Chapter 164: Just a Bit Like?

In all fairness, the gladiatorial performance on the first day was quite exciting, and the gladiators who participated in this gladiatorial performance were all very good, and they were also quite famous in their respective gladiator schools or local areas, and they all showed their own housekeeping skills when they fought each other, which was quite pleasing to the eye from the perspective of viewing alone.

Of course, this was all before Zhang Heng appeared.

Zhang Heng successfully raised the audience's viewing experience to another level with two performances, so those who appeared after him were unlucky, no matter how hard they fought, even at the expense of exchanging injuries for injuries, and spilling blood, they could not get the cheers and screams they deserved, because the vast majority of the audience were still intoxicated by the previous bullfighting performance.

When they turned their attention back, they found that the battles didn't seem to be as exciting as before.

However, they have already let Zhang Heng return once, and at this time, they are embarrassed to let Zhang Heng fight three times a day, so they can only start to frantically inquire about more things related to this mysterious oriental gladiator after the performance.

So on this day, the streets and alleys of Rome were talking about a name, so that the other gladiators who came out together were ignored, but unfortunately this is not the Internet era of later generations, otherwise Zhang Heng would have become popular throughout the Roman Empire with only these two explosive performances today.

In addition, after the first day of performance, Zhang Heng also ushered in an unexpected guest.

- Commodus.

In Zhang Heng's original plan, the young emperor should come to visit him after the performance was completely over two days, but he didn't expect Commodus to be in a mood for a long time after watching the enthusiastic bullfighting performance, so he ran to the gladiator school in Makruz that night.

Commodus belonged to the micro-service private interview, changed into an ordinary person's outfit, and only brought four guards with him, and when he showed up, he almost scared Makruz half to death.

The owner of the gladiator school hurriedly asked people to prepare refreshments, but Commodus refused.

The young emperor rubbed his hands excitedly, "I'm here to find Zhang Heng, is he there?" ”

"Of course, I'll send someone to call him to you, Your Majesty." Mark Ruz said respectfully.

"No, no, no, I'm a guest, I should go to him, you can just send someone to lead me to his residence, I want to talk to him alone."

"This ......" Makruz suddenly sighed in his heart when he heard this, what he was most afraid of had happened, Zhang Heng had already taken the Commodus line, so he would not be able to control Zhang Heng from now on.

In fact, the reason why Makrus is still in the gladiator school and has not returned home is also to see Zhang Heng, wanting to take advantage of the fact that the latter has not yet won the championship to attract the full attention of His Majesty the Emperor, and find a way to bring him back under control.

Makrus doesn't ask for anything now, he has always regarded Zhang Heng as a cash cow, three years, as long as Zhang Heng is willing to sincerely serve him for three years, he is willing to return his freedom to this Oriental after three years, no way, although it hurts, but Makruz still has to admit after repeated considerations, this may be the best solution for him at this stage.

And Zhang Heng's side is not afraid that the former will not agree, because no matter what, in legal terms, he is Zhang Heng's master, controlling Zhang Heng's life and death, even Commodus can't change this, if he has to die in the end, he insists on killing Zhang Heng, and if he sues Giulia Basilica for this matter, he will also sentence him to win.

But de jure so, it doesn't mean that Markrus really dares to offend Commodus for this, the emperor of the Roman Empire, the two sides are not a heavyweight existence at all, don't look at what Markrus said in the gladiator school, but in front of the real magnate, he is not qualified to speak at all, if Commodus does not come tonight, Makruz can still pretend to be confused, but now Commodus personally came to visit Zhang Heng, no matter what the reason, the meaning of this is very different.

Makrus also lost the last chance to threaten Zhang Heng, of course, these thoughts only flashed in his head, and Makrus did not dare to refuse Commodus's request, and hurriedly found someone to take the young emperor to see Zhang Heng.

When Commodus came to Zhang Heng's house, he happened to meet Zhang Heng's little slave girl who came out to collect clothes, and Commodus and his guards did not wear any formal clothes that could show their identity, so Zhang Heng's little slave girl thought that they were fanatical "fans" who sneaked in from somewhere to see the gladiators they admired.

This kind of thing has not happened before, gladiators, as the hottest idols of this era, will inevitably encounter all kinds of harassment, and the little slave girl is of course not qualified to watch today's gladiatorial performances, but Zhang Heng's amazing performance she has heard of, and while she is proud, she also feels more and more the burden on her shoulders.

The period of living with Zhang Heng is also her happiest time, she was born in Rome, the original family is not rich but can also be said to be poor, but the good times did not last long, her father committed a crime not long after she was born, not only did he die, but he also became a slave with his wife and daughter.

However, she didn't feel how miserable her life experience was, probably because she was too young at that time to feel the pain caused by the great changes, and she had been a slave since she was sensible, so she accepted this very easily, and she also knew what her fate would be in the future, so when she was assigned to serve Zhang Heng, she had already made all kinds of consciousness.

But I didn't expect the new owner to be a very special person.

Although people usually look a little colder, and they don't usually like to talk much when they get home, they will ask her if they are cold when she sleeps on the ground, and recently she has time to help her build a low bed, the little slave girl is simply flattered, and her heart is sweet for several days, and it also makes her more determined to take care of someone's daily life.

So she stopped on the chest of Commodus and the others very firmly at this time, and said fiercely, "Stop, stop, who are you and where are you from, don't you know that outsiders can't come in here?" ”

"Who are we?" Commodus raised his eyebrows, feeling a little amused, and took a Sesterce from his bosom and threw it to the little slave girl.

"Bribes are useless." However, when the little slave girl saw this, she stood tall and said, looking unmoved by money.

"It's not a bribe, look at that coin, it's a pattern, and then if nothing else, the new coin will be minted according to this pattern."

"Huh?" The little slave girl looked down at the copper coin in her hand, a little puzzled, "Why is the person on this side a little like you?" ”

"Just a little bit like that?" Commodus frowned, "Looks like we'll have to get a few more editions to compare." ”
