Vol 4 Chapter 206: Travel

The Venetian left with a contract signed with several terms.
According to these treaties, Montina and Venice will stop any hostile and distrustful behavior. In response, Venice will provide Montina with a cost sufficient to maintain the military's operations.
At the same time, there are other treaties between Montina and the Venetians, including the relationship between the two parties, as well as the ownership and interests of the maritime colony.
The messenger was satisfied when he left, because this agreement not only made certain guarantees for Venice to solve the threats from the east, but also made certain commitments regarding the distribution of Hungarian mineral deposits, that is, as long as Alexander There is a little benefit in the distribution of Hungarian mineral deposits, of which there is also a share of Venice.
At the same time, the terms of the 400,000 Putecane tax also made the Venetians feel that the agreement was still worthwhile.
And for the generosity of Alexander ’s commitment, the conditions provided by the Venetians are also quite abundant.
In addition to the considerable expenses borne for the expedition to Hungary, it is enough to allow all the money to be invested in the optimistic business today, and the somewhat constricted Alexander is relieved. Secretly relaxed a lot.
No one knows better than him how important this seemingly unreliable does not violate each other.
The French are coming, and as the old Rovere can't leave the identity of the lead party for a while, the contradiction with the Venetian will inevitably occur.
No matter from which point of view, Montina bears the brunt of this conflict, but only Alexander knows that the old Rovere may have an ambiguous attitude for a long time in the future, and then with the French people, he will finally be a few years old Rovere will eventually remove his disguise and stand completely opposite the French.
But before that, he was an out-and-out leader, so he would fight the Venetians as French enemies. Alexander did not want Montina to be a victim of the old Rovere.
This is why he insisted that Barenti be the regent of Montina, so it is not so easy for the Pope or the old Rovere to use Montina as a stepping stone.
"If the Pope ordered it by force, you can rely on your father to keep our territory. If your father plays the idea here, I think you know what to do."
Alexander put his chin pad on the soft shoulder of Barenti lying on the skin, feeling the warmth of Barenti's body under him. He lowered his head and kissed her neck.
"Are you going to use me to guard against my father?" Barendi said breathlessly. The joy that had just ended made her weak, and she didn't even want to move a finger. "You know I won't oppose my father." "
"I just hope you can protect our home and at least have a place to rest when I come back."
"How long are you going to go?" Barendi asked the question again.
"I hope to return as soon as possible, preferably before the French arrive." Alexander could only comfort Barendi, and the accident that may have occurred in Bucharest made him really unsure that he would be able to come back so quickly.
"I hope I didn't let you down. Montina can still be a place to rest when you come back." Balendi sighed lightly after she finished, her chin resting on her skin with her chin crossed Looked at the flickering flames in the hearth not far in front of her, and the golden fire flashed in her light eyes. "I think I've fallen, and I will oppose my father for you."
"No, this is normal. After all, you will be a Gombré instead of Rovere, so your choice is completely normal and reasonable." Looking at Barrondi's profile, Alexander was a bit surprised to notice that, under the light of the fire, This ordinary face with a slightly damp hair sticking on the cheeks at this time seems to add a touch of charm, which makes his body that has just been moved actually move again. "Speaking of rest, I have just rested, now Can we continue our negotiations? "
"What? Don't, ah ..."
Balenti's panicked cries sounded, and with this short cries, the animal skin blanket on the ground instantly waved.
January 13, 1499, this day is not a very friendly day for people who want to travel.
From the night before, there was a heavy snow that never stopped. When the sky was completely bright, it didn't mean to stop.
The road in front of the castle of Montina has no trace at all, and it is a white world that is full of heaven and earth.
Such weather is obviously not suitable for marching, and even without a reliable guide, you will get lost in this white world.
The mountain of pressure rose early in the morning. When he hit the window, the oncoming cold wind shuddered in front of his chest. Then he dressed up with the help of Balendi.
"Why do you have to go today?" Barendi asked a little bit hard. The change from a girl into a woman made her gradually show her unique charm, even if it was still not pretty, but her appearance was already cold and indifferent. It's different.
"If I don't go today, I will continue to be greedy for the days with you, then tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and then I will be unable to move because of my body, and eventually become a depressed person."
Alexander made Barendi turn around, and then helped her carefully tie the ribbon behind the skirt.
"Listen now, cover your body with clothes. Such treasures are only visible to me, have you heard them?"
"Alexander Juliant Gombry, you are such a guy that pleases a woman," Barendi turned and said with some annoyance, "I can guess you must be sure about Lucrezia Pogia That's what it says, otherwise she won't willingly give birth to a daughter for you. "
"So are you ready to have a son for me?" Alexander did not deny that some things have to be admitted if they are done, otherwise it will only get worse.
"I think about it," Barrondi rarely showed a touch of mischief, her fingers were intentionally or unintentionally placed on the placket on her chest, and then looked at Alexander with encouragement. "If you are ready, then me too."
Alexander smiled bitterly. He didn't expect Barenti to have such a side. Perhaps it was the snow outside. The gentleness of the room stimulated him like a spring. At this moment, he actually had a kind of greed for the woman in front of him. The hope of your own world.
"This is really a heavy snowfall!"
Standing in the courtyard of the castle, Alexander looked up and couldn't help but watch the sky with the snow falling down, bent down and picked up the snow on the ground and threw it toward the sky.
Snow flakes fell, stained his hair, covered his shoulders, and even fell into the slits of his collar.
The bursts of cold stimulated some faint mind, and Alexander took a deep breath, then exhaled a column of air.
"Mount!"
Alexander gave orders to the hunting guards waiting by the side.
The red short cloak is striking against the white snow, even if there is no sunlight, it can still be reflected in the breastplate that reflects like waves of mirrors.
Alexander, who jumped on the back of Pagasos, looked back. Balenti was taking her female officer and Uliu, and Bishop Montina and a group of officials standing in front of the snow-covered steps.
"Trust me, when the first summer night cicadas begin to tweet, pay attention to the road to the east, and I will come back from there."
Alexander whispered to Barendi, then turned his horse head and ran towards the castle gate.
In the heavy snow, the hunting guards set off silently, while in the farther away, the soldiers of the prepared Montina army set off with some helplessness.
Even those veterans did not expect that the count would choose soldiers who set off on such a heavy snow day, and after watching a few steps, they began to gasp. Finish this road.
Gompati rode on to the slow stretch of the team and shook his head slightly.
He knew that the election of Alexandria was naturally useful on this day, but looking at this army, Compati felt that if they could return successfully on this trip, this army probably really has nothing to do. Arrived.
"Gompatti told me, what would you do if you were given a hundred cannons now?" Alexander, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and asked.
"Sir, this is impossible," Gompati pushed the horse forward a few steps under the blizzard. "No one can take out so many cannons at once, so this question is meaningless, and there are too many cannons. benefit."
"Why?" Alexander asked with interest.
"Adult, the cannon is used to destroy the enemy and the enemy's cannon. Sometimes 10 cannons and 20 cannons have the same effect. If there are too many cannons, they will not make any sense except for obstructions."
"Utility overflows," Alexander said a word that Compati didn't understand. While a smile appeared on his face, Alexander squeezed the horse's abdomen under his feet. When Pagasus ran to his feet, Alexander was suddenly in the wind. In the snow, he shouted to Gompati, "Gompati, don't die easily if you live well. If you are lucky, you may become a marshal in the future."
The wind and snow were still there, and the team split through the oncoming stormy snow and made a difficult progress toward the white misty distance ahead.
Behind them, the wind and snow like a thick snow curtain covered them under their white curtains until their figure gradually disappeared, and finally no trace.
Balenti stood on the tower bridge of the castle and watched the last figure disappearing in the snow curtain before walking down the tower carefully along the snow-covered steps with the help of the maid next to him.
"My niece, you are now the regent of Montina." Tony de la Rovere walked over to meet Barenti with his arms outstretched, and when embracing her, the bishop said in a voice that only two people could hear "This is not the same as before. I have to admit that you really have a way. Your fiancé completely trusts you."
"Of course uncle," Balenti left the bishop's arms and looked at his uncle with a light look. "I am his fiancee, or already his wife, and of course he will trust me."
After talking, Barendi no longer ignored Bishop Tony, who seemed a little overwhelmed because of her attitude, and turned to Uliu, who was not far away, saying, "To call everyone, I mean all officials arrive after lunch. Come in the main hall, I want to meet them formally. "
"Ma'am, don't you call them in the vault?" Uliu was a little surprised.
"No, not in the future," Barrondi looked up at the vaguely visible window high above the castle. "The vault will only be used as Alexander's personal room in the future, until the count returns to make a decision."
"Following the orders." Uliu bowed nodding clearly in his heart after thinking about the fact that the old man and Barenti closed the door day and night in the vault.
"Do you want to establish your prestige. This is completely unnecessary, don't forget that this used to be the territory of our Luoweilei family. You don't even need anyone's authorization to be a hostess of course."
Bishop Tony came together again. He felt that he had just been a little more attentive just now, and Barenti's temperament was notoriously cold, so she shouldn't be dissatisfied with herself, just because of her personality.
"Uncle, what are you talking about?" Barendi looked at Bishop Tony with a strange expression. She just looked at it, but the look made the bishop feel uncomfortable.
"This is Montina, it's my husband's territory, and his authority is beyond doubt," Balendi glanced at the slightest of those people. "So if I were asked to question my husband's power again, I I will not forgive you. As for your uncle, I think you should go back to the monastery and concentrate on serving God, at least you should be worthy of the salaries you get every month. "
Bishop Tony looked at Barenti in amazement. He was completely choked by the niece's words, and for a moment he forgot how to refute it.
"Go do your business, don't forget to see me after lunch, as for your uncle, you don't have to."
After finishing, Balenti turned to the castle, leaving Bishop Tony staring at her back with an ugly face.
Uliu bowed respectfully to the gray-faced bishop, and then chased in the direction of Barendi.
Bishop Tony stood in the snow staring blankly at the back. After a while, he noticed that there was no figure left empty around him. He thought somberly, then turned and walked towards the monastery. Even the servants who chased him after the horse chasing him were ignored.
Uliu followed not far behind Balendi, and he knew that his wife should have other things to tell.
Sure enough, Balendi, who was walking in front, stopped and turned to see Uliu and signaled him to move closer.
"Those farmers, are they honest?" Balendi asked.
"Battered, how could it be honest," Uliu was a bit strange about Barendi's thoughts, but he went on to say "Fortunately, they didn't make trouble, after all, the lord is still very good to them."
"Then they will soon find that such a good day has come to an end," Barendi said coldly. "Alexander may be a benevolent lord, but I will not allow them to deceive him, nor will they allow them to occupy the lord at will. Things, so from today on you need to make those farmers understand that they have to serve the lord ’s land, otherwise I will drive them out of Montina ’s land. "
"According to your order, Madam." Uliu bowed again to salute.
"Tell me, do you think I am different from the other women in Alexandria you have served," Barenti looked at Uliou. "Do you think I am a mean woman?"
"Where are you, you are my only hostess." The Moors quickly expressed their loyalty, although the cold wind and the snow were flying outside, but Uliu's head seemed to be a little sweaty. "You are all for the sake of the master, I know it well. "
"I hope so," Barendi snorted softly, and then she slowly walked to the window to watch the snow outside. "Alexander will walk for a long time this time. My duty is to guard Montina for him. , This is a wife's responsibility, so I want you to help me. "
Speaking of this, Barendi looked back at Uliu: "Maybe the stupid woman of the Pogia family will only treat you as Alexander's personal servant, but I will not be so stupid, so from now on I want you to listen My order, do n’t forget what you said, I am your only hostess. "
After Wei Nuonuo came out from Balendi, Uliu shook his head in the airy hallway everywhere. He had to admit that he had really underestimated the newly born Countess.
Perhaps it was only because Alexander was by his side that Barenti would temporarily indulge in the love vortex with his instrument, but as soon as Alexander left the former young lady of the Rovere family, he showed unusual means, which made Uliu somewhat The old man was worried.
"If the Countess is also here ..."
As soon as the idea appeared, Uliu quickly shook his head. He walked back to his hut not too far from the vault and closed the door. Then he fetched a letter from the bottom of an obscure wooden box against the wall. Come to ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The letter was left to him by Alexander 2 days ago, or this is a memo, with some instructions on it, some of which Uliu thinks are somewhat inexplicable.
"From now on, we must fully prepare food and fill up the granaries in the castle."
"If Caesar comes back, I will stare at Alfonso of Billy Shelly. I think something interesting may happen."
"Once the border between Montina and Venice is abnormal, keep in mind the following two things: Montana will be ready for the battle before April, if it is after April, you must dissuade Balendi Impulse, but to delay as far as possible to avoid direct conflict with Venice. "
"In May, I want you to travel a long distance, remember what you want to bring, that is all I have prepared for you, your destination is Milan, and you want to see these two people ... "
Uliu looked at the memo seriously until he saw the last paragraph.
"Uliu, if I can't come back as scheduled, I want you to remember my orders, go to Kosenza to find Rusha, tell her everything I asked you to do, and then you have two options , One is to continue to be loyal to her as loyal to me, the other is that you are free, you can go wherever you want, I have prepared a sum of money for you, and you can live a peaceful life in the rest of your life, thank you These years of service, my friend. "
Looking at the memo, Uliu gently exhaled carefully and put it back in the box.
Then he looked at the door, and his feet suddenly twisted twice.
"It's time to work Uliu, the master is still waiting." The Moor whispered to himself, then pushed the door out of the room.
