Chapter 881 Old Friend

The Blade of Balance unilaterally cut off the connection with Zhang Heng, but this does not mean that Zhang Heng has no way to find them again.

Zhang Heng had previously gone to the priestess's territory while lying blindfolded in a carriage to meet the latter. Zhang Heng memorized the sounds and road conditions along the way, but then he reached an agreement with the priestess and added I was busy serving as a consultant to Commodus, so I didn’t explore further for the time being.

Now that Zhang Heng needs to reconnect with the Blade of Balance, the first thing that comes to mind is naturally this way.

Afterwards, Zhang Heng found Marcus and asked the latter to get a carriage. In order to restore the situation of that night as much as possible, Zhang Heng even ordered a carriage that was exactly the same as the one he had been lying in before. Cus drove his carriage to the arch bridge beside the Tiber River late at night.

Zhang Heng got on the carriage here before, so this time if he wants to find the path he took that night, he also needs to start from here and follow his memory to return to the place where he met the priestess.

However, Zhang Heng's attempt on the first night failed.

This is because it rained in the afternoon and changed the road conditions. Even if there was only a slight deviation, the cumulative impact was quite large for Zhang Heng who relied on the bumps and sounds to identify the direction.

So Zhang Heng had to wait until the next day, and tomorrow was the day to inspect the military camp. In other words, Zhang Heng could not fail again tonight, otherwise he would not be able to contact the Balanced Blade before inspecting the military camp.

Fortunately, he was lucky that day. Not only did it not rain again, but there was also plenty of sunshine at noon, which basically eliminated the impact of yesterday's rain. Therefore, when Zhang Heng returned to the carriage, the conductor was in front. Marcus, who was driving the bus, finally improved his accuracy a lot.

But even so, it took the two of them four hours to find the final goal through constant trial and error and backtracking.

Zhang Heng got off the carriage, looked at Domus in front of him, and asked Marcus beside him, "Do you know whose house this is?"

Marcus had obviously done his homework in advance, and he immediately replied after hearing this, "The owner of this Domus is Scotus, a young man from the Colasu family, but it is said that he himself was very good about two years ago. Don’t come here anymore, now only the old servant who is the gatekeeper still lives in it.”

Zhang Heng nodded, "I can do the rest by myself. You can go back."

Marcus didn't ask much after hearing this, turned around and drove away in the carriage. This was what Zhang Heng admired most about him. This young man knew very well what things should be asked and what things should not be asked.

When Marcus disappeared from the street, Zhang Heng put on his hood.

Now is a special moment. Let’s not talk about whether there are people from the Balanced Blade inside. Even if this place is really a secret stronghold of the priestess, considering the existence of traitors in the Balanced Blade, Zhang Heng decided to show up as little as possible. Show up.

So he jumped over the wall and into the front hall.

As soon as he landed, the hairs all over his body stood up, because a dagger stabbed his lower back silently. Fortunately, Zhang Heng's reaction was quick enough, and he had been strengthening his body during this period. Only by moving in such a way can one avoid this knife at the critical moment.

But the opponent's attack did not stop, but became more ferocious, and at the same time, he also pulled out another dagger.

Zhang Heng also pulled out his two Persian swords and swung them back, as if there were eyes on his back, accurately holding the attacker's dagger. His action also made the attacker slightly stunned. Naturally, Zhang Heng would not waste this rare opportunity. He finally turned around and saw the attacker's face.

With the veil blocking Zhang Heng, although he couldn't see the other person's face, he recognized that it was the veiled woman in the perfume shop who attacked him.

When the two met, Zhang Heng could tell that this woman must also be an assassin, but he didn't expect her skills to be so good. Just based on the few rounds they had just fought, her assassination level was already higher than that of the old Persian trainer. Above.

Zhang Heng also speculated that the other party was probably a core member of the Blade of Balance.

The veiled woman opposite also obviously recognized Zhang Heng, not through his appearance, but through Zhang Heng's moves.

"It seems that Dadatis really values ​​you. He taught you all his secret skills." The veiled woman said, "Of course, you learn very quickly. I just met you." When you were still at the Victor Arena, you probably couldn't avoid the assassination I just did."

Zhang Heng immediately thought of something. Dadatis had told him about the four people who knew his identity. The woman in front of him at this moment was obviously not the priestess, nor the assassin Speaker Faceless, so there was only one possibility left. Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows, "Are you Hyacinth?"

"It seems Dadatis mentioned me to you." The veiled woman said, "I'm curious about what he thought of me."

Zhang Heng could see that there was some kind of complicated relationship between Hyacinth and Dadatis, and they were not pure friends, so he tried his best to say something nice to the old Persian trainer and said, "He said you were his The best assassin I've ever seen."

Hyacinth laughed when he heard this, "Stop it, I know him, there is no way he would say such a thing. He did tell me about your unlimited potential, like an unpolished stone." The gem, as long as you rub it casually, you will become the strongest assassin in Rome in the future."

"Well..."

Zhang Heng was interrupted by Hyacinth before he could say anything, "But now it seems that he exaggerated a bit. You haven't been able to kill Otrus for so long to complete the test. It seems that even if you have talent, your talent is limited."

"If I remember correctly, didn't you have nothing to do with Otrus for a long time?" Zhang Heng asked, "You don't even know what he looks like."

"That was what happened before. Now we have found the opportunity to assassinate Otrus, so I'm afraid your test will fail. As for whether the organization will accept you in the future, we need to wait until this incident is over before evaluating it. Yes." Hyacinth said calmly.

"The opportunity you are talking about should not be when Commodus inspects the military camp tomorrow, but as far as I know, Otrus' physical condition does not allow him to appear in public." Zhang Heng said sarcastically to Hyacinth. He said in a nonchalant tone.

"We know that Otrus who will accompany Commodus tomorrow is fake." Hyacinth's answer was beyond Zhang Heng's expectations. She paused here and continued, "Not only do we know that Otrus is a fake, and we still know why the real Otrus released this news. In addition to luring us, more importantly, it is to conceal his true purpose." Hyacinth inserted the dagger back into her waist.

"But no matter what, it's quite impressive that you can touch here. Thank you for the information you provided, especially the fact that Otrus is physically inconvenient. We will verify it after we find the target. In addition, you also Is there anything else?" Although Hyacinth's tone was still polite, her body movements showed that she didn't want Zhang Heng to stay here longer.

It's not because Zhang Heng is unhappy, but because there are other important things to do at hand.

Zhang Heng also noticed this. He said nothing and nodded, "Then I wish you all the best tomorrow."
