Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Time is like quicksand, and it will quickly pass through the cracks of the fingers unconsciously. This sentence is more appropriate for De Charlene.

It has been a long time since starting from France, but he believes that his mission has not made much progress.

In Rome, although you can feel the unavoidable change in the attitude of Borgia and his son to his own, but Alexander VI is clearly a very difficult negotiating opponent, he always knows how to procrastinate at a critical moment, and knows How to bargain, this made the progress of the negotiations between the two parties somewhat uneven.

Coming to Pisa was proposed by De Charlene himself. He did so for two reasons. One is that he did become curious about Gombré, who is also famous even in the French court, and because the person also It was true that he had rescued him and made him decide to visit as soon as possible. Another reason was that he wanted to take a short time to dry the pope, at least let him realize that the French court did not necessarily need the support of the Vatican.

However, after arriving in Pisa, De Charlene realized that his temporary trip seemed to have unexpected gains.

Pisa, of course, ca n’t compare with Rome regardless of its size or prosperity, and even de Charlene ’s memory should not be comparable to Florence, but after a few days of visiting him, he unexpectedly discovered that this small harbour The city has more attractive features than other places.

People in this city seem to be very busy, or rarely see people leisurely strolling on the street. In addition, although there are many tourists from other countries like other places, the locals rarely show how much The kind of xenophobia that is common in all cities.

Pisa people will warmly invite any one who is willing to talk to the locals to eat with the foreigners, and they are more willing to deal with them. When a foreigner tries to ask for help, there is rarely a response. The situation is often that the locals go to the foreigners. Human enthusiasm can make you quickly forget that you are not in your hometown.

De Charlene saw people from many places. In addition to some nearby cities, he also saw businessmen from more distant places such as Sicily and Baleares, or distant places in France and the lowlands.

The Pisa regarded the foreigners as the roots of the city's prosperity, and the foreign merchants did allow De Charlene to see a lot of more active business activities here than elsewhere.

Among them, the exchange that impressed Charlene the most.

The shop with a small facade looks like a very lively tavern, but what is sold here is not the drinks that make people drunk, but the dream of wealth that can make them completely crazy.

Charlene felt that Gombre was a little bit different. At least this exchange made him seem to see the wizard ’s magic. Everyone rushed into the facade like a demon, and then many people came out enchanted, But some people looked ugly when they came out, or even lost their souls.

But such a person is a minority after all, just as the exchange guys shouted, as long as most people walk in here, they will have a chance to become the rich man of their dreams.

Charlene gradually understood why the Alexander Conference attached so much importance to pizza, even in the conversation between the two people intentionally or unintentionally revealed the tone for the pizza to cooperate with the French.

Charlene had little interest in working with Alexander. Montina might be a big problem for Caesar, but it was nothing in front of the powerful French army.

Although it was also heard that Alexander had been constantly expanding and repairing the Castel Nuovo since entering Montina, Charlene still believed that as long as the French controlled Milan and contained Venice in the east, even if they did not land in Naples , Just all the way south, neither Montina nor anywhere can stop the invasion of the French army.

However, his travels in Pisa made his thinking somewhat change.

Although Charlene was a pure knight, he was not a reckless man. On the contrary, it was because of his wit that Charles VIII had appointed him as the guard of Rome, and this time he could come to Rome to negotiate. He is not only good at killing and killing.

Charlene hopes that pizza will be preserved, at least not during the process of being conquered so much damage and impact.

He would think so because he realized the huge potential of the city. Although the scale and wealth of the city are not as good as those of Rome and Florence, Pisa seems to be moving towards becoming an economic center on the west coast of the Mediterranean.

Another place is Naples. According to information received by the French court, in these two years Naples was accumulating wealth at an impressive rate, which not only re-attracted Charles VIII, but also quickly attracted his successor Louis Twelve eyes.

And all this seems to be related to the count.

Charlene felt the need to have a good relationship with Alexander. As the two kings of Charlie and Louis, or as a heavy minister during the transition between the last lineage of the Valois dynasty and the first king of the side branch, Charlene was more than others It is clear that the French court is not very loose finances.

In order to invade Italy, Charles VIII spent almost all the money at his disposal, but the large amount of loot lost due to a series of fiascos made his expedition a loss-making business, and with the death of Charlie, the new king needed the throne The large sum of money is already a headache, and the equally huge ambition of Louis XII has also made the French finances face the embarrassment of digging into their pockets again.

The wealth of Pisa moved Charalon to his heart, but he soon realized that the wealth here is intangible, or that is different from other places, the wealth here is not those smart sculptures and visible big Florin is a rich business environment unique to this place.

If a good source of finance was lost due to the destruction of this environment due to the invasion, Charlene felt that it would be a pity.

So in the past few days, he visited Tomino, Duke of Pisa, and the Medici brothers who came here unexpectedly.

Although it is so close to Florence, according to the protection laws that have prevailed among Italian city-states for many years, the Medici brothers have a protection period of up to 60 days in Pisa. During this time, no one can violate their security Because of this, the Medici brothers are not in a hurry to leave Pisa.

However, in the view of Charlene, the reason why the Medici brothers have been stuck in Pizza is not to try to persuade anyone to fight against Florence with them, but they seem to be more interested in Alexander.

Obviously, the brothers intended to seek help from Alexander.

But one of Caesar's sudden decisions disrupted Charlene's plan to continue to observe the city for a few more days.

Caesar found Charlene and conveyed Alexander VI's invitation to him. It seems that the Pope had planned to give up some stubborn demands before considering these days. This made Charlene overjoyed. He did not expect that Alexander VI was so fast. He became sensible, so according to Caesar's request, he decided to leave Pisa after 4 days.

So although it was heard that Caesar subsequently proposed to Lucrezia that she was going to give her a special gift before leaving, Charlene didn't care too much.

Lucrezia was a little unhappy about Caesar's sudden departure, she asked if Caesar had encountered something that upset him here, or Alexander showed him that he was not welcome.

After knowing that this was not the case, Lucrezia urged Caesar to stay for a few more days, but only after knowing that this decision could not be changed, Lucrezia could only sullenly promise to go with him to see the gift he had sent two days later.

In the evening, Lucrezia told Alexander the news.

"I'm going to see what gift Caesar gave me, but we won't be out of town, just in the city of Pisa." Lucrezia specifically explained her whereabouts, because she knows that Alexander actually cares about this. "You can rest assured, Caesar is leaving soon, and maybe it will be a long time before I see him again, so promise me to follow him to make him happy before he leaves. "

Watching Lucrezia reveal a pleading look, Alexander nodded helplessly, "Okay, I promised that he was going to leave, but you know he has been thinking about grabbing you from me. go."

"That's also because I am his loved one. In fact, if you can get along well with him, he will care about you so much."

"Oh." Alexander responded noncommittally.

Lucrezia wanted to know what Caesar gave him, but the series of inquiries was only Caesar's pretending smile.

Finally, the time of two days finally passed. Lucrezia, who was already in desperate need of getting up early, was waiting in the house. She sometimes made people see if Caesar was coming, and asked the nanny to take out Estelles. See, it wasn't until noon, when the servant reported that Caesar had arrived, she hurriedly greeted the door with her baby.

To Lucrezia's surprise, Caesar wore a long robe on such a hot day, which made him look hot all over.

Seeing Lucrezia holding Estelles, Caesar couldn't help but show a beam of joy, although for him, he had imagined that if he could take Estrez together, it would be perfect, but he also knew Alexander's emphasis on children.

Now seeing that Lucrezia was destined to take a child, it made Caesar feel that God was looking after him.

Lukrezia ’s residence was protected by hunting guards. These soldiers were ordered to follow Lukrezia inseparably, so when Caesar had just walked out of the house, they found that there were several hunting guards all around.

"Do they follow you anytime, anywhere," Caesar glanced at the soldiers "or did they treat you as a prisoner?"

"Of course not. Alexander just wanted to protect me," Lucrezia argued for his man, and then said a little funny. "Or he is worried about what bad ideas you have."

"We're just going to see your gift. Is there anything else to worry about in the city," Caesar said, holding out his finger and gently poking under the tender cheek of Lucrezia Armier Estles, which caused Egypt Streth's snarl "Yeah" sound "This boy's voice is really not small, it should be a good deal for this future."

"It's a pity to be a daughter," Lucrezia said softly, a little unwillingly, and in her heart she longed for a son "and Alexander wanted a son."

"We won't talk about him today," Caesar's face flashed unpleasantly. "Okay, we are just going to the University of Pisa, so if these soldiers are willing to follow them, let them stay away, so the headquarters will do."

Lukrezia nodded, then turned back to give orders to the leading hunting guards. Although somewhat reluctant, the hunting guards still slowed down, behind at a further distance.

Not far from Lucrezia Palace to the University of Pisa, after passing a stone bridge across the Arno River, not too far away you can see a pale white house under the famous bell tower, which is the facade of the University of Pisa.

"This place is not suitable for these soldiers to enter. I remember that in the Piping era, it was stipulated that soldiers are not allowed to enter the university, and the French even allow the university to have autonomous power," Caesar looked at the hunting guards not far behind him. Then he ordered to his followers, "You stay here and wait for us to come out, remember to be careful, this is the University of Pisa."

Seeing Caesar's followers stay, despite their unwillingness, the hunting guards remained at the door with Alexander's insistence.

But soon two hunting guards slowly patrolled along the edge of the white building.

Lucrezia asked the babysitter to walk with Estelle and follow Caesar in the corridor. Although she didn't know what gift Caesar was going to give her, thinking about this is the University of Pisa, it made her a little excited.

A door appeared at the end of the corridor. As Caesar gently pushed the door open, Lucrezia saw an easel covered with a curtain facing the door.

"a painting?"

Although Lucrezia was a bit curious, she was not surprised. Many people had painted her portraits before, including some famous art masters.

"A special picture." Caesar motioned to Lucrezia to lift the opening cloth herself.

Lucrezia walked over to hold the cloth and gently lifted it. As the curtain fell, a portrait that surprised her appeared in front of her.

The solemn, solemn, and religious images make people feel awed from the bottom of their hearts. In the expression of the Holy Father who is surrounded by angels and looking down on the lower world, there is a kind of love that is very different from the images in other scrolls. His eyes were on the Son held in the arms of Mary.

When he saw the innocent and familiar face of the Son on the screen, Lucrezia couldn't help but look back at Estrels who was behind the nanny's arms.

But besides her cute face, she saw the astonished eyes of the babysitter.

Lucrezia couldn't help but follow the nanny's gaze to see Caesar standing on the other side behind him.

Then she was surprised to find out when Caesar had taken off the tightly covered robe, revealing a short armor covering her body!

"Caesar ?!"

Lucrezia seemed to realize something, but before she could speak, Caesar had drawn her sword to the frightened babysitter.

"Listen to me, I won't kill people in front of children, but if you refuse to obey, I don't care about this."

"Yes, lord."

The babysitter looked at the tip of the sword almost poking her chest with trembling. She watched Caesar slowly hug Estrest from her hand, and then handed it to Lucrezia's arms that were also dumbfounded.

"What are you doing Caesar?" By this time Lucrezia already knew that the so-called gift was obviously a trap. Although she knew that Caesar would not hurt her, but looking at her brother's strange and terrible look, Lucrezia was still scared. Estelles was scared. "

"Relax, she won't be afraid anytime soon."

"What are you talking about?" Caesar's words changed Lucrezia's complexion. She couldn't help but lean back and hug the child in her arms. "What are you doing to my child?"

"God, Lucrezia, be awake. Do you think I am going to hurt her?" Caesar looked at Lucrezia helplessly. "Our family will treat her kindly, but you have to go with me."

"Are you going to return me to Rome with you?" Lucrezia had understood the purpose of Caesar, but she couldn't help but be confused.

"Yes, I have no time to explain now," Caesar said, looking back at the nanny, and then in the exclaimation of Lucrezia, he suddenly waved his hand with the hilt and knocked the woman down. "I said I would not Killing in front of the child. "

"You're crazy Caesar, you can't escape, the hunting guard is outside."

Lucrezia seemed to be awake suddenly. She wanted to dissuade but was dragged by Caesar and walked out of the door. Before leaving, Caesar did not forget to remove the Trinity tightly on the easel.

"So I have been prepared for a long time, but our respected Cavaliers of Sherron may be a little bit wronged, but this is nothing. After all, the Fischer by the Duke of Orleans should have arrived in Rome. He is the real French messenger. . "

Listening to Caesar's words while walking across the hallway, Lucrezia was dragged at a loss, she didn't know whether to follow Caesar or call for help immediately, but the thought of calling for help would lead to the hunting guards , And even caused a fight, she was too scared to make a sound.

Caesar was clearly prepared. He took Lucrezia to a room on the other side of the corridor and pushed the door in. Then Lucrezia saw a woman in the room.

This is a young woman about her age. Although she doesn't imagine her appearance, Lucrezia notices that the two people look very similar.

"It's her, now you change the clothes," Caesar hurriedly commanded when he entered the door, and at the same time he said to the dazed Lucrezia in a somewhat cathartic tone, "Gombray thought I was doing all these days, just spending every day? I ’ve been looking for a woman you imagined, and then I ’m looking for a chance to be your stand-in. Lucrezia do n’t forget how you were taken to Pisa by his father, because my father thought you were going to be ill. "

Hearing the mention of Alexander VI, Lucrezia ’s eyes could n’t help but wet, she had always buried her thoughts of her loved ones deeply in her heart, and sometimes even kept asking Alexander for a fight against that strong miss Can use intense love to erase that kind of miss.

But now Caesar's words made her repressed feelings burst out instantly.

"I'm going back to Rome with you," Lucrezia said excitedly. "But you have to promise to send us back again ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Otherwise, the Alexander Conference will go crazy."

"Relax will send you back at that time, or you should write to Gombre to let him pick you up in Rome, know that only in this way can you have the opportunity to be his wife instead of a mistress, and you have to be with me for this. Leave together, otherwise you will only be his mistress for a lifetime. "

Caesar's last words completely moved Lucrezia, and she immediately nodded and began to exchange clothes with the opposite woman.

The afternoon sun had gradually moved the shadow of the Pisa University porch by a large amount, and the impatient hunting guards became a little uneasy.

Some of them proposed to enter the university to look at it, but they were blocked from the door, but just when they were about to clash with the gatekeeper, Caesar's followers saw Caesar and Lucrezia in a distance. In the corridor of the high corridor.

The siblings seemed to be talking while walking slowly. This scene calmed down the hunting guards. Although they didn't see the babysitter holding their children, it made them feel relieved.

At the same time, in front of the gates of Pisa, a team of businessmen was rushing out of the city in a horse-drawn cart full of stuff.

There are too many such caravans, especially after the tariffs have been lifted, such caravans come and go almost every day.

The gate was right in front of me, and there was a gleam in the eyes of a thickly dressed man.

The simple check passed quickly, but it seemed that time had passed for the man. The man didn't breathe out until a clear whistling sounded.

The carriage slowly walked past the city gate. When he came out from the shadow of the city gate, the man finally breathed out a long breath.

"Escaped."

Just as Caesar released a low whisper, he heard the same voice and asked not far away

"Escaped?"
