Although Luga said that it didn't matter, he still had a trace of illusion about this parchment from Aetius. It's just that the last sentence on the parchment made him have to pay attention to it, because Aetius hoped that he would be able to reconcile with Remitius before they cooperated.

Luga really couldn't think of what this reconciliation could bring him, was it the support of the Senate? How is it possible, his sword has already left an unforgettable mark on the old fox of Remitius, how can this guy who doesn't know whether to remember a grudge not hold a grudge against him? The scars on the wounds are not yet healed, and at this time to mediate, there is still some credibility for the limping teacher to ask for the guilt.

Once bitten by a snake and afraid of the well rope for ten years, Luga had to start thinking about the intention of Aetius's invitation, if he fell into the siege again, he would not be so lucky to get the help of the soldiers.

"I think I'm starting to understand why they're doing everything they can to stop me from annihilating Gaisaric, because I'm afraid I'll use my victory to get more of what they don't want me to get." Luga played with the parchment in his hand, rubbing his fingertips against the uneven surface. He is thinking, preparing for a possible crisis in the future.

"Luga, what is there to say, such as the venue for the meeting, and the time." Andrew also sweated for this, and he continued: "After all, we are facing a real old fox, and no one is sure if there is any conspiracy here. ”

"Yes, Andrew, you and I went together." Luga nodded at Andrew and continued, "They want to talk to us in Syracuse in a week, he doesn't know why he chose this place, I think this place should still be under our control." Luca said, carefully putting away the parchment, and picked up the silver wine glass on the table, which was no longer wine, but water, boiled water. Because he drank too much wine, he also felt a trace of discomfort, such as abdominal pain. He knew that it must be a problem with the wine, which he had never drunk before, and drank it as water, but now, the wine had become unnecessary.

"Send an auxiliary legion first." Luga pondered for a moment and said, "They are still in Palermo, so we will be stationed in Syracuse first, and at least the whole city can be controlled by us, so as not to let an old fox like Remitius seize the opportunity to think of any tricks." ”

"Also, be careful in everything, after all, we have suffered a loss once." Andrew nodded yes and said, "Then do it according to your method, then transfer to a legion first." ”

"Yes, let that legion guard the city gates, don't let them in during this time, don't let Remitius and Aetius's people enter the city at that time, I'll give you three days, this should be enough."

Andrew was ordered to retreat, leaving Luga alone in the room.

"Which one is this farce?" Luga asked himself, took the iron sword, drew it, and wiped the blade with a cloth so that it would shine a little brighter.

The arrangements made in the morning, and the auxiliary regiment under the command of Marenius, which had been arranged in the afternoon, had already departed.

After another three days, Luga led the Andrew and his two hundred guards on horseback for a whole day's journey, and finally reached Syracuse at noon the next day.

As soon as they entered the city, there were still enthusiastic cheers, and the citizens were clear-eyed people, and they knew who was the warrior who saved them.

There were three days left, which was plenty of time, and he slept well in the arranged room in the city until noon the next day. After he got up, he began to prepare the room, and began the next step of the joint discussion, the workload was not much, but he arranged his own manpower in the conference room, although in the spirit of not calculating their ideas, the heart of harm must not be there, the heart of defense is indispensable, and it is always good to make second-hand preparations.

After another three days, Aetius was not late, and he brought only one guard, which Luga did not understand, and with his character, he should not have put himself in danger so easily. But he did, but he was the only one, and Luga did not see Remitius, which is not surprising, which may be why Aetius dared to come alone with his own guard.

He followed Andrew with two guards carrying a suitcase to the conference room that Luga had prepared for him, and when he opened the door, Aetius couldn't help but be startled, because the first thing he saw was not Luga, but two rows of soldiers who were heavily armed and even with their swords in their hands.

Luga raised his hand slightly and pointed at Andrew, who nodded in response and shouted to the soldiers: "Put away your sword and stand by!" ”

"Brush!"

As if it had been rehearsed for a long time, the two rows of soldiers collected their swords almost simultaneously, in one go, and such a uniform speed made Aetius secretly amazed. Of course, this was a dismount that Luga gave him, and these soldiers had been practicing like this for three days just for today.

Andrew made a gesture to invite him, and I have to say that he has met more times, and Andrew is no longer excited about Aetius, but looks a lot more natural.

"Why, Lord Aetius, you asked me to come to the talks, the victim came, but the victim did not come, how can you let me reconcile?" Luga looked at Aetius with a puzzled expression and asked him with her hands outstretched.

"Oh, yes, Lord Luga." Aetius smiled and sat down opposite Luga under Andrew's guidance. He rubbed his hands together and smiled at Luga, "Your Excellency Thermotius was a little frightened, and because the wound had worsened due to the unsuitable climate, he had to go back to the priest to treat the doctor, so let me complete the discussion with Your Excellency on his behalf." ”

"Maybe I really shouldn't have spared him his life." Luga smiled, and his tone was full of dissatisfaction. "This is a serious enough problem that I have written a letter and presented it to His Majesty Augustus Theodosius in the Eastern Empire. I don't believe that this Senate has become so rampant that it dares to do whatever it wants in the name of Augustus! Of course, since he wants you to negotiate on his behalf, he must want some compensation, so he will give the mansion that his senate gave me to that old fellow, anyway, I have nothing else, he doesn't want it, and I have nothing else to give him. ”

This made Aetius feel embarrassed, and Luga was obviously referring to Sang scolding Huai, because it was Aetius himself who took out the scepter at that time, but he now had to admit that he had now deeply experienced the feeling when Luga was besieged at that time, and wanted to refute it, but he looked at the soldiers around him with cold faces and his right hand tightly pressed the hilt of the sword, and what he wanted to say was held back. He could not help but feel in surprise now that Luga seemed to be consciously or unconsciously mentioning Theodosius II, the Augustus of the Eastern Empire that made Aetius jealous. He was very worried, for fear that Luga would notice his jealousy, not to mention that Luga is now the adopted son of Theodosius II, so he naturally has the support of the Eastern Empire unconditionally, and his status is no longer what it used to be, so he has to behave politely to this Luga who used to play in the applause.

"Of course, Your Excellency, we still need to apologize to you for such an apology." Aetius said, lifting a golden statue of an intricately carved eagle from the chest placed on the ground by the guards behind him. Aetius looked at Luga and carefully placed the eagle emblem on the table.

"Heh, Eagle Emblem, it's a familiar thing, I have a problem." Luga couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the golden eagle emblem in his hand, and he continued, "I'm not even sure if the thing in your hand was unloaded from the banner of the Fourteenth Twin Legion under your command, then I can't afford to use it." ”

"Nope." Aetius shook his head and said, "This was given by Augustus Valentinian III to prove that you are the Eagle Banner Legion recognized by the Empire. ”
