And on this night, Mehmed II raised his hand to wipe the blood from his face, which was not his blood, but the blood of the fifth group of assassins who came to assassinate him. However, he did not have a frightened expression, nor did he get angry, and even laughed: "Poseidon is afraid, and when he really faces life and death, he is finally afraid." ”

"Caliph, these assassins have committed suicide, and we have no evidence that we can identify it as Poseidon instigated." Mehmed II's generals said cautiously, "And judging by the tattoos on their bodies, as well as their blades, they should be killers from the Templar Order." ”

Mehmed II took the silk scarf handed by the maid and wiped away the bloodstains, and smiled at his men: "Evidence? And then what? To accuse Poseidon? No, I don't need anything like that. In fact, if Poseidon hadn't been out of terror, he would have understood that it didn't make much difference whether he sent his own men or asked someone else to do it. ”

Indeed, neither he nor Ding Yi needed any evidence. For the monarchs of a country, as long as they think it is so, confirm that it is so, it is enough to qualify: "However, it is not only Poseidon who can hire killers and send killers. The Ottomans were never short of brave men! ”

So at the behest of Mehmed II, several groups of men and horses rode away from the group.

"Caliph, we have sent elite dead soldiers in Smyrna before, but the results have not been ideal." Someone said so.

But Muhammad II looked at him with disgust: "I probably shouldn't have given you the army, your brain is stupider than that filthy creature." Paris is not Smyrna, if Poseidon uses that terrible artillery in Paris. Well, he will only take the whole of Paris and the nobility of Europe. It's all upset. Got it? When he doesn't use that terrible artillery fire, our warriors. It's a nirvana! ”

However, the Chinese people who were standing beside Mehmed II lowered their heads and whispered: "Caliph, it seems that Ding Rongcheng will not do such a thing. In fact, he overestimated Ding Yi's bottom line, war, everything, Ding Yi's special teams have not been taken back.

If there was a chance to kill Mehmed II, no matter the members of the special squad, Ding Yi, would definitely not let him enter Paris alive. This is war. At least Ding Yi never saw it as a duel between private individuals. For Ding Yi, there is still a state of war between him and the Ottomans, so there is no bottom line at all.

It's just that Mehmed II protected himself very much, and he basically couldn't find a chance to start. Although the Ottomans didn't know about sniper rifles, they did have a way of protecting against sharpshooters; Coupled with the sight of Smyrna's heavy artillery, Mehmed II was also frightened. Because when Ding Yi chased him, he fired a salvo with multiple mortars, and as a result, he could not tell the difference between a mortar salvo and a heavy artillery. He thought that Smyrna's heavy artillery could be carried, so his whereabouts were strange and elusive.

Mehmed II did not deny what the Chinese said: "If this is what you say, then Poseidon is about to die." Muhammad II laughed as he spoke. If it is not instructed by him, and it is not in his character, then it is the work of his subordinates. ”

"He's starting to lose control of his subordinates. Therefore, his subordinates dared to go against his original intentions and privately entrust the Assassins to do such a thing; On the surface. It seems to be loyal, in fact. They are losing faith in Poseidon. The next step they should consider is how to divide the legacy left by Poseidon, the army, the territory, and the influence of politics. In fact, from the moment Poseidon took over Constantine's purple robe, his fate was sealed. ”

Mehmed II had a resolute look on his face: "Tragic fate." ”

"He could have refused this one, a duel that he was not sure of, but he couldn't, he didn't dare to show his weakness in front of his subordinates. Just like the old wolf king, in front of those young male wolves, he maintains the last dignity. ”

Huaxia people listened and thought about it carefully, it is true that in Huaxia's time, there has never been a subordinate of Ding Yi who dared to do such a thing. Including the assassination of Shi Pu, it was only discovered when Ding Yi was far away from overseas, and even behind the scenes, many people thought it was Ding Ruyu's instructions.

So he saluted respectfully, took a step back, and did not speak again.

But Mehmed II suddenly became interested and wanted him to speak: "Why? When you came to me, you said that you wanted to get official positions and wealth from me, which sounds like a very reasonable motive. But in fact, with your skills and forgiveness, I think you can also get what you want from Poseidon. ”

"Give me a reason, Akito."

The Chinese man was silent for a moment, so much so that the faces of the surrounding Mehmed II guards turned angry, and they pressed their hands on the hilt of their swords. Because in the face of the caliph's questioning, such a long silence is in itself a disrespect. But Mehmed II waved his hand and signaled his men not to move.

"Ding Rongcheng is kind to me." The Chinese man spoke, but it was an unexpected sentence, he seemed to be indulging in his memories, and after a while, he shook his head self-deprecatingly, "Yes, he is kind to me." Didn't enter the first division of the Ming Dynasty, I didn't even know a word, in the first division of the Ming Dynasty for seven months and thirteen days, for me, the whole world is different, I saw a new world, I found that people used to say that people who were illiterate were blind, this is reasonable. ”

"But the master was killed, no matter who did it, this account must be counted on Ding Rongcheng's body!" Speaking of this, he gritted his teeth, and even the fist and skull joints turned white, "I have no way to avenge the master, and the young master has no way." He is Ding Rongcheng! The Ming Dynasty's Optimus Jade Pillar, the Golden Beam of the Sea! ”

Muhammad II nodded and asked the Chinese: "Who are you who was killed?" ”

"Master Pu, I am the son of the old man's mansion, and my surname is Shi and Shi Pu, this is my real name." He was not at all ashamed of his status as a slave; Neither Muhammad II nor those around him looked down on him because he was the son of a slave.

Mehmed II asked him: "Can you help me train soldiers like Poseidon's?" ”

"I can't do it." Shi Pu didn't hesitate, "I can help your assassin pretend to be a soldier under Ding Rongcheng, but I don't have the ability to train such a soldier." ”

Muhammad II stroked his thick beard and said to his generals: "Give him two slave girls." Then he said to Shi Pu, "If you just said yes, I would kill you immediately." "Because if Shi Pu could do this, then he wouldn't have to travel thousands of miles here to join Mehmed II.

He traveled overland, through Nepal, Tianzhu, the Timurid Khanate, and other places, and it took several years to reach the Ottomans, and it took nearly two years to get the opportunity to meet Mehmed II. If he could train Ding's men, then he wouldn't have to run like this at all.

"Work hard, I will fulfill your wishes, and killing Poseidon is also what I want to do."

"Yes, Caliph."

Ding Yi, who was in Paris, did not know about the planning and cooperation between Mehmed II and Shi Pu; There was no knowledge of the assassination attempt commissioned by Princess Anna to the Knights Templar. He was busy talking to Pope Pius II's emissary about a business: "It is obvious that there are different voices in the Holy See. ”

The envoy of Pius II was about to argue, but Ding Yi shook his head to stop him, and ordered Cao Jixiang: "Let Margaret go to the afternoon training of the cavalry battalion." Tell her that I only need good hounds, and if a hound can't do his job, it's useless to wag his tail. ”

"Your Majesty xià ......" Cao Jixiang originally wanted to persuade Ding Yi, but according to him, Ding Yi had tens of thousands of tigers under his command, and there was not much more Margaret, and there was no less one less her. How can this also bear the rain and dew, why bother? It's not to raise such a concubine, even if it's inconvenient to give a name, it doesn't take much to raise it in an outer room.

But being swept away by Ding Yi's cold eyes, Cao Jixiang didn't dare to say much, and bowed down and said, "Yes, the old slave will do it." ”

"Tell Tart Machi Ikirata to come." Ding Yi stopped Cao Jixiang and gave another order, before teaching him to run an errand.

Then Ding Yi said to the Pope's envoy: "This is tea from Huaxia, you might as well try it." ”

"It's obvious that the Holy See has different voices."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have just canonized me as a saint by the Second of Shelter, and a cardinal would come out to make a move."

"If you go back and tell Pius II that if he wants to form an anti-Austrian alliance, it is best to clean up the inside of the Holy See first."

"If he can't solve the problems within the Holy See, then he will have to have a mass base to empty these middle-level clergy who do not agree with his actions. No, I don't need you to understand, what I need is for you to memorize these words and convey them to the Pope without missing a word. ”

The messenger put down the teacup he had just picked up, and said with a bitter face, "Yes, Your Highness." ”

"If he can't integrate the Holy See, then I can provide a way for him to gain the support of the lower believers in a short time; However, there is a disadvantage to this method, that is, once he is favored by the Lord, there may be many believers who will be on my side. ”

Ding Yi took out a text jiàn clip with a sign of a snake wrapped around the cross: "Open hospitals, monasteries in every big city." The funds were drawn mainly from the monastery's money for the relief of the poor. ”

"Religious believers don't need secular doctors." The messenger replied, almost subconsciously, that in Europe, phlebotomy was the ultimate medical treatment. For hundreds of years, Washington, the United States, has let bloodletting therapy to kill. Not to mention the current era. So it's really not something that can't be fated to refuse a doctor these days - who doesn't feel bad when they are sick and bleeding?

"I'm not asking for your opinion, sir." Ding laughed and repeated to the messenger, "Just relay my words to Pius II." (To be continued......)
