Chapter 659: Rescue

Seeing the fire engulf Valentinian's tent, Levi could even imagine Valentinian struggling and screaming inside.

"Verus! Verus save me! ”

Valentinian was shouting for help in his tent, and at that moment, he heard the horn of attack sounding in the barracks of Luga not far away.

On this quiet night, the sound of such a trumpet was particularly harsh, and the torches in the Luga barracks were seen surging and converging into a torrent of flames.

"My lord, Luga's army is here!" The soldier ran to report to Levi, who put his hands on the hilt of his sword and took off his helmet, revealing his sweat-stained and reflective face.

Levi did not rush to reply to the soldier's report, he just quietly watched the Lugar army getting closer and closer, and looked at the huge Augustus's tent that was still screaming, and the flames that soared into the sky were already as dazzling as the stars that had fallen into the mortal world.

"Now the whole barracks are watching what we're doing, my lord." The sergeant beside him was still respectful to Levi, "It's just that now we have to leave, and Lord Litollo specially instructed not to let too many people see it." ”

"It's really a crazy plan." Levi pursed his lips and shrugged his shoulders, "It's undoubtedly a bold idea for Litollo to do this, and of course, he thinks he's chosen a qualified scapegoat. ”

As he spoke, Levi pulled out the iron sword stuck in the soil, and in the face of the approaching torrent, he sighed lightly and turned to leave.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to turn his head and glared fiercely at the burning tent, and said viciously: "I really hope that this fire can turn you bastard to ashes!" ”

The soldiers who arrived late under the command of Luga opened the burning tent and braved the fire to rescue Valentinian, who was about to lose consciousness.

Valentinian was unconscious, looking like he was in a coma caused by being overly frightened and then inhaling exhaust fumes. Luga took him to a high ground and gave Valentinian artificial respiration despite the strange eyes of the others.

"Oh my God! OMG! ”

Awakened, Valentinian coughed loudly and lay on the ground, gulping for air, finally feeling better.

When I looked up, the first thing I saw was Luga.

"What's wrong with me?" Valentinian asked, "Oh my God, someone is trying to assassinate me, my God, it's terrifying!" ”

"Yes, Caesar."

Compared to Valentinian's distraction, Luga seemed very calm, "I saw a fire that soared into the sky, which was enough to light up the entire barracks, and now there is no one in the entire army who does not know that you have been assassinated." ”

"Oh my!" Valentinian sighed, holding his head and letting out a long sigh, "Then you must have saved me, am I right, Luga." ”

"It can only be said that Caesar has the blessing of God, and such a big fire did not hurt Caesar in the slightest."

"Yes, I am the only Augustus in Rome blessed by the heavens!" Valentini soothed his swollen head and shook his head with a wry smile: "But even so, there are still people who are ready to move on to my current position, what a bunch of treacherous bastards!" ”

At this time, seeing the light of the fire and hearing the news of Valentinian's attack, Aetius led his guards to hurry towards this side. By this time, the dilapidated tent had been surrounded by Luga's army.

"What's going on? What happened? Aetius looked hurried and arrived at the scene only to be stopped by the soldiers who were guarding him.

"It seems that he came in such a hurry, he must have wanted to see if Valentinian had risen." Looking at Aetius from afar, Luga secretly thought in his heart, no matter what, if he could assassinate Valentinian in such a grand manner, then this person must be extraordinary, so Luga could only think of him.

"What are you doing here? Lord Aetius. Luga walked straight up and questioned Aetius, "Could it be that Your Excellency came in such a hurry just to see if Augustus was dead before making the next move?" ”

"This is complete slander, Lord Luga!" Behind Aetius, Therius stepped forward to refute Luga's rude words.

"Oh?"

Lu Jia sneered: "Then how did I hear that this group of enemies is coming from your military camp, our two sides are clearly divided, and it can even be said that they are separated by a side wall, and it is impossible for my soldiers to pass through your lord's territory from us." ”

"Oh, yes, yes, Lord Luga."

Aetius sighed softly as he spoke, and then said to Luga, "Listen, Lord Luga, I know none of this makes sense to me, but now I swear to God that this matter has nothing to do with me!" ”

"Whatever you say, Lord Aetius!" There was a clear distrust in Luga's eyes. "This matter has nothing to do with you."

"Casual slander is afraid that it will make the conspirators snicker behind their backs." Aetius was extremely calm at the moment, he did not ask for Luga's trust, and he did not intend to do so.

But now the two armies are almost facing each other, and even if all this is indeed what Aetius did, it is impossible for Luga, who is also a soldier commander, to do anything to him.

Luga could only feel Aetius looking at the flame burning behind him, his eyes burning as well.

"Your Excellency Luga, I am very sorry for this, and of course, this is the end of all meaningless arguments."

He turned to go back, only to see Litollo behind him, who stood there as if nothing had happened. The excesses was so calm that Aetius was puzzled, and he paused for a moment, then looked up at Littorius and was silent for a long time.

Littollus was unimpressed by Aetius' questioning gaze, daring to look at Aetius to prove that he knew nothing about it.

Aetius quickly withdrew his gaze, he was now very confused, not knowing what to do, and likewise, he had the same idea as Luga, that is, who had done it.

Now look at Litollo, and his composure may be the biggest problem.

But Aetius had no evidence, and he didn't understand Litoreus's possible intentions, so he simply let it go, at least Augustus was not really killed.

"What, did the real culprit escape?" Looking at Aetius's distant back, Andrew sneered beside Luga.

"Maybe we're wrong." Luga shook his head and said, "Maybe he's hiding something, it's not clear. ”
