Vol 3 Chapter 178: Pizza

Zalloni looked gloomy with the Florentine named Machiavelli on the street. He was originally trying to get close to the woman who was so beautiful that he was intoxicated, but the Florentine next to him asked Zalloni As a guide for him, think about this person's personal confession that this was not his first time to come to Pisa. Zaloni felt that the Florentine named Machiavelli was obviously destroying his good intentions.
But Zaloni did not dare to neglect the messenger from Florence.
The result of being too close to Florence, this huge and rich city-state, is that Pisa has been shrouded in the shadow of Florence for a long time.
As the former overlord of the Lenian Sea, Pisa did have some glory for a while. At the most powerful time, it even defeated Genoa, which is the same as Venice, and seized control of the Lelianian Sea.
But even the pizza at that time, it still felt very difficult when facing Florence, not to mention that with the gradual loss of competition at sea, whether it is at sea or on land, the glory of pizza has turned into a yellow flower yesterday.
On the contrary, Florence has become stronger and stronger.
When the Medici family ruled Florence, the two cities were safe, but with the collapse of the Medici family, Pisa was also greatly affected, at least as the Duke of Pisa During the turmoil, the Zaroni family had to abandon the Duke's throne and fled outside, and to the disappointment of the Pisa, when they followed Florence into the embrace of the republican government, it was not the friendship of the Florentines. It's an annexation and covetment.
Florence apparently coveted pizza as an offshore port for a long time. With the monk named Savonarola becoming the leader of Florence, Florence did not hesitate to expose their ambitions in the face of pizza like a little brother .
Pisa is aware of Florence ’s ambitions to try to annex itself, but in the face of that huge and terrible neighbor, Pisa is careful not to give each other any excuses while guarding carefully, the only thing that can hope is Today Florence is a republic.
The Pisa hopes that the officials in Florence will continue to dispute over whether to wage war. Perhaps there will be some new turning point in this long quarrel. This kind of thinking makes the Pisa people feel lucky, and they also Longing for someone to rescue them.
It was just that Florence suddenly sent a messenger, and the news immediately made the Pizzeria nervous. In addition to Zaloni, a few senior officials of the Pisa City Hall hurried over, although this man named Machiavelli watched It's not a big man to go up, but they still treat this person as a VIP and carefully invited him to Pisa City Hall.
Shortly after entering the city, Alexander chose a still-looking tavern and stopped.
Although he wished to leave the city as soon as possible, Alexander had to stop temporarily, and he needed to prepare for the trip.
Because Alexander had discovered that the act of exchanging farmer clothes from the old man was a bit stupid.
Either himself or Lucrezia, obviously they are incompatible with their current dress, not to mention there is a mount that is completely comparable to the Pegasus in Greek mythology, which will attract people's attention wherever they go.
What ’s more, Lucrezia ’s beauty makes them more troublesome when they put on the peasants ’clothes. At least if they wear decent clothes, that Zaroni will not put him in the eyes. Qi Ya kept on giving.
"We have to change some clothes here, and then leave Pizza this evening after we are full." Alexander whispered, seeing Lucrezia silent, he reached out and gently grabbed her arm. "Listen to me, I will take you Send it back to Rome, and then you can go back to your life. This trip is no different from a dream for you. You will not be hurt. "
"Won't it?" Lucrezia looked at Alexander with a slightly strange look. "Is it true that you say you want to see my father?"
Alexander scratched his head, and he knew he had to pay for his impulse at the gate of the city.
But at that moment, he really thought about what it would be like to marry Lucrezia?
Alexander VI is undoubtedly one of the toughest and most suitable candidates for the elders of this era. It is conceivable that if he can climb relatives with the Borgia family, he can even have the capital to challenge the future Spanish throne early .
This idea is very tempting. Alexander has even considered that since such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is right in front of him, whether he should immediately take down Lukrezija in front of him.
But this thought just flashed through his mind, and then he gave up.
This is because Alexander VI was not only the most unreliable candidate for the elders of this era, but even the top of the list.
Just think of Giovanni Sforza, who is now dead, and Alfonso, who is destined to die in the future, Billy Shelley.
If Giovanni's death made Alexander feel unexpected and beyond his memory, then Alfonso of Billy Shelley was actually killed by the order of Alexander VI.
After experiencing two failed marriages, Lucrezia will have the third experience of being married again by her father and brother as a solid chess piece.
Just thinking about this, Alexander felt that even if he could let Lucrezia have a child immediately, and then return to Rome to do what the Bogian family did, they could immediately kill him without hesitation, and then Find a new wife for Lucrezia.
So this tempting idea is not only fleeting, Alexander is still secretly warning himself that he must not be fooled by the beauty of Lucrezia. After all, the enemies he will face in the future are really terrifying and trembling. opponent.
"Of course I will go to see His Majesty the Pope. After all, I hijacked his daughter," Alexander said lightly. "But I will let you go back to Rome safely, but don't mess with me until then."
Lucrezia's face showed a disappointed look. She looked at Alexander's face for a while, then turned her head to the side.
Because of the twisting of his neck, Lucrezia's white buoyancy on the white neck slightly propped up, floating faintly under the skin, which seemed to make him slightly fascinated in Alexander's eyes, but he quickly reminded himself not to be too obsessed with this woman And thinking about her romantic affair again, Alexander felt that Lucrezia was not really suitable for him.
A rush of footsteps came from outside the pub, and a few figures appeared at the door. As those people broke in, the otherwise quiet pub immediately became noisy.
"Look at who's coming." The pub owner obviously wore all kinds of clothes with these, but the weapons carried on them could still be recognized as a group of pizza mercenaries. He took it from the wall shelf. Two wine cans were placed in front of those people, and they were asked, "Tell me if there is any news recently, but I heard that the Florentines are about to attack Pizza."
"You know, it's too late to know," a mercenary wearing a hat full of exaggerated feathers scoffed and sneered. "The Florentines have sent messengers. It seems that no matter whether there will be war or not, be quick. You will know. "
"Is Florence going to attack Pisa at this time?" The pub owner looks a little excited. "Although fighting is not good, but if there is a war, maybe you can call more mercenaries."
"By then your pub will make a lot of money, won't you?" The mercenary wearing a hat despised looking at the pub owner, and then sighed slightly. "But it might not be too optimistic. Just know that I listen It is said that those officials are worried about the tax burden. Pizza may not be able to get enough money to hire more mercenaries. "
The boss was a little disappointed, and then asked: "So how do the old men think that they should resist the Florentines, I heard that their people are very crazy, especially that Savonarola, it is said that he even banned his The people drink, I do n’t want this person to rule Pizza. "
The boss ’s words clearly resonated with those mercenaries. For these mercenaries who work all day long with war, being unruly is an indispensable part of their lives. Unless they die in war, they leave every time. After the battle, they all celebrated and survived with spirits and women, but now it seems that this kind of good thing will soon leave them.
"Maybe we should find a new job as soon as possible." A mercenary took a drink and said quietly on the table. "I don't want to live like an ascetic monk, not to mention that the Florentines are preparing to re-arm their army. If we really want to fight, we will lose money, and the money I earn is not enough to kill me. "
"Maybe it won't fight." The hat mercenary shook his head. "Don't forget that Milan and the Venetian are preparing to fight the Holy See. If that Savonarola attacked Pisa at this time, it might give the Vatican an excuse to send troops , Know that the Pope has always been dissatisfied with that person. "
"Oh." The mercenaries sitting around and some guests who were listening swiftly showed the same expression.
"But what the Florentine came to do, I heard that he was a member of parliament." Another mercenary asked a little puzzled.
"This is not clear, but I heard some strange things before," the hat mercenary looked around deliberately, and waited until everyone's attention was drawn before continuing. "I heard some people who just came back last night. It seems that a Venetian army appeared nearby. They even saw this army passing by on the lower Arno River last night, but they looked a little hurried, as if looking for someone. "
"What are the Venetians doing here in Pisa?" The boss asked unexpectedly. "I heard that the governor of Venice, Barbarig, was a very powerful person."
"Who knows what these aristocrats are thinking about." Hat mercenaries shook their heads boringly. "I think the days are no better than in the past. At least when the Zaroni family was in power, the Florentines were not so greedy. But now they may come over at any time, and do n’t you think that the days in the whole city are getting worse and worse, at least everyone can still mix well when the Zaroni family is here.

"Oh, don't mention it." The mercenary's complaint caused the boss more trouble. He looked at the guests in his pub. When he saw that all but a pair of young men and women who were obviously foreigners were regular customers, he The speech also became bolder. "The old men in the city hall have all become lazy pigs. The promises I gave to everyone have long been remembered. I have begun to miss the time of Zaroni's family, at least. At that time, they would find ways to take care of our little businessmen in order to charge more taxes. "
The boss ’s words immediately caused a response from the guests in the tavern. People began to recall the time a few years ago, and the result of the discussion was that although the rule of the Zaroni family was rough and the taxes were heavy, at least at that time It can go on.
"Look now. The Florentines want to annex us, and the Venetians are here again, but the veterans of the town hall only know how to serve the Florentines carefully. Do they think that they can avoid being annexed by others." The boss Shaking his head non-stop, he picked up the wine jar on the table and poured himself a glass, then lifted it up and shouted to the guests in the shop, "Today I invite guests, who knows if the Florentines will enter the city tomorrow, At that time maybe all of us will be hungry. "
There was a burst of cheers in the tavern, and at this time one of the guests suddenly said, "I heard that the Zaroni family went to Rome?"
"Not quite sure," the mercenary shook his head and drank. "But it seems that the pope and the people of the Zaroni family are good. It was because the pope's protection of the Zaroni family was able to escape from Pisa, and I heard If it ’s not the French, the Holy See will send troops to help the Zaroni ’s family take back pizza ~ EbookFREE.me ~ If that's the case, it would be nice. "
No one among the guests suddenly said that.
Suddenly, the originally lively pub became silent!
The guests looked at each other, they carefully watched the faces of others, and they showed a slightly strange but unspoken smile.
It was only soon that they discovered two strangers in the corner of the tavern who were obviously not regular customers.
Everyone's eyes could not help looking at Alexander and Lucrezia. The mercenary who had said the most before stood straight from the side of the table, and several mercenaries slowly approached Alexander.
Lucrezia's face couldn't help but panic, she had never dealt with these vulgar mercenaries, and looking at these mixed-dressed, greasy guys, she couldn't help but reach out and gently took Alexander to move her hand Right hand under the desktop.
Alexander looked at Lucrezia speechlessly. At this time, if he broke free again, it would definitely attract others' attention. It was just that it would be difficult to quickly pull out the musket hidden under the cloak.
"Outlander, where did you come from?" The mercenary's voice asked first, then his eyes suddenly lighted up.
Alexander noticed the strangeness of the mercenary, and he followed the man's eyes.
An exquisite ring appeared on the beautiful finger of Lucretia covering his arm.
There was a very eye-catching badge on that ring.
