"Your Excellency Luga."

Hearing a call, Lu Jia Huanhuan raised his head and saw a young man in a coarse linen robe, holding a piece of parchment in his hand, his actions were very restrained, and the parchment handed over was trembling a little.

"What is this?" Luga took the parchment and asked bluntly without opening it. In exchange for the messenger's shake of his head, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, I don't know anything. The messenger dropped the words and turned and departed, apparently having his own work to do.

As the messenger departed, Luga eagerly opened the beautifully decorated parchment letter and perused its contents.

"Luga, what's written on it?" Andrew leaned over and asked.

"Valentinian, no, it's Augusta Plasettia who has held a great banquet in the palace, and now I am invited to join you with me."

"Me, and me?" Andrew pointed at himself, with an incredulous expression, you must know that he has not received a noble title until now, and he naturally does not have such good luck as Luga. As a non-nobleman, he was also invited to such a grand ceremony, which had to reflect the affirmation of the high-level for him, but it was not normal for a small guard captain to be treated so favorably.

But fate was so ridiculous that before Luga could have time to reflect and think on his own, the escort sent by Valentinian III had already stopped in front of them.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency Aetius can't wait to meet you." The soldiers at the head were dressed in purple robes and brass cuirasses, and they looked like the Praetorian Guards, but the Praetorian Guards no longer had the ability to call the wind and rain in this era, and now they are actually serving Aetius. There were more than a dozen people in their group, and there was a carriage behind them. In order to gain Luga's trust, they even handed over a letter from Aetius himself.

"Aetius?" Luga obviously felt incredulous in his heart, looking at the letter in his hand, because he had never seen Aetius write, let alone he could distinguish Aetius's notes, and to put it bluntly, the horizontal and vertical letters were the same. However, the content is that Aetius is willing to help Luga, and that he is able to understand and sympathize with Luga's misfortune.

"How does he know where I am?" Luga looked at the letter, if this was to let ordinary people see this humiliation, it would naturally be angry, but Luga swallowed this breath. At least in the face of reality, what Aetius said was true, and it didn't give Luga any chance to refute it, and he couldn't feel the mood at all.

As soon as Valentinian III's invitation arrived, Aetius's taunts and receptions followed, but Luga didn't know what was going on.

Anyway, everything seemed too weird, Luga didn't think much of it, but just followed the soldier's instructions and took Andrew into the carriage.

"Luga, don't you want to think about what Aetius will do to us?" Andrew sat next to Luga and asked in surprise, "Aren't you afraid that he will kill the killer at this time?" Don't forget that he's walked on thousands of corpses to this day, and he doesn't mind removing another stumbling block! ”

"Don't worry, my brother." Lu Jia waved his hand at him, and continued: "Since he knows that I am so down, and he knows why I am like this, his opponent seems to be unable to fight with him, so why should he trouble him again?" ”

Seeing Luga's fearless appearance, Andrew also felt as if there was really such a thing. But it was too late to persuade Luga now, for the carriage was already moving slowly.

This shook and shook for a long time, until the carriage stopped, and by this time the sound of music outside had been heard through the curtain. Such a loud music almost filled the ears of Andrew and Luga, and the two guys covered their ears and wondered what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of this guy Aetius, did they hear that Luga's soldiers had run away and had a big concert to celebrate?

"No, I was sent to the banquet." Luga said, turning to move towards the car door.

"Your Excellency, get out of the car, we're here." The Praetorian Guard soldier poked his head in and said to Luga.

"Okay, I got it!" Luga and Andrew didn't have to think about it at all, and walked straight out of the carriage. As soon as I opened the curtain, the first thing I hit in my face was the music that hit my face, and when I looked closely, I saw that the street in front of me was full of socialites in gorgeous robes, and the whole street was full of exquisite statues, and celebrities shuttled between them.

"Where is this?" Andrew looked around and couldn't help asking.

"I don't know, it may be the street of the banquet, this place is ......" Luga said and looked up to see the palace, which was on the back of the palace, Luga didn't come here often, and he really didn't know that there was such a place.

Under the steps in front of the fountain, topless musicians play music and celebrities stroll past the white marble slate floor. But Luga and Andrew were here, dressed in military uniforms, so much so that they looked out of place in this meeting.

"Oh, look at that, this seems to be Caesar's most important Luga."

"Oh, he's dressed so out of place today."

A noble couple passed by the two of them, which made Luga feel uncomfortable when he heard such words.

"Hey, hey, who is this?"

Before seeing him, he heard his voice first, Luga looked for the sound, and only saw a person wearing a red silk toga robe, wearing a laurel wreath on his head, and seeing Luga's arrival, Aetius greeted him with a smile, and the waiter behind him held a tray with three glasses of wine on it. Aetius didn't say anything as soon as he came up, but brought two glasses of wine from the tray of the waiter behind him, one to Luga, one to Andrew, and then another for himself.

Aetius laughed, but he didn't see any sarcasm on his part, but when he said it, he was full of sarcasm, and he then said to Luga: "Oh, Luga, I heard that many soldiers came out of your barracks outside Ravenna, what is the matter?" Is there some contradiction among you? Let them leave your army in a fit of rage. ”

"Yes, a big contradiction." Luga shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and then said to Aetius: "After all, they are from the Eastern Empire, and they really can't suppress their thoughts, so they go home, yes, that's it, after all, they have been with me for so long, and they should go back." ”

"No, you're not telling the truth." Aetius looked at Luga with a smug face, and said to Luga with a strange smile: "How can I see that your soldiers are returning with a full load, they are walking on the road, and the money that falls on the ground is not a small amount. I'm afraid that's why they want to go back. ”

Luga was completely speechless, he didn't know how to refute it, anyway, Aetius is teaching a lesson now, this is also a question he keeps thinking about, it must be that the conditions are too generous, so it is like this.

"Remember!" Aetius said with a serious face: "For soldiers, don't be too bad, don't be too good, the money on hand is always guaranteed to be enough to spend, not more, of course, not less." If there is more, they will be afraid of death, if there is less, they will betray, they will give as much as they want, and the rest, warm bread and good wine are better than cold Denaris, do you think I am right? Lord Luja. ”
