Chapter 337: Positioning
"Levi must be here, Levi must be here!"
During this time, Luga was constantly sending people to search around the palace, and he almost grasped the detailed joy and whereabouts of most of the people in the Augustus Guard, that is, the accompanying Praetorian Guard, but this Levi had never seen him since Luga felt his presence when he entered the city.
As if the world had evaporated, he disappeared out of thin air under Luga's nose. Now in such a humble situation, looking for Levi's traces is like looking for a needle in a haystack, time passes minute by minute, Valentinian has become extremely enthusiastic during this time, no matter what the activity, big or small, as long as Valentinian wants to go, Luga must follow him, not leaving an inch. Luga also had to admit that Valentinian, the wayward Augustus, was not a good king or even a good husband, because Aetius himself and his bureaucrats were in charge of the housekeeping, and the only thing he had to worry about was to beware of Aetius, for fear that this dictator would usurp power. Now that he had Luga and Licchinia, he could rest assured that he was under the cover of Theodosius II all the time.
"Life is short, be happy in time!" This is probably his life creed, for the pregnant Licinia, he doesn't care at all, even though Lickinia once fascinated him, but after all, the boss is not small, and Leekinia's indifferent attitude towards him naturally makes Valentinian understand. Even if he has different dreams in the same bed, it is better to have some fun by himself, but fortunately, now he thinks of Luga, which can give him the guarantee of Augustus's position, so he naturally wants to try his best to win him over. This is probably what his mother Platicia meant, after all, this far-thinking woman can't just let Luga go, even if Luga leads the legion to the ends of the earth, Platitia has to establish contact with Luga all the time, because of Aetius.
Valentinian looked extremely relaxed, of course, the guards on his left and right were the Praetorian Guards in purple equipment, but they were all unfamiliar faces, and he couldn't see Levi at all. Every time he returned to the barracks, because Sebastianus and Andrew were in charge of this matter, so every time he came back, Luga had learned to look at their faces, and his brows were tightly knit like him, which meant that there was no play, of course, Luga had never seen the two of them brow stretch every time he came back.
"Could it be that Levi has returned to Aetius?" Luga was so suspicious that every night he dragged his tired body back to the barracks, and the information on the table Levi was always blank. This man, as if he had never appeared, because his disappearance had no effect on everyone, and life was still going on as usual, and no one in the city of Rome was affected by his disappearance. If there was one, it would have to be Luga, who was eager to mobilize an entire army to search Rome from house to house, but he could not do so, leaving only daily disappointment and new hope for tomorrow.
"Do you want to make a confession, for Valentinian." Luga's heart was like ashes, and after feeling that everything was impossible, he looked at the dim light of the fire and muttered to himself.
The next day, a month after Luga's arrival in Rome, in the morning, Valentinian's envoy naturally arrived as promised, as if he had specially asked Luga to get up, and now Luga had a new job, that is, to become Valentinian's playmate, to accompany him everywhere in the huge city of Rome, either in the baths, or in the Colosseum, or in the major squares, and no matter how bad it was, he rode on horseback and followed the Praetorian Guard on foot and wandered aimlessly through the streets of Rome. In any case, there is no better place than the royal palace that is second to none in the city of Rome, at least not the old woman who rambles all day long, and the bastard woman who has a cold face at the sight of him. Yes, these are Valentinian's exact words, which shows how deep his resentment is against this family!
"Kai, Caesar!" As if with great courage, Luga called out to Valentinian as if he had made a mistake as a child and wanted to confess to his teacher.
"What's wrong? My nephew! Valentinian used the name that made Luga mad again, and now after more than a month of torture, Luga also saw it, anyway, such a day will always be a head, when the time comes to go to the Great Sequanoren Tiangao Emperor Far away, see what he Valentinian called, call? Joke!
"Uh, I'm just very curious!" Lu Jia breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this time he can't be sloppy, all the key is to look at the struggle this time! Luga straightened his mind and stopped his mouth from trembling, and then said unhurriedly: "If I remember correctly, I haven't seen your chief of guard, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, His Excellency Levi, since I met you, Caesar. In other words, His Excellency Levi should have been responsible for protecting Caesar, so he had to stay an inch, why has it been so long, he has not appeared by Caesar's side, in this way, will it make Augustus you in an unsafe situation? ”
"Oh, you said that damn guy!" After Luga mentioned Levi, Valentinian couldn't help but snort coldly, such an attitude was enough to show his absolute disdain for Levi.
"It seems that the work of His Excellency Levi did not satisfy Caesar from the bottom of his heart." Seeing Valentinian's clear attitude, Luga naturally knew it, so he became bolder, is it okay, help Caesar scold this bastard a few words, as long as Caesar is happy, then where Levi is, it is not a matter of minutes.
"That guy, I've never been happy since I became my Praetorian Guard officer, as long as he's around me I'm not happy, I always feel like there's a pair of eyes staring at me, you know, Luga, my nephew, oh, you must not feel that way, because I'm probably the only one in the entire empire who feels like this, oh, damn fellow! ......" What Lujia never expected was that with such a small provocation, the resentment would come like a flood that had burst the embankment, and Lujia would be overwhelmed by the surging water.
"Hey, hey, I'm not interested in knowing!"
Although on the surface, he said yes with a smile on his face, but he couldn't help screaming in his heart: You Augustus can't talk slowly one by one according to the plan, what you say is completely meaningless, at least for me!
But how could Valentinian casually restrain his inner dissatisfaction without organization, he might have seen that Levi unaccustomed to it, but Aetius was behind Levi, not only him, but even Queen Regent Pracitia naturally didn't dare to get rid of this damn guy casually.
"Since Caesar is so angry with this bastard, then you might as well tell me where he is, and my nephew will help you clean up this unknown bastard!" As Valentinian became more and more angry, Luga took the opportunity to ask.
"Him! Hmph, that bastard said he was sick and was going to Ludinan to recuperate! You said that you are a tall man who is as strong as a cow and gets sick at every turn, and if you can't stay in Ravenna, you have to go to Ludinand, and I don't know why? But it's okay, fuck off, I'll be easy! ”
"So to speak! Levi, in Ludinand! "It's like a long drought and nectar, this news makes Luga's eyes shine, it can really be said that there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!
Valentinian nodded slightly, now it's okay, Luga can't wait.
"Then if Caesar is so resentful of this guy, I'll leave now to get rid of this damn Levi and put out the fire for Caesar!"
Before Valentinian could say anything, Luga had already galloped away into the next intersection. No matter how much Valentinian called, he couldn't call Luga back.
"Strange." Valentinian scratched his head and said, "I guess it's not so positive." ”
"Andrew! Andrew! Come out. ”
As soon as he rushed into the barracks, Luga jumped off his horse, and his feet hurt after he landed, and he rushed all the way to the command room in the barracks. At this time, Andrew and Sebastianus were still sorting out various materials.
"Don't fix all this useless anymore!" Luga rushed in and knocked the parchment off their hands.
"Hey, Luga, what are you doing here?" Seeing that the clues he had fortunately sorted out were knocked to the ground by Luga, Andrew was naturally angry and wanted to theorize.
"Levi, Levi!" Lu Jia said breathlessly: "I found Levi, pack it up now, let's go!" ”
