Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Vol 6 Chapter 96: old haunt

Maria de Luna left Rome, although she was prepared before, but her decision to start suddenly seemed a bit hurry.

For his grandson, Alexander VI still showed enough affection. After hearing that he would leave Rome and return to the distant principality of Gandino two days later, the pope deliberately held a small family dinner to see them off. In addition to paying a lot of travel expenses, the Pope also gave his grandson a title of Cardinal.

"This will at least keep him from being underestimated in Gandino. Those people, they are all villains."

The pope commented on his fellow countrymen in a slightly peculiar tone. Although he came from Valencia, he did not have much affection for the people in that land. This is because his family had happened with many nobles in Aragon. After the conflicts, especially in the early years when the independent Kingdom of Valencia was annexed by Aragon, the filth of them made them aristocrats of Aragon, but they still inevitably have deep contradictions for various reasons.

The Pope ’s strong expression of this emotion is also related to the humiliation he had received from the Aragonese. He cannot forget the public humiliation Gonzalo gave him, which has never been seen since he became the Pope.

"Coincidentally, Nomelo can go smoothly with you," the Pope thoughtfully arranged the return route for his daughter-in-law and grandson. "You can go to Naples with him first so he can take care of you on the road, although Naples has The French are occupied, but this is not a problem for you. "

Maria de Luna was somewhat distracted by the concern of the Pope. At this time, she just wanted to leave the Vatican as soon as possible and leave this land in Rome, and all the reasons are due to the visit of the Moorish not long ago. .

Three years later, Giovanni's death was unveiled by the Moor from the veil of time that had been gradually covered, and then placed in front of her again.

This time, the Moors brought her a surprise to Maria de Luna.

As for who actually killed Giovanni, Uliou did not say it in the end, but when he hinted at the extraordinary relationship between Maria de Luna and Pedro Cardron, Mari Ya de Luna was terrified.

Owning a lover is not a big deal in Rome, or it can actually be used as a show-off capital. It is unknown when this depraved atmosphere emerged, but in Rome, everything from the pope to the civilians seems to be only responsible for this behavior Expressing envy and using it as a topic of discussion rather than excessive condemnation.

But the relationship between Maria de Luna and Pedro Cardron cannot be relieved with such a simple explanation, because it involves Giovanni's inexplicable death.

And Maria de Luna is not completely unaware, she can feel vaguely that Cardron seems to have a mysterious connection with the death of her husband, but she has not dared to delve into the roots. Now, a Moorish man suddenly appeared in front of her and raised the matter in a subtle way. Although it was not stated from the beginning to the end, Maria de Luna clearly felt the threat of the other side.

What surprised her was that Uliu did not propose any conditions that embarrassed her in exchange for his silence, but only asked her to leave for Rome as soon as possible in the past two days.

This does not actually require Uliu ’s deliberate suggestion. At this time, Maria de Luna had the urge to leave the city with winged wings, although she knew that even if she returned to Gandino, if Joe Wani's death was really found to be related to Cardron. She still can't get rid of the suspicion, but it is always good to be able to leave here as soon as possible.

As for Uliu, Maria de Luna is not a benevolent woman, she did try to send someone to secretly kill the abominable Moorish, but Uliu seems to have thought of this, so she deliberately left before leaving Remind the ghostly Duchess of Gandino that he only ordered the master to spread the letter.

This completely dispelled the idea of ​​Maria de Luna trying to kill people and kill her mouth. She had to honestly pack up and prepare to leave Rome.

Nomelo's reason for traveling with her this time was to go to Naples on the orders of the Pope to investigate the rumors of the persecution of local believers. It is reported that after the occupation of Naples by the French, some locals who refused to attach them to them brutally ruled. The key is that the Archbishop of Naples had taken refuge with the royal family of Naples before going to Billy Shelley, so some church priests refused to allow the French to enter the church and search for the so-called rebels without the permission of the archbishop.

This naturally caused all kinds of conflicts and even bloodshed. It was at this time that Nomelo travelled to Naples as the Pope ’s special envoy.

This is destined to be a boring journey, Maria de Luna is very worried, she refused the boat owner's invitation to shut herself in the room, which is a bit rude, but the boat owner did not dare to show any reason because of this Unhappy.

However, Nomelo's invitation was a bit of a face to the owner, and from the owner, Nomelo soon heard some interesting topics.

"Why did the French collect so many ships?" Nomelo asked casually.

"I don't know adults, but many people think they want to play Sicilian ideas."

"Why?" Nomelo's interest came. "Do you all think the French will invade Sicily?"

"The boats prepared by the French are not very large, so it is impossible to sail long distances. In addition, the place they left on the ship for the supply is not large enough. Obviously, they did not plan to run far, so if they want to let them go There are not many places except Sicily. "

Listening to the shipowner's straightforward analysis, Nomelo nodded slowly.

Nomelo had a vague guess in his heart. Although this idea seemed ridiculous, as long as he thought about what might happen to the Count of Montina, he also felt that things might not be so strange.

Will the French have reached a secret agreement with the Naples, otherwise, as the pope said, how could the Naples have the courage to declare war on Sicily at this time?

And how do you explain what the French did to solicit so many ships at this time, and it was still the one that was needed offshore? Is n’t this a marine tool for the Naples?

Thinking of these Nomelo couldn't help but fall into contemplation, perhaps it was dull and boring for Maria de Luna, but for Nomelo, the errand seemed to be very interesting.

Sicily has experienced many changes in history.

From the Romans to the Vandals, from the Arabs to the Eastern Romans, and then to the Normans, when the rulers of Anjou in France were forced to withdraw from Sicily, the rule of the Kingdom of Aragon was ushered in here.

Since Alfonso I divided the Kingdom of Sicily between its two sons, thus officially creating the history of the Kingdom of Sicily, Sicily ’s defense focus has shifted to the other side of the Mediterranean because no more stringent prevention is required from the mainland.

Whether it was the prevention of the Eastern Romans or the pagans, Sicily was an important place for the Western Mediterranean to defend against the Eastern invasion. Therefore, whether it is the French or the Aragonese, these years have mainly deployed the troops stationed in Sicily on the island. Southwest direction.

By comparison, Palermo's defense is not very strong.

So when Billy Shelley's Kingdom of Naples suddenly declared war on Sicily, Palermo suddenly panicked.

Although Flamenza immediately sent someone to suppress the panic, rumors that the Naples might attack Palermo are still circulating in the streets and alleys, and there is a tendency to intensify.

The reason for this is that some people found that there was a young man who had experienced a blood-stained night in the beginning. Although many people did not remember or even know who that person was, they now treat him The name is very familiar.

Alexandre Juliant Gumbre, Earl of Montina, it is said that in addition to the title of the Earl, there are various titles that are not less than the number of words in his name, but these are still second. An inseparable alliance of free trade zones.

Although declaring war, perhaps because of his own embarrassing situation, Billy Shelley ’s exiled palace did not mean to immediately send troops to conscript, which inevitably made Sicilian people ridicule the Naples for their posture. They were preparing to transfer from the south of the island. The generals of the soldiers also began to consider the need to mobilize a large number of troops. Perhaps as long as there were enough troops to guard some important places in Palermo, and the enemy could see their solid defenses, it would be enough for the Naples to change their minds.

There are many people who have this kind of thinking. Even after Flamenza has considered it, it is unlikely that the Naples really meet each other, or because Gonzalo is about to give him enough confidence. , He did not take the threat from Naples very seriously.

But soon, Flamenca discovered that things seemed to be beyond his imagination.

The first is that the number of merchant ships going to and from the port has gradually decreased. At the beginning, it did not attract Miyazaki ’s attention. After all, the port of Naples, one of Palermo ’s main ports, was just occupied by the French. This kind of mess The situation will definitely affect the merchant ships on the route.

But then things gradually became wrong.

The decrease in the number of merchant ships entering Hong Kong every day, along with the uneasiness of the Chamber of Commerce, finally attracted the attention of Florence, and then he was surprised to find that whether it was Naples, Taranto, or Barletta, these were the closest to Sicily in the past. The merchant ships that often come and go in the coastal cities of the country are decreasing rapidly at a noticeable rate every day. When entering the last days of September, except for some long-distance cargo ships, there are very few ships flying the flags of those places in the port.

The next thing that surprised Flamenza was that many of Palermo ’s commodities began to decline with the decrease in merchant ships, either because the price of the shortage skyrocketed, or because the airway was blocked and the ship could not be shipped.

Palermo ’s chamber of commerce began to panic, and the city gradually became confused.

Although Flamenza is a bureaucrat who is keen to use the labeling of others to eradicate dissidents, this does not mean that he knows nothing about business.

The unusual phenomenon of Palermo Port caught his attention, especially when he heard the term "Free Trade Union" from the uneasy and seemingly uncomfortable Chamber of Commerce businessmen, he quickly grasped the A key.

That is, this free trade union seems to have originated from Naples first.

This discovery forced Flamenza to meet Modillo again.

Only this time he was destined to be disappointed.

When he heard the name Free Trade Union, Modillo just smiled indifferently, and then he told the Governor that he had nothing to do with the trade union. As for who owns the union, he was not very clear.

"But Governor, I can predict for you what will happen next," Modillo said easily. "You will find that the Sicilians have less and less of what they need. More and more, and when those ocean-going merchant ships that were originally about to unload their cargo in Sicily found Palermo unable to provide them with the convenience of replacing the commodities with gold coins as soon as possible, they would rather continue their voyage for a while and then transport the cargo to other Go to the port, and by that time, the port of Palermo will also be 'dead'. "

"You forgot that we have other ports besides Palermo. Messina and Syracuse are enough to resolve Palermo's plight," Flamenca looked at Modillo with a dull face. "And you will Because it caused all this to be severely punished. "

"Governor, I ca n’t help but remind you that these statements are all good wishes. Do you think Messina and Syracuse will be better than Palermo, or do you think those of your enemies did not think of them, according to our Knowing that the Free Trade Alliance is a wonderful organization, believe me you will soon receive almost the same report as here. "

Flamenca left the cell of Modillo with a somber look. When the door closed, the count of Count Modillo finally showed a trace of anxiety as far as possible before suppressing it.

"Qiao Ling, what are you going to do," the Earl whispered in an anxious whisper that only he could hear, walking anxiously around the room like a walk. "That Gonzalo is coming, if you can't Do n’t do anything stupid when I save it. This is how many years I have planned, I hope you do n’t mess things up. ”

Camille looked at the flower garden of purple roses in the yard in a wheelchair. This is the most gorgeous time in autumn. The whole flower garden looks like a solid purple sea.

It ’s just that Camille ’s situation did n’t look very good. His legs wrapped in a blanket shook unconsciously, and his hands shook suddenly and violently from time to time, which made him sometimes eat while eating. Will sprinkle the broth all over.

Despite the dilapidated years, it seems that he will see God at any time, but no one in Palermo dared to underestimate the old man who had participated in the British-French Centennial War.

The original aristocratic parliament was not only forcibly disbanded after the arrival of Fromesa, but many of them became prisoners of the ranks. Not only was Camuri not implicated, but he also became a part of Sicily ’s new batch of powerful No one can ignore him just by this point.

A servant led a guest around the path of the flowerbed and saw a smile on the man's face.

"Dear Archon, you look very good today."

Far away, the guests greeted with a smile. If Alexander is here, he will immediately recognize this person as an old acquaintance. It can be said that during his time in Palermo, he did not receive this person less. Take care.

The most important one of these was in the palace dungeon. It was this person who asked for help, and he was able to rescue Sophia from the captain of the then Prime Minister Gomez called Pelong.

Osborne, a well-tailored tailor in Palermo.

The arrival of Flamenza did not affect Osborne ’s business. He still did his business in his house on the old street. The first floor was busy putting clothes on to the nobles and rich merchants. 2 Lou is used to take them off for their wives.

"Do n’t flatter my friend, I am very clear about my own appearance. I may be too old to survive this winter," Camille said disapprovingly. "But it ’s already too worth it for me. Know that I have experienced it. Too many things, I personally experienced a long war that lasted more than 100 years, and I was fortunate to be the lucky one to see the end of this war. I once ruled this island briefly, but many people dreamed of it. A dream that could not be realized, and when everyone else died or was put in prison, I was lucky enough to sit in my garden and enjoy the beautiful scenery. All this is enough to let me leave this world without regret. "

"You can enjoy the beauty here because you are smarter than others," Osborne said, and began to get busy. "I heard that you plan to make a dress that will make you look more majestic, although I don't know what to do How to show the majesty of a noble, but I believe that the clothes I designed should help you a bit. "

Looking at the tailor's busy life, although Camille in the wheelchair still shakes from time to time, but with the help of the servant, he tries to match the tailor to measure the size for him ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ is a It ’s a hassle to make clothes for a person who is almost half paralyzed. Sometimes, in order to get Camus to stand up, Osborne has to ask the servants who help him to greet a companion to complete this rather difficult job. So when he finally returned to his home in the old street with sweat, he even had no energy to greet the guests who were waiting downstairs, but he arbitrarily commanded the buddies who helped him and dragged on the heavy steps. The second floor.

Only when he opened a door at the end of the corridor and saw a person standing there, Osborn's tired expression suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"Earl." The tailor first bowed a little salute, and then looked at the young man in front of him who was familiar with, but now had an unspeakable strangeness with slightly sighing eyes.

No one would think that at this sensitive moment when Naples officially declared war on Sicily, Alexander had quietly landed in Sicily and returned to Palermo.
