Chapter 336: Don't Leave
Luga was like a dog running away with his tail between his legs, galloping all the way downstairs, he didn't know what he was running away from, and he didn't know what he was running away from. Back in the hall of the banquet, the whole scene was now extremely embarrassing, many nobles raised their glasses and drank, and some also snapped their tongues to urge themselves to vomit so that they could eat more, and the food at the moment only needed to taste for them, and it was another matter if they were full.
Luga hurriedly said goodbye to Valentinian and the nobles present, on the pretext that he had eaten too much, and there were still many important matters to deal with in the army, so he had to go back for a while. At this time, Valentinian was also reasonable, and in his surprise, he could only nod his head again and again, and agreed to Luga's request. And he watched Luga's departure from the noisy room, of course, he didn't know why Luga suddenly left in such a hurry.
"What exactly does she want? No, what the hell was she thinking? ”
Sitting in the carriage, Luga leaned his head against the planks of the carriage, and as the carriage swayed, the question haunted him all the time, as if it had been so entangled by Liekinia just now. It was a distressing question that he couldn't figure out. He felt like a slave bound by invisible chains, controlled and unable to move.
"She wants to use the child in her belly to restrain me, it must be like this, she must want to control me, and then let me help her finish something, it must be like this!" After thinking about it for a long time, he finally came to such a self-believing conclusion, although Lu Jia didn't know how far this conclusion was from the truth, but now it was the most paralyzing excuse for himself, Lu Jia would rather live in self-deception.
"Luga, we're here!"
Andrew's voice came from outside the window, and Luga came to his senses at this time, and it turned out that the carriage had stopped for a long time. Luga slowly got up and stepped out of the car, the camp was very empty, and everyone except the night watchmen patrolling everywhere should be sleeping.
"Luga," Andrew also turned and dismounted, and came to Luga's side to stop him, and asked, "Did Caesar say anything when you entered the banquet?" Seeing that he was so excited at the time, it should be reasonable to give you a big official position. ”
"Ha, that's nature!" Finally moved on to other topics, which made Luga relax a little. "I'll only tell you what happened when I had the chance, my friend!"
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Luga couldn't help but pause, as if he had thought of something, so he hurriedly turned around and asked Andrew, "You were waiting outside at the banquet just now, right?" ”
"That's right!" Andrew nodded, looked at Luga with a puzzled look and asked: "Lujia, why do you ask this, do you think I haven't eaten yet, don't worry, when you go in, we have a waiter outside to provide us with food, although it is not as good as your inside, but it is also very good, I am very full......"
"That's not what I want to ask, my friend!" Luga looked at Andrew with a black line on his face, and then asked, "I'm asking you that all your Ground Guard Captains should have been together at the time, so what I want to ask you is if you saw that Levi among you?" ”
"This..."Andrew raised his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head, and said helplessly: "No, I haven't seen him at all, it stands to reason that he is Augustus's close guard, so there is no reason not to guard Augustus's side, not to mention that there should be no vacation or other rest for him to leave Augustus's side." And Valentinian didn't see the choice of a new close guard, that is, Levi is still Augustus's close guard, that's right! Nor will I leave,"
"Damn it!" Luga couldn't help but clench his fists, "With so many people present at the time, it's not good for me to ask Valentinian face-to-face, where is Levi, and now in the presence of a large number of people, as Augustus's close guard, he is nowhere to be found, if this is not considered to be an unauthorized departure, then he has only one way!" Lu Jia frowned and said slowly: "Deliberately avoiding us!" ”
It's really a trick, Luga actually forgot about looking for Levi when he was thinking about hiding from Likinia, what a regrettable story, but there was no way, now he couldn't be cheeky and go back and ask where Valentinian Levi was? Missed out! Missed out! Luga secretly scolded himself in his heart for being useless, and now he can only do this, maybe next time he can remind himself in his heart from time to time to never do such a thing again to talk about comfort, I am afraid that during the time that Valentinian is going back to Ravenna, he still has a chance!
Thinking of this, Lu Jia nodded at Andrew, and explained: "It's not early, I'm so tired that I can fall asleep standing now, so I won't say more." ”
Andrew nodded, and Luga, led by the soldiers who had come to meet him, returned to his house worriedly.
"General, Ms. Tenaia has fallen asleep." The soldier whispered a reminder to Luga before opening the door, and Luga nodded at him, smiled and patted the soldier on the shoulder, and then entered.
The room was eerily quiet, except for a dim oil lamp, and the small flame that did not move seemed to be still, and only the sound of breathing could be heard in the dimness. It must have to be Tenaia, Luga looked in the direction of the bed, Tenaia might have waited too long, so she lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Luga stood on tiptoe and tried not to make a sound, like a gentle breeze from the ground, "floating" to the head of Tenea's sleeping bed without a sound. Tenaia didn't notice the slight noise, she was still asleep, breathing evenly.
Looking at the sleeping beauty in front of her, Luga sat gently on the edge of the bed, and Tenaia's eyes were slightly closed, and she slept deeply, like Snow White who ate an apple, or like the sleeping beauty hidden deep in the castle. Luga realized that it had been a long time since she had looked at Tenaia so quietly, especially when she was quiet, it was so beautiful and endearing.
Luga swallowed a mouthful of saliva and reached out with a slight hesitation, her trembling hands slowly touching Tenaia's face. Tenea's facial muscles twitched slightly, but she didn't wake up, and it seemed that she wasn't alert enough to the slight sensation. The delicate touch between her fingers couldn't help but make Lu Jia can't help but slowly stroke down her cheek, like caressing a piece of warm jade.
"Smack!"
This feeling finally made Tenaia subconsciously reach out, and her hand slapped hard against the back of Luga's hand.
"Who is it?"
Sensing a foreign object on her face, Tenaia snapped her senses, and she opened her eyes to see Luga's face in the dim light.
"It's me." Luga's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he opened his mouth to speak. But in the next second, he was violently pulled down by Tenaia, who hugged him tightly, and the force almost made Luga breathless.
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back!" Tenaia's face and Luga's face were pressed together, and Luga didn't know why, completely unable to understand why Tenaia was afraid that he wouldn't come back. All he could do now was reach out and hug Tenaia and comfort her, "Look, I'm not back!" ”
