The sudden appearance of two people made Caesar realize that he might have been fooled.

Standing in front of the window on the second floor, you can see the strange scene on the street.

The three parties stood on the same street, everyone seemed to be looking at others, but there were also many people who looked at the small building in Olgala.

After arriving at Orgala's house, Alexander asked Orgala to send someone to inform Gonzalo and Kotschach, the two emperors of Rome who were now in Rome.

After leaving the Vatican, he did not return to the Marino Palace, let alone rush back to his territory as Lucrezia said, but came to the eastern city of Rome, knowing that it was not under the jurisdiction of the Borgia father and son.

The people outside were still facing each other, Gonzalo's team was almost in front of Caesar's team, and the soldiers on both sides could clearly see each other's noses and eyes, and even see even a stain on the other's face that had not been washed.

The soft clash of weapons can be heard, and even the dull creak of someone pulling the bowstring can be faintly heard closer.

At this distance, if someone shoots an arrow, no one believes that it will miss, and no one believes that it will be spared.

"Why are we staring at people here like this, let alone men," Gonzalo said suddenly, he looked at Caesar and laughed, "If you want, we can go to Lady Olgara's house together for a meeting, but I don't know if your status is suitable now." ”

"It's a shame that I've left the priesthood, but my faith in God hasn't changed in the slightest." Caesar nodded in response, he saw Gonzalo about to speak again, so he suddenly looked back at Kotschach on the other side, "Lord Gongxiang, I didn't expect you to be so interested in beauties, but I'm strange, do you bring so many people out to have fun every time?" ”

The minister looked at Caesar with interest, he didn't know much about the young Borgia, but from the day he had the courage to renounce the priesthood, Kotschach had taken note of him.

And Giovanni's death surprised Kotschach and gave him a new understanding of Caesar, because regardless of whether Giovanni's death was related to Caesar or not, from now on, this person is already the most notable person in the Borgia family besides Alexander VI.

Kotschach was well aware that Emperor Maximian had always cared about Alexander VI's ambitions, or that any move from the Vatican would be enough to arouse the Emperor's vigilance.

Gong Xiang looked up slightly at Alexander who was standing in front of the window and looking at him below, and suddenly he had an illusion, as if it was a hunt that was often dangerous, everyone was a hunter and a prey, and only Alexander, who was standing upstairs, seemed to be just that hunter.

"Rome is not a peaceful city, so we can feel safe," Kotschach slowly walked up to Caesar, he nodded at Caesar with his finger and smiled and said, "You know, I also thought that I was the bravest when you were so young, and it was not until after a few lessons that I realized that I was no different from others, especially in a place like Rome, and it is even more important to protect ourselves, after all, your brother Giovanni has just taught us with his life what it means to be cautious." ”

Caesar's cheeks trembled slightly, and he was both angry and unusually surprised, and he did not understand why the court minister would ridicule him so much, and even use Giovanni to imply something.

Everyone knows that Emperor Maximian is trying to use marriage after marriage to push his power to all corners of the European continent, he has his son marry Queen Isabella and Ferdinand's daughter Juana, and through various means to make his daughter the legitimate heir of the current Low Countries, which means that even if the handsome Philip and Juana, who are the governors of the Low Provinces in the future, do not leave an heir, the power of the Low Countries will not fall into the hands of other families.

It would be too troublesome for such a man who was entrapping all of Europe with his intertwined connections if he chose to be an enemy of the Borgias.

Caesar thought of so many things at this moment that he felt compelled to tell his father all this at once, and as for Cambrai, who was watching a good show upstairs, he had become insignificant at this moment,

He looked up at Alexander, who was smiling and looking at him, and then his eyes fell on the face of Lucrezia, who was snuggled into Alexander's arms.

Looking at each other, Caesar noticed a visibly uneasy look on Lucrezia's face, which made his mood worse.

He assured Lucrezia that she had never been afraid of him, that she had always liked to be with him, even after she had been married, she had always preferred to be with him rather than the so-called husband, but now she was afraid of him, and when he looked at her, she even subconsciously squeezed into the arms of the man next to her.

Caesar slowly raised his armor-piercing sword, the tapered triangular tip pointed at Alexander, and in a silent gaze, Caesar stretched out his other hand and made a throat-slitting motion in front of his neck.

Lucrezia had a frightened look on her face, she knew her brother too well, Caesar's appearance let her know that he was really angry and even murderous, she grabbed Alexander, trying to pull him away from the window, as if this would prevent something terrible from happening, but her body was tightly held by Alexander, and she couldn't move at all.

Then her head was lifted slightly forced, and hot lips fell on hers.

Alexander actually kissed her in front of Caesar, which caused Lucrezia to feel an indescribable strange feeling.

Caesar lowered his head slowly, he felt that if he looked at this scene again, he completely lost his cool, this was not the result he wanted.

He didn't know if the two people next to him would really intercept him if he wanted to forcibly attack Xiaolou, and even clashed with him, but he didn't want to take this risk.

This is not what a Borgia should do, and rash actions at this time will only make things worse.

Caesar put his sword away, and he bowed slightly to the two men in front of him, even in front of Gonzalo, he smiled insincerely, and then he glanced at the two people upstairs again, turned and walked through his own procession, and walked the way he came.

Looking at Caesar's back, Lucrezia let out a gasp of relief or uneasiness, and then she suddenly raised her arms and grabbed Alexander's neck.

An equally deep kiss landed on Alexander's lips.

Looking at the two people who were entangled, Uliu next to him also secretly took a breath.

At this time, he couldn't help but think of the command of the countess before he came: "If necessary, kidnap Lucrezia and threaten Caesar, I don't care if that woman loves Alexander, I just want my brother to be safe." ”

There was a noise of footsteps downstairs, and Alexander motioned to Ulliu for him to take care of Lucrezia, and then hurried downstairs.

Seeing the two rescuers already standing in the foyer, Alexander immediately walked up.

"Welcome, my friends, if I was skeptical about whether I was lucky before, now I am proud to know you."

"Or you should tell us if the things you promised us when you sent someone over before are true, and I prefer to hear that." Gonzalo waved his hand, "I remember you said that maybe there could be a deal that would interest us all." ”

"Yes, I'm also interested in the deal you mentioned, and the Kotschach family does have a high status, but when it comes to wealth, I have to express regret." Gong Xiang's eyes were also shining.

Alexander smiled.

Friends or enemies are never as close and hostile as interests, and even Caesar may become close "good friends" with him in the face of interests.

He was able to move these two men to help him, not only because he knew that they were both very interested in fighting the Borgia family, but also because of the benefits he had promised.

And he also needs someone who can share the risks in the plan with him.

What could be more fitting than an imperial minister and a general of Aragon.

But before that, Alexander needed to be careful, he knew how shocking and tempting his plan was, and he didn't want everything he had put up so hard to end up cheapening someone else.

What's more, if the cheap ones are still two of their future enemies, it will be too unacceptable.

Although Kotzchach did not know it yet, Gonzalo was likely to become one of his biggest rivals in life one day, and it was doomed from the moment he accepted the name Giorre Modiglo.

After all, as a loyal servant of Queen Isabella, Gonzalo de Córdoba had worked and eaten under his hapless titular father, Enrique.

In short, people are so beautiful now, it is completely the discerning eye of Queen Isabella of Castile, and it has nothing to do with his cheap daddy.

As for Kotschakh, Alexander could not think of any reason for the palace minister around the emperor to support him, and not the emperor's own family.

There may have been all sorts of contradictions and sordid things between the Empire and Aragon or Castile, but in terms of personal interests, at least none of these people and Alexander himself had anything worth changing their attitude towards for that benefit.

Unless, it can change the status quo.

With his mind racing, Alexander raised his hand and motioned for the two men to come with him.

"I know you're curious about what makes me confident that you can help me," Alexander said, looking at the two men with bright eyes, "First of all, I will say that this is a business, and this business can make each of us rich, but it is only a small part of this business, if not the most insignificant part of it. ”

"I'll admit you're very appetizing, and your words make me curious." Gonzalo licked his lips slightly, then looked at Kotschach next to him, he obviously didn't take Alexander's words very seriously, "So tell me what is going on with this little business of yours, maybe I can consider getting involved." ”

Unlike Gonzalo, the palace minister seemed to be interested in Alexander's words, and he nodded slightly to signal Alexander to continue, while his gaze casually swept over the corner of the staircase.

He noticed a figure scurrying by, and if he hadn't guessed it was the princess of the Borgia family.

"It's a business that will make us all a fortune," Alexander said, putting his hands together and parting as he made a gesture to open something, "I think people must be interested in spices, and I'm talking about lavender spices, things that cover people's scents." ”

"Is it lavender, or those herb purees," Gonzalo pouted slightly, "We all know that stuff is actually useless, you know that there aren't many men like you, I wonder how you can take the trouble to bathe every day, and I heard that it is still with piping hot water." ”

"It's not piping hot water," Alexander said helplessly, looking at Gonzalo, "I'm just keeping the basics clean." ”

"That's what I'm going to say," Gonzalo leaned forward and propped his elbows on his thick thighs, "do you know what your problem is, you know?" Your problem is that you always don't fit in with everyone. No one has ever seen you have an affair with a prostitute, and even if you have hid here, it is because you fled with the Borgia woman. Also, you have to take a shower every day, and these are the things that make a lot of people uncomfortable because you make them feel that you are different from them. Like your present business, do you think that we should do the kind of spices that only small merchants do you say, I think you would be richer if you invented an effective weapon than what you made of lavender spices. ”

Gonzalo finished speaking and looked at Kotschach, as if waiting for him to continue.

The palace minister noticed Gonzalo's gaze, he groaned slightly as if he was thinking about what to say, and then he spoke: "Earl, if you offer a business that will allow us to get those spices like pepper, I think it will be more exciting, you know that people have had enough of the fishy smell of mutton, pepper not only eliminates those tastes, but also allows precious meat to be preserved for a longer time, but you said that spice doesn't seem to be of much use to everyone, so ......"

"So?" Alexander looked at the palace minister.

"So, I think we're more interested in how accurate your information is, and if you can provide us with more reliable information, since you were able to foresee the war between Poland and Moldova so accurately."

Looking at the meaningful expression of the palace minister, Alexander's eyes couldn't help but glance at Gonzalo next to him.

Apparently, what the two men were really interested in was his sources, presumably in their minds that he had some unusual connection with the Bosnian court in Prague.

Or?!

Alexander's heart suddenly moved, and they, like the Ottoman Ashulk, had heard rumors about Roman princesses from the east?

Alexander pondered quickly, but he was not borrowing the power of these two men this time for the sake of the rumor that sounded like it was full of loopholes, or simply nonsense.

There may be a lot of ordinary people who want to believe such rumors, but Alexander doesn't think that people like Kotschach would believe it.

Or rather, they simply don't want to believe it.

"My lords, do you think I'm going to lie to you," Alexander smiled and stood up, "I know you may think I'm going to show you some rough stuff on the market, so you're not interested, but I'm sure you'll see the difference when you actually see it." ”

Alexander looked back at Ulliu, who was standing quietly aside.

Ulliu immediately carefully took out a translucent bottle from the small leather bag he was hanging with him.

"You know I'm from Naples, but I don't think you know what my territory of Agri looks like, and I don't know that in my territory, apart from the vast expanse of crops and the mountains full of wildflowers, the plain of Agri is arguably one of the most beautiful places in the south."

As he spoke, Alexander took the bottle from Ulliu's hand and held it up to the two men.

"There are countless raw materials there that allow me to make spices that have never been made before in this world in the latest way, enough to make every woman pay the last coin in her pocket for it."

Alexander gently pulled out the cork of the bottle, and as an unusual aroma wafted out of the bottle, he couldn't help but look surprised when he saw the two men in front of him.

And as the bottle in Alexander's hand tilted slightly, the two of them unexpectedly saw a faintly visible shaking from the translucent bottle, a pale red liquid slowly flowed out.

"What is this?" Kotschach looked at the drops of liquid that had fallen on Alexander's hand in surprise and looked like ordinary water, but had an unusual aroma.

"This is the kind of spice I spoke of before, something that gives off a fragrance as long as it is applied directly to the body," Alexander looked at Gonzalo, who was stunned, "I think you must have heard before, that my territory in Naples is taken care of for me by my sister, Countess Chessa Cosenza, and even our Chamber of Commerce is run by her, you must wonder why I can trust my half-sister so much, and now I can tell you, None of the things you know are really the most important, and when I left my territory, I told my sister all about the method of making this perfume, and she sent her most trusted people to stay in my territory to make it. That's the biggest trust I have in her. ”

"You think this thing will make money?" Gonzalo looked suspiciously at the bottle in Alexander's hand, then suddenly reached out and took it, poured it into his hand without thinking, put it under his nose and smelled it.

"It smells weird, but it does smell good, and it can't be compared to the mud and powder," Gonzalo said, frowning, "but I don't believe you say it makes a lot of money." ”

Alexander just smiled at Gonzalo's suspicions, he knew that whatever he said at this time was actually superfluous.

And the reason why the perfume was brought into the city of Rome by Shosha after it was made, but Alexander never let this thing appear, just waiting for an appropriate time.

Agri had plenty of farmland to make fine wine, and endless wilderness and flowers to provide him with an innumerable supply of pollen raw materials, which were enough to provide him with the greatest convenience.

And the most important thing is that in this era and for a long time to come, whether it is food or use, Europeans are obsessed with spices that have never been seen in any era.

Looking at Gonzalo and Kotschach, who were still suspicious, Alexander slowly straightened up.

"My lords, I can guarantee that this thing called perfume will bring us a lot of profit, but as I said earlier, it is only a small part of our business, and what will really make us the master of wealth is the real big business that I am going to offer you below," he smiled at Kotschakh, "Lord Gong, this includes the news you just mentioned about me that interests you. ”
