Sophia decides to teach Josa a lesson, or rather let the woman know who is the master of Bucharest.

When the news of the victory on the east bank of the Dembvica River came, the whole city was instantly plunged into a sea of joy, and people took to the streets to cheer loudly, and the bell of the Bucharest Cathedral kept ringing, and the bell-ringers, who had completely forgotten the rules, did not even count how many times they had struck.

The whole city was cheering, praying, and shouting praises to the guardian angels of Bucharest, and everyone said that it was God's grace that had once again descended on the city of miracles in Bucharest.

But among these people, only Sophia is unhappy.

Not only was she unhappy, she was even angry, or rather angry.

The reason for this was that Sophia suddenly found that while everyone was taking to the streets to celebrate the glorious victory of that pesky Josa, her house was in full swing digging trenches and building fortifications.

And her residence has been turned into a strong fortress.

Sophia's residence was a small separate palace in the city, surrounded by a slightly raised stone wall, and a small river was drawn into the courtyard, forming a large pool on the right side of the palace that half surrounded the palace.

This small palace on the banks of the Dembvica River was a gift from Alexander to Sophia.

Sofia had been living in a castle in Bucharest, which not only made it inconvenient for the two to meet, but Alexander feared that Sophia might become a hostage if there was an inevitable conflict between him and Ladislas II.

Alexander was never optimistic about the character of Ladislas II, and as for his credit, Alexander thought that perhaps there was no such thing for this king.

So Alexander decided to find another place for Sophia from the beginning, and took the opportunity of announcing the holy marriage contract to give Sophia this small palace.

From the outside, this Eastern Roman-style palace is very sturdy and forested, but there is nothing special about it, but only the hunters in charge of guarding it know how easy and difficult it is to defend this small palace, which has been converted according to Alexander's orders

Under the pretext of building a garden, the yard was made by removing debris from all sides of the house, making the house very empty, creating an ideal firing circle, and from the direction of the sturdy windows on the first floor, which were almost completely enclosed, it was almost perfect to aim muskets at almost all the dead corners in the vicinity of the building.

Alexander believed that such a fortress-like structure would be enough for Sophia to stay in it until he came to his aid, and that the house was left with a guard hunter who had followed him from the beginning, which allowed them to guarantee their loyalty.

And just before the news of the victory on the east bank came, the hunters guarding the house were leading a group of Greeks to build barricades on the streets at either end of the courtyard.

Alexander's undisguised distrust of Ladislas II turned into a humiliation for Sophia after the news of the victory.

A carriage appeared outside the courtyard, while a group of soldiers with muskets followed.

Sophia had actually heard the song just now, which made her even more angry, and she thought it was Josha provoking her, or simply laughing at her.

Sophia felt that Jossa was hinting at the fact that when she was standing on the battlefield, she was hiding in the nest that Alexander had built for her, trembling timidly.

I can bear this, so what can't I bear?

Dare to go to the battlefield is amazing?!

Sophia took a deep breath, then lifted the corner of her skirt slightly and walked down the stairs in the standard posture she had learned from the queen.

She couldn't let the woman who called herself a sister think she was victorious, and he didn't believe that a noble lady like Ezusa could really face the Ottomans on the battlefield.

Maybe in fact she was hiding far away, or even simply scared and overwhelmed, so Sophia had decided to expose Josha's disguise in front of Alexander.

The carriage stopped silently in the open space of the garden, but no one came down, and Sophia stood at the door of the house staring at the closed door, her lips moving slightly.

She couldn't speak, but that didn't mean she couldn't make herself comfortable with silent nagging and even cursing, she still stood still, but in fact she was extremely annoyed in her heart, especially when she saw that the carriage had not moved, Sophia couldn't bear to walk forward any longer.

She only took a step forward, and the door of the carriage slowly opened.

In the light of the torches, Alexander stepped out of the car, but he did not come and stood aside, and then a pretty figure slowly appeared.

Josha leaned out of the car before slowly stepping out of the car with Alexander's help.

Maybe it's because of the firelight, but for some reason Sophia always felt that Jisha's cheeks were a little unnaturally red, which made her eyes squint slightly, and a head that was set off by a slender neck because of the huge bun on the back of her head involuntarily tilted slightly to the side.

Alexander was keenly aware of Sophia's move, and his spirit immediately tensed, because with what he knew about Sophia, when she made these two moves, it was likely that something would happen next.

Sure enough, just as the tips of her toes landed on the ground, countless figures suddenly appeared from the shadows around the garden!

The figures seemed to emerge from the ground out of nowhere, and even Alexander, who knew how they had suddenly appeared, was taken aback by the sight of the weapons in their hands that glittered in the darkness.

The Kosenza soldiers around the carriage were confused by this sudden change, and they took their muskets from their shoulders, some of them were accustomed to pointing their guns at the shaking figures in the darkness, while others looked around blankly with their weapons raised.

"Grenadier! Array! ”

A crisp command sounded from the side of the carriage, and with this command, the panicked grenadiers immediately formed a tight double phalanx around the carriage.

The soldiers on the periphery crouched down one after another, while the soldiers on the inner layer simultaneously poked the butts of their muskets into the ground, waiting for the order from Jisha.

They huddled around the carriage, staring nervously at the dark shadows, some with hands trembling from nervousness.

"Don't panic!" A few steps before she came to the back of a row of soldiers, her hand on her waist as if to touch the hilt of her sword, but it was empty, which made her a little annoyed as she snatched a musket from one of the soldiers, and pulled the muzzle up and down the bolt.

A dull gunshot rang out with a "bang", and the grenadiers in the phalanx immediately raised their guns and aimed them at the surrounding darkness.

It was only that the hands of many people trembled slightly, and it was clear that these grenadiers were not used to this situation, which was like being watched by a beast in the dark.

A violent slap came from the door of the house, Sophia completely ignored the dignity of pretending to be a noble lady before, her hands kept clapping excitedly, and even patted her huge chest that made Jisha even more annoyed, and although she couldn't laugh, her throat still made a sound of excitement because of excitement.

A layer of black suddenly appeared on her originally flushed cheeks, and she ignored the grenadiers' resistance, lifted her skirt, pushed the soldiers in front of her, and strode towards Sophia.

Alexander hurried after him, he reached out and grabbed Josha's arm tightly, feeling that her body seemed to tremble slightly from anger, Alexander had to lower his voice and say to her, "Don't forget what you're here for." ”

Her cheeks, flushed almost like a flame, twitched slightly, and she turned her head to look at Alexander, and then said in a low voice that only the two of them could hear, "I know what I'm here for, but my brother, you'd better think about whether you want this nasty wild girl or your lovely sister." ”

With that, she forcefully broke away from Alexander's grabbed arm and straightened up and walked towards Sophia.

Alexander rubbed his aching head, and then hurried after him, he was only worried that these two stupid girls who were fighting each other would do something stupid in front of so many people, and if that happened maybe the city of Bucharest would be full of rumors tomorrow morning.

The relationship between the sister-in-law and the sister-in-law was not easy to get along with in the first place, thinking about it, if there were rumors that the sister-in-law and the sister-in-law were jealous and fighting, Alexander really didn't know how to deal with it.

"Those fortifications are for your protection, not for you to frighten people." Alexander walked over to Sophia with some annoyance, and whispered to Sophia, who already knew that the Greeks who seemed to have suddenly emerged from the ground were actually taking advantage of the hidden whereabouts around the courtyard, and it was obvious that Sophia was trying to make a fool of herself in this way, and it seemed that it had indeed worked out now.

At least the grenadiers didn't seem to be calm enough to deal with this sudden turn of events.

Sophia made a slightly exaggerated gesture of panic, and then a mocking sound came out of her throat.

"My soldiers are the bravest, just look at their performance on the battlefield," Jisha lowered her head slightly and looked at the 'little man' in front of her, looking at her figure that although she was not very tall, but in some places she looked really envious, Jisha straightened her waist even harder, and stared at Sophia who had to raise her head slightly to confront her in a condescending posture, "And your house looks very strong, it seems that my brother protects you very well." As for me, I can only serve him on the battlefield. ”

Sophia's cheeks turned red, her fists clenched with anger tightened, and just as she was about to fight back at this provocation, Alexander suddenly stepped forward between the two of them and whispered to them: "Enough, do you want everyone to know about the stupid thing you two have done tomorrow?" ”

With that, Alexander walked between the two and walked towards the house.

Behind him, the two sisters-in-law, who looked at each other very unpleasantly, looked at each other coldly from a distance, and then walked into the open door together.

Behind him, some soldiers followed into the house carrying several heavy-looking wooden boxes.

Sophia, who walked into the house, deliberately walked slowly to the end of the long table, and then turned to sit on the main seat.

She smiled with satisfaction when she saw that Josha was consciously seated at the other end of the long table, and then frowned at the sight of Alexander sitting on a chair in the middle of the table.

Sophia stretched out her hand and patted it on the chair on her side, and when she saw that Alexander was not moving, she stubbornly patted the back of the chair again.

"I think it's best for my brother to sit there, because he's going to be a witness to the negotiations between us, so he needs to be fair."

Listening to Jisha's words, Sophia's brows furrowed even tighter, although it sounded like that, but she didn't know if it was too much, she always felt that Jisha had a strange tone that made her want to be angry when she said the title "my brother".

Wives and lovers can be many, but the lovely sister has only one.

Jisha looked at Sophia's slightly ugly look, smug a little, and then waved her hand at the soldiers.

Several heavy crates were placed on the table, and as the planks were pried open, the weapons inside were revealed.

"I know you're preparing to arm the Greeks right now," looking at Sophia's puzzled look, she looked at her opposite with her chin on the back of her left hand, "I can provide you with more than enough weapons, in addition to swords and spears and armor, I can provide the most powerful musket to date, these are the fruits of my brother." ”

Sophia's eyebrows were about to be twisted together, and she was not at all interested in rearming the Greeks, but the grenadiers of the Grenadiers made her feel very unwilling.

"I've brought enough weapons to arm an army, and I can even provide you with artillery if needed," Josha smiled seductively, "Actually, I'd rather you stay here, maybe the Greek princess is really suitable for you." ”

Susha's words made Sophia immediately vigilant, and she stared carefully at the "sister-in-law" opposite, while her not-so-clever little head wondered what she was going to do.

"Sophia, you need to organize the Greeks and build an army," at this point Alexander spoke, "Trust me, it's for all of us." ”

Ladislas II stood in a corner of the castle and looked at the city below.

It's a very secluded place, and because of its high and remote location, very few people come here.

From here, you can see the entire brightly lit city below, and if you look further away, you can see the Ottoman barracks outside the city, which used to be continuous, but now it has become a little messy.

The division of the Ottoman army, already obvious.

Bucharest today is the city of joy, the city of miracles.

The war was coming to an end, which was the reason for the joy of almost all Bucharestans, but for Ladislas II, the war was not over, or there was still a big problem to be solved.

The Bosnian army was still in Hungary, and to make matters worse, he found that it seemed that the Balkans were clearly not concerned about what was happening in Hungary.

Perhaps it was because the royal palaces of Prague and Budapest had always been too harsh and cruel to the Balkans, but for the Wallachians, at least, the Hungarians represented not a friendship with fellow believers in Christendom, but an unpleasant conquest and subjugation.

Now more than ever, Ladislas II needed allies, or rather, hoped that the Balkans would remember his generosity in aiding them.

The withdrawal of the Ottoman army is an indisputable fact, and although it is uncertain what happened to the Sultan, it now appears that Bayezid II must have lost control of the entire Ottoman army.

This can be guessed from the fact that some Ottoman troops had already begun to send people to loot for food.

Compared with the coalition army, the Ottoman army had a significantly more complete logistics system, especially after entering the rich area of the Bucharest plain, and the Ottomans made full use of this almost perfect logistics system in this era.

Therefore, in order to completely destroy the villages outside the city of Bucharest, the supply of the Ottoman army was almost always distributed by special logistics troops arranged by the Sultan.

This method ensures that the entire army is adequately supplied, and prevents the dispersion of forces due to raiding.

Even when Helva frequently wreaked havoc in the rear, the Ottoman army was never thrown into disarray, as the well-developed logistics were not too badly damaged.

However, the fact that some Ottoman troops had begun to privately plunder food in the vicinity suggests that even if the Ottoman army still had enough supplies, some of the Sultan troops were in danger of being cut off from supplies, believing that the Sultan had suffered an unexpected split.

The retreat of the Ottomans is imminent, but will the Bosnians retreat?

The king was worried about this.

Alexander's words had always haunted him, and he knew that it was not just an empty threat, but a real possibility.

And if Helva and Rova? United, even if their ambitions were only for southern Hungary, then Ladislas II was in big trouble.

One of his retinues walked up behind the king, and he carefully looked at the king's gloomy face.

"Your Majesty, the guests are here." The retinue whispered.

"Ask him to come over." The king turned to look into the darkness of the corridor of the city wall, and saw a figure in armor shining in the dark, and the king beckoned to him from afar, "There are only two of us here, don't worry that no one will see it." ”

The man stepped out of the shadows, and the bright moonlight shone on his face, reflecting the slightly tired but glittering eyes of Cepes.

For the king did not go to meet Cepes, many people know the reason.

There have been rumors that Vlad III's death was related to Ladislas II, and it has even been implied that the king bribed the Dragon Knights stationed in the city of Dembvica and made them betray Vlad III.

However, these are always rumors, and no one has ever been able to prove them.

However, no one doubted that there was a mutual relationship between the king and Setpes, so no one would have imagined that the victorious Wallachian army had not yet fully entered the city, and that Trypes would suddenly meet with Ladislas II in such a remote place.

"You've already made your decision?" Chipes looked at Ladislas II.

"Yes, I decided, I know it's risky, after all, the Ottomans are just outside the city, but because of this, it's all the more unexpected, no one would have thought that we would attack at this time," the king's face turned unusually pale in the moonlight, "Whether it's Count Montina or Sophia, they must die!" ”
