Sifu prepared the contract happily because he was satisfied with the price, although he hesitated because of the seemingly strange terms. In the process of preparing the contract, Sifu unprecedentedly let Pompey participate in the discussion of the contract, and at the end, he generously praised him.

While Sifer was preparing the contract, Wu Lai, accompanied by Sifer's second butler, went to the ranch again, but this time, he seemed to be there purely to enjoy the scenery.

The grassland scenery of Katilina is undoubtedly very beautiful——

At the end of Wu Lai's sight, the flock of sheep was like carefree white waves under the blue sky, slowly rolling into the depths of the grassland.

The cattle were leisurely walking forward in the sunshine, trampling on the wild flowers.

The sparse tents of the herding slaves are scattered like pearls on the endless green carpet-like grassland. When the smoke from the tents is swaying and rising, and when the small river beside the tents flows gracefully, the blue sky paints a quiet, ancient and comfortable feeling on the grassland.

Wu Lai was intoxicated by the boundless green.

"What a wonderful place." He exclaimed comfortably.

"Yes, distinguished guest, your evaluation is appropriate. The Katilina grassland is the most superior pasture in the Assyrian territory. Continue eastward along the Katilina grassland for more than 600 miles and you will reach the Lilu Gobi Desert, which is known as a desolate land." said the second accompanying butler.

"Yeah, I've heard of that place." Wu Lai sat down on the grass and called Sif's second butler to his side. "You are a commoner from Kati City, right? What's your name?"

The second butler nodded: "Dear guest, my name is Sim."

"Well, Sim, can you tell me where I can buy good carpentry slaves in the city of Kati?" Wu Lai took out a stack of silver coins and handed them to Sim, about a dozen of them.

"No, no, distinguished guest, it is Sim's duty to serve you, you don't need to do this." Sim quickly declined.

"I like precise and clear answers, because that won't waste my time and energy, right?" Wu Lai showed a harmless smile on his face. "And I have always believed that as a citizen, we must learn and get used to helping civilians improve their living standards, because civilians, like citizens, need to support their families, right?"

"Oh, distinguished guest, you are right. I cannot refute you." Sim took the silver coin respectfully. "As far as I know, the best carpentry slaves in Kati City are all in the Anak Woodworking Workshop in the south of the city. The owner of the workshop, Anak, is a member of the Ximenes family and a rare kind citizen in Kati City. Moreover, he is very good at doing business."

"You know him so well, I think you can help me, right?" Wu Lai asked with a smile again.

"I can help a little, but Sim's ability is limited. I guess it won't be a lot, distinguished guest." Sim answered very seriously.

"Anyway, I'm already very happy." Wu Lai nodded.

After signing the contract, Sifu asked Wulai to stay for another day, so Wulai and Pompey set out on their return journey the next morning after he accepted the invitation. This time, Wulai's carriage had two horses instead of one, but the extra horse was not a power horse but a war horse. This war horse was not a gift from the Berses family, but Wulai bought it with extra money. First, he didn't want to waste time on the road, and second, he needed a war horse model.

For him, wasting time is truly wasting wealth.

For him, the best way to persuade is to demonstrate on the spot and speak with strength, and he has made all preparations for the demonstration.

But what did he want to show? No one knew except himself.

On the sixteenth day after returning to Seneca, Woolley sent invitations to the top ten families in Seneca. Archon Antony and Tribune Aesop also received invitations. The invitations were neatly written: Tomorrow at noon, in the ancient river channel ten miles west of Seneca, Woolley Greendo will display a set of unprecedented utensils. After the display, a small auction will be held. If you don't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you don't want to be beaten to it by other wise citizens, please come on time.

So, before noon the next day, a dozen citizens dressed in luxurious clothes and with extraordinary demeanor but also full of doubts appeared beside the ancient river channel with a width of more than 400 steps, ten miles west of Seneca City, as well as the consul Antony, who was supposed to stay in his official residence and enjoy the comfort.

The only person who received the invitation but did not come was the tribune Aesop, but this did not have any impact on Woolley.

Before these citizens arrived, dozens of wooden tables and more chairs had been placed on a flat area somewhere beside the ancient river channel. On the tables were fruits, bread, dried meat, wine and water. Each table was firmly shaded by a large cloth umbrella because Wu Lai didn't want his guests to be dazzled by the summer sun.

From the moment the scene was set up, Wu Lai, accompanied by Gauguin and Gu Dun, stood at the fork in the road waiting for these people to appear. In order to show his sincerity, he even refused Gauguin's use of an umbrella to shade him.

When all the people who came saw Wu Lai, who was sweating profusely but still smiling, the annoyance caused by the hot weather in their hearts was relieved a lot. When they sat down at the wooden table shaded by a cloth umbrella and began to enjoy the food and drinks, the last trace of unhappiness disappeared without a trace.

The last person to arrive here was the consul Antony.

After Anthony greeted everyone with a smile and sat down, Wu Lai stood with a smile on his face where everyone's eyes met.

"It's an honor! I can see you, the most powerful and wealthy people in Seneca City, here. Thank you for coming! I promise that everyone will find the trip worthwhile!" After Wu Lai said loudly, he turned around and waved to Caesar who was two hundred steps away.

"Whoosh!" Caesar raised a wooden pole that was thirty cubits long. A red cloth was tied to the top of the pole.

The red cloth fluttered in the wind. Wu Lai smiled slightly, bowed and pointed toward the ancient river channel: "Please enjoy!"

Just as everyone frowned, the sound of horse hooves came to their ears...

No! How could the sound of horse hooves be so clear? ! Just as everyone was beginning to wonder, a black horse galloped towards them from the upstream of the ancient river.

"Good horses!" Many people shouted involuntarily. Although the ancient river channel in front of them looked flat, it was actually full of pebbles of varying sizes. Running on such a ground was definitely a very difficult test for horses.

"Master." Gudun glanced at the horse that was getting closer and closer, and looked at Wu Lai.

"Go!" As soon as Wu Lai swung his right arm, Gudun leaped out and strode towards the black horse.

What is this for? Just as the nobles were beginning to wonder, Caesar pulled the long pole back, and a target three cubits square appeared in his left hand. The red center of the target attracted a lot of attention.

In less than a moment, Gudun's figure had met the galloping black horse. Under the gaze of everyone, Gudun turned sideways and stretched out his hand, quickly grabbed the horse's back, and his body suddenly rose up, and in a flash he landed steadily on the horse's back. Then, amid the cheers of the crowd, he pulled the reins hard, turned the horse's head and squeezed the horse's belly, and the black horse galloped away along the way it came.

A guard slave with good riding skills, but could this Wuleglindo want to sell him? The nobles, including Archon Anthony, thought in unison.

Just as this thought came to mind, the sound of horse hooves became more rapid. When they focused their attention again, they saw a jaw-dropping scene—

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Gudun stood upright with his hands on the horse's belly, the reins were loosened, and in his hand there was a large bow and a feather arrow...

The black horse galloped wildly, but no matter how its body rose and fell, Gudun stood firmly, the bow in his hand was already drawn, and the arrow was on the string...

The bow was pulled out to form a full moon, and with the sound of the string "bang humming", the feather arrow flew out like lightning...

"Tsk!" The arrow firmly hit the target extended by Caesar.

Wu Lai waved his hand again, and the four slaves who had been waiting by the river each held two straw dummies and ran towards the center of the river. The sound of horse hooves came and went, and this time, Gu Dun had a long knife in his hand...

In a flash, the eight dummies that had just been inserted were split apart and chopped off...

"What a warrior!" someone praised loudly, and others began to calculate what price to buy Gudun. In their opinion, Gudun must be the "commodity" that Wu Lai was auctioning today - his riding skills, archery skills, and swordsmanship were extraordinary. If he was put on the battlefield, he would definitely bring them considerable profits.

"Enough! Wuleglindo! Tell me, what price are you going to sell him for?" someone shouted.

"Him?" Wulai laughed, shook his head, and answered loudly, "Dear most distinguished citizens of the Seneca City-State, what I, Wulai Grindo, want to sell today is not my guard slave. Of course, he looks good, but he is not actually that good. If you don't believe me, let's take another look."

The sound of horse hooves approached again, and this time, it was Neptune who was riding the horse.

The nobles frowned, and after a while, a look of surprise flashed across their eyes, because they found that in addition to "jumping on the horse", the white-haired old man actually performed the same skills of riding a horse and shooting arrows, and chopping left and right as Gudun just did, and his speed and accuracy were no less inferior.

What's going on?

"Okay! The demonstration ends here!" Wu Lai appeared in the open space in front of everyone with a smile on his face. "Today, I, Wu Lai Grindo, invited everyone here because I have a set of magical horse harnesses."

"With this set of horse harness, war horses and power horses can gallop at full speed without worrying about cracked hooves or injuries."

"With this set of horse harness, the rider can easily shoot arrows with a bow, wield a sword or a gun, or loosen the reins to play with a woman."

"With this harness, you won't feel tired on long rides, and you can maintain the demeanor of a citizen when getting on and off the horse."

"It can even be used to equip an outstanding cavalry, invincible, unstoppable, coming and going like the wind, and plundering like fire."

As he was speaking, two slaves carried a large wooden box in front of Wu Lai.

After jumping onto the box, Wu Lai's smile was brighter than the sun: "Inside the box under my feet is this magical set of horse harness, and now my auction will officially begin."

"What I want to auction is one hundred war horses and four hundred power horses!" Wu Lai's voice suddenly rose a few notches, "All of these five hundred horses have a set of such horse harnesses! And I can guarantee that my horse harnesses can only imitate the appearance at most! Its magic is absolutely impossible to imitate!"

“If you don’t believe it, you can buy it and try it,” he added with a smile.
