In this world, there are always many people who think highly of themselves and see themselves as extremely important, and Fabrizio is such a person.

In his mind, the Medici family was a mature political family. The main thing in dealing with such groups is to see who can bring more benefits to them. What could be more important to them at this stage than the papal throne?

He was right, but unfortunately he misestimated Xu Zhonglin's strength.

Putting aside the good personal friendship between Xu Zhonglin and Cato, not to mention the construction of the Sagrada Familia, the drawings of the Soviet-class battleships that had been promised but not yet taken out were enough for the Medici family to help Xu Zhonglin hammer him into the ground.

Cato stood up and stared at Fabrizio condescendingly: "I see, you can get out." Go back and tell your uncle that you should consider the choice of bishop of Genoa, that it is time for him to retire. ”

Fabrizio was like a duck caught by the neck, his eyes bulged out, his mouth grew long, and after a while he stammered, "Master Cato, this is ...... Who does this mean? ”

"This is what I, my father and mother, our family of Miroda and the Medici family have in common."

"Master Cato, you can't do this! My uncle and I are supportive of Bishop Giovanni! ”

Cato smiled charmingly, "Oh, thank you so much, you can go." And you, you are no longer needed here. ”

Fabrizio left Scapa Harbor with his allies, and in the end he didn't understand why Cato would reject his friendship. This mission was for the big ship of Lisa and the Medici family. In his mind, the benefits of a down-and-out aristocratic lady and an Oriental boy were nothing to the papal throne, and the Medici family would acquiesce to such a trivial matter.

It's a pity that now the general trend has gone, not only is the road to marrying Bai Fumei and walking to the pinnacle of life blocked, but also his uncle. The secular religion of this world is not very strong, and the power of the bishop of a small city-state is limited, otherwise he would not have bothered so much effort to marry a noble lady. Since the Medici family has spoken for their uncle to retire, they will definitely be able to do it.

It's really a loss for his wife and a soldier.

After Fabrizio left, Xu Zhonglin said to Cato: "You shouldn't have threatened him just now. ”

"What are you worried about?"

"Once this kind of person loses hope, it is easy to take risks. I'm afraid that he will be unfavorable to us next, this guy has no restrictions in China, and I am worried that he will go to extremes. ”

"That's right, it's better to be a little guarded. Sorry, it was so thrilling just now, I couldn't control my emotions. ”

"I'm sorry, I caused it."

Lisa couldn't control her emotions anymore and ran out covering her face. Lilisa gave Xu Zhonglin a windbreaker: "It's cold outside, you go and comfort her." ”

The nights of early March were dark, cold and windy. Lisa sat alone on the dock by the sea, her hair blowing in the wind, and her back looked a little lonely.

Xu Zhonglin put a windbreaker on her and sat next to her: "Brother, what's wrong?" To be honest, I was confused about this situation tonight, it felt like I was acting in a stage play, and the princess was forced to marry by a country landowner, and I was a knight, and I beat away the bad guys. How did you meet that guy? ”

"Poof!" Lisa laughed, then her eyes darkened, "It's my mother." Her hometown is Genoa, and I accompanied her back to relax and met Fabrizio. Although his family was not a family, Fabrizio had been powerful in Genoa since he became admiral and his uncle became bishop. My mother always wanted to restore the glory of the family during my father's lifetime. I was moved by Fabrizio's uncle and thought that marriage was a good choice. As you can see, the people who were following Fabrizio just now were all from his small group, all of whom were from civilian backgrounds, and they were completely co-opted by him. When he went back this time, the Admiralty promised a town guard's house, which made him feel that he had the capital. ”

"It's a pity, this is obviously not your thing."

"Yes, little girl, who doesn't have their own dreams? I still want to marry someone I love, it doesn't matter where I come from, this person must at least be an upright hero. ”

The down-and-out aristocratic lady held her red face blown by the sea breeze in both hands, making a fantasy of anticipation.

"Oh, he's going to wear a golden armor and step on seven-colored clouds to marry you, right?"

"Haha, that's not necessary, I hope that after he defeats the Deep-Sea Flagship, he will drive the most powerful warship in the world to marry me."

"This guy is a little worse, but his strength is okay. Why don't you seriously think about it? ”

Lisa sneered: "Humph! Why do you think these people were derelict in their duties? I'm sure this guy is gathering crowds to do drugs. One of my admiralty sisters told me that Fabrizio was very dependent on absinthe, and that he had grown a lot of poppies in his hometown, and not only smoked them himself, but also secretly smuggled them, making great profits. ”

It's no wonder, Xu Zhonglin smelled a pungent smell from that guy just now. In this world, poppy is not very restrictive. Many admirals are privately cultivating refinements in their own town guards to obtain military expenses, but I didn't expect this Fabrizio to be a big drug lord.

Seeing that Lisa was in a much better mood, Xu Zhonglin was about to get up and leave, it was too cold outside, and he didn't like it.

"Town guard, when the service is over, I'll go to the East with you!"

"Oh? Why? Xu Zhonglin was surprised.

Lisa is a promising admiral, and currently has nearly twenty private shipwives under her command, and the number continues to increase. It is foreseeable that as long as she can return to Italy safely this time, she will have her own battleships and aircraft carriers, and her strength will make a qualitative leap. This strength was enough for her to set up her own door and become a town guard admiral.

"Italy is too small, trapped in a giant lake, and will never be able to raise big fish. I want to get out and see the outside world. It's good to be here in Beihai this time, although tonight is very thrilling, and it will be difficult for a while in the future, but I hope that I can face this kind of challenge, I want to be stronger! ”

The afterglow of the searchlight that roamed back and forth on the sea surface sprinkled on the girl's face, reflecting a white halo, which was extremely holy.

"Follow me to my control, and the fleet will be expanded according to the plan. If you just want to get out, I can help you secure a town guard. ”

Lisa is good enough to support a town guard on her own, and it's not bad to have such an ally.

"No, this world is still a patriarchal world after all. Lady Catherine said that if a woman is too strong, she will not be happy. While I want to revive the Gladyine family, I also want to be happy. You're a good guard, you won't let my old subordinate suffer, will you? The slightly sad quip deepened the friendship between the two a little.

Xu Zhonglin thought about Lady Catherine's style, which really suited her style. In any case, having one more powerful subordinate would be a good thing for a nascent town guard, so he stretched out his hand:

"Congratulations, you've made the right bet."
