Vol 6 Chapter 139: Uliu came to visit

Mrs. Salmatelli was still so beautiful, but Uliu could see a trace of exhaustion on her face.
This is not difficult to imagine. During this time, Mrs. Salmatelli had to follow Ludovico to escape, and the originally comfortable and comfortable court suddenly disappeared. There were only various hardships and days that had never been imagined before. Feeling nervous, such a day is undoubtedly a torment for Mrs. Salmatelli, a woman who has already enjoyed the life of a lady.
Even now they are back in Milan, but Ludwig does not dare to take it lightly. He not only needs to flatter the emperor in order to get support from him, but he must also pay attention to the trend of the French, although I believe that the Austrians will not be here easily. Lost in a war, but Louis XII left him with too many terrible impressions, this fear was even stronger than when Charles VIII was originally, after all, Charlie although arrogantly announced that Milan was merged into French rule However, he still allowed Ludovic to continue to rule Milan, and Louis XII simply deposed him, which made Ludvik not only feel that this person is crazy, but also inexplicably fear the French king.
Mrs. Salmatelli was obviously influenced by Ludovico. Although she had returned to a familiar environment, she felt that everything was different from before. They were no longer the only masters in Milan. They had to be in the court. The emperor who confessed himself with grace was humble and complimented, even if the emperor was not in Milan, they had to be careful with those Austrians. This was all included in the eyes of the Milanese who had been gradually disappointed with the Sforza family. Mrs. Salmatelli even It can be clearly noticed that after returning to Milan again, there has been some subtle changes in the attitudes of nobles and civilians.
These changes have made Mrs. Salmatelli feel physically and mentally exhausted. She is a woman who just wants to enjoy a comfortable and prosperous life, and is not willing to waste her mind to think about the so-called big things that have nothing to do with her. Her idea is simple. From the Duke Get grace, and then carefreely enjoy a good day that other women may not dream of.
But now it seems that it is not so easy to be a mistress of the Duke, at least Mrs. Salmatelli has been exhausted physically and mentally because of all the worries.
But even so, in front of outsiders, Mrs. Salmatelli still tries to maintain a calm and calm attitude. She has gradually realized that she needs to take some responsibilities now. At least, in order not to add to Ludvik's confusion, she must look the same. So do not panic and calm, calm, only in this way can the Duke appear to know the current situation, but also full of confidence, otherwise a little bit of strangeness may cause all kinds of speculation.
It's just that although he has been reminding himself so often, when she sees Uliu in front of her, the calmness that Mrs. Salmatelli had tried to maintain disappeared almost instantly.
In amazement, she looked at the Moor in front with a trace of fear, and at the same time glanced around, trying to find someone who could help her.
"Madam, please don't be so nervous, I swear I won't do you any harm." Uliu's swarthy face was always filled with a smile of goodwill, and it seemed that she didn't care at all as long as Mrs. Salmatelli shouted The danger of calling a large group of guards "I know there may be some misunderstandings, or you think I killed Da Vinci and Passioli, but this is not true, please believe me they are all good."
"Don't they escape with you?" Mrs. Salmatelli suddenly interrupted Uliu's words and asked, "The Duke's found the boat you dropped and the blacksmith's axe, but they said No blood was found, and it was later discovered that the most missing students and assistants with Da Vinci were the students and assistants he usually valued, and even many of their luggage were missing. "
A rare embarrassment appeared on Uliu ’s face, which made him feel that he somewhat underestimated Ludovico ’s men. Considering that so many people were missing at the same time, some even lost their luggage, as long as their brains were normal. You will also guess that there is something wrong here.
But now it is obviously meaningless to say that, and Uliu will come to Milan at this time, also because of the order received from Alexander.
When Alexander set off from Naples, he had already sent some orders to Uliu in Rome, which made Uliu have to quickly arrange some things in Rome and hurried on the road, but even then, when he came In Milan, Alexander's army not only occupied Pavia, but also entered Monza.
Ulliu ’s mission to Milan this time was actually very simple, neither to spy on Milan ’s military situation nor to cause any damage. The only thing he had to do was to meet Mrs. Salmatelli.
"Madam, please be assured that I will never have any offense to you, so please relax, and those are all past, in fact, it is not important for you to be a Da Vinci," Uli, who was debunked Wu Hao had to go straight to the topic "I am here this time to provide you with an opportunity."
"what do you want to say?"
Mrs. Salmatelli stared at Uliu alertly. She did n’t shout out, of course, because she found that the Moor did not seem to be malicious, and that she did not see the shadow of a guard around, which made her worry if She screamed hurriedly, maybe she didn't wait for the guard to appear, either she had been killed by this person, or she had been taken hostage in the hands of the Moors.
So Mrs. Salmatelli decided to stabilize Uliu temporarily, and then she waited for the opportunity.
Looking at Mrs. Salmatelli who blinked her eyes, Uliu shook her head secretly. This woman might be a little clever, but obviously not enough. Her expression not only betrayed her thoughts, but also proved that Alexander had given him before. The speculation on Milan's situation in the order.
After the French and the Austrians came and went, Ludovico ’s life was definitely not so good. His timid timidity when facing the French made him lose his reputation, and in order to please Austria, he was in front of Maximian. It seemed so cowardly and humble that it was enough to shake his position.
Mrs. Salmatelli did not dare to shout loudly, although she was worried that the guards would be too late, but it was not necessarily because they were afraid that something might happen to make their situation more awkward.
It is even possible that even if she became a hostage, those nobles might not care about her safety at all, and Ludvik may not be able to protect her at this time.
After all, she is just a mistress.
These were all guessed by Uliu before, and it was because of this that he dared to appear so boldly in front of Mrs. Salmatelli.
"Madam, your current situation is not optimistic."
"Of course, I'm being threatened by a fugitive." Even with fear in her heart, Mrs. Salmatelli still wanted to keep her dignity as much as possible.
"I'm talking about your situation," Uliu deliberately increased his tone, and seeing Mrs. Salmatelli's expression slightly moved, he slightly lowered his respectfully and signaled her to walk with her to the round balcony on the side of the corridor. Madam, the Duke ’s life is not easy, which has caused you a lot of trouble. Please forgive me that Milan is not the same as before. Do n’t you think you should plan for your future? "
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Salmatelli looked at Uliu with caution, she knew that this person should have been ordered by whom, and those who had taken Da Vinci should have been ordered to act. Now, listening to his words, Mrs. Salmatelli could not help being careful, "Who brought you here?"
Seeing Mrs. Salmatelli's cautious look, Uliu felt no need to circle around.
Obviously, Mrs. Salmatelli had vaguely guessed his intention, but she was more concerned about who was behind him, which was enough to prove that she was tempted, but she was very careful because she did n’t know who to deal with. .
"My master is Count Montina."
Mrs. Salmatelli froze for a moment, as if she didn't expect to be this person. Then she opened her lips slightly and made a meaningless "Oh" tone, then she said : "The Earl of Montina that occupied Pavia?"
"Yes," Uliou nodded. Uliu was also surprised by the unexpected surprise that the count occupied Pavia and knocked on the door to Milan. But now it seems that it has become aggravated. Talk about the important bargaining chip of the woman in front of me "My host hopes to be his wife's friend."
After Uliu said this, he immediately regretted it.
Because he saw a moment of panic on Madame Salmatelli's face, a little angry, a little shy, and a strange expression that didn't know if it was an excitement.
Uliu knew he was wrong, and at the same time he remembered that the reputation of the old man who loves beautiful women was actually very loud in the circle of ladies in Milan. Among them, he and Lucrezia were the most talked about people. Those interesting things, and as Alexander returned from the Balkans, his anecdote with the Grand Duke of Wallachia became a hot topic.
Now his words clearly caused ambiguity, and Uliu felt he had to clarify it quickly. Otherwise, even if the errands were done this time, it might not be a good result to wait for him after going back.
"Madam, my host hopes to help you out of your current predicament. Of course, this is also to help His Highness the Duke," Uliou coughed a little and reminded Mrs. Salmatelli. "Although my host has occupied Pavia, please You can rest assured that he did not have any hostility towards His Royal Highness the Duke of Ludvik, and he did so solely to protect his own interests. "
It seemed that the embarrassing hints did not appear again in Uliu ’s words. Mrs. Salmatelli secretly relieved, and then she was annoyed, because just now she actually thought the Moor was coming. Pimped for his master.
"You should go to see the Duke," Madame Salmatelli said coldly, although she was not very clever or stupid, many nobles had hoped to benefit from Ludviko through her, and she did for those She was introduced to Ludwig, which allowed her to accumulate a fairly generous amount of private housing money.
But as Uliu said, the money was obviously not enough to get rid of her current predicament.
Mrs. Salmatelli didn't know how long this kind of easy life can be today. The previous escape scared her, which was completely different from the previous relaxed and comfortable outing.
The days entangled with fear and anxiety are always so sad. Whenever you hear any wind and grass, you must be prepared to escape. Even if it is later to meet with the emperor ’s rescue, she will always think of that period of panic. Woke up from sleep.
Even when she returned to Milan, when she woke up in the morning, she thought she was lying in a horse-drawn carriage in the wild, rather than a comfortable king-size bedroom bed.
Mrs. Salmatelli told herself that she never wanted to experience that terrible thing again, but she also knew that the money on her hands was not enough for her to maintain her future life.
"Do you have any suggestions?" Mrs. Salmatelli asked in an indifferent tone, and at the same time, Wuliu's words suddenly appeared in her heart.
"Madam, if you can do something for the count, my master will never forget the people who helped him."
Mrs. Salmatelli moved her heart. Although she knew that what Uliu said would not be that simple, she couldn't help but continue to ask: "What is it?"
Then she immediately said in a firm tone: "Don't think about making me betray the Duke, this is impossible."
Uliu shook his head immediately: "Ma'am, I haven't been stupid enough to do that. What good is it for you to betray the Duke, and what can I use to buy you, after all, you can get everything you want from the Duke."
Uliu's words made Mrs. Salmatelli look relieved before staring at Uliu and continuing to ask, "So what do you want me to do?"
"In fact, this is a good thing for you and the Duke, but I think maybe it should be in your room," Uliou bent over and invited Mrs. Salmatelli to walk forward with him, and he deliberately retreated the second half. "Please believe me, my master just hopes to establish a relationship of mutual trust with the Duke, and you can properly exert influence in front of the Duke, Madam. We all remember that the Duke even canceled the original in order to strengthen the military strength of Milan. A bronze horse statue customized to Master Leonardo is also annoyed by this master. "
"That's no way, the Duke must think about the big picture."
Mrs. Salmatelli's tone was not very good when she replied. Uliu's words brought her a bad experience forward. After the news of the French invasion, Ludvik became nervous, and he not only canceled Many contracts for buildings and works of art that have already been settled are trying to raise funds to expand the army.
But the army formed by spending a lot of money was vulnerable to the French.
As a result, they had to flee in haste.
Now Uliou once again pulled out the unbearable past, which made Mrs. Salmatelli's mood immediately worse.
Several guards in front approached them, and Mrs. Salmatelli's face changed instantly, her lips moved slightly, her fingers clenched into a fist, she looked at the guards who were getting closer, and listened to Uliu behind him. The unhurried footsteps of Mrs. Salmatelli's heart beat fiercely.
"Madam, my master thinks you deserve a more respectable status," Uliu said suddenly at this moment, seeing that Mrs. Salmatelli's stiff shoulder moved slightly, he continued to whisper. Perhaps a piece of territory and the corresponding title that is given to you can help you add more weight to the Duke. "
Mrs. Salmatelli's footsteps stopped, when the guards had come not far from them and nodded to Mrs. Salmatelli, and then they moved on.
One, two, three, until all the guards passed by with them, Mrs. Salmatelli remained silent.
Then she seemed to move forward a bit suddenly, but the expression on her face changed again and again.
Ludovico Sforza ’s recent days have been really not so good. After losing almost half of the army, he has no chips to continue to compete with Louis XII, although Maximian I publicly expressed support for him, but The emperor's arrogance like the emperor also made Ludvik uncomfortable.
In order to thank the Austrians for their support, Ludovico had to collect a large amount of jewelry gold and precious artworks to express gratitude. This caused the Milan crowd who had just been robbed by the French to be passionate. Today's Milan is just like Naples in the beginning. Ke's rule has actually been somewhat shaky.
However, the Austrian hoped that he would continue to sit on the throne of the Duke of Milan, so Maximian generously declined Ludvik ’s
gift
, and then sent the trophy seized from the French back to Vienna with impunity. .
Looking at the mountain-like marble sculptures mounted on the carriages, bronze figures, fine porcelain and a box of gold coins slowly loaded, Ludvik's heart was bleeding.
He vowed that since this was the price of his return to Milan, even if he died, he would no longer be removed from the throne of the Duke of Milan, and he was also grateful for the generosity finally shown by Maximian, so he used that pen The money that was originally intended to please the emperor once again armed an army that was not large in size, but at this time was of great significance.
In Ludvik's view, this army at least proved his determination to continue to fight for the Milan and the French. More importantly, it can prove to everyone that he is still the master of Milan, not a puppet of anyone.
It was just annoying to Ludviko that just before his army was formed ~ EbookFREE.me ~ before he even had time to review it in person, Pavia had bad news.
One of the actions of the Montina army after entering Lombardy was the unexpected occupation of Pavia. For the Milanese who are still used to thinking that the war will stop in the winter, the actions of the Montina are simply breaking the rules. heresy.
When it was heard that Pavia was occupied, many Milanese even compared Alexander ’s occupation between the march with Hannibal ’s original attack on Lombardy over the Alps, so much so that they called the Montina people
new Carthasians.
Based intruder. "
Ludovico was in a dilemma for a while. He knew very well that the current army would deal with the Montina Army who even dare to face up to the French. That would be to die in vain, but if he ignores Pavia, he will not only Losing popularity is more likely to make Milan directly threaten.
Ludvik finally chose silence, he refused to receive the messenger sent by Pavia to ask for help, even if the man knelt in front of the wall of the last supper painted by Leonardo in Milan Cathedral, Ludvik still did not respond. .
Fortunately, the Montina people did not continue to march into Milan. This made Ludovico secretly worried, but he never thought that he thought that perhaps the Earl of Montina had already occupied Pavia. When contented, a terrible news came suddenly.
The Montina suddenly sent troops to occupy Monza!
When he heard the bad news, Ludovico woke up like a dream. He knew from now on that the fate of Milan would be decided by Louis XII, Maximian I, and the Earl of Montina.
The only one who did not participate was precisely his Milanese Duke of Sforza.
