48 Hours a Day

“Are we friends?” Zhang Heng asked in confusion.

“Of course, of course, we are all advisors to His Majesty the Emperor, naturally friends.” Otrus' voice was sincere, and he couldn't help but want to believe him, and the role of plant alkaloids in the tundra, and another man here couldn't help but open his heart to him.

In fact, Otrus was very pleased with Zhang Heng's reaction, and he continued to ask, "I heard that you are from a distant Eastern country. There are rumors that you are a nobleman there. Why don't you live a good life and enjoy it? You have to run away from home and come to Rome a thousand miles away? ”

“Oh, it's a long story, my family once stood out, my father was an empire general, but then he was planted, trapped, and in the ensuing political struggle, my family was defeated, I lost all the people and things I cared about, and in the end I was alone, I had to leave my country, go west, I didn't know where my end was, I just needed to... escape from that nightmarish past, I didn't know I was coming to Rome, and I didn't want anyone else to know what I had been through. ”

Zhang Heng knew that Autorus could not prove false, so he could safely make it up, and Zhang Heng also used the story to explain why he had such a good figure and considerable political experience.

“Understandably," Autrus nodded, "now that you are a citizen of Rome, this city will be your new home. ”

“I hope so. ”

“Let's move on to what happened after you arrived in Rome. When was the first time you and Your Majesty met?” Autrus asked.

“The first time I met His Majesty was at the Dior's dinner.” Zhang Hengdao.

“I heard about what happened that night, and you provoked Satonillos to draw His Majesty's attention, and you did it because someone wanted you to? ”

“No, I'm doing this because I want to be free and go into higher society.” Zhang Heng's voice sounds a little sleepy. “Believe me, my origins make me not unfamiliar with this kind of thing. If I want to find a place to lean against the mountain, then of course I have to choose the biggest one. ”

“Wise choice,” Autruston said, then threw another question, "What do you think of Lucilla? ”

“Who?”

“His Majesty's sister, Augusta Lucilla of the Roman Empire. ”

“She wants to sleep with me.” Zhang Heng thought not falsely.

Otrus also seemed to be laughing and laughing, “Yes, Lucilla lived with her mother in her private life, and all kinds of men were like her spoils of war, and you were the gladiator champion of the Flavi Circular Theatre, which was still quite new to her, and she wasn't surprised that she was interested in you, but I'm not asking, I wonder, what do you think or think of her? ”

“I can't see through her," Zhang Henglian said, “I've heard rumors about her that her relationship with His Majesty the Emperor is not as good as it looks on the surface, so I've been trying to stay away from her and no one would like to pedal the two boats. ”

“You're smarter than the vast majority of people," Autrus raised his eyebrows, "the last question. Have you heard of the Blade of Balance? ”

“The Blade of Balance, what is it?” Zhang Heng wondered.

“An ancient organization of assassins who believe in Kleith, whose members believe they have a balanced responsibility to preserve the world. ”

“Cleese, I think I've heard that name somewhere.” Zhang Heng revealed the colour of thought, "Someone nicknamed the microphone seems to have mentioned equilibrium or something to me, but I don't care about this kind of thing, I just want to do my own thing, I don't want to cause any trouble, etc... Am I in any trouble? ”

“For the time being, no.” Autruscan, "I was quite satisfied with this conversation. I like honest people, and I hope you will continue to maintain this valuable quality. Please also forgive me for my discretion and offense. As the most trusted advisor to His Majesty the Emperor, it is my duty and duty to understand the details of everyone. But after all, this is the first time we've met, let me give you a present. ”

“What gift?” Zhang Heng beat Hao.

“You'll find out soon enough.” Otrus snorted and laughed, not saying it in detail, but softly said, "You're tired tonight, drinking too much wine again, why don't you get some sleep? ”

“You're right, I'm going to sleep.” Zhang Heng muttered, just feeling sleepy, his eyelids grew heavier and heavier, eventually leaning against the chair and sleeping over.

Otrus waited a little while before clapping his hands for the waitress outside to come in.

Autrus said, "Take care of him, and when he wakes up, send him home safely. ”

“That's it? What if he wakes up and remembers that we drugged him and asked us to settle the bill?” The maid frowned.

“No, he won't remember what happened after the drink.” Otrus was sure, "and even if he remembered, he wouldn't dare ask us to settle the bill, because I have a lot of secrets in his hands. ”

“What about Clint? It's been a long time since Clint was angry with you, you two were near Conmood at the same time, but you kept him on one side, and Clint was jealous of you, and he was willing to make this Oriental an advisor to Conmood, and to deal with you with him. Don't you want to solve this problem? ”

Otrus still smells like he doesn't care, "Clint's pattern is too small, he thinks of me as his biggest competitor, but I don't think of him as an opponent, he's just a self-righteous idiot, and I've never been worried about him. ”

The maid seemed to be caught in silence, and Autrus ordered, "I'll do my part, and you better do your part, and get rid of the blade of balance first. ”

The maid hummed, "We're well prepared this time, it's time for those guys with the blade of balance to pay off that bloody debt they owed 200 years ago, and this time none of their people are going to let go. ”

“Well, such an assassin's organization is too dangerous, and there's no need to exist, or it's better to destroy it.” Otrus agrees, "they still want to do it to me, so I'll have to solve the problem one step at a time. ”
