By the time Zhang Heng and Lockheed's granddaughter finished discussing all the details, it was already night time.
At this point, the patrol team finally survived the biggest crisis at hand. The other forces who had already received the news had mixed feelings.
In the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Heng's side undoubtedly won the negotiation this time.
As an outsider and a member of the patrol team, he actually got permission from the three major forces to develop and cultivate his power here. It was a miracle.
But the good news was that they no longer had to worry about the patrol team suddenly coming to look for trouble. Someone had put a shackle on the neck of this out-of-control beast, and they could finally sleep peacefully at night.
The news that a thousand imperial guards might be stationed in the southeast city had spread. Except for people like Copper Arm who hated the patrol team very much, most people were not satisfied with this result, but they could accept it. In their opinion, Zhang Heng obviously took advantage of everyone's fear of the imperial guards to successfully get the opportunity to develop from the three major forces.
But as the person involved, Zhang Heng knew very well what he had to pay in order to get this opportunity. Zhang Heng even suspected that Lockheed wanted to use him to solve the problems encountered by the Jewish gang this time.
Of course, in the end, the two sides should be using each other to get what they needed.
Through this negotiation, Zhang Heng also understood why Lockheed had so many children. Why did he want to keep this granddaughter by his side? This girl looked innocent and innocent, but if someone really thought that she was just a pretty face, they would definitely suffer a great loss.
Although her performance during the negotiation was not as good as her grandfather's, it was obvious that she had been carefully trained by Lockheed. And she knew very well what her advantages were, and she made full use of them. But after the negotiation, she returned to her previous girlish appearance, and she even warmly invited Zhang Heng to her house for dinner. In the end, Zhang Heng declined.
Zhang Heng had been negotiating for the whole afternoon, and the other party's strategy had made him a little tired. Besides, the most important thing was that he still had to meet someone.
After that, Zhang Heng asked Marcus and Aris, who came with him, to go back first. He then chose a random direction and walked into the street under the night sky.
He didn't walk too far before he saw Cornu, who had left the tavern a step earlier than him, in an alley ahead.
The latter was playing in the mud with a group of little ghosts and seemed to be having a good time. However, when he heard footsteps, he chased the little ghosts back home. Then, he clapped his hands and stood up, exclaiming in surprise, "What a coincidence!"
"Since the famous Honeycomb knows what I have for breakfast, it's not a surprise to meet you no matter where I go, right?" Zhang Heng asked rhetorically.
Cornu smiled. "You are indeed as difficult to deal with as the rumors say. It seems that I was thinking too highly of myself. Even if I don't speak up for you, you should be able to pass this test smoothly."
"No, the information you gave me when we met did help me a lot in the subsequent negotiations."
"But you were really ruthless when you insulted me back then." Cornu smiled bitterly. "I'm on the way to pursuing Lockheed's granddaughter. Your words directly eliminated me."
"I believe that a veteran in love like you should have a way to save the situation," Zhang Heng said with a straight face.
"Well, I do have some tricks up my sleeve, but this is my trump card. I originally planned to use it when I get caught cheating on you after marriage," Cornu said with a smile. Cornu chuckled. "By the way, you must be curious why I helped you upstairs, right?"
"Do you want an explanation?"
"Of course, it's because I come from the same place as you," Cornu said mysteriously.
"Oh, are you also from the mysterious and distant East?" Zhang Heng asked.
"No, you know where I'm talking about." Cornu looked around and confirmed that there was no third party present. After that, he suddenly leaned close to Zhang Heng's ear and whispered, "May everything in the world return to balance, and you and I are both Kreis's blades."
"What do you mean by this?"
Cornu looked at Zhang Heng as if he wanted to find traces of lying from the latter's face, but he failed in the end. Zhang Heng looked like he had just heard this sentence. He frowned slightly, and there was a little doubt in his eyes. "Nothing.
I was just joking just now. Don't take it to heart. To be honest, the Honeycomb is very interested in you. Although you are in some trouble now, we believe that you will soon return to Commodus' side. The Honeycomb thinks that you will become a new star in Rome's political scene, and we are willing to bet on you. We will pay you some goodwill in advance. "" That's right, Zhang Heng.
"Then you are quite generous," Zhang Heng also replied, "What do you want from a future star like me?"
"For now, there is nothing that interests us. But when you advance further, I think there will be a lot of things we can talk about."
"I didn't expect the Beehive to care about politics outside the southeast city." Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.
"We are different from the Jewish gang and the Golden Crown. Our eyes are not only on the southeast city," Cornu said. However, he did not seem to want to explain further. After that, he smiled again, "Anyway, it's nice to meet you. I believe we will meet again soon."
After that, he squatted down again and continued to rub the mud. It seemed that he was going to finish the mud palace that he built with the group of kids.
After saying goodbye to Cornu, Zhang Heng continued to walk along the street. The problem with the patrol team had basically been solved, and he could give himself a little vacation. He had an appointment with the slave girl to go home for dinner tonight, so he was going to leave the southeast city for one night.
Not long after Zhang Heng's figure disappeared, another figure walked up to Cornu and asked, "How is it? Is he one of them?"
"Doesn't seem like it. I tested him with the Balance Blade's doctrine, but he barely reacted," Cornu said truthfully. "It's like he has never heard of it before. What should we do? Should we continue to keep an eye on him?"
No matter what, he is the gladiatorial champion of the Amphitheatrum Flavium. He can even arm wrestle with Lockheed. Now is the critical period of our plan. If we succeed, we can capture all the members of the Balance Blade in one fell swoop. There is no need to worry about one person. Let him go first, "the figure said.
