Vol 3 Chapter 67: Covenant in the cave

Since coming to this era, although I have encountered many hardships and dangers, and even experienced life-threatening dangers, but not like this now, I know that the woman in front of me has a lot of tricks, but I have to follow along, even It may fall into her trap again in the next moment.
Alexander put his ear against the stone that blocked the mine and listened carefully. He needed to determine whether it was safe outside, or at least to make sure that even if there were enemies, he was confident that he could use the woman as a hostage to escape danger.
At the same time, his eyes were staring at Connie so as to prevent her from doing any tricks.
It was quiet outside, and no movement was heard, which made Alexander a little strange. The only explanation he wanted to come was that as he guessed, the strange army hidden in the mountain should be related to Connie, and she was obviously a company. Colombo is included in the calculation.
Connie looked at Alexander quietly and saw him sticking to the stone to listen to the movement. Not only did she not make a noise, but she also put her ear on it and listened to him not far away from Alexander.
After listening for a while, a smile appeared on her face.
"There's no movement, isn't it," Connie seemed to smile, and she hugged her shoulders slightly to warm herself a little, and whispered, "You must go out as I said, or the two of us will freeze here, Decide quickly, I can't stand it anymore. "
Alexander glared at the woman in front of him. At this time, both of them were half of their faces on the stone, so close that they could feel the cold even when they breathed.
The woman faced Alexander with a playful smile, and seemed to be laughing at his dilemma. When she saw the glance in his eyes, Connie suddenly moved slightly forward, her face almost affixed to Alexander ’s face and whispered:
If You are my captives. You are my captive. Although you have sorely grabbed your neck, I can forgive you for being unreasonable to me, but I want you to listen to my commands from now on. "
"Then you were eventually betrayed as you did in Colombo?" Alexander asked coldly, tilting his head back slightly and listening carefully to the movement outside, but the outside was always quiet except for the faint wind, which made him Some difficult decisions.
Alexander didn't doubt that the woman would immediately gobble away once he got rid of his control, but it was not a way to be so stiff. Seeing the woman's finger moving slightly on his palm holding the sword, he was a little bit bored and wanted to fling Open, but then suddenly his heart moved.
"Where is Colombo now?" Alexander asked suddenly, feeling the woman's finger resting on the back of his hand, his eyes fixed on the face in front of him.
Connie ’s appearance is good, but it is not a stunning kind. She does not have Sophia ’s proud body that is almost completely incompatible with her age, nor does she have a lively but arrogant temperament. As for the simple appearance, she Also compared to Lukrezija.
But at this time, Conneo made Alexander dare not despise it at all, or that it had nothing to do with whether she was beautiful or even whether she was a woman. He now regards Conneo as an opponent, and Still a very difficult opponent.
"Tell me where is Colombo?" Alexander asked again. He felt that he seemed to have overlooked something. From the beginning, he regarded Colombo as the culprit of all this, but as things changed, he found that the woman in front of him seemed to be. The main messenger behind everything, which made him temporarily forget the Colombo after the accident. Now when facing the dilemma, he suddenly remembered this key figure.
"I thought you wouldn't ask that person anymore." Connie smiled.
Alexander noticed the kind of Connie's tone when talking about Colombo, and he suddenly burst into a sudden thought.
"What did Caesar send you to do?" Connie asked her turn this time. Although it looked cold, she didn't seem to be in a hurry to get out of the mine. "Just to get through Saniro to Rome?" "
Looking at Connie ’s flashing eyes, Alexander felt that he had guessed something. While secretly surprised by this woman ’s means, he tried to ask in a calm tone that was not unexpected:
Tell me, have you taken Colombo? killed?"
Connie smiled in his eyes, and finally seemed to see a triumphant smile.
"You finally guessed it," Connie nodded. "Yes, Colombo is dead, just after you left, so do you know who killed him?"
Alexander looked silently at the woman in front of him and shook his head helplessly after a while, saying, "I think it should be me."
"Yes, it's you," Conneo nodded as if rewarding the right students. "Originally, when people saw his body, they would find something from him, and then they would find that you were the murderer who killed him. As for the reason, it may only be a temporary dispute, but it is more that you discovered some secrets between him and the Sforza family, and you are obviously a spy sent by Caesar. "
Alexander listened silently. He was sure that this woman was really crazy. He realized that even if he did n’t find much, he was eventually doomed to step into the trap, or that no matter who came, he would eventually be. Such a result.
From the day the Sanroni mine stopped supplying coal to Rome, the woman planned everything.
It is ridiculous that it was precisely Colombo who ordered the suspension of coal delivery.
But he never thought it was an order to send himself to hell!
Regardless of whether there is this heavy snowfall, Rome must send someone to thoroughly investigate why the coal mines at the Sanroni mine will stop supplying.
And no matter who is sent, or what kind of mission, the person will eventually play the role of the murderer.
Or it should be said that there is nothing better than a person from Rome who killed the Sforza family to provoke a dispute or even a war.
Think again about the strange army, whether they are Ottomans or not, but as long as they appear, everything will become more complicated and may even make the already terrible situation completely chaotic.
Alexander looked at Connie with incredible eyes, no matter who she worked for, or whether the past she said was true or not, but now, the woman in front of her is completely provoking an inability for Italy in the future. War to avoid.
"You want to use me to start a war, or you still want to give me the same end as Colombo once it is used up."
Connie did not speak, but made a slight noise, and Alexander immediately noticed that she seemed to be about to retreat.
Alexander laughed. Although this woman really made him feel uncomfortable, when he thought about the reason, he had an indescribable ease, because he knew that this woman, although powerful, had fatal weaknesses.
"I don't know if the stories you told me before are true, or if you really have a father who was framed and threatened," Alexander said with a chuckle. "But I know you must have other loved ones, like before. The boy who gave you the news. "
The sword that had originally been on Connie's shoulder shook slightly, and Alexander was keenly aware of some changes in Connie's darkness.
"Maybe he is your last family member, maybe the only person you trust and rely on. As for your father and family, I also think that they still exist," Alexander said slightly lowered his voice. "You know I came with the army Yes, they have an army of Bohemians and peasants in my territory. I not only paid them generous rewards, but also gave them enough loot. I even promised them that they could get land. All of this is In order to let them listen to my orders. I assure you that I will 'repay' you twice, and they will find every one of your relatives and friends, and your father who knows no truth, and then kill them. "
Silence, there were only two people breathing heavily in the darkness.
"You are scaring me." Connie finally said.
"No, this is a reminder," Alexander said unconsciously. "The Bohemians are not my men, they are my wife's father. But because of this they are more terrible than my soldiers, because My wife will chase you to avenge me. Believe me in order to find you, she will kill all people related to you. She can chase the end of the world to avenge me. She will kill all before you die. All your loved ones. "
Connie ’s breathing became rapid. She could not imagine that this person dared to threaten her at this time, but because of this, she had to consider whether he was telling the truth.
There was silence between the two, and after a while Connie seemed to shake her head.
"I don't believe you," the woman said coldly. "You will tell Caesar everything, which is too dangerous for me, and you dare not kill me here because you don't know what will happen next." "
Alexander smiled secretly in his heart. He knew that the woman was right. Now neither of them dare to believe each other easily, but they dare not act rashly.
At this moment, Alexander suddenly felt a slight vibration from the body next to the stone in the hole. He immediately pressed the sword forward against the neck of Connie and listened carefully to the ear against the stone. .
A mess of footsteps from far and near.
Alexander soon heard the voice coming in the direction of the mine, which made his heart nervous.
"Are you afraid?" Connie whispered, seeming to be afraid of stimulating Alexander. "Relax, I will not treat you, but you must listen to me, and you should thank me for speaking. I was really like you guessed before. Deal with you like that, but I changed my mind now, maybe we can cooperate. "
"Oh?"
"We may not be enemies," Connie also listened carefully to the sound outside. "I can let you go, but you can't spoil me. Don't think I'm afraid of your threats. Now it's mine."
Looking at Connie ’s obscure silhouette hidden in the dark, Alexander wondered how much of her words were true.
But apparently the people outside didn't give him much time to think, and suddenly there was an eager shout outside the mine: "Keep the mine!"
Then a loud blast came from a distance.
"I think that should be my person," Alexander had vaguely heard the familiar bohemian whistles, and the sound of the horseshoes peculiar to the light cavalry hitting the ground like a whirlwind. "It seems that your abacus is not well played. "
Listening to the ironic words of Alexander, Connie felt that fortunately this was in the dark, so that he would not let him see his ugly face.
"We have to make a decision, otherwise people outside will fight," Alexander said while listening to the outside movement, while Connie said, "Whether you believe it or not, I do n’t want to care about you, so I can forgive you for trying. Harm to me, but you must promise that I will not let Colombo ’s death be related to me. As for how you want to provoke the battle between Borgia and Sforza, I ca n’t control it, otherwise I will announce all your tricks, I believe someone must be angry at your failure. "
Connie was silent for a while, and finally made a "huh" sound.
"I promised you, but you also promised that I would never say what is happening today, otherwise I would make you a common enemy of Rome and Milan."
Connie finished speaking, and shouted loudly towards the clogged stone gap.
Her screaming didn't attract attention at first. With the screams of the war horses coming, you could hear that the two sides had already put their hands together.
"Unfortunately, there is no musket." Alexander pushed Connie out, stooping and groping on the ground. When he touched a stone, he immediately grabbed it and slammed it hard against the blocked stone.
One or two clicks, when Alexander's arm was already numb, he first heard a cry from outside: "Wait, there is movement!"
Then, a young voice shouted eagerly: "Is Miss Connie you, are you inside?"
"Julian, come and save me quickly!" Connie shouted loudly at the hole, but then her voice was covered.
"Miss, what's wrong with you, are you okay!"
The young man outside was suddenly tense, but what made him even more nervous was the voice of the man who came from the hole: "The person telling you to stop immediately, otherwise I will kill your mistress."
"you dare!"
The teenager outside was stunned, and then shouted.
"If you dare to hurt Miss Connie, I guarantee that your family will suffer!"
"What a coincidence, I said this to your lady just now," Alexander laughed from the mine first, and then his voice became low. "Stop your people immediately, I can guarantee that your lady will not Something else, otherwise you can only see the dead Connie Malindao. "
There was a silence outside for a while, and then there was a cry from near to far, seemingly unable to run all the way: "Don't fight when you stop! Miss is in that Gombray's hand!"
There were bursts of excavation sounds outside the mine, and the two people inside looked at each other very closely.
The gap gradually became larger, and the bright light she shone on also illuminated Connie ’s face, and she was not used to raising her hand to block it.
The light also shone on her body wearing only a half-length inner skirt, and her two smooth thighs looked extremely slender under the light.
"Give me clothes first," Connie said to the teenager who came in half of his head. "And the people who told us all backed away."
"But Miss ..."
What a teenager named Julian wanted to say ~ EbookFREE.me ~ was stopped by Connie.
Several men's clothes were thrown in through the hole, followed by Carlo's shout: "Sir, are you okay."
"It's okay."
Alexander responded. It didn't take long for him to put on a thick woolen coat before he realized that his feet began to become hot and uncomfortable.
He knew it was frostbite.
When the blocked mine was finally opened, Alexander saw Carlo and Busaco standing at the entrance.
To his surprise, Connie ’s people were indeed as far away from the mine as she ordered.
Seeing them, Alexander couldn't help but stunned.
Although none of them said anything, but somehow, at first sight of them, Alexander knew their origins.
These people, like "he", came from the other side of the Mediterranean.
