Roman Slave Owner

Glius, did I invite you here to let you sleep late? I have never seen such a lazy guard like you. Are you here to be a master or a guard...

Then there was another swearing, which made Li Wei very angry.

That guard captain was so insidious that he dared to bully him.

This matter is endless, do you really think that Li Wei can be bullied casually?

He was the only one who bullied others, how could anyone bully him?

A cold light flashed in the eyes of the captain of the guard, I really thought this matter was over, you are so naive.

Well, father, stop talking, I heard he had a long shift last night, and there won't be another time.

Emilia said, shaking his father's arm.

Seeing his daughter speaking for her, Camillus stopped, and then looked at his daughter suspiciously, You have been speaking for him, have you taken a fancy to her?

Father, what are you talking about?

Emilia blushed with anger, and quickly got into the car.

It's fine, I warn you, that kid has no money and power, you'd better not associate with him. Although our family is down and out, we are from a real noble family. There are many dignitaries in Rome where I will take you today , if you fancy someone, tell me.

what!!!

There was a high-pitched scream from inside the carriage.

Okay, okay, I won't say anything, I'm leaving now.

Camillus said quickly.

The convoy set off slowly, at this time Li Wei felt the hostility from the guard captain and other guards.

It seems that I have been excluded, a group of guys who don't know the so-called.

It didn't take long for them to come to a synagogue near the Utica People's Square, which is the seat of the Utica Senate, and was temporarily recruited by the governor as a bidding venue.

A large number of carriages had already parked in the square, and Camillus quickly talked to some people with a flattering face.

Those people looked indifferent,

This embarrassed the guards for a while. It seemed that the status of Camillus, a down-and-out nobleman, was not as high as expected.

At this moment, a young man walked over with a smile on his face.

Emilia, how are you doing?

It's not good at all, why are you here?

Emilia pouted and said, it seemed that she was very familiar with this young man.

It's not because your parents stopped you, or I would have gone to you long ago.

The young man said with a smile.

Seeing the young man's tone, Li Wei felt uncomfortable for no reason.

Who is that person?

Levi asked.

He is the son of a senator in Utica, and his name is Hanon. It's just that the master doesn't like them together, because he is not a Roman.

Menenia said.

See, this is a match made in heaven. You and Miss are far behind.

At this time, the captain of the guard came over and said.

Li Wei gave him a look of disgust, it was like a dog's skin plaster, and he couldn't hide it.

Do you like Miss?

At this time, Menenia said with a resentful face.

How...how is this possible?

Levi laughed out loud.

It's not the best. None of you men are good things.

Menenia said with a cold snort.

Li Wei couldn't help touching his nose, it was fine just now, why did he immediately lose his face.

Did he do something wrong just now?

Actually, there are still good men among men, such as me.

At this time, the guard said in a long-term Ai Ai.

You are not a good person either, go away.

Menenia crossed her waist again and said to the captain of the guard.

The captain of the guard left here in embarrassment, which made him hate Li Wei even more.

Nima's temper is really hot enough, I might as well call her Little Pepper in the future, Li Wei secretly thought.

At this moment, Camillus spotted the young man and immediately walked back angrily.

Hanon! Didn't I warn you to approach my daughter? Let me tell you, our Camillus family is a nobleman in Rome, not something you, a Phoenician, can be worthy of.

Don't look at Camillus's low status in front of those Roman businessmen, but he is tough enough in front of Hanon.

I don't know why, Li Wei looked at Camillus at this time and it was pleasing to the eye.

Dad, he and I are just ordinary friends. What are you talking about!

Emilia said dissatisfied.

I understand, it's just that my father will accompany the governor to participate in the bidding meeting today, so let me gain insight.

Hanon not only did not show the slightest angry expression, but said cautiously.

Oh, is your father familiar with the governor?

Camillus said.

It's okay. My father often visits the governor's house recently, and the relationship with the governor is not bad.

Although Hanon had a calm face, the pride in his tone couldn't be concealed.

Really? Do you have any inside information?

Camillus struggled a bit, but finally asked.

Li Wei gave him a contemptuous look, and it seemed that he still looked up to him.

This... we might as well talk aside.

Hanon said with a reserved face.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion from the crowd.

What happened?

Camillus asked.

Here comes Demetrius, and it turns out to be Demetrius, Pompey's chief steward.

Someone exclaimed.

Who is Demetrius?

Emilia couldn't help asking.

He used to be a slave next to him, but it is said that he is very capable and good at making money. Once he entered the enemy camp single-handedly and persuaded a legion under Scipio's banner to surrender to Sulla, and thus gained freedom. made Pompey's chief steward, and worked for him in everything that made money.

Hanon said quickly.

Li Wei couldn't help rolling his eyes. They obviously came up with that plan, and it wasn't Demetrius who implemented it alone. Why should it all be attributed to Demetrius.

It turned out to be him.

The faces of the Camillus family were a little complicated. They didn't expect him to instigate the army under Scipio's command, which made them have a bad impression of him.

The arrival of Demetrius was like a superstar walking on the red carpet, which attracted warm welcome from everyone.

Demetrius had a smug look on his face. With Pompey's fame all over the world, he can be regarded as a little famous.

I'm afraid that even the kings of some small countries have to curry favor, let alone these local turtle merchants.

Surrounded by the crowd, he walked towards the Senate.

At this moment, he seemed to find a familiar figure.

But soon the figure disappeared, and Demetrius shook his head. He was probably dazzled. At this time, he should be commanding his six legions in the south. How could he be here?

After Demetrius entered, several envoys of veteran nobles came. They stood on the right team in this turmoil, and their own strength not only did not become smaller, but became stronger.

Even compared with Pompey, it is not much better.
