The summer night breeze gently blew across Zhang Ce's face, standing in the alley with dense eaves and arcades, looking at the crowds coming and going on the aristocratic avenue not far away, Zhang Ce felt that the whole world was vivid. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The life of a slave gladiator was not like that of a commoner, most of the time, Zhang Ce could only be locked up in the underground prison of a noble mansion or the cell of a gladiator school, and rarely had the opportunity to go out, so although he had been in this ancient Roman world for half a year, Zhang Ce rarely had the opportunity to feel the prosperity and grandeur of this thousand-year-old city.

However, the city of Rome is not as luxurious as Zhang Ce imagined, more often, the whole city of Rome is like a big pigsty, chaotic, dense streets and alleys like spider webs, civilian areas where people and animals live, muddy alleys, streets and alleys, and all kinds of storefronts occupy the already narrow roads.

The walls outside the dilapidated apartments are covered with vulgar graffiti, and the noisy crowds run rampant in the chaotic streets, filled with small traders and vendors, and sometimes even prostitutes and bustards can be seen arguing in the alleys over prices.

Zhang Ce wandered around the Roman aristocratic mansion, lowered his cloak to prevent anyone from seeing him, and from evening until dark, the crowd and noisy crowd gradually subsided, and each returned to his home to cook dinner for the evening.

Dense houses and apartments are lined up, and most of them are brick and wood structures, once the fire will soon spread into a large chain of fires, seeing such a scene, it is not difficult for Zhang Ce to understand the way of Crassus's profiteer's fortune, it is said that this goods saw such a chaotic scene in the city of Rome, and established the only professional fire brigade in Rome at that time, where there is a fire, it will rush to where, but extinguishing the fire is not obligatory, but to charge.

And this big profiteer will deliberately delay when the fire spreads, so that the civilians can sell their houses to him at the cheapest price, and then he will rent it out at a high price after extinguishing the fire.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ce couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness for Rome in this era, Octavian was right when he said - I accepted a Roman city made of bricks, but gave the world a marble Roman city. If it is said that in terms of contribution to Rome, Zhang Ce even feels that Octavian's contribution exceeds that of Caesar, however, Octavian should still be an eleven or twelve-year-old child now.

The two assassins followed Zhang Ce, and they didn't know what this champion gladiator was thinking, but they kept following Zhang Ce around the mansion in Aulus, thinking that this thing wanted to study the surrounding environment more and then know how to escape......

In the end, Zhang Ce chose to stop at the corner of an alley, because this was the closest to the main entrance of the mansion of Aulus, and if Batinius was right, wait a minute, the great nobleman would come out of this exit to attend a private dinner.

In fact, this is a conspiracy in itself, no matter whether he succeeds in the next step or not, Zhang Ce knows that he has actually been used by these aristocratic patriarchs for a long time, and there is no good end waiting for him, Batinius will not be really so kind, and he will give you freedom after doing things for him, Aulus may not be so easy to deal with, it is impossible for a prominent nobleman to have no guards around him, and the assassination mission itself may be acting, but Zhang Ce does not have the freedom to choose.

The door of the mansion was slowly opened, and the nobleman in a luxurious evening robe walked out of it, and two guards followed him, and then the man who looked a little bloated was with his wife, who seemed to be ...... Hug goodbye.

"Up."

Under the cover of night, Zhang Ce gestured to the two companions behind him and followed.

The assassination mission could not be carried out in front of Aulus's house, as the guards were inside the mansion, and if they were attacked, they would soon attract a large number of guards, but they should not be delayed for too long, because the further Aulus walked towards the place where the dinner was held, the more crowds there would be, and the guards would be more closely guarded.

So, first track, then find a street with no people, and then quickly solve it.

The two assassins followed Zhang Ce and lowered his cloak and walked up as if nothing had happened, at this time, there were still not a few pedestrians on Fez's avenue, and Zhang Ce's actions did not attract much attention from the guards. At most, he took one more look, and then followed the hostess into the mansion, and the moment the door was closed, the assassination officially began.

Under the dim light, the figure of the great nobleman was stretched for a long time, and the two guards on the side followed Aulus in full armor.

Three young men in thick cloaks approached the wretched nobleman silently in the night.

"Stop!"

The guards turned back with their instinctive reactions, but it was too late, the two assassins raised their knives and fell, the dagger was still in his hand one second, and the next second it was already in the throat of the guard. One hand tightly covered the assassin's mouth, and the two guards lost their last breath in the fierce struggle.

When the poor nobleman saw the bloody scene, he crawled backwards, and cried out in panic - "What do you want? I'll give it all to you, money, right? I have. Just go back with me and get it. ”

Maybe the nobles were so greedy for life and afraid of death before they died? Zhang Ce also wanted to let go of this fat and greasy nobleman, but he was helpless now that he was a slave and had to carry out the master's orders, otherwise after he went back, he would be a dead end, and there was nowhere to escape, with the symbol of a slave engraved on his body, every guard in Rome could quickly find himself.

"I'm sorry, Lord Aulus."

Zhang Ce walked over and grabbed the collar of the aristocratic rich man who fell to the ground, the snowy dagger reflecting the cold light in the moonlight. The sudden, bloody footage caused several pedestrians on foot to scream and dodge.

"I'm not Aulus, you're looking for the wrong person."

No?

For a while, all the previous doubts and speculations were confirmed......

Zhang Ce reluctantly put down the trembling unlucky ghost in his hand, and the next moment, dozens of heavily armed Roman guards poured out from the alleys on both sides of the street.

"It's a conspiracy!"

The two assassins who had followed Zhang Ce on an assassination mission shouted.

However, there is no longer a chance for anyone to quibble.

Looking at the gorgeous palace with red light flashing on the hill not far away, Zhang Ce couldn't help but sigh, those nobles and elders who are enjoying luxury in their palaces and mansions today, how many innocent corpses can they step on today. Behind the extreme desire for luxury, how many people will be supported and sacrificed for them?

Zhang Ce did not kill the fat middle-aged nobleman, but let him go, and let the guards rush up and surround him, and the two companions wanted to jump over the wall in a hurry, but Zhang Ce had already given up resistance. Dozens of Roman guards were armed with javelins and short swords, and as long as these "murderers" wanted to escape, dozens of spears and javelins would be thrown, and when the time came, even if you were possessed by Achilles, you would be doomed.

Zhang Ce dropped his weapon, and the leader of the Roman City Patrol Guard, with a sly smile, took out the bracelet that had been prepared long ago......
