Meeting Conneo in Venice was indeed a surprise to Alexander, who had speculated about the mysterious woman's possible origins, including that he might have been sent by the Venetians.

Connie first appeared with the Sforza family, then at Josa's side, and then the woman's sudden and mysterious disappearance, which made Alexander think he would never see her again.

But now she suddenly visited, which made Alexander secretly wonder what her purpose and purpose were.

As Alexander looked at the woman, Lady Connie turned around and looked at Alexander with a complicated look.

She didn't expect that this Cambrai, who was actually just a small person in her eyes at the beginning, has now become a real big man, in addition to what he did in the Balkans, even if it is only in Italy, this person has far exceeded his performance and status when she first met, it can be said that putting aside the family background that many people think of as the most, this young man now has everything no worse than those real nobles, and even if you think about it carefully, you will find that Compared with those nobles who have a high status by pure inheritance, although Alexander's and the Count of Montina are also from a woman, his current achievements are really a little bit by relying on his personal ability, and some of them even have the shadow of Connie's own participation.

"Count, you don't want to order my arrest, do you?" Connie asked, half-jokingly, half-seriously, that she was actually a little worried when she said this, because she suddenly found that she could not grasp the mind of this young and mysterious man.

Just as Alexander thought that Coneo's origin was mysterious, she also found Alexander's mystery, especially his seemingly miraculous appearance, which made Connieo always wonder how he did many things that others would not have been able to do.

"How can you be so unreasonable to a guest," Alexander said with a smile, and then his face suddenly sank, and his eyes were fixed on Conneo opposite, "but for an enemy, I think your idea is in line with my heart." ”

As Alexander spoke, two hunters appeared at the door, staring at Conio, as if they would do it at Alexander's command.

A hint of panic flashed in Connie's eyes, she really didn't expect Alexander to really treat her in such a rough way, which made her nervous for a moment, she knew that if she couldn't come up with something that could impress this person today, maybe she would really fall into the net this time.

"I know who killed Giovanni," Connieo said suddenly, and then she realized that it might not be clear enough, and quickly added, "I'm talking about Giovanni Borgia, and I know who killed him." ”

Alexander was stunned, he didn't expect this woman to venture to see him for this matter.

Speaking of which, more than 2 years have passed since the death of Giovanni Borgia, and because so many things have happened during this time, many people have even forgotten the former Duke of Gandino, and even Lucrezia has gradually come out of the pain of losing her loved ones, and perhaps because she is worried that Giovanni's death is related to her other relatives, Lucrezia is even more taboo about this matter.

She rarely took the initiative to mention Giovanni, and if it was involved for some reason, she would try to avoid it, and for Lucrezia, Giovanni's death had become a taboo.

So when Connie said she knew the real killer of Giovanni, Alexander couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Seeing the look of surprise on Alexander's face, Connieo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then she quickly continued: "I know this matter is important to you, don't forget that Giovanni is your family. ”

Alexander smiled wryly, if from the side of Lucrezia and Estelles, Connie was indeed not wrong, Giovanni was his brother-in-law after all, and although Lucrezia was afraid to know the truth, she didn't want to hear that Giovanni's death had nothing to do with her family.

It's just that when he thinks of the black history of Borgia's family who specializes in his own family, Alexander feels a little headache for having such a family.

"I don't think you risked your time in front of me just to tell me this," Giovanni's death may seem mysterious, but Alexander can be sure that Connie didn't come to see him for this purpose, "Tell me what the hell are you going to do, I can spare you when you tell me the real culprit who killed Giovanni." Speaking of this, Alexander added, "Leave you alone for now." ”

"Count you are the perfect lover, and I can see that you really love Lucrezia, and you can even spare me for her sake?" Connie said with a slight sneer, seeing the impatience flashing in Alexander's eyes, she immediately said cautiously, "Actually, I didn't come to you with any malice, although I came to ask for your help, but I believe that I can still be of some use to you." ”

"Boom." A faint sound came from outside the door, and Connie seemed to hear something and couldn't help but look in the direction of the door, and Alexander looked back at the two hunters who didn't seem to hear anything, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Ma'am, do you know that you have put us both in a very dangerous situation?" Alexander took two steps forward and whispered in a low voice, seeing Connie's puzzled look, he sighed helplessly, turned back and waved his hand to the two hunters to make them stand down, and then he immediately walked away a few steps away from Mrs. Conio, pointed to a chair a little farther away and asked her to sit down, "Now let's get down to business, probably you don't know how precious my time is now, and there are thousands of florins at all times." ”

"I'm going to save my father," Connie said, apparently not wanting to waste time, as she sat down with her back straight, her eyes fixed on Alexander, and in a tone of earnestness, "I think I can work with you, for you have proven that you are a strong partner." ”

"Ma'am, please be careful with your words," Alexander had to remind Connie, thinking that at this time there might be a bare jar of vinegar eavesdropping outside the door, and he thought it better to be careful, "I want to know what happened to your father, and if you need my help, what can you give me, uh, I mean what are you going to give in exchange?" Faintly hearing what seemed to be a fist smashing against a wall outside the door, Alexander had to switch to a less ambiguous statement.

"I told you about my father," Connie said a little hurriedly, "he's in big trouble because of his hobbies, and now he's in a terrible situation, and it's the Sforza family, so I don't care what happens to the Sforza family, but I have to save my father." ”

Alexander nodded, he remembered that Connieo had mentioned her father, and from the look of pride on her face at the time, it was not a disguise, and it had been two or three years since the conflict between them when they first met, and he was really an insignificant little person at that time, and if the woman had been planning to harm him with a series of lies since then, Alexander felt that he had looked up to himself a little too much.

"Tell me what's wrong with your father," Alexander believed that the woman had come for his own sake, and it was unknown whether her real purpose was to save her father, but she should have a lot of things in her hands, in fact, just think of the Ottomans who saw her appear around her in the first place, and Massimo who almost lost his life because he overheard her encounter with someone, he knew that there were too many secrets in this woman, "And what do you want from me." ”

"I want to get my father out, but he's not here right now," Connie said after thinking about it as if he didn't have a clear idea, so he added "He's locked up in Constantinople now." ”

Alexander was slightly stunned, he raised his hand and instinctively pointed in the direction of the sea outside the window, and when he saw Conio nodding silently, he couldn't help but sigh softly: "Ahh

"My father loved to travel everywhere, and he followed his fleet everywhere, and brought back the travelogues of the local customs, and his last trip was to Asia Minor, when he was about to go to India," Connie shook his head with some annoyance, "but it was the Sforza family who harmed him, and they embezzled all his possessions, and made it impossible for him to fulfill his obligations to the Ottoman creditors, and as a result he was imprisoned in Constantinople, and his fleet was confiscated, I had to go to Constantinople to save my father, but in exchange for the threat of compulsion. ”

"The Ottomans want you to serve them, don't they?" Alexander didn't feel compelled to believe Conio's words, she might have done them to save her father, but there must have been more reasons for her not to say, but now he didn't care about that, he did take some interest in Conio's words, especially since he thought that it might involve the Ottomans, and he felt that it was a rare opportunity, "But I want to know who wants you to come to me." ”

"It's Ashulk," Connie didn't pretend to be mysterious about the matter, she smiled at Alexander, "That's why I've heard a lot about you, and I think you might be able to help me." ”

"Ashulk, yes, it's him."

Alexander was not surprised, from the first time he found the Ottomans around Connie, and then saw Ashulk who visited Rome, Alexander wondered if there was any connection between the two, but then Connieo disappeared and Ashulk became his partner, he threw this idea that he didn't care about him anymore, and now listening to Connie O talk about Ashulk, Alexander couldn't help but feel that the Ottoman should have never forgotten his real purpose in Europe from the beginning, It was only while being loyal to the Sultan that he took care of earning some money for himself.

"Ashulk came to Rome on a different mission." Connie said carefully, her voice as low as possible, and her gaze couldn't help but wander between Alexander and the outside of the door, and at the same time she had a look of news.

Alexander reluctantly stood up and walked to the door, he coughed lightly, then pushed the door open, and saw Sophia standing by the door.

Sophia didn't show any embarrassment because she was caught eavesdropping, but instead confronted Alexander with a straight look, until Alexander reached out and grabbed her waist and walked into the room with some helplessness.

Connie immediately stood up and bowed her head, her body squatted very low, her head hung honestly, her tame appearance made Sophia's mood better, the most important thing was that Sophia found that this was an "old woman", which made her feel a lot more relieved.

Alexander may have a lot of affection, but even Sophia can't help but admit that her husband is still very picky, at least like the "old" woman in front of her, Sophia doesn't think she will pose any threat to herself.

"I don't think I need to introduce it, but let's tell me what you came for."

Alexander motioned for Connie to sit down and continued, and it was clear that the news that Coneo had brought should be important, which made him think that the evening might be a little long.

Connie sat down and looked at Sophia, seeing that although she was looking at herself, she had Alexander's hand on her own lap, and unconsciously wrenched his fingers, Connie was sure that the two men were indeed as close as the legend suggests.

This made her decide to tell her what she wanted to do today.

"Your Highness, Your Excellency," Connie first called out in a regular manner, seeing that Sophia seemed to frown slightly, Connie knew that she might have made a mistake after a little thought, it was obvious that Sophia didn't like this very formal way of calling the two of them separately, so Connie changed her words quietly, "I think the two of you must know that Bayezid II expelled his other brother Jem to become sultan when he succeeded to the throne." Seeing Alexander nodded, Connie smiled with satisfaction, as for Sophia's dazed look, under Alexander's hint, Connie chose to ignore it, "At that time, Jem had asked the Knights Hospitaller for support, but the Knights sent him to Europe, and then to the Vatican through France," Connie saw that Alexander listened carefully, so he gradually let go of the apprehension in his heart, "Many people know about this, People even ridiculed the Vatican for using Jem as a bargaining chip to extort tens of thousands of gold coins from the Sultan every year in order to make money, but we all know that unfortunately this chip was not very lucky, and Cem died in a prison in Naples a few years ago. ”

Alexander nodded again, he had asked Jisha about it, according to Jisha, the hapless Ottoman prince was crushed by his body after a long period of fugitiveness and unfortunate life as a hostage, and there are several theories as to the cause of his death, some say that he died of illness and others say that Jem was poisoned, these legends cast a veil of mystery over the cause of the Ottoman prince's death.

However, Alexander was a little strange about what this had to do with Oshulk, after all, Cem had been dead for several years, and even if there were still remnants loyal to him, with the wrist of Bayezid II, after losing Cem as a leader, what could the Ottoman nobles who supported him raise up trouble?

As if seeing Alexander's doubts, Connie lowered his voice and said slowly, "In fact, Jem left behind a child during his time in exile in Europe. ”

Hearing this, Alexander couldn't help but instinctively look at Sophia next to him.

The lost Greek princess is enough to make the whole Balkan chicken fly and the dog jumps, and now that he suddenly hears that a lost Ottoman prince has appeared, Alexander can't help but start to deeply suspect that Connie is playing a trick of copying and borrowing.

"Wait, you're saying that Jem didn't forget to find a woman for himself to entertain himself when he was being sold like a commodity by Europeans?" Alexander looked at Conneo with a smirk, "But when he was imprisoned in the Neapolitan prison until he died, how could he not hear of him, but the child visited him." ”

"Maybe he didn't even know he had such a child, and as for Jem finding himself a woman when he was imprisoned, I think you probably misunderstood," Connie said with a smile, "why someone couldn't have sent a woman to him?" ”

Connie's words made Alexander's slightly mocking smile disappear in an instant.

He couldn't help but think of the trick played by Count Mordillo, compared to the others, Count Mordillo used his sister as bait to seduce the wrist of King Enrique of Castile, which is called a big deal.

"And Ashulk?"

"The Sultan heard the news, so he sent a lot of people to track down the news of that child in Jem." Connie couldn't help but glance at Sophia as she spoke, if Sophia, the Greek princess, was more due to constant legends that made her eventually a legend, then Jem's descendants were definitely a thorn in the Sultan's throat that made him extremely uncomfortable.

"You, and Ashulk?"

"Yes, of course we have other things to do, but this is something that all the Sultans send to Europe must be aware of." Connie said with a slight smug smile, "And maybe because I've always been lucky enough to find out where the kid is." ”

Although he had already guessed, Alexander couldn't help but show a look of surprise when he heard Conio's words, and he asked in a deep voice: "You said before that Ashulk asked you to come to see me, which means that he already knows the whereabouts of that person?" ”

"Yes, my lord," Connie said, leaning drowsy at Alexander's shoulder, snoozing with a half-squinted eye, Sophia glanced at him, leaned forward slightly, and whispered to Alexander, "You know this person, and it just so happened that this person killed Giovanni." ”

As soon as Connie's voice fell, a figure flashed through Alexander's heart, and he couldn't help blurting out a name: "Pedro Caderon!" ”
