Chapter 200: Observations: The Travels of Ulliu
A somewhat panicked scream came from the other side, and Uliu's head was lowered.
First he heard the sparse sound, and then he saw a pair of feet in small boots suddenly appear on the ground, and then a skirt hung down to cover the top of the feet.
Then the hem of her skirt lifted slightly, and Lady Georgeanne was a little flustered, and the footsteps trotted all the way through the dimly lit garden from near to far, until there was no sound.
Only then did Uliu raise his head, he looked at Nashan who was admiring the tip of the scimitar in the moonlight in the moonlight, and was thinking about how to speak, but Nashan spoke first.
"Did Gombray ask you to come?"
Uliu was stunned for a moment and then nodded: "I sent a letter to Lord Earl for my lord, but I didn't expect to see you ......"
"I'm just teaching Madame how to ride a horse," Nashan interrupted Uliu, "You know, the ladies always aspire to tame that noble and beautiful animal, but they don't always know how to do it," Nashan said, twisting his fingers and curling his lips slightly, "and I'm an expert at that, so you know." โ
"I know, I know," Ulliu felt his head swell, and he held back for a moment before he could help but say, "If the master knew about you...... You're teaching his mother how to ride a horse, what do you think he's going to think? โ
"Of course he will be pleased," said Nathan, looking at the Moors with a look that looked as if Ulius had said something strange, "knowing that it is much more reliable to learn from me than from other messy people, especially since I am an expert in this field." โ
"You are indeed a connoisseur." Ulliu felt that he had learned so much from this messenger that he wondered if he would ask his master for a few days off when he returned.
"Okay, if you want to send a letter to the Earl, hurry up, the banquet will begin soon." Nashan waved his hand as he glanced toward the house in the distance of the garden.
Ullius knew that it should be the direction of Lady George Anne's room.
The Moorish hurried away, for he felt that it was indeed inconvenient to speak to Nashan at this time, and after passing through the garden full of fallen leaves, he saw the light of the Count's large flower room in the Tuylan Palace.
One of the servants saw Uriu from afar, and he waved his hand to stop him, and when he saw Uriu approaching, he immediately went over to stop him.
"I am a servant of Lord Count Montina, and I have come to deliver a letter to Lord Count on the orders of my Lord Montina."
Hearing Uliu's words, the servant was slightly stunned and was about to turn around, when a voice came from the flower room: "Let him in." โ
Uliuu walked briskly at once, stopped at his feet when he reached the door, gathered himself a little, and then carefully pushed open the door of the flower room.
The sound of running water came from within, the sound of the river flowing below the flower house, and many Neapolitans were curious about this house, which was almost entirely erected on the river.
Count Mordillo sat in his chair and was looking at a book, and when he saw Uliu enter, he put it on the table beside him, and then looked at the Mor people who had walked not far in front of him.
"I know you, that henchman at Alexander's side."
"Lord Earl, my lord wants me to pay tribute to you for him." Uliwu bowed with his hands folded respectfully.
"Forget the heretic, tell me what you came for, what Alexander sent you to do, since he left Naples, he hasn't seen anyone except writing letters, and that's probably what all families have to go through, when the children are older, they will go out into the world, and then leave their parents at home and never come back."
"I ask your pardon in place of my master." Uliuu bowed again, and then only then did he seriously count a large number of counts.
Count Mordillo looked a little older than before, and a few strands of white could be seen in his hair, which was always smeared with cinnamon oil, and although he was still dressed in very elaborate clothes, Uliuu could feel that the count did not seem to be in good spirits.
"You don't have to be nervous, I'm not resentful of him, I'm just a little emotional," the Count waved his hand and stood up, "Then give me the letter." โ
Ulliu immediately took out a letter from his hidden pocket, but fortunately he had separated them before entering the door, otherwise if the Count had seen the letter from the lord to Miss Tsusha, Ulliuu would have felt that it would not be appropriate.
Instead of rushing to read the letter, the count began to inquire about Ulliu-Alexander.
He had a lot of questions but no clue, he was asking what he had encountered in Rome, then he asked Estlese how old he was now, and then the question became whether it had snowed in Montina now.
In the midst of this series of inquiries, which seemed to be asking anything in the first place, Ulliu had to brace himself and carefully answer the Count's strange inquiries.
It wasn't until a long time later, when a whispered reminder of a servant's knock on the door, came from outside, that the Count let out an "oh."
"The banquet is about to begin, go to the Moors and find something to eat at the banquet, I see you are also tired, a good glass of wine can make you more comfortable."
"My lord, I'm ......"
"Oh, I forgot you're an infidel, but that's okay, no one is perfect after all."
The Count waved his hand at Ulliu, and watched the Moors retreat respectfully, and the Count took the letter Alexander had written to him, patted it in the palm of his hand, and put it in his pocket.
Ulliu did not go to the banquet, which had nothing to do with whether he was a heretic or not, and as soon as he came out of the garden, he saw Nashan sitting on a stone not far away, and looked at the conspicuous garment of the Bohemians, and Uriu walked at once.
"What the hell is going on, you actually got mixed up with the master's mother." Ulliu finally couldn't help but ask, "You know, if the master knows about this, he will be very angry." โ
"Then you are wrong, young man, as far as I know, dear George Anne has no shortage of lovers, and before me her lover was almost a squadron changed, and I think there will be no less in the future, so it is better to fool around with me than with lads who may be younger than himself."
Uliuu opened his mouth to retort, then shook his head silently.
Madame Georgianne's affair is also a big topic in the city of Naples, and whenever she gets into a hot fight with someone, people tend to speculate about how long her affair will last.
Thinking about having such a mother, Uliu suddenly felt a little pity for the brother and sister.
"By the way, I'm here to ask me to bring you a message," Uliu felt that it was important to get down to business, he looked at Nashan first, and saw that there was nothing unusual on his face, so he said cautiously, "My lord is getting married, that is, with the cardinal's daughter." โ
Nathan paused, then nodded.
"Aren't you going to say something?" Uliu, a little uneasy, asked.
"What do you say, that this is unfair to Sophia?" Nashan glanced at Uliu, "You are very loyal to your Gombray, but now Sophia has nothing to do with this matter, and he can marry whoever he wants." โ
"It's not up to you to decide if it's irrelevant," Uliuu muttered, "I can see that the master hasn't forgotten Sophia, I know you resent all of us, but that was ...... at the time."
Speaking of this Uliu moving his neck helplessly, of course he knew that Sophia's departure was actually a decision made by everyone, from Queen Joanna to Uliu, everyone was silently putting pressure on Sophia, until finally the bohemian girl had to choose to leave.
What did the lord himself think at the time, Ulliu didn't want to speculate about such a pointless thing, but now Nashan was in front of him, and he had accidentally mixed up with Lady George Anne, which made the Moors have to take it seriously.
"You're not going to do that with Lady George Anne for revenge, are you?" Uliuu looked at Nashan with suspicion, and the thought of it made him feel more and more that this was the case.
"What nonsense are you talking about," Nashan looked at Uliu with disgust, "do you think I'm going to do that kind of boring thing, you may not believe it, this lady is such a stunner, I'm really fascinated by her, I even think that if I could get her to have a child for me, maybe it would be more perfect." โ
"Then the master will fight with you." Ulius sighed helplessly, and then asked a more concerned question, "How much do you know about Miss Cosenza?" โ
"Do you mean the rumors about who she's going to marry that father and son?" Nashan looked at Uliu, then looked up at the cold moon overhead, "I don't think it's that simple. โ
"Of course it's not easy, the king has taken a fancy to the Countess's territory." Ulliu said a little indignantly, "I know the Countess, and she will never agree to either father and son, but if her uncle or mother agrees to this marriage, things may be a little troublesome." โ
"Well, I don't think you have to worry," Nashan got up from the stone and stretched, "It seems that you still don't know the young lady, why do you think the father and son are vying to marry her, do you think it's just for her territory?" โ
Uliu looked at Nashan a little dazedly.
"You ought to go to Cosenza," Nashan staggered toward the ballroom, "but I suppose you're going too, so go see for yourself what she's up to." โ
Ulius looked at Nashan's back with some bewilderment, and then heard the Bohemian seem to whisper to himself, "That must have been learned from that Gombray." โ
Ulius did not stay long in Naples, as Nashan said that he was going to see him, so the Moors went out at dawn on the second day.
This time, however, he borrowed a good horse from the Count's stable, so when he finally entered the territory of Cosenza, he did not lose much time.
"I guess the lord is in Rome at this time," thought Ulliu, riding on his horse, "I wonder what it would be like if the lord knew who his new fucking mistress was." โ
Uliu took out a piece of dry cake from the bag next to him and took a bite hard, being a messenger is also very hard, not to mention the wind and rain on the road, but also to face all kinds of possible or impossible sudden events, thinking about these things that he has heard recently, Uliu is thinking about how to report to the master when he goes back.
A faint neighing of horses came from the end of the road in the distance, and Uliuu immediately stopped.
It was not a good time to go out these days, and thinking that even the monks could be robbed, Ulliu couldn't help but touch the musket and dagger hanging from the saddle.
As the sound of the horses' hooves drew nearer, and there were quite a few people listening to them, Uliu's nervousness became even greater, and he looked at the terrain around him, and when he saw that there was a slightly convex stone to hide, he immediately led his mount towards it.
The team in the distance was getting closer, and a group of cavalry could be seen under the smoke and dust.
Then Ulius was surprised to see a flag at the front of the procession.
It was the coat of arms of Cosenza, and the cavalry was coming from far and near, led by the coat of arms.
Ulius looked at the cavalry carefully, he was not sure of the origin of those men, and although he was flying the banner of Kosenza, he still did not rush out.
As the team got closer, the pattern on the helmet of the man in front of him could already be seen as he swayed with his mount.
Suddenly, Ulius saw a familiar figure, and although the man probably didn't like him, he was sure that they were indeed from Kosencha.
"Kosencha!" Ulliu first shouted to get the attention of the men, and then came out from behind the stones: "I am the servant of the Count of Montina, and I have come to deliver a letter to the Countess. โ
Ulliu's appearance immediately attracted the attention of the cavalry team, and the leading knight raised his arm to beckon his companions behind him to stop, and when he looked closely at Uriu, the leading knight let out a muffled "snort".
"Moors."
"Master Belleri," Ulliu greeted as he looked at the knight on his horse, "I didn't expect to see you so soon."
"I really didn't expect it," Boleri frowned and looked at Ulliu coldly, he hated this servant of Alexandria just as much, "what are you doing here?" โ
"I'm going to see Miss Count, and my lord wants me to send a letter to Miss Count." Ulius glanced at the cavalry, and then smelled the faint smell of blood coming from them.
The smell made Uliu's heart tremble, and he looked at Beleri involuntarily.
Sensing Uliu's wary gaze, Beleri let out a sneer.
"You should be glad for yourselves, if you speak up later, you may have lost your life by this time." Bellery waved his arm to Ulliu, and the gesture was like holding an invisible machete, "If you are afraid, blame your master, we are now serving him." โ
At this, a look of disgust appeared on Bellery's face, and his eyes glared at Ullius viciously, which made the Moors think that what he had said before did not seem like a joke at all.
"That Cambrai has found us a bunch of scoundrels, ruffians and scumbags," said Bellรฉry, urging his horse forward slowly, "and many of the workers he is looking for are of this condition, and we pay them for their wages, but we only let them do some work in the fields of Cosenza, and some of them can't stand it, and some people even start riots. โ
Listening to Bellery's complaints, Ulliu was eager to tell him that many of the workers he said were actually chosen by Miss Countess, but looking at Bellery's expression, the Moors felt no need to be honest with him in such a trivial matter.
"Except for those who have families, many of them are liars and villains, and they all deserve to be hanged from trees."
Ulliu, who had no objection to Bolery's remark, had inquired about the people of the workers, and although it was true that many of them had to leave their homes because of poverty, many of them were of the same kind as Bellery had said.
But this is the only kind of person who will accept such a job so easily.
It's just that those people probably didn't think about who they were up against.
Bellรฉry was the son of the old Count of Cosenza, and although he was an illegitimate child, he still inherited the habits of the Cosenza family.
That is to be resolute, just as his half-brother Keisel did not hesitate to betray their father, and Bolery is only kinder to his own family.
As for the workers, Ulius felt that Bellery would not be much better for them than for the enemy.
"I'll take you to see Shosha," said Boleri suddenly, "but you leave here as soon as the letter arrives, do you understand?" โ
Ulliu nodded indifferently, he knew that Boleri had always been inexplicably hostile to Alexander, maybe it all had something to do with Miss Countess, but Ulliu didn't want to delve into it.
"Those men have caused us a lot of trouble," said Belรฉry suddenly, "why didn't Gombray find men from the East or from Africa, and weren't those slaves more suited to the plantations of Crete?" โ
Listening to Bellery's complaints, Ulliu frowned imperceptibly, he knew that it was probably the same for Bellery, whether it was an African or a Moor, just as he was a slave in his eyes.
What Ulius didn't expect was that Boleri did not take him back to Cosenza Castle, but passed by the castle from a distance, and then embarked on a path that he was familiar with.
"Is this going to Agri?" Uliu asked with some surprise?
"Yes," said Belleri, looking at the castle looming through the woods in the distance, in a slightly helpless tone, "if you want to see the countess of Cosenza, you must ask Agri to find it, and almost everyone in Cosenza knows about it now." โ
Listening to Bellery's complaining tone, Uliuu closed his mouth in amusement, but what made him a little puzzled was that Miss Countess was going to stay in the old man and not do anything in Agri.
However, Ulius soon learned of the mission of the cavalry led by Bellery, who were dedicated to capturing workers who tried to escape.
According to Bellery, Bonsha spent a lot of money and experience on those people, so these people had to obey orders and arrangements, and as for some of them who thought that the work was too hard, and that they did not have enough food or any other unsatisfactory behavior, they were simply regarded by Bellery as rebellion.
As a result of this thinking, he mercilessly punished a few of the leaders who led the trouble, and then when some of the workers could not bear it anymore, he immediately waved his butcher's knife at them.
Ulius didn't know how Alexander would feel if he saw the dead men hanging from the stump at the entrance of the village, but after seeing the scene, he thought that Mademoiselle Countess had made Berelli complicated on the plantation in Crete very good at picking people.
Ulliu met him in the old farmstead of the plains, after crossing the river, where Alexander and Quessa had stayed for a while.
When he saw the golden beehives on the farm, which could be noticed from a long distance, and the smell of spices that came with the cold wind, Uliuu couldn't help but think of what Nashan had said to him.
The arrival of the cavalry attracted the attention of the people in the farmstead, some of whom looked up into the distance, but many more simply looked at it and immediately went about their work.
Ulius noticed that it seemed to be the workers who were working diligently.
The team stopped in front of a group of women who were busy picking out dried flowers, and then Belleri made a gesture towards Ulliu, as if to say "It's here".
"Where's Mademoiselle, I want to see Mademoiselle Count."
Uliu looked around a little dazedly, until a woman in a coarse cloth skirt with a handkerchief wrapped around her head stood in front of him.
"Moor, what are you doing here?" The young woman asked crisply.
Uliu's mouth opened instantly.
He was stunned, but finally couldn't help but exclaim: "Miss Count! โ
"Yes, it's me," said Countess Cosenza, smiling at Ulliu, "did you bring news of my brother?" โ
