Chapter 161: Confrontation
Silence returned to the hall, as everyone stared intently at Arecio, at his face by the firelight.
The dim, hazy glow of the flame does not affect our ability to look at his face.
"My God!"
Time seemed to stand still, and in silence I heard Andrew's admiration. Yes, amazing. If you put him in front of a Hahan woman, the girl would definitely scream and faint, not fear, but excitement, it was really a peerless face. I'm sorry, I really can't describe his appearance, I really can't describe it in words, I always feel that the language description will be flawed.
"The stones are like jade, and the pines are like emeralds. Lang Yan is unique, and there is no other in the world. ”
I did not dare to say much about the praise, but I just looked at him quietly, and did not dare to think about it, otherwise I would be extremely beautiful and complain about God's injustice, and would not be able to give me the same appearance as him.
However, the fly in the ointment is that his flawless cheeks are not only a somewhat sickly pale because he has not gone out to see the sun for a long time, but more importantly, there is a very conspicuous cut on his face, which is located on the right side of his cheek, and the scar is very obvious and ugly, like a long, thick flesh-colored worm lying on his face. This seriously affected his appearance, which may be why he wore a mask.
After only a dozen seconds, Arecio immediately put the brass mask back on.
"Alright, as you wish, Aurius. Luga. Arecio put the mask back on his own face, and his voice was muffled by the brass mask again. Thank you for the compliment, but if you're just flattering, I'd like to say I'm not useful. Arecio chuckled dryly, then turned back to his seat.
"I have to tell you, Mr. Luga, and Mr. Andrew." Arecio's tone instantly became serious, and he sat down again, returning to his languid appearance. "The fat man who escorted you is indeed my subordinate, but he has not returned yet, and he is obviously going to leave long before you, at least enough time for him to run to a safe distance. However, even you have returned, but he has not returned, and we have to start redefining his identity. ”
At this time, I am still analyzing who is undercover in a hurry, I am afraid that in such a big world, only Arecio can calm down.
"Your Excellency the Governor, I'm afraid now is not the time to discuss this matter." I was reminding him, or rather, I was indirectly warning him, because everyone present at the moment didn't understand what was going on outside. Maybe it's good, maybe it's bad, no one can say for sure, maybe in the next second, the soldiers of Bagunda will start beating with their axes and stones on the heavy wooden door.
"No, no, no, it's very necessary, Aurius. Mr. Luga! Arecio lazily propped his face with his right arm, tilting his head sideways, and his gaze took away from us and gradually turned to the heavily armed soldiers on either side of the wooden table. This is my most elite warrior, and I believe that each and every one of them will stand up and stop and kill all enemies who come when danger comes, until they fall to the ground from exhaustion. ”
He stretched out his hand to introduce the dozens of heavily armed soldiers standing on either side of the wooden table, and the soldiers also responded, and they couldn't help but puff out their chests in response to Arecio's compliment.
"I crave their loyalty, you know, Mr. Luga, and Mr. Andrew, just as you are loyal to Aetius." At the mention of Aetius, Arecio couldn't help but sigh heavily, and said with a complaining tone in his tone: "I really don't know where that guy died now, I have given him a full ten days, even with his delicate body, it will not be so long without any movement." ”
"What if he doesn't come." I said it casually, and I was amazed at what I said.
"What? What did you say? "Arecio obviously didn't hear clearly, he stared at me with wide eyes, and jerked to his feet, almost climbing onto the table." Mr. Luga, what did you just say? ”
Seeing that I really couldn't escape, I gritted my teeth, thinking that this disfigured beautiful man shouldn't be a cautious person, and I think he can understand it when I say that.
Then I raised the decibel level of my voice and said to him, "Maybe Aetius didn't mean to come?" In other words, he doesn't have any idea of helping you at all! ”
"Hey, Luga, what are you talking about, Marshal Aetius can't be like that!" Before Arecio could react, Andrew was the first to protest, but he also lowered his voice and whispered his displeasure to me.
"I just said what I thought, Andrew, Aetius's rebellion to suppress the Burgundians can already make him fame and fortune, and now highlighting another loser will make his greatness and irreplaceable even more!"
"No, Luga, you're lying!" Andrew said, glaring at me, but for the sake of the bigger picture, he quickly reverted to his old self, turned his head, and stopped talking to me.
"Well, very well-founded, Mr. Luga."
Arecio was stunned for a few seconds, and finally spoke again, but it was not difficult to see from his slightly sighing tone that he no longer had any expectations for Aetius' reinforcements.
"But I have a question, two." Arecio straightened up again and asked the two of us, "Since you expect that your commander Aetius will not come to reinforce you, what does Aetius mean by sending you both, or are you not sent by him at all?" ”
These words made me gasp, I didn't expect my words to expose the identities of the two of us, and I scolded myself again and again in my heart while pretending to be calm, "Liu Ende, Liu Ende, why can't you control your own mouth, now it's okay, let this beautiful man catch it, what to do, what to do." ”
I smiled at the crowd in front of me and Arecio, maybe I was the only one who knew that this was to hide the uneasiness and fear in my heart at this time, if Arecio continued to speculate, it would be very detrimental to me and Andrew, and not only would we both lose our efforts, but also make me and Andrew become dead souls.
No, I breathed a sigh of relief, and instantly cleared my thoughts in my mind, I continued to look at Arecio with a smile, and said slowly: "As we all know, oh, no, it should be said that only the people of the Fourteenth Twin Legion know, and the two of us often contradict Aetius because of the suspicion of the issuance of military orders, you know, Aetius is a cautious man, and Changchang holds a grudge for some disobedience to his orders, I think it must be. So Andrew, I and I, have been at the forefront of the battle, and it must have been Etius who wished we both died. But it's a pity, fortunately, with the blessing of God, we can escape death every time, and Aetius can't execute the two of us casually, so he sent the two of us here, all of this must have such intentions, but Aetius laid it out a long time ago, borrowing the weapons of the slaves of Bagorda, to eradicate his least favorite bastard! ”
"Oh, you're saying that I'm just as disgusted by Aetius as you are?" Arecio pointed to himself and asked me with interest. The sharp eyes gradually eased, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in my heart, thinking that I had finally been fooled.
"Oh, no, Lord Doge, I'm just saying that Aetius hated us both and sent them." I hurriedly explained.
"So what you mean is that I'm a person who doesn't live long?"
Damn, where did so many questions come from, I was stunned, this guy Arecio is like an arrogant and unreasonable shrew, no matter how he can find a reason, he can embarrass me, and I am at a loss for a while!
