Chapter 802: Andrew
"Caesar, we need to see your mercy!" Such a call made Luga turn around and see Cicedes with a drink, "Please also Caesar tell me if you can show us your justice and give him better treatment to Lord Andrew." ”
Andrew looked up at Luga, his eyes full of anticipation and questions, his eyes and expression seemed to speak, as if asking Luga, "Isn't now the best time to test our friendship?" ”
Luga watched all this with a blank face, but the real situation was indeed the aggressiveness of Cceides at the moment, which made him feel like a fish in his throat.
"I'm sorry, I have to go out for a while." Luga got up slowly, said a casual word of shirk and hurried away, walking quickly out of the gate behind him, which was guarded by the guards.
Tenaia seemed to see that Luga had something unspeakable, and likewise, Lickinia had already understood, and the two Augustas looked at each other, and then, Tenaia got up and chased after her, while Tenia reached out and clenched the glass.
Seeing such a scene, the nobles present let out a soft sigh, as if surprised, more like disappointed, they seemed to be unable to accept that Luga "escaped" at this crucial time.
Seeing that Cicedes spread his hands outstretched, he looked helpless at the others present, and it was clear that he thought that he had achieved a very great victory at this stage, and now it was up to Augustus to choose.
"Wouldn't that go too far, Sicedes?" Andrew was still a little worried, he turned his head to look at Cicedes, but Andrew's question made Cicedes disagree, his eyes were full of fascination confidence, as if everything was under his control.
I saw Cicedes holding a wine glass, leaning down slightly, and whispering to Andrew: "My friend, I can see that you are worried about something. But don't forget, stealing peace only kills all great and noble enterprising spirit, I know your troubles, look at it, your most loyal comrade-in-arms, doesn't seem to like your exploits very much, otherwise why would he choose to be silent when you need to get the reward you deserve, accept the facts, tell me that you are not willing to be so, and are not willing to be a little star next to the sun, after all, when the sun comes out, there are no stars around. ”
Andrew was silent, now his head was filled with a thirst for power, yes, he had been in obscurity for decades in a small role, and he couldn't have been willing to stop there.
"Luga! Luga! ”
Luga walked in front and Tenaia was behind, and she trotted all the way as she called out Luga's name, and it was clear that the robes were getting in her way.
Eventually, at Tenea's repeated calls, Luga stopped and looked back at Tenaia panting as she ran to her side.
Lu Jia knew what Tenaia would say next, but he still pretended to be ignorant and asked Tenaia, "What, are you here to persuade me again?" ”
"No, no, that's how it should be, Luga." Tenaia couldn't organize her language for a while, she looked at Luga, and continued: "I heard that you are a little uncomfortable, so I came out to see you." ”
Tenaia lowered her head, "It is said that you have been in poor health during this time, and you have not told me, so I am worried about you, Luga, Adernus is worried about his father. ”
"Thank you, thank you." Luga hesitated for a moment, but finally said his thanks.
"So......" Tenaia hesitated for a moment, or opened her mouth to say something?
"So, is that all?" Luga interrupted her, and Luga now looked very ugly.
"You seem to be very angry." Tenaia put her hands in front of her and hung down, her fingers twisted together fiercely, "Am I doing something wrong?" Is it because of something else that makes you so angry? ”
"I see."
"What do you know?"
"Why are you so protective of Andrew?"
"Because he's your best friend, you're fighting together, he's your most loyal partner, and the two of you supported each other to get to where you are!"
"Yes, yes! Best friend! ”
At the mention of the word friend, it was obvious that Luga was a little angry, he paced back and forth, shook his head, and said indignantly: "It is my best friend who actually sat with my enemies, and they began to attack me, and began to openly ask me for a half-official position as a reward with the help of military merits, Tenaia, Tenaia, you look at me, you tell me the truth, during this time, during the time you came to Constantinople, did I treat him badly?" But, look at him, look at him, he actually acquiesced in the blatant slander of me at the banquet by the guy who was on the political side of me. ”
"Oh my God, Caesar, Caesar!" Tenaia realized that the situation was not good, she hurriedly came up and reached out and grabbed Luga's sleeve, "I'm sorry, sorry dear, Andrew must have been bewitched, he was blinded by words, it must be like this." ”
Luga turned around, put his hand on Tenea's shoulder, and then stroked Tenaia's face with his fingers, and finally a smile finally appeared on his gloomy face, maybe he was really happy for Tenaia for forgiving and admitting his mistakes, or maybe he just wanted Tenaia not to be sad.
"I might want to go out?"
"What?"
"I'm going to go far away." Lu Jia straightened out his gorgeous clothes and whispered: "It's not easy to fight the country, and it's even more difficult to defend the country." ”
"Everyone!"
After Luga left, Lickinia picked up her glass and slowly stood up, she shouted loudly, raised her glass high, and motioned to everyone present.
The eyes of the nobles were successfully attracted by Lickineia, and Andrew looked up and saw Licinia, his face was as gloomy as that of Cicedes, and he whispered in unison: "Damn, why is this woman again." ”
"Now to celebrate that Attila can no longer be a threat to the Empire, of course, the first thing to praise is Caesar Lukuganus, who led his army to thwart Attila's invasion twice at Thermopyla. Am I right? The Honourable Andrew. ”
Everyone looked at Andrew, of course, this guy who has followed Luga for more than ten years naturally knows every step of Luga.
"Yes, Caesar is a legend, a hero who can turn the tide." Andrew naturally nodded in acknowledgement, but made Cicedes, who was on the side, look gloomy like a piece of pig iron.
"Ladies and gentlemen." The corners of Liquinia's mouth rose slightly, revealing a contemptuous smile, "The world acknowledges that immortal merit belongs to the great Barcelus, and this celebration is unique to Barcelus, Lord Cicedes, I ask you, where were you when Attila defeated the Thracian field army?" Where was Your Excellency when Attila swept through the provinces of Macedonia, and my father Augustus Theodosius was in desperate need of help? Where was your Asiatic legion when Luga led the remnants of the Thracian field army against Attila at Thermopyla? ”
"I ......"
Cicedes was speechless for a moment, admittedly, he was a bystander, and deserved to be reprimanded, he meant to watch Theodosius lose his prestige due to Attila's inability to do anything, so that he could take advantage of the situation to raise an army and enter the castle, but halfway to kill a Luga far west in Rome, which he never expected.
"So." Leekinia still raised her glass and signaled to everyone: "For Barcelus, for Flavis, for Rome, do this!" ”
"Baseleus!"
The nobles raised their glasses, only Andrew and Cicedes held their glasses with gloomy faces, and their eyes stared at Licchia with dead eyes.
