If we now have a map of all of Italy, we can clearly see that from Florence to the left, there are Lucca, Pisa, Livorno and Caesar. Piombino, occupied by Borgia; Below Florence are Siena, Arezzo, Perugia and Viterbo, and below Viterbo is Rome, and the lords of Viterbo have submitted to Borgia, Siena belongs to the Picomini family, and for the time being, it is not something that Borgia's hand can touch. Lucca and Pisa are free cities, but they are more Frentine, while Livorno and Arezzo are the territories of Florence.

Caesar. Borgia certainly did not forget the disgrace that Florence had given him, but it was precisely because of that defeat that he was much more careful, perhaps having tasted the benefits of the conspiracy from the battle of the Duchy of Urbino, and he began to plot against Florence - he set his sights on Arezzo.

The people of Arezzo make almost all their living from the making and trading of jewelry, and the territory is not unusually large, but it is unusually rich. And it was not very far from Piombino, which had already been occupied by him, and even closer to Siena, Caesar. Borgia felt that if he could get here, he could threaten and attack both Florence and Siena with Piombino, so when all eyes were focused on the fall of Urbino and his dual front in Naples and Camerino, his emissary, Borgia's royal assassin, Miguel. Corero appeared in Arezzo.

He disguised himself as a mercenary, and Leonardo. Leonardo da Vinci was his master and they walked the streets of Arezzo, Leonardo. While Leonardo da Vinci lingered on the Roman doorways, corridors, grounds, and so on, Miguel was looking at everyone who passed by him with his eagle-sharp eyes, and unlike the rest of Italy, the people of Arezzo were perhaps extraordinarily dazzling and luxurious because of their profession, and even the most humble people had gold pins on their hats and silver buttons on their coats, and their faces showed no trace of trepidation or uneasiness, and their eyes were full of abundance and happiness.

They sat down in the taverns of the streets, drank wine, and listened to the conversation of the Arezzos, except for the comparisons and boasts, of which he said that he had made the bishop a golden cross the size of a palm, adorned with pearls; The one who said that he had made a reliquary for the duke, inlaid with an enamel portrait; It is even said that they made a silver plate for the Perugia people that could only be held with open hands, on which were engraved the glorious achievements of the Duke of Romagna, in order to flatter Caesar. What Borgia did.

At this point, there were accusations that they should not work for such a tyrant. The man who made the silver platter retorted, saying that only sheep were afraid of lions, and that hyenas and jackals were not afraid of lions, but could get meat from their mouths, and he swore triumphantly that if the Duke of Romagna had taken a fancy to his craft, he would have been willing to serve him, not only the goldsmith's work, but even the soldier's work, and perhaps he would be able to become the ruler of a city like the mercenaries under the duke's command.

Some people laughed at the guy, but there were also people who supported him, and people began to discuss Borgia's generosity, about a third of them thought that although he was brutal, he was also a man who did great things, but the other third, insisted that his cruelty was unpopular and that sooner or later he would be on the road to destruction, and a third of them, thinking that it had nothing to do with them, that they were just goldsmiths, not soldiers, if Caesar. Borgia came, then they paid taxes to Borgia, just as they paid taxes to Florence now, the same is workmanship, does it matter who the owner is?

Leonardo. Leonardo da Vinci listened calmly, and only those who knew him well could catch a trace of sadness in his eyes, and he had been killed by Caesar in early June because of his talent and merit in artillery and war equipment, and in fortifications. Borgia became his architectural consultant and chief engineer, but such an honor did not make Leonardo da Vinci happy, and like Michelangelo, who was beside Caesar, he was deeply disgusted with Borgia's contempt and cruelty to the people, his rebellion against his allies, and his despicable inferiority to his enemies - of course he wanted to leave Borgia, but just like Giulio. What the Medici said, Caesar. Borgia was not a tolerant man, and if he deliberately refused, it would never have ended better or worse than that of Imola or any of the people on the streets of Forlì, and he had seen through it during his time with Caesar, Caesar. Although Borgia can be smiling, humble and gentle on the people he values on the surface, once you are useless or even cause obstacles, he will not hesitate at all when he gets rid of you.

Anyone else doesn't care, just say Lucrecia. Borgia, the sister of Caesar's treasure, who had crossed the Apennines when she encountered such a terrible thing, Caesar, who was fighting in Naples at the time, did not one day relinquish his position as commander, or the thrill of a cruel and bloody battle—if this could be blamed, then, when he knew about it, Leonardo could not find a second explanation for him—the first thing that came to his mind, It was not his sister's life and death and suffering, but the fact that he had captured the Duke of Urbino, and could use it as a reason to march into Urbino.

But as a craftsman who was kept in love (Leonardo didn't think too highly of himself), Leonardo had no right to say anything on the matter, he was always silent, withdrawn, and unexpected, which won Caesar's attention. Borgia's appreciation, which he gave Leonardo the power and task of making him tour his realm, from Romagna to Tuscany, measuring and mapping every castle and fortress in his domain, or anything else he wanted to observe and measure—it could almost be said that he was asking Leonardo. Leonardo da Vinci went to be a spy, and it is also possible that after he got Michelangelo, his demand for Leonardo da Vinci's sculpture and painting was no longer so strong.

And, of course, in the end, Leonardo. Leonardo da Vinci was just a mask to disguise, and the real spy was Miguel. Corero, but his scar across his face, his strong figure, and his skillful skill, make people wary of him at the sight of him, but if he was only working as a guard for a wealthy painter and sculptor, it would be nothing at all.

They stayed in an inn near the Plaza de Arezzo, and after dinner, Miguel claimed that he was going to have fun in the surrounding alleys, and asked Leonardo if he wanted to go with him, but Leonardo refused after many days of travel and was tired, and Miguel grinned and left on his own.

Leonardo measured the speed of Miguel's walk and the distance from the inn to the square, closed the door, quickly bent under the windowsill, pulled the brass piccolo from his bag, unscrewed it, and assembled it again, turning it into a monster that looked like a "U" shaped with its head twisted, and he carefully extended one end of the tube out of the window, and the other end against your eyes, and you kept adjusting the angle until you saw the Assassin walking slowly on the edge of the main square.

There's a rather peculiar thing about Arezzo's Grand Square, that is, it's sloping, their hotel is located below the Grand Square, and Miguel walks in the direction above, and it's not the day of the open market, and there aren't many people in the square, so Leonardo was able to capture Miguel very easily—his shadow stretched long in the final rays, and Leonardo kept holding his body up, changing angles, hoping that he could see more—just as Miguel was about to step out of his field of vision, Two men in short coats and cloaks came out of the darkness to greet him.

Leonardo struggled to see the family coat of arms on his cloak first, but at that moment, Miguel. Coriero turned his head suddenly, and Leonardo jerked back his strange piccolo, and the whole person shrank back under the ledge, even though he knew that Miguel might not be able to see the small metal opening on the ledge, but he couldn't help but gasp, his heart beating faster and faster—so fast that it made him a little delirious.

"What's wrong? My lord. The man who came to greet Miguel asked.

"Nothing." Miguel said that he saw a metallic flash from the window of his and Leonardo's room, and that as an Assassin, he could not have been more sensitive to this.

He held up a finger, "Can I ask you for something?" He asked.

"Of course, sir." Someone said.

"Help me...... Watch my companion, and if possible, don't let him leave the inn, and ...... "Miguel said," said Miguel, "and see what anyone will come into contact with." ”
