Vol 4 Chapter 53: Pious, great, or business?

Uliu could feel the original hot surrounding temperature seem to have suddenly dropped. He felt cold on his body, and his dark face instantly floated with a gray layer.
He heard the voice. This man was the one called Cobalt by the men on the banks of the Tiber. When he thought of his brutal order to kill those people, Uliu's forehead felt cold.
Alexander didn't see Uliu's strange look. He was just as surprised as other people at this time, looking at Olgala who followed the attendant at the stairwell.
Others may think that the famous prostitute who appeared on the scene should appear in his house because of the fierce fight with this Ottoman.
Alexander thought more than others.
He knew that Olgala would never be close to someone just because he had money. As Grogening's eyeliner in Rome, this woman was tasked with something.
Sure enough, looking at Olgala's charming appearance, Ashirk did not show his obsession as other men, he just looked at this intoxicating woman with appreciation, and then he tilted his head slightly to Alexander, He whispered slightly closer to his ear: "I said that our mutual friend is not this lady, but another person, but his relationship with this lady is very unusual."
As Alexander showed such a look on his face, as he looked at him, Ashurk smiled slightly.
Olgala slowly walked in front of the two. Today she is wearing a water-green double-length skirt. A slightly exaggerated style of shawl is casually placed on her shoulder. The shawl is a precious silk texture. However, the corner of the shawl was fixed to the back of the skirt by a brace supported by fish bones. It seemed that the entire shawl was like a pair of huge wings that broke back, and she almost completely surrounded the complicated folds on the collar. The pair of "wings" looks bigger.
"Ma'am, you're always so different." Alexander smiled and held Olgala's hand and gave him a soft kiss.
"And you always make us all feel unbelievable again and again because of the accident." Olgala let Alexander take her hand, she slightly provokes the forehead with the black smoked ointment, and then to Ashur Ke said, "I think you must have learned the earl's eloquence, and his unique remarks."
Listening to Olgala's instructions, Ashurk nodded.
He did not expect that his first meeting with Alexander would begin in this vaguely arguing debate about the smell of gunpowder.
"Count, you should already know that I have visited your home before," Hashurk said seriously. "I think we can be good friends and partners, especially since we have another mutual friend, Grogening once Recommend me to know you again and again, he called you a truly wise person. "
Listening to the compliments of the Ottomans, Alexander did not show a complacent look. He first seemed to be considering the wording before slowly speaking: "I must admit that you are indeed a respectable and generous person, especially It ’s those suggestions you made that I have heard from my sister. Those suggestions can only be explained with generosity and kindness, but please forgive me for not accepting your kindness.

Hearing Alexander ’s refusal, Ashurk did not show an accident. He listened calmly and then asked in a very sincere tone:
Can I know why you want to reject my suggestion? Know that no one is there I can refuse such kindness, so I want to know what your reason is. "
Looking at Ashurk's calm appearance, Alexander couldn't help but admire his calmness.
As the Ottomans said, no one can reject the proposal under such favorable conditions, no matter what the purpose of this person and that Grogening is, at least from this proposal, any proposal that is rejected should be very angry. of.
It's just that Alexander is very clear that there is no cheap picking up in the world.
More importantly, how to cooperate with the Ottomans will create huge contradictions with his future goals.
Alexander remembers very clearly that the Iberian peninsula, which has been ruled by the Moors for hundreds of years, is cruel and hostile to pagans, and absolutely cannot tolerate a person who has a close relationship with Ottomans.
And his ultimate goal is to embark on a peninsula destined to have a huge impact on the entire world in the coming centuries.
Although this goal seems too far away now, Alexander believes he can get there.
In this case, from the beginning, you can't do things that make people grasp the handle.
Although the conditions of the Ottomans are generous, Alexander is convinced that things should not be that simple, especially the Grogning.
Alexander was instinctive about the lowlander who seemed determined to restore the glory and early glory of the Hanseatic League.
The historical Hanseatic League is now slowly declining, even without the challenge of the future new continent, as those navigators bravely opened new routes to the East, and the Ottomans completely cut off the land traffic to the East, not only Han The Saskatchewan League, even the entire Mediterranean circle, including as far as the Levant, is facing a declining fate.
Seen by Europeans as a Mediterranean sea full of gold and wealth, it is slowly and irreversibly slowly drying up.
And what Alexander needs to do is to get the maximum benefit from this sea of ​​wealth while it is still abundant, as a preparation for taking that critical step in the future!
When Ashurk asked, Alexander's mind quickly turned these thoughts.
Finally, facing the eyes of the Ottomans, Alexander said: "I must admit that your suggestion is hard to refuse, but I think I can only refuse your kindness, because I can't fight a war against the entire Europa. Human cooperation can only make me have to remind myself at any time that every gold coin I earn is related to our enemies, and every time I sell a product for you, I help the enemy to make a crossbow that is aimed at us. "As long as I think about it, I can't make myself feel comfortable earning money that makes me feel scared."
When Alexander said this, his expression was firm and full of anger. His face flushed and his voice increased slightly because of the excitement. This has attracted the attention of people around him, and when they heard these words, people were more It was stunned because of surprise.
In this day and age, no one has ever said this, and almost no one has ever had such an idea.
Even if they are pagans, as long as there is money to make, everything is easy to say.
As for different beliefs, no one seems to care about these except the Castile and Aragonese people who are a little too religious in the Iberian Peninsula.
After all, the Golden Army of the Crusader has long been a thing of the past. This is an era of wealth and pleasure.
As for the argument that "every piece of enemy goods purchased is to make money for the enemy to kill their own weapons", which sounds fresh and jaw-dropping, it leaves everyone with nothing to say for a while.
Ashurk always listened politely, even when he was also surprised by the strange remarks, but he never showed displeasure.
It ’s just that he watched the playful look flashing in Alexandria ’s eyes, and he finally nodded slightly and said,
Count, I must admit that your words surprised me, I did n’t expect you to be like this A devout person, although your piety means that you will be my enemy, I still want to show you respect. "
As Ahulk said, his hands spread out and bowed slightly.
"I apologize for the recklessness of the suggestions I made to you before," the Ottomans said politely, "but I can assure you that unless there is a real war, as long as it is a Chamber of Commerce vessel under your name, any Port berths under my jurisdiction will be treated fairly. This is my loyal and pious respect for you. "
Alexander bowed back, and at that moment his eyes caught Uliu standing not far behind.
From Ulliu's eyes, Alexander saw that he obviously had something to gain, since he didn't need to stay.
Under Ahulk's playful gaze and Olgalala's slightly puzzled gaze, Alexander said goodbye, and when he walked through those Roman nobles, Alexander saw sarcasm and sarcasm from their eyes. .
But also saw the accident, surprise, and daze.
In such an era, will anyone else spare everything for faith?
In a time when such a church openly sells atonements, the priesthood can be bought with money, and even the pope throne can use large gold bags to import bags, can piety and faith really hold on?
"This Earl Montina, what does he mean?" A lady looked at the people around in amazement. "What did he think of himself, saint or priest?"
Listening to her annoyed words, a noble said quietly: "I don't know what he thinks of himself, but I can be sure that tomorrow the whole city of Rome will know his words."
Uliu has been standing not far from Alexander as a Moorish servant. At this time, he was completely like an ordinary servant beside his master. When Alexander came out of the hall, he quickly followed him, carefully for The owner opens the door.
Only when he followed Alexander and just got into the carriage, Uliu immediately lowered his voice and hurriedly said, "Master, I saw ... no, I heard the voice of that person."
"You mean, those people by the Tiber?"
"Yes, that's the Cobalt. I heard that the entourage next to the Sultan Envoy was that Cobalt. I can assure you that I didn't misunderstand that person's voice."
Although he had guessed beforehand, Alexander couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't understand who was following Pelotto Cardron, and he couldn't figure out why the emissaries of Sudan would be involved.
Alexander whispered to himself: "It seems that things are in trouble."
Originally thought that Pelotto Cardron only had an affair with Giovanni's wife, wanted to come in Alexandria, he even thought of making this Pelotto Cardron the murderer of Giovanni's death, after all, history This man lost his life because of various rumors with Lucrezia, so now that he has become the murderer of Giovanni, it just makes the specious history even more strange.
But now Alexander is not sure whether this idea is appropriate.
Obviously, a conspiracy is brewing around this Pelotto Cardron, and this conspiracy is likely to involve a group of behemoths.
Alexander thought about it, he believed that Uliu should not have heard it wrong, then there is no doubt that the incorporation of the Sudanese messenger has made things more complicated.
Should we tell this to Alexander VI?
This thought flashed only slightly in his heart, and was pressed by Alexander.
From the moment of accepting the appointment, Alexander knew that the Pope would never hope that the ultimate murderer would be any of his sons. This is not only difficult to accept, but it may also put the entire Borgia family into crisis.
So what is needed is a murderer who can be accepted by everyone and will not "humiliate" Giovanni.
Pelotto Cardron should be a good scapegoat, but he doubts whether Alexander VI can allow this to involve the messenger of the Ottoman Sultan.
Although he received an unusually strong declaration after receiving the Sultanate, Alexander clearly knew that from the pope to the civilians, everyone was looking to the east with uneasy and fearful eyes.
The shadow from the crescent moon empire is covering Europe with the gradual fall of the Balkans.
Between Italy and the Balkans, there is only one Adriatic Sea that is not so wide.
Despite the fierce rhetoric, what would happen to Alexander VI if Giovanni ’s death was involved in that Ashurk?
Perhaps, in order to cover up all this, the pope would give him a glass of wine mixed with Canterella, a special ingredient of the Borgia family.
Alexandria's mouth shook, and he knew that this kind of thing would not only happen, it was almost certain that once he told this to Alexander VI, what was waiting for him was such an ending.
Killing son-in-law is traditional, not to mention the daughter's lover.
Thinking of this, Alexander stretched out to Uliu opposite: "Listen, don't tell anyone about this."
"Master, please."
Uliu nodded immediately, and the Moors cleverly didn't ask why, but then he looked at Alexander with a slight doubt in his eyes.
"Master, you know I don't understand it," the Moors murmured first, and then leaned over and whispered, "But why did you say those words just now, I mean those words that offended the messenger, I miss him It should be a Sudan that trusts Vizier, but this is not important, but why do you say that? "
"Don't you think it's because of my piety?" Alexander glanced at the sullen Uliu across from him, then closed his eyes and leaned against the carriage to take a nap.
Uliu stared at Alexander in amazement, although he knew it was wrong to question his master, but the Moors believed from the bottom of his heart that this was by no means Alexander's truth.
It's just that although the Moors didn't dare to ask, it doesn't mean that others don't have the courage.
When Alexander was still asleep the next day, as the door was suddenly pushed open, Ruosha rang in his room with an angry voice.
This is the first time Ruosha is angry with Alexander.
"Why ?! Why did you refuse such a good opportunity?" Ruosha questioned Alexander, who got up from the bed, her body leaned forward, and her upper body was almost pressed to Alexander's chest. "Don't you know that once and that As Hulk reached an agreement, our chamber of commerce can be unimpeded throughout the Mediterranean Sea. Does Genoa or even the Venetians envy our good luck, but you not only gave up such a good opportunity, but also said that , You know, now all of Rome already knows what you said last night, and even if you regret it is too late now. "
Ruosha questioned angrily, her face flushed with red because she was too angry was full of anger, her neck also floated a faint red due to excitement, and the veins under her fair-skinned, almost transparent skin pulsed slightly. As long as you push harder, it will break your skin and jump out.
To make matters worse, because the body leans forward, two bulging hills can be clearly seen from the sagging skirt, and the middle is squeezed like a valley.
There was a grunt in Alexander's throat, and he felt he could not do it again, otherwise this brother would probably not be able to continue to be.
In front of him, she was like an angry and beautiful lioness, which made Alexander feel the urge to be an orc.
"I can say those words because I do n’t want to have anything to do with that Ottoman ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Alexander smiled and stretched out his hand, his finger slipped gently over Rusha's jaw, and then he turned back Lie down and lean on the bedside, "I want everyone to know that I am a devout Christian This is entirely correct, and the key is to make everyone, even the Ashhurk think that the invasion of the Ottoman Empire is inevitable and imminent. "
Ruosha stared at Alexander in amazement. She really couldn't figure out what the "brother" was thinking.
But she soon thought of something.
"So, is it all about your current plan?"
"Of course, everything is related to the plan," Alexander made a strong effort from the bed. "Listen, I have established myself as a devout person, so that everyone believes that I believe that the Ottomans will invade the entire Europa, and I Will be a determined fighter. "
Speaking of which, Alexander's eyes flicked slightly from Zuosha's still leaning forward, and then a smile appeared on his face.
"However, all this is business."
