Zhang Heng gathered his things here and took the slave girl to varo's house.
In the negotiation and trade between him and Marcus, in addition to one fifth of the profit of each performance, the freedom of the slave and varo was also added. Now that the slave is settled, varo's is left.
However, varo is not where he lives. Zhang Heng heard varo's roommate say that varo should be in the training ground, so he grabbed the little slave who was poking around in the back and said to her, "varo and I have something to talk about. You go out and wait for us first."
"Oh." Little slave obediently promised that she knew Zhang Heng didn't want her to listen, but now she would not feel sorry for herself. Instead, she remembered what someone had said to him before. Some things didn't let her listen for her safety, so she left happily.
After that, Zhang Heng came to the training ground alone.
Different from the pleasure when he promised to give the slave freedom, Marcus hesitated to let varo go. However, considering the huge benefits brought by Zhang Heng's monthly performance, he finally agreed.
And this is not Zhang Heng's accident.
Zhang Heng, who made varo a slave from an antique dealer, has been investigated by the gangsters before. He thinks varo can't live out of the Gladiator school any more, so he doesn't do it perfectly. As long as someone has the intention to check it, he can sort out the whole story.
However, after learning the truth, Zhang Heng was somewhat surprised.
Varo is sweating on the training ground. He doesn't even know that Zhang Heng has won the championship. Now there is only one thing in his eyes, that is training, training, constant training.
Varo knows that his talent is in the middle and lower reaches of the gladiators, which is not outstanding. Before that, he had to rely on Zhang Heng's secret help to cross the border repeatedly, but he can't rely on Zhang Heng for a lifetime. What's more, they are separated now. If he wants to leave here, he needs to pay more sweat and efforts than others to complete his revenge.
Zhang Heng didn't mean to disturb varo, so he stood aside and quietly watched varo training.
Until a quarter of an hour later, when varo's practice came to an end, he found Zhang Heng on the other side. He put away his wooden sword and walked this way. "Is the wrestling show over?"
"Well." Zhang Heng nodded.
"Who won the final championship?"
"The man standing in front of you now."
"I knew that," varo sincerely felt happy for Zhang Heng, "no one can beat you, my Oriental friend. Now Marcus will worry about what kind of reward he should give you. You have brought honor and fame to the victor arena."
"Actually Marcus and I are no longer masters and slaves
"What do you mean?" "Did he sell you? I don't think so. He's always looking for a successor to sisnatus
"No, I'm free now. After the performance, his Majesty gave me the training sword."
"Is that true?" Varo's face was full of surprise, "but you've only played a few games. Was there a new man who got free so quickly before?"
"Who knows, but I guess everything has a first time." Zhang Heng certainly won't tell varo his previous conjecture. He just said to the former antique dealer, "after freedom, Marcus and I have reached a new agreement. I will come back to help him play a game every month. In addition to the reward, he also agrees to let you be free."
"And you took me with you?" Varo smell speech a blush, he thought of two people just met, he also had euphemistic told Zhang Heng can't take him to business.
But Zhang Heng is a indifferent look, "you don't have to think about it. At that time, we were not familiar with it, and your reaction was normal. I want to remind you that your opponent may not only be your wife, but also your best friend. Do you know Peregrino?"
Varo frowned. "The name sounds a little familiar. Oh, I remember. He is the elder of the Senate. Before, his servants came to me with two antique vases and said that Peregrino wanted to sell these two precious trinkets for money."
"And then?"
"Then I went through a detailed inspection and told him that his master and his wife might have been cheated, because the two vases were not antiques at all, but his servant said that I was cheating him, and he framed me to say that I switched the vases during the identification, but he was at my side at that time." Varo said, "later, a few regular customers came forward to prove my credibility, and this matter was not settled. Later, I didn't take this matter too seriously. Why do you mention Peregrino, etc.? Do you mean that he has something to do with my being framed?"
"Actually, he is the one who dominates all this. As for your best friend and your wife, their relationship is really not It's been going on for a while. They're afraid of being discovered by you, but with their ability, they can't make such a plan. ""That's what I've always been strange about," said varo with a wry smile. "I said before that I didn't think my best friend would cheat me. Besides the friendship between us, and because I know his ability, you mean Peregrino wanted to deal with me and then bribed my best friend and wife, but why? Why did Peregrino do this to me? I'm just a small antique dealer, just because I didn't take his two fake vases? "
"I'm afraid the bigger reason is that your family's accumulated property makes him envious."
"Well?"
"I asked people to help investigate Peregrino. This is not the first time that this old guy has done this kind of thing. Many people have been watched by him. They either accept his blackmail honestly, but many people who are not obedient end up like you." Zhang Hengdao.
"So am I being watched by an elder?" After all, the full name of the Roman Empire is the Senate and the Roman people. The elders in the Senate are huge things for ordinary people. He thought his enemies were just his friends and wife, but he didn't expect to be a superior elder. However, after the change, his heart was full of sadness He really became a lot stronger, and his look soon returned to normal. He said to Zhang Heng, "I have a request."
"Well?"
"I don't want to be free again."
"Oh, why? Haven't you been fighting for freedom?"
Varo clenched his fist, "that's when I didn't know who my opponent was. Since the backstage is Peregrino, he must have said hello to Marcus. That's why Marcus ignored me when I introduced myself before. If I leave Gladiator school, maybe it won't be long before this matter will spread to Peregrino Go there, no, maybe Marcus will tell Peregrino directly that he doesn't want to offend Peregrino. Yes, I want to be free and dream of breathing the outside air again, but now is not the time. I won't leave here until I become stronger and find a way to deal with Peregrino. "
Zhang Heng heard some surprised raised eyebrows, "it seems that this period of time you do grow a lot of ah, yes, this is really your best choice now."
"You've helped me a lot since we met," said varo sincerely, looking into Zhang Heng's eyes. "I don't know how to repay your kindness, but in the final analysis, it's my business, so next, I hope I can solve it myself, and I'll find a way."
