48 Hours a Day

Chapter 886 Arrows & Machetes

In the southeastern city, the microphone used the teachings of the Blade of Balance to test Zhang Heng, and then Zhang Heng told Otrus about it, so now he can't lie about it in the dungeon.

At the same time, Zhang Heng also realized that the reason why Khan Maud would name him and Clint to interrogate the captured assassin was probably not accidental, but to expose the existence of the blade of balance by letting him, the “knower”.

And it also means that the assassination that took place by the bridge this afternoon was not caused by the Blade of Balance, but by an oboe that Autrus colluded with Conmood to sing together.

Otrus never thought of putting a double in front of him, just using it as a consumable, and successfully blaming the assassination on the blade of balance, so that the power of the state machine could be used to surround the blade of balance.

And the facts are even better than Zhang Heng speculated.

As soon as he and Clint reported the information they had received from the assassin, His Majesty the Emperor issued a wanted notice to all members of the Blade of Balance, even offering 100,000 gold coins from his private vault as a reward to avenge his most trusted advisor.

The House of Lords also expressed concern about the matter, and a group of dignitaries, led by Dior, mourned the assassination of Otrus in the first place, because of the irregularities in the use of funds from the treasury and even the donation of another 200,000 gold coins to join the bounty, although, privately, many people were actually very happy.

Because Otrus was a Conmood man, and had always been known with Clint as Conmood's left arm, now that Otrus died, he had lost one hand, so that the young emperor would have to rely more on the Senate in the future.

Such a situation is undoubtedly something that a large group of aristocrats, led by Dior, would like to see, but their happiness lasted less than half a day, and then they became foolish together because they found themselves underestimating the young emperor.

With the death of Otrus, Conmood began to launder the senior commander of the SS.

In addition to Sebutur, a military civilian guardian who escaped a robbery because of his successful escort, other officers of great nobility were either reassigned or abolished, replacing a group of officers who had previously fought with the Khanmoud and Germanic tribes, regardless of their origins, with a common denominator of loyalty to Khanmoud.

Ultimately, with the exception of the Supreme Commander of the Garrison, Khanmoud, who was temporarily inactive, other middle and senior generals were replaced, which meant that Khanmoud actually had complete control of the strongest armed forces in Rome.

By the time the Senate reacted, everything had settled, and Dior and others could only face each other.

However, Zhang Heng did not have much time to worry about these political upheavals. Five days after the assassination of Otrus, the blade of balance still did not contact him.

He remained calm for the last five days and was summoned this morning by Khan Maud, who had done an excellent job in the assassination by the bridge and killed three assassins. Khan Maud decided to give him a great deal more land, which even exceeded the territory of many generations of aristocratic families.

The only downside is that it is a little far from Rome, and if there is a war in the future, it can easily become the front line, but even so, many envy him, after all, even as a consultant, there is a mixed difference.

Now everyone can see that if no surprise occurs, Clint will take over the vacant position of Autrus and become Commodore's chief advisor, while Zhang Heng will be the next Clint, provided, of course, that he can find a way to repair the minor contradiction between Clint and Clint caused by the persuasion.

Clinder is now waiting for Zhang Heng to bow his head. Although he still feels Zhang Heng is a threat, this does not prevent him from enjoying the victory at this stage first, but embarrasses him that Zhang Heng did not come to him in the following days, and the latter does not know what is going on and is often away all day.

But tonight, Zhang Hengzheng rarely went home for the night. He pushed his hand open the door and walked into the front hall, but Zhang Hengzheng's footsteps stopped.

He had sent the little girl away almost a month ago. Now only Zhang Heng and two servants attached to the house in Domusli. They lived with Zhang Heng for a short time and had no attractive features, but they did a good job.

At this time, Zhang Heng would come home to greet him, but now the entire Domusli quietly, without a sound, until Zhang Heng stood in the front hall, and the water waves in the rain pond were mapped on the wall by the moonlight, shaking slightly.

Zhang Heng's ears also captured the sound of the sharp instrument breaking the air.

Zhang Heng almost moved his front foot. An arrow in the back foot shot him where he had previously stood. Zhang Heng knew without raising his head that the archer was hiding on the second floor, and most likely the assassin who had previously shot “Autrus” with an arrow by the bridge.

Zhang Heng was also impressed by the arrow method before him, so Zhang Heng didn't think much of it, he flashed behind a marble cylinder beside him. However, just as he was approaching the marble cylinder, he suddenly stopped again without signs.

Meanwhile, the cylinder stretched out a curved knife to his face. If Zhang Heng didn't hold his foot just now, he could now be cut directly into two sections by the curved knife.

But Zhang Heng's crisis did not pass at this moment. Although he avoided this premeditated ambush by relying on Superman's first-class hearing and prediction, he did not forget that there was another archer on the second floor, and the other party would obviously not let go of such a good opportunity. And the truth is, just as he thought, that the archer on the second floor captured this opportunity to turn and pass away, releasing the bowstring.

Therefore, Zhang Heng now has to face not only the machete in front of him, but also the second arrow coming at him.

Zhang Heng did not hesitate to make a choice, because the machete had cut into his chest, he had to deal with the near-immediate crisis first, so Zhang Heng waved the Persian sword in his hand, while the other hand quickly pressed on the handle of another Persian sword.

Almost at the same moment, Zhang Heng blocked the machete, the deadly arrow also flew to him. Zhang Heng had to take out another Persian sword before the last moment, and then he used the method of solving the archer gladiator at the Flavi Circular Theatre to knock down the feather arrow that had been shot at him.

What can be ascertained is that neither of the assassins in front of them saw Zhang Heng's performance, so when they saw the scene, there was inevitable trance.

Because it really doesn't seem like something that humans can do.
