In all fairness, the first day of the gladiatorial performance was quite exciting. The gladiators who participated in this gladiatorial performance were all very good, and they were well-known in their respective gladiator schools or in the local area. It's a masterful skill, but it's quite pleasing from the viewing point of view.
Of course, this was all before Zhang Heng came on stage.
Zhang Heng successfully raised the audience's viewing experience to another level with two performances, so the people who appeared after him were unlucky. The cheers and screams that should have been received, because most of the audience is still intoxicated by the previous bullfight performance.
When they turned their attention back, they found that those battles seemed not as exciting as before.
But they have already let Zhang Heng return to the arena once, and now they are embarrassed to let Zhang Heng fight three times in a day, so they can only start to frantically inquire about more things related to this mysterious oriental gladiator after the performance Come.
So on this day, the streets and alleys of Rome were talking about a name everywhere, so that the other gladiators who came out together were ignored. Unfortunately, this is not the Internet era of later generations, otherwise Zhang Heng can only rely on these two explosive matches today. The performance can be popular throughout the Roman Empire.
In addition, Zhang Heng welcomed an unexpected guest after the performance on the first day.
— Commodus.
According to Zhang Heng's original plan, the young emperor should visit him two days later after the performance was completely over, but he did not expect that Kang Maode could not calm down for a long time after watching the passionate bullfighting performance, so that night He ran to Marcruz's gladiator school again.
Commodus was a private visit in a micro-service. He changed into an ordinary person's attire, and only brought four guards behind him. When he showed up, he almost scared Marcruz to death.
The master of the gladiator school hurriedly asked someone 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 see you, Your Majesty." Marcruz 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..." Marcruz's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words. The thing he was most afraid of happened. Zhang Heng has already got on the line of Commodus. If this is the case, he will not be able to control Zhang from now on. constant.
In fact, the reason why Marcruz is still in the gladiator school and did not go home is because he came to see Zhang Heng. He wanted to draw the full attention of His Majesty the Emperor before the latter won the championship, and find a way to put him under control again. middle.
Marcruz has been treating Zhang Heng as a cash cow without asking for anything now. For three years, as long as Zhang Heng is willing to work for him sincerely for three years, he is willing to return his freedom to this oriental man after three years. There is no way, Although it is very painful, Marcruz still has to admit after careful consideration that this may be the best solution for him at this stage.
On Zhang Heng's side, he is not afraid that the former will not agree, because he is Zhang Heng's master no matter what the law is, and he controls Zhang Heng's life and death. Even Commodus can't change this. , he insisted on killing Zhang Heng, and if he sued Julia Basilica about this matter, he would also be sentenced to win.
But this is the case in terms of jurisprudence. It does not mean that Marcruz really dared to offend Commodus, the emperor of the Roman Empire. He is not qualified to speak in front of the rich and powerful. If Commodus does not come tonight, Marcruz can still pretend to be confused, but now that Commodus is here to visit Zhang Heng in person, no matter what the reason is, the meaning of it is very strange. same.
Mark Cruise also lost the last chance to threaten Zhang Heng. Of course, these thoughts just flashed through his head. The emperor went to see Zhang Heng.
When Kang Maode came outside Zhang Heng's house, Zhang Heng's little slave girl happened to come out to collect clothes, and Kang Maode and his guards didn't wear any formal clothes that could show their identity, so Zhang Heng's little slave girl thought Where are they sneaking in to see the rabid "fans" of the gladiators they adore.
This kind of thing has never happened before. As the most popular idol of this era, gladiators will inevitably encounter all kinds of harassment. Of course, the little slave girl is not qualified to watch today's gladiatorial performance, but Zhang Heng's She had heard about the amazing performance, and while she was proud, it also made her feel more and more the burden on her shoulders.
The time she lived with Zhang Heng was also the happiest time for her. She was born in Rome. Her original family was not considered rich but could be said to be poor. He died, and even his wife and daughter became slaves.
However, she didn't feel how miserable her life experience was. It may be because she was too young at that time to feel the pain caused by the great changes. She has been a slave since she was sensible, so she accepted it easily. For one thing, I also know what fate will greet me in the future, so when I was assigned to serve Zhang Heng, I had already prepared various awareness.
But I didn't expect the new owner to be a very special person.
Although she looks a bit colder at ordinary times, and she doesn't like to talk very much when she gets home, but she would ask her if she was cold when she was sleeping on the floor, and recently, when she had time, she helped her build a low bed. The little slave girl was flattered, her face was sweet for several days, and it made her more determined to take care of someone's daily life.
So she stopped firmly in front of Kang Maode and the others at this moment, and said fiercely, "Stop, stop, who are you, 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 funny, took out a Sestus from his arms and threw it to the little slave girl.
"Bribes are useless." However, the little female slave puffed up her chest when she saw this, as if she was not moved by money.
"It's not a bribe. Take a look at that coin. This is a sample coin. If there is no accident in the future, the new coin will be minted according to this sample coin."
"Huh?" The little slave girl looked down at the copper coin in her hand, a little puzzled, "Why does the person above look a bit like you?"
"Is it just a bit similar?" Commodus frowned, "It seems that we need to make a few more versions for comparison."
