Roman Slave Owner

Facing the anger of Nobanus, those soldiers were silent and did not dare to speak at all.

Li Wei! It must be his fault. Do you want me to make a fool of myself? Do you think I really can't get food?

Nobanus said angrily.

He just didn't want to tear himself apart with the nobles of Capua, so don't blame him for being rude.

Under the orders of Nobanus, some officers left the mansion, went to the barracks outside the city, and mobilized a large number of soldiers into the city.

What are you doing? Do you know whose shop this is? This is the shop of the elders of Capua!

In a grain store, a large number of Roman soldiers rushed into it, ignoring the obstruction of the buddies and shopkeepers, carrying bottles of grain and leaving.

On the order of the Roman consul Nobanus, all the grain stores in Capua were confiscated to help the hungry. Rome will compensate the original price of these grains, but it will take a few days.

A centurion showed the treasurer a copy of Nobanus' order.

Compensation for the original price?

Hearing this, the shopkeeper's mood improved a lot.

Yes, just wait for a while.

said the centurion.

how long?

I don't know about this, you can ask the consul.

Seeing that the matter was irreversible, the shopkeeper had no choice but to quickly report the matter to the owner and ask the owner to make the decision.

Nobanus' grain requisition storm quickly swept across Capua, all grain stores were opened, and even some secret warehouses were found.

A large amount of food was confiscated by Nobanus, but fortunately Nobanus had issued an IOU, and coupled with the majesty of the consul, the matter went quite smoothly.

The nobles and knights of Capua were not just for nothing, so they quickly joined forces to ask Nobanus when they could get the money.

Nobanus agreed very readily to this, saying that he had already reported to Rome, and it should not take more than a month.

These nobles and knights are dubious. When the war comes, spending money in various places is like running water. If you can really pay back the money in a month, this is the food of hundreds of thousands of dinars.

After knowing this situation, Li Wei was speechless for a while.

He knew that the nobles and knights of Capua were likely to be tricked, and Sura would probably be able to fight Capua in a month.

With his super intrinsic, Capua must be in Sura's pocket.

At that time, how will Nobanus pay back the money, and Sura is thankful that he doesn't settle accounts with them. It is purely a dream to want to pay back the money.

Master, the consul's envoy, Admiral Rustis of Campania, seeks an audience.

At this time Yulia said softly.

Yes, let him in.

Levi said that he wanted to see what Rustis wanted to say.

Soon Rustis walked in with a smile on his face, Dear Knight Levi, I brought good news from the Consul. Your Excellency the Consul is generous. He believes that the enemy is now, and we should join hands to deal with the enemy. I hope that both sides can cooperate. Reconciled.

Oh, Your Excellency the Consul is so easy to talk to.

Li Wei said with a smile.

As for his psychology, hehehe, he had deprived himself of his military power so decisively before, so he really thought that such a little kind word would win his trust.

Yes, Your Excellency the Consul has agreed to your proposal and decided to retain the command of one of your legions, and you can station that legion in Capua.

Rustis said with a smile on his face.

Although your conditions are very good, it's a pity that you came late.

Li Wei said with a look of regret.

what do you mean?

Rustis said suspiciously.

I have already protested to the Roman Senate, hoping that the Roman Senate can send someone to mediate the dispute between the two parties.

Li Wei said with a smile.

Although I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Nobanus' gourd, it's better to follow my own plan.

Rustis was taken aback, How could such a trivial matter alarm the Roman Senate?

I was afraid that the consul would attack Dragon City, so I sent out fast horses the day before yesterday, and I'm afraid it's too late to go after him now.

Levi said.

You're scared?

Are you afraid?

To be honest, Rustis has never seen such a reckless person as Li Wei since he grew up.

Withdraw the army at every turn, you must know that this is wartime, even if Nobanus kills Li Wei, Li Wei has nothing to say.

Okay... I will tell the consul about this situation, and I will leave.

Rustis felt that things were out of his control.

No.

Li Wei was too lazy to be polite, and he didn't like this person who had been hanging out with the consul all the time.

What did you say, he said he sent someone to the Roman Senate to ask for mediation.

Nobanus was also taken aback by hearing Rustis' words.

Yes, he said he was afraid that you would attack Dragon City, so he sent a fast horse to Rome the day before yesterday.

Rustis said.

Do you use to do this?

Isn't it just a trivial matter, do you need to go to the Senate to file a complaint?

Nobanus felt frantic for a while. He didn't need to think about what kind of ridicule and doubts this news would attract once it reached Rome.

The enemy has not yet appeared, so he first forced his three legions back.

Incompetence and greed will become synonymous with him.

Will he even become the unlucky ghost killed by his own people like Qin Na?

You didn't tell him to send someone to chase him back.

Nobanus said angrily.

this……

Rustis couldn't speak for a while. He and Li Wei have always had a bad relationship, so he didn't mention it.

And the fast horse that was sent out the day before yesterday, how can it be chased back now.

What a waste!

Nobanus couldn't help cursing.

Rustis blushed from the scolding, but he didn't dare to refute.

Go again, discuss with him, and ask him to bring him back. At least you have to reach a settlement with him before the envoy of the Roman Senate arrives.

Nobanus said.

He felt a headache. He was here to attack Su La, but now he is arguing with Li Wei.

As ordered.

Tragic Rustis can only act as this unwelcome emissary.

Of course, Li Wei would not agree to Nobanus' request. He insisted on waiting for the arrival of the Roman envoy.

What he wanted was to delay time, and when the situation got worse and the chips in Nobanus' hands were further reduced, he had to agree to all his demands.

So Rustis was kicked around like a ball by both sides, completely becoming Nobanus' punching bag.

What Nobanus didn't know was that Livi's fast horses were actually not fast. They walked slowly for ten days before reaching Rome, and then submitted their protest letter to the Roman Senate, depriving Nobanus of their own There was a fiercely worded protest against the actions of the military power.

The Roman Senate did not dare to neglect this matter. In any case, Li Wei is also a giant, with three legions under his command.

How did Nobanus annoy him, but they also understood what Nobanus thought.
