Vol 3 Chapter 81: Early morning gunshots

The return of Alexander made Caesar a bit more complicated.
He had hoped to see Alexander as soon as possible, and Sanroni ’s letter made Caesar very surprised, although the news about Lukrezija ’s husband Giovanni Sforza has been secretly destroying the Borgia family ’s conspiracy. It's nothing new, but it was the first time someone pointed it out with such evidence.
Caesar knew that his father, Alexander VI, had great expectations for this family relationship with the Sforza family. He hoped to complete the penetration and disintegration of the forces of northern Italy through the marriage with Sforza, at least There is an ally with enough weight in Northern Italy.
But Giovanni Sforza made Alexander VI very disappointed. When Sanello's letter arrived, the pope even lost his temper because of the bad news.
This is why Caesar wrote to ask Alexander to come back as soon as possible. He needs to know more detailed information about San Niro, and he wants to know if he will start with Giovanni Sforza now, can Alexander give him Any useful suggestions.
But now, looking at Alexander, who suddenly appeared, Caesar's mind changed a little. He didn't want to see the young man so soon, and even had the idea of ​​"if he doesn't show up like this again" in his heart.
Caesar knew that he would think that it was related to the woman who suddenly disturbed him, or that she was a girl. It is said that she was actually just 13 years old.
Thinking in his mind, the gloom on Caesar's face quickly turned into joy, which is one of the reasons for his complicated mood, because he was really hoping to see Alexander at this time.
"My friend, you came back really fast. Are you rushing back by riding on Pagasos in Greek mythology?" Caesar was somewhat curious. He remembered that Alexander had infantry, so he could not He hurried back to Rome, unless he threw the infantry behind, thinking that he looked behind Alexander, and when he saw that there were only a group of bohemians running sweating, Caesar could n’t help but look aside Nashan looked the same.
The Bohemian ’s unusually flexible maneuver impressed Caesar at this moment. Think of Sophia and the Bohemians who swept the city of Rome overnight, and then think that Alexander actually rushed back to Rome in two days. Caesar suddenly felt that he should get along well with Nashan. No matter what the reason, the position of this Bohemian in his eyes suddenly became important.
Alexander did not know that at this moment Caesar began to think about digging him no matter what his mind was. He nodded to Caesar to answer his question. Running all the way made him already physically and mentally exhausted. Lived, but seeing Nashan's spirit revive, he said: "I heard that a lot happened tonight when I first entered the city of Rome. I just want to know if Sophia is still safe?"
Although Alexander looked at Nashan when he asked this question, his eyes also paid attention to Caesar.
Along the way, he had heard rumors that Sophia actually hit Caesar's team.
When he first heard the news, he was not only surprised but also worried. Alexander knew that Caesar was not a broad-minded person. In some ways, his thoughts must be reminiscent of his father.
So Alexander carefully paid attention to the look on Caesar's face when asking this question, but to his surprise, Caesar's expression was somewhat inexplicable. When he heard Sophia's name, he neither showed anger nor pretended to ignore it. But a flash of lightness flickered quickly.
This caused a little uncomfortable discomfort in Alexander's heart. He was not worried that Caesar would be offended to show his hatred for Sophia. Don't say that Caesar Borgia is not the chilling Duke of Poison, Even if he is now the commander-in-chief of the Italian Papal State, Alexander will not give up his protection of Sophia because of his power.
But what's wrong with his expression now?
Alexander was thinking about Caesar ’s strange look. Nashan ’s words interrupted his thoughts:
Is Sophia still safe? I ’m also wondering about this now. If you gave her a set of armor, I thought it was a good one before. Idea, but now I think it ’s awful.
Saying Nashan looked at the cavalry behind Alexander again.
It seems that you have suffered a lot along the way, let me go to Sophia, by her side. Many of the people who bring it should not be in big trouble. "
When it came to big troubles, Nashan also looked at Caesar. In his opinion, Sophia had already caused such big troubles, and then she really couldn't think of any more extraordinary things she could do.
But despite this thought, Nashan's mouth showed a smug smile.
He felt that Sophia was not his daughter, even the son of the Pope, what about the noble archbishop. Sophia must have scared the young nobleman before.
"I'm going to Sophia," Alexander pulled the reins regardless of his fatigue. He nodded to Caesar. "Master, I can only report to you about the details of this trip tomorrow. I must go to my wife." He said to Caesar waved his salute "I apologize for Sophia's previous offense to you."
Caesar raised his hand, he did n’t know whether it was a salute or expressed acceptance of the apology, seeing Nashan and Alexander leaving the Bohemians together quickly, looking at the whirlwind, Caesar was caught Brief contemplation.
The city of Rome this night was very lively until dawn.
Either Alexandria or Nashan, apparently not as familiar as Caesar, so they can only get information about the Bohemian cavalry led by Sophia.
It is strange that Sophia and her group of Bohemian cavalry suddenly disappeared, without any news.
At this time, Uliu carefully spoke about Joanna's injury, which surprised both of them!
Nashan almost drew a knife and chopped Uliu on the spot. Although he was somewhat utilitarian for Joanna, the nature of loving women in his bones made Nashan obsessed with Joanna, especially the new widow. The little restraint and the imprisonment of being concealed by the dark mourning clothes, but once triggered, the extremely surging passion all fascinated Nashan.
"I should have hung you there by now," Nashan yelled at the nearest lamppost to the Moors. "Look at what you are doing, idiot. Two women, only two women." Ah, you can't control them. "
"Is Joanna's injury serious?" Alexander whispered, asking Joanna to leave Portico Palace and live in Marino Palace after he left, but he obviously could not use this reason to shirk his responsibility. Because of the various censures that Joanna might suffer from being injured, he must know what happened as soon as possible. "You said that the person who stabbed came out of the secret passage with the priest Farne?"
Alexander quickly grasped the key to the matter.
The Marino Palace was originally the residence that Cardinal Monteiro arranged for Joanna, and now the assassin can actually enter the Marino Palace from a secret passage to assassinate the Queen of Naples, and immediately after the secret passage was discovered, the priest Farne It suddenly appeared, invisibly interrupting the assassin's pursuit.
Alexander wondered about these things that could not be described by coincidence at the same time, and wondered whether he could get rid of Joana's passive assassination in the Palace of Marino.
However, the immediate task now is to find Sophia. Alexander is worried that the thoughts that must be reported with Caesar will not let Sophia go easily. This is also the reason why he and Caesar immediately went to Sophia after he could not even say two sentences. Protect Sophia before Caesar starts her revenge.
Strangely, Sophia disappeared.
Alexander didn't worry that Caesar had already started, because even with Caesar's character of revenge and no overnight revenge, it was too late to retaliate, so where did Sophia go?
Alexandria had no choice but to head off with Nashan to find someone. He made a round in the city, and even after running up the Tiber Bridge, which caused a commotion in the Vatican Guard that blocked the bridge, in the early morning when the sky was already bright, Alexander finally I met a man who came out of Marino Palace and was looking for his servant everywhere.
After hearing that Sophia had returned after a night of looting, she returned to the Palace of Marino. Alexander immediately rushed back.
When it was still far from Marino Palace, Alexandria had heard an unusual noise, which sounded as if it had reached the vegetable market, which made Alexander feel strange and worried at the same time, and when he came to the palace Seeing the scene in front of him nearby, Alexander felt a little ignorant.
The open space at the entrance of the Marino Palace is not large. If it is not exactly at a T-junction, the front of this door can only be described as narrow.
Now, in this small open space, a large group of people with different clothes and different identities are blocking the two closed doors of the Palace of Marino. Some of these people are filled with righteous indignation, some are pounding their chests, some are silent Tears, some eyes are awesome, some of them are too emotional, if not a row of bohemian people who look like ruthless characters at the door, they rushed up and smashed the door.
"What's the matter?" Alexander whispered to the strange-looking servant next to him.
"Adult, this," the servant looked at Uliu next to him. "These people came to ask for something."
"I want something?" Alexander vaguely guessed something. He also looked at Uliu, who was a little embarrassed. "What's going on?"
The Moors froze and said, "I think it was the lady who robbed these people's things. No, it's not that they robbed them, it was those who robbed them."
Alexander thought about it, and then he understood what happened.
Needless to say, this is black eating black, Sophia became a mob robber.
And these guys who had behaved like sheep when they were robbed before, actually wanted to get their stuff back from Sophia at this time.
Alexander did not stay, he walked towards the gate of the Palace of Marino, and Uliu next to him had waved backwards, as the Bohemians quickly crossed Alexandria from both sides, when those who found strange things came back to God ， Alexander had already passed through the crowd under the protection of the light cavalry and came to the gate of the Palace of Marino.
"Wait a minute!" A man shouted far away from the Bohemian cavalry, "You are Gombre, I know it is you, your woman took my stuff, you have to give it back to me Otherwise I will tell all the Romans that you instructed the bitch, you are the behind-the-scenes messenger of the riot last night. "
The man's scream immediately caused a response from a group of people who did not care whether they said it was true at this time. They only wanted the Gombray who "instructed his woman to rob himself" to compromise because of fear.
Alexander, who had just walked up the steps, stopped. He turned his back slightly to those people and then turned slowly.
"Who just said I should give him something back?" Alexander didn't get angry because of the shouting of these people. He asked in a calm tone, his eyes swept across the crowd.
The shouting people disappeared, and their eyes looked involuntarily towards a thin, tall man in front.
The man seemed to be a little nervous, but when he looked at a group of people around him, his courage grew again.
He pushed away the Bohemians in front of him and stood two steps forward in front of everyone.
"I'm……"
As soon as the man opened his mouth, Alexander was interrupted by raising his hand.
"What did you just say?" Alexander asked.
"I, I want to get my things back, yes, I want to get back the property that belongs to me." When it comes to this, the man's tone is tough.
"I asked what you just called Sophia." Alexander continued to ask.
Anxiety appeared on the man's face, he wanted to open his mouth to say something, but he didn't wait for him to speak. Alexander had turned around. When he turned around again, he already had an extra hand pulled from the side guard belt Musket!
Pull the hammer away and pull the trigger!
The gunshots roared in an instant, and the smoke was splashing!
The man had fallen on the steps, his chest was stained with blood, his body was twitching, and the blood flowing from the heart he shot through quickly took his life away until he couldn't move anymore.
The new flintlock gun named by Alexander as the Sanero style completes the mission of murder for the first time!
"I will return your property to you," Alexander said to the crowd who had been stunned by his recognized murder. "But I ca n’t tolerate any woman who insults me. I will not give him a fair duel because The duel is just to protect my own reputation, not the punishment he deserves. "
With that said, Alexander's gaze once again passed the crowd, but no one dared to stare at him at this time.
"As for your property, I hope you think about it. Without Sophia, you may be destitute now, so don't expect to get all the money back, that is what you should pay."
Having said that, Alexander no longer ignored the people who were stunned by the scene before him, turned and strode into the already opened door of the Palace of Marino.
At a window on the second floor of the Marino Palace, Na Shan, looking at the following scene, shrugged his arms with his arms.
Feeling the movement behind him, he turned to look at the bed, Joanna, who was terrified by the gunshot.
"It's okay, my queen, it's a guy exhaling his wife," Nashan walked over to comfort Joanna, but then he pouted again. "This kid is really brave, but I like it."
Outside Sophia's room, Alexander put his head gently against the door panel.
It was not long before he left, but he felt as if he hadn't seen his beloved girl for too long.
Just downstairs, when a servant told him that the man he killed was a relative of Farne ’s house, Alexander just smiled.
He did not regret killing that person.
As he said, if you give that person a chance of a fair duel ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Even if the final victory, the actual maintenance is only his so-called dignity as a man.
Even the duel itself is an insult to Sophia, because it means that he equals the name full of contempt and insult.
As for saying that it was the Farnese, Alexander did not care.
Julia Farne is indeed the favored mistress of Alexander VI, even known as the bride of Christ, but she is not a Borgia after all.
What about even Borgia?
Alexander had a hunch that as he returned to Rome, the short honeymoon period before him and Caesar seemed to be over.
With this in mind, Alexander gently pushed the door open.
Immediately, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
Although it was already known that Sophia had rescued Barendi de la Rovere, but looking at the two people in bed who were hugging each other and sleeping soundly, Alexander felt that the style was a bit wrong.
