Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Cardinal Monteiro was a man of low stature and a serious expression.

Although it always looks majestic on his face, in Rome, there are some interesting rumors about the cardinal.

It is said that because of the height problem, this noble cardinal has been mocked secretly, and even twice his opponent has openly joked that he is shorter than the average person.

This made the cardinal very annoyed, so he later found someone to order a few pairs of high-soled shoes, so that he could look less short.

But I do n’t know what happened. The cardinal ’s wearing of pair of height-increasing shoes was leaked out, so once again took the opportunity of praying to bathe, a guy who was very mischievous secretly changed one of his shoes. The cardinal had to be embarrassed for a whole day.

Not many people know the true or false of this joke, but most people are aware that the early days of Cardinal Monteiro were unsatisfactory.

In the early years, this later cardinal was almost expelled from the church, although he gradually took advantage of the thighs of a pope, but the nephew of the pope did not like him.

What's worse is that the pope's nephew surnamed Pogia, and later there was a very loud honorific name-Alexander VI.

As a result, Cardinal Monteiro's situation was somewhat embarrassing.

Although he was appreciated by his uncle, he was not liked by his nephew, and because he did something for the pope during the reign of Alexander VI ’s uncle, Gary III, he was not accepted by others. So in the eyes of many people, Cardinal Monteiro is a bit unintended.

In spite of this, the cardinal is still quite powerful after all, and because he helped Alexander VI succeed in a seemingly perfect marriage for one of his daughters, Zhang Luo, he was gradually recognized by the pope.

In short, Pope Monteiro is a very capable person. When everyone is surprised that Alexander VI blatantly loved and exalted his illegitimate children, Monteiro can put down his body and have close ties with the pope's illegitimate children.

There are even rumors that in front of the Pope ’s favorite son, Caesar Borgia, the bishop has praised the young man ’s bravery, intelligence, and appearance more than once.

And he was the first to publicly support Caesar as a cardinal.

It was because of these unremitting efforts that Alexander VI finally abandoned his previous suspicions, and also made him a cardinal.

Cardinal Monteiro can also be said to be exhausted to the Borgia family. Among all the people who hold Alexander VI's thighs, this cardinal can be said to be the most spared one.

When he first saw Cardinal Monteiro, Alexander's first impression was "This is really a short man".

The cardinal was indeed short, and even when standing with Joanna, she had to raise her head higher to appear less disadvantageous. This made Alexander feel secretly wondering how short this cardinal's mistress would be.

In fact, there are rumors that Cardinal Monteiro seems to be more interested in beautiful teenagers.

The cardinal was Joanna, who met in his dormitory. Of course, the so-called dormitory is not a place to sleep, but a private place more similar to the living room, but this is enough to prove that the cardinal and the Queen of Naples have a very close relationship.

Except for Joanna, none of her trusted maids were allowed to enter the dormitory, and the queen came out from the inside after almost two hours of conversation after the door was closed.

At this time, Alexander had been staying in the church, because according to the agreement, he had to finally send the queen to the place where she stayed in order to truly complete the task.

According to the plan, Joanna wants to live not far from the Franciscan church where Cardinal Monteiro is located. This arrangement is also for her safety.

When the cardinal accompanied the queen out of the dormitory, Alexander noticed that the look on Joanna's face seemed a lot lighter. Obviously, in the secret talk for more than an hour, the two had reached a certain agreement.

Joanna's mood was a little better because she let go of some thoughts, and she nodded slightly when she saw Alexander.

Only after seeing Nashan, the queen turned her head slightly, with a little disgust in her eyes.

The Gypsies did not care about Joanna's attitude. He and Alexander followed the queen out of the church, but when he turned his horse, Nashan suddenly glanced at the noisy market not far away.

Alexander didn't notice the slight appearance of the gypsy. He was listening to Joanna whispering to her manager, asking him to prepare as soon as possible for some people to visit

It seems that because of scrupulous people around her, she didn't say too much.

But even so, Alexander can guess what the so-called preparation is.

Obviously, the Queen of Naples came to Rome this time, not only as she said, but to pray for peace for the soul of her dead husband. At least from her visit to Cardinal Monteiro, it can be seen that Joanna is this time. Promising.

But now that the bribe has become a public city of Rome, even a measure of wealth and power, if you want something, you have to be willing to give up money.

Joanna seems to be ready to spend a lot of money, but Alexander can't help but wonder, why the former queen is willing to spend so much money.

After all, in his impression, the queen was somewhat miserly.

The place where Joanna lived was called the Marino Palace. This palace was built by a famous Roman nobleman. But later, for no reason, the nobleman was convicted and killed, and the palace became the property of the church.

Now, this palace is under the name of Cardinal Monteiro's church industry, and Joanna can live in this palace, which also shows that the relationship with the cardinal is not close.

The Marino Palace has a large and conspicuous square vault, which is not very popular when the circular vault is gradually becoming fashionable. This is why the palace is large in size and well decorated, But the reason it seems somewhat remote and calm because of not being valued.

When Alexander dismounted before the steps of the Marino Palace, he happened to see Nashan patting the horse's neck and doing nothing, circling behind him, but he didn't pay any attention because he saw the queen's director The heavy bag came over.

"This is the remuneration paid to you by Her Majesty the Queen," the director looked at Alexandria slightly with arrogance. The complacency on the way was gone, and the arrogance as the royal manager returned to his face again. Alexander has also become a hired mercenary. As for the identity of Lord Agri as a small country place, how many people will care in Rome? "Your Majesty allowed me to thank you on her behalf, and hope that one day will come again. Accept your service. "

The Aggris stared angrily at the manager of Joanna, and some people had already dismounted to prepare to teach this arrogant and unreasonable guy.

Alexander waved his hand slightly to stop the angry men next to him. When the door of the Roman city opened to him, everything that was not necessary was no longer in his heart.

"Sure enough, there was a good reward," Nashan squeezed over at this moment. He almost grabbed the purse from the manager's hand. After shaking his hand and weighing it, he said to Alexander. " Maybe you really should consider whether to be a mercenary. Believe me, if you really want to do this, I will be able to help you train those farmers into the most qualified soldiers, but before that we should find a decent Have a good drink in our pub and celebrate the success of our first business. "

Alexander looked at Nashan a little bit surprised, he knew that the gypsy looked random, but the blood flowing in his veins was definitely proud blood, which can be seen from Sophia's body, but now Na Mountain took the initiative to calm down the anger of the Aggris, which made Alexander not only strange, but immediately raised a cloud of doubt.

Sure enough, just after leaving Marino Palace and turning into a street, Nashan immediately grabbed the mount and turned to look at Alexander with a smile.

"I'm relieved now," Nashan looked at Alexandria. "I thought you would hook up with the widow queen. If I wouldn't look at Sophia's heart, I would cut your head first, but look now You should n’t have a messy relationship here, so Sophia does n’t have to be sad, we can all do something at ease. ”

"What are you going to do? Wouldn't it be to remember the property that Joanna had brought," Alexander said incomprehensible to Nashan, but looked at the sly smile on his face if he understood "Unfortunately, this is the city of Rome, even if You can defeat a group of enemies by yourself, and if Hu Lai will be killed, "

"No, we don't have to do it ourselves. Someone will do it for us," Nashan leaned forward to Alexander. "We just have to wait and wait for those people to help us get what we want, and then we can Get started. "

Alexander froze a little, and then reacted, he lowered his voice and asked, "What did you find?"

"Someone is staring at us," Nashan whispered. "I noticed something was wrong at the door of the church. Someone followed us along the way. No. It should have followed the widow. They followed him all the way to the big house, and then we left. Later they stayed there. "

"That is to say, someone is monitoring Joanna?" Alexander asked with interest, and then couldn't help glancing at the street behind him, when he suddenly realized that Carlo was missing. "Where is Carlo?"

"That kid is good, he also found something strange, so I let him go back and stare." Nashan stretched his arms around Alexander's shoulders and pulled him towards himself. "Alexander, my boy, don't you think Is this a good opportunity? The widow must have spent so much money that she must be wasted. Look at this city. This is a place dedicated to bankruptcy. Sooner or later, she will spend all that money. We ca n’t be cheap, let ’s say we just took the money from a group of people who robbed her, not from her, although you seem to be a vassal of Naples, but this wo n’t embarrass you. ”

"Nashan, I didn't realize that you were a good lobbyist until now," Alexander looked at the Gypsy slightly with surprise, and then he smiled slightly. "Okay, tell me what you are going to do."

The sky slowly became dim, and it was dark early in the winter. Before the golden sunset shining through all the streets, the dark sky had quickly covered half of Rome.

The hills farther away are already brightly lit. As the most prosperous city in Europe, Rome is almost a great city that can never be called a night city. In this city, sometimes it happens at night than in the daytime. More exciting.

It's just that today's Rome is still under French occupation, and the coalition outside the city seems to be able to attack at any time. In order to prevent someone from colluding with the coalition, the French have issued a curfew order.

But despite all this, some people still ignore the curfew.

Several young men dressed in alcoholic clothes walked on the street with half-empty wine bottles. When they passed the Marino Palace, they looked at the lights projected from the palace window and couldn't help but show their envious look.

Although the Marino Palace is not as noble as the magnificent palaces located in the Seven Hills or close to the Tiber River, it is still magnificent for ordinary people, and the people who can live in this palace are ordinary people. Eyes are equally unattainable.

"I really don't know what it's like to live here," a young man muttered and saw the guard standing on the steps of the palace gate throwing warning at him. The young man immediately glared back fiercely with angry eyes. "Don't look at me like that, I'm not a thief."

"Then you should be far away ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ This is the palace of His Majesty Her Majesty Queen of Naples," the guard announced loudly, "Leave here, otherwise I will drive you away."

"Naples, isn't your king beaten by the French to get away?"

The young man's sarcasm caused the companion's laughter, which completely angered the guards on the steps.

The two guards came down from the steps. They pressed the hilt in their right hands and made a gesture of pulling the sword at any time. When they walked in front of the young men, they could not help frowning because of the heavy alcohol in them.

"Go away, you drunks, otherwise I ..."

A guard shouted loudly, and he stretched out a hand to push the young man's chest.

But when his hand was pressed on the opponent's chest, the young man who had stumbled under his feet suddenly stood firm.

The guard raised his head in surprise, and saw a pair of no alcohol, at the same time, through the murderous eyes, and a short sword stabbed into his chest! To find this site, please search for "" or enter the URL:
