48 Hours a Day

“What do you say?” Marcus rubbed his hands in anticipation toward Zhang Heng.

The latter tried holding two Persian swords in his hand and nodded, “Not bad. ”

“As long as you like, I'm counting on you this time.” Markus Road, “for the honor of the Victor Arena, we must take the championship of this fight. ”

“I'll do what I can.” Zhang Hengdao.

“Good, I know you're the most reliable.” Makrous patted Heng's shoulder satisfactorily, "in addition to you, we intend to send Bach, Habitus, Carnero, Murkazan, Paral and Milo, enough seats for seven people, but of course my favorite is you, and I asked Gabi to investigate several other arena fighters and to identify the key target audiences that need attention, although the specific list will not come out until tomorrow. Oh, by the way, there's a dinner tonight you need to attend. ”

Zhang Hengyang raised his eyebrows.

“I know, I know, we had a deal, but this time it was different, the dinner was held at the old house of Dior, and he was one of the most powerful people in the Senate, and the most powerful people in the entire empire would be there, including our new emperor, who wanted to see what it would be like to see the warriors ready to appear tomorrow before the martial arts show, not just you, but all the gladiators must go, and I will have you dressed up in the afternoon. ”

After that, Marcus turned around and walked out the door, but when he walked to the door, he stopped and added, "You'd better use the rest of your time to take a shower, sprinkle yourself with perfume, believe me, and make yourself popular in front of these people. It's definitely not a bad thing, you're going to face the most powerful group in Rome. ”

…………

Zhang Heng's little slave's hands and feet were quite diligent. Marcus' front foot had just left. Her back foot was just about to give Zhang Heng something to bathe in. However, she had just opened the door with the barrel, but the next moment she couldn't help but beat a long arrears. The barrel in her hand also fell to the floor. The little slave panicked, trying to bend over to pick up the barrel, but at this moment a thicker sleepiness poured into her head. She couldn't resist this sleepiness, and finally fell asleep on the floor with the barrel in her arms.

Zhang Heng looked at Dadatis walking in through the door and had an accident, “Did you come to me in the middle of the day? ”

“Don't worry, I'm careful, nobody sees me.” The old trainer said, "You have fulfilled our previous agreement to enter the list of gladiator performances, and I can tell you what to do next. ”

“Hmm?”

“If not surprisingly, you should have been invited to dinner tonight, which is a rare opportunity for you, and we need you to get close to someone at the dinner and impress him a little bit if possible. ”

“Who?”

“Our Majesty, Conmoord.” Dadatis spit out a name.

“So your target is indeed the Roman Emperor?” Zhang Heng did not reveal too much shock when he heard the name, perhaps because the history of Khanmoud was the result of the assassination, and the presence of Dadatis at the gladiator's school itself already explains many problems.

Conmood is probably the favorite of all Roman emperors, and he also has a strange habit. He can't be satisfied just by admiring it on the stands. He has to do it himself before he gets addicted. Historically, his last method of death was quite different, and he was strangled by gladiators in the bathtub.

“Maybe, maybe not.” The answer of the old trainer was ambiguous.

“We'd better be honest, because if it's really Conmoor, I'm afraid I'm going to quit the test.” Zhang Hengdao.

“Why?” the old trainer asked seriously.

“I may be a Gentile, but I'm not stupid enough to know the consequences of killing a Roman emperor.” Zhang Hengfangdao, “the conditions you set were not enough for me to take this risk. ”

Dadatis heard the rumor to Zhang Heng's eyes, a moment later the old trainer gave in, “Well, I can assure you that your goal this time is not Conmoor. ”

“Who's that?” Zhang Heng asked, "Are you going to keep this from me? ”

The old trainer hesitated for a long time this time, and finally said, “Otrus, Conmoord's most trusted advisor, also of some royal descent himself, but before he met Conmoord, he was already depressed, all day long, Mixed City Well, but now that our friend looks like the saltfish has turned around, he is now with another young man called Conmoord, his left arm, and Conmoord's figure, if not surprisingly, he will most likely be the Empire's number two figure. ”

“Why did you assassinate him? ”

“This is a message from Kleith, and it is our duty to carry it out, not to ask why.” The plan was simple, "said the old trainer," and Otruz's whereabouts had always been mysterious. He knew his current position was jealous, so he acted cautiously and was always ready to be assassinated, but he always had to work for Conmud, only Conmud knew his whereabouts. ”

“So you want me to approach Conmood and get the whereabouts of Autrus from him? ”

“Yes, that's right.” The old trainer said, "Unlike other emperors, Khanmoud seems particularly fond of people at the bottom and especially of gladiators, which you can use to get close to him and gradually build friendships with him. ”

Zhang Heng thought about it and asked, "If I help you solve this, even if you pass the test, you won't bother me anymore? ”

“Yes, then you will be a core member of the Blade of Balance as my successor, and, as I said before, our management will actually be loose and free until the next Messenger arrives, when the members of the organization can do their part. ”

“Until the next message arrives?” Zhang Heng questioned.

The old trainer turned a white eye, “I know what you're thinking, you don't really have to worry so much, you're not the only member of the blade of balance, you don't always catch a sheep fur, although there are no clear rules, usually the same member won't carry out two tasks in a row, but I can't guarantee it later. ”

Zhang Hengfeng was not too worried about later, after the copy time he was gone anyway, even if the power of the Blade of Balance was a hundred times bigger, it would not be possible to rush out the Blade of Balance and chase him for 2,000 years. In addition, Zhang Hengfeng felt that the old man had worked so hard to teach him for so long, without merit and hard work, he was not good at just eating grass and not milking, just to repay the other party's professional gratitude, but also to help the Blade of Balance find the whereabouts of Otrus.

So Zhang Hengdao, "Okay, this is on me. ”
