Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

The vast plains, endless greenery, have been connected to the wheat fields beneath the hills and mountains hidden in the distance, as well as the country roads and rivers between the scattered villages on the hills.

At the moment when he saw this scene, Alexander understood why so many people kept fighting for the land, and why Frederick took pains to seize control of the place from the Cosenza.

As the Cosenza family who was the hunter ’s identity in Roman times, this identity gave them only the glory of history, which can be used as the guardian of the grain production area of ​​the Agri River Plain. Their identity has extraordinary significance.

"How much land is there?"

Alexander asked softly, when they climbed to the peak, it was just twilight, and the gradually golden rose-like sunlight enveloped the mountain top and the entire plain below in a warm golden, this serene and quiet moment It seems to have freed the world from the hustle and bustle of the world at once. It seems that at this moment there is nothing to do with the chaos and fighting that is happening in this world.

This tranquility also affected Alexander, so that his voice could not help lowering, it seemed that he was afraid to disturb this short and unreal calm.

"I don't know," Ruosha didn't care about shaking her head. "There are probably 100,000 or 150,000 Bonnies, maybe more."

Looking at Russa's random words, Alexander could only be silent. He knew that these things were not really important for Russa. She only needed to know how important this land was to the Cosenza family, as to how much land there was. , How much food can be grown, and what can be grown, this is not her noble lady should be concerned about.

If these incidents did not happen, she should be enjoying her good life at the home of Naples or Cosenza like other noble ladies at this time, or she was in love with some of the same young nobles without riding On the horse, he even carried a sword that didn't actually do much, and ran in this rural field,

But even so, the number given by Ruo Sha still made Alexander a little shocked.

He knew that Bonnie was a method of measuring land by the French who used it. As for the size of a Bonnie, he could not remember clearly, but the guessed figure of 100,000 or 150,000 Bonnies was still there. Let Alexander feel its weight.

The key is how many such plains and fertile land are suitable for cultivation in the southern part of the Apennine Peninsula.

How can such a piece of land not be watched by countless people.

Going down the road, Alexander knew that the road was still very long. He noticed the fluctuation of Ruosha's mood. When he looked at the field below, Ruosha's eyes burst into the same excitement and waves.

"Frederick, his ambition is not small." Alexander murmured softly.

Although it was not known that the document signed by Keizer had decided to marry Zuosha and Frederick, Alexander still felt Frederick's ambition.

Although it didn't seem far away, when it was completely dark that day, they walked to a slightly flat platform near the foot of the mountain.

When I came here, I could already see some fruit and strawberry farms planted everywhere. Although they could not compare with the large farms in the distance, when they walked into the fruit gardens, they still felt like they had walked in. In the ocean.

There were dark fruit trees all around. Even the bohemian cavalry on tall horses, as soon as they walked into the shadows of those fruit trees, seemed to be swallowed silently.

Although the night at the foot of the mountain was a bit cool but not cold, Luo Sha couldn't help but hugged her body slightly.

Feeling vaguely disturbed by Rosa, Alexander and her came together side by side.

The horses were getting closer, his legs could not help rubbing Rusha's calf lightly, feeling the temperature coming, Alexander's heart could not help but a little commotion on this midsummer night.

Seemingly aware of Alexander's strangeness, Ruo Sha's body was slightly stiff, turning her head to look at him, and the light in Ruo Sha's eyes flashed slightly in the night.

"That Bohemian daughter is your wife?"

Luo Sha asked, before she had heard on the road why the Bohemians would suddenly stand on their side. When she heard that the gypsy daughter was actually Alexander's wife, Luo Sha felt inexplicable. Curiosity.

"A bohemian wife, this is really strange. Do you have any surprises, please tell me. By the way, what are you, the title given to you by the Sicilian?"

"Guardian of the lighthouse." Alexander said, only to realize that title, he suddenly realized that it was less than two months after leaving the island.

But he felt that he had left Sicily for a long time, and even for a long time he almost forgot many things he experienced there.

"Are you going to be a lighthouse guardian?" Ruosha looked at Alexander a little funny. "This is not a simple errand. I don't think you might be competent."

Alexander nodded silently. He admitted that Ruosha was right. The lighthouse was too far-reaching for the two Sicilies. Do n’t say it was him. For many people, it is well deserved to have this title. There are few in Sicily.

"So, is your wife beautiful?" Luo Sha asked again.

It was too quiet all around, except for the dull sound of the horseshoes stepping in the mud when the team was walking, only Xia Cicada's rising and falling buzzing, although walking in the middle of the team, she still felt that she could speak and drive away late at night And the uneasiness that darkness brought to her.

"She is very cute."

Alexander could only answer that, saying that a girl who was only 12 years old was pretty, which made him feel like a jerk.

"Then she's ..." Ruosha just asked to continue, suddenly remembering vaguely that Alexander's wife seemed to have disappeared, she stopped immediately.

"I will find her."

Feeling Ruosha's inquiring look, Alexander slightly urged the mount to go forward over her. The ripples that had appeared due to the summer's restlessness had disappeared at this time, and the lonelyness that had been pressed down had him floating. Suddenly no interest in talking to Ruosha.

Ruosha looked at the back of Alexander, who was gradually disappearing into the darkness, and thought a little, or urged the horse to chase it forward.

Ruosha, who was catching up, was about to speak, and suddenly there was a low crow in front.

Alexander immediately stretched out his finger against his lips and begged her not to speak. At the same time, there was a light whisper from the outpost cavalry in front of her.

The Bohemians are real warriors, and in this turbulent era warriors mean that they must fight the enemy at any time.

These enemies may be old enemies that have lasted for several generations, or they may be friends who still talked about wine yesterday.

Compared with other European countries, Bohemia is more turbulent and cruel.

So vigilance became the instinct of the Bohemians, even in such a midsummer night that could cause people to think infinitely.

The outpost cavalry's horseshoes were covered with soft cloth, so they were only discovered when they returned not far from the team.

There are two people at the outpost, both of which have a large row of things in front of their saddles. It seems that they should be two people.

"Captured the captive." A Bohemian slammed the buttocks of the man across the saddle with excitement, and there was a murmur of depression immediately.

"Woman?" Alexander asked strangely. He would be surprised to meet a woman in the middle of the night in the wilderness.

"It's a little lover of the Youhui." Another sentry threw the captive who was struggling but could only make a "whih" whisper and threw it down, looking at the man who fell on the ground but could not stand because his hands and feet were **** Man, the sentry laughed in a low voice. "They were warming up at the time, we didn't see them all when they came to them."

When she was talking, the woman had also been thrown off the horse, but she was just tied hands, so she immediately stood up and tried to run to her lover, but was blocked by the sentry.

When the smooth and sharp blade was on her face, Alexander saw the expression of horror on the woman's face in the moonlight.

"Enough." Alexander whispered, although this kind of thing was common in this era, he still didn't want to appear in front of himself.

"What's the matter with these two people?" Ruosha didn't care about the Bohemian behavior, but she was concerned about the origin of the two people. "Why would they meet in such a place?"

"Maybe there is a village nearby," Alexander looked away. Unfortunately, the dense forests and dark nights made him see nothing. "Ask them where they came from."

The woman who had evaded the Bohemian saber and ran to her lover suddenly looked up because of Alexander ’s stop. She first looked closely, and then she asked tremblingly, "Are you Miss Laza, Lasa of Kosenza?" Countess? "

Ruosha looked at the woman unexpectedly. Although she couldn't see clearly at night, she was still sure that the woman should be young, perhaps similar to her.

It's just that although she has been to the Agrig Plain several times, she never remembers knowing this woman.

"It's me, who are you?"

"Oh, Miss Count, please help me, help us." The woman immediately knelt in front of Rusha's horse and begged, but her voice was not high, it seemed to know how much movement these people did not want to cause. Alexander was a little surprised by this woman's cleverness.

"Miss, we are all from the village in front. You have been here before, I have seen you, and I was sent to the farm by the village chief to serve you, do you remember?"

Ruosha frowned and looked at the woman. She obviously couldn't remember these, but she did go to the farm with Keizer and others before, which made her have some words about this woman. A little impression.

"What are you doing at such a long distance?" Ruosha asked, looking at the young woman wearing a coarse skirt and a typical country village aunt, but looking at the young man next to her, she understood, "You are nearby In the village? "

"Yes, I am from the village, but he is not," the young woman looked at the young man, his eyes gleaming in the moonlight. "He came from Taranto, and he came here to collect the land tax."

"Taranto," Ruosha's slightly affable face immediately froze, and she looked at the young man frowning. "When can the Taranto come to Kosenza's land to collect at will?" Land tax? "

The young man seemed to be awake from the startle. He looked up and looked at Ruosha carefully. When he saw her face in the moonlight, the young man was stunned for a while before bowing. You pay tribute to Miss, I ’m the tax collector of Lord Taranto. I ’m instructed to collect the land tax for the count next season, but please do n’t get me wrong, I do n’t come to your land to collect taxes. ”

"So you are a spy?" Ruosha's face was even uglier. "Maybe I should have someone cut your head now."

"He just came to see my young lady, please forgive him." The young village girl quickly pleaded for her lover. She pulled the young man and asked him to apologize to the countess, while she knelt down and hugged her tightly in front of Rosa's mount. Ruosha's calf, "Miss, please see him forgiving him for the sake of serving you."

"This man." Alexander whispered.

"Are you going to be a good person again?" Zuosha glanced at Alexander. "As a tax collector in Taranto, he entered the land protected by my family. This is provocation."

"No, I'm not trying to stop you," Alexander said softly. "I'm reminding you that this person doesn't seem to be an ordinary tax collector like he said."

"What?" Ruosha looked at the man strangely.

"Tell me why the tax collector of Taranto would rather roll over the ground and hide something," Alexander said, pointing to the ground. "My soldiers are kind to you though they are rude, and you fall off your horse I have cut the rope that tied you up, but you still rolled it on the ground several times on purpose, and I found it strange ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Now I know that it was for this. "

Reisha looked in the direction of Alexander's finger, and saw that there was something faintly shining in the dark land under the moonlight.

"what is that?"

The sentry immediately jumped off the horse and stooped down to pick up the thing. As his hand shook, the thing immediately shook with his movements.

"Soft, what is this?"

Ruosha took the thing that the soldier handed over, and started a little twist.

"This is silk." Luo Sha looked at Alexander quite unexpectedly.

"It's silk?" Alexander asked strangely. He originally thought that this man deliberately rolled on the ground to make himself embarrassed in order to hide some secrets. But when he heard that it was silk, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

But contrary to Alexander's disappointment, Ruosha became curious when she looked at the young man.

"Who the **** are you, how could you have a silk handkerchief?" Ruosha asked coldly. "Don't lie to me. I am the daughter of the Earl of Cosenza. I have the right to deal with any violation of my family's territory, no matter who it is. people."

The young man stood there without a word, and the young woman looked at the man beside him unexpectedly because of Ruosha's words.

After a while, the young man raised his head, he looked at Ruosha's eyes, and then bowed slightly: "Please forgive me for concealing my identity, but this is just for convenience and no other purpose."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and said with a natural pride: "Miss, I am Elliott, son of Count Taranto Horsen. I am still your step-son."

As soon as the young people spoke, Ruosha couldn't help being surprised, and Alexander almost fell off immediately.

Since when did I have such a large nephew.
