Vol 3 Chapter 177: Encounter under the city of Pisa

The Republic of Pisa, this city is by no means a good place for Alexander.
Pisa in history was a small but brilliant miniature republic. After winning the battle for the sea power with Genoa, Pisa once became the overlord of the young Lenian Sea.
Pisa has always been a republic. Although the Zaroni family subverted the republican system and established the noble principality nearly a hundred years ago, the Pisa people were always not interested in noble rule.
Just 3 years ago, the citizens of the city launched a riot without warning, they drove away the Zaroni family, and then re-established the republic.
Or it should be said that it was not without warning. After the riot that overthrew the rule of the Medici family in Florence, which was less than 40 miles from Pisa, the call for rebuilding the Republic has already sounded throughout the city of Pisa, and now Pisa Completely modeled on the way of Florence, a republic city-state managed by the citizens and ruled by themselves was established, but although Pisa was influenced by Florence too much, but for some special reasons, the relationship between the city and Florence was not Harmony, on the contrary, because of the fight against Florence, the relationship between Pisa and the Vatican has become closer.
For Alexander, Pisa is clearly a crisis everywhere.
He quickly looked back at Lucrezia next to him, and seeing the excitement on her face, he was more certain of his thoughts. Obviously, Lucrezia was very happy to be in "her place".
"Ma'am, you'd better be careful." Alexander said with a hand and gently wrapped around Lucrezia's waist. Although he was not strong, Lucrezia could feel his short sword hidden in the cuffs cut through Her skirt shook slightly on her skin.
"Do you think I'll betray you?" Lucrezia asked softly as the small group of cavalry approached.
There was a moment when Alexander wanted to believe that she would not do this, but he dared not take the risk.
Lucrezia is a very strange woman. Today she has the innocence and romance of a girl, and in the future she has a female-specific attachment and passion for love, but she is also obviously fickle, not only because of her The well-known marriages of the past, more importantly, even if in the future she finally got rid of the control of her father and brother, and found a husband who is reliable and deeply in love with her, this woman still could not resist the desire for fresh love, And found one lover after another to satisfy her desire for freshness.
Therefore, Lucrezia is a fickle woman in front of her, even though she is still young, Alexander still can't believe her easily, let alone risking her life on her.
Because of this, the dagger in his hand was not retracted, but instead it was sent forward slightly. The cold sword face slipped gently on the smooth skin of Lucrezia, the feeling that made her smirk smile. Froze.
The small group of cavalry had arrived in front of them. When passing by them, a knight under the front banner suddenly slowed down. He stared at Lucrezia's eyes without revealing a stunning look, and he took the horse to stop. Stepped down, and then looked straight at Lucrezia on the roadside.
Alexander cursed secretly in his heart. He felt that he knew why Pisa gradually declined after a period of glory in history. After all, such a frivolous person could actually become the patrol leader. However, these pizzas are really overwhelmed.
"If it's not daytime now, I have to wonder if Venus came out of her temple in advance," the knight said with a sincere compliment. He turned over and dismounted without seeing Alexander go directly to Lukre In front of Qi Ya, "Dear Madam, although you are a foreigner, please accept the warm welcome of a Pisa."
"How do you see that I am a foreigner?"
Lucrezia asked with a smile, her smirking look in Alexander's eyes caused him a burst of unhappiness, and at the same time, in order to warn her, Alexander's hand could not help but tighten slightly.
"Of course, if there is a beauty like you in Pisa, it should have been a flower after the Saint Jerome festival." The knight chuckled and his eyes swept over Alexander, first because he was slightly surprised by his handsomeness , But then the attention was completely focused on Lucrezia. "Where do you come from? The travel is very uneven now. There may be robbers outside the city at any time. Can you allow me to protect you from entering the city?" "
"If there are really robbers, we would have snatched us without waiting for you to appear." Alexander muttered in a low voice, how did he look at this guy who was attentive and attentive, especially when he saw that the knight actually looked at Lucky Ya reached out his hand, and finally he could not bear to pull it hard, and in a slight painful groan from Lucrezia, he dragged her completely into his arms.
There was a hint of displeasure on the knight's face, and he stared at Alexander gloomily, but then relaxed slightly.
"Madam, if you need anything, just tell me, I am Giovanni Zaloni, the patrol captain of Pisa, and I am willing to serve you." Cavaliers nodded slightly, and then he glanced at Alexander again. With the help of the companion next to him, he turned his horse, then raised his hand again to pay tribute, and then continued to walk forward with the team.
"Another Giovanni, is he not afraid of death?" Alexander casually said that in his memory, anything called Giovanni seemed to have no good ending, Giovanni Sforza was like this, if not It's a matter of time before Giovanni Borgia is changed.
"Are you jealous?" Lucrezia suddenly asked. "Why don't you stand up and challenge this person, or tell him to stay away from me?"
Alexander glared at Lucrezia. He was now sure that she intentionally wanted to get Zaloni's attention and then waited to escape, which aroused his vigilance.
Now that he had attracted attention, Alexander simply mounted again. He wrapped Lucrezia's waist with one hand, and touched the musket hidden under his cloak secretly with the other hand.
The city of Pisa is not big. A gate that is not too high cannot be compared with the gates of Rome or Naples from a distance, and this city that used to be a harbour still maintains some characteristics of being a port. , Especially those along a river channel under the city wall can be directly drawn into the fishing boat in the city, bursting with the smell of the sea and the rotten fish and shrimp thrown randomly on the roadside, making the neighborhood near the gate look very dirty dirty.
Lucrezia raised her hand to cover her nose, and just as she watched the anxiety of the brigade at the city gate waiting for the people entering the city, a rapid horseshoe sound came from behind.
Alexander turned back quickly, and then his brow furrowed tightly.
Because he saw that the lingering Giovanni Zaroni had already ran back with the team. From the sweaty look of his mount, this guy obviously ran all the way regardless of horsepower, and may even simply cope with it. The errand turned around in a hurry and could not wait to get back.
Sure enough, seeing Lucrezia who had not yet entered the city, the face of Giovanni Zaloni immediately showed joy, and he hurried through the crowd to Alexander before them, and then intentionally used a little surprise The tone said: "Why haven't you entered the city yet, haven't you told the guards that you are my friend?"
Lucrezia smiled on her face. Although she was still young, her years of growing up in the Roman court made her see through the purpose of the person in front of her. The inheritance from the Borgia family inherited from the bones She instantly thought of how to use the person in front of her.
"I would love to know you, but you know, this may not be very good." Lucrezia deliberately said that the latter sentence was very light. She deliberately or unconsciously made a wink, and also looked forward slightly After exploring, her neckline inevitably leaned forward. Although she was only wearing the clothes of ordinary country women, the large white still made Giovanni Zalloni's eyes straight.
"I don't understand what you mean, you
You do n’t have to endure this kind of weirdness with these people at all, "said Zaloni staring fiercely at Alexander who was sitting behind, and he said loudly deliberately," can a man ’s temperament be narrowed to this point, only because of a little dignity? Do you refuse to accept sincere help from others? "
Your sincerity is on your eyes that are about to fall out. Alexander scolded inwardly.
He was annoyed by this inexplicably attentive guy, but he was even more angry about Lucretia's beckoning.
It's just that he can't offend the self-proclaimed peacock knight now. As he was thinking about the follower as soon as possible, a very thick but unusually loud voice suddenly came from the team waiting to enter the city.
"Is this the behavior of the Pizza? The noble privileges are used to replace the rights everyone should have. Didn't the great pizza pioneers call it fairness?"
This sudden question surprised Zaroni, he looked at the crowd with surprise, and soon noticed a special person from them.
Alexander also noticed the man.
It was a very capable-looking man with short hair cut upright and stubborn. His lean face had sturdiness. His eyes were bright but free, and he seemed curious about everything around him. However, when he looks at a person intentionally, he will find that his eyes pay attention to not the appearance, but a perseverance that penetrates the outside and hits the inside.
"Who are you?" Zaroni asked unpleasantly, "Pisa welcomes friends, but does not welcome people with bad intentions."
Zaroni's words immediately caused a commotion around him, and people all left the man, seeming to be afraid of anything to do with him.
The man was not timid. He stepped forward and stared at Zaloni, who was riding down from the top and staring down at him.
"I have heard that some people in the Zaroni family are willing to stand with the Pizza because they are sympathetic to the people, but if you are like you, I think the best people in this family are not worse than the Medicis. How much better are those. "
The man finished without fear and waved slightly to the attendant behind him.
The entourage quickly took out a banner from the parcel. As the banner unfolded against the wind, one side was also embroidered with a cross, but the flags with different birds, beasts, olives and spears on the four corners of the banner were displayed in front of people.
"My name is Niccolo, Niccolo Machiavelli, a member of the National House of 300 in Florence, a diplomat appointed by the embassy!"
The man announced loudly.
Hearing this name, Zaloni was a little surprised, but it was just a moment, and the people around him looked at the stranger who was staring at the door of his self-reported house.
Only Lucrezia noticed the strangeness of Alexander.
He first tilted his head slightly to the side, seeming startled, then straightened his neck, and then looked up at the sky, muttering like a muttered voice, "It's a good day today."
Nicolo Machiavelli, at this time, was only a member of the lower ranking of the 300 House of People in Florence. Compared with his later recognition by a big man, he was promoted to the position of chief of the State Department of Florence and secretary of defense. He is just a little-known figure.
At least Zaloni hadn't heard the name, so after a moment's stun, the knight only took a little arrogant look, but his look at Machiavelli suddenly became harsher.
"I'm sorry MP, I don't know that you are a messenger, but your quiet appearance is not the style that a diplomat should be. This is very easy to cause misunderstanding."
Zaloni's words with obvious threats startled the follower holding the flag of Florence, but Machiavelli only looked coldly at the former nobleman in Pisa.
"I brought my leader to the national book of the members of the Pisa Committee. As for me, this is my second visit to Pisa. I hope to stay here for a while."
Zaloni snorted slightly, he slowly led the horse, and once again glanced at Lucrezia with admiration, he waved to the guard of the goalkeeper and ordered: "Blow the horn to announce the arrival of the Florence Envoy."
Machiavelli lifted his chest, his gaze glanced over Zaloni, and when his eyes fell on Alexander and Lucrezia, he paused a little.
"This friend, if you are going to stay in Pisa for a while, I am willing to make a friend with you," Machiavelli said suddenly with a smile, but then he slightly smiled bitterly. "But please forgive me for not drinking. , Because for us, alcohol and poison are things that destroy people ’s will and spirit. "
"I am honored to receive your invitation, but I am just an ordinary civilian." Alexander said quietly. "And we will not stay in Pisa for long, maybe we will leave in the afternoon."
Alexander's words made Zaloni next to him look disappointed. He looked closely at Lucrezia, as if to take this opportunity to imprint her appearance deeply in her heart.
Machiavelli also seemed a bit disappointed. He looked at Alexander seriously, and the pair of eyes that seemed to be used to see through the human heart showed interest.
"Although you are wearing a farmer's clothes, I still believe my eyes. You say you are a civilian. I admit that because all of us are civilians before God, Florence has overthrown the tyrants who oppress the people. Our country is also All decent and honest Florentines are built together, "Machiavelli said with a smile." But you said you are an ordinary person. I do n’t think so. Although you may not be honest about your name for some reason, I ’m still very happy. I can meet you as a friend in Pisa. "
Machiavelli said, bowing slightly, and then strode toward the city gate in great strides.
Zanello looked at Alexandria and Lucrezia suspiciously. Machiavelli's words caught his attention, but his eyes became even hotter when he looked at Lucrezia.
Obviously, the Zaniello family has actually begun to consider whether to confide his love to this beauty he has only seen in his life. If he said before, he may also feel that there is something to do with her due to Lukrezija ’s clothing. The gap in status, now Machiavelli's words make him seem to have found a good enough reason.
Just looking at Machiavelli's back, Alexander's face sank.
He never thought he would see such a famous person in such a scene, but he did not expect that this Machiavelli actually let him fall into a crisis with just a few words.
The Pisa seems to have a good relationship with the Vatican. When he thinks of this Alexander, he feels that the city in front of him is actually a crisis.
Only if you refuse to enter the city at this time, it is likely to cause the Pisa's suspicion, especially now that Milan and the Venetians have invaded Romagna, which makes all nearby city-states become cautious and suspicious.
If you look back at this time, it is likely that you will be surrounded by Pisa before waiting to leave.
"Are you afraid that I will betray you?" Lucrezia suddenly whispered in Alexander's ear, her lips crossed Alexander's earlobe, it looked like a sweet whisper between lovers, no one could think of what she said, but it was It's about life and death.
Alexander was stunned for a moment, only to think of the moment just now, he only thought that he might be suspected by the Pizza, but did not think that Lucrezia would betray him.
Do I really start to believe this woman in my arms? Alexander couldn't help asking himself secretly, and then he was a little surprised to find that Lucrezia would have betrayed him before.
Alexander felt that he would believe in Sophia, because they used to die together ~ EbookFREE.me ~ has a friendship that only they can understand.
He also felt that he would believe Ruosha, because his "sister" was more familiar with his inner thoughts than others.
But he wouldn't believe Barendi, because he knew that for Barendi, it was all she really cared about.
But Lucrezia ...
Alexander felt a little crazy, when did he start to believe that Lucrezia would not hurt him? Was it just after he was in a coma, or the moment when he was forced to kiss her in that alley?
He couldn't help thinking of the words Lukrezia said in his ear when he pretended to be comatose. She would conquer him and make him completely forget Barendi.
Alexander didn't know if he would forget Balendi because of her, but he can be sure that he was about to forget that she was actually his enemy.
"Let's enter the city!"
Suddenly, Alexander looked up. He looked forward to the gate of Pisa, which was not tall, and then looked at Zanello, who was staring at them with jealous eyes, and then gently embraced Lucrezia's waist Feet pinch horse belly.
When Pagasos walked into the shadow of the city gate, Alexander suddenly whispered in Lucrezia's ear: "I will see the Pope when I return to Rome, and I don't like Xia San's brother, That Alfonso of Biscelli. "
"what?"
Alexander's words left Lucrezia stunned and confused.
