Chapter 146
The duration of the battle is long and short. After Osamu Amami's assassination of Francisco, the battle was not over, and the hope of victory was not biased in favor of the Medici family. Because Francisco's uncle, Jacopo de Pacci, with a group of soldiers, came to the square of the consul hall.
"Freedom! Freely! Freely! Human rights and freedoms! β
"Free!"
The already tired Medici soldiers, in the face of the opponent's sudden increase in troops, have a slim chance of victory, infinitely close to zero.
However, Amami Shu carried Francisco's body and returned to the top of the Palazzo della Signoria. Looking down at Jacob below, he shouted, "Jacob, look at this person." β
When the thief captures the king first, when his own soldiers die, the morale will inevitably drop greatly. Although the Lord's Palace was very high, Amami believed that these people would still be able to see Francisco's body. Especially his uncle Jacob.
Sure enough, Jacob's eyes were about to protrude when he saw Francisco's body. Looking at Francisco's corpse, Jacob seemed to see that he too would be grabbed by the neck by that man and hung in the air, warning the others who resisted.
Jacob suddenly retired, pulled the reins hard, reversed the direction of the horse, and immediately left the square.
The soldiers of the Pache family, who had lost their generals again, had no will to fight at this time, and some of them surrendered, and some of them fled. The battle ended with the victory of the Medici family.
After the war, they seized almost everyone of the Pache family living in Florence and arrested all those in the regime on charges of treason. Took all the money, land, and trade of the Patch family. The Pache family in Florence was completely eradicated, and the Medici family was completely in control of the Florentine regime, and now it is a real family.
But the Medici family also suffered a lot of losses, such as military power. Many of the soldiers trained by the family died in battle, which would take several years to replenish. Like money. Repairs after the battle require a lot of money, which is enough for the Medici family to be busy for a while.
β¦β¦
Three days after the battle, Lorenzo finally took a break from his busy schedule and found Ezio and Amamishu. On the edge of a bridge in Florence, three people talk together.
Lorenzo told a story to Ezio, and Amami, as a bystander, listened attentively.
"When I was six years old, I accidentally fell into the Arno River. After falling into the river, I was swept away by someone, and my eyes became darker and darker, and I felt like I was about to die. But then, my mother's crying woke me up, and I saw a soaking wet man standing next to her, smiling at me. My mother said, "This man saved my life." Thus began a long-lasting friendship between the two families: my family and the Auditore family. β
When it comes to diving, Tianjian Xiu can't help but think of the second master, the man who is "tender like water" and "melts when it meets water".
"Alas~" Lorenzo couldn't help but sigh again, and said with some self-reproach: "I'm sorry that I couldn't save your father at that time." If it weren't for Mr. Xiu, I'm afraid your family would ......"
In the original game, Lorenzo said the same thing. Whether it's a sincere apology, or just to buy people's hearts. It's all in the past, the Auditore family, no one has sacrificed, and that's for the best.
In order to maintain the friendship between the Auditore family and the Medici family, Osamu Amami decided to take on a diplomatic career: "It's all over, and no one in the Auditore family has been sacrificed, isn't it. You don't have to apologize for that. The Patches are planning to frame you, Jacob de Pacche, and he'll pay for it. β
"Unfortunately, that coward ran away and we couldn't catch him." At the mention of this person, Lorenzo's face was also gloomy, and his tone was full of anger.
"Don't have any clues?"
"Nope. They are very hidden. "Jacob left Florence overnight last night, and Lorenzo sent men to look for them, but they didn't get any news.
In addition to the already dead Francisco de Pacci, who escaped, and Jacopo de Pacci, who escaped, the people who plotted the public assassination were Antonio Maffei, Stefano da Babagone, Bernardo Baroncelli, and Francisco Cerviati.
If it weren't for the fact that there were too many soldiers in the battle three days ago, Amami Shu would have jumped down and killed that Jacopo de Pacci, how could he have given him time to escape from Florence.
This is almost the end of the conversation between the people. Before leaving, however, Lorenzo handed Ezio a scroll.
"What is this?" Ezio asked puzzled.
"This is what I found in Francisco de Pacci's documents, apparently he doesn't need it anymore. I've never been interested in ancient history, and neither has your father. β
Amami looked at the scroll from the sidelines, remembering that it seemed to be one of the secret letters AltaΓ―r had left behind. What Lorenzo found from Francisco's house was supposed to be the hollow Hidden Blade, which could hide poison.
After Lorenzo left, Amami Shu took Ezio's hand and asked for the secret letter.
After opening it and looking at it, Tianjian Xiu found that he couldn't understand it. This is also normal, in order to prevent some people from snooping on these things, the second master used some encryption methods. It seems that to decipher the text on the secret letter, you have to rely on Leonardo da Vinci.
"Let's go, follow me to Leonardo da Vinci." Seeing that Xiu had a secret letter and greeted Ezio.
"What are you looking for Da Vinci, what are you looking for him?" Ezio was puzzled. He found out that when Shuichi Amami had something, he went to find that da Vinci.
"The things on this secret letter are very important, but only da Vinci can crack them, so I have to go to him." In fact, this secret letter can also be unraveled by Tianjian Xiu, but it will be very troublesome. After all, there is no such thing as da Vinci's superlative intelligence. Tianjian Xiu can be regarded as a genius, but compared with Da Vinci's IQ, it is really heaven and earth.
"And what is written in this secret letter?" Ezio asked again.
"Weapon blueprints." Tenjian Xiu.
β¦β¦
The two then went to da Vinci's home, but luckily da Vinci was still in Florence at this time and did not leave.
"Yo, you two are back."
Leonardo da Vinci greeted Osamu Amami and Ezio warmly.
"Well, I'll come back and do something, and I'll show you something by the way."
As he spoke, Amami Shu handed the secret letter to da Vinci. Da Vinci took the secret letter and looked at it carefully for a long time, and became interested again.
"This is a secret letter encrypted with ancient characters, and it will take me some time to decipher the contents of it."
"Well, we have time, you take your time."
