v3 Chapter 159： Hold him (1/2)

The first player to play was Roman Emperor Aurelius. He was also the patron of this gladiatorial performance. He stood on the carriage, wearing a corolla, dressed in a costume, and surrounded the arena. At the same time, the servants and guards around him replaced him Bread and copper coins were thrown into the stands, and his generous move also greeted the people with a tsunami-like cheer.

Ji Kangmaode's young face was filled with excitement, because at this moment he could intuitively feel that the people's heart was with him, and the people were supporting his rule, so he also frequently waved to greet the audience in the stands.

And his wife, Christina, was sitting in the stand below, and when she saw this scene, she also showed excitement and admiration in her eyes. No girl did not want her man to be a respected world hero, more Besides, her husband is also the emperor of the entire Roman Empire.

However, Lucilla's face in the other box was worth playing.

虽然 Although she was smiling, the corners of her mouth that raised upwards always seemed a little ridiculous, and said, ”He's kind of intoxicated, isn't he?”

”Huh?” The noise around was too loud, and her husband Pompeianus was a little unclear.

However, Lucilla did not repeat what she said before, and yawned, ”Is the performance not yet started, I have been waiting for a long time.”

哦 ”Oh, come on, wait for our emperor to finish the parade, and then the gladiators should enter the show.” Pompeanus was also very familiar with his wife's temper, and said with a smile.

Many people envy him marrying Oleriu's daughter and becoming the son-in-law of the former emperor. The current emperor's brother-in-law, Lucilla is a well-known beauty. Although she is remarried, she is young and beautiful enough. Wife.

However, Pompeianus himself knew that the union between the two was politically necessary. When they were at home, they rarely talked. They were very kind to each other, but they were more like guests. Silas inherited her mother's love and charm, while Pompeanus also raised other women outside.

However, Pompeianus did not dislike such a mode of getting along. People who mixed in his position knew exactly what he needed, not to mention that his position in politics was indeed stronger after he married Lucilla. He had nothing to complain about at least.

”How much did you bring?” Lucilla asked again.

”Now, I only have some change, maybe about 40 or 50 Oris.” Pompeanus said, turning over his pockets.

Oris is a Roman gold coin. An Oris is roughly equal to 100 Seths. In other words, Pompeanus's change is four or five thousand Seths. He paused and said, ”You need money, if not enough, I can send my servant home. ”

”No, I'll go directly to the mortgage merchant.” Lucilla waved and immediately the maid went to find the loan merchant.

The wrestling show is always accompanied by a bet on spinach, so money lenders are like sharks who smell **** and will never be absent.

Soon a mouthful of yellow-money lenders came over, bowing respectfully, ”Is there anything I can do for you? Dear Augusta.”

”I need to borrow money to play, and I can return it to you after the gladiator show. How about the interest?” Lucilla asked.

”How much do you want to borrow?”

那就 ”Then ... come 5,000 gold coins first,” Lucilla said lightly.

The money lender's face changed slightly. He often appeared in the major arenas in Rome. He had participated in more than a hundred gladiatorial performances. However, he had not done such a large and single business. No, this number even exceeded The sum of his loans came down in a gladiator show.
