"Oh!" Aetius let out a soft cry, stopped in front of the tent, turned around and said to Luga apologetically: "I'm very sorry, I was in a hurry to get acquainted with you, but I forgot that I brought a distinguished guest, my God, look at my memory, I almost forgot him!" ”

As he spoke, he turned and pointed behind Luga, who looked in the direction he was pointing. Another carriage slowly drove into the camp gate, but this posture was much more low-key than that of Aetius, and ten horsemen crowded around the car. They are still exclusive slaves, as stools for the powerful to get off the car, and they have always been so, and the lowly thoughts that have been forcibly indoctrinated make them feel that they are the right to do what they do.

A conservatively dressed, wearing a white toga with a red cloth belt, he looked old, his hair was gray, but his straight figure looked like he was getting old and strong, the only difference from his tough body was that he frowned from the moment he got out of the car, as if he was thinking about some complicated problem. No matter how much he praised his disobedience, he still carried a cane, but this cane was straight, like a flag, with a golden spear tip above his head and a golden sign hanging underneath.

"S.P.Q.R" Luga whispered the lettering on the sign, and was surprised to realize that it was the Senate sign.

"Senate." Luga whispered to himself that he felt a little bit of a bad feeling, because the presence of the Senate was enough to show that they would also be involved. According to their extremely ambiguous relationship with the Vandals at the beginning, they did not even get the consent of Augustus when they took over the vassal states, and they came to Luga's military camp at such a critical juncture, which Luga did not want to see anyway.

"What is he doing here?" Luga asked Aetius in a whisper.

"Oh, the Senate, I heard that you have besieged Gaisaric to death, and I have come to offer condolences on behalf of the Senate. Commend you, the guests of the Eastern Empire, for their exploits! Aetius laughed, afraid that the old fellow would hear him, so he lowered his voice and told Luga.

"Welcome, my staunch supporter." Seeing the old man standing under the car, Aetius stretched out his arms and hurried forward and shouted loudly.

When the old man saw Aetius, his frown instantly relaxed, and he cracked his mouth, revealing his mutilated gums, and the wrinkles on his face were even more wrinkled, as if the difficult problems that had just been haunting him had been solved in an instant, or that he had temporarily put aside these problems and began to act, of course, politicians were excellent actors.

"Oh my God, thank God, thank God!" The senator also opened his arms and hugged Aetius as he approached him. The two of them seemed to be in perfect harmony, which made Luga feel that something was wrong.

"I thought you forgot that I was behind you, I was just very lost, my friend." The senator held Aetius' hand tightly and refused to let go, his tone full of apologies. "But I apologize to you, my friend......"

"If you apologize, save it for later!" Aetius wrenched his hand from the senator's grasp, and as a gesture of kindness, he put his hand on the senator's shoulder, making it seem that they were intimate.

Luga casually noticed a hint of disgust on the patriarch's face, and he clearly hated the act or rather Aetius himself. However, he quickly restrained his disgusted expression and replaced it with a very easy-going smile, which made Lu Jia's admiration fall to the ground, and the patriarch perfectly restrained his emotions.

"Oh, you're Flavis. Is Luga, the adopted son of Augustus of the Eastern Empire? The senator walked up to Luga, paused, looked at Luga with a smile, and said, "Hello, my name is Remitius, a member of the Senate for life. ”

"Remitius!" Hearing the name, Luga's whole body was stunned, and he froze in place, his mind blank.

Remitius, a figure of hearsay, came from the mouth of Arecius, who was once a staunch supporter of Berniface, and it was his witty words that forcibly pulled Arecio, the treasurer of the empire, into the chariot of Berniface, and made a move when Berniface was defeated, and became a staunch supporter of Aetius as the victor. It's not that he doesn't have a position, but he's too smart, and he's always been able to maneuver in political struggles and stay invincible. Lu Jia never imagined that such an extremely dangerous figure ten years ago would be standing alive in front of him at this moment.

"Hello!" Luga came to his senses and hurriedly saluted. Before he could fully recover his senses, Luga's right hand was grabbed by Remitius. I heard Remitius smile and say to Luga: "I heard that you are a great hero, who defended Great Sicily for Rome, and I pay tribute to you, a young and promising man." Of course, the next question is up to us to talk about it! ”

Before Luga could nod his head, Remitius had already dragged him into the tent with him.

Fortunately, Luga had prepared for it, so that Aetius and Remitius saw a table full of food as soon as they entered. This made the two of them happy, and even Qualuja was worthy of being the adopted son of Augustus, and he thought about it thoughtfully. He said that after a day's journey, it was a time when he was hungry, but now he has food and wine, so that he can sit down and talk while eating! Luga listened to the laughter of the two of them, just laughing, but didn't know what to say.

The three of them sat down, and the captain of the guard of the two of them stood behind them, and Andrew, because he was mentally unwell, asked Luga to send someone to take him down early. There were quite a few guards standing behind Luga, so it didn't make much of a difference.

"First of all," Remitius opened up after the first sip of his wine, and he said to Luga, "the Senate has heard that you have come thousands of miles to solve the urgent needs of the Empire, so the Senate has specially asked me to come and announce that the Senate has recognized the noble title of Your Excellency Flavis. And in Rome, we have also prepared a mansion for your Excellency, and the hero must also have a place to live! ”

"Ha, I don't have such treatment at this age, Lord Luga, you have proved that you are a very capable person, a true pillar of the empire!" Aetius responded with him.

A discerning person can tell at a glance that this is nothing more than a fool's lip service, because the surname Flavies is the surname of the royal family, and only Augustus himself or the regent Augusta can identify a person or a surname. But the mansion is a really good thing, and I don't know what it looks like, Luga still smiled and responded, and he was also thinking hard about what it meant that Remitius fed a candy first!

"Now, let's talk about Gaisarik!" As soon as Remitius's words changed, everyone present and even Aetius couldn't help but straighten up, and everyone waited quietly for the old man to see what kind of opinions he had about the plan to encircle and annihilate the Vandals.
