Although Lucilla was persuaded by Zhang Heng to give up the idea of suicide, she was still full of anxiety. Especially the next morning, she saw that Zhang Heng's wanted notice was posted all over the city. In this case, it was even more difficult to get close to the target.
As time goes on, Zhang Heng's situation will only become more and more dangerous.
Since that night, they have lost contact. Lucilla doesn't know if Zhang Heng is still alive. If he is still alive, how long can he hide? She knows that Zhang Heng has his own power in the southeast city. However, the reward on the wanted notice is enough to turn anyone into a traitor. What's more, those guys in the southeast city don't have any sense of honor. As long as they have enough money, they will be poor Min can even sell his father, and now Zhang Heng has lost his position around Kang maode. In other words, now is the time when his control is the weakest.
Lucilla doesn't know how Zhang Heng should restrain her subordinates so that she won't be betrayed.
In fact, Lucilla thinks it is more likely that Zhang Heng has escaped from Rome, because only in this way can he explain why he neither came to see himself nor was caught.
Lucilla's heart sank at the thought.
And at this time, a hand around her body, Pompeii Yanus's voice came from behind her, as always gentle, "why, are you sick?"
Lucilla took her eyes back from the street downstairs, barely showing a smile, "nothing, I just think, in a few days it will be the God of agriculture day."
"Oh, yes, God of agriculture day." Pompeii Yanus nodded. "It's said that there will be a grand celebration in tulazhen square that day. Maybe we can go there and have some fun then."
"Yes, that's right." Lucilla is absent-minded in dealing with her husband.
"But now, honey, we're going to the victor arena to see the show." Pompeii Yanus picked up the necklace on the table, put it on for Lucilla, and then straightened her hair. "It's a pity that your favorite Oriental can no longer perform in the victor arena, but fortunately we still have the giant tirofilox to watch, but we have to hurry up, otherwise we won't be able to catch up with the performance."
"I'll be fine soon. Why don't you wait for me downstairs first."
"Good." Pompeii Yanus smiles and kisses Lucilla on the forehead before opening the door.
However, as soon as he took a step, the whole person settled there, and then slowly returned to the room. When Lucilla heard the footsteps behind her, she frowned, and then turned back, "why, have you forgotten something?"
The next moment, however, she saw a servant dressed guy holding a dagger against Pompeii Yanus' chest. A chill suddenly rose in Lucilla's heart. She obviously didn't expect the hound assassin to come so quickly. She said, "there's something coming at me. It has nothing to do with him. He doesn't know anything."
"No, I'm afraid it has a lot to do with him." The assassin dressed as a servant opened his mouth. It was Zhang Heng's voice.
"Are you still in Rome?" Lucilla was stunned.
"Yes, we haven't fulfilled our agreement yet. Of course, I won't leave," Zhang Heng said. "I've helped you kill otrus, but the leader of the Hound is always in the military camp. It's not easy to start. And after I kill otrus, he will strengthen his guard, but fortunately I know a great opportunity to perfect It's time he got home from the barracks to avoid all his men and guards. "
"Wait, are you talking about my husband, the head of the hound?" Lucilla's face was unbelievable. "How can it be? It's just a lie you made up to get into the library, isn't it?"
"Unfortunately not. To be honest, I have never doubted him before, because he has almost perfect disguise, Aurelius' confidant, your husband, the number one military figure, and he has always been known for his gentle personality. At the same time, he hardly participates in any factional struggle. Normally, no one will associate him with the leader of the hound, and I will not."
Zhang Heng hesitated, then said, "but a few months ago, when I was still in the southeast city, I was once assassinated. At that time, I was more inclined to think that the assassin was sent by Clyde, because he had always been jealous of Commaud's favor for me. But only a few days ago, when I met the assassin, a centurion named herto, did I know that he had been in you My husband has been working under him for a long time, and he seems a little flustered when someone mentions his relationship with your husband, which makes me notice that your husband may not be as simple as he seems.
"But until then, I still didn't think he would be the leader of the hound. First, the person who assassinated me didn't come from the hound. Second, the timing of the assassination. At that time, my identity had not been revealed. No matter who hired the assassin, it was obvious that I didn't kill me because I was an alternate member of the blade of balance. In fact, I haven't answered this question until now "The case." Zhang Heng said while looking at Pompeii Yanus in front of him.
However, the latter just listened quietly and didn't say anything.So Zhang Heng continued, "but this thing let me know that the man behind herto is your husband. As I said before, up to this time, with three coins, I still only know the identity of you and otrus, but I don't know who the leader of the Hound is. So at that time, I didn't plan to stay in Rome any longer.
"I have a friend named varo. It's me Well, I met him in Gladiator school. Before he became a slave, he was an antique dealer. But later, his wife and his best friend cheated him out of his property. After that, I hired someone to do an investigation for him and found that this was not a simple matter. His wife and friends were just helping others. The mastermind behind the whole thing was Peregrine The elder of Norton, and this is not the first time he has done such a thing
"What do you want to say?" Lucilla doesn't know why Zhang Heng suddenly talks about a civilian.
And Zhang Heng said, "don't worry, just listen to me. After the assassination of false otrus, the blade of balance didn't contact me all the time. I knew that your situation was not very good. After another two days, I was ready to run away. At that time, I thought that I was going to run anyway, so I might as well solve my friend's trouble. After all, I met varo in Gladiator school I'm happy to be with you, so I'll take it as the last help. "
