48 Hours a Day

Zhang Heng contacted the perfume shop in the way that the priestess had given him. As a result, there was nothing to gain other than feeling confident in the blade of balance. This made Zhang Heng's heart feel bad.

The woman wearing the veil was right. Zhang Heng did not know the true power of the Blade of Balance. However, just a short time ago, he had just come into contact with Otrus, knowing that people like Otrus were absolutely difficult to deal with, not to mention that Otrus now revealed that he was working with the Hound Dog to prepare the Blade of Balance of Death together.

In Zhang Hengyuan's original expectation, the war between the Blade of Balance and the Hound lasted for more than 200 years. It should be equally difficult to separate victories and losses this time, so that his candidate for the Blade of Balance can also see the means between the two sides as he paddles water.

But now it seems likely that he overestimated the abilities of the Blade of Balance generation of leaders, as well as the reentrant hound, and if the speaker is a hound man, the hive behind him is likely to be part of the peripheral organization of the hound.

And that means that the hounds have probably been operating in Rome for quite some time. The previous British assassination was probably just a way for the hounds to divert their gaze. The blade of balance knows nothing about the opponents who grew up under their noses, making it hard for Zhang Heng to believe that they were really proactive in this war.

And once the blade of balance collapses, it is obviously difficult for him as a candidate to be alone.

Zhang Heng knew that he needed to prepare ahead of time to prevent the situation from suddenly deteriorating, although according to old Persian trainers, including himself, only four people in the blade of internal balance knew Zhang Heng's identity. But from this moment on, Zhang Heng also needs to be ready after the identity leak.

However, he did not intend to abandon his plan to assassinate Otrus, not only because Zhang Heng needed to enter the secret library of the Blade of Balance, but also because he could solve Otrus, which should also relieve the Blade of Balance.

With Autrus' cautious to ultimate character, there are few opportunities to reveal a breakthrough.

This time he didn't think Zhang Heng had finished the troubled glass of wine, he could still stay awake when he asked, and obviously he didn't think that someone could hear so much information from the tone, language and footsteps alone, otherwise he would never have come to meet Zhang Heng personally.

But then, I'm afraid Zhang Heng will start racing against time.

…………

“What? Your enclosure has been cut off. In Mesopotamia, where is it?” The little girl, who had been a slave in Rome since birth, had never left the city. She had also heard of the nearby province and could not be further away.

“Well, the province of Mesopotamia is southeast of Rome, thousands of miles away, first by carriage, then by boat, then by carriage, for the past few months or so.” Zhang Hengdao.

“Wasn't it so far away that you couldn't leave Rome?” The little slave doesn't understand, "how are you going to manage your enclosure? ”

After she said it, she found Zhang Heng's eyes on herself. First, the little slave stood still and then seemed to think of something white, "You... what do you mean, you won't let me go? ”

“Well, it might be hard for you to run. ”

“But don't you say it's thousands of kilometers away?” The little slave was totally stunned.

“You don't have to rush, I don't have to rush anyway, you can walk slowly and enjoy the sights along the way and try the good food, I will give you enough travel expenses, you have not left Rome before, just as you have been out of the house for a long time. ”

“But I don't want to leave… Rome.” The little slave almost came out. I didn't want to leave you. Good thing at the end of the day, she was anxious to replace the word "you” with “Rome”.

“I know. Just do me a favor. I don't have anybody else I can trust. ”

“But I've been a slave ever since I was a kid, and I don't know what to do about it.” The little slave finally came up with another reason to stand up, and then hastily added, "I'd rather stay with you, wash your clothes, cook your food, and take care of your living room, which I'm best at. ”

But she didn't expect someone to be more ruthless than she thought, Zhang Heng heard the words, “It's okay, if the business loses money to write to me, you can spend it yourself. ”

“Is that okay?” The little slave was completely stunned by Zhang Heng's immunity, and she wanted to say later, but that's not the point. However, when she reacted, she heard Zhang Heng say directly in an incontrovertible tone, "Go clean up, go the day after tomorrow, go early, or it will be winter when you reach Mesopotamia province. ”

The little slave heard that her heart had completely fallen to the bottom of the valley. Faced with the same order, she could no longer say anything. She ran away with her head down.

Zhang Heng knew that when the little slave returned to her room, she must have cried a lot.

However, this does not change any of Zhang Heng's decisions. Con Maud would have wanted to give him a patch of land near Rome, but Zhang Heng voluntarily demanded that his patch be placed in a remote area. The outside world claimed to want a little more land, but in fact, it was just to find an excuse to send the little girl on a long trip.

These days, let alone the mobile phone internet, not even a telegram, people are basically disconnected when they go out, so that no matter what happens in Rome, the little slave will not be affected, and Zhang Heng will send out the next two people who have the closest relationship with him.

As for goodbye, sooner or later, even if nothing happens, Zhang Heng will leave the copy a year later, instead of spending more time with him a year later, it would be more difficult to separate. Better to be harsh now. Zhang Heng also basically gave the money earned during this period to the little slave. After sending the latter away, he can finally let go completely.

Zhang Heng sneaked into the temple where the citizens' files were kept at night, finding the list of nobles born 20 years ago. However, some of the results surprised him. After spending about a week investigating and ruling it out, Zhang Heng discovered that Otrus was not among them.

This is somewhat strange, either Otrus has taken his own citizenship file by some method, or Zhang Heng has gone in the wrong direction. Otrus is not really of noble origin, as rumored, but as soon as this does not explain the nobility habits on his body, the number of civilians can be higher than the nobility. Zhang Heng cannot collect all the civilian files born 20 years ago and exclude one.

Zhang Heng thinks he may have missed something.
