"In this way, His Excellency Luga was also a loyal vassal of Rome, so it is said that he supported Valentinian to become the only Augustus of Rome." Aetius secretly calculated in his heart that he would have to receive Augustus next, and as soon as possible.

"At that point, I need to discuss it with Valentinian." Luga pondered for a moment and said to Aetius.

"No, it's not necessary at all, Lord Luga!" After hearing Luga's proposal, Aetius immediately refused without thinking about it.

"I can't imagine what kind of machinations you have in mind right now, Luga." Aetius pointed to the Roman city gate not far away, and then said to Luga: "Here, I can't enter, and it is impossible for Your Excellency to enter, I have a proposal, I will send an envoy to meet Augustus, because Rome has been occupied by your Excellency by despicable means, so your Excellency will decide for yourself." Of course, I do not want Your Excellency to interfere with the meeting of my emissary with Augustus. ”

"Of course," Luga only smiled at Aetius's almost unreasonable request, for it didn't frighten him at all, "Augustus is in Rome, and Rome has turned your Excellency away, so it seems that Your Excellency is not qualified to say such conditions." ”

"I have no intention of arguing with Your Excellency about anything." Aetius raised his hands and shrugged his shoulders, pointed to the east, and said sharply to Luga: "Now that the position of Augustus in the eastern Rome is vacant, whether it is the Senate or the local nobles, which one is not eyeing this position. I'm afraid you're wasting time here, but His Majesty Augustus Valentinian doesn't have that time. ”

"You are threatening me, Lord Aetius. Your Excellency must know that if you delay Augustus at that time, you will blame Your Excellency for leading your army to block the gates of Rome. Speaking of this, Luga seemed to suddenly understand something, his eyes widened, and he deliberately said to Aetius in a surprised tone: "I suddenly forgot that your son, Gordontius, proposed to Augustus's youngest daughter Oberia, but you treat the members of the Purple Room with such an arrogant attitude, I am afraid that the temperamental Augustus will have other thoughts about the marriage of his youngest daughter and your son." ”

This sentence poked Aetius's soft underbelly, and when he saw Aetius's face pale, he must have asked under this expression: How do you know this damn guy!

Seeing that Aetius didn't say a word, it seemed that he wanted to prevaricate the topic, and after a long time, Aetius held back a sentence: "No matter what, leave everything to Valentinian, he is already an adult!" ”

"Luga! Luga! Luga! ”

Valentinian couldn't control his inner impulse in the palace again, and he broke everything he could see, gasping for breath as his already weak body could not support his already weak body from his outburst of rage.

He told the man's name over and over again, and his head asked over and over again whether this guy was friend or foe.

"Who is he? Who is he? ”

It was all as if it were a ring, one by one, tightly wrapped around the meaning, and an unfamiliar voice echoed in his head, questioning Valentinian over and over again. Valentinian also replied over and over again: "Who is he?" Luga! Who is he? Luga! ……”

Suddenly, Valentinian stopped the madness in his hand and paused like a lifelike statue. The whole house fell silent, like the calm after a storm, and only the faint sound of gasps could be heard.

Valentinian's eyes widened as he looked at the messy ground in front of him, his eyes red with anger, he had calmed down, he seemed to have found the answer.

"Who is he?"

"Flavies. Luga, the adopted son of Theodosius. Valentinian's gaze turned cold, and the sound sounded like that of a demon coming from hell.

In the evening, an uninvited guest came to Luga's barracks, she sat in a simple carriage, and the guards were only three people, all familiar faces to Luga.

"Why are you here?" Luga watched them walk in through the back door of the barracks, put down his cloak and took off his helmet, Matteorius, Berialius, and John. Antioch.

Behind them there was another man, who got out of the carriage and hid behind the three, as if waiting for Luga's attention, but through the firelight, Luga noticed his presence.

"Who is he?" Luga asked, pointing to the man who had deliberately hidden himself.

Before the three of them could answer, the guy revealed her identity, only to see her pull back the hood that covered her head, revealing a pale face with light makeup.

"Likenia, why are you here?" Luga's eyes widened when he saw her, he couldn't believe his eyes, but it happened.

"We all know about your conversation with Aetius today." Berialiu said, and couldn't help but shake his head, "Oh my God, you must have been forced to make such a decision at that time. ”

Luga didn't listen to Berialius's words, and his attention was on Augusta Lickinia.

"I'm sure you must have read the letter my father left you, and by the way, he's your father too." Leekinia's eyes were red, and she glared at Luga, her eyes revealing resentment and incomprehension.

"Likenia." Luga looked at her with a serious face and explained, "I understand your current thoughts, but now it is not as simple as you think. ”

"Is it because you don't have a desire for power, or because you hate me, even seeing me makes you miserable?" It sounded like a heartbreak, and Lickinia finally couldn't control her emotions and let the tears flow.

"No, no, no, Lickinia, I didn't mean that!" Luga hurriedly explained, but he couldn't find a topic to talk about.

"Listen, Lickinia, me, my sister." Luga looked at Likinia with a serious face, and stretched out his hands on her slightly trembling shoulders, "You should understand the current situation, Aetius is trying in every possible way to catch my weakness, but I can't be sloppy or careless. ”

"Enough! It's all an excuse! Licinia interrupted Luga, who, like an angry, unreasonable shrew, slapped Luga's hands away and grabbed him by the clothes. Are you crowding out me? You're lying, you've been hating me all along, you're not afraid of Aetius, you're hating me, say, say the hatred in your heart, insult me in the most vicious language you can imagine, make me unbearable until you turn away, you want to do it, don't you? ”

This poor woman, even if she is ruthless, but her tears are raining down, crying into tears, no matter who she is, she will not be willing to hurt her because of her.

"You're my weakness." Instead of being angry at her scolding, Luga said to her in the most gentle language he could: "You, Udoria, are my weakness, and you can put me to death. ”

Such words made Lickinia stunned, her eyes widened with tears, her eyes were clearly shaken, and the tears washed away the resentment and incomprehension, leaving behind a full of emotion.

"Really?" Leekinia's voice trembled with excitement, "What you said, is it all true?" ”

Luga just nodded slightly, and he agreed.
