Chapter 688: Conflict
Valentinian didn't have any welcoming attitude, even if he took the initiative to salute, which Luga could understand, but how could he take care of so much in an embarrassing occasion right now.
"Oh yes, long time no see, Caesar!"
The word Caesar, Luga, deliberately said it very heavily, just to return the favor to Valentinian.
In response to Luga's return salute, Valentinian just snorted coldly, silently turned his gaze away, and deliberately did not look at Luga.
He was still vomiting, or maybe he was not done with Luga.
"Come on, come and see your uncle from afar, oh my God, I haven't seen him in a few days, come on, children, take a good look at him, remember what he looks like!"
Valentinian turned back to Eudoria and Oberia, and the two poor little girls finally came to Luga after all the struggles. Seeing that he was powerless in his struggle, the young Oberia grabbed the nanny's clothes and cried, although Yudoria did not cry, but looked at Luga with strange eyes, like looking at a monster.
God knows what kind of thoughts Valentinian instilled in the two children that made the two little ones so afraid of Luga standing in front of them.
In the end, Yudoria, who did not cry, was pushed in front of Luga as a role model for her sister, Luga leaned down slightly, and Yudoria retreated like a frightened chicken, but the arms of the nanny behind her kept preventing her from moving.
"Hello, Yudoria." Luga smiled kindly at Yudoria and greeted her very kindly, everything seemed so normal.
"Oh, good, hello."
Yudoria looked at Luga timidly, her eyes full of helplessness and fear, the eyes of a daughter looking at her father. If it weren't for his own blood and bones, he might not have anything, but Yudoria is his own child, and it is heart-wrenching that his own child looks at him with such horror.
Luga endured the displeasure in his heart, he really wanted to prove to the world that Yudoria was his daughter, but the adverse effects were very terrifying, so he had to persuade himself to stay calm.
At this time, Luga accidentally caught a glimpse of a young man behind Yudoria's nanny, who was believed to be Gasarik's son, Hunerik.
"Oh, Hunerik, it was you." Luga looked up at him, much more daring than Yudoria's retreat.
"Hello, sir."
Huneric stepped out from behind the nanny and looked at Luga with a wary look in his eyes.
Looking at Huneric, Luga was stunned for a moment, because Hunerik was too similar to his father, and this damn young man had looked like an invader since he was a child.
"I thought you were going back to your father, but I didn't expect you to be here." Luga changed the subject and continued to ask Hunerik, "What?" I think you must have felt that this place is a lot more fun than Carthage, so you chose to stay here. ”
"Quite the opposite, sir." Hunerik shook his head and said, "I'm waiting for Yudoria here. ”
"Huh? Why? ”
"Because!" Huneric looked at Licinia and replied, "We are the highest friends of Eudoria, and besides, Caesar agreed to let me marry Eudoria." After saying that, he and Yudoria looked at each other again, affectionately like a young couple in love.
This was not a good thing for Luga, his head was buzzing blank, his chest was filled with a stone to make his chest panic, he managed to suppress the anger in his heart, and then asked, "Why didn't you tell me about such an important thing?" ”
"It's an internal decision that belongs to us, and Caesar you don't know and you should be." Valentinian's angry voice rang out behind Luga.
"Oh, I see." Luga slowly straightened up, turned his head and stared at Valentinian with his eyes, his tone was low, especially the sharp eyes, which frightened Valentinian and gasped.
Luga swept around with his eyes, and looked at the courtiers and senators around him, they didn't dare to meet Luga's eyes, and lowered their heads to avoid Luga's gaze.
"Who's up to the point?"
Luga asked, but no one answered, or they didn't dare to answer at all.
"This is a serious question, gentlemen, and I ask again, in the end, who, out, this, the idea!" The words in the back were pronounced out one by one, so frightened that Yudoria behind him broke free from the nanny's hands and hid behind the nanny, and the nanny was also frightened by Luga at this time, and was shocked.
Hunerik came to Yudoria's side like a man, grabbed Yudoria's hand tightly, and made a protective appearance of her.
"Flavies. Luga, this is the rule that has been laid down for a long time. Valentinian finally remembered that he was Augustus, and he mustered up the courage to rebuke Luga again, "This is the will of my mother, Plasettia, and you have no right to disobey or even question it!" ”
"Smack!"
As soon as Valentinian's words fell, Luga slapped him with his backhand, and the slap was so loud that even the nobles who were watching not far away could hear it clearly.
"Oh my God!" The surrounding courtiers let out an exclamation, no one thought that Luga, who was still smiling just now, would be furious because of the marriage contract that Yudoria and Huneric had already agreed on, and even reached out to hit Valentinian, who was also Augustus.
Before Valentinian could come to his senses, Luga reached out and grabbed the collar of his coat and lifted him up to him, his eyes were red, and his motionless eyes seemed to burst with endless anger.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Valentinian Praetorian guards hurriedly drew their iron swords, and at this time, Andrew had already led the guards to surround Luga and Valentinian, and the two sides faced each other with swords, but Valentinian was firmly in Luga's hands at this time.
"Listen to me!" Luga leaned into Valentinian's ear and whispered to him: "Your place is just for Theodosius to fight for you, don't think that you can sit on it and look comfortable, he Theodosius can give you this position, as the heir, I can also take it back at any time, of course, the way to use it will naturally be rougher, but you can rest assured, I will reunite you with your mother, and then you can cry out to your mother about my cruelty, I don't care!" ”
These words exploded next to Valentinian's ears like thunder, Valentinian was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he had long lost the spirit of that time, maybe he was so unproductive, or maybe the appropriate reminder at this time could make him clearly understand his clearest position.
Valentinian nodded repeatedly, and a tear said that he was left in the corner of his eye, and he actually cried.
Lu Jia didn't have the slightest sympathy, but he wanted to give this poor creature a little bit of dignity, so he let go of his hand, "Wipe your tears away from me, you know to cry, useless guy!" Now it was Luga's turn to scold him.
