"Not for Caesar, but ashes."
The words etched on the tapered sword pulled out of the scabbard as the armored sword was lightning, bringing a string of reflections in the afternoon sunlight.
The wrist flipped suddenly, the sword crossed a nearly perfect arc in the air, and the tip of the sword pointed only where the sound came from.
"Adult, I advise you not to do this, but I have an absolute advantage in weapons."
Opposite Uliu looked at Caesar a little helplessly. The muzzle of a black gun with a long handle and a short hole in his hand was facing Caesar's chest. The unusually thick barrel of the short gun looked so shocking because the gun body was heavy. The end of the gun handle even had to be fitted with a large counterweight, so that the person holding the short gun could maintain balance.
Caesar's face froze, and his face stepped on some dirt because of the makeup, which made his look not so easy to see the change, but from his eyes, he could see the horror and surprise between his looks.At the same time, he His hand stopped in the air, and the famous saber was held in his hand in a weird posture, like a solidified statue.
Uliu was standing not far from them, but it was not important. Behind Uliu, a group of hunting guards was slowly surrounding them. Although they did not pull out their weapons, the helmets were dazzlingly reflective and looked up. His terrible look, but let Caesar know that if he dare to do anything, these hunting guards will not be soft.
"Sir, where are you going," Uliu slowly put away his musket, and then bowed very humblely. "Also in disguise, are you going out for hunting or just relaxing?"
Caesar's eyes were trembling, and he was fully prepared to escape this time. Almost all the money he brought was thrown in Pisa. Even in order to take Lucrezia away smoothly, he did not hesitate to use De Charlen as a cover. And all his entourage he threw in Pisa without hesitation, single and disguised as a businessman and escaped with Lucrezia mother and daughter.
For Caesar, this escape was not a shameful thing, as long as he could take Lucrezia away from Alexander, he would be willing to do even worse.
But he never imagined that he had encountered Uliu when he was out of town, and what made him even more unbelievable was that the Moors seemed to have known his actions for a long time, so he specifically ambushed here, waiting for him to throw himself into the net!
Caesar's body moved, and his eyes glanced slightly at the carriage behind him.
"Oh lord, if I were you, I wouldn't do that stupid thing."
Uliu extended a finger and shook it to make a stop gesture, while he glanced sideways.
Several hunting guards had approached the car, and one of the soldiers tapped gently on the door, then stepped back and stood aside respectfully.
The door opened slowly, and Lucrezia took Estelles out of the carriage.
Stiles is sleeping again. At this time, the baby is always busy between eating and sleeping. At this time, the crossbows outside the carriage did not affect her good sleep, so when Lucrezia got out of the car When she moved slightly, she also hummed uncomfortably.
Lucrezia looked at Uliu in horror. In fact, she didn't like the Moor before.
She thinks this black kid is a ghost and clever, and do n’t look at him as a respectful person who sees everyone, but Lucrezia is not stupid, and she also heard that many nobles of Pisa are actually a little bit worried about Alexander Servant.
But at that time she just did n’t like it, at least Uliu was very respectful to her, but now she looked at the Moors who pointed at Caesar with a scary musket and led the soldiers to hijack them, she really felt This person is a bit scary.
"Madam, please forgive you and Ms. Estelles. You will be able to take the carriage back in a while. But you have to change places, sir." Uliu's thick lips wriggled and said Both were startled.
"How are you going to put Caesar ?!" Lucrezia tried to block Caesar, but he was stopped intentionally or unintentionally by a hunting guard. "If you dare to hurt him, my father will not let you go."
"I'm sorry, Madam, this is not the Vatican." Uliu wanted to sneer by pouting, but still resisted the action.
"Then I will tell Alexander to let him whip you, hang you up, and finally sell you to the pagans."
"That's terrible. The old man might really be able to do that," Uliu agreed a little this time, and then he bowed slightly. "Please don't worry, ma'am, I'm not going to treat your brother, but given that he just did The incident offended my master, so he can only be our captive now. "
Caesar kept silent, he didn't know what went wrong, but he knew that the plan not only failed completely, but that he fell into the hands of Alexander this time, and things might be worse than the last time.
"I want to know how you discovered my plan." Caesar finally couldn't help asking.
He felt that his plan could be said to be seamless, but he had no clue how to disclose it, which made Caesar unbearable.
And there was a voice in his heart telling him that if he couldn't figure out how he failed, he might have some inexplicable fear of Alexander from then on.
In the long run, he might even dare not confront Alexander.
"Adult, you are too laid back in Pizza, this is not like you." Uliu's black and bright face showed a simple smile. "Although you are looking for women everywhere on the street, it is not uncommon, but if you are looking for all Women who resemble Mrs. Lucrezia are a bit strange, after all, Mrs. is your sister. "
Moore's words made Caesar's face instantly red. Although he was looking for those prostitutes to find a substitute, when he was crazy with those women in bed, he only knew what he was thinking.
"Although you have a reputation for loving art, the length of your stay at the University of Pisa is too long. This is abnormal, right? So naturally it makes people wonder whether you have to do something else at the University of Pisa. What's wrong, "Uliu looked at Caesar like a fool, but his tone was always respectful." Then you told Master Charlene that you would leave after 5 days so that he could take this time Tell my lord. The poor Frenchman has become your victim. I do n’t know what he would think when he knew you wanted to use him as a shield. "
Uliu explained to Caesar very diligently, but these explanations not only did not make Caesar understand where he failed, but made him think that his plan was indeed the same from the beginning, even ridiculous.
"As for the mistakes in some other places, I won't remind you, sir. You have time to find out for yourself." Uliu turned to look at Lucrezia, and at the same time his expression was a little dignified. "Sorry, I have to you back The city has gone. But I have to remind you that the master is very upset now. "
Lucrezia's body shook slightly, and her hands could not help but hug her daughter a little hard, as if it seemed Estelles became a life-saving straw.
When they returned to the city, the two were separated, and Uliu could not risk taking Caesar with their mother and daughter.
In fact, after Caesar reluctantly handed over his sword and his dagger, Uliu secretly gestured to the several guards who had been behind.
These hunting guards are the best hunters among the Agri, and more importantly, they all have good marksmanship. If Caesar really wants to make any fierce moves, Uliu can't take care of that much.
The carriage continued to sway on the road, and Lucrezia held the child tightly and looked nervously through the small door on the window. She did not know what would happen to her. When she discovered that the carriage was not towards the house where she lived, When she was walking in a strange place, she couldn't help getting nervous.
The carriage moved along the Arno River, crossed a stone bridge and continued west along the river bank.
Lukreziya hugged Estrex nervously. If it was not Uliu, she followed the carriage, and she rushed out of the car desperately.
She believed that the hunting guards did not dare to hurt her, and she wanted to know where she was being taken.
But the Moor made her feel a little scared. The black boy always seemed to be cautious about everyone, but the more Lukereziya felt the Moor disturbed her.
The carriage turned slowly and seemed to be walking up a small fork. Lukreziya could not wait to look out. She seemed to see the shadow of a building, but she could not see anything because of the narrow window.
Finally the carriage stopped in the shadow of the house, and Lucrezia also noticed that it seemed to be the back door of the house.
When the door opened and came down from the carriage, Lucrezia found that he was standing at the side door of a church.
However, this church seems to be a bit too small, even the top of the Gothic minaret is not much higher than the houses on the river. As for the size of this church, Lucrezia is a bit suspicious that this has a grand appearance. But the church has shrunk significantly several times, perhaps smaller than her house.
"Madam, your lord is waiting for you." Uliwu bowed to salute.
Lucrezia was shocked again. She hugged the child again and then hesitated before walking to the solid wooden door which was not too thick before pushing hard.
The wooden door opened, and the light inside was a bit dim, but Lucrezia immediately saw Alexander sitting in the first row of seats.
Lucrezia slowly walked over, her eyes panicked, but when she stepped into the house, she was inexplicably relieved.
"This is the Church of Our Lady of Sperna," Alexander looked at Lucrezia, who walked in front of her with a child. "Some people say that this church is the smallest stone church in Europe, but if you look closely, you can find that the place is small This church is the essence of art, the most rare thing is that such a small place can accommodate so much content. "
Lucrezia frowned slightly, and she didn't understand why Alexander suddenly talked to her about art.
Previously, Lucrezia would not take the initiative to mention art with Alexander, because she felt that this might hurt Alexander's self-esteem.
Obviously, although Alexander ’s achievements today make many people feel envious or even jealous, this still cannot conceal the fact that he is not a tall man, but a country lord from Naples.
So Lucrezia would discuss with the ladies who visited her in her little house what masterpiece was created by the master, but he would not talk about these topics in front of Alexander.
So she was surprised that Alexander suddenly mentioned art, and she didn't understand what it meant to say this at this time.
"I think you will like the look of this church, so I originally planned to rebuild the house you live in according to the situation of this church."
The words of Alexander made Lucrezia's expression instantly dull, and she looked at Alexander in a daze, even when Alexander took Estrez from her arms.
"Have you always distrusted me," Lucrezia finally said, and she clasped her skirt tightly to stare at Alexander's eyes. "You let the Moors watch me and your servants stare at me and Caesar as agents. "
Seeing Alexander just bow his head and gently coax his daughter, Lucrezia stepped angrily.
"You guessed that I would run away without stopping, you just want to know if I will really run away, and you never thought of keeping me by your side. Because you do n’t love me at all, or even if you use coercion It won't let me leave, is it? "
Alexander, who had been teasing her daughter, raised her head. His eyes fell on Lucrezia's face, watching her slowly shaking her head in anger.
"Lucrezia, you did n’t let me trust you. If I said that I knew you better than you, you probably would n’t understand, but that ’s the truth," Alexander sat down and gestured to Lucrezia and He did it together. "Calm down and think about it. Do you think you will continue to love me if you leave me, one month, two months or half a year? After that, if your father and brother want you and other men Would you violate their orders to get married? "
Lucrezia looked at Alexandria in a daze, she suddenly didn't know how to answer, and at the same time she felt anxiety in her heart.
"Do you know why I want Uliu to intercept you after you leave Pisa," Alexander's voice softened, but there was a faint alienation "because you are the mother of Estrez, I want you to do it yourself Choose whether to stay or leave with Caesar. I could have done otherwise, as long as Uliu appeared in time, it did n’t matter what you thought, because after all, there was no worst result. But I In the end, you decide to let yourself decide the future of the two of us. "
Lucrecia shook her head uncomfortably. She didn't seem to want to hear Alexander say such a cruel answer, but the facts told her that everything was so ruthless.
"Now tell me Lucrecia, do you love me?"
Alexander's voice was soft and his gaze was gentle, but Lucrecia only felt indescribably distant.
"I don't know," Lucrezia's voice was a little dazed. She looked at Alexander dumbly and said, "I just want someone to be with me. You are always in a hurry. Therese cares a lot more than I do, maybe you are right, in your eyes I am just the mother of your daughter. "
Lucrecia's tone gradually became annoyed, and she looked at Alexander in unwillingness, and her nose fluttered gently because of her anger.
"You asked me if I love you, but what about yourself? You never said that you love me, I'm just the spoils and playthings captured by you. You may like me very much, but I don't need to like that, I need more than one Lover, and husband! "
Lucrezia shouted at Alexander almost roaring, she had never been so excited before Alexander before.
Every time when they were with Alexander, they were more tireless in love and love, and even the reunion after each separation was to express their feelings for each other with passionate non-stop intimacy.
But now, Lucrezia shouted to Alexander that she was surprised.
"No, I just hope you don't treat me like a plaything," Lucrezia said anxiously. "You should respect me, even if I am not the pope's daughter, you should give me the most because I am your daughter's mother At least respect. "
"Or is it a respect for your wife?"
Alexander looked at her with strange eyes, which made Lucrezia's heart that had just gathered courage nervous again.
"I do n’t know what you ’re talking about. Maybe I should go back to my father. I think I ’m really dizzy during this time. I think I ’m confused by you. If you can let me go, maybe it ’s all to us. Good, then maybe we know what to do in the future, or you should go to Rome to see me, then I think I can forgive everything you have done to me. "
Listening to the incoherent words of Lucrezia, Alexander slowly walked towards her.
"This is your decision, leave me?"
"No, you're leaving me," Lucrezia shook her head. "You don't love me, don't you, otherwise you won't treat me like this, nor will you test me with such tricks."
Alexander nodded silently, he had to admit that Lucrezia was right, that the relationship between him and her was not normal from the beginning, or that it was purely because the development of the incident was too unexpected, so that there should be no communication. The two people came together.
But do you really want to let Lucrezia go?
Alexander, who walked in front of Lucrezia, hugged her daughter with one hand, and stretched the other hand to caress Lucrezia's cheek.
This is his familiar face, and suddenly he squeezed into his inner face with no warning. When he lowered his head and kissed Lucrezia's lips, he felt a slight tremor besides warmth.
The light kiss turned into a long kiss, and then into a hand that tightly embraced the waist of the woman in her arms, seeming to squeeze her completely into her body, and at the same time, her lips were inseparably embraced.
"Let me go, or tell me why I want to stay," Lucrezia barely moved her lips and gasped in an almost suffocating kiss. "Don't you want me to stay?"
"Yes," Alexander lifted Estelles between the two. "I said we will have many children in the future, our daughter will be the Duchess of Pisa in the future, and our other children will also have their glory. And status, so do you think I will let you leave, but your choice has let me down, so I will not say any reason, I want you to make your own decision, do you stay or leave? "
Lucrezia looked up at Alexandria with a struggle in her eyes.
She is very clear that, unlike before, this decision will mean that this is her last choice.
Once the choice is made, no matter what the conflict between Alexander and her father and brother will become in the future, she can only follow the side of the choice without hesitation!
"God, why did you arrange such a choice for me," Lucrezia murmured, and then she looked at the pressure and said in a weird tone, "Promise me one thing, if there really is then One day, for the sake of I love you, do n’t let me know what happened. "
Alexander's hand suddenly clenched, and at the same time he lowered his head and whispered in Lucrezia's ear: "Come on my baby ~ EbookFREE.me ~ I promise you that you will never be sad."
After that, his lips were lightly printed on the corner of Lucrezia's trembling lips again.
For a while, there were only two people kissing in the small church, and Estelles humming because of being held too tight.
And beside the side door in the corner of the church, the Moors watching this scene had already closed the door very consciously, and at the same time made a gesture of optimistic portal to the two hunting guards guarding the door.
Then Uliu walked east along the Arno River in the direction of the carriage.
After walking for a while, Uliu stopped and he looked around until he saw a strong young man hurrying from a distance.
"My friend, my news is reliable," the young man said hello when he saw Uliu. "But don't forget to promise that I won't be in trouble with Raphael."
"Of course I won't have trouble with your friend. After all, I also have a share of this matter," Uliu said, taking a heavy purse from his arms and throwing it over. "I promised you 40 Florin before. "
"Oh, you're so generous." Proto took the money bag without opening it and directly figured it out.
"Now you have 240 florins. This is not a decimal. I'm a little curious about how you plan to spend the money."
"We will go to Rome," Proto said enthusiastically. "No one knows that I reported Caesar. Now that we have the money, Raphael is talented and I have a mind. I think we can mix well in Rome."
Uliu looked at Proto silently, then shook his head slightly.
"Did you know that you reminded me of someone I knew, he was very disappointed before, but now he is well developed," Uliou said and couldn't help but glanced towards Florence. "So I give you a piece of advice, sometimes people are too Being smart is not necessarily a good thing. "
