Vol 3 Chapter 144: crisis

Until coming out of the city hall, Alexander was wondering what Caesar meant.
Obviously, being the so-called 'protector of the people' is just an excuse and reason. The purpose should naturally be to allow him to be with Giovanni Sforza, so it takes so much effort to put the two of them together. For what?
Alexander knew that Giovanni Sforza must have been very hostile to him. Speaking of it, if it was not that Rome was still in the hands of the French, it is estimated that when the news of the killing of Colombo came out, Sforza ’s He was asked to take revenge.
The reason why Alexander thinks this is not necessarily because of how close the Sforza family is, or how high the position of Colombo is in their family, but because of the ones that have been left from the previous Colombo It can be guessed from the news that he seems to know some news about the Sforza family preparing to deal with Alexander VI.
Although the Sforza family and Alexandre VI have long been detached from each other, it is clear that they really want to deal with the Borgia family who is the object of the marriage. This is somewhat surprising.
It can be seen from the fact that Giovanni did not hesitate to falsify the evidence and urged Alexander VI to start working on Giovanni Sforza. At least until then, Alexander VI did not seem to be determined.
Wait, against Giovanni Sforza?
Alexander suddenly moved his heart. He could n’t remember exactly when the conflict between Borgia and Sforza broke out, but clearly it should be not far from the end of this marriage. He still remembers that this year, Joe Vani Sforza is about to have to face the fate of running alone, and from then on he will completely become a stranger with Lucrezia.
It was this year, and Giovanni Sforza has now returned from the battlefield, which means that the Borgia family will soon start.
At this time, let yourself be the sheriff of Rome with this unlucky ghost destined to wear a green hat. What is the unspeakable purpose of this?
Alexander was almost certain that there was a conspiracy in this appointment, but it was unclear what it was.
And he also guessed that since Caesar could make this arrangement, he must have considered what he would do if he refused to act as the sheriff.
In fact, he did not immediately agree.
Skop's words were always haunting him, although he didn't know why the Farnese family wanted to give him a warning, but Caesar's sudden change of attitude to him also aroused his vigilance.
Before returning to Rome, whether it was because of a conflict with the Farnese family or because of a subtle change in Caesar's attitude towards himself, Alexander had realized that the relationship between the two was different.
Especially with the contact with the Loviré family, Alexander knew that his short-term "harmony" with the Pogia family was almost coming to an end.
Now Caesar suddenly showed his favor, and even let him take up such an important position, Alexander could not have no doubts.
Caesar should also be able to guess his reaction, so how would he deal with himself, or force himself to follow?
Alexander couldn't help but think about it, not long after he left the City Hall with all kinds of doubts. He had just crossed the City Hall Square and walked onto Trajan Street, and he saw a group of men looking like menacing Romans, walking towards them.
Those are ordinary civilians or ordinary rich people who don't seem to have anything special. If they don't have all kinds of weapons in their hands, and many people still have fierce eyes, Alexander will not pay too much attention to them.
Although still far away, Alexander vaguely noticed what was wrong, and he whispered to Paul Busako to be vigilant while ordering the hunting guards to slow down.
Sure enough, when those people approached, some of them suddenly made a surprised voice.
Then someone shouted loudly: "Look, that is the team of Gombré, I know his flag!"
The shout immediately caught the attention of others. When someone immediately asked who was Gomblay and what the person had done, the person who had originally shouted began to shout excitedly at his companion: "This man and the French do After doing business, he sold food to the French army and just helped the French fight the coalition forces. This man is a French running dog! "
The man's words instantly caused the anger of the people who seemed already irritable. They began to greet Alexander's team while shouting. When they approached, Alexander clearly heard them shouting. "French running dog!" "Get out of Rome!" And so on.
The hunting guards quickly gathered around Alexandria. They lowered their body and dragged the reins with one hand in front of them. The other hand held the musket on the arm as a support, ready to shoot.
Paul Busaco ’s hand held the saber ’s handle, and he was not prepared to withdraw the saber before Alexander ’s order, because that might lead to a terrible bloodshed. On the contrary, people in this era were sometimes afraid of rifles. The more familiar cold weapons will cause their anxiety, of course, Busaco believes that because many of these people should not have seen the power of firearms, especially at such a short distance, the only thing that makes Busaco feel a bit The disadvantage is that the streets of Rome do not seem to be conducive to the rapid deployment and rapid maneuvering of the guards, which makes him miss the musketeers who walk slowly, if they are here, with such narrow street terrain, dense The shooting will bring a real slaughter.
While instructing the hunting guard to calm down and not act rashly, Alexander watched the people opposite him closely. He guessed that these people would not have found him by coincidence, but he might have paid attention to him from the beginning. As for why he had to wait until He came out of the city hall, instead of giving him trouble on the way, maybe not a sentence that could not be explained before.
Sure enough, when those people swarmed into the ranks of Alexander and at the same time attracted more ordinary people to watch because of their shouts, Alexander smelled a trace of conspiracy.
He ordered the soldiers to prohibit firing casually, and ordered the hunting guards to quickly retreat to the city hall not far away. He believed that as long as they retreated into the building, with the firepower of the hunting guards, even if this group of Romans were all heavily covered Knight, he can also let these people know what is the coming of the hot weapon era.
But those people seemed to be aware of Alexander's purpose, and they began to shout loudly while shouting to let the people around them stop their retreat.
Alexander's expression finally changed, he knew how dangerous the blind people were, or no one knew better than him how terrible the blind people were!
Do n’t say that the current musket ca n’t face so many people coming from all directions at the same time, even if he can, he ca n’t just order to shoot, or even if he can get rid of these blind people this time, unless he flees Rome immediately, Otherwise, the next face of the city will be crazy revenge.
The irritated people are completely uncontrolled, even without rational beasts. The ancient Roman city is a witness to the outbreak of such beasts. I do n’t know how many big men with heavy powers have been drowned in this terrible. In the tide of water, as to whether they really committed those crimes that were accused by the people and then utterly punished with capital punishment, no one has long pursued them.
Alexander quickly ordered the rear guards to move closer to the city hall. He knew that as long as he approached the city hall, the people inside could not help but respond.
But those people seemed to be prepared too early, so some of them had already ran behind Alexander's team in advance, and then stopped on the road and began to shout loudly to provoke the crowd on the road to stop Alexander's team.
"This man was fighting for the French just now. He robbed the coalition supplies and looked at his soldiers. They used the weapons provided by the French. Now they are coming to the city to help the French." A man shouted loudly, "We have survived a winter, and finally wait until the French have to go like winter, but they still want to help the French. Is this what the Romans want to see?"
A skinny man jumped on a stone. , Pointed at the team of Alexander in the crowd with a shuriken: "Do n’t let them escape, as long as these people have the opportunity to escape now, they will then come back and kill all of us. You forgot that this person once Was it in this square that the poor Romans were hanged by the French, and it was the woman who killed the young Roman woman himself! "
The man ’s shout was so loud that he could hear it even through the hustle and bustle of the crowd. Alexander ’s heart was suddenly inexplicably tightened. He followed the sound, and through the crowd ’s surging head, he saw the distance The eyes of the man standing on the stone and staring at him.
He could not forget those eyes, those eyes full of hatred, the anger and hatred in those eyes were even like the terrible accusation from hell, and even more terrible, there was an indescribable heat in those eyes. It seems that anything will be scorched by this hot eye.
But the man's face was painted with an exaggerated pattern, which looked like a mask. But when the look on his face changed, the pattern couldn't be twisted, and now his face was completely twisted. A terrible look, the mouth that was suspiciously painted with scarlet mouth exaggeratedly opened, and after staring at the moment, Alexander saw that he extended his right hand, gestured on his throat, and slowly made a cut The action of the larynx.
Alexander's hand quickly held the musket. Although he knew that it was almost impossible to hit at this distance and in this situation, he still couldn't help but want to shoot.
He recognized the person, or the eyes.
Alexander believed that the man just did that, not to kill him.
His goal is Sophia!
That man was telling him that he would kill Sophia, and even kill her in front of Alexander if possible, so that he could also experience the pain of losing his loved one!
The man's figure had disappeared into the crowd, but Alexander had the illusion that he was always staring at him secretly.
Enemies hiding in the dark are terrible. When they appear each time, they are often at the time when the opponent is the most difficult to guard against, and now for Alexander it is the most difficult to guard against.
The people who were spurred all around started to follow the team towards Alexandria. Many of them may not want to participate. More people do n’t even know who Gombre is, they do n’t care what he did, but blind obedience and restless They let them follow behind others involuntarily.
Alexander felt the crisis, this time he only brought the hunting guards but not the Agri Musketeers or the Bohemians. This made him afraid to order fire because of the small number of people although he had empty firearms. The people on the opposite side also seem to have discovered Alexander's scruples, and finally someone started to attack them with weapons.
Although it was just holding a spear and stabbing at the nearest hunting guard, this action seemed to open a terrible gate, and the crowd around the formation that had formed a certain distance with the hunting guards began to shrink. People Gradually more and more daring light burst into his eyes.
"Hunting guard, draw a knife! Hold a gun, prepare!" Paul Busaco issued an order.
For a while, the sound of sabre sheathing rang out, and the hunting guards crossed the knife with one hand, and the guns of the gun racks aimed at the crowd in front of them.
"Sir, you have to leave here." Paul Busako whispered that he knew that the next coming would be a fierce battle. At such a close distance, the hunting guards might even have shot after the first shot. Before throwing the muskets, you will face white-blade fighting, and in such a narrow place, there is no room for cavalry.
Alexander frowned, knowing that he was indeed in immense danger. This was unexpected when he first entered the city.
Although Skop had given him a warning, the scene before him was completely unexpected.
Alexander couldn't help but look back at the town hall behind him.
The town hall is quiet ~ EbookFREE.me ~ It seems that there is no reaction to what happened before them.
"It really was used."
Alexander couldn't help laughing with a self-deprecating wry smile. Although he didn't know the purpose of Caesar's doing this, it was clear that he wanted to use himself to arouse the anger of the Romans, or to use the Romans to provoke himself to kill.
Now it seems that regardless of the result, he has achieved his goal.
Because whether or not to shoot, a riot is impossible to avoid.
"Hunting guard, follow my orders!"
Thinking about this, Alexander suddenly pulled out his sword. With his cry, the hunting guards simultaneously issued a "Yoo ~" cries full of offensive and aggression.
And this originated from the cry of the Aggri hunters in order to intimidate the prey, which has become the unique battle number of the hunting guards.
"The musket is ready!" Alexander's voice rang in the formation.
"Adult," Pelotto Cardron, who was standing outside in front of the window on the second floor of the City Hall, looked back excitedly and yelled at Caesar. "It may be about to fight."
Caesar, sitting in the marble bathtub, bored the steaming water bouncing on his face, then opened his eyes and looked at Pelotto Cardron.
"Don't worry, keep watching."
"Good lord." Pelotto Cardron turned his head in response, and then suddenly a surprised look appeared on his face. "Master, it seems a bit wrong."
"Is Giovanni here, this seems a bit early." Caesar stood up from the bath.
"No grown-up, not your brother-in-law," Pelotto Cardron looked back in amazement. "I saw it, saw ..."
"What did you see?" Caesar walked impatiently to the window and looked out. Then he first showed a stunned expression, and then he could not help but curse to "Damn!"
