500 people I ambush in advance rush out and send Severus to his last leg."

Gervase and others were ready to kill Severus.

But things did not develop as expected by Gervas and others.

Because Severus broke the appointment.

Before the banquet was about to begin, Severus' cronies found Gervase.

"His Majesty the Emperor has had a fever and cough for the past two days and is not feeling well. He cannot attend tonight's banquet. In order to express his apology, His Majesty has decided to hold a banquet in the palace tomorrow night. Please, adults, please don't be late tomorrow night."

Gervase and others were deceived.

They did not expect that they would be defeated by Severus at the critical moment.

Today's arrangements were all in vain.

No one was even sure whether there was any leakage of what happened today.

If the news about what happened today leaks out, everyone will definitely go to the banquet hosted by Severus tomorrow without finishing their meal.

"Someone must have leaked the news about today's matter. The reason why Severus suddenly decided not to come to tonight's banquet is that he must have known our plan in advance."

Gervas reached out and knocked on the table, and then said to everyone: "The banquet hosted by Severus at the palace tomorrow night must be a bad banquet, and we must not participate."

Everyone couldn't help but look sad after hearing what Gervas said.

If Severus can be killed tonight, everything will be easy.

With the influence of the Senate, they could support a new emperor to replace Severus.

But Severus was fine, so things were a little troublesome.

Because everyone knows that Severus is a ruthless character who holds military power.

If Severus knew that Gervas and others were planning to kill him, he would never let Gervas and others go.

Gervase thought carefully for a moment and then said to everyone: "Now there are only two roads left in front of us. First, we leave the city of Rome immediately and go east to join His Majesty Commodus. With our ability in Rome, Influence, we surrender to His Majesty Commodus, His Majesty will not treat us badly. Secondly, the road is dark. Tonight we gather all the power in hand and take the risk to kill Severus."

After hearing what Gervas said, some senators immediately stood up and objected loudly: "If we leave the city of Rome like this, the wealth we have accumulated for many years will be directly confiscated by Severus. I don't know what you think, anyway, if you do this , I’m a little reluctant.”

"Yes, there is no family, no wealth, and no foundation we have accumulated in the city of Rome. Even if we find His Majesty Commodus, His Majesty Commodus may not treat us. Even if he has arrangements for us, he will only let us We hold some unprofitable idle positions. You must know that the meaning and purpose of the existence of the Senate is to restrain the emperor from abusing the power in his hands. His Majesty Commodus will not put shackles on himself. "

"Severus didn't touch us tonight, he just invited us to a banquet tomorrow. This is enough to show that Severus is not ready to deal with us yet, and Severus is also deliberately delaying time. If we suddenly attack the palace tonight, It’s not impossible to launch an attack and kill Severus.”

"There are no Roman legions stationed near the palace, and the guards inside the palace may not necessarily fight for Severus. We now have more than 3000 people, plus the slaves we keep in captivity. It shouldn't be particularly difficult to gather 5000 people."

"Let's fight. If we don't fight, we won't have a chance."

Gervase and others are driven by fear, ambition and greed.

After a long time, he decided to fight Severus.

They gathered 5000 people as quickly as possible and found ways to arm these 5000 people.

When 5000 people marched straight to the palace, Severus got the news immediately.

Severus did not show any panic after receiving the news, "It seems that there is indeed something wrong with the banquet they prepared tonight. I just refused to attend the banquet, so they couldn't help but start taking risks."

Severus picked up a wine glass and smiled, then turned to the people around him and asked, "Are you ready with everything I asked you to prepare?"

The people around Severu nodded heavily.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we are fully prepared. The newly reorganized First Legion is now ambushing the palace. I can guarantee that Gervas and others will not be able to leave the palace alive tonight."

Severus nodded slightly, put down the wine glass in his hand, and coughed violently a few times.

"Let's settle it quickly tonight. Don't make this matter too big. In addition, capture Gervase and others and kill them directly. They have influence in the Senate. If they are left unkilled, they will be in trouble."

"After killing Gervas and others, immediately search for the wealth accumulated by their family. Then give part of this wealth to other senators in the Senate. As long as the other senators get the benefits, they will not be involved in this matter. The boss continues to make things difficult for us.”

"Your Majesty, don't worry, we can definitely handle this matter."

Seeing Severus nodded and coughing again, his subordinates couldn't help but asked with a hint of concern: "Your Majesty, your body?"

"The weather is getting a bit cold, and many people in the palace and I accidentally fell ill. I have already seen a doctor. There is nothing serious about my body!"
