Roman Slave Owner

In a mansion in Masaka City, Li Wei was listening to Archelaus' report.

"General, Mithridates is currently recruiting an army. If we enter the capital now, we will be able to break through. After the winter is over, we may have to face Mithridates' army, and then there will be another big battle .”

Archelaus said.

Although he has left the capital, he still keeps in touch with many nobles in the capital.

Coupled with the defeat of the capital, after knowing that he had taken refuge in Li Wei, many nobles in the capital took the initiative to provide various information to him.

Li Wei couldn't help frowning. He finally understood why Luculus insisted on fighting in winter in history. This opportunity should not be missed.

"I see, I will order the army to get ready and go out immediately."

Li Wei thought for a while and said.

"This is really great. I have some friends in Pontus who admire Rome very much and hope to join the general."

Archelaus said happily.

"Yeah, that would be great, tell me who they are."

Li Wei is also very happy, it is good to have a leading party, all kinds of troubles will be reduced.

So Archelaus introduced him, and the two sides discussed some details, and they didn't let him go until dinner.

At this time, Lucias appeared in due course, and he put several documents on Li Wei's desk.

"General, this is a document that requires your signature. In addition, His Majesty Diotarus invited you and his wife to a banquet."

"Tell him I'm not free, you go and tell his army to prepare, and the army will go to Bendu immediately."

Li Wei picked up a document, looked at it, signed it, then took off the ring and stamped it.

"Will our army also go out?"

"Yes."

"OK."

"Spartacus..."

When he saw the next document, Li Wei was taken aback.

"What's wrong?"

Lucias said that he glanced at the document and found that it was the list of deserters sent up from below.

"Nothing, just thought of something."

Li Wei said that he didn't expect to meet Spartacus now, and he was still a deserter just like in history.

How should he deal with Spartacus? Now his influence is increasing. For example, during the Lepidus rebellion, the pirate rebellion was not so severe.

If Spartacus is allowed to go to Rome like history, will it be different.

"Investigate the matter of this person, and buy another group of people with my money and give them to Quintus Batiatus, so that he can train them into gladiators."

Levi drew a line under the name of Spartacus and said.

"Yes, General."

Although Lucias did not understand why Li Wei would be interested in a Thracian,

But this did not affect his compliance with Li Wei's orders.

Li Wei seemed to see his doubts, so he said, "True God told me, this is a very extraordinary person."

It turns out that in order to fool Lucias and others, Li Wei often made predictions in front of them, which made Lucias and others more devout towards the true god.

So Lucias decided to pay a little attention to this man in the future.

***

From winter to spring, in the mansion of Capua Quintus.

After listening to a visitor, Quintus couldn't believe his ears.

"What did you say? Li Wei sent someone to bring me a gift?"

Quintus was surprised and delighted.

Ever since Li Wei made his fortune, it has been dazzling to the extreme.

Recently, he defeated the 300,000 army in Bendu. Quintus boasted that he was Li Wei's friend, but he didn't expect that Li Wei would prepare gifts for himself when he was busy with military affairs.

"Yes, General Li Wei has already invaded the capital, so he can only entrust me to bring these gifts to you. Besides, he also wrote you a letter."

A slave trader said respectfully, and then took out the letter.

Being able to let Li Wei bother to prepare gifts proves that the friendship between the two parties is very deep.

"Hahaha, he is like this. He is very kind to his friends and has helped me a lot. By the way, I don't know what gift it is?"

Quintus took the letter with a laugh.

"Thirteen slaves, the general wants you to train them into gladiators and let them appear in the arena."

said the slave trader.

Quintus nodded, is that so?

"Bring them up, I think I'll love the present."

Quintus said.

"as you wish."

Soon the slave trader brought 13 slaves up. At this time, Ludia also rushed over after hearing the news. She was very happy after learning the news.

Although Quintus' mansion is quite luxurious, Spartacus is not interested in all this.

Only Sarah was in his mind, and it was Sarah's desperate protection that saved him a lot of suffering.

If it wasn't for her and his father's bribe, he might have been killed by Sainas on the way.

This made him extremely guilty of Sarah, and he vowed to rescue Sarah from the sea of ​​suffering.

When Quintus saw those slaves, Quintus's smile froze slightly.

Some of these slaves were tall and some were short. Although the overall quality looked good, except for the three of them, they were by no means excellent gladiators.

"What did they do before?"

Quintus asked.

"deserter."

said the slave trader.

"Deserters? Does General Li Wei want them to die in the arena?"

Quintus asked.

"I'm not sure about this, maybe there's a reason written in the letter."

The slave trader shook his head.

Quintus frowned. He thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what Li Wei meant.

Li Wei also trained gladiators, he didn't believe that Li Wei didn't understand this.

But he still thanked the slave trader and sent him away personally.

After the slave trader left, Ludia smiled and said, "This is really great. I didn't expect Li Wei to still think about our friendship with you."

"Of course, he called me big brother when I was young."

Quintus said boastfully.

Ludia smiled and pursed her vermilion lips, not intending to tear through his cowhide.

"Quickly open the letter and take a look to see what is written in the letter."

Ludia said.

"OK."

Quintus opened the envelope and decided to share it all with Loudia.

There were mainly some unnutritious greetings in front, but these greetings were like sounds of nature in the eyes of Quintus, making him laugh from ear to ear.

Later, Li Wei mentioned the identities of these people, hoping that they could die in the arena and not resell them.

Sure enough, they were going to be punished. Quintus thought he had already guessed Li Wei's purpose.

"Li Wei gave us a gift, do you think we should invite his family to be our guests?"

Quintus said eagerly.

Recently, the relationship between the two has become more and more cold, which makes Quintus very worried. He has been looking for ways to deepen the relationship between the two, and he thinks this is the best opportunity.

"I think it's a good idea."

Lucia immediately agreed.
