Chapter 885

The two assassins who were caught had a harder tongue than many people thought.

The guards of the dungeon failed to make them speak in various ways, but this did not affect clind's good mood. Now he and Zhang Heng are sitting in the guard room, eating the newly baked suckling pig while listening to the scream from the torture room at the end of the corridor.

"It's interesting," clind put down his knife and fork. "I don't think that it would have occurred to otrus that when he died, I would be helping him find out who killed him."

Klinder thought Zhang Heng would not speak, because the latter had never said anything since he came to the dungeon with him. He sat there with his eyes closed and didn't know what he was thinking.

Klinder thinks that Zhang Heng is flustered because of the death of otrus. After all, in the previous admonishment event, Zhang Heng did not choose to be with him. It's easy for klinder to suspect that he has secretly fallen to otrus. As a result, Zhang Heng's new thigh only appeared and died in less than half a day.

Therefore, klinder felt that he could understand the grief in Zhang Heng's heart at the moment, but what he didn't expect was that Zhang Heng opened his eyes this time and asked, "when did you and otrus know each other?"

"Well, about four years ago," clind said happily, "now he's in a good mood. He doesn't mind answering questions. In fact, he just needs someone to help him recall the most difficult opponent he's ever met in his life." at that time, I just came to work with your Majesty, and we were still fighting with those damned Germanic tribes on the Rhine River. Your majesty mentioned to me a name called O'Neill The people of Trows say that he has a good brain and is loyal enough, but I have never seen him

"Was ostrus by your Majesty's side while you were fighting the germanes?"

"No, to be exact, otrus did not stay in the military camp like us, but stayed in Rome to take care of his Majesty's affairs here. We had a clear division of labor between the two of us, but he would also put forward some of his views and suggestions on the war on the front line from time to time. He seemed to understand people's minds, especially the ideas of the civilians in Rome, that is, he told his majesty about the people's feelings for these years He was tired from one long war after another, which confirmed Commaud's idea of ending all this

Klindre paused, and then said, "it seems that otrus has his specialty, eh As a channel for collecting intelligence, he knows what the common people think, which is not difficult for me to understand, because you can pay people to go around the city and ask what the people living at the bottom are thinking, but he is also very clear about what the nobles are thinking, which makes me a little difficult to understand, especially some very secret secrets. It is estimated that no other person in the whole Roman city will know except the parties Secret, this guy's body seems to have some witchcraft that can get into your head, which is one of the reasons why I don't like him very much. "

Seeing that Zhang Heng had been listening carefully, and now he had nothing to do but eat pork and chat, clinde went on, "but your majesty trusted him very much. To be honest, I haven't seen your majesty trust a person so much. Your majesty and I have been getting along well all the time, but I know your majesty will never trust me as much as he trusted otrus, I admit I'm a little envious of that guy, but it's not like the clever otrus didn't make a mistake.

"About three years ago, in order to marry queen crispina, your majesty once briefly returned to Rome. Ostrus arranged for them to take a boat tour of the Tiber River. You know, the main thing was to give them some space to get along with each other. Your majesty didn't take a guard. They were both travelling in casual clothes, but unexpectedly, they met a group of boatmen at the wharf to ask for wages and blocked the river, It was very noisy. Fortunately, in the end, there was nothing wrong with his majesty and the queen. But when he came back, his Majesty was also dissatisfied with otrus, because he didn't get any news in advance about such a big thing. "

Klinder sighed, "that's one of the few times that otrus will be shriveled. After fighting with him for so many years, I basically didn't get any advantage. Moreover, this time, he saw that he was going to beat me. Unexpectedly, he died in the hands of a group of assassins. This is really ironic. Almost omniscient otrus died of a sudden shot Under the sharp arrow. "

Clind finished and forked a piece of pork. "To our old friend! Although I always regard him as my opponent, I will think that maybe one day we can sit down and have a meal together, but now this kind of thing will never happen

At this time, a jailer covered with blood came over and said respectfully to klind and Zhang Heng, "two adults, one of the prisoners has decided to speak, but he said that he would tell you personally."

Clind turned his lips and looked at the sunlight from the outside stairs. "Is it daylight? Sure enough, time flies when we recall the past. OK, let's listen to what he wants to say

…………

It was the younger assassin who decided to open her mouth. She was still a woman, but after many rounds of torture, her body was in a bad state and she could hardly see any physiological characteristics.

Clind only looked at it and then looked away to avoid spitting out the roast pork he had just eaten. However, he still said gently, "we don't want to embarrass you too much. After all, you are just tools. Tell us who is the messenger behind the scenes, and I'll find a doctor for you."However, the female assassin smelled the speech and laughed miserably, "I know that my injury is impossible to survive, isn't it?"

"Well, at least I can make your death more comfortable." Clind shrugged.

The female assassin nodded, "then put your head together and I'll tell you who the Lord's messenger is."

Klinder turned his eyes to the jailer who tortured the female assassin before. The jailer nodded, indicating that the female assassin had no ability to hurt people.

So Clint put his face up to him and said, "well, I've done what you said."

After that, however, it was the bloody saliva of the female assassin who welcomed him, "don't dream, you can destroy my body, but cleis will take my soul, because balance is hidden in all things, everywhere."

"Damned woman!" Clind was spat in the face, very angry, but he has lost the object of revenge, because after that, the female assassin used her last strength and died with her eyes open.

"Didn't I tell you to keep alive?" Clind could only vent his anger on a jailer in charge of torture. "Do you know how angry your majesty is when advisor otrus is assassinated? If you can't find the emissary behind this, you can't stay here any longer. Go to the Rhine border post and keep company with those stinking Germanic people

As he spoke, klinder took out his handkerchief and wiped the saliva and blood off his face. Then he asked Zhang Heng, "what did she say in the end? Kleiss, there's balance, hiding in all things, you know what that is? "

Klinder asked casually. He didn't have much hope, but he didn't expect Zhang Heng to say so later.

"Well, you know something."
