In the darkness without light, only the faint moonlight outside the window poured into the room through the window, and the silver moonlight happened to drape over Connie de Marindao's body from behind, not only covering her unclothed body with a layer of silver veil, but also setting off her uneven curves blocking the moonlight clearly and prominently.

The woman stood silently in front of the bed, looking at Alexander, who was looking up at her.

She didn't know how dangerous it was, and if it weren't for the fact that she was naked and unarmed, she might have been shot by the musket Alexander was holding secretly when she came out of the secret door.

It was unusually cold in the room at night, and Alexander did not dare to light a fire, and at this time people did not fully understand coal, so they did not know about the terrible thing of gas poisoning, although there must have been some people who were unlucky because of it, and it is estimated that no one had associated this with gas yet.

"Ma'am, it's not fitting for you to go to a man's room alone on a night like this." Alexander under the quilt asked Connieo de Marindao standing in the cold room that he looked at the woman's faint face and couldn't help but think of the portrait in the living room, but he admitted that Connieo was more seductive at this time than the portrait.

"Ma'am, though I don't know your relationship with Lord Colombo, I hope you would leave for the sake of respect," seeing that Conneo did not speak, Alexander hugged the quilt and said unmoved to the woman who was suffering from the cold, "Whatever you have to do, we can talk after dawn." ”

"Hoza asked me to come," Connie suddenly spoke, her first sentence made Alexander slightly stunned, and then laughed softly, seeing that he looked like this, Connie's mood, which had always been indifferent, finally changed a little, and she asked in a slightly angry tone, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Alexander waved his hand and said nothing, and after Connie asked again unpleasantly, he chuckled and said, "I beg your pardon, I just think it's a bit funny and cliché, and sending a woman to my bed can solve a lot of things?" ”

"What do you think of me?" Connieo de Malindao was obviously really angry, and in the moonlight, the edges of her shiny shoulders could be seen swaying up and down slightly, apparently because she was gasping for breath, and her towering chest was also rising and falling as if in a demonstration, which was also angry "Cheap prostitute, do you think I am the prostitute he uses to seduce men?" ”

Alexander didn't say anything but looked up at the woman in front of him, but the faint expression on his face was obvious: "That's right, that's what I thought." ”

Connie O's angry eyes stared at Alexander's eyes, which seemed bright in the night, but he couldn't say anything.

She knew very well that, as Alexander had said, when she came out of that secret door, she was indeed the prostitute that Colombo used to seduce men, as she herself said.

But she had to do it, thinking of the horror of Colombo, the courage she had summoned out of anger disappeared at once, and she bent down towards Alexander, and the pair of heavy mountains on her chest, unbound by clothes, naturally fell with her leaning forward, drawing two perfectly full arcs in the moonlight.

In the moonlight, Alexander could faintly see the expression on her face, compared to the portrait, although Connie de Marindao at this time was more charming, but the look on her face was cold and lifeless, and even when she stepped on the side of the bed with one leg bent, tentatively reaching out to grab Alexander's quilt, the expression on her face was as cold and stiff as marble.

Alexander reached out to stop Connie from lifting his quilt, he waved his hand slightly, then pointed to his own clothes next to the bed and said, "Madam, if you don't want to lose your life because of a cold, you'd better put it on first, and we can have a good talk." ”

Connie O's seductive position of one leg on the ground and one leg kneeling on the edge of the bed paused, and finally silently retreated to silently pick up the clothes that had been put aside and slowly draped them over her body, and then she grabbed the collar corners of the clothes with both hands, and looked down at Alexander slightly.

It's just that even so, her gaze is still cold.

"I think we can have a good talk, or just let Colombo come over and talk," although Connie seemed to be cold, Alexander didn't mean to let her go to bed to keep warm, in fact, he still held the musket in his hand under the quilt, and he kept an eye on the movement of the secret door as he spoke, "I think Colombo has something to talk to me about, but it's a little strange to send you as this messenger." ”

Alexander's mocking words finally made Conio a little breathless, she squeezed the clothes wrapped around her body, and then said in a slightly angry tone: "Don't think of me as that kind of woman, I don't just ...... with anyone"

She fell silent without saying the next words, and then Alexander heard her sigh softly, and then turned his back to him and sat on the edge of the bed.

I just don't know if Connie knows it, but her appearance is actually more charming.

Her plump buttocks, which were slightly wide because she sat down, could not be concealed even when she was covered with clothes, which made her waist appear even more slender, so that it was very doubtful how that waist supported the same full and plump upper body.

"It is true that Khoza asked me to come, and I can't help but come," the woman began to whisper, as if she did not want to alarm the guards outside the door, and there was a hint of fear in her voice, "I know you will look down on me like this, but for me it is necessary, my father was in business, but his fleet was sunk by the Ottomans at sea, and all the cargo of several ships sank in the Mediterranean, and my father's life savings were gone, and he owed a lot of money to others. ”

Speaking of this, Connie buried his face in his hands and shook his head slightly: "I can't forget my father's desperate look, you must know that he used to be so happy and optimistic, and what is worse is that none of his previous business partners were willing to help him, and even took the opportunity to take away all his remaining business. ”

Alexander listened silently, he knew that this kind of fact encountered by the Malindaus family was too common, and after the business failed, they were robbed by their former partners, in fact, most of the merchants who made a fortune did this.

Even Connie's father himself may not have done this, but when it happens to him, no one can accept it.

"I know you may think he's unlucky, but it's a disaster for our family," Connieo continued, looking up slightly at the dark room, "You know, this mine was originally our family's. ”

Alexander was taken by surprise by saying "Oh? The voice of doubt was expressed.

"My father was a man who loved to explore all kinds of new things, and he even had access to some knowledge that was forbidden by the Church," Connie said, with a hint of pride in his tone, "He already owned the mine when others didn't know that stones dug out of the ground could actually burn for heat, and he had the support of the Duke of Milan. ”

Speaking of the Duke of Milan, Connie Paused slightly, and she turned slightly to look at Alexander, who was leaning on the head of the bed and listening to her.

Alexander knew that the Duke of Milan she was talking about was Costanzo Sforza, the father of Lucrezia's husband, Giovanni Sforza.

Throughout the Italian War, although the first to cause controversy was the dominance of Naples, it was Costanzo Sforza of Milan who caused the trigger for this protracted war.

Because of his old feud with Venice, Costanzo Sforza tried to borrow troops from Charles of France to vent his anger.

It's just that he didn't expect Charles VIII to declare suzerainty over Milan immediately after entering Milan.

This decision made Costanzo Sforzali not a human being, and in anger, he simply joined forces with the anti-French Holy Alliance against the French.

However, this duke, who was not only selfish but even a little reckless, was not useless, and in fact the Sforza family really did not have fuel-efficient lamps.

"It wasn't big when my father took over the mine, and the house wasn't what it is now," Connieo continued, "and he expanded the mine and rebuilt it, and for a time he lived here for a long time to tend to his estate," Connieo sighed sadly, "but since the attack on the fleet, he had to sell everything, and eventually even the mine was sold to the Colombo family, but he still owes a lot of money." ”

"So you became Colombo's lover?" Alexander asked softly.

Connie nodded silently, but then shook her head.

"No, I'm not his lover, I'm nothing to him," Connie whispered, "I'm just a tool he uses to curry favor, and even if I don't want to, I have to serve those he thinks are important, but I surprised me by your presence today, because he has never brought anyone here, so I think you must be important to him." ”

Alexander smiled slightly: "I didn't bring it from him, I don't think Colombo even wants to see me here." ”

Connie looked at Alexander in some surprise, as if surprised by his words.

However, she still said in a voice that was full of longing and asking for help: "I don't know what is going on with you, but I can see that Colombo seems to have some scruples about you, and if you can help me, I will repay you." ”

Perhaps because of nervousness, the woman's body was bent very low, so that the pair of mountains on her chest fell overwhelmed, and the peaks as strong as water drops could touch Alexander's exposed chest outside the quilt.

Feeling the slightly cold touch of the two gems, Alexander stared at the eyes not far in front of him, which were unusually bright in the dark night.

"How do you want me to help you?"

Alexander asked slowly, he looked at the woman who was almost attached to him, and when he saw the slight brow raised by the woman in the darkness because of the slight touch on his chest, he smiled in a low voice: "Do you want me to obey Colombo, or do you want me to help you get rid of his grasp?" But I tell you, I can't help you either way, I can't go against the Borgia and listen to him, and I can't help you for no reason. ”

In the darkness, the woman raised her hands slightly, and the clothes draped over her body slid down her smooth shoulders and wrapped around her hips, so that her upper body was completely exposed to the cold air.

Holding Alexander's face in a cold little hand, Connie leaned over and whispered in his ear with an equally cold cheek, "Help me, and I will repay you." ”

"What are you going to use in return, the mine is no longer your family's, and you yourself said that your father still owes a lot of debt, and don't think that I don't know, Colombo has already made it clear that the owner of this mine is actually the Duke of Milan, do you think I will be naïve because of your charm, and desperately compete with the Sforza family?"

Alexander looked at Conneo with a sneer, and he noticed a slight change in the look on the woman's face as he spoke, which made him even more sure of his suspicions.

"Madame, I think you'd better go back to your room, it's good for all of us."

Alexander had decided to put an end to this, and while it was a nice pleasure to have a beautiful woman half-kneeling on top of him, thinking about the trouble this woman might cause, Alexander thought it would be better to provoke her less.

Whether the woman was on her own initiative or at Colombo's behest, it was a big problem, so whatever she asked, Alexander had decided to ignore it.

The woman in the darkness sat naked on the edge of the bed, her fingers trembling slightly, and after a struggle, she leaned over Alexander's ear again, and said, "If I told you that Giovanni Sforza was trying to deal with the Borgia family, would you help me?" ”

"What?" The woman's words made Alexander stunned.

As Lucrezia's husband, Giovanni Sforza did not have a good relationship with his wife's maiden family, and Alexander VI was not happy with the marriage that he had hoped for, as almost all of Rome knew.

However, Alexander knew better than anyone else that Lucrezia's marriage, which had lasted less than three years, was coming to an end, and that it was precisely the Borgia family who sensed that Giovanni Sforza seemed to be secretly colluding with others and preparing to disadvantage their own family.

However, that should have been a year later, but now that the woman in front of him had told him the shocking news, Alexander was indeed a little surprised.

"Do you think I'll trust a woman who casually accuses Borgia relatives?" Alexander gently removed Connie's hand from his face, "I'll keep what you just said secret, but I also hope you don't disturb my rest again, and now you can leave Madame." ”

Connieo de Marindao stared into Alexander's eyes, and when she finally determined that Alexander had indeed given the order to evict him, she slowly stood up, letting the clothes around her waist slip off, exposing herself to the cold air, and disappearing behind the secret door with the sound of a rope footstep.

Alexander looked at where Conneo had disappeared and took out his hidden musket from under the covers.

"It looks like a lot of things have happened on this trip." Alexander whispered to himself, picked up the coat that was on the side of the bed, felt the residual warmth on it, and placed it on the table at the head of the bed along with the musket.

In another room, Connieo de Marindao came out of the dark passage, and little Colombo, who was waiting for her, immediately greeted her, and he draped a very thick robe over Connieo's body, and then asked with a little anxiety: "How is it, did that Gombray say anything?" ”

Connie looked at Colombo, picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip of wine, then shook his head and said, "No, he didn't say anything, that man was very cautious." ”

"So, he's really sent by the Borgias?" Colombo had anger in his eyes, "I knew that Giovanni bastard couldn't do anything, it must have been someone from the Borgia family who found out something to send this man, and he even brought an army." ”

"But it's nothing," said the woman, who had previously looked helpless in front of Alexander, sneering at this time, "What about an army, are there still fewer people who have an army but lose their lives?" ”

Listening to Conneo's words, Colombo's hand holding the wine glass couldn't help but tremble slightly.
