Chapter 992: Why Tell You

Pascal II watched Maurice enter the room with Zhao Jia and Kondla, and then the three of them chatted for a long time inside, during which Pascal II was calm and calm, but his heart was turbulent, because he knew what kind of person Maurice was, and the other party took the initiative to contact Zhao Jia at this time, even if he guessed with his toes, he could guess what the other party wanted to do, and it was precisely because of this that Pascal II was even more worried.

However, Pascal II has now become a prisoner, so it is useless to worry at this time, and in the end, it was not until it was almost time to eat dinner that he saw Zhao Jia and the three of them coming out of it, which made Pascal II immediately open his eyes and carefully observe the expressions on the faces of the three, hoping that he could see something on their faces.

I saw Zhao Jia, who was the first to come out, was full of smiles, and seemed to be very satisfied with this meeting with Maurice, while Condra behind him had a complicated expression, especially when he came out, he also deliberately glanced at Pascal II's side, and there seemed to be a bit of schadenfreude in his eyes, as for the last Maurice lowered his head, and occasionally looked up at Pascal II's side, he also hurriedly turned his gaze away, which also made Pascal II's heart sink, and he could feel it without asking him, Zhao Jia and Morris must have reached some agreement, and it must be very unfavorable to their Holy See.

"Okay, Bishop Maurice, you don't have to live here anymore, I will have someone arrange a better place for you to live, and I also hope that you can abide by the agreement between us and do what you promised me as soon as possible!" Zhao Jia walked into the courtyard at this time, and then turned around and said as if he was a little careless.

"Wang ...... Your Royal Highness the Prince, rest assured, Maurice is your faithful servant, and what he promised you will do his best to do it for you! Morris's whole body trembled when he heard this, and his voice trembled at the moment, although it was only a simple sentence. But it had already made him sweat profusely, and he seemed to be very nervous.

"Hehe, that's good!" Zhao Jia still said with a smile on his face, he had proposed three to Morris who wanted to be the Pope, each of which could bring the Holy See into a place of no return, although Morris knew this very clearly. But in the end, he agreed, because it was still the same old saying, he no longer had any bargaining chips to negotiate with Zhao Jia, so no matter what Zhao Jia asked him to do, he was powerless to resist, even if he was a nominal pope, it was much stronger than his current situation.

"Good!" Zhao Jia praised him when he heard this, then turned his head to look at Condra and said, "Big brother." Agnes has sent for your family, and now you are staying in the city, and I will send someone to pick you up in the evening, and you will be reunited with your family then, but then you will probably have to leave Rome!" ”

Condra was very calm from the time he saw Zhao Jia, and even when he heard the three conditions proposed by Zhao Jia before, he didn't react much, after all, these things had nothing to do with him. However, when he heard that his family had also been taken to Rome, and that he and his family were about to be sent out of Rome. But he couldn't help but be shocked all over, and asked eagerly: "Where is Agnes going to send us?" Is it to be exiled to some desert island? ”

Ever since Condra was imprisoned, he had been thinking about his fate, and with what he knew about Agnes, he was sure that the other party would not kill him as a big brother. But Agnes certainly wouldn't forgive him, so the best thing for Agnes was to exile him, and when many Roman emperors were usurped, they were exiled to die of starvation on a small island in the Mediterranean. So he thinks his fate is sure to be the same.

However, Zhao Jia shook his head when he heard Kondla's words and said: "Agnes doesn't want to send you to live on a desert island, after all, you still have children, and as an aunt, Agnes will not let her nephews and nieces live on a desert island for the rest of her life, so she has other arrangements for you, but you are going to a far away place this time, and you must also be prepared." ”

After Zhao Jia finished speaking, he turned around and left with Morris, leaving Condra standing alone in the courtyard, and he seemed to hear something from Zhao Jia's words, which also made him stunned for a long time before he suddenly sighed, and then found a place to sit down slowly, thinking about his thoughts with half-closed eyes.

But at this moment, Pascal II suddenly stood up, only to see him stride up to Condra and ask: "Condra, what agreement did the Great Song Prince and Maurice reach just now, are these Song people going to do something to our Holy See?" ”

Hearing Pascal II's question, he saw Condra raise his head and look at him at this time, and then suddenly smiled and said, "Your Excellency Priest, you want to know about the agreement between His Royal Highness the Prince and Maurice, why didn't you ask them directly just now?" ”

"You ......" Seeing that Condra not only did not answer his own question, but also made sarcastic remarks, which made Pascal II a little speechless, but he then said a little angrily, "Condra, I have supported you with all my strength over the years, if it weren't for me, I'm afraid you would have been wiped out by Little Henry a long time ago, so in my heart, I also have a lot of kindness to you, and now even if it's just for the sake of these kindnesses, you should tell me about the deal between Morris and Da Song!" ”

However, as soon as Pascal II's words fell, he saw Condra smile sarcastically: "Dear Priest, I wonder if you are really too old to forget something, I could have been a filial son back then, even if my father didn't want to pass on the throne to me, but at least he would have made me king, but it was under your bewitchment that I slowly became ambitious, and I became more and more dissatisfied with my father, and finally directly rebelled, but after the rebellion, the conditions you promised me were only partially fulfilledAnd after that, if I want to get more support from you, I have to come to you in a low voice and beg, and you seem to be very willing to see me begging for you, all these things I have in mind! ”

Hearing these words of Condra, Pascal II was also a little speechless for a while, because what Condra said was all the truth, so that he could not refute it for a while. And Condra saw that Pascal II did not speak, but at this time he sneered again and said: "Your Excellency Priest, if I were you, I would first worry about my future fate, instead of worrying about any Holy See, although my brother-in-law is from the distant Great Song Dynasty, he is more shrewd than anyone else, and your little caution cannot be hidden from him, so you don't waste any more time!" ”

After Condra finished speaking, he closed his eyes and stopped talking, but Pascal II was irritated by his words and said: "Condra, you nobles only look out for yourself when disaster strikes, but our people in the Holy See think of the interests of the Holy See first, which is the fundamental reason why our Holy See can survive forever, while your dynasty changes every once in a while!" ”

Hearing Pascal II say the words "the Holy See can live forever", Condra couldn't help laughing, and then saw him open his eyes again, looked at Pascal II with a smile, and then said slowly: "Nothing in this world can exist forever, and the same is true for the Holy See, when the Song people really rule this land, the power of your Holy See will also disappear, and the whole of Europe will become a different scene!" ”

"What the hell do you know, tell me!" When Pascal II heard Condra's statement that the power of the Holy See would also disappear, he immediately asked anxiously, he knew what Condra must know, but he refused to tell him, which made him lose his temper for a while.

"Hey, why should I tell you?" At this time, Condra glanced at Pascal II and chuckled, "You have to figure out who we are now, I am a prisoner, you are also a prisoner, and I don't have to whisper everywhere to beg you to do anything!" ”

"You ......" Pascal II was angry and wanted to vomit blood when he heard this, but at this time, the quarrel on their side finally alarmed the guards in the courtyard, and someone immediately stepped forward to separate them, and Pascal II couldn't ask anymore if he wanted to.

That night, Zhao Jia really sent someone to take Kondra away, which completely cut off Pascal II's attempt to inquire about Zhao Jia's deal with Maurice. After Condela left the place of captivity, he was soon taken to a nobleman's mansion, where he met his wife and children, and Agnes was also here, but when he saw Condra, Agnes still couldn't forgive him, so he left without saying a few words, which made Condela a little helpless.

A few days later, another large fleet came to Rome, this fleet is Zhao Jia's supply fleet, except for a few necessary ships, the others are all kinds of supply ships, the most of which is some weapons, and a small number of merchant ships, these merchant ships are well-informed merchants in the Great Song Dynasty After hearing the news, they followed the supply fleet to Europe together, and the merchant ships carried their own goods, not many but very complete, they mainly used these commodities to test the water, See which goods are the most popular, and then send the news back, and the next time a fleet arrives, I'm afraid it'll be a large number of merchant ships.

Zhao Jia also attached great importance to the arrival of the supply fleet, not only because the fleet sent all kinds of materials he urgently needed, but also because there were some important people in the fleet, so when he heard that these people were coming, he immediately ran to the port of Civitavecchia to greet him.
