Massimo felt that he was too unlucky.

According to Ji Sha's order, he originally followed far behind, trying to find an opportunity to return to the outside of the secret passage.

Although it was not safe to stand on the mountain wall, he feared that if the secret passage was indeed occupied by the Bohemians, it might not be too late to escape.

But just as he was about to slip away while the people in front of him were not looking, Audonie suddenly asked people to find him.

Mahimo looked back as she walked, but she couldn't stop it so as not to arouse Odonne's suspicions.

Odonne called Massimo not with suspicion, but with some fear that something would happen if they encountered Alexander.

Odonne could not forget the smoking musket in Paulery's hand, and he could not forget the tragic appearance of his companion when the musket was destroyed, so he decided to take the monk with him, or let him go in front of him, so that he would at least be safer.

Unable to refute, Massimo had no choice but to grope in the secret passage in fear, and when there was a sound in the black hole in front of him, he had just climbed a stone.

The monk with half of his head bared barely waited for the other party to react before he shouted, and his cry suddenly surprised everyone on both sides of the secret path!

But it was also his cry that made Alexander immediately hear his exaggerated tone.

"Massimo! Is that you? ”

Alexander's inquiry was met with a brief moment of silence, and then a cry of surprise, excitement, and surprise sounded from the other end of the secret passage: "My lord, Lord Alexander!" Is it really you?! ”

"Of course it's me Massimo, why are you here?" Alexander shouted again, but he remained in hiding and did not move, and at the same time he turned back to the nearby Bellery.

But Bellery could not bear it any longer, and he squeezed past Alexander, and cried out into the darkness, "Where is Miss Shosa?" Is she okay? ”

"Miss is with us, she's fine."

Massimo shouted but suddenly fell silent, which made Bellery's heart tighten, and he rushed forward despite Alexander's obstruction, and when he saw a few swaying figures in the faint light, he immediately asked, "Are you there, Miss, answer me?" ”

"Bolery."

A voice that made Bellery's body tremble, and the light lit up, and he saw Odoune standing in front of him in a slightly wider corner, and beside him stood Josha.

"Miss."

Bellery shouted, and was about to go further but was stopped by Odonne with his hand raised.

"Don't come again," Odonne put a dagger to his neck, "I'm not your enemy, but we'd better get things straight." ”

"What are you going to do?" Bolery asked angrily.

"Shut up," said Odogne impatiently, and then looked at Josha, "Mademoiselle, will your promise be fulfilled now?" ”

"Do you want me to write down a certificate of transfer of territory right now?" Jossa looked at Odonne.

"It would be better if it could be like that," Odonne looked at Josha closely, the closest he had ever been to her, and as his hand pressed against Josa's smooth shoulders exposed outside his shoulder coat, feeling her silky silky skin, Odonne's breathing suddenly became hot, "but if it could be like that!" ”

After speaking, he suddenly turned over Jisha's body, lowered his head and kissed her on the lips hard!

Bellery immediately let out an angry shout, and the whole secret passage was buzzed by his shout, and when he saw O'Donne's body trembling and suddenly raised his head and tried to avoid Shosha's lips, he asked loudly: "How are you, Miss, are you okay?" ”

"You are such an unruly woman," Othone wiped his bitten and bloody lips and slowly let go of Josha, "Mademoiselle, I am sure you will keep your word, for you are from the Cosenza family." ”

"Then you should know what the consequences will be if you offend the Cosenza family," Jossa glared at Audogne, "I will keep my promise, but I will also remember today's events." ”

"By the time you're going to get revenge on me, I might be able to propose to you."

Odonne's eyes were fiery as he looked at Jossa as she walked forward.

He then remembered Sforza, the family's rise to prominence almost miraculous, and the representative of all ambitious mercenaries who were looking for goals.

Thinking that maybe one day he would be able to not only have a piece of territory, but even propose to a noble lady like Josha, as he just said, Odonne's eyes were even more hot.

At this time, Jisha had already made peace with Bellery, and when she reached out and hugged Bellery, who was nearly a head taller than her, Bellery could only pat her on the back carefully like a child.

"That bite must have hurt."

Alexander chuckled under his breath, and he had a new impression of this 'sister', and the illusion that he thought she was very well-behaved when they first met was now somewhat wrong.

"Then you should thank me for not being bitten when you kissed me." Jossa glared at Alexander fiercely, she couldn't forget the previous time when she was forced to kiss Alexander in order to confuse Odonie's men, and the thought that he had taken the opportunity to touch the tip of her tongue made her more and more suspicious whether this man was really her half-brother.

"Where's Markus?"

Suddenly there was a strange voice in the darkness, and it was only then that Zhisa noticed that Alexander and the others were followed by gypsies.

She immediately became vigilant, and did not forget to pull Bellery tightly as she took two steps back.

"Don't worry, they're their own now."

Alexander was a little weak when he said this, and thinking that the gypsies would turn from friends to enemies in the next moment, he felt that dealing with Sophia and other people was really a headache.

"Where's Markus?"

The gypsy asked again, and by this time his face had darkened.

"The gypsy, he's still in the castle." Massimo suddenly spoke, "Unfortunately, you know that he is our captive, but Miss didn't do anything to him because she wanted to negotiate with you, and you will see him soon, and he is fine and intact." ”

Speaking of this, Massimo muttered in a voice that only he could hear: "At least it looks intact." ”

"Then you are soft-hearted," snorted the gypsy, as if dissatisfied, "if it were to fall into our hands, we would first unscrew out all his teeth with iron tongs, and then plunge a red-hot knife into the center of his foot little by little, and watch his soles burn before letting him go." ”

Massimo shuddered for a moment, and he stole a glance at Tsusa, and suddenly began to think that perhaps Mademoiselle Countess and the gypsy should be able to go together.

"What the hell is going on, how did you end up with these Bhihmians, and I already know who instructed them, Frederick's man, and the man I saw was the one who insisted on searching my convoy at the pass." She said anxiously that she had too many questions to ask, but now she was most concerned about Kosenza, so she simply asked, "What do we do now?" ”

As for how Bohemia came to be on her side, she suddenly didn't want to inquire, and she wasn't worried that Alexander would deceive her on this matter, after all, things had gotten so bad that she really had nothing to deceive about.

"It turned out to be that person." The masked man flashed in Alexander's mind, although he had guessed that the man should be known to him, or at least to himself, and now that he had listened to Josha's words, he could roughly guess Frederick's purpose.

Whether or not the possible famine in Naples was deliberately caused, it seems that at least a lot of people are taking advantage of it.

Considering that when he first arrived in Naples and thought that the Neapolitan nobles were too stupid to turn a blind eye to the impending disaster, Alexander felt that it was himself who was really stupid.

Whether it was Mordillo or Frederick, they were not only clear about the possibility of famine, but they were probably happy to see it, and it was probably only at this time that they could take advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters.

It was clear that Modillo was prepared to wait until the famine actually began, and use the grain on the plains of the Agri River as a powerful weapon to turn the tide of the situation, but for now, it seems that Frederick has the upper hand.

Once the grain storage land of Cosenza, which was originally a good card in his hand, fell into the hands of Frederick, it would be a disaster for Mordillo, and the sudden appearance of Bohemians not only completely disrupted his good calculations, but might even force him to lose even the last of his capital.

As a Neapolitan nobleman, it is impossible for Modillo to make a real and complete break with Frederick, especially at a time like this, when Frederick could become king of Naples at any time, and Modillo cannot risk being expelled or even accused of rebellion in public conflict with Frederick.

And Frederick took advantage of Modillo's scruples to dare to attack Cosenza.

"Frederick wants to get the grain land on the plains of Agri," said Zhisa anxiously, "and they have seized Kaiser, and they will force him to sign the right to protect those lands, and if then the Kosencha family will really face destruction." ”

Alexander nodded secretly, he knew that what Jisha said was right, the Cosencha family had not been completely annihilated in the turmoil of the peninsula for many years, and it was entirely because it had waited for the approval of other city-state forces as the guard family of the largest grain-producing area in the south for many years.

Once this advantage is lost, the Cosencha family alone does not have much strength, but occupies the position of the choke point to the richest land in the upper reaches of the Agri River, and cannot survive in such troubled times for long.

"What if I can help you regain the grain land," Alexander asked suddenly, his eyes flashing with an unconcealable throbbing, and the sharp eyes of a hunter who saw his prey made Jisha feel a sense of déjà vu, "If I help you recapture the grain reserves, then will you help me?" ”

Josha already knew what Alexander was going to propose, but she still asked, "How do you want me to help you?" ”

"Let me be your brother," Alexander whispered into Josha's ear, "in return for a friendship between me and my mother and the Count of Mordiglo." ”

In the dim light, Josha looked for marks on Alexander's face, but she saw nothing, and then she whispered:

"If you can help me, I'll help you."

Alexander nodded, and instructed the gypsies behind him: "Let's get out of here as soon as possible, it would be even worse if that Markush or simply Kaisel told the Duke the secret passage." ”

"Kaisel is my brother, he won't do that." Jossa still couldn't help but defend Kesel.

"Don't forget that I am your brother too," Alexander said back to Tsusha, "and you trust me more now because I do need your help." ”

Although it sounded harsh, Zhisa could not help but admit that Alexander was right.

O'Donneken helped her at this time, and that was because she promised O'Donie a reward that O'Donne couldn't refuse.

It may be a difficult time for her, but it could be a rare opportunity for Alexander.

"Listen to him," said Khosa as soon as she figured it out, and said to Odonne, "if you can help my family regain the grain reserves of the plains of the Agri River, I will pay you a large honorarium." ”

Odongne's eyes narrowed slightly, as the former captain of the Knight of Cosenza, he certainly knew better than anyone else what the plain of the Agri meant to the Cosencha family.

Therefore, he also understood better the meaning of the large amount of honorarium that Jisha said.

Odonne's breathing grew rapid and heavy, and he knew that a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity lay ahead.

"All my men are at your command."

Even though they had met with swords, Odonne did not hesitate to announce that he would obey Alexander's orders.

However, Odonie was not very relieved about whether Alexander would be able to retake the plain of the Agri as he said.

"Get out of here first."

Alexander looked deeper into the secret passage in the direction of the castle, he didn't know why the masked man was so obsessed with catching Jisha, and it was said that capturing Keisel was his greatest gain.

Is it more important to capture an escaped countess than to capture the heir of a domain?

Although the countess was indeed stunningly beautiful, he still felt that the man's behavior was too strange.

Maybe it was Alfred's order?

This thought was erased by Alexander only for a moment, and it was clear from the conflict at the volcanic pass that Alfred was just a prodigal with no appearance, and although he had a powerful father, the playboy had nothing to worry about when it came to the struggle for a territory.

So who told that man to catch him?

Alexander felt that the answer was already in front of him, but he didn't want to think about it anymore when he thought of some of the uncomfortable things.

The entrance to the secret passage at the top of the mountain had been cleared when Alexander and they went in again, but when they came out, looking at the Bohemians under the mountain, Jisha was still a little difficult to accept for a while.

Alexander's return caused a commotion among the Bohèmes, especially at the sight of Odogne, who immediately became vigilant.

They surrounded the hillside, and on a terrace farther away, a small group of Bohemian cavalry quickly ran to the flank, apparently prepared to make a detour and cut off their retreat.

In the distance, Alexander saw a familiar figure among the Bohèmes, and before he could speak, Massimo cried out: "That Moor, he has betrayed!" ”

At this time, the Moors also clearly saw Alexander and they were clearly visible, and he immediately ran over with a loud shout, and at the same time did not forget to turn back and shout to stop the Bohemians behind him.

Nashan's figure emerged from among the bohemians, his gaze quickly sweeping over everyone, and then he gestured to Pressure Mountain.

"Stay here and wait for my news." Alexander whispered a few steps forward, then stopped, turned to Zhisa, and said, "Come with me." ”

Despite some surprise, Jisha followed Alexander towards Nashan.

Her gaze first rested on Nashan, and then at the fierce Bohemian cavalry, watching them run back and forth with agility on their horses, and her face couldn't help but feel an indescribable blush.

"What are you doing, who is she?" Nashan looked at Alexander with a gloomy face.

"This is Countess Kosenza," Alexander said at once, seeing that Nashan's face was even more ugly, "she is actually my sister, and we have the same mother." ”

Nashan looked at Alexander with some surprise, and then he nodded, as if he finally understood why Alexander had to rescue Kosenza.

"You've caused me a lot of trouble, boy," Nashan gruffly grabbed Alexander by the collar, "you asked your servants to stop the Kosenza guards, who have now turned back to the castle, but do you know how much trouble you've caused by doing so?" ”

"I know, maybe the duke's people are already a little anxious at this time."

Alexander nodded in satisfaction.

According to Josa, there were not many Frederick who occupied the castle, and they relied on nothing more than the capture of Kaiser.

But once the guards of Cosenza returned to the castle, it would undoubtedly be a big problem for the duke's people.

This is also the reason why he dared to say that he wanted to retake the plains of the Agri River for the Shosa.

"Lend me your Bohemian cavalry." Alexander said suddenly.

Nashan had a strange look on his face, and he looked at Alexander in disbelief, as if he thought he was a little crazy.

"Do you want me to lend you my cavalry?" Nashan thought maybe he had misheard.

"Yes, your royal guard cavalry," Alexander said earnestly, "I will use them to help the Cosencha family to recover the grain reserves of the Agri River Plain." ”

"You want me to send cavalry to help you fight Duke Frederick's men?"

"If it goes well, there is no need to fight," said Alexander, ignoring Nathan's madman-like eyes, "I know that you were actually sent by the Queen of Bohemia to aid Naples, but don't you think that Frederick is using you for his own purposes?" ”

"But your suggestion is so absurd, have you forgotten the sister of Frederick, the queen?"

"I haven't forgotten this." Alexander looked at Nashan, "But I haven't forgotten that the queen is also the aunt of King Ferdinand, and I am the emissary of King Ferdinand of Sicily, and I don't think you will forget the relationship between Sicily and Naples." ”

"What are you going to do?" Nashan lowered his voice.

"Lend me those Bohemian cavalry, and I'll show you a real miracle!"
