Chapter 72: Preparing for a Rainy Day (2)
Nangong Yu was startled, Massimo followed Nangong Yu and cultivated for a while, although he didn't have real internal strength, but his body had made full progress, and just now this roar, the sound penetrated the wall, and almost the entire base heard it.
Nangong Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't be in a hurry now, don't act rashly." ”
Massimo gasped for a while, finally changed, and suddenly came to Nangong Yu's side, looked at Nangong Yu's eyes with hot eyes, and asked eagerly: "What are your plans next, Mr. Nangong Yu, tell me quickly, at this time, it is related to the safety of my father and my brother." ”
Nangong Yu said, "You sit down first." Massimo pressed him to the chair, and continued: "Lucius has been precipitated in Venice for many years, and it has become a climate, not to mention, his minions and the troubles behind him are hidden in the shadows, if Lucius is arrested rashly, I am afraid that the others will sink into the sea from now on, and they will never be found again, and there will inevitably be countless hidden dangers." Therefore, you still have to be careful, or you don't do it, and once you do, you must have someone to uproot Lucius's party, otherwise there will be endless troubles. ”
Massimo was so dark and dignified that he couldn't sit still anymore, got up and walked two steps, frowned, and said, "Mr. Nangong, what you said is right, you can't be reckless in dealing with Lucius, you need to be careful." Over the years, with the exception of the fleet controlled by my brother Alger, the rest of the soldiers on land were almost exclusively operated by Lucius. My father has always regarded him as his own, and has recently had a vague intention of elevating him to a knighthood. I finally understand why you asked us to keep this secret in the first place. These things, if they are not secretly investigated, I am afraid that they will not know Lucius's mind at all. ”
Thinking about these many things carefully, and connecting them one by one, Massimo couldn't help but feel even more that Nangong Yu's calculation and scheming were so deep that he was really a first-class person today! I couldn't help but say: "Mr. Nangong, Lucius's matter can be resolved slowly, but Alger will go to the Black Sea in three days, and our troops can't go together with great fanfare, ......what should I do?"
Massimo wanted to say that his father's health was getting worse and worse, but he didn't say it.
Nangong Yu understood what he meant, and said: "The most important thing now, as you said, is that Alger is going to lead a fleet to the Black Sea, although we can't send heavy troops to follow, but we take advantage of the night to send a fleet to the Black Sea in advance, to the Ottoman Empire, to clear some obstacles for Alger." ”
Massimo smiled with relief and said, "With you to make a move, then Alger shouldn't be in any danger." It's just that our fleet doesn't seem to be able to compete head-on with the Ottoman fleet. ”
Nangong Yu smiled lightly and said, "We set up a base and trained soldiers, not to fight head-on, but to operate in the shadows. That's why I've always emphasized that the soldiers you recruit must be elite. ”
Massimo frowned and said with a puzzled expression: "If you don't confront it head-on, how will you act when you reach the territorial waters of the Ottoman Empire?"
Nangong Yu said: "It's okay to let Jim go with Rosa this time." ”
Massimo said, "You let Rosa go with me, I know why, but why did you let Jim go with you? Is there any particular reason?"
Nangong Yu took a sip of rum and said, "Naturally, there are other reasons. "It seems that Massimo is going to squeeze all the plans in his mind out at once today.
Massimo raised an eyebrow: "What is the reason?"
Nangong Yu said: "Naturally, it is for spices. The reason why the French are so interested in Venice is because of our spice trade, which represents glittering gold coins, and we Venice have had a monopoly on maritime trade for a long time, and I am afraid they can no longer resist the temptation. This was true in France, and it was true in the Ottomans. They now controlled the goods transported from the East, and once the Venetian monopoly ended, the Ottoman Empire naturally followed suit. This time Jim was sent to look for opportunities in the Ottoman Empire, to destroy their goods, and even to use this opportunity to get some luxury goods back, there is no doubt that he has this ability. As a result, the economic structure within the Ottoman Empire will be turbulent, and it will not be able to attack for a while. ”
Massimo sighed and said, "The Ottoman Empire has been fighting for decades, and its ambitions have long been revealed, and if we don't have such a great deal of trouble in Venice, it doesn't matter if a war breaks out with them." After saying that, he sighed again.
Nangong Yu drank the rum slowly and did not speak.
Massimo sighed and said, "Then what should I do with my father's side?"
Nangong Yu said: "Speaking of this, after you go back, you must pay close attention to your father's every move, I suspect that this is not your father's own problem." ”
Massimo was taken aback and said, "What do you mean?"
Nangong Yu said: "A person's body will not have problems for no reason, and now, there is no major disease in Venice, and the Black Death has passed a hundred years." If your father is simply overworked, just take a little conditioning. But what I'm worried about is that someone is doing it secretly. ”
Massimo said, "You mean someone poisoned someone?"
Nangong Yu nodded and said, "It's not sure yet, you have to look at it to find out." ”
The cold light in Massimo's eyes resurfaced, his hands were clenched tightly, and he seemed to be able to see Sen Bai's bones, and he snorted coldly: "If I let me know who poisoned him, I will let him die a bad death." ”
Massimo then seemed to think of something, and said, "Two nights later, Alger is going to hold a drinking party, and when the time comes, you can go with me, and maybe you will find something?"
Nangong Yu frowned and said, "Drinking party?"
Massimo nodded and said, "Yes, because the next day we will lead the fleet to sea, so the night before, there will be a drinking party, which is traditional. On that day, almost all the nobles would be present, wishing Alger a smooth return from his voyage. I think you can go with me and see if you can find any clues among these nobles. ”
Saying this, Massimo patted Nangong Yu's shoulder expectantly.
Nangong Yu's eyes lit up, he didn't expect that there would be such a tradition, the nobles are here, Lucius must be there, and that Phoebe, this is interesting. It's okay to go left and right, it's okay to go and see with Massimo, and find something valuable from these people by the way. The reception will take place at the Ducal Palace, and you may even see the Southern Cross.
With the idea made, Nangong Yu said, "Okay, since there is such an opportunity, then I will go with you." ”
