Vol 6 Chapter 73: Loyalty 2 Uliou

Uliu felt that he was born to be a laborer.
The other court leaders are not only in power, but are also the targets of everyone's stunt.
For example, the housekeeper Giokonde of Ludviko Sforza, even a master like Leonardo da Vinci, sometimes depends on his face.
And he is also the general manager, but in Uliu's memory, he always had to travel from one place to another, from Sicily to Naples, from Montina to Pisa, he kept in the master Not to mention running between the women, but also to be a firefighter for the old man. Whenever a woman does something because of jealousy, he, the big housekeeper, still has to find ways to solve the old man ’s worries.
Uliu felt that he really broke his heart for the family of the old man, but sometimes he had to deal with it carefully, and sometimes he really wanted to request that he be brought around as a servant because even the most stupid of those women Lucrezia, once it is about Alexander, is not so easy to deceive the past.
According to Valenti ’s order, Uliu left Montina with two letters overnight. Instead of accompanying him, he hung a few short muskets on the saddle. Uliu knew that Valenti ’s The content of the letter was crucial, so he decided to leave quietly without disturbing anyone.
Tony de la Rovere ’s time as a bishop in Montina is not short, so even though he is not as capable as his two cousins, he still cultivated some forces in Montina, some of which were used by Alexander and Barron Di has been cleaned up, and some have not been implicated because they are just ordinary people.
Because of this, Uliu left very carefully. He did not know if anyone would report his whereabouts to Tony and Constantine to please the bishop at this time, although they might not necessarily notice his whereabouts, But Uliu did not want to take this risk.
So when he left, he did n’t tell anyone, and even when he went out, he looked so casual, so that the people who saw him did n’t doubt that he was going far, instead of just visiting the neighborhood as usual. .
Immediately after leaving the new castle of Montina, Uliu urged the horse to speed up, and he wanted to fight as far as possible before he was found missing.
Although he didn't quite think that the two relatives of the countess would really hunt down and intercept him, but the cautiousness and care he had developed since he was a child had made Uliu feel right to do multiple things.
In fact, Constantine did not pay attention to his disappearance at the beginning, until the bishop had arranged for the Scripture copywriter on a farm to pray, and reported to the bishop as if he saw the governor of the territory rushing from the nearby farm. After leaving, they realized that the Moor had not seen for a long time.
Bishop Tony realized what he was doing, and then he guessed that the Moor should have sent a letter to Alexander.
"Did she just not see her family get honor and status?" Constantine was very annoyed after hearing the bishop's speculation. He felt that Barenti was completely different from before. "This is the temptation of Gombré. She, I do n’t know what he has poured into her, but now she looks at us like he is looking at the enemy. "
"So maybe we should prepare ourselves."
Bishop Tony's words made Constantine look stunned. Looking at the strange look on the uncle's face, Constantine barely squeezed a smile.
"I just said that how Barenti could think of us as an enemy. She was my father's favorite daughter. She might have done too much, but she wouldn't really treat us as an enemy ..." Constantine said He said that his voice was gradually lowering, and he looked at the bishop a little helplessly, "Uncle, you would n’t be serious, do n’t say this is ridiculous, just look at the Montina army, you should know that it is not Possibly, they were all brought back from the east by Gombré. Even the Genoese among them were willing to listen to our orders, but the number was too small. "
"So do you object because of brothers and sisters or fear of failure?"
Bishop ’s words made Constantine speechless, he poured himself a glass of wine angrily, and after a big sip, Constantine looked at the bishop: "Then what do you think he would do if Gumbrai knew this? we?"
"You have too much heart, we are not going to hurt Barenti, just asking her to support you as the Duke of Ferrara," Tony de la Rovere clearly understands how to convince someone who has shaken his heart, he uses Try to make Constantine feel that this tone is actually nothing to induce the nephew until he is excited with his own description. "... Once you become the Duke of Ferrara, you can fully support Montina to regain their Forgive, know that the role you can play at that time is much more important than it is now. Maybe Gombré will be grateful that you will solve a big trouble for him after he broke the catastrophe. "
Constantine first hesitated, then he began to nod hard, and in the end he even couldn't wait to execute his uncle's plan as soon as possible.
"Do n’t worry, my dear, we still have to be careful," Tony comforted some impatient nephews. "As you said, this is the territory of Gombrane. Those barbarians are a big trouble if they are crazy, so we need to be careful. , In particular, can't make Barendi have any doubts, your sister is very clever in speaking. "
At the command of Barendi, Uliu first rushed to Pisa. This was because Pizza was much closer than Rome. More importantly, Barendi clearly told him that it would be troublesome for her to save Montina. The plan, the first thing to get is the support of Lucrezia.
This is somewhat difficult. Uliu feels that there is really nothing to say between the two mistresses. At least in his impression, it is only the Countess Cosenza who can really manage to be among the old ladies. Oh, now It should be called His Majesty the Queen of Naples.
From Montina to Pisa, there is a road under construction called
intercity highway
by Alexandria, although most of this road is simply to smooth the difficult ground and give it to people who live in the village near the road A little money, and then ask them to regularly clean the weeds or mud pits caused by the rain, but this is the first truly dedicated road between cities on the Apennine Peninsula. This inconspicuous road is not only for The caravans between the two cities provide very convenient transportation, and more importantly, almost all the artillery that was transported from Pisa to Montina has been rutting deeply from this road.
Uliu arrived in Pisa in the afternoon of the next day. Almost a whole day and night of running made him exhausted. Because the mount has been running nonstop, he just rushed into the city gate desperately after entering the city. The well at the place, even when the huge horse head plunged into a bucket and slammed it, almost lifted the master who was riding on the horse from his back.
Uliu jumped up and down from the horse in a hurry, desperately wanting to whip the stupid horse a few whips, but he was quickly attracted by the strange scene he saw.
Ulliu is arguably one of the most versatile people in Alexander ’s hands, so he immediately noticed some out-of-towners who clearly differed from the locals in their clothes The key is that they all have armed forces that look dangerous.
French.
Uliou almost guessed the origin of these people with a little attention. These people are very similar to some French people he has seen in Milan. The important thing is that many of them wear the kind of Italians that French people usually use. The wide-ridged saber satired as a "fire pass".
The shape of this kind of sword with a strange square blunt edge near the hilt is the main reason for being ridiculed as an "or strip", and the tip of the sword sometimes forms a cone that is acceptable but not suitable for hacking. The piercing head is the nemesis of many tightly sealed armor.
It is even said that the emperor himself designed a new type of armor that can better protect and cover the armor seams for this terrible weapon used to penetrate plate armor. The emperor also confidently took this armor as his own Named.
Just how can there be so many French people in Pisa?
Uliu immediately became careful. Instead of rushing to Lucrezia's riverside villa immediately, he first turned around on the street and saw that Pisa was still guarded by the City Defense Army.
Now that the Compatriot soldier Chen Ferrara, and Ofrei followed the earl to Naples, Uliu dare not imagine what would happen if something happened suddenly.
Although a team was wearing the Pisa City Defense Army, the team holding the Montina flag came across from the opposite side. Uliu took a closer look. After confirming that there was no problem with those people, he walked over to meet them.
As he approached the soldiers, the leading soldiers had discovered the Moorish anomalous behavior. He raised his hand vigilantly, and the soldiers behind him stopped immediately and dispersed to both sides.
"Always alert," Uliu murmured, and he said to the team officer, "I am Count Montina's personal servant. I want to see your team officer."
In Pisa, in addition to the City Defense Army, the Chamber of Commerce guards stationed in the Free Trade Zone, and also have the same city defense duties, but at the same time as Lucrezia and the Duchess of Pisa Duchess Esteles Guard Montina Direct troops, the number of this army is not fixed, it is dispatched exactly as needed, and the team officer of this army is Nikolai Macheni.
Since returning from the Balkans, Alexander has not been eager to find Mazzini from the army. Although he is indeed very concerned about the future achievements of the father of statistics, he found that Mazzini seems more interested in being a soldier. And what is interesting is that he actually gradually applied the statistical knowledge that he has begun to dabble in the army dispatch. This is to let Alexander simply transfer him to Pisa, so that he can study and practically improve his future. Promising statistical theory.
However, according to Alexander's vague memory, Nikolai Machiney did indeed once participate in the war when he was young, but it is clear that this person does not seem to have any special achievements in the military, but now it seems that this seems to be It has changed.
Seeing Uliu, Mazzini was surprised. He knew the Moorish position next to the count, which gave him the opportunity to solve his doubts.
"Why are there so many French people coming to Pisa, I heard that a French messenger came to see Mrs. Lucrezia." Mazzini asked strangely, not many people in this era like Mazzini did not hate the French , But this does not mean that he has any affection for them, especially these French people look so arrogant.
"The messenger of the French?" Uliou had already vaguely guessed the reason, but he felt that the French were really not a good time.
"I hope the French don't follow along and come in." Uliou decided to decide not to go to Lucrezia in public. He guessed that someone on the French side might know him, which was not a good thing for him.
Lucrezia still lives in the little house that he had with Alexander on the riverside, but now the nominal little house has actually become a large town villa that extends to both sides along the river bank. Lucrezia lives In this villa, the small two-storey building remains the same.
The process of seeing Uliu was neither thrilling nor complicated. After seeing Uliu sending the secret letter in the fruit basket sent by the maid, Lucrezia asked people to bring the Moors from the back garden into the boat by boat from the river. After her house, although this process is simple, after seeing Lucrezia himself, Uliu knows that things may be a bit troublesome.
Lucrezia's expression was cold, or the look of the Moorish eyes was alienated, which made Ulliu review himself immediately, and then he knew that it was probably because he had been staying in Montina during this time. For too long.
"So, are you now the court director of Montina?"
Sure enough, Lucrezia's first sentence proved Uliu's speculation that the Moors immediately bowed down with a low eyebrow, and the humility was a little bit of the eunuch's money in the Sudanese court.
"Ma'am, you know me, I have always followed the master, and the master's order is my life, so although you are my only hostess in my heart, but my responsibility can't help but make me Barenti Madam service. "
Listening to the Moorish words, Lucrezia looked slightly better, and then she frowned slightly: "Alexander knows that the French are coming? The people of Louis offered to land in Livorno."
Although he had already guessed this possibility, but because he had some contact with the French in advance, he was not worried about what the French might do to Pisa.
Uliu is now worried that Lucrezia may refuse Barenti's request for help because of contradictions.
He took out Valenti's letter with some concern. When he saw that Lukrezija had heard the strange look in Valenti's letter, Uliu's heart couldn't help mentioning it.
"Mrs. Barendi wants me to tell you that she is not asking you as an old wife, but as a woman who loves that person as much as you."
Uliu said carefully and handed the letter to Lucrezia, then he hesitated a little and did something he would never have done before.
Uliu knelt down carefully under the surprised gaze of Lucrezia, raised his head and said to her: "Montina is now facing a big trouble. If not handled properly, it will not only affect Montina, even It may affect everything the master is doing. Mrs. Barendi asks you to help him. Madam, I also ask you, Montina's future is all in your hands. "
Lucrezia slowly opened Barenti's letter in amazement. As her eyes swept over the letter, her look and the case changed.
"I know Caesar went to Ferrara, but why? Why did that Valentina de la Rovere intervene in Ferrara?" Lucrezia questioned Uliu angrily. "If not that woman would intervene." My brother attacked Ferrara, things might not be so bad. "
"Madam, you probably don't know. In fact, Mrs. Barendi did this to protect the lord's territory, or to protect the lord's Romagna." Uliu explained to Lucrezia a little helplessly when he said Kang Constantine's penetration of Montina, when the uncle and nephew forced Barenti to give up Bologna, Lucrezia showed an incredible look.
"Don't they know how important Romagna is to Alexandria, the people of the Rovere family are all evil dogs," Lucrezia angrily cursed the Rovere family with the only curse words she knew, only to see the Moors strange She immediately realized that these evil dogs also had her brother Caesar, and even only a little thought she also realized that there might be her father ’s part, which made Lukreziah ’s face red first, and then He was annoyed and said, "Why do they have to bully poor Alexander? Isn't he his family?"
Uliu wanted to say that it was because your poor Alexander had a big appetite, but he quickly said with a low eyebrow: "So I was instructed to ask you for help. Mrs. Barendi asked me to assure you, She came up with a plan that would not undermine the majesty of the Holy See and His Majesty at this time, but would also ensure that the Gombré family continued to rule over Romagna, even if it might be a good opportunity. "
Lucrezia listened suspiciously and continued to look down. When she saw what Barendi asked her to do, her eyebrows flicked up.
"This is impossible!" Lucrezia looked at Uliu angrily. "You heretic, you actually said that this would not damage my father's majesty, and that woman dared to propose such Claim."
"Mrs. this does not damage the dignity of His Majesty the Pope. After all, whether it is Bologna or Ferrara, which is the direct territory of the Pope, they have lost their dignity." Uliu first deliberately hit Lukrezi with a straightforward tone Ya, and then suddenly said before she was angry, "In addition, once Mrs. Barendi's plan succeeds, both Romagna and Tuscany are likely to become the real territory of the master. Madam, do n’t you think that Is n’t it too small for His Highness to have only one pizza? "
Uliu's last words seemed to hit the key point of Lucrezia's body at once ~ EbookFREE.me ~ She looked, and she couldn't help looking in the direction of the other room.
Seeing the look of Lukrezija, Uliu quickly continued: "I remember that the lord once promised to give His Highness Estrez a piece of land worthy of her. Don't you think that the lord said Tuscany ?"
"If, I mean if," Lucrezia looked at the letter in his hand, trying to suppress the faint excitement in his heart. "We can persuade the bishop, you know this is very risky. After all, if my father is angry, he is It ’s scary, so how can you ensure that the bishop is willing to listen to you?

Seeing the acquiescence of Lucrezia's seemingly suffering, Uliu bowed to salute again: "Please rest assured, I assure you that Bishop Mahimodu will be very happy to listen to us."
"Dear Madam, please allow me to report to you. I have successfully completed the first task you have given. Mrs. Lucrezia has finally agreed to your proposal. Next I am going to Rome, I will send you I promise to send your secret letter to Bishop Mahimodu, "In the space where I ate a little food and took a rest for a few hours, Uliu wrote a letter to Barendi" Also, as me The only hostess in your mind, please allow your faithful servant to warn you ... "
