Chapter 691: Assassination

"Damn!"

Luga instinctively screamed, a sound that stood out in the stands, only to see the assassin's dagger stabbed him in the chest, straight to the heart, and he didn't have time to react, leaning on his sideways jerk.

"Click..."

The sharp dagger slashed across his chest, sending a string of tiny sparks on the scales on his chest.

"Protect Caesar! Protect Caesar! ”

The guards near Luga immediately took action, and when the assassin saw this, he immediately drew his knife to his chest, leaving him with little time left, he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Long live Rome!" Then he stabbed Luga again.

Before Luga could react, the sharp dagger pierced through his scales and stabbed into the rib gap on the left side of his ribs. Luga's whole body was chaotic for that moment, but fortunately, he finally had a trace of consciousness and immediately grabbed the Assassin's arm, at which point a large group of guards pounced on the Assassin who tried to assassinate Luga.

"Long live Rome! Long live Rome! ”

Despite his face pressed against the ground, the Assassin stubbornly shouted his own slogans and regarded them as justice.

"This damn beast!"

Andrew cursed angrily, drew his iron sword with a "brush", and pressed the blade against the neck of the crushed Praetorian Guard, he imagined that he would kill the bastard like a beast.

"Stop, Andrew, this guy can't die yet." Luga endured the pain and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Andrew, "We will escort him back now, so that we can interrogate the real culprit in his mouth." ”

Such a blatant assassination was a great irony of the Praetorian Guard in Rome, and although the Assassin was pushed to the ground, his identity was actually that of the Praetorian Guard.

Everyone, of course, everyone on Luga's side raised their heads to look at Valentinian, I don't know if they were frightened by these dozens of pairs of eyes or if there was really a ghost in their hearts, Valentinian turned pale in fear and hurriedly stood up.

Whose responsibility it was, it must have been self-evident to all of you, Luga covered his wounds, the dagger was still in his chest and had not been pulled out, and the blood on it was dripping down the lines of his armor.

Yudoria had already been so frightened that he covered his face and deliberately avoided it, and Huneric on the side turned pale, looking at the blood-stained dagger and his own Luga's unchanged expression was enough to shock him.

Hunerik looked at Luga's tall figure and could barely speak, and he trembled and moved backwards, thinking that he should be farther away from this demon and farther away.

Luga walked in front of Valentinian so unhurriedly, Valentinian's eyes widened, his whole body stiffened, he even held his breath, presumably Luga would slap him hard in the next second, just like just now.

"Assassination in secret is not the practice of decent people, especially for Rome, killing one person will not solve the will of tens of millions, my friend." Luga was surprisingly unusually this time, he was so calm, and his attitude towards Valentinian was like forgiving a child who had done a small wrong and begged for forgiveness.

"Whew!"

Luga grabbed the handle of the dagger, and then pulled the whole dagger out with great force, and the blood that came out splattered Valentinian's face, and this made Valentinian tremble.

Luga didn't say anything, looked at Valentinian coldly without saying a word, then turned around and said to Andrew: "Let's go, Andrew, I'm a little tired, today is too exciting, it makes me feel bored." ”

Luga said, and glanced at Yudoria not far away, Yudoria was obviously frightened, and even more so because of the blood that made her hide in the nanny's arms and cry.

Valentinian turned his head to look at Petronius not far away. Maximus, Maximus shook his head lightly at Valentinian, and then mouthed to Valentinian, "Steady." Then he disappeared into the chaos of the crowd.

Valentinian must not have understood what Maximus meant, he just stood there petrified, overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle.

Luga walked towards the exit without looking back, his guards following closely behind, and although he was stealthy, Andrew tried to help Luga several times, but he politely refused. Luga walked forward with his chest held up, spilling drops of blood along the way, and the guards behind him turned pale with fright, but every time they wanted to come forward to help, they would be stopped by Luga's stern orders.

Luga must have been in great pain at this time, clutching the wound on his chest and gritting his teeth and walking forward. His lips were pale with blood, but he gritted his teeth until he walked out of the arena and into his carriage.

"Cave Pass!"

Luga finally couldn't take it anymore, and in a sudden burst of vertigo, he fell to his knees like a puppet that had lost the traction of a rope.

"Caesar! Caesar! ”

The guards beside him hurriedly helped him up and helped him into the carriage, and after making sure that no one else around saw him, they immediately escorted Luga's carriage away.

At Arecio's mansion, the surgeon stopped Luga's bleeding and tried to close the wound using the technology of the time.

Luga spent two days in a coma in bed before he woke up, but he still looked very weak.

Luga struggled to sit up from the bed, his head still feeling a little dizzy due to the blood loss, but he was awake enough.

It's just that the wounds they stitched up with parchment threads were indeed ugly, and they didn't heal well, so Luga had to endure great pain when he sat up.

The waiter hurried to report this scene, and within a few minutes, Andrew and Arecio hurried over. Looking at Luga's pale appearance at the beginning of his serious illness, Andrew and Arecio burst into tears of excitement.

"Hey, I said." Luga gasped and continued, "By the way, at that time, I didn't make a fool of myself in front of Yudoria. ”

"What? Yudoria? Arecio almost burst out laughing, "Caesar, when did you fall in love with this ten-year-old girl again, oh, no wonder Caesar was so opposed to Yudoria's engagement to Hunerik. ”

"No, how could it be." Luga realized that he had missed something, so he quickly explained: "This is what Liekinia meant, she really wants to see her daughter, I specially asked me to protect Yudoria when I came, but now it seems to me that there must be a lot of ugliness." ”

"No, Caesar." Andrew shook his head firmly, and continued, "You are very brave, especially in front of Yudoria, oh my God, the way you looked at that time frightened everyone present, even Yudoria was scared to tears. ”

"Hah, that's funny." Luga smiled, not knowing how to describe it, but soon he came to his senses and quickly asked, "How is that assassin?" ”

"Not to mention, he committed suicide by getting the poison out of nowhere while we escorted him back." Andrew said with a long sigh, "It seems that this plan is really well planned, and it never wants us to catch them all along. ”

"Well, Arrecio, look at how likely it is that Valentinian will do this." Luga Tunnel asked Arecio Road.

"This is not guaranteed." Arecio shook his head, "After all, you must be a thoughtful guy who wants to do this, and in my opinion, Arecio doesn't have the ability to do so." ”
