The news that Ulliu brought surprised Alexander.

Using Peloto Cadron as a target is more of a desperation than a clue.

The murderer and the mystery behind the scenes had caused Alexander VI to lose his patience.

He needed an outcome that would free the Borgia family from rumors, and one that would be acceptable to all, and that would not only satisfy people's curiosity, but also cover up something that might be much worse than the truth.

So in Alexander's view, this Pelotto Caderon seems to have appeared specifically to solve the problem at hand.

The secret love affair with the mistress, the unconcealed jealousy, and the ruthless murder were enough to satisfy the Romans in this kind of secrecy for a long time.

But Alexander didn't expect anyone to be as interested in Pelotto Cadherón as he was.

"Who is it?" Alexander asked curiously.

The historical Pelotto Caderón was eventually destroyed because of his secret affair with Lucrezia, which is somewhat speculative, but at least shows that this man has an extraordinary relationship with the Borgia family.

Now that he had heard that someone was spying on the Borgia servant, as he was, Alexander wondered if the death of this man in history might not be as simple as one might think.

"I don't know, my lord, but those people are very familiar with Rome, and they are very clever." The Moorish shook his head apologetically, "I've followed that guy to Gilpitz Palace twice, but I had to give up because someone was following him, but it's safe to say that Pelotto Caderón has a close relationship with the Duchess." ”

"Of course, the child's father." Alexander smiled, "Or at least he has an important mission between the Duchess or someone." ”

"Why, sir, don't you think the Duchess's child is Pelotto Cadron's?" Ulius was a little curious: "You know, almost everyone really says it. ”

"Ulliu, know that even if the whole city of Rome says so, the truth of the matter may not necessarily be like that."

Alexander corrected the Moors very seriously.

Of course, he would not have said that the reason why he had doubts about the father of the child in Maria de Luna's womb was entirely because there was another, more subtle reason for the historical rumors about the illegitimate child of Peloto Cadherón and Lucrezia.

It has been speculated that the child was actually Caesar's.

And Pelotto Cadron, purely out of the honor of Caesar and his love for Lucrezia, took the initiative to admit that the child was his responsibility.

Alexander doesn't know what the truth of history is, and if it is, then Pelotto Card is undoubtedly willing to take the plate.

From this imagination, Alexander could not be sure who actually wrote the child now.

"Did the people find you?"

"No, I'm smarter than all of them," Uliu smiled nonchalantly, showing his white teeth, "I can keep an eye on that fellow if I can, I can see that the fellow is anxious about the Duchess's affairs, and maybe he will visit the Duchess again soon." ”

"Then keep an eye on it, and be careful yourself, don't forget that this is Rome."

"Don't worry, sir, the person who can make me suffer is not born yet." The Moorish confidently touched his shiny black chin.

Looking at Ulliu's smug face, Alexander didn't think he was bragging.

The wit of the Moors is as good as the slippery head of the monks, and it is a guarantee that they will be able to mingle in this day and age.

The Rovere family, apparently having some scruples about Alexander's sudden and voluntary offer, did not leave to give a clear answer, but soon sent Barentia to Marino Palace again.

Barondi's reappearance was somewhat different from before, and she seemed a little anxious compared to the calm attitude she had been acting in before, or it seemed that something was preventing her from staying awake as usual.

"50,000 ducats, so what do you want?" Barendi looked at Jisha, who was sitting opposite, "I know that you must have a requirement that requires such a sum of money to be met, and now you can tell your conditions." ”

Jisha frowned secretly, she had a strange feeling, it seemed that Barondi's mood was a little abnormal, or that she seemed to have a vague hostility towards her, which she hadn't done before.

"Our conditions ......"

Jisha wanted to turn her head to look at Alexander, who was sitting next to the two of them, and then quickly forced herself to hold back.

"Maybe she's really discovered something."

She thought to herself, she guessed that maybe Barendi seemed to sense something from the way she and Alexander, but she believed that it was only Barondi's suspicion.

"I want to help your father because he will soon be my brother's father-in-law." Shosha smiled, even though she knew that Barendi would not believe these words, but she didn't care, "As for the return, aside from letting Monk Mashimo into the Carolingian Palace, I hope that the Rovile family will side with us in their attitude towards the Ottomans." ”

"Your side?"

Barendi looked at Alexander, and her words surprised her a little, saying that in her mind, Barendi always regarded Alexander as a member of the Rovelle family, especially after inheriting the title of Count of Montina, Barendi almost forgot that Alexander had other identities.

Now that she heard Josha suddenly say such things, Barendi seemed to realize that her fiancé was not a vassal of the Roverley family.

"What do you want?" Barendi asked cautiously, she knew very well what the figure of 50,000 ducats meant, and the brother and sister in front of them were willing to come up with such a large sum of money, their conditions were by no means so simple.

Something to do with the Ottomans? Barondi looked at Alexander suspiciously, she had always thought she was smart, but now she felt as if she couldn't figure out what the siblings were up to.

"Actually, it's also to help yourselves," said Jossa as she sat down next to Barentia, "If it is thought that Sicily will be the target of the Ottoman attack, do you think the cardinals will choose a diocesan bishop who is likely to fall into the hands of the infidels?" ”

Barondi was surprised, of course she knew that with the arrival of the Ottoman envoy named Ashulk, there were all kinds of rumors about the infidels of the invasion, and this news had once made her suspicious of Alexander's plans, and she did not know how much trouble it would cause to the newly established free trade alliance if war in the Mediterranean really broke out.

She even wondered if she could find a way out for the Rovire family as soon as possible before this kind of trouble turned into an unacceptable loss.

The visit of Ashulk made Barendi feel a little secretly moved, but her natural suspicion of the pagan made Barendi not know how much to trust that person.

In addition, the rumors about the Ottomans made her undecided, and she did not know how much she could trust the infidels.

And now the attitude of the Alexander siblings also surprised Barendi, who did not understand how they seemed to want the situation in the Mediterranean to be stable more than they should have hoped that things would get worse and worse.

"So far, there has only been one Sicilian pope in the Vatican," Zhosa smiled at Barentia, and there are not many Sicilian bishops who can become cardinals, so this is not a good chance for the Bishop Alfonso, and once the Holy See really believes that the pagans may launch a major attack on Sicily, even if it may not be soon, do you think the Vatican would like to see a cardinal's original diocese fall into the hands of the pagans many years later? ”

Barondi was silent, of course she knew that the Vatican definitely didn't want this to happen.

"But once the Vatican has this idea, do you think your free trade alliance can continue? No one will risk their lives to continue to abide by the agreement with you, and your free trade alliance will collapse. ”

"It's ours," Alexander said, "but you can rest assured that if it goes well, the rewards we can get will fully offset the losses you mentioned, and our free trade zone may even become a more powerful business kingdom in the Mediterranean than Venice." ”

Barendi looked at Alexander in amazement, this was the first time she had heard Alexander say such ambitious words, even if she could feel that his free trade zone had extraordinary potential and future, but hearing Alexander admit all this still surprised Barendi.

Is it because I have my sister next to me?

Somehow, this ridiculous thought flashed through Barendi's mind, but soon her mind was drawn to Alexander's plan.

"Let the wind go, just find a way to make everyone think that choosing that Alfonso will embarrass the Vatican in the future, and the Council of Cardinals will ultimately be wise to choose a person who is really suitable to be a cardinal." As he spoke, Alexander looked at Barendi: "Once you become a cardinal, I believe that your father will have the opportunity to challenge the papal throne." ”

Alexander's words made Barente feel an urge to ask him: Aren't you in a hot fight with a pope's daughter?

Then she was a little surprised to find that she was actually jealous.

Who are you jealous of? Lucrezia?

Barendi's slightly emaciated cheeks moved slightly, and then tried to suppress the thought that was very unpleasant to her.

Looking at the back of Barendi leaving, Zhensha, who was standing on the steps with Alexander, suddenly leaned slightly towards Alexander's side, tilted her head to his side, and said:

"Shouldn't you be nice to your fiancée?"

"What did you say?" Alexander asked in surprise.

"I mean, you didn't kiss her when she said goodbye," Shosha wrinkled her pretty brow, the same color as the dazzling blonde hair on her head, "You should be gentle with her, so that she will remember who she is as a fiancée, and not think only about the interests of the Rovie family all day." ”

"Do you mean to let me conquer her heart?" Alexander looked at Josa with interest.

"Or you can directly conquer her," Josa deliberately looked at Alexander without flinching, "isn't that how you conquered Lucrezia?" ”

Alexander looked at him a little dumbfounded, he was about to deny it, but he didn't know how to explain it.

Do you want to explain to your sister that so far she has only kissed and taken advantage of a little bit of money, and that he has not really tasted the little widow until now?

Alexander had the feeling that no matter how he explained it, he would not be satisfied.

And seriously, what exactly is between him and Lucrezia? Alexander himself could not tell.

With the news of his engagement to Duke Billy Shelly, Alexander felt that his relationship with Lucrezia was being tested like never before.

The soft cap on Uliu's head was rubbed to the ground by the man next to him, and then immediately trampled on by several feet and became tattered.

Uliu could only bow his head helplessly, trying not to let Pelotto Cadherón in the distance see him.

It was a small dock on the Tiber River, and it was a mess everywhere, and Ulliu did not dare to get too close to it, but he was afraid that he would lose it.

However, he soon found out that besides himself, there were other people who were also following Peloto Caderon, and those people seemed to be quite numerous, and they could always follow after a while, so that even if they were very close, Peloto Caderon would not easily find out that he was being followed.

But this is cheaper, and he only needs to stare at the back of those people from a distance and not be afraid to follow.

But Uliu, too, did not dare to get too close to those people, and he followed them far behind, watching them keep an eye on Pelotto Cadron.

Pelotto Cadron seemed to be in a hurry to get somewhere, and he walked south along the small pier, and when he came to a somewhat secluded turn, he looked around, then jumped into a shore boat, quickly untied the cable, and the boat quickly rowed towards a small island in the middle of the river.

Ulius vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a monastery and some mausoleums on the small island in the middle of the river called Tiber Island, but there should be nothing else besides that.

However, this made Ulliu even more curious, he didn't know why Pelotto Cadron had gone to such a place, just looking at the stalkers who were standing by the river and didn't know what to do, Ulliu had to hide deeper to avoid being discovered by them.

Because it was a little far away, Uliu couldn't hear what the men were saying.

Just as he looked at the boat that was gradually moving away and was about to leave in disappointment, a dull "bang" sound suddenly sounded from all around!

Uliu's eyes were stunned to see that the few people who were following Pelotto Cadheron were shot one after another with this muffled sound!

Uliu, clutching his mouth tightly lest he make a sound, saw several sturdy figures leap out of the grass on the shore, and these men skillfully examined those who had been struck by the arrows, and when they found that some were not dead, they immediately cut their throats with short knives.

Looking at those people, Ulliu, who had been hiding well out of fear, showed a look of surprise, and because he was a little unsure whether he had guessed correctly, he had to take a few steps forward and hide behind a rock.

Then he heard the men talking to each other in a language that was unusually familiar to him.
