I am reborn as a lord in Rome

Before the evening, the guests walked into Anthony's mansion one after another, and Anthony also changed the usual style of welcoming guests in the courtyard, but stood at the gate with a smile on his face, greeting each guest, and looking particularly affectionate.

Since the original intention was to knock Woolley, Anthony's invitation was naturally indispensable to Woolley's part, and besides, Anthony didn't want to push Woolley out of the aristocratic circle of Seneca City-State too clearly, firstly, the time had not come, and secondly, it seemed that he was too petty to do so.

What Anthony didn't expect was that Woolley came faster than he expected, less than half of the guests came, Woolley came, not only came, but also very enthusiastic, the carriage stopped dozens of steps away from Anthony, and then walked into Anthony's mansion, and when he greeted Anthony at the door, the smile was so bright that even Anthony almost thought that he had misunderstood Woolley in the past two days.

"Your Excellency, you greet the other guests, and I'll go in and have a chat with a few friends. Woolly said and entered the mansion with a smile.

The pergola for hospitality is big enough, Wu Lai visually measured it, the height of several pergolas is more than fifteen cubits, in order to protect against the cold, the mouth of the pergola is against the direction of the wind, the leather curtains on both sides are tightly covered, and a small pot of charcoal fire is placed every few steps under the long table in the shed, although it cannot make the pergola warm like spring, but it also drives away some of the cold, and the guests will naturally not feel cold after a while.

"It's been so many years, and I don't know how to improve it. Wu Lai frowned, because he suddenly thought that if there were hundreds of guests in the White Stone Building, I was afraid that he would have to get a few such pergolas.

Wu Lai casually sat down in a seat in the pergola on the left, and even though two little nobles came over to talk, Wu Lai knew that he was not under the command of the Tongji Alliance as soon as he heard the introduction, so he smiled slightly, and greeted each sentence, this approachable attitude also made the two little nobles overjoyed.

Before nightfall, all the guests arrived, and after listening to the report of the housekeeper who accompanied and checked the list, Anthony felt a sense of pride.

"Master, you can get started. A butler hurried over.

"Let's get started. Anthony rubbed his cheeks, which were a little stiff by the breeze, and said.

After a few shouts, dozens of slaves divided into several columns and began to eat, Anthony walked into the pergola with a smile, accompanied by two nobles, and walked to the main seat, and Da Yi next to the main seat saw him coming, and also smiled and stood up to greet ......

In the pergola on the right, Ivan quietly watched Woolley in the distance under the cover of the figure of the next seat.

Anthony sat down on the main seat, and then, with a slight bow, the first butler on the side behind him immediately raised a shiny copper bell and shook it, and the bell bell bell ......

Anthony stood up with a smile, stretched out his hand, and picked up a glass of wine from the table in front of him, and the guests immediately stopped talking, and waited quietly, as usual, Anthony, the host of the banquet, had to say a few words, and talk about the toast and the purpose and meaning of this banquet.

"Dear friends," Anthony said aloud as he raised his glass, "...... tonight,

" "Your Excellency the Consul!" a voice interrupted Anthony abruptly.

Anthony was surprised, and the guests were also quite surprised, and everyone followed the prestige to see that Woolley had already stood up.

"Your Excellency, I have no intention of offending. Woolley raised his voice as he walked, "But I suddenly felt a little unwell, so, please understand, I had to leave with great regret."

Before the words fell, the whispers were already around, Woolley's behavior was obviously a little weird, firstly, Woolley's calm and relaxed appearance came from the slightest discomfort, and secondly, even if it was really uncomfortable, choosing Anthony's statement in his speech seemed to be suspected of deliberately disturbing.

Woolley walked to the exit with a calm face, no longer looking at Anthony, he was originally here to make trouble today, why Anthony was in a hurry to feast on Woolley Naturally understands, if it is a change to the previous situation, Woolley will definitely choose to endure and retreat first, but not now, the framework of the Tongji Alliance has just been built, and Anthony has come to attack head-on, showing weakness will not only discourage the members, but also make Anthony and others more ......and more arrogant

Woolley stopped at the exit, no, just paused, and then, coughing, stepped out.

Immediately-

"Your Excellency, I just remembered that there are some things to do at home

......" "Your Excellency, I'm very sorry......" "Your Excellency

the Archon......"

As if it had been agreed, there were constantly nobles who stood up to apologize and then said that they had to leave early, they were either expressionless or apologetic, but they said resolutely and decisively.

This, this, what's going on? Anthony and his loyalists are in a circle.

Stand up and stand up ......

Apologize, apologize for lame reasons......

But in a short time, nearly half of the three pergolas were gone, yes, nearly half of them were gone, and the more than three hundred nobles that Anthony had entertained were barely seventeen or eighty still sitting still, and there were so many people leaving at the same time that the exits became congested......

It's like a farce, no, for Anthony, it's a complete tragedy, hard work, preparation, ambition, and inevitable victory, but he is actually defeated by Woolley's cough.

"He must have made an appointment...... Anthony thought about it as he gritted his teeth and gurgled them, but what was the use?

Da Yi patted Anthony on the shoulder and sighed quietly, as a soldier, he despised Anthony's current appearance of being stunned and at a loss, but he was very sympathetic to Anthony, a member of the Supreme Council of Nobility, an old nobleman, was actually slapped in the face by a young rookie on his own territory, and he was beaten so loudly.

"Anthony, and the guests. Dayi reminded in a low voice.

Anthony nodded slightly, barely straightened his face, and raised his wine glass: "Everyone

, ......" "I'm sorry, Lord Consul, I still have something to do at home, let's go first......" A gray-haired old man got up and gave a half-salute, and walked ...... with his head held high

"And me, I suddenly remembered something......" Although his eyes were a little evasive, this one also decisively got up and left ......

Immediately after that, the third, fourth, and fifth ......

Hulala, the seventy or eighty people left the ...... like they had made an appointment

Anthony looked at the man left in the pergola in a daze, and the wine glass in his hand began to tremble and tremble.

Seeing that Anthony was getting more and more angry, Da Yi wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Woolley, you're a little too ruthless. Da Yi muttered in his heart.

Not far to Anthony's left, Dorjee sat with a blank face, but he was already smiling in ......his heart

The well-prepared banquet was shattered by a combo, and Anthony not only lost face but also broke his mood, the problem was that he couldn't come up with a better move to fight back after pondering all night—Woolley seemed to be invulnerable, he had neither bad habits nor bad deeds, everything he did was justified, and most importantly, if you wanted to move him now, you had to first consider the two hundred or so families who followed or attached to him.

In other words, it's not that Anthony doesn't want to move, but he really can't.

Anthony felt a little deflated at the thought of this, and after standing in front of the window for a long time, he sighed heavily, and said to himself, "Seneca, are you going to get out of my control?"

......

On the fifth day after Anthony's dinner farce, at noon, Lady Leah, who was barely able to stand, leaned against the window, and her eyes fell on Woolley's fur mink fur, sitting in the courtyard in the middle of the snowflakes, beside him, Gao was holding an umbrella to protect him from the snow.

"Tina, what is Woolley doing?" asked Lady Leah, squeezing her hand.

"It's like I'm waiting for someone, it's been a while. Tina pouted, "It's such a cold day, he doesn't know how to wait in the house, this winter is the coldest in more than ten years, and this snow is also the biggest." "

Yes, who else can make him wait in the courtyard now?Assyrian City?or Legion?" Lady Leah knew about Woolley's slap in the face of Anthony, and when she heard that two-thirds of Seneca's nobles would rather offend and choose to leave with Woolley, she hated her teeth so much, not that she hated Woolley, nor did she hate Anthony, but she hated Tina for not making progress with Woolley, and hated herself for being confused for a moment and making a big mistake and delaying Tina.

"I don't know, it's not what you said. As soon as Tina said this, there was the sound of neat footsteps outside the white stone building, and the snow was creaking and creaking, and it could be heard that at least nearly a hundred people were stepping forward.

Hearing footsteps from far and near, a smile appeared on Woolley's face.

When there was a knock on the door, the footsteps suddenly stopped, and only the sound of wind and snow remained around Woolley's body.

The slave on duty opened the door, and a figure wrapped in a cloak walked in quickly, walked straight up to Woolley, knelt down on one knee, and then lifted the cap of the cloak, shaking off the snowflakes.

"It's Puya. Tina said to Lady Leah.

"Young Master, all members of the Daishan team have returned, and they are now lining up outside the door, please instruct. Puya lowered her head and said respectfully.

"Okay, hard work. Woolley laughed and got up and helped Puya, "I can't wait to see the results of your training."

"Please rest assured, the Daishan team has passed the assessment, and a month ago, the second phase of training has been carried out according to the young master's teaching materials. Puya replied as she got up.

"Okay, let them in!" Woolley waved his hand and sat back in his chair.

Pu Yawan smiled, took out a bronze whistle from his arms, blew three hurriedly, and the footsteps outside the door started again, and nearly a hundred teenagers rushed forward quickly, all wearing black cloaks, leather armor and leather boots, and carrying a leather wooden box two elbows long and one cubit wide and half an elbow thick.

Rushing forward, the formation was not chaotic at all, sixteen and ninety-six people were horizontal, six and ninety-six, and the front row stopped six elbows away from Woolley, and then the whole team listened, and the suitcase was put down at the same time, and at the same time knelt on one knee.

"Daishan Squad, meet the young master and greet the young master!" the ninety-six teenagers said in unison, their voices sonorous and powerful.

"Okay, get up. Woolley raised his hand.

"Yes!" Ninety-six teenagers stood up at the same time.

"Daishan Squad!" shouted Puya beside Woolley.

"Yes!" replied ninety-six teenagers in unison.

"Who is your master?" asked Puya aloud.

"How many masters are Woolley Green!" the ninety-six people said in unison.

"What is your mission?" asked Puya in a loud voice again.

"Loyal to the young master all my life! Protect the young master with your life!" When the ninety-six teenagers replied, their eyes looked at Wu Lai at the same time, and their eyes were full of admiration.

Woolley smiled and nodded, and got up, his gaze sweeping over everyone'...... one by one

"Tina, is this Woolley's, private?" Lady Leah's eyes were full of surprise.

Tina hesitated for a moment, then nodded a little uncertainly, "Seemingly, it seems." "

Why don't you know anything?" Lady Leah couldn't help but glare at Tina.

Tina pouted, and said in her heart, what is Woolley doing at this time?
