Roman Slave Owner

"You just need to convey my words to the Senate. I hope that the Senate and the Citizens' Assembly can be held to discuss this matter."

Levi said.

The elders glanced at each other and said, "Okay, we will report this to the Senate."

Some senators left, but some stayed, like Cicero.

"Are you surprised?"

Li Wei said with a smile.

surprise? It's obviously frightening, okay?

Cicero glanced at Li Wei with resentment, and didn't inform you about such a big event beforehand, did you not regard me as your own?

"This matter is very important. I hope you can work with Pompeo's people to handle this matter well."

Levi said.

"OK."

Cicero said.

"Also inform Crassus that Pompeo and I are waiting for him in the Vatican and hope to see him as soon as possible."

Levi said.

Pompey's army was not far away, and he knew that Pompey had come to the Vatican secretly.

Crassus' villa was warm as spring, and Crassus was lying on a couch in a woolen sweater.

This is a trend brought by Levi's clothing store. Because woolen sweaters are convenient and easy to wear, more and more people accept them.

After hearing a report from a veteran, Crassus sat up from the couch in shock: "What did you say? Li Wei refused to disband the army?"

"Yes, he said it himself. He probably teamed up with Pompeo again to force the Senate and the Citizens' Assembly to agree to their unreasonable demands."

The old man said.

"Bastard! These two shameless guys. Do they still have me in their eyes? If you don't notify me of such a big matter, what kind of allies are you?"

Crassus said angrily.

He knew that Li Wei looked down on him, and Pompey didn't look down on him either. If it wasn't for profit, he wouldn't form an alliance with these two hateful guys.

No wonder Pompey insisted on leading the army south, it turned out to be for this reason.

"what should we do?"

the old man asked.

Crassus didn't answer right away, which reminded him again of the last time Li Wei and Pompey joined forces.

Will Li Wei move out of the oracle again?

The name of the holy oracle is well-known in Rome, and many people believe in it.

Once he moves out the oracle, I am afraid that even he will not be able to stop it.

Just when Crassus was frowning, a slave walked in.

"Report to the master, Cicero asks to see."

In a palace in the Vatican, Li Wei sat on a chair, shaking the glass in his hand, and the red grapes spun into a beautiful vortex.

"Long time no see, Pompey."

Looking at Li Wei's smile, for some reason, Pompey wanted to punch him.

Not seen for several years, Pompey has become more mature, his skin has turned into a wheat color,

A pair of eyes are sharper and more energetic.

"Li Wei, you bastard. Why did you let Serabio seize the personnel and supplies that were given to me?"

Pompeo said angrily.

"Okay, Pompey, stop pretending here. What did you do to think I don't know? Your people cooperated with Metellus and me to do the right thing, and I haven't said anything yet."

Li Wei said disdainfully.

"I don't know anything about it."

Pompey said quickly.

Li Wei sneered, it's no wonder you didn't know.

But he didn't intend to entangle in this matter, he poured Pompey a glass of wine.

"Let's forget about the past, we have to look forward. Let's put aside the past disputes and work together to cooperate sincerely. As long as there are no conflicts between us, then no one can stop us."

Li Wei said with a smile, and then raised the wine in his hand.

Pompey snorted coldly, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and lightly touched Li Wei.

"Forget about the past, I hope we can cooperate happily."

Pompeo said.

The two of them drank the wine in one gulp, and it was considered to be temporarily letting go of the past.

"By the way, Li Wei, how sure are you of your success this time? Will we fight Rome?"

Pompeo said.

"It's big, but don't worry, even if we don't succeed, we won't fight Rome."

Li Wei said with a smile.

"Why?"

"Because people change, a country is made up of people, and when people change, a country will naturally change."

Levi said.

Pompey was puzzled, he did not understand what Li Wei meant by this sentence.

"And the true god has given me the strongest weapon. When necessary, I will use it to destroy Rome."

Levi said.

"The strongest weapon? Just like last time?"

Pompey couldn't help but gasped.

"That's right."

Levi said.

Hearing this, Pompey was relieved. With this kind of weapon, he would not be afraid of any monsters from Rome.

"But that's the worst situation. We'd better convince Crassus. As long as Crassus is persuaded, then there is no difficulty in this matter."

Levi said.

"I guess Crassus will not agree easily."

Pompeo said.

"You're right, we're doing our best."

Li Wei nodded. Crassus is extremely greedy and always wants to take advantage. It is not so easy to let him let go of this matter, and it is estimated that he will have to pay a lot of money.

The two talked about how to persuade Crassus, and then talked about the experiences of these years.

"I heard that you played very poorly in Spain."

Li Wei said with a half-smile.

The black line on Pompey's face was more than embarrassment, it was obvious that he fought extremely hard.

Compared with Li Wei, who has infinite scenery and added 9 provinces to Rome in one fell swoop.

Not only did he play extremely hard, but his merits were not brought to the table at all.

"You were right at the beginning, Sertorius is a very powerful general."

Pompeo said.

Li Wei smiled slightly, Sertorius is indeed very powerful, if there is no continuous assistance from Rome, Pompey will undoubtedly lose.

To some extent, Sertorius is indeed better than Pompey.

"By the way, how did you see that he was a famous general?"

Pompeo said.

He couldn't figure it out, and Li Wei sent three famous swords, one of which was left for Sedo.

The Sertorius back then was obviously very ordinary, and he even lost a game at the hands of Li Wei.

"You know I'm a prophet, always seeing things that others don't."

Levi said.

Pompey looked at him with a strange expression. This guy was becoming more and more successful in pretending to be a magic stick, and even he believed it a little bit.

"So can you see my future?"

Pompeo asked.

"Be able to see some fragments, and you will become a great Roman general."

Li Wei said with a smile.

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Pompey's face.

Crassus came to the Vatican with some entourage and guards, which had turned into a huge castle with a large number of soldiers patrolling around.

After the notification, what he didn't expect was that Li Wei and Pompey came out to greet him in person.

"Hahaha, dear Crassus, it's great that you can come."

Li Wei had a friendly smile on his face.

Pompey looked at Crassus and just nodded slightly. He never had a good impression of Crassus.

If he hadn't controlled a large number of elders, he wouldn't have cooperated with Crassus.

"Li Wei, Pompeo, why didn't you notify me of such an important matter? Do you still have me as an ally in your eyes?"

Crassus said dissatisfied.

Li Wei led them into the castle, and said as he walked: "Crassus, I think you should understand that there is a huge risk in this matter. The more people who know, the greater the risk, so I hope you can understand us."

Crassus sneered, but he didn't plan to pursue it further, after all, it had already happened.

"I hope this kind of thing doesn't happen again."

Crassus said.

"No problem, some time ago there were rifts in the cooperation between the three of us, and I think we should repair these rifts and then show the world our unity again."

Levi said.

"You all get the benefits, so what about me? What can I get?"

Crassus said.

"You can also participate in the contest for the consul in advance."

Levi said.

"I'm 40 years old this year, and I'm going to be governor next year. I don't think it's meaningful to move forward a year."

Crassus said dissatisfied.

"Then what do you want?"

Levi asked.

"Marriage! Your daughter Portia is very lovely, I am very fond of her. I think you can marry her to my son Publius, you have met him, he is a very good child, absolutely Quite worthy of Portia."

Crassus said.

Li Wei watched in astonishment, he never thought that Crassus would make such a request.

However, marriage is a very common phenomenon no matter in the west or in the east, but he is not mentally prepared.

"Portia is too young for marriage."

Levi said.

"It doesn't matter. We can get engaged first and get married when they are old. As long as you agree to this marriage, no matter what you do in the future, I will fully support it."

Crassus said.

Li Wei's rise has been unstoppable, especially the Holy Church, from which he can see great potential.

If they can marry the Li Wei family, their family will be able to share a huge dividend, so Crassus is determined to win this.

Li Wei was silent. He looked down upon Publius Crassus.

Publius first fought with Caesar and performed well at first.

But later, he ventured deep during his expedition to Parthia with Crassus, leading to the annihilation of the entire army. He can only be said to be a mediocre general.

"I'm very humble. I think it's better for Portia to decide on her own marriage. If she agrees to this marriage, I won't stop it. If she refuses, I won't force it."

Levi said.

He knows the huge benefits that marriage can bring, which will integrate the interests of him and Crassus, but he is unwilling to sacrifice his daughter's happiness for this. This is a father's persistence.

Crassus frowned tightly, what should Li Wei do if he doesn't agree.

"Actually, my son is also good. You have seen Gnaeus (whose name is exactly the same as Pompey). He is a very good boy. If Portia likes it, I am very happy to see her become my daughter-in-law."

At this moment, Pompey said suddenly.

Li Wei stared at Pompeo dumbfounded. He didn't expect another one to snatch his daughter.

At this moment, he felt as if the little cabbage he had raised for many years was being targeted by others, and he was in an indescribably bad mood.

But this is not surprising. Pompeo is a well-known marriage master. Several of his marriages were for political support.

For example, he married the daughter of Metellus, and after returning from the expedition to the East, he proposed to marry the niece of Cato, and later married Julius, the daughter of Julius Caesar. It can be said that every marriage of his later brought him different allies.

"Pompeo, you can't do this. I brought this up first."

Crassus said angrily, he didn't expect Pompey to come out to cut off his beard.

"Li Wei also said that marriage is free, and of course Gnaeus is qualified to pursue Portia."

Pompeo said.

Then the two sides quarreled, and Li Wei became more and more angry as he watched, as if his daughter had become theirs.

"Enough! Stop arguing!"

Li Wei said, "My daughter's marriage is her own decision, and no one can force it. This is settled. Crassus, you can put forward other conditions."

"I just have this one condition, and I don't agree to other conditions."

Crassus said resolutely.

Li Wei looked at Crassus with extremely dangerous eyes. This guy really didn't know how to live or die, and he dared to hit his daughter's idea.

"Since you don't want to, forget it, I'll think of other ways."

Levi said.

He didn't believe that without Crassus, he and Pompey would not be able to control the Senate. At most, they would just give up some benefits like last time. Although it hurts to cut the flesh, as long as they can get through this hurdle, everything is worth it.

"Don't do this, I still have a few nieces, how about they marry little Li Wei."

Crassus said quickly, obviously he also knew what Li Wei was thinking.

"I still say the same thing, marriage is free, if they like each other, I will never stop them."

Levi said.

"Okay, you have to remember your words."

Crassus said.

"certainly. "

Levi said.

"I'll bring them to your house to play in a few days. Publius is also a student of Cicero. He and Li Wei are good friends. Can you let them teach at your house?"

Crassus said.

Li Wei's face darkened completely, and he felt like a mouse had entered his house trying to steal his cabbage.

"Ahem... I will also send my son, nephew, and niece over in two days."

Pompey said expressionlessly.

Li Wei gave them a fierce look, but did not refuse in the end.

If his children really like it, he also minds getting married.

After discussing some things, the three finally reached an agreement.

Once again they will be in harmony to achieve their purpose this time.

"Asshole! Asshole!"

After reading today's "Roman Daily", Metellus couldn't help but curse.

Today's front page headline is the joint statement issued by Li Wei and the other three, claiming that they think it is reasonable for Li Wei and Pompeo to participate in the consul contest in advance.

How could this not make Metellus furious, he knew that the Senate could no longer stop them, and once the three joined hands, the law would be their ass paper, which could be thrown away at will.
