Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Chapter 18: Easter night (middle)

Sophia was surprised when she was pushed to the ground.

She could not have imagined that Ding Mu would treat her so violently, hitting the pillar of the porch, and then rolled to Sophia in the corner, but her voice was overwhelmed by the screams of the crowd around her.

Ding Mu didn't know if the dagger he threw hit the target. During this time, although he also followed Sophia to learn to throw a flying knife, maybe it needs talent. In short, there is no brave Bohemian so far. Dare to be his target for practice.

But that was enough. His sudden move clearly disturbed the assassin. The sudden riot caused people to scream and panic. Just when the shouting sounded, the crossbow arrow that had originally aimed at the street was already caught off guard by the shooter. Panicked and don't know where to fly. When the rapid footsteps sounded on the wooden stairs above the head, the Spanish guard who heard the news and rushed over the crowd had already knocked Ding Mu down on the ground, and stepped on him with several feet. , More guards shoved away the people who were at a loss, and rushed towards the second floor.

Ding Mu's face was pressed tightly to the ground, and the dust was all over his face. A sharp long sword was placed on his neck, and the cold blade stimulated the skin to pimple, which may cut him at any time. throat.

"Ah ~" Sophia yelled that she wanted to pounce but was rudely pushed away by a guard. Obviously, in their view, this Bohemian woman was not a big deal.

The assassin was clearly ready to retreat. Although Ding Mu destroyed the operation, the Spanish guards were not slow, but after they rushed to the second floor, they had nothing but empty rooms and windows that opened to the back street hole. Did not get it.

A pair of exquisite cowhide boots fell in front of Ding Mu's eyes. He barely raised his head, but he could only see a few buttons connected to the boot mouth and the trouser legs.

"Don't be too rude," came a slightly exotic voice, and Ding Mu was suddenly grabbed by his shoulders and pulled up from the ground. "Adult wants to see him."

At this time, Ding Mucai could not see clearly the person's appearance.

This is a middle-aged man in his thirties. What impressed Ding Mu was that the two lips on his lips were obviously often modified, with a beard that must be curled up slightly, and a rather exotic style on his head, as if he had just left the bathroom. The huge shower cap like a Baotou hat.

The hat obviously uses a lot of cloth, so that because of the weight, the top of the hat can only hang softly behind the head, so that Ding Mu can't help but think of something bad.

This person's clothes are also very strange. The two front and left **** are not aligned, but are staggered from each other. Even the hem of the jacket is uneven. It seems that the button is wrong when you go out.

The guards shoved Ding Mu and followed the man through the crowd to the street. At this time, the Spanish Guard had completely sealed off the street, and the people around him whispered nervously and saw another whisper in the Ding Mu crowd.

"Look, Bohemians!"

"Do the pagans want to assassinate Lord Gomez?"

"They should all be hanged."

"No, they are not equipped with a tripod, they should set up a fire, just like the Queen is in Castile."

After listening to people's comments, Ding Mu was actually very nervous. He knew that issuing a warning was an adventure, but he had to take advantage of it.

After all, when he chose to come to Palermo, he had never thought of going to faint in this era.

In addition, the crossbow was also entangled with Ding Mu ’s thoughts. He could not forget that it all started because Kunto took him out of San Sebalon, and the same crossbow used by Kunto was the same type of crossbow used by Kunto Just like his pre-mortem advice, Ding Mu was determined to take the risk and call the police.

Walked through the wall of the guards, Ding Mu was brought to Tang Gomez.

Julian Don Gomez, Sicily's palace minister, is a small, fat man. Although it is already difficult for people of his age to maintain his body shape, in fact, according to some rumors, the palace phase The adults caused this result simply because they like to eat all kinds of sweets.

However, in general, Miyazaki is still a good person recognized as having a fair and noble sentiment. When the king and his wife were conquering each other with their relatives and pure enemies on the Iberian Peninsula, Miyazaki performed his loyalty. Duties.

Don Gomez has already come down from the horse. At this time, it is obviously unwise to ride on the horse, and if you look closely, you will find that because of the fat body, the armor that Gomez should wear during the parade is actually just a few pieces of armor. The leaf is sewn out of a big coat. Although this armor looks awe-inspiring from a distance, it actually has little effect, and even a thin spear can easily pierce those thin layers. Of nails.

"Let me see who disturbed my parade," Although Gomez was not surprised or overly angry, he looked at Ding Mu for a while before saying to the previous man, "What happened to Auburn Sis, is this a child? "

"A very dangerous child," the dagger named Auburn who threw the guard to Ding Mu and another dagger found from him handed Gomez the "Bohemians."

"I was saved by a Bohemian?" Gomez looked at Ding Mu unexpectedly, and then waved to the side.

A soldier sent a **** crossbow arrow.

"A bad luck guy got an arrow, but look at this, I really want to thank this Bohemian."

"Broken armor?" Obens showed a slightly exaggerated surprise and anxiety on his face. He took Gomez's hand and kissed hard. "My lord, this must be God and **** Christ are blessing you, this Easter Doomed to be your lucky day. "

"It should be said that there is a guardian angel protecting me," Gomez said, frowning. "But why hold him and let him go, I want to reward this young man," said he revealed a little ridicule. Smile "Although he is a Bohemian."

"I'm sorry, I'm not a Bohemian," Ding Mu thought it was time for him to say something. He took the risk that he might even lose his head, but it wasn't for a few more meals to eat and drink in order to get a reward. The finished "Although you have a noble identity, I still hope you apologize to me."

Gong Xiang ’s plump and rounded face showed a surprised look. He looked at Auburns next to him unexpectedly, and then looked at Ding Mu: "Your guts are indeed not small, no wonder they dare to destroy the plot to assassinate me, then tell me Who are you. But I warn you young people, if you lie you will lose your head. "

Try to recall some of the descriptions that I did n’t know that I have read from there, and then Ding Mu left his left hand, half a circle on the right hand, and then swinging his arms. "Alexander Juliant Gumbre, from Crete, willing to serve you grown ups."

Gomez looked at the young man bowing in front of him a little unexpectedly, and then he suddenly asked his followers, "I can tell me where this little guy learned this strange etiquette." ? "

Listening to Gomez's words, Ding Mucai suddenly remembered that it seems that his way of saluting has not yet appeared in this era, and it will only become popular after nearly 200 years.

In desperation, Ding Mu had a deliberate smile: "I am a Roman."

"Oh ~" Gomez immediately showed a clear expression on his face. The look with "this was so" reminded Ding Mu of the British when he heard that the other party was French.

"Okay boy, if I do, I would like to apologize," Gomez nodded to Dingmu. "Come on, you go with Obens, let him find a place for you to clean up, and then I will see you."

Ding Mu knew that it was almost time to retreat, and it was not his business what happened next.

Suddenly, a familiar "Ah!" Shouted from the crowd. Ding Mu turned his head and saw Sophia, who was blocked by the guards and waving his arm desperately towards him.

At this moment, the panic on the girl's face deeply penetrated Ding Mu's heart. He instinctively raised his hand to respond, but finally lowered his arm.

Glanced at Sophia again, Ding Mu shook her head slightly to her with a few invisible movements, then turned and walked forward with the guard.

Sorry Sophia, I can't take you away, at least not now!

Sofia's swinging arms were fixed in the air, her face showing a stunned expression. She didn't understand why Ding Mu didn't respond to herself, and why she turned away when she saw her.

The 12-year-old girl at this moment seems to have become the orphan who was lonely because her father was expelled, but this time, the person who left her was not a last resort but abandoning her ruthlessly!

The crowd around began to disperse quickly because of the lifting of the blockade. Only Sophia stood alone in the middle of the road. At this moment, she seemed to be abandoned by the whole world.

The Sicilian palace is not very large. Compared with the palaces of other city-states that are proud of the accumulation of luxury and condensed art, the Sicilian palace is more simple, ancient, and dignified.

Due to historical reasons, the royal palace, which is a combination of multiple styles, is surrounded by a thick high wall, with obvious Arab-style wall stacks and rows of black perforations later excavated, proving this royal palace It also has the important task of defending against foreign enemies.

In fact, the Sicilian palace has indeed experienced more than one war destruction, the most recent of which was the riots in the Sicilian evening prayer incident that took place on Easter night in 1282 two centuries ago.

It was after that incident that the Kingdom of Aragon took the opportunity to drive away the Normans who occupied Sicily and became the masters of Sicily.

Easter, not only has a completely different meaning for the Sicilian people, but also becomes a special day with a certain taboo in the minds of many people.

This kind of Easter with anxiety has been more than two hundred. Until the year of 1496, many people once again remembered the night full of turmoil, restlessness, **** and killing two centuries ago.

Julian Don Gomez, Sicilian palace minister, is one of these people.

When Ding Mu followed the entourage called Osborne into the palace, he saw a large number of soldiers who had gathered in the palace garden and the corridors on both sides. For the unpredictable incident, Don Gomez was obviously with him in the crowd The kind of leisurely performance in front of you is not the same.

From the vaguely murderous soldier's face, Ding Mu seemed to have smelled the **** breath of the Sicilian evening prayer event a long time ago.

Osborne arranged Ding Mu in a large room and left in a hurry. After seeing the two guards outside the door, Ding Mu could probably guess that he was actually being monitored.

However, Don Gomez was not a harsh person. Someone soon brought Ding Mu wine and a finely cut lamb, and eating this meal might be his last supper, Ding Mu carelessly Looking around, he soon discovered a "coincidence" that he didn't know was a coincidence.

The wall of the room was hung with a large oil painting. Ding Mu soon discovered that he had seen this collection of masterpieces in the later Norman Palace.

This is a painting full of realism. A woman who was obviously wearing a dress from a few centuries ago was half-open, and her expression prostrate on the ground. Her naked arm stretched forward seemed to be accusing her misfortune, just beside the woman. , A man was piercing his long sword into the chest of a Norman who was wrecked. Around these people, there were more Sicilians who were shown anger and humiliation on their faces. The body of a Norman deliberately dyed black fell to the ground.

This is the famous Sicilian evening prayer event, UU reading www.uukanshu.com because on Easter night in 1285, a drunk Norman Frenchman insulted an evening dinner on the streets of Palermo. The horrific massacre caused by the praying Sicilian women.

In that massacre, including the guy named Duane who had a big disaster because he couldn't control his belt, dozens of Frenchmen were chopped into pieces by the angry Sicilian people at that time, and then turmoil swept through Palermo Until the entire Sicily.

Finally, the riot turned against all Normans who ruled Sicily at that time.

That turmoil changed the rule of a dynasty over Sicily, so what will happen today?

Ding Mu took a sip of wine, warmed his body a bit, and made his brain turn faster.

Now he has entered the palace as expected, but this is too far from the so-called success.

That crossbow arrow always haunted Ding Mu's mind, and he remembered the short crossbow he hid in the Gypsy camp.

Before he came out, he asked Sophia to hide the short crossbow somewhere outside the caravan so as not to be discovered.

If Gomez sends people to the camp to search, as long as Sophia does not speak, she will not be found.

But will Sophia understand his thoughts? Ding Mu was worried.

He can't forget Sophia's disappointed look, but he really can't take her away at this time.

The door opened and Osborne walked in.

Speaking to Ding Mu, what surprised him is that Osborne, who is like a palace, is actually a tailor.

This is probably why his clothes look very unique.

As soon as he entered the door, Osborne said enthusiastically: "Children and friends of Master Miyazaki want to see you, especially the priest Alfonso."
