Gladiator is the super idol of this era.
Therefore, it's hard to escape the entanglement of the capital and the dignitaries by referring to the stars and idols of later generations.
What's worse is that no matter how famous the Gladiator is, he still can't get rid of his slave status. As long as someone pays a high price, Gladiator school will arrange a secret tryst between the gladiator and the generous lady.
And when a man and a woman have a secret tryst, what happens after that is self-evident.
It's also an extra income for the Gladiator school, but most gladiators don't resist it either.
In addition to not disobeying the master's orders, but also because it will add a different color to their legend, which is talked about by people.
One of the most famous is the story of sergiolus and abiya. The former was a famous Gladiator at that time, while the latter was the wife of an elder. Abiya always dated sergiolus after his performance, which was known by many people in Rome at that time.
But none of them expected that abiya would abandon her husband and family for the sake of sergiolus. The two children, who were tortured by love, finally eloped with each other one night and left Rome.
Their stories once became the favorite themes of bards.
Marcus did not expect Zhang Heng to refuse such a harmless thing, and it would cost him a lot of money. If it was someone else, his face would be gloomy now, but now the relationship between him and Zhang Heng is in the honeymoon period.
Marcus didn't want to make the friendly atmosphere disappear because of this, so he thought, "I can help you refuse some people you don't like, but there are some people, those high-ranking people, even I can't offend them, so I can't give you this commitment, but I can promise you from now on, until now on No one's going to disturb you until the show at the flavey amphitheater starts. "
"The flavy amphitheater?" Zhang Heng pretends not to know.
"Yes, that's right. I'll tell you the truth. The war between us and the Germanic people is over. Our new emperor is going to return from the battlefield. There will be a Grand Duel show to announce the beginning of his rule. It's not only us, but also some famous Gladiator schools in Rome. It's said that some other Gladiator schools don't have people How about the less powerful master? Are you sure? "
Marcus is looking forward to Zhang Heng. The reason why he is so patient and friendly is that the upcoming duel show will be a reshuffle between Gladiator schools.
The latter did not disappoint him and nodded, "of course, I will win for you."
"Good." Marcus was overjoyed.

Earlier, the old Persian trainer on the other side also quietly left the Gladiator school, and no one paid attention to him.
He came to a small market, passed through alleys hung with drying poles, and came to a wooden veranda where a man was selling spices, and his stall was filled with crocuses, peppers, cloves, peppermint and rosemary.
The old Persian trainer squatted down and carefully selected inside. However, at this time, a sharp blade hit his back.
"Are you as old as the rumor has it been that you have lost your basic judgment?" A voice said in his ear.
The old Persian trainer didn't look back and said, "maybe, but you don't seem as strong as the legend, otherwise you wouldn't have received the flower from the little girl at the previous intersection."
The visitor turned pale when he heard the words, "did you cheat on the flowers? No, you're just bluffing. "
"Otherwise, what do you think I'm doing here? I'm just making antidotes for you." Said the old Persian trainer.
"You lied to me, who would use spices as antidote?"
"No, I just know you don't like bad taste, so buy Spices to make it better for you." The old Persian trainer put the mint into a small bottle as he spoke.
After a moment of hesitation, the man behind him finally took the bottle and drank it down. At the same time, he took back the dagger.
"Why aren't you in the arena? Isn't he your favorite student?"
"Because I never watch a battle without suspense. You went to see his fighting performance. How about that? He's very good." The old Persian trainer clapped his hands and stood up from the ground.
"Assassins need more concealment and patience, find the right opportunity to kill, rather than the ability to fight head-on." "He is more suitable to be a soldier and fight on the battlefield. Besides, he has become famous. As long as Marcus is not blind, he will be trained as a trump card in the arena. When he gets used to the beautiful days, can he stand loneliness and be willing to become a nameless man like us?"
"You made the same mistake that I made when I first met him, that is to underestimate him. Believe me, people like him can't be bought by Marcus." The old trainer said, "as for the way of fighting, you don't have to worry about that. I'm teaching him the skills of assassins now.""Oh, I see." The visitor chuckled. "You say that Marcus can't buy him off, is it because you can't persuade him to believe in cleis and accept our ideas?"
"I'm trying. This kind of thing always needs a process." The old Persian trainer shrugged.
"Don't tell me that you forgot about 200 years ago. At that time, the organization got the oracle and should have killed Octavian, just like our people had assassinated Caesar. In the end, Octavian rebelled against one of us. The traitor and Octavian joined hands and almost destroyed the blade of balance. Many of our predecessors died because of this. This is the reason why our faith is not firm Man enters the end of the blade of balance. "
"You know, other members of the organization won't agree to let someone who doesn't have a strong belief join in," he said
"I feel sorry for what happened 200 years ago, but as I said, it always takes a process." Said the old Persian trainer.
"Process? I don't think you can get the support of other people except your old friend, faceless one. Besides, unlike the environment 200 years ago, we are now full of enemies. "
"Then don't make other people our enemies."
"Why can't you honestly follow the previous plan and ask habitus to help us?" The visitors were a little angry.
"Because habitus won't cooperate with us. I'm his trainer. I know him better than you. He is the one you call the most likely to betray us. We have no other choice to carry out the plan smoothly."
