Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

On a large table, there are piles of books, rosters, and various documents left over from the farm.

Luo Sha sat at the table and looked at the documents, and sometimes she would pick up other documents to compare with each other, and sometimes she would recalculate some numbers.

The table was lit with candles, and the swaying light cast Ruosha's figure on the wall. The figure lightly flicked with the evening wind blowing in from the window.

This is a midsummer night that is not very hot but will still disturb the heart. The slightly smoked wind is very comfortable on the body, but it will also be anxious because of the warmth of the wind.

When Alexander walked into the room, he saw such a beautiful view.

A young girl wearing a burlap long skirt of a farmer's woman, but very beautiful, tied two braids behind her head to completely tie the thick gold head from the root of the hair, and the scattered long hair hung down to cover the entire back. Her left elbow is supported on the table, her left hand is against the chin, and it seems that she is suffering from a difficult problem, and a quill pen in her right hand is constantly writing on the paper, making a rustling sound.

The light was shining on her side face, and the half-light and half-dark light set off the outline of her face more clearly and clearly. When she frowned slightly because of a certain problem, it seemed that the whole room was dimmed with her bad mood. When she finally solved the problem, she raised her lips slightly, showing an intoxicating smile, and everything seemed to be better for a while.

Alexander leaned on the door frame and carefully looked at this picture-like beauty. He believed that if the scene at this time was seen by today's great painter masters, he would definitely freeze this beautiful moment on their picture scroll. In this era There may be a lack of food, but there is no shortage of art masters who are willing to find inspiration and describe beauty.

They can make Ruosha's image be passed down to the world from now on, and even become an idol that intoxicates countless people many years later, just like the well-known Lisa Qiao Gongdo of the later generations. It has been almost forgotten, but the image portrayed by Da Vinci's magical giant hands on the canvas has become the most valuable and most difficult "female" in the eyes of countless collectors.

Just thinking of this, Alexander suddenly felt that there should not be such a portrait. He did n’t want to share the beauty of Ruosha at this moment with others, let alone let others see this beauty. He only hoped that such Ruosha now belongs to His own "private possession".

"It seems that I have to learn painting myself." Alexander murmured to himself.

His slight noise caught the attention of Ruo Sha. The girl who was immersed in her work looked up because she was disturbed. Seeing it was Alexander, her frowned eyebrows slowly opened: "I thought it was Burleigh Or maid. "

In the farm, a maid was arranged for Ruosha to serve her. It happened that this maid was the wife of the hunter Carlo on the farm.

"Berelli should still be patrolling the farm." Alexander shook his head a little helplessly. Although the conflict between the Bereri and the Bohemians had calmed down during the day, the hostility between the two sides was not reduced at all, even though Rosa borrowed This incident immediately announced that the payment to the Bohemians paid to appease the mercenaries, but things did not calm down.

Burelli seemed dissatisfied with Ruosha's decision. He excused him to visit the farm and refused the invitation to eat the first dinner in the farm together. Instead, he took two elderly villagers and started wandering around.

Carlo was supposed to be the best at this kind of thing. As a hunter, Carlo knew almost everything in the vicinity, but when Zuo Sha announced that Carlo could get a field that Alexander promised to him before, Burelli even Carlo's face didn't want to see it.

In fact, it ’s not just Carlo. The villagers who have participated in the defense farm have received the promised fields. Although they have suffered a lot after they were caught, even two people have been ordered to hang on by the tax collector. On the frame beam at the entrance of the farm, their family still got the promised fields, and even Luo Sha let the two poor people's wives and children kiss her hand to express their gratitude.

All this made Ruosha quickly received the support of everyone on the farm, and even some villagers were already shouting "Long live Countess", and this cheer obviously had the meaning of others calling her "Miss Count Cosenza" before. Different.

Even the Bohemians thought that this lady was indeed a generous and generous person, and the generous rewards they got for their long journey this time made them ride the horse with satisfaction and ran around the farm with cheers .

Alexander walked over to the table and looked at the documents on the table full of various writing. He tilted his head to look at Ruosha.

Coincidentally, at this time, Ruosha was also looking up at him. Under the light, her straight nose bridge showed a little shadow on the cheek on the other side, and the facial features appeared more vivid and clear.

"I'm a poor man." Zuosha said, "I have no money. Except for what you promised to the villagers, all the things stored in the entire village have been given to the Bohemians, the Agrig Plain Although there are so many fields on the site, our family is not ours. The Cosenza family is just the guardian of this plain. We can only get a tax from it. Now I do n’t even have a florin in my hand. I am bankrupt. Now. "

After talking, she looked at Alexander seriously, as if to see something on his face.

"It's bankrupt, this is really too bad," Alexander shook his head. He actually knew from the beginning that it would be such a result, but in order to capture Agry, he had to do it at all costs. "It seems that if you If you want to use this farm as a dowry, there should be no nobles or counts willing to marry you. "

"Unless they are idiots," Ruo Sha picked up a stack of thick documents on the table and shook them at Alexander. "If they see the names of the people signed or the circles painted, they will know they belong to our family. Almost all of my own farm produce has been distributed to the villagers. Apart from being able to get a pitiful farm rent, I have really nothing. Marrying me like this is not a good deal for them. "

With that, Ruosha blinked her eyes slightly mischievously.

"Then don't get married?" Alexander sat down slowly, the meadows on the ground were rough, his legs moved, and he accidentally touched Rusha's feet.

Ruosha's feet flinched backwards, then suddenly stepped on Alexander's legs hard, and then she stood up from the chair and sat against the table side by side with Alexander.

"Who would marry a girl who has no money and no status? Although I think I look pretty, it's pretty, but for the nobles, being beautiful is the most useless."

Speaking of this, Ruosha suddenly remembered what she had touched Alexander with her shoulder: "Where did that Elliot go, why haven't I seen his person all day?"

Feeling the lukewarm warmth from Zuo Sha, Alexander closed his eyes gently. He was indeed too tired these days, and even thought about how he hadn't really taken a good rest since leaving Naples.

"That man, he should be with Mahimo now." Alexander smiled softly, and he could guess that Elliott must be exerting his skillful tongue at this time, drinking wine while inquiring from the monk. This kind of news, especially about the two or two flintlocks.

Elliott's interest in the two muskets has not escaped Alexander's eyes. In fact, as long as he is not too stupid, he will certainly notice the great power of the two muskets due to the amazing rate of fire.

Although it seems to Alexander that it can't be regarded as a real flintlock gun, it must be admitted that the two guns in this era are the products of nearly epoch-making changes.

Nevertheless, Alexander did not care that the secrets of the two guns would be revealed.

Although it took a long time from the rise of the matchlock gun to the appearance of the flintlock, and it did have a great impact on the war situation, this technical change is not really a difficult problem, and Alexander also I know that because this is not a big problem, even if I try my best to keep it secret, I can't keep it for too long.

Unless he always makes only these two muskets to play by himself, as long as mass production, then this simple technique will not be used by others for a long time.

Since this is not as good as the genius made by the design of the flintlock at this time, find a way to use this to exchange some of the benefits for yourself.

This idea even existed when the two muskets were tinkered in the room in the castle of Cosenza, and Alexander believed that Elliott, who had seen the power of these two guns, should be his first "potential customers." .

As for saying that Elliott might have heard the musket from Mahimo, and then directly tinkered with it himself, Alexander was not worried about this, because he had decided not to leave the farm of the Agri River for the time being, and he was confident that Over time, he created something that was more interesting to Elliart.

It is the only problem now, but it is Ruosha around him.

Alexander asked: "Have you decided to grant land to those villagers in person?"

Looking at Alexander's eyes, Zuosha smiled softly and said, "Of course, this is the land of the Cosenza family, and now it is my land. This is my power and my duty."

"It's not your land now," Alexander whispered. "Don't forget that you have to obey your brother Keizer. According to the Duke's tax collector, he is now Earl of Cosenza."

"The earl is my father," Ruosha retorted angrily, and then she leaned straighter and leaned hard against the back table. "I won't let Keizer succeed. He took Coson from his father. Check, this is absolutely not allowed. "

"Go to the count," Alexander said in the ear of Russa. When he was too close, his lips almost touched Russa's soft, transparent earlobe. "Let him know what happened here, and the count will tell you what to do." Done. "

"and then?"

Looking at Rusha ’s questioning eyes, Alexander ’s voice was lower, and her lips were getting closer and closer to Rusha ’s ears and lips, and she seemed to be able to touch her ear at any time. ”Then you will stay in Naples, I think it will be soon A very important thing happened. At that time, the Earl should have hired people. You may be able to help him. "

The breath of inquiry in Ruosha's eyes was more intense. She looked at Alexander slightly suspiciously and smelled with suspicion: "What do you know, and who are you?"

Alexander paused and pondered a little before saying: "What I know is not difficult to guess, but no one knows when it will happen, in fact, you also know what I am talking about. As for myself, of course It ’s your brother. "

"Are you my brother?" Luo Sha's voice was perplexed.

"Of course, half-brother." Alexander whispered slightly in her ear, turning her head slightly.

"But you don't look like a brother right now."

Ruosha looked at Alexander suspiciously. Because she was close, the lips of Wei Kai, when she was speaking, flickered across Alexander's cheeks, and a slight impulse throbbed across the two.

In a tone that he felt a little stiff, Alexander gently asked: "What should that brother do?"

Alexander does not know what a brother should do, because no matter whether it is a predecessor or this life, he has no brother or sister.

But as Zuosha's real brother, Keizer Kosenza knew exactly what to do.

Although Frederick's tax collector had only gone for a few days, these days seemed to Kaiser to have passed a long time.

The tax collector complied with the promise, he took all his own people, and gave the castle completely to Keizer.

This should have been a very happy thing for Keizer, but he could not enjoy even a little fun.

The people in the entire castle seemed to start to fear him, even those who flattered him seemed to hide from him quietly.

This made Keizer angry but helpless.

From the moment he decided to exile his father, Keizer knew it would end up like this.

However, he did not regret the choice he made, not only because he was facing a life threat at the time, but more importantly, he did worry that his father would pass the territory and title to Ruosha.

So when he had just taken over the castle from the tax collector, he ordered that the secret road leading to the top of the mountain be blocked, and at the same time he ordered to strengthen the vigilance, although he did not think that Rusha could escape from the tax collector. And I do n’t believe what Ruosha can do under the pursuit of Bohemian mercenaries.

Perhaps it was time to write a letter to Count Modillo and tell him his decision.

On the fifth day, Keizer began to wonder.

He knew that Modillo had great hope for Ruo Sha, or how much benefit Ruo Sha's future marriage would bring him.

But now Keizer's decision clearly has a huge contradiction with Modillo's wishes. Keizer does not believe that Modillo will give up on this.

But this time Keizer did not fear the count.

The passage that the tax collector had said to him has always haunted Kaiser's heart, which is why he finally decided to exile his father rather than risk taking the Earl's seat.

"The Neapolitan will face a famine. Even the richest man will bend his knees in the face of hunger. It may be shameless to flatter for a piece of roasted good lamb, but for a piece to live The bread is kneeling and begging but it ’s not shameful. And the one who can give bread is an angel. "

The tax collector's words made Keizer's throat hot, and he felt like he had finally seized the opportunity.

Even if he can inherit the title of Cosenza, he can still only attach to Modillo, and if he can say what the tax collector said, he may become a Neapolitan hero!

Once this idea came out, it could no longer be suppressed, so that when he grabbed the seal from his father's neck, the guilt only disappeared in his heart for a moment.

Keizer walked to the table and picked up the pen, UU reading www.uukanshu. After com speculating for a long time, he finally began to write:

"Dear Lord Sant Jal and Earl Ischia ..."

This is the beginning of Keizer's letter, and it's all.

Then he heard a thunderous sound of horseshoes coming from outside the castle, and then a servant rushed into the door and rushed in!

"Adult, it's a young lady. The young lady is back!"

"Who, Rusha?" Keizer thought about it before he realized it, and then he yelled angrily. "What's the matter, is she coming back with the tax collector?"

"Not an adult," the attendant said pale. "She came back with the Bohemians, no, not right," the attendant shook his head vigorously, as if to wake himself up before saying aloud, "It was the lady Those Bohemians are back, they are now outside the castle! "

"What?" Keizer stood up suddenly, and when he rushed out of the room, he didn't notice that the ink had stained the entire chest before he was overthrown. To find this site, please search for "" or enter the URL:
