Alexander's cavalry was fast, and although they were somewhat delayed due to the bad road conditions, they were still much faster than when they had left.

After completely abandoning the Agri musketeers, the Bohemians even completed the journey from Sonillo to Rome in less time than usual.

It was only when they first entered the city of Rome that they ran into some trouble, because they feared that the coalition army would take advantage of the riot to invade Rome, the French used all their strength to strengthen the defense in some places, although they soon found that the coalition army had no intention of doing so, but Alexander's team was intercepted on the way.

Because of this, Alexander, who was able to enter Rome after dark, encountered trouble more than once along the way, and although most of the riots occurred only in the south of the city, this caused him even more to worry, because the Marino Palace was located in the south of the city.

It's just that along the way, when he is about to reach the vicinity of Quina Hill, he hears some inexplicable news.

Obviously, Sofia's actions caused no less shock in the city of Rome than the thugs, because she was so fast and rampant that she rushed around the city, and all kinds of rumors about this team made many people wonder what was going on for a while.

But Alexander soon sensed a certain familiarity in the actions of the Bohemian army, which was rumored to be causing trouble, and as the news became more and more outrageous, he began to feel that he did not know who to worry about.

A forest appeared in front of him, Alexander quickly ordered the cavalry to spread out on both sides, there were many villas built by nobles on the hill, and they did not want to live with other people, so even if it was inconvenient, it was still forbidden to cut down the woods on the hill, which seemed very stylish in normal times, but at night, it inevitably made this the most remote place in the city of Rome.

It's just that no one usually dares to make trouble in Quenachu, because the punishment if caught is much harsher, and what is grabbed is not necessarily more affordable than grabbing a few shops in the ghetto, but tonight is obviously an exception.

In the direction the groom had said, the cavalry quickly outflanked the edge of the woods, while Alexander himself walked slowly along a path with a few soldiers.

He didn't care much about whether the thugs would offend Barentia de la Rovere, in fact saving Barente de la Rovere didn't do much good to him, and the woman was somewhat difficult.

There was a faint noise in the woods ahead, and it was supposed that the mob had sensed that the bohemians were not passing by by chance, but were coming against them.

"Kill all the thugs after saving them," Alexander whispered, not wanting to embarrass Barondi, and dealing with them would reassure everyone.

The cavalry began to quicken their pace, and the Bohemians, who had been surrounding from the edge of the woods on both sides, began to urge their horses to speed up.

Alexander knew that this was a Bohemian tactic, they often deliberately let the enemy find themselves, and then rely on the speed and agility of their light cavalry to accelerate from the enemy, if the enemy is infantry, they will even boldly penetrate the gap in the enemy's ranks, and then quickly disengage the enemy and run to the other side of the enemy line.

By borrowing this kind of rapid back and forth, their enemies will soon be exhausted, and some of the slightly worse armies may be pulled into a mess by them before they can actually fight.

Now the Bohemians also made full use of this method, they kept running at the edge of the woods, and when they had determined the direction of the enemy's escape, they did not rush into the woods in pursuit, but quickly followed them in the direction where the enemy could escape, which made the mobs who kept scurrying around in the woods like rats had to change their escape routes frequently.

In the woods, a few thugs who had already run away were circling in a panic, if it wasn't for the darkness in the woods in the middle of the night, they would have been caught, but even so, they were still frightened when they saw the Dao figure outside that kept shaking and flew by like a ghost.

"We're being targeted," the cowardly thug pleaded in a low voice as he looked at the woman who refused to throw away the leader, "they're here for her, throw her down, then we might be able to escape." ”

"Shut up stupid," the leader scolded, "Don't you know that they still don't dare to rush in because they are afraid of this woman, only with her we are safe, you think that by letting her go, those guys can spare us, and now we can only use her to save our lives." As he spoke, he patted the buttocks of the woman on his shoulder, "I didn't think that this woman was quite important, maybe she was the mistress of some big man in the Luo Weire family, and now we will live on her." ”

The frightened thugs were somewhat relieved, and they followed behind and kept scurrying around in the woods, and soon the leader let out a slightly excited whisper: "It's almost there, there's a shallow ditch ahead, those damned cavalrymen shouldn't know, we just need to walk in it for a while to get rid of them." ”

The leader's words lifted the spirits of several people at once, and they bent over the darkness and ran forward in the woods, and when they saw a dark shadow on the ground, they immediately plunged into it without hesitation.

Soon the sound of the hoofs of the Bohemians slowing down as if they had lost their target could be heard at the edge of the woods.

"Hurry up, they'll find it when they're in the woods," the leader shouted in a low voice, and ran along the other side of the ditch with the still-unconscious woman on his shoulder.

Surprised Alexander by his sudden loss of purpose, he immediately ordered the Bohemians to enter the woods, while he himself led his escort into the woods.

While searching, a strange thought flashed through Alexander's mind: Could this be a trap?

But the thought was thrown aside by him at the slightest moment, for apparently no one knew that he would be so quick to return to Rome, let alone that he would take this path.

Rescue Barendi and let Dela Rovere's family inherit their favor?

Alexander found such an idea to be obviously naïve.

But it's always nice to be able to save that woman by the way.

There was a peculiar whistle of the Bohemians in the woods ahead, and it was clear that they had discovered something.

When he saw the shallow groove, Alexander frowned.

He didn't expect these thugs to be so cunning, which only provoked a trace of anger in him.

"Find them, then kill them." Alexander gave the order and looked out of the woods: "We can't afford to delay all the time here, we must hurry back to Marino Palace." ”

The unexpected escape of the prey apparently also angered the Bohèmes, and several horsemen rushed to the front and pursued the shallow ditch to the other side of the Quina Hill.

However, when Alexander, who was following behind, also came along the shallow ditch to the south of the Quinaqiu, he was somewhat surprised to see the cavalry circling back and forth about something.

"What's going on?" Alexander urged his horse forward, and when he saw several corpses lying crookedly on the ground, he quickly guessed that these were the people he was going to track, "Where is Barendi della Roviere?" ”

"We didn't see the woman," said a cavalryman who was standing on the ground searching for the bodies, "there are no women in there," but, "at this point, the cavalryman scratched his head, "these people seem to have been killed by our men." ”

"What did you say?"

"These guys were hacked to death with sabers," the cavalryman kicked the corpse in front of him, and the men were very fast, and there were their horseshoe prints on the ground. ”

The corners of Alexander's mouth twitched slightly, he had almost guessed who did it at this time, but he really didn't expect Sophia's range of activity to be so large, and she actually broke into the vicinity of Quina Hill from the south of the city.

"Catch up."

Alexander could only give this order, he was already feeling a little exhausted by this time, and he was extremely tired from running wild for two days in a row, but when he thought that Sophia was running through the city with a group of Bohemian cavalry who could cause trouble at any moment, he could only cheer up and continue the pursuit.

"Send a message to Marino Palace, I want them to find Sophia at once," Alexander ordered with some annoyance, "and I want to know what the hell the two bastards Nashan and Ulliu are doing?" ”

Ulliu, who was scolded by Alexander as a bastard, was wandering around the streets in despair.

Because he was left behind by Alfonso for interrogation, and when he finally got rid of the bishop of Palermo, Uliud realized that Sofia had long since disappeared.

Thinking of the possible outburst of anger at Nashan hearing the news, the lost Moors did not dare to return to Marino Palace, so they ventured around the streets to inquire about the news, hoping to run into Sophia's team.

But all he heard was bad news, especially when he heard that Sophia had attacked Caesar, and the Moors were already considering whether they should take advantage of the chaos and escape from Rome overnight, as far away as possible, preferably to Egypt.

He could imagine that the first thought of either Alexander or Nashan when they heard the news was not to punish the daring girl, but to hang him from the doorpost of the Marino Palace.

So when he saw a cavalry in the distance, Uliu was overjoyed at first, but when he saw it clearly, he turned around and fled.

Unfortunately, his ingenuity could not help this time, and before he could get into the alley next to him, Nashan, who had swept quickly, had already rushed behind him, bent down and grabbed the Moorish collar.

"Where's my daughter? Where's Sophia?! Nashan's powerful arm lifted Uliu directly from the ground and dangled it in the air, "If you don't tell me where she is now, I'll tear you to shreds at once!" ”

"I don't know!" Uliu struggled with his hands and feet, but apparently in vain, and Nathan's powerful hands carried the poor Moorish like pincers, and shook him around like a broken sack, "I really don't know, I got separated from her and she was out to save the damned cardinal, and I couldn't stop her at all." ”

"Yes, but you still lost her," Nashan roared angrily, "I've heard a lot about her now, but none of them are what I want to hear." ”

"What can I do," cried Ulliu, indignantly, "I could only keep an eye on a sheep, but you left a lioness in my care." ”

"Yes, you also think my Sophia is a lioness?" Nashan's temper suddenly improved, he let go of Uliu and proudly curled up his upturned beard, "I'll just say, how can my daughter be such a good little woman, that Gombray has taught her a lot, but she is my daughter after all, and it must be different if she bleeds my blood." ”

Looking at the boastful Nashan, Ulius tugged at his collar that had been stuck before, and then he whispered, "I heard that she attacked Caesar Borgia, right?" ”

"Like," replied Nathan, who didn't care at all, "I had been looking for the thugs everywhere, and then suddenly I heard about Sophia, and they said that she had looted the hateful fellows like Attila, and that the thugs were afraid of her and would rather surrender to the Romans than meet her. Nashan laughed proudly, and stared at Ulliu with a blaming gaze, "Why are you unhappy, do you think Sophia is not good enough?" ”

"She's done so well," Ullius groaned, feeling that he was punishing him by meeting such a father and daughter, but he had to ask, "what are we going to do next?" ”

"What else can I do, of course, to find Sophia," Nashan glared at Uliu, "The city of Rome today is so unpeaceful, and Sophia is alone outside, if she has a little mistake, I won't spare you, you know." ”

Looking at Nashan's worried look all of a sudden, the corners of Uliu's mouth trembled, and finally decided not to tell him about Joanna's injury for the time being.

Otherwise, God knows what he's going to do.

Nashan and Uliu followed the 'legend' of Sophia, and they soon discovered that it was a route that had no pattern at all.

Sometimes she can be found in the Jewish ghetto by the affluent Tiber, but sometimes she can be found near the ghettos far from the docks; Perhaps she would break into an ancient temple in order to chase a group of daring gangsters, but the next moment she would run near the town hall and rob a few armed merchants who had recklessly resisted because she had misunderstood that she was a mob.

So much so that when Nathan, running around the city, finally collided with Caesar on his way, he saw a face that had become extremely ugly.

"That woman is your daughter?"

Caesar stared at Nathan's face for a long time, and he wondered how the bohemian could have given birth to such a beautiful daughter, and what made him unbearable was that at the end of the night he had not been able to shake off his anger, but on the contrary he had a stronger desire to conquer the woman than before.

"My daughter, of course," Nashan curled her beard at her lips, "but I'll say yes, if you're going to pursue her, I'm not going to take her order." ”

"Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything to her," Caesar said, but a sudden heat rose in his heart, and he inexplicably imagined what the girl in armor would be like if she were lying on her bed, and the thought would never linger as soon as it appeared, "Tell me where she is, she's been in enough trouble tonight, I have to teach her to be honest." ”

"I don't need you to teach this," Nashan shook his head helplessly, "She has a husband, although I don't like that kid very much, but since Sophia is willing to follow him, I will be fine." ”

Alexandre Juliant Gombray?!

The name flashed through Caesar's mind, and for the first time, he found it unspeakably annoying.

"Then you should probably find another son-in-law," Caesar stared at Nashan's face as he pretended to tease casually, and when he saw Nashan look at him with a strange look, Caesar's clear eyes showed a smile full of meaning, "Maybe you really should let your daughter meet more men, after all, as far as I know, she is still very young and doesn't have a lot of knowledge, right?" ”

"That's right," Nashan nodded involuntarily, "I also think it's a bit hasty to say, after all, Sophia is only 13 years old, and she has seen too few men. ”

Caesar's gloomy face finally smiled for the first time because of Nashan's words, and he raised his hand to make an inviting gesture to Nashan.

But before he could speak, a hurried sound of horses' hooves came from the distant street.

Caesar's men clenched their weapons, and the Bohemians of Nathan began to spread out in both directions.

In the darkness, a group of cavalry quickly ran through the street in their direction, and it was clear that those men had no intention of slowing down, which made Caesar's army instantly nervous, and the soldiers at the front had even instinctively crouched down with spears, ready for the oncoming onslaught!

The cavalry on the opposite side flashed like a flash of fire sweeping across the wasteland, and Nashan even guessed the number of opponents from the rhythm of the horses' hooves on the opposite side!

But just as he was about to open his mouth to warn Caesar, the cavalry from the darkness had already come to them!

The fiery horse neighed, the front hooves stood upright, and a tall chestnut war horse suddenly appeared in front of Caesar.

Caesar's face changed again at this moment, and his face, which was still smiling, suddenly became gloomy again, and there was no expression in his eyes when he looked at the other party.

Nashan was licking his lips, he didn't like this guy, but this guy was his daughter's husband.

Ulliu finally let out a relieved "ahh

"My lord," said Alexander, to Caesar, who was a little caught off guard by his sudden appearance, "and I am back by your order." ”
