Chapter Seventy-Six: The Cocktail Party (1)

Late at night, Nangong Yu sat quietly in his room, flipping through the various news that had recently come back, and several of them aroused his interest: the Kingdom of Naples, located at the southern end of the Adriatic Sea, had sent an envoy to Venice, and it was rumored that he had come to ask the duke for his marriage.

The Duke of the Kingdom of Milan sent an emissary to France to visit King Charles VIII of France. At this time, the Kingdom of Milan visited France, what was it going to do? If France intended to start a war, then the Kingdom of Milan would inevitably bear the brunt, and perhaps, they might have gone to sue for peace.

What interests Nangong Yu the most is the last one: Baron Lucius secretly sent ships to the Ottoman Empire, the exact number of which is unknown.

Nangong Yu pinched the narrow note and couldn't help but ponder. Although Lucius was a nobleman, he was only a nobleman of relatively low status, and on the eve of Alger's army to the Black Sea, why did he send people to the Ottoman Empire. What the hell is he going to do? Lucius was not easy. And the last sentence 'the specific number of people unknown' aroused Nangong Yu's interest, Lucius was in Venice, Nangong Yu naturally knew Rosa's ability to collect information, and in such a situation, there was still 'the specific number of people unknown'. How much power Lucius hid, and the forces behind him allowed him to escape his intelligence network.

Good Lucius, Nangong Yu's face sank like water, since he had the courage to secretly send a ship on the imminent expedition of Arcel, wasn't he afraid that Duke Gallo would find out? Or did he think that Duke Gallo would not find out at all. Nangong Yu did not believe that a nobleman who could be said to rule the Republic of Venice did not have an intelligence agency of his own. Since he sent people to the Ottoman Empire, Alger's Venetian fleet also returned, and Villanueva was also in the Black Sea, with his own side.

A smile appeared on Nangong Yu's face: The Ottoman Empire is becoming more and more lively now. The Ottoman Empire, the pirate fleet, the Venetian fleet, Lucius, and Nangong Yu, the five major forces are about to all gather in the Black Sea.

Nangong Yu smiled very deeply, if Lucius had a list to send someone to Ottoman, then Rosa would be able to slowly detect the forces behind him from their movements, even if it was just the tip of the iceberg, it would be extremely beneficial to Nangong Yu's next plan.

Willy secretly looked at Nangong Yu's face and put forward a point of his own: should you lead a team of people by yourself and kill them on the sea without realizing it, and let them become ghost ships.

Nangong Yu smiled at this proposal. Not to mention that since Lucius secretly sent ships to sail, there were so many ships coming and going in the Adriatic Sea, and it was impossible to determine which one it was. Even if he knew, Lucius would be alert once he found out that he had lost contact with the ship. In order not to startle the snake, he was left to Rosa to deal with.

At this time, Rosa should already be on her way to the Ottoman Empire, and if you calculate the time, it should be almost there.

The reception held by Alger was finally going to take place as scheduled, and the nobles of Venice rushed to Venice one after another with their own thoughts.

Early in the morning of this day, Nangong Yu was still practicing in the training ground, and was dragged to a room by Anna, and with a wave of his hand, five or six soldiers suddenly came, bringing three boxes of various dresses, and asked Nangong Yu to try them on one by one in a commanding tone. The reason given is that Nangong Yu's current clothes are too ordinary, and he must change his outfit to participate in the nobles' drinking party. But Anna didn't know Nangong Yu's body size, so she simply prepared three boxes of dresses before and asked him to try them one by one.

When Nangong Yu finally boarded the sailboat to Venice, he suddenly felt relieved and saw the light of day. Before boarding the ship, Anna repeatedly told Nangong Yu that the aristocracy's drinking party was not usually when they drank together, and there would be a fixed program, that is, dancing.

Nangong Yu was dumbfounded when he heard this, dancing?!No matter in his past or present life, Nangong Yu has never danced, for this reason, Anna specially taught Nangong Yu some simple dance steps.

Finally, after Anna finished speaking, Nangong Yu already felt dizzy. Nangong Yu is a good hand at practicing martial arts, but learning to dance, Nangong Yu is a complete idiot, and he doesn't understand the meaning of this strange step at all.

The sailboat floated on the blue sea, the sea breeze blowing slowly, and occasionally a few of them on the mast still lingered.

As the saying goes, people are like jade, horses are like dragons, and Nangong Yu is already handsome and chic. Black hair, black eyes, and Anna's carefully selected gown are even more outstanding. Anna went back and forth, looked around Nangong Yu several times, and finally nodded with satisfaction.

Behind him, the soldier who followed Nangong Yu to Venice couldn't help but smile, looking at the Mr. Nangong in front of him, who was usually extremely strict in training, Mr. Nangong Yu was unnatural at this time, although the dress was very handsome, but the boat was on Nangong Yu's body, like a shackle, firmly locking Nangong Yu, making him unable to move.

After a long voyage, Nangong Yu and his entourage arrived in Venice, and when Nangong Yu and Anna came to the Duke's Mansion together, there was an indescribable discomfort. Is this the building in front of you the mansion owned by the most powerful nobles in Venice?

It looks quite big, and Nangong Yu even thinks that this place is not as grand as the mansion of the third-grade official in the previous life!

Anna wanted to go to her room to change clothes so that she could attend the drinking party, so she asked Nangong Yu to follow the servant to the main hall to attend the drinking party first.

As soon as Nangong Yu walked into the main hall, two maids greeted him, they looked at Nangong Yu's outfit, saluted lightly, and took Nangong Yu into the middle of the reception.

After walking a few steps, Nangong Yu found that there were already many people gathered in this main hall, all of them were all kinds of nobles with well-dressed clothes and extraordinary temperaments, gathered together in twos and threes, talking in a low voice.

It's just that the two of them are not Alger, Massimo, Nangong Yu thought to himself, as the protagonists, they should be the last to arrive.

I saw that almost all the nobles at the scene were holding wine glasses, with colorful expressions on their faces, although the voices were not loud, but they were all elated, blowing the sky, not at all like practicing for Alger, but as if they were using this as a reason to expand their connections, or exchange resources or something.

With his strong hearing, Nangong Yu had already understood the words of the people around him. Now that the Republic of Venice is in crisis, these nobles, who control a lot of the country's resources, are not thinking about how to deal with the crisis, but are talking about some things like what is the price of such and such goods, where the wine tastes better, and even some nobles are still discussing where the women are beautiful.

Nangong Yu sighed softly, how could there be hope for such a group of nobles to manage this country. Shaking his head, he asked the maid behind him, "When will the drinking party start?"
