Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

A boat slowly entered Valencia's inner harbour during the high tide.

Today will be a full moon day, the tide is raging, and the waves are constantly beating against the long breakwater on the shore.

Because the water surface was not calm, the whole body was a little up and down when docked, and the springboard was swayed back and forth slightly on the boat, so that people who got off the boat could walk on it cautiously, lest they accidentally fall into the sea.

A carriage was parked on the dock, and a few burly guards stood around.

In addition to sabers, several of these guards also carried short muskets.

They stare at people coming and going with unkind eyes, and will be alert if anyone approaches them, and their faces don’t have to be shown deliberately to make people feel sturdy and unkind, so that people who accidentally approach them immediately Feeling uncomfortable all over, they drew far away.

A man hurriedly walked off the deck, accompanied by a few people in front and behind him. When he saw the carriage and the guards, these people immediately speeded up their pace and quickly reunited with those people.

The man only nodded to the leader of the guard, and hurriedly boarded the carriage without speaking. As the guards mounted one after another, the well-equipped guard protected the carriage and hurried out of the port.

There is no emblem on the carriage to let people know their origin, but when you see those strong and sturdy Catalans, people evade to make way for the carriage along the way.

The carriage quickly left the Valencia city and drove out of the city along the country road.

Tiego, who was sitting in the carriage, breathed a sigh of relief until far away from the city.

He hurried back to Valencia on Alexander's order, but he was somewhat worried along the way.

He was worried about the things he did in Seville, the Valencian might not have heard the news, in that case, maybe he just got off the boat, waiting for him is prison.

For this reason, he had sent someone to the front stop before he returned to Valencia, and even secretly asked Maria de Luna to find him.

So as soon as his ship docked, he found someone waiting there. These Catalan mercenaries were his “employees” of the Valencia Defense Company. These fierce soldiers never treated the law kings and nobles. In the eyes of them, whoever pays for them, they will listen to them.

Using Catalans to protect his safety made Tiego relieved a lot. In fact, if it were Alexander's order, he would not have been in Valencia at this time.

Whether it was Uliu, Tiego, or anyone else, at this time, they all became more cautious.

Many of them, who followed Alexander's birth and death in these years, have never regarded their own safety as important as they are now. These people who used to carry out tasks that often took huge risks at the beginning would be more cautious at this time even if there was a slight disturbance.

Years of hard work are about to see success, and no one wants to fall on the road on the eve of the realization of the ideal.

Tiego has sent someone to take his family from Ali Ali Island to Madrid. His wife has given birth to four children for him. He has only met the youngest one, but this does not prevent him from loving them. Tie Ge has made people find teachers for his children in Madrid, and he believes that it will not be long before his family will become the enviable Castilian upstart.

The carriage was bumping on the country road, which was leading to Maria de Luna's farm on the outskirts of Valencia, where Maria de Luna was waiting for him.

Maria de Luna, who was standing in the window, finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the carriage driving into the courtyard.

It is no secret in Valencia that Tiego was a follower of Alexander, and Alexander VI's public support of his grandson's father as an enemy of Ferdinand has long been known in Valencia.

So during this period of time, Maria de Luna’s life was somewhat difficult, but fortunately, Valencia was the home of the Borgias, and the deep-rooted forces made it difficult for the Borgias to be shaken.

It’s just that Maria de Luna was very witty and simple during this time, which made many people breathe a sigh of relief. At least in this way, many embarrassments that may occur can be avoided. As for Wallen The Archbishop of West Asia and many local nobles took the initiative to visit the Duchess of Gantino in the territory, but the officials sent by Ferdinand to Valencia just didn't see it.

In Valencia, it is a very unwise move to offend Bottierja. If you do that, you will find that you may encounter hostile assassins inexplicably while walking on the road, or you will be cheated when doing business. No return, as the officials will soon find themselves rejected by the upper class of Valencia, so it will become difficult to move in this place.

The huge power of the nobility is often unexpected, and this influence will directly cover all aspects. This is also the reason why Ferdinand has always wanted to weaken the power of the nobility, but now because of the setbacks in Castile, he has had to but Rely on those nobles.

Maria de Luna came out of the farm. She was dignified and wanted to get rid of the noble appearance of the Duchess of Gandino, but then she was dragged into her arms by Tiego, and then The kiss made her struggle first, and then responded more intensely.

"If it weren't for something more important, I'd like to know how much you miss me here," Tiago walked into the farm with Maria de Luna, and then he couldn't wait to say "Your Highness wants me Come and ask the nobles of Valencia how much they admire the Pope."

Maria de Luna's expression moved slightly, as the Duchess of Gandino, and her experience in Rome over the years, she quickly realized Alexander's intentions.

This made her nervous and excited.

Although the Borgia family has a huge influence in Valencia, her husband is dead and her son is still very young, which makes her very worried about the future of the Duke of Gandino. The reputation is as notorious as their family, but the family is a well-known tradition.

So when Maria de Luna was threatened from Tiego, she also thought about taking this opportunity to get to know Alexander. After all, Alexander’s position in the family has become more and more important, and perhaps the entire Borgia family The people still have to look at his look.

What Maria de Luna did not expect is that this little thought at the beginning has now become a huge rely on her.

Although her father-in-law was forced to go into exile, he still received financial support from Alexander, and her lover was one of Alexander’s close associates. In this way, Maria de Luna discovered that in the family she and her The position of the son is even stronger than before.

However, it is clear that Alexander is planning a fierce battle with Ferdinand. At this time, Valencia, as Aragon's important city in the Mediterranean, naturally appears to be very eye-catching.

So even if the Borgias want to make any calculations in Valencia, it will naturally be much more difficult.

Ferdinand couldn't have imagined that the Borgias might collude with Alexander, so Valencia seems to be peaceful on the outside, but in fact all forces are extremely nervous and making various preparations.

Even Tiego's return may not be hidden from the eyes and ears of other families, but at this time, many people wisely choose to wait and see the changes instead of rushing to bet.

"Does Gombre want to attack Aragon?" Although this possibility has been thought of, Maria de Luna still feels that this decision is a bit too ridiculous. "It may not be difficult for him to get Castile, because he is Enrique’s son, but if he wants to invade Aragon, that’s another matter. I think you should dissuade him."

"No, my dear Duchess, you guessed it wrong," Tiego raised the woman's chin and smiled at her. "Let me eat something. I'm hungry along the way, but let me tell before that You are wrong. It is not His Royal Highness who wants Aragon, but his sister, the Queen of Sicily, and she is strictly speaking Astamara of Aragon."

The surname Astamara has a special status in Iberia. The two kingdoms of this huge family of Iberia have brought honor and wealth, but also brought five endless disputes.

With their ancestors from the same Astamara, the royal families of two countries can confidently declare their claim to the other's throne, and then launch wars. They can also form the two kingdoms through continuous marriage. The bond that cannot be parted between.

As for Aragon, it was also because the surname was given to Sicily and Naples, so that the king of Aragon was also the monarch of Sicily.

However, because of this, it is perfectly possible to say that the monarch of Sicily also has the right to claim the throne of Aragon.

This intricate relationship has been maintained for centuries. Although there have been several changes during this period, there has been little change in general.

Until Sicily was unified in the hands of a queen, and then the queen actually went to Iberia.

Now after helping her half-brother get the Castilian throne, she began to challenge the Aragonese crown.

"Madam, you can become the first Aragonese nobleman to be loyal to the Queen of Aragon. I believe this is definitely a wise choice for you." Tiego was as patient as when he first met Maria de Luna "You probably know that Ferdinand’s situation is very bad now, but all you have heard are just fur. Now let me tell you his real situation..."

The merchant Tiego returned.

Not long after Tiego went ashore, many people knew about his whereabouts.

Valencia officials even conducted urgent consultations for this.

Some people suggested that the number one accomplice of Gombray should be arrested immediately, but others thought that he should be cautious. After all, the relationship between him and the Duchess of Gandino was very scrupulous.

And these officials have to admit that it is not so easy to arrest that businessman easily.

Nowadays, a large part of the foreign business of the Catalan mercenary is contracted by this man's Catalan defense company, which means that he has an army ready to use.

Although I haven't seen any sign of a Catalan in the city yet, it is conceivable that that person would not be able to throw himself into the net without being fully prepared.

Now he should be in the farmhouse outside the city by the Duchess of Gandino, but maybe he had already prepared an army to wait in ambush, waiting for his own people to find the door.

People are not intimidating themselves when they think this way. Too many people have described the battle of Seville, so some people have taken the Catalans of Tiago in Seville. The story of the Great Knight's Castle, which blocked the retreat of the rebels, came to life.

Of course, such a person can't foolishly throw himself into danger.

So what does he want to do?

Just thinking about this will make those officials feel at ease.

Some people even think that the person is deliberately tempting them to make wrong judgments, believing that as long as they send troops close to the farm, a large number of Catalans will immediately surround them, and then that person can take the opportunity to entice Gandy. Duchess Nou publicly sought refuge with the regent of Castile in the name of being threatened.

Yes, yes, it must be so!

The officials who made this judgment after a short period of time became nervous. They didn't know what to do, until someone suddenly remembered a person who was most suitable to come forward at this time.

Today, the Archbishop of Valencia, as the successor of Alexander VI, is the heir named by the pope Rodrigo Borgia before he will be appointed as cardinal in Rome.

As the most staunch supporter and ally of Alexander VI in the local church, the archbishops are privately called the watchdogs of the Borgias.

Therefore, it is most appropriate for the archbishop to come forward at this time.

This idea quickly got the unanimous approval of the officials. They knew that time was pressing and could not be delayed, otherwise it might be too late when the Thiago took action.

So instead of waiting for the messenger to deliver the letter, a group of people went to the Cathedral of Our Lady of Salvation.

At this time, the archbishop is also facing a very difficult choice. He has also heard about the report of Tiago’s return to Valencia, so whether he rushes to the farm outside the door immediately or waits for a while. Hesitating between the two choices.

The visit of the officials made the archbishop a little surprised, and then he thought of their intentions, but this gave him a reason to go to the businessman with confidence.

"Remember today," before walking out of the living room to meet the officials, the archbishop asked the waiters to dress him neatly while saying to the auxiliary bishop next to him, "believe me this is a sign."

"A sign?" The auxiliary bishop handed the heavy cross to the archbishop. "Then what does this sign tell you, sir?"

"Our depravity and decline," the archbishop took the cross stick in his hand and squeezed it lightly. He looked at the gold-plated cross on the top of the stick and shook his head in embarrassment. "Believe me, the glory of the church is over. People will ask me to give up my dignity for a businessman to please him, then one day in the future someone will no longer take the crown from the pope, and that will be the end of the church."

After finishing speaking, the archbishop raised his head and held a cross in his hand, and walked out with a solemn step that seemed to maintain his final dignity.

In mid-September, Tiego arrived in Valencia.

For his arrival, the Valencian showed a rather strange silence.

Then, as the Archbishop of Valencia paid a visit to the farm of the Duchess of Gandino on the second day of Tiego’s arrival, a change that the local civilians had not yet realized was quietly brewing in the city of Valencia.

On September 22, a rather strange army arrived on the outskirts of Valaritod.

The tall war horses, shiny breastplates, and cuirass grenadiers with sabers and special muskets as weapons have surprised everyone who saw them.

A Balkan man was sitting in the shade of a tree on the side of the road. When he saw the shadow of the Cuirass Grenadier from a distance, he immediately jumped on his horse and waved his arms while shouting loudly to meet them.

Schell was led across the line to the carriage behind. He rolled over and dismounted and bowed to the carriage. After getting permission, he went to the side of the carriage and took off his hat and sat in the carriage respectfully. The vague voice who looked at him through a thin gauze curtain whispered: "Madam, the master sent me to pick you up."

The person in the car was not born, but Schell could feel the pair staring into his eyes behind the gauze.

This made the Balkans somewhat uncomfortable. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, looked around, and saw that the guards next to him were obviously far away because of orders, so he stepped forward and approached the car. The window whispered: "Madam, the master has always been thinking about you. I heard that you might be here today. I sent me out of the city before dawn and asked me to take you to the palace immediately after receiving you."

The figure in the car moved, and then made a very low voice: "You come up."

Xie Er was taken aback. He didn't know why the queen would suddenly give him such an order. In his impression, the queen was very proud and would never let irrelevant people approach her.

However, because it was the queen's order, Schell hurriedly dusted the dirt on his body, then pulled the car door and got in.

Then, after seeing the person sitting in the carriage, he almost exclaimed because of the accident.

The Palace of Vallitod, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Alexander stood on the corridor of the garden and looked at the gate in the distance. He had issued an order that once Ruosha’s team entered the city, he would immediately leave the palace. meet.

In this way, according to the calculation of the road, they can meet right in front of Babia Ridold Cathedral.

And he has also ordered the church to ring the big bell on the cathedral bell tower at that moment, and then all the bell towers in the city will respond with bells.

He can't give Ruosa a real wedding, but he can prove to the world that he loves his sister in this way.

"Have you not come yet?"

Alexander, who was a little impatient, asked the people around him. In fact, he knew that Ruosha's team could not come so fast, but he was indeed a little anxious, who had always been patient.

"I've come," a familiar voice rang from his side, and before Alexander turned his head, a pair of arms had gently embraced him from behind, while a gentle voice said in his ear "I'm here, my brother." "
