Chapter 597: Return to the Purple Room

"Luga, don't forget your father's reminder!" Andrew continued: "It's Theodosius, and he told you to go and see your sister, and I don't know why?" ”

"He must have a reason for saying that, and asking me to do it!" Luga thought about it and decided to follow Theodosius II's idea to go to Ravenna to find Licinia first, and to be honest, Luga was a little resistant to seeing Licinia now, not because he was afraid to see her handsome face.

A beauty's face is like a painting worth admiring, and a few more glances can not only delight the body and mind, but also pleasing the eyes. It's just that this beauty is too scheming, although she is so simple and lovely to others, but to Luga, who knows her roots, this woman is like a tiger, and she will eat him at any time.

After the oppression of a fierce ideological struggle, Luga finally realized that he had to return to Ravenna after a long absence, to see what had happened in Ravenna for so long.

Two weeks later, Luga's army appeared outside Ravenna's gates, much to the sweat of Ravenna's defending duke. If you know, you can say, if you don't know, then you have to think that Luga has rebelled.

Fortunately, the army stayed more than ten kilometers outside the city, and with such a huge army, cooking was like a fire. The pedestrians who came and went would always shake their heads and laugh when they learned that this army belonged to the soldier commander Luga, "If Aetius knew that the army was stationed outside Ravenna, what would he think?" ”

Upon learning of Luga's arrival, Valentinian III had already set up a banquet in the palace to wait for Luga.

This banquet was too far from the original ceremony of the soldiers, and the whole scene was very simple. There are no various programs, no strange exhibits, only an empty table is clean and tidy, but it does seem very different from the row of Augustus.

"It must be trying to express something, I can see it." Walking through it, Luga secretly thought that in New Carthage, Valentinian III had already sent someone to protest to Luga, asking him why he had taken away the taxes, and this time in Ravenna, such a humble banquet that even paroded the ordinary nobles wanted to highlight the most important theme.

"Your Lord, this is your seat!" Thinking like this, the waiter who led the way in front of him stopped, only to see him point to the wooden chair in front of him, which was a little old, and it could even be said that the chairs used in this banquet were very old.

"Okay!"

Luga could appear polite and nod to the waiter in front of him.

The scene was so shabby that even Valentinian III did not invite more people to come, most of them were supporters of the Purple Room and court officials.

When everyone was seated, Valentinian was late at this time, and the waiter opened the door inside, and Lickinia took Valentinian's arm and walked in slowly.

He was really a man who put all his joys and sorrows on his face, and he could smile when he saw other noble supporters, but when he saw Luga, the guy who didn't make him feel good, his face changed as fast as the light of lightning.

"I'm so sorry to summon you to my place for lunch at a time like this!" After Valentinian III and Licchia were seated, he said apologetically to the others present: "Because of the inexplicable financial constraints, we have to save money to complete such a welcoming ceremony for the sake of the Empire, although we must know that this situation is due to someone!" ”

These words pointed the finger at Luga, who could hear it, and so could these nobles, and when Valentinian said this, he deliberately glanced at Luga, and there was a deep meaning in his eyes.

This made Luga smile awkwardly, he knew that Valentinian must want to cut him with a thousand knives, but he was a puppet emperor after all. Compared with Luga, who holds the power of the army, he is afraid that he can only be so sarcastic and not give Lujia a good face, and nothing else.

The banquet was very awkward, and when the food was served, not only the quantity but also the taste was a lot worse than before. Not only were the nobles present complaining quietly, but even Luga frowned when he put them in his mouth.

Valentinian III looked normal, he didn't eat at all, he just stared at Luga with wine, as if he was saying to Luga, "Eat, eat, it's all thanks to you!" ”

Licinia next to Valentinian III was completely different from Valentinian's way, this woman did not hide the heat in her heart at all, and her eyes were so hot when she looked at Luga, as if the water flowing in her eyes was so hot. This made Lujia even more embarrassed Since he inadvertently drifted inadvertently, Lujia buried his head in the plate in front of him without saying a word, enjoying the "delicious" by himself, and the neglected Likinia naturally retracted her gaze stupidly, her eyes were full of loss.

The banquet ended hastily, and I am afraid that none of them were satisfied, and Luga was really embarrassed, and from the beginning to the end he felt as if he was sitting on a torture instrument, and this torture came from the complaining eyes of Valentinian and the others. It was as if he was asking Luga over and over again, "Why do you withhold taxes and not pay them?" ”

When everyone else was gone, and only Valentinian III and Liquinia and Luga were left at the messy table, the whole scene fell silent for a moment, and it seemed that it was a matter of personal matter.

"Caesar!" After a long silence, Luga knew that such a cold war was not the solution at all, so he planned to come forward and take the initiative to communicate with Valentinian III.

"Humph!" Unexpectedly, instead of appreciating it, Valentinian III snorted coldly, stood up directly, and left the banquet hall directly with the attendants, and the whole world seemed to be quiet under the sound of the door closing.

Now only Luga and Lickinia are left, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Lickinia.

"Father said I had to come and see you." Lu Jia hesitated for a long time, and finally said such a thing, and his voice was like a mosquito chirping, and I am afraid that I can't hear it clearly.

"Oh!" Liekinia replied very casually, like a perfunctory response.

However, to Luga's surprise, this time Likinia did not do anything excessive or say something that should not have been, which should have been her style but she did not.

"Has she really changed?" Luga said in his heart, I don't know why he was a little lost, as if he had lost something.

Likinia sat in her place without saying a word, she bit her lip tightly and lowered her head, she had always been the initiator of the topic, no matter how bastard this topic was, but she was exceptionally calm this time, or rather, she was numb.

"Well, is Yudoria okay?" Luga finally found a topic, which made Lickinia's eyes flash with a light, as if the whole person was activated!

She looked up at Luga, and there was disbelief in her eyes, she didn't believe that Luga could care about Yudoria, his own daughter.

"I think she can walk already." Luga didn't know what he was talking about, he only felt that he was surrounded by sin and couldn't break free, and he was still laughing and saying, "Look at me, I haven't seen that cute little princess for so long, and my father is also very concerned about the little one, so let me ask about it."

"Yes, not only can I walk, but I can even call my father." Lickinia replied coldly.

Luga was stupid and didn't understand what it meant, Likinia sat up straight, sighed, then got up and said to Luga: "It's not convenient to talk here, otherwise, I'll take you to see Yudoria." ”

Without waiting for Luga to agree, Likinia got up.

Following behind Licinia, Luga felt that her back was a little heavy, it must be the burden of life that weighed her breathlessly, and it made her understand a lot of truths, no longer the innocent little girl at the beginning, who would have thought that she was only a little over twenty years old.

Along the long hallway, Liekinia finally pushed open the door at the end of the corridor, and Luga followed, while the maid serving Richinia waited outside.

This is a boudoir, and here, Luga sees a man who is only good-looking, with white skin like jade, black hair and black eyes, typical of Latin blood, and between his eyebrows, he really looks a little like Luga. The little girl was overwhelmed by the stranger behind Lyquinia, but her eyes widened in place now.

Luga also saw a man, a boy, a teenager who was close to adulthood, with glowing hair, Germanic ancestry, and a special resemblance to a person, Luga couldn't tell. The boy's reaction to seeing Luga was even more violent, and he retreated in shock, almost tripping over the corner of the table behind him.

"It's okay, let's get out!" Lyquinia said to them, and the boy and the maid who were playing with him hurriedly bowed and left the room, leaving only Luga and the three of them.

"I didn't expect it to be so big!" Luga looked down at Yudoria and said with a smile.

"There's no time to laugh at this point, Luga!" Likinia grabbed Luga, she leaned closer, her eyes fixed on Luga and his eyes, "I have to tell you something very important, this is a warning, you must be vigilant!" ”

Seeing Likinia so serious, Luga also felt a little bad, and he nodded hurriedly.
