"Wow, is this our new home?" The little slave girl rushed into the new house in high spirits.

"No, it's my new home, you're just staying temporarily." Zhang Hengdao

"Hmph, stingy."

“…………”

The Domus that Commodus gave to Zhang Heng was not in the area where Decius's family lived, but it was also a well-known and wealthy area in the city of Rome, and as Commodus said, it was closer to the palace, making it easier for Zhang Heng to travel between the palace and his residence.

Probably because Zhang Heng only has one person to live in, Commodus did not give Zhang Heng a house with a large area, but even so, the area of the new house is almost as large as Domus of Makrus, especially the front hall, which is very wide, with excellent lighting, and a narrow rain-bearing pool, and at the same time, the furniture inside is also very neat, Commodus also sent Zhang Heng two additional servants to help him take care of the house.

The little slave girl was immersed in the joy of changing the house, running all over the courtyard, groping around, while Zhang Heng asked the two servants to drag the luggage into the house, and then turned around and walked into the study, took out two bottles of wine from the cabinet, and poured herself a glass.

After solving the troubles in the mine, he was quite relaxed during this time, with Daikius there, he didn't need to go to the site every day to keep an eye on the progress of the project, except for the fixed gladiatorial performances every month, and he occasionally returned to Dongcheng to deal with some soap and problems that Marcus couldn't solve, so the main time of the day was used by him to digest the assassin skills taught to him by the old Persian trainer.

Now that his assassin skills have been upgraded to lv2, this also means that he has almost stepped into the threshold of a first-class assassin, coupled with the [Heart of Kleis], which can be called an assassin's god costume, Zhang Heng's real strength in assassination is actually close to that of a top assassin, but when he digests what the old Persian trainer taught him, if he wants to improve his ability in this area, he needs to accumulate assassination experience like other assassins and continue to polish his skills.

But beyond that, there is a shortcut.

That is the Assassin Library of the Balanced Blade, which stores all kinds of Assassin books since the establishment of the Balanced Blade, if he can stay in it for a while, Zhang Heng estimates that he should have a lot of improvement, and he has reached an agreement with the priestess, and after killing Otheros, he can enter the library.

This is also Zhang Heng's main goal in recent times.

On the other hand, being close to Commodus meant that he had access to the Praetorian Guard, and could begin investigating who had hired a murderer to assassinate him.

This is actually a problem that Zhang Heng is very concerned about, the unknown enemy is the most dangerous, he is too fast, it is normal for some people to be jealous, and he has offended some people along the way, but if you really want to count it, except for the bosses of several small forces who were annexed by him before, they have not risen to the level of assassinating him.

However, it is difficult for this kind of person to have access to the Praetorian Guard, so this is equivalent to saying that there is no suspicion on his list now.

From the point of view of motivation, Zhang Heng couldn't find a reason why someone wanted to kill him, but Zhang Heng also knew that sometimes killing people does not necessarily need to be based on sufficient reasons, like some serial killers with pathological psychology, and some impulsive murders, but this is more troublesome to investigate.

The only clue Zhang Heng has now is the portrait, and it seems that he will also meet the Praetorian Guards next.

…………

Zhang Heng didn't expect that the first guest after moving to his new house was Lucyla.

From the first time the two met, Zhang Heng didn't want to get too close to this woman who attempted to kill her brother, although according to historical records, it would take two years for her to assassinate her brother, and Zhang Heng was no longer in this copy at that time, but this woman has always had a crazy energy, and she doesn't like to play cards according to common sense, and Zhang Heng can't figure out what she will do next, so she doesn't want to get too close to her.

If it was someone else, Zhang Heng might have issued a warning, but Lucilla has a superior status, even her husband needs to be respectful to her, except for Commodus, no one in the empire can suppress her, so although sometimes she will do something more out of line, but most people just turn a blind eye to her, and Zhang Heng can't refuse her on the surface.

Therefore, as a return gift for receiving the necklace, Zhang Heng later sent her and Queen Christina tickets for the gladiatorial performance as promised, and Christina declined the invitation, which was not unexpected by Zhang Heng, because Christina grew up in a big family since she was a child, paid special attention to her manners and cultivation, and now married Commodus and became the queen, so she naturally hopes to show the queen's demeanor, and she can't just play crazy with herself.

But Lucyla, Lucilla was very interested in Zhang Heng's gladiatorial performance before, and also accepted the tickets, but her box seat was empty that day, which made Makrus, who had prepared a welcome speech, a little embarrassed.

After this incident, Zhang Heng originally thought that Lucyla's enthusiasm for him had subsided, but he didn't expect this woman to suddenly appear in front of him after disappearing for two months.

Lucyla didn't let anyone announce when she came, so she walked in directly, so she also encountered the same obstacle as her brother at the beginning, and was stopped in the front hall by the little slave girl who had not yet passed the excitement.

However, Lucyla was not so good at talking, and directly glanced at the guard behind her, and the tall knight with a solemn face walked over to the little slave girl.

The little slave girl suddenly became nervous, the difference in height and size between the two sides was too big, in her eyes, Lucyla's guard was like a hill, but this was her home, and she, as half the master, couldn't retreat at this time.

The little slave girl thought so, but she didn't expect her body to retreat.

Her collar was lifted, and Zhang Heng, who came out of the study, carried her directly behind him, and then nodded at Lucyla, "Augusta." ”

"Just call me Lucyla." Lucyla smiled at Zhang Heng and waved back to her guards, as if she hadn't done anything before.

Of course, Zhang Heng didn't expect the other party to admit his mistake, so he let the aggrieved little slave girl go up to the second floor first, and then said, "I don't know what Augusta is looking for me?" ”

"Call me Lucyla, I don't want to repeat it a third time." Lucyla's smile did not decrease, "You men are really ruthless animals, I haven't seen you for so long, you don't say that you think about me, forget it, and even ask me why I came to you." ”

"............" Zhang Heng didn't know how to take this well, so he could only choose to be silent.
