v3 Chapter 237： Gifts and trouble (1/2)

”Are we friends?” Zhang Heng asked vaguely.

”Of course, of course, we are all advisors to the Emperor, naturally friends.” Otrus's voice was very sincere, making people involuntarily want to believe him, coupled with the role of phytoalkids in the East, changed another Alone here can't help but be open to him.

In fact, Otrus is also very satisfied with Zhang Heng's current response. He continued to ask, ”I heard that you are from a distant eastern country. There are rumors that you are a noble there. Why do n’t you enjoy your good life? To leave the country and come to Rome thousands of miles away? ”

”Oh, that ’s a long story. My family was once prominent. My father was a general of the empire, but then he was robbed and put in prison, and in the following political struggle my family failed. I I lost all the people and things I cared about. In the end, I was alone. I had to leave my country and go west. I do n’t know where my end point is. I just need to escape ... It was a nightmare. I did n’t know at that time that I would come to Rome, and I did n’t want anyone else to know my previous experience. ”

恒 Zhang Heng knows that Otrus can't be falsified, so he can rest assured to make it up. At the same time, Zhang Heng also uses this story to explain why he has such excellent skills and considerable political experience.

可以 ”Understandable,” Otellus nodded. ”Now that you are a Roman citizen, this city will be your new home in the future.”

”hope so.”

”Let's continue to talk about what happened after you arrived in Rome. When did you first meet with your Majesty?” Otrus asked.

”I first met Your Majesty at a dinner at Dior's hometown.” Zhang Hengdao.

”I heard what happened that night. You provoked Satonillos and attracted His Majesty's attention. Did you do it because someone asked you to do it?”

”No, I do this because I want freedom and to enter the upper class,” Zhang Heng's voice sounded a little sleepy. ”Trust me, my background makes me no stranger to this kind of thing, if I want to find a backer, of course I have to choose the tallest one. ”

”Wise choice,” Otruston paused, and then raised a question, ”What do you think of Lucilla?”

”Who?”

”Sister of Her Majesty, Augusta Lucilla of the Roman Empire.”

”She wants to sleep with me.” Zhang Heng thought without thinking.

Otrus seemed to be amused and laughed, ”Yes, Lucilla is in the same vein as her mother in terms of private life. All kinds of men are like her booty. You are Flavi. The gladiator champion of the rotunda is still quite new to her. It is not surprising that she is interested in you, but I am not asking such a thing. I want to know, what is your opinion or impression of her? ”

”I can't see her through,” Zhang Heng truthfully said. ”I heard some rumors about her. It is said that her relationship with Her Majesty is not as good as it seems, so I have been trying to stay away from her. No one likes people who pedal two boats. ”

”You are smart and smarter than most people,” Otrus raised his eyebrows. ”Last question, have you heard of the blade of balance?”
