I am reborn as a lord in Rome

At the beginning of the New Year's hustle, Woolley removed all the child slaves from the White Rock Building construction site and sent them to various workshops as apprentices.

On the third day of the new year, Woolley publicly announced that he had granted freedom to Malone and Caesar. This decision immediately made Malone cry with emotion, but Caesar was a little frightened, and if it weren't for Nerton's repeated reassurance that Woolley would leave him in the mill, maybe the big man would have had a heart attack—the moment he heard the announcement, he thought that Woolley was going to sweep him away, which meant that he was about to taste hunger, because he was not at all sure that he would be able to feed himself.

As Woolley had predicted, Malone chose to stay and continue guarding the workshop, as he was used to it, and he wasn't sure he could find a better job elsewhere than Heiwa was still here.

Caesar did not stay at the mill, as Nerton had claimed, and, judging from Woolley's arrangement, he did not seem to have taken into account that Caesar had just been declared a free citizen by himself—he threw Caesar into the Vulture and Puja's training camp early the next morning, along with the children.

"Train him well, and in the future, he may be my most reliable auxiliary. Woolley said to the vulture.

"The master wants to go to war?" A hint of surprise crossed the vulture's eyes, and in his opinion, a citizen like Woolley, who was good at commercial profits, would not choose to go to war.

"How can a good boy not go to battle?" Woolley asked rhetorically, and then punched the vulture's chest lightly, "At that point, you will have to be my bodyguard." "

The vulture swears to protect the master's integrity. The vulture lowered its head and said seriously.

"There's no need for that, by the way, I'll ask you something. Woolley lowered his voice a little, "You have been with Puya for so long

, has something happened?" The vulture was stunned for a moment, and quickly shook his head: "Master, this is not allowed, according to the rule, the master has the right to whip the slave who is not careful."

"Doesn't she have a crush on you?" Woolley frowned.

"This ......," the vulture frang up.

"Alright, look at your little bit of interest, all right, I promise to allow you two to do something, but it's not an order, so you'll have to take Puya's opinion into account, and, remember, loyalty. "Woolley smiled slightly, and said in his heart that you vulture Zaimu, you should also see Puya's thoughts when she was eyebrow-raising you, right? I have created conditions for you, and in return, you should both put your gratitude to me into training, right?"

The vulture understood what his master meant, but when he heard that his master was going to Assyrian City, the vulture felt that it would be much safer if his master accompanied him to escort him, and there was a large sparsely populated road between Menia and Assyria, and there were often thieves and thieves, which was not peaceful. The vulture said.

"No, I'll be safe. Woolley smiled slightly, "Gauguin suggested that I take Janus there, that kid has neat hands and feet, and can run errands or something, and can be competent." The

vulture's heart suddenly warmed, and he could tell that what Woolley had said to him was not at all in the voice of a master, but like a friend of equal status.

"Please consider my suggestion carefully, I can handle the training of these children alone. The vulture said again.

Glancing around, Woolley saw that the children were training seriously under Puya's supervision, so he walked to the stone lock pile and picked up a wooden stick that was five cubits long and wrist-thick, and handed it to the vulture: "Take it." The

vulture took it.

"Hold one end in each hand and stretch it out. Woolley said.

The vulture grabbed both ends of the stick and stretched out its hands.

"Don't move, look at it. Wu Lai rolled up his sleeves, raised his palm, and then straightened his five fingers together, raised his palm and heavy arm, and slashed at the wooden stick with great speed.

With a muffled "click", the wooden stick fragments splashed everywhere, and it was split in two from the middle.

The vulture was stunned, and he could easily break the wooden stick with the thickness of his wrist, but in the past he used to use fists, elbows, knees, and the like, and he could easily cut it with the edge of his palm like Woolley, and he asked himself if he could do it.

He couldn't do it, but Wu Lai did, doesn't this mean that Wu Lai is stronger than him?"

"Hard Qigong, you must not have heard of it, don't tell anyone else, train hard." A smile appeared on Woolley's lips, and he turned around calmly, his steps graceful.

"No wonder ......" took a long time before the vulture popped out these two words.

That night, Woolley took the usual hot bath, and the heat in the bath was steaming, and Hergé, who had massaged him, was sweating profusely.

"Master, how did you come up with this?" El took the moment to point to the two-cubit-high mesh copper rack by the bath, on which were stacked with some burnt pebbles, and every once in a while, El would scoop out a ladle of water from the bucket next to the copper rack and pour it on the pebbles, and after two times, Hippo would walk in and replace the pebbles, which had to be kept at a nearly hot temperature during the whole time of Woolley's bath.

"Sauna, it's a very simple thing, if I hadn't seen you shivering with cold when you massaged me the other day, I wouldn't love to do this. Woolley waved his hand disapprerovingly.

El pouted, what Woolley said was right, she was indeed shivering with cold when she massaged him a few days ago, but can she be blamed for this? When other nobles took a bath and massage, the maid and the master stayed in the hot water together, he was fine, he had to let himself stand by the bath and press, it was not good to move if he wore too many clothes, and if he wore less, could he not be cold? But since she had this, every time she waited for Woolley to wash, she had to jump into the bath to take a shower, it was hot, sweat was flowing, and it was okay not to take a bath?

"Huh?" El involuntarily grabbed Woolley's right hand, "Master, the edge of your palm seems to be a little red and swollen, what's the matter?" Woolley

shook his head with a wry smile and withdrew his palm from Elle's hand: "Alas, Kung Fu, I haven't practiced it yet." Ten

days later, in the early morning, Woolley set out.

In addition to the stewards of the White Rock Building, as well as Lady Leah, Tina, and Aden, Mikoyan, Pompeii, Dorjee, and those nobles who had more or less cooperated with Woolley came, and the last one to arrive was Aesop, the tribune, and after a short politeness, Aesop handed a letter of introduction to Woolley, which was Woolley's letter of recommendation for admission, recommended in the name of Seneca City.

"Take care. Aesop patted Woolley's shoulder with some reluctance, his emotions were a little complicated, on the one hand, he admired Woolley and felt that Woolley was a good alliance partner, on the other hand, he didn't quite accept Woolley's habits, and in addition, he was not sure whether he could control Woolley.

"Each other. Woolley smiled and nodded.

Everyone sent Woolley out of the city gate on foot, which showed their respect or value for Woolley, and the housekeepers of the White Stone Building were somewhat sad, because they were used to having Woolly live in the White Stone Tower, and Woolly would come back at least before the Winter Festival when he went this time.

Lady Leah didn't even feel the slightest bit of sadness, but was the most elated, for her, Woolley's journey not only meant glory, but also seemed to imply that she could temporarily take Woolley's place, shouting and commanding in the White Rock Building, and passing the addiction of hundreds of slaves under her command.

The climax and curtain of farewell soon appeared—Tina, who was embarrassed and already crying tears, pounced on Woolley as she waved her hand on the car, and then kissed Woolley on the mouth.

Exclamations, shouts, applause, cheers, one after another.

Lady Leah puffed up her chest triumphantly, and said in a voice that would ensure that everyone present could hear it, "Oh, these little enemies, as if they were worried that everyone would not know that they were an unmarried couple, alas, this will surely be the talk of the town."

Woolley gently responded to Tina's kiss, in fact, at the moment when Tina pounced, he had at least three ways to avoid it, but at that moment, he didn't want to move, and when Tina's warm little lips kissed him, he suddenly realized that his heart was as soft as bread soaked in water.

But after a moment, Tina took a step back with a red face, looked at Woolley with shame and joy, and said, "Woolley, remember to write to me, I will miss you."

Woolly nodded: "Me too." Then, with a decisive wave of his hand, he got into the carriage.

"Let's go, Janus. He whispered, and the freshly dressed and refreshed Janus shook his horsewhip and waved a crisp whip ......

"Woolley......" Tina pouted, calling silently.

Lady Leah quietly leaned over to Tina and gently grabbed her daughter's arm.

Well done, Tina. She said to Tina in her heart.

At the same time, Ma Long, who was holding a leather whip, was directing a group of people to dig a road somewhere in Daishan, and Wu Lai told him before leaving that the project was big and the construction period was tight, but he believed that Ma Long could complete it.

Malone didn't want to live up to Woolley's trust, you must know that this opportunity was won for him by Siban Oak, Malone believed that as long as he did his job as a supervisor and took over the black tile that took over his guard workshop could also be done, at the end of the year, maybe Heiwa could also be freed - judging from the habits of Young Master Woolley, this is basically not a problem.

"Hurry up, you slackers!" said Marlon, waving his whip from time to time, repeating the phrase. He doesn't mind repeating because he knows what it means.

Woolley's carriage was moving smoothly down the road, neither fast nor slow. These roads connected the sixteen city-states of Assyria and nearly a hundred towns and thousands of villages, each of which eventually led to the gates of Assyria, a huge city with a population of more than three million, and slaves were not included in those three million figures.

Woolley had long wanted to visit Assyria, and he wanted to see for himself what it was like in a city of forty-one mountains and five rivers.

"Master, I have heard that there were four gladiatorial arenas in Assyria, the largest of which was contested only by the most elite gladiators. Janus said as he drove the car.

"No way. Wu Lai categorically denied, "How can there be so many peak gladiators to support a large gladiatorial arena, it is obviously not logical, it is just that the specifications and excitement of the game are higher."

"What the master said must be right. When Ernus finished speaking, he couldn't help pressing the money bag in his belt again, which Gauguin had given him when he was about to go out, and it contained five gold coins, and Ernus was allowed to dispose of them, but only if they could only be used to buy fruit for Woolley.

"The host likes to eat fruit, but he doesn't necessarily remember to buy it, so you have to keep it in mind. Gauguin said this with a straight face, so Janus kept reminding himself not to forget.

Two days later, the master and servant stayed in the city of Menia for one night, and Woolley took time to go to the official residence of Yijiang to sit for a while, and in the early morning of the next day, the two set off again.

Yi Jiang sent six cavalrymen to follow Wu Lai's carriage and send him a hundred miles away.

In the afternoon, five of the six cavalrymen reined in the reins, and their small leader caught up with Woolley's carriage: "Citizen of Woolley, you have now left the confines of Menia City and entered the Titan Mountains, I wish you a smooth journey."

Woolley smiled and nodded, and threw a delicate money bag at the cavalry leader: "Thank you for your hard work.

When he subconsciously caught the money bag, the little leader was stunned, and after a little hesitation, he untied the brocade rope that bound the mouth of the bag, and immediately, his eyes flashed a trace of surprise, because the bag actually contained eight gold coins.

The little leader hurriedly looked up, Wu Lai's carriage had already driven nearly a hundred paces, and after a little hesitation, the little leader whipped his horse and chased after him for the second time.

"Thank you, Citizen Woolley. The little leader respectfully exclaimed, "My name is Dewar, and I am honored to serve you.

Wu Lai smiled and waved his hand: "Go back and resume your life, tell Vice General Yijiang that I am very satisfied." "

Yes, Woolley citizen. Dewar struck his left chest with his right fist and nodded heavily.
