Finally, at the beginning of November, Augustus drove back to Constantine.

Here, as when Luga left, the gates of Constantinople were opened for him by guards who were in charge of guarding the gates.

Everything was as quiet and peaceful as if nothing had happened, the citizens lived their carefree lives as usual, and everything was as if nothing had happened.

Of course, these citizens didn't realize that such a thrilling thing had happened before.

On the next journey, Luga didn't say too much to Likinia, after all, this woman who was close to madness would make Lujia angry if he continued to talk like this, of course, he had to admit that Luga's current physical state could no longer allow him to argue with Likinia.

Outside the gate of the Flavi Palace, the soldiers who had been stationed here were patrolling back and forth in front of the palace gate, and when they saw Luga's car, everyone immediately seemed to wake up in their sleep, and hurried to the city gate to assemble, they lined up in two rows, holding shields and spears, and watched Luga's car slowly come to the palace gate.

At this time, Malenius also ran out of nowhere, and he quickly arranged his clothes and set himself up near the city gate.

As if in mind, Luga's carriage passed slowly and stopped in front of Malenius.

The curtains of the car slowly opened, revealing Lugana's somewhat pale face, who looked down at Malenius, who looked down at his feet.

"Heads up, General!" Luga said slowly.

Malenius looked up and met Luga's eyes.

"During the time I'm away, there's not much interesting news in town."

"Unfortunately, Caesar, there is!" Malenius nodded heavily, "Except for some chaos, the situation is still under absolute control, the situation has calmed down, and it's all over!" ”

Malenius said this, but Luga's face was still heavy, he looked at Malenius for a long time and did not speak, behind Luga was Licchia, she heard the conversation between the two and followed.

It could be seen from her surprised face that Liekinia also wanted to know how this matter was going, and she leaned over and heard a few words, but she could not get any information from it in her favor.

"Whose problem is it?" Luga asked.

"This ......," said Marenius, looking left and right, and then said to Luga, "I'm afraid it's very inconvenient to say it here, Caesar." ”

"Okay, I see!" Luga sighed softly, then pulled the curtain down, and the last thing Marinius saw was Licchinia's red eyes.

"When did he come?" Lyquinia asked Luga in the carriage, pointing in the direction of Malenius.

"After we're gone." Luga said disapprovingly: "Likinia, don't think that you are the only one who is using your brain, other people, including me, even if I am now suffering from the devastation of the disease, but I am also thinking. ”

"Are you on guard against something?" Lykinia asked bluntly.

"Of course I'm on the alert!" Luga replied decisively, "What you are worried about, I am also worried, what you guard, I am also on guard, but I am not as decisive as you." ”

In the dungeons of Constantinople, there is no sun in sight, only endless darkness and dampness, and the only living things that can be seen are jailers, prisoners, and rats.

There was a strong smell of decay in the air, and it was full of garbage and filthy water, which was not at all inhabitable, and of course the prisoners did not need to worry about this, and they were not in a position to ask for more.

With the sound of chains shaking, the iron door of the dungeon slowly opened with the cooperation of several soldiers.

Then the warden nodded all the way and led Lu Jia in, and as soon as he entered the gate, a rotten smell came to his nose, which made Lu Jia frown, and the accompanying courtiers and even the guards couldn't help frowning, and they still stayed away from such a smell.

Malenius handed Luga a handkerchief dipped in flowers, and Luga took it and held it to his mouth and nose, and then walked in after the warden.

The jailer lit every corner with torches, and the light of the fire gave life to the lifeless place.

Behind the bars of each prison was crowded with all sorts of prisoners, who were clinging to the bars, staring at all this in wonder with wide, cloudy eyes, after all, it was the first time in thousands of years that someone could come in and visit.

Of course, the guys soon saw Luga's gorgeous clothes through the firelight, and they all knew that this was not a casual little person, and everyone crowded into the iron fence and watched Luga silently watch him slowly walk under the guidance of the warden.

"They're all the ones in Constantinople who have committed serious crimes!" The warden said cautiously: "Insulting noble women, stealing a lot of wealth from nobles, and murdering, all criminals who deserve to die will be imprisoned here anyway." ”

Listening to the warden's introduction, Luga was silent, he didn't look left and right, and saw these unkempt prisoners in the light of the fire and their tormented and skinny bodies.

Eventually, the warden led Luga to the deepest cage, which was full of torture instruments and dripping with blood, and there was not a "squeak" sound in the darkness, but rats smashing into pieces, foraging under the cover of darkness.

"The man you want to see is here, Caesar!"

The warden pointed to a wooden cell door, and the jailer guarding the door opened the door and entered with a torch in hand, lighting up the small space.

There is a field of hay on the ground, and you can hear the rustling sound when you walk on it.

Through the firelight, Luga saw John in captivity. Antiochus, he was dressed in a shabby robe, his clothes were torn to the ground, there was a faint blood stain on his exposed skin, the blood formed a bloody scab on his clothes, his hands were chained, his feet were even more so, his eyes were closed, and his heavy breathing could be heard in the quiet space.

His face was so pale that it was not difficult to see what kind of punishment he had received before that.

"What kind of sin do you define him?" Luga turned to the warden.

"Treason." Without hesitation, the warden replied, "Caesar, it is treason." ”

Hearing this, Luga shook his head slightly.

At this time, a jailer came forward and looked at John. Antioch's white, bruised face was slapped heavily.

"Smack!"

The crisp sound echoed through the cell, but John didn't move, he still hung his head, as if the blow had no effect on him at all.

Seeing John like this, the jailer's face showed a hint of fierceness, and he saw him hold the leather whip in his hand and raise it again.

"Enough!"

Luga scolded the jailer and quickly turned his head to look at Luga.

"Stop it." Luga's tone seemed so calm that the jailer hurriedly withdrew his whip and saluted Luga slightly.

"Get out, let me be alone with this guy for a while, you wait outside."

Luga commanded, and Malenius walked out of the cell with the warden, leaving only Luga and John.
