The weather in June is as hot as the fire everywhere. In this season, not many people dare to travel at noon, because it is very likely that they will be fainted because they cannot find water.
The result of that is often either to be eaten by the beasts or looted by people passing by.
Uliu leaned in the shade of a big tree, his mule tied to the side, and a few dried but still fresh fruit on the ground.
It’s been a few days since I left Valois’ valley. Uliu’s journey is still going well. He is now anxious to get to the seaside port. For him, this trip takes longer than ever before, but as a result It's quite satisfactory.
Louis XII was a very enlightened person. Although as a king, he was not only sympathetic to the people, but more importantly, he was a person who could really listen to the opinions of the people.
Although it has only been more than two years since he became king, according to Uliu’s knowledge, someone has already given the French king a highly respected nickname, "Friend of the People", even though the French like to play the nickname indiscriminately. The title of artistic conception is somewhat depreciated, but it can be seen that the king of Louis XII is not bad.
While winning the favor of the people, Louis XII did not forget to please the nobles. Although it was from this time, the French kings gradually reached out to the nobles to take power, but Louis XII thought that he was born with patience. He is also very stable, so his actions are also cautious step by step.
While Uliu was in the Valois Valley, the Moors experienced some of Louis XII's methods with their own eyes.
The failure of the expedition to Italy seems to have caused the French to suffer heavy losses, but if you look closely, you will find that the real losses are only the nobles everywhere.
The French king recruited the nobles to launch an expedition, and when he returned to France, he quickly invested in the settlement of the territories left by the French nobles who died in Italy.
This kind of behavior is disgusting, but it is tolerated because it is in the interests of many people.
Even many families with ancient traditions are not immune from extinction.
Similarly, some great aristocrats used various means to annex and embezzle the properties of their relatives who had unfortunately died.
Because of this, although many people realized that Louis XII took the opportunity to disintegrate the aristocracy and began to take power, after gaining the benefits, no one was willing to come forward.
Uliu saw all this in his eyes, but not many people in the French court paid attention to this Moor, who was a messenger, but most of the time just wandering around.
Uliou felt that what was happening in France should be reported to the master as soon as possible, because he vaguely felt that the seeming chaos in France now should not last long, and Louis XII is laying the foundation for a new France in the future.
Uliu sat in the shade of a tree and pondered his mind. If there is someone who really knows Alexander, then it must be Ruosha.
But if there is someone who knows how to please him and Uliu considers himself second, no one dares to recognize first.
Therefore, in the eyes of many people, the Moors are jesters and clowns. Even those who have followed Alexander for a long time do not think he will be of any real use.
Especially with the establishment of the Principality of Rome Thesia, the entire system gradually matured. In many people’s eyes, people like Uliu may be the most suitable place for him in the future, which is to wait for him all day by his side. master.
Only Alexander knows that Uliu is a very smart man, or that this young Moor has a good pair of legs and feet, and can always catch up when everyone thinks he may have fallen behind.
More importantly, Uliu clearly knew what he could do and what he could not do.
As Alexander's court administrator and personal envoy, Uliu has two completely different identities.
On the one hand, what he did was the decision of the Duke of Rome Thesia, and on the other hand, he was only a servant of Alexander, so many things seemed much more flexible.
There are two roads from Valois Valley to Montpellier.
One of them was taken by Uliu. Although this road is a bit farther, it is still peaceful because of the many villages and towns along the way.
The other one is going directly south, through the mountainous Alpándi region, and then turning back west all the way to Montpellier.
This road is much closer than before, just because it is remote and unsafe.
Uliu chose to take this new path because he was anxious to return to Italy.
The news that Louis XII revealed to him made Uliu realize that the situation was developing as the master had previously speculated, and that the French and the Austrians were eventually involved in the bottomless vortex of Milan.
The Moors clearly remember the momentary change in Alexander's face when he tentatively asked how long Milan could contain the two largest countries in Europe.
At that time Alexander did not give a real answer, but calmly said: "Trust me, this war is long enough for us to do a lot of things."
"These things probably include how to make the women of the master more peaceful."
Thinking of those women in Alexander who didn't have any peace of mind, Uliu was a little gloating.
In the past few years, Uliu ran all over the place, staying true to the beginning, and then wandering outside for many years, so many people have only heard of the legendary magistrate, but have never seen himself. .
This kind of experience makes many people think that Uliu may gradually fall out of favor in the future. After all, a Moorish prefect who has been far from the center of power for a long time will easily be forgotten and more easily replaced.
However, Uliu has never worried about his future. This is not because he firmly believes that Alexander will not abandon him, but he knows very well that in this world, there are many people who can become ministers of the old man and can be a man. There are more qualified servants, but he is the only one who can be a loyal minister in the court and do the private work for the master.
A group of cavalry came slowly in the distance. There was a familiar flag in front of the group. Uliwu squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and at the same time carefully touched the musket hidden under his clothes.
On the special belt under his large clothes, there are several small muskets that are also specially made.
These muskets are much smaller than the short muskets used by soldiers on the battlefield, and the workmanship is more sophisticated and the performance is more reliable.
Although the power of firearms has gradually been known, in this era when the craftsmanship is so backward that the rate of fire cannot be compared with bows and arrows, the power of firearms is more reflected in the first bullet fired, and then if there is no Adequate protection, for the Musketeers, disaster will also come.
But if Uliu, who is alone all the year round, wants to save his life in danger, he can't count on a sword or a crossbow.
What he used to save his life were specially made small short guns that could shoot several projectiles at the same time.
The opposite team got closer and closer. Looking at the flag that gradually became clear, he quietly took away the short gun that Uliu had hidden in his sleeve.
He walked to the edge of the tree and stopped and stood there, quietly waiting for the team to come close, and then he saluted one of the team in this season, but apart from the wind and dust along the way, the knight who seemed to be still meticulously dressed .
"Salute to you, the Governor-General, this is where you never meet in life."
After Uliwu said to Charlun who was riding on the horse, he straightened up and looked up at him, with a hint of innocence and even a naughty smile on his bright black face.
Charlene was also looking at him. In fact, he recognized him earlier than Uliu. At first, he wondered how this Moor would appear here. When he suddenly became vigilant because of Uliu’s appearance, this time It's not long.
But this is enough for Charlene to think of many things.
"Can I say that I am surprised but not surprised to see you here?"
Charlene said that with the help of his servant, he turned over and got off his horse. He first took the water bag and drank a few sips, and then drenched the rest of the people on his head. Only after he let out a groan, did he tell Uliu. Waved his hand to motion him to pass.
"My lord, I really didn't expect to see you here."
Uliou’s accident was not in disguise. Although he made a temporary decision to leave France by boat through the Arpondi region and then to the coast. If you think about it carefully, you will know that the current position of Charlene is from the Arpondi region. Going to the Loire Valley is, instead, the only way for Charlene now.
While still in the court of the Loire Valley, Uliou had heard that Charlene had a new job.
For Charlie, whether it was Charles VIII or Louis XII, they seemed to agree that he was a professional household in the occupied territories.
It seems that no one is more suitable for the post of governor of the occupation area than him, but this time the place he will be stationed is somewhat special.
When appointed as the governor of the occupied Castilian region with the generals sent by the Kingdom of Navarre, Charlene originally felt helpless because he always held such a position.
But with the destruction of the French army that invaded the north of Castile, Charlene suddenly discovered that he had become a frontline commander from the governor of the occupied area.
But despite this, Charlene did not order a new invasion of Castile without authorization, even though he has been on the border between Navarre and Castile for this period of time, and he did lead soldiers many times. Invaded the territory of Castile, but he never ordered a large-scale invasion.
This has already made the Navarra general who was sent to form the coalition with him to be irritable, and later became even more angry.
Regarding the activities of Charlene on the border, Uliu has received a lot of news in the French court, but now the two suddenly met in the Arpandi region, which made Uliu realize that maybe Castile What has changed in the situation.
"I heard that there was a Moor next to the king. At that time, I was thinking that people described it like you. Now it seems that I am right."
Charlene looked at Uliu seriously. He had dealt with this Moor many times, so he knew very well what role this young infidel had around Alexander.
"My lord, I just sent a letter to the king on the orders of the master."
Uliwu spoke carefully, several thoughts flashed in his mind quickly, and watching Charlene's deep gaze looking at him, a burst of coldness suddenly rose from the bottom of Uliwu's heart.
Unlike the other nobles around Louis, Charlene is obviously a man who pursues practicality. Although he also has a desire for knighthood, he is by no means a sticky person.
Even Alexander mentioned the difference of Charlene more than once when evaluating those French generals.
And whether it was Charles VIII or Louis XII, it was indeed clear that Charlene seemed more suitable to play a role in the rear rather than on the battlefield.
Only now, Uliu clearly knew that he might be in real danger, and he had no doubt that Charlene would kill him here.
As if perceiving Uliwu's tension, Charlene's eyes gradually became sharper.
"Tell me, how does your master plan to take advantage of the current situation?" Charlene asked, and then remembered something reminded. "Probably you don't know yet, the Duke of Rometesia defeated Gonzalo's army in Seville. ."
A hint of surprise appeared on Uliu's face, he really didn't know this.
Although I guessed that Charlene suddenly returned to the court from Navarre at this time, it might be because of what happened to Castile. Now when I heard this, Uliu immediately realized a key point while excited.
"My lord, I am sending a message to my master on the order of the king that your majesty has decided to march on Milan."
Charlene let out an "Oh", and he glanced at Uliu as if he was thinking about something.
Uliu waited nervously. He knew whether his little life could continue to live in the next thought of the French nobleman.
The Moors who have always believed that they can escape all dangers, but at this time can only wait for the arrangements of fate.
"Has the king decided?" Charlene finally asked.
"Yes."
"He doesn't know about Seville yet," Charlene whispered to himself first, then said to himself "Oh, of course he doesn't know yet."
Uliwu stood there looking at Charlene until he finally stopped and looked over.
"Tell me, what happened in Milan?"
Charlene looked serious at this time, and his gaze staring at Uliu looked very gloomy.
Before the news about Castile came, Louis XII had already decided to enter Milan, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, which made Charlene have to doubt that something unexpected happened to him in Italy.
"I think something went wrong with the Austrians," Uliu said as he pondered quickly. "It is said that Cadizlas II of Bohemia is preparing to compete with the emperor for Hungary again."
Charlene narrowed his eyes slightly, and after looking at Uliu for a while, he slowly smiled.
"You know, I'm always grateful to people who bring me good news."
Charlene said that he beckoned a servant to come over, took a purse from him and stuffed it into Uliu's hand.
"Greetings to the Duke of Rometesia for me, and tell him that maybe we won't have the opportunity to fight together in the future."
Seeing the teams that had mounted their horses and were gradually moving away under the guidance of the flags, Uliu wiped the sweat from their heads until their backs became blurred.
He knew he had taken his life back.
