Venice Council!

The Regent, Derek Jacob, turned around in a whirlwind: "What do you say? They are in Ragusa? Is the news true?"

"Yes, Lord Regent, it's just that his subordinates have managed to find out the exact information from the Gallo family, and Anna Gallo and Massimo Gallo are there, and it seems that a secret base has been set up there to serve as their private army!" replied a middle-aged guard, bowing down.

"Hehehe, Gallo, Ragusa, hehe, yes, yes, what's their purpose?"

"I heard that they are not the chief leaders there, and the supreme governor there is a man named Luca Rossi, also known as Nangong Yu!"

"Luca Rossi, Nangong Yu? I don't seem to have heard of it, no, I remembered, is it a black-haired and yellow-skinned person!"

"Yes! ”

"Hmph, I heard that this person is quite capable of fighting, but he doesn't have any title, just an ordinary commoner, don't worry, he must have a little white face with a beautiful face, which confused Anna and Massimo, if we really care about it, but we will promote him. Derek laughed, a deep smile on his handsome face, "Please come to me at once, Mr. Raymond." ”

"Yes, Lord Regent!" the guard commanded.

Raymond, whose full name is Alex Raymond, is the first advisor under the regent Derek Jacob, resourceful, cautious, and scheming, and is Derek's right-hand man, but his most trusted confidant.

A short time later, Alex came in a hurry, dressed in cloth and with a fluttering chin and beard, but it was a middle-aged scribe in his forties. He bowed to Derek: "I don't know if the regent is in such a hurry to call me, what's the matter?"

"Hehe, Mr. doesn't have to be polite, I asked you to come over today because there is one thing, and I need to use Mr.'s wisdom to get an idea for me. Derek knew that his strategist was incredibly intelligent, and that he was indeed the best man in the world, and if he hadn't personally invited him that day, he might not have been able to get this person's assistance, so he didn't dare to be slacking off in his words.

Alex sat down unhurriedly, staring at Derek with a faint smile on his face, and his hands naturally placed on his sides, looking unfathomably comfortable.

Derek said with a smile: "There is news from the people below, at present, two children of the Gallo family are in Ragusa, with a person named Luca Rossi, to establish a secret base, it seems that they can build their own ships, and they are still buying weapons on a large scale recently, I think this is a good opportunity, I don't know if Mr. has any good plans!"

Alex laughed, "I see!" Xuan frowned again, and said, "I remember that you have always wanted to remove the Duke of Gallo from the title and seize his power, but it is also true that the Gallo family has been in control of the council for a long time. However, with the power of the regent, it seems that it is not lower than that of the Gallo family, not to mention, the duke himself is able to build a private army, I don't know if you ......"

Alex's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he looked at Derek with a smile, he naturally knew that Derek had always regarded Duke Gallo as a thorn in his side, especially the extraordinary forces under him, at this time, it was just a little bit of a little bit of him, since you want me to help you, then everyone is still honest. There are some things that even if you don't say it, others can see it, so it's not interesting.

Derek's old face flushed: "Yes, Mr. is a superhuman in wisdom and a pedantic man, how can my mind be hidden from Mr.'s eyes." ”

After a slight pause, he sighed again and said: "Today, I am afraid that there will be another war, and I, Venice, one of the richest countries in the Mediterranean, will inevitably be swept into the tide of disputes in the world. For the time being, each country in the Mediterranean has its own strengths, and no one may dare to say that they can be sure of victory!"

Alex bowed his head slowly and said, "So what you mean is that you must eradicate the Gallo family before the war starts, so that all the power is in your hands?"

Derek snorted, and his face showed dissatisfaction: "Gallo's power is unfathomable, if it can be used by me, it is really a great help, combined with the strength of my Jacob family and the Gallo family, as long as we really cooperate sincerely, it is not difficult to say that it is to level the Mediterranean! But the old thing of Gallo has always refused to cooperate with me, and he is powerful and has a transcendent position in Venice, I have visited me many times, and he has never seen me once! Although it is hateful and annoying! But when I think about it, it also makes sense. ”

Alex smiled: "His Royal Highness the Prince Regent thinks so, but he is wise, the Gallo family has a transcendent status in Venice, after so many years of development, his power may be much stronger than we imagined, and at present, France, Ottomans and other countries are plotting the wealth of Venice, the Gallo family is expected to return, and they are counting on him to be able to smooth everything, at this time, it is very difficult to eradicate the Gallo family!"

Derek smiled distressedly and said: "That's why I plan to start with his children, the coming of the war is not only a crisis, but also an opportunity, we can take advantage of the arrival of this war to slowly cut off his hands and feet, and after that, we are accumulating military merits through the war, and in the end, his power will weaken, and I, will become stronger and stronger, and at that time, Gallo is still a fart!"

Alex smiled, but didn't speak, a little disapproving: a behemoth like the Gallo family naturally has his means of survival, for this kind of big family, the children in the family are just a marriage tool used to strengthen their own power, who would put the whole family into it for a tool? The prince obviously thinks things too simply!!

Derek paced two steps around the room, raised his head and said, "Sir doesn't know, Gallo's three children, although only Alger really inherited his father's wishes and led the fleet of Venice, but in fact, Anna is proficient in navigation, Massimo is proficient in swordsmanship, and these two people are currently in Ragusa. But they didn't set themselves up as kings, but they all followed a guy named Luca Rossi, and I think they were probably trying to secretly raise an army that we didn't know about by supporting a civilian. ”

"Well, I know the news, and I've investigated the black-haired boy named Luca Rossi, but, Mr. Jacob, don't think he's a commoner and underestimate him, the people who can win the favor of Anna and Massimo, and who can follow willingly, are definitely not simple people, and no one has really been able to find their base until now. In addition to the people of the Gallo family, the only people who know the exact point are Lucius and his son, and now, Baron Lucius was killed in the street, and his son disappeared a few days ago, if there is no connection between these two things, I don't believe it!"
