48 Hours a Day

Zhang Heng arrived at the palace before dark, and now the guards outside the palace are familiar with him. Knowing the red man in front of Kang Maud, he saw that he had stopped.

Of course, there is a secret passage to the study like Autrus, and Zhang Heng's treatment is never expected.

Conmoord's trust in Autorus has reached a point where no one can reach it, far beyond the relationship between the emperor and the advisor.

From this point of view, Zhang Hengcheng understands why the blade of balance, which has considerable political resources, must be eliminated, because there is essentially no way to separate Otrus from Conmood except for the assassination.

However, Zhang Heng's position on the blade of equilibrium also became somewhat curious, not knowing which side they were on, whether the purpose of killing Otrus was to weaken the Emperor and make him unavailable, or not to want him to continue to be bewitched by Otrus.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Zhang Heng. Zhang Heng was on his way to the carriage to think about it. He gave his Persian sword to a waitress beside him and then followed another waitress into the palace.

There are already many people in the lobby, but His Majesty the Emperor has not yet appeared, and Zhang Heng has not seen anyone suspected of Otrus.

Clinder arrived early, was traveling in the crowd, I could see that he was quite close, basically everyone had more respect for him, Clinder also saw Zhang Heng, patted the back of a young man he was talking to, and then walked over.

“Welcome, I heard about the mines, you handled them well and made the bronze statues delivered on time.” Clinder said, then lowered his voice, "Did you find out who was behind this? ”

Zhang Heng shook his head, “I don't know, I went to Elder Divobrayeh, hoping that he could give me some help, but he refused me, but then things settled. ”

“Divobraya?” Clindyan raised his eyebrows, "the old fox, he refused you, not surprisingly, because the guy was a wallgrass, and nobody wanted to offend him, but then why did he help you solve the matter secretly, just to show us? ”

Clint seems a little incomprehensible.

“I heard you had some problems there, too.” Zhang Heng helped Divobrayeh to distract him again.

“Oh, someone tried to block the launch of the new copper coin, and I killed some people, so the rest of them were honest.” Clint didn't think otherwise, "some people in the Senate seemed to feel too comfortable, forgetting where the power in their hands came from. His Majesty's father was too tolerant of the Senate when he was in office to make some people feel comfortable. We need to change the status quo, if not surprise, this is what we will do next. ”

Clindt inadvertently revealed some plans for the future to Zhang Heng, which is also one of his small ways to pull together his political allies.

The two of them then chatted again, Clint did not talk about politics anymore, but shifted the conversation to eating, drinking and having fun. Zhang Heng recommended several famous restaurants in Rome City. Zhang Heng remembered, prepared to take the little slave with him one day to try it. He came to play cards at the Roman online red store in the 2nd century AD, and second to see if he could get some more points.

After a while, Conmood finally walked into the lobby.

People stopped talking and saluted the young emperor, who seemed in a good mood tonight, waving, "Today's dinner is to welcome a new friend, there are no outsiders here, so don't be too constrained.” After he finished, he looked at Zhang Heng.

Zhang Hengmei walked in front of Kang Maud and was held over his shoulder by His Majesty the Emperor. Kang Maud was very excited. "Next, I would like to introduce you to my new advisor. I am sure that you are not strangers to him, because no one in Rome knows his name and all the women are crazy about him - he is the champion of the battle of the Flavi Circular Theatre and can surrender one buffalo empty-handed, he is Zhang Heng from another distant eastern empire! ”

His Majesty the Emperor deliberately raised the volume when he recited Zhang Heng's name, and a warm round of applause ensued in the ballroom.

When the applause was slightly smaller, Kang Maude continued, “I bet all of you together are not necessarily opponents of Zhang Heng, but don't think that he is just a reckless man. In fact, his wisdom also amazes me. You know Southeast Urban area, the security problems there have existed for a hundred or two years, making successive emperors very headached. However, most people have no good idea about it, but Zhang Heng spent two months, and in just two months, he made the security situation there greatly improved. His talent is more valuable to me than his force, because my father used to say that ruling the country, his head must always be more useful than a sword. ”

People nodded when they heard the story.

Kang Maud took two glasses of wine from the waiter and gave one to Zhang Heng, then raised the one in his hand, "Let's toast this amazing Orientalist who will never let down, welcome him into our cause, let's make Rome even greater together! ”

Zhang Heng also raised his glasses, adding, "To Our Majesty, Rome will be full of glory under His leadership. ”

“To Your Majesty, to our new friend, Zhang Heng!” Everyone raised their glasses and shouted.

After that, Kang Maud asked Clindt to take Zhang Heng to meet the people attending the dinner.

Zhang Heng shook hands with the guests and listened to Clinder's introduction, but his heart gradually subsided because he found his target, Otrus, unavailable.

Tonight's dinner is almost complete with the most mysterious Otrus.

In this way, not only did Zhang Heng's previous plans all go away, but he found that he could not find a way to get close to Otruz in a short time.

If Otrus was cautious enough not to even attend a dinner party of his own, it would mean that no one could see him but Conmoord, and the difficulty of assassinating him would increase, let alone handing him over to the priestess for some time before killing him.

Zhang Heng didn't think about meeting any new friends after that. He and everyone here had different purposes. After all, he was just a passenger for Rome in the second century AD, and even if he got mixed up in Clinde's position, it didn't mean much to him.
