Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 85 food

Nobanus looked at Anius viciously, and he vowed to kill this man.

When they advanced to fifty yards, the crossbowmen immediately retreated, revealing the soldiers behind.

The soldiers in the front row took out shot puts one by one, ready to throw them.

The one behind took out the javelin and aimed forward.

The soldiers are scared, are they playing for real?

Shot puts and javelins are not bows and arrows. If you are hit, you are likely to die.

The speed of the guard immediately slowed down, making Nobanus even more angry.

Seeing that there will be a lot of casualties, Nobanus finally made up his mind.

“Stop moving forward.”

Nobanus said.

He already understood the determination of these people in front of him, so there is no need to fight any more.

His guard immediately stopped advancing, moving neatly and uniformly.

“Back!”

Nobanus said.

After receiving the order of Nobanus, the tortoise formation began to retreat slowly.

Annius and the others also breathed a sigh of relief, and they were very happy not to hit them.

“I remember you, I will ask Li Wei for an explanation when I look back.”

Nobanus said, and then left here with his guards.

Annius could not help but shudder, it is not a good thing to be remembered by the Roman consul.

He can only pray in his heart that Li Wei can withstand his pressure and not hand him over.

The conflict between Li Wei and Nobanus spread throughout Capua like the wind, and both nobles and civilians were terrified.

There was a **** conflict between Li Wei and Nobanuszhi. Will there be a war between them? Some timid nobles have even decided to flee from Capua.

In the manor of the Tulius family, Tulius said to the old Tulius with some horror: “What should we do? Should we still do what Levy said?”

He doesn’t understand Li Wei, why are you fighting with the Archon again.

You can’t stop a little bit, it will make them very stressed.

“Cough…cough…”

Old Tulius coughed hard, his face grew older, his face pale as if he would die at any time.

“Accept what he said, anyway, it’s not our family, just follow the trend.”

Old Turius said.

Tulius nodded helplessly and agreed. After Tulius left, the old Tulius’s expression became more gloomy. He seemed to have seen the blood and blood of Capua. I hope the Tulius family can be safe. Overcome this hurdle.

Old Anius left home with a bag, and then came to a grain shop not far away.

This is a grain shop opened by the Li Wei family. There are various discounts for the relatives of the door customers, so the old Anwus likes to come here very much.

He just came a little late today, and found that there was already a crowd of people here.

This made him sigh. It seems that it is difficult to buy food today.

Since Sura came to Brindisi, the price of food in Capua has been going up, and now it has risen five times the previous value.

The food store in Kapuya is also restricted, and each person can only buy food for three days per person. This makes many citizens of Kapuya miserable and even have a life of food.

But the old Anius is still good. He has a rich son who can barely survive even if food prices rise.

“Why are food prices rising again today?”

“How much did it go up?”

“It has risen seven times as much as before!”

“How come the increase is so dramatic? Who can afford such expensive food.”

“Do you still want to buy? You will soon have money and can’t buy it. The army from Rome bought a large amount of grain. Today’s grain store only sells 2,000 pounds of barley, and it will be sold out.”

“How can such a small amount of food be enough to eat?”

“That’s right.”

“……”

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and the old Anius was also worried. Now that he has money, he can’t buy food. What can I do?

Maybe he should find his son, he should have a way.

“Have you heard that there was a conflict between Li Wei’s army and the consul’s army today.”

“I also heard about it. It is said that many people have been injured?”

Old Anius wanted to leave, but couldn’t move when he heard this.

“What happened?”

Old Anius walked over and asked.

“You heard the bugle sound in the early hours of this morning, right.”

said the person.

“heard it.”

Old Anius said.

That person said what happened in the morning, and finally did not forget to add: “It is said that the consul wanted to deprive the Knights of Li Wei’s military power. As a result, Li Wei wanted to lead his troops to leave Capua and go to Dragon City. conflict.”

“It is too much for me to say that the consul is too much. Those three regiments are all followers of Li Wei’s Patriarch. They usually spend so much money to raise them. Now they will be deprived of their military power.”

“That’s right…”

“……”

How to say Li Wei is also a legendary figure of Capuya, and he is still a little dissatisfied with the powerful Archon Capuya.

Old Anius sounded like a thunder in his mind. He tremblingly asked, “Do you know what happened to Patriarch Li Wei’s subordinates?”

“I have returned to Dragon City, it is said that no one was injured.”

Hearing this, the old Anius relieved his heart, but soon came to his heart again.

There is a conflict between the Li Wei family leader and the consul, will he be punished Will his son be affected?

Thinking of this, Old Anius couldn’t sit still anymore and decided to go to Longcheng himself.

Not long after he left, there was a burst of exclamation in the team.

“What did you say? The food is sold out.”

“Why is it gone so soon.”

“I ran to several stores but didn’t buy food, what would you like us to eat.”

“……”

Hearing that there was no food, the crowd behind immediately became agitated.

Those grain shops either cover their grains for sale or restrict their sales, causing the price of grains to go up.

There are long lines in all grain shops, but there are still many people who can’t buy food at all every day.

Some people are completely angry!

The little Er who was surrounded by them almost cried, can you blame him for this?

“Please be quiet, everyone, we are really gone. You might as well go to the consul. He bought a lot of food from us. If it weren’t for him, we still have enough food.”

said the little second.

“If you are right, you have to find the consul.”

Someone said in the crowd, “If the Roman army hadn’t bought a lot of food, we could still buy food.”

“And the food won’t go up so expensive.”

“They bought out the food.”

“Maybe the benevolent archons can sell us food at a reasonable price.”

“……”

There were some more voices in the team. Some people felt that something was wrong. How could it be sold to them at a fair price?

But when I think of cheap food, all my sanity is lost.

Faced with the upcoming war, everyone has an idea, that is, to hoard food desperately.
