48 Hours a Day

Although Lucilla temporarily dismissed the idea of suicide under the persuasion of Zhang Heng, her heart was still full. Especially the next morning, she saw that almost all the city was filled with wanted warrants posted. In this case, let alone close to the target, even walking down the street became more difficult.

Over time, Zhang Heng's situation will only become more and more dangerous.

Since that night, the two people have lost touch. Lucilla doesn't know if Zhang Heng is still alive. If he is still alive, she knows how long he can hide. She knows that Zhang Heng has his own power in the southeastern city. However, the reward on the warrant is enough to turn anyone into a traitor. Not to mention, the guys in the southeastern city have no sense of honor themselves. As long as the money is enough, the poor can sell off even their own father, and Zhang Heng now loses his position next to Kang Maud. In other words, this is the time when he has the weakest control.

Lucilla didn't know how Zhang Heng had to restrain his men to avoid being betrayed.

In fact, Lucilla felt more likely that Zhang Heng had escaped from Rome because it was the only way to explain why he had neither come to see himself nor been caught.

Lucilla's heart sinks when she thinks of it.

And this is when a hand held her body, and the voice of Pompeanus came from behind her, as gentle as ever, "What, are you sick? ”

Lucilla retrieved her gaze from the street downstairs and barely revealed a smile, "Nothing, I was just thinking, in a few days it will be Agricultural Divine Festival. ”

“Oh, yeah, Farmer's Day.” Pompeanus nodded, "I heard there would be a big celebration on Tulajin Square that day, and maybe we could go there and have some fun. ”

“Yeah, that's right.” Lucilla was distracted to deal with her husband.

“But now, darling, we're going to the Victor Arena to see the fight.” Pompeanus picked up the necklace on the table, put it on for Lucilla herself, and straightened out her hair. "Unfortunately, your favorite Orientalist can no longer perform in the Victor arena, but it's good that we still have the giant Terrifiros to watch, but we have to hurry, otherwise we won't be able to make it to the show. ”

“I'll be fine soon, why don't you go downstairs and wait for me. ”

“Sure.” Pompeanus smiled and kissed Lucilla's forehead before opening the door.

But he just took a step, and the whole person was set there, and then slowly back into the room, and Lucilla heard the footsteps behind her frowned, and then she turned back and said, "What, you forgot something? ”

The next moment, however, she saw a dagger in the hands of a servant dressed up in Pompeanus' chest, and Lucilla's heart suddenly rose with a chill, apparently unexpected that the Hound's assassin had arrived so quickly, saying, "Something's coming at me, he has nothing to do with it, he knows nothing. ”

“No, I'm afraid this has a lot to do with him.” The assassin dressed as a servant opened his mouth, and it was Zhang Heng's voice.

“You still haven't left in Rome?” Lucilla was stunned.

“Yeah, our deal hasn't been fulfilled, of course I won't leave," Zhang Hengdao, "I've helped you kill Otruz, but the Hound's leader, he's usually in the barracks, not so good at it, and after I kill Otruz, he'll definitely be more vigilant, but it's good that I know a great opportunity to avoid all his men and guards perfectly, when he returns home from the barracks. ”

“Wait, are you talking about my husband, the leader of the hound?” Lucilla's face is incredible, "how is that possible? It's just a lie you made up to get into the library, right? ”

“Unfortunately not, to be honest, I've never doubted him before, either, because he's almost perfectly disguised, Olerio's close associates, your husband, military figure number one, and has always been known for his gentle personality, while barely participating in any factional struggle, and normally no one will associate him with the Hound leader, nor will I. ”

Zhang Hengton went on to say, "But a few months ago, when I was in the southeastern city, I was more inclined to think that the assassin was sent by Clint because he was always a little jealous of Conmood's preference for me, but only a few days ago, I met the hired man, a hundred chiefs named Hulto, and I didn't know that he had served under your husband for a long time, and that he seemed a little panicked when someone mentioned his relationship with your husband, which made me realize that your husband might not be as simple as it seemed.

“Until then, however, I still didn't think he would be the leader of the hound, first because the man who assassinated me wasn't from the hound, and secondly because of the timing of the assassination, at which time my identity had not been revealed, and whoever hired the assassin obviously didn't come to kill me because I was an alternate member of the Blade of Balance, in fact I still had no answer to that question.” Zhang Heng looked at Pompeanus in front of him as he spoke.

However, the latter simply listened quietly and did not say anything.

So Zhang Heng continued, "But this let me know that the man behind Hulto was your husband, and, as I said earlier, until this time, three coins, I still only knew who you and Otrus were, not who the leader of the hound was, so I wasn't going to stay in Rome anymore.

“I have a friend named Varo, it was me... Well, I met him at the gladiator's school, he was an antique dealer before he became a slave, but then his wife and his best friend cheated on his property together, and I hired someone to help him investigate, and found that it was not simple, whether his wife or good friend was just working for someone else, and the man behind the whole thing was an elder named Peregrino, and it was not his first time doing this. ”

“What are you trying to say?” Lucilla wondered why Zhang Heng suddenly brought the subject to the attention of a civilian.

And Zhang Hengzhe said, “Don't worry, listen to me and you will understand. After the assassination of False Otrus, the Blade of Balance has not contacted me. I knew that your situation was not good. I waited another two days and I was ready to escape. At that time, I thought I was going to run anyway. Let's just take care of my friend's troubles. After all, Varo and I had a good time at the gladiator's school, so let's pretend to do him another favor. ”
