When he was in the southeast city, the microphone tried Zhang Heng with the doctrine of the blade of balance, and later 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 it was probably not an accident that Kang maode named the assassin he and Clint had caught together to interrogate, in order to let him, an "insider", reveal the existence of the blade of balance.
It also means that the assassination at the bridge in the afternoon was not caused by the blade of balance, but a duet sung by otrus in collaboration with Commaud.
At the end of the day, otrus never thought of putting out a stand in for him. He just used it as a consumable and successfully blamed the assassination on the blade of balance. In this way, he could use the power of the national machine to encircle the blade of balance.
And the fact is more wonderful than Zhang Heng's guess.
When he and Clint reported the information from the female assassin to Commaud, his majesty immediately issued a wanted notice to all the members of the blade of balance. In order to avenge his most trusted adviser, Commaud even took 100000 gold coins from his private vault as a reward.
The Senate also expressed concern about this matter. A group of nobles headed by Dior immediately mourned the assassination of otrus. Because it was against the rules to use the funds from the national treasury to pursue the assassin, they even donated 200000 gold coins to join the reward. However, in private, many people were very happy with the misfortune.
Because otrus was a member of Commaud, and he was always regarded as Commaud's right arm with clinde. Now that otrus died, Commaud lost a hand, so the young emperor had to rely more on the Senate in the future.
This situation is no doubt that Dior led a group of great nobles would like to see, but their happiness only lasted for less than half a day, and then they were silly, because they found that they seemed to underestimate the young emperor.
By virtue of the death of otrus, Commodus began to purge the senior generals of the guard.
In addition to sebutur, a military civilian protection officer, who had been foolishly rescued for his meritorious service, the other officers who came from the noble family were either transferred or dismissed. Instead, a group of officers who had been fighting with Commaud and the Germanic tribes had one thing in common, no matter what their origins were, that is, they were loyal to Commaud.
In the end, except for the supreme commander of the guard, Commaud, who did not move for the time being, all the other middle and high-level generals were replaced, which means that Commaud has completely mastered the strongest armed forces in Rome.
When the Senate reacted, everything was settled, Dior and others could only look at each other.
However, Zhang Heng has not much time to care about these political turmoil. Five days after the assassination of otrus, the blade of balance still has not contacted him.
In the past five days, he was still calm around him, and just this morning, kangmaode summoned him. Because he performed well in the assassination by the bridge in front of him and killed three assassins, kangmaode decided to give him a large piece of land again. So far, Zhang Heng's territory area has even surpassed many aristocratic families who have operated for several generations.
The only drawback is that he is a little far away from Rome. If there is a war in the future, he will easily become the front line. However, even so, many people admire him. After all, even if he is a consultant, he will be very poor.
Now people with a clear eye can see that, if there is no accident, Clyde will take over the vacant position of otrus and become the chief consultant of Commaud, while Zhang Heng will become the next Clyde. Of course, the premise is that he should be able to find a way to repair the small contradiction between Clyde and Clyde caused by the admonishment.
Klinder is waiting for Zhang Heng to bow his head now. Although he still thinks Zhang Heng is a threat, it doesn't prevent him from enjoying the victory at this stage first. However, what makes him embarrassed is that Zhang Heng didn't come to him in the next few days, and the latter didn't know what he was busy with and was often away from home all day.
But tonight, Zhang Heng is rare to go home for the night, he reached out to open the door, into the lobby, but then Zhang Heng stopped.
The little slave had been sent away by him almost a month ago. Now in this duomusili, there are only two servants that Zhang Heng and Kang maode give along with the house. They have not lived for a long time with Zhang Heng and have no noticeable characteristics, but they have done a good job.
In the past, when Zhang Heng came home, a person would come out to meet him, but now the whole domusri was quiet and there was no sound until Zhang Heng stood in the front hall, and the water wave in the rain pool was reflected on the wall by the moonlight and swayed slightly.
And Zhang Heng's ears also caught the sound of some sharp tool cutting through the air.
Zhang Heng almost just moved his front foot and hit the place where he stood before with an arrow from his back foot. Without looking up, Zhang Heng knew that the archer was hiding on the second floor, and it was probably the assassin who shot "otrus" by the bridge before.
Zhang Heng was also impressed by his opponent's previous arrow technique, so Zhang Heng didn't think much about it, so he flashed behind a marble column beside him. However, when he was about to approach the marble column, he suddenly stopped again without warning.At the same time, a machete was stretched out behind the column and cut into his face. If Zhang Heng didn't keep his pace just now, he would have been cut into two sections by the machete.
But now Zhang Heng's crisis is not over. Although he escaped the 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. Obviously, the other side would not miss such a good opportunity. And the fact is exactly what he thought. Just as he turned from dynamic to static, the archer on the second floor caught this fleeting opportunity, The bowstring was released.
Therefore, Zhang Heng now not only has to face the machete in front of him, but also has to deal with the second arrow coming at him.
Zhang Heng did not hesitate to make a choice, because the machete had cut to his chest, he had to deal with the immediate crisis, so Zhang Heng waved his Persian dagger, while the other hand also quickly pressed on the handle of another Persian dagger.
Almost at the same time when Zhang Heng blocked the machete, the deadly arrow also flew in front of him. Zhang Heng had to use the skill of drawing the sword to pull out another Persian sword before the last moment. Later, he used the method of solving the bow and arrow gladiator in the Flavi circular theater to knock the feather arrow that shot at him.
What is certain is that the two assassins in front of them have never seen Zhang Heng's performance, so when they witnessed the scene, their faces inevitably appeared a trance.
Because it doesn't look like a human action.
