The second sister Shi, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled, and almost couldn't even kneel.

Previously, she had always regarded Zhu Zhanyan as a stepping stone to the top and a step to control the supreme power in the world, but she forgot one thing.

This man, who tried in vain to make her own step through her body, used countless corpses and mountains of blood as stepping stones to reach the peak she had always longed for.

Generally speaking, if there are no accidents, Zhu Zhanyan will not put on a stand with his own people, let alone lose his temper.

However, when Shi Jisun dared to secretly pick up the exiled King Zhao of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zhanyan was really angry.

And Second Sister Shi can be regarded as a "blessing in disguise", and she saw Zhu Zhanyan's appearance that ordinary people can't see.

"Although your family is from the ancestral home of the Central Plains, after all, they haven't been back for many years, do you need me to explain to you, what kind of crime is it to take away the imperial court and exile Qin prisoners without permission?"

Looking at Second Sister Shi kneeling in front of her, Zhu Zhanyan's tone was cold.

Originally, he wanted to remove the Old Port Propaganda Division, or replace the Shi family who was the hereditary Propaganda and Consolation Department of the Old Hong Kong, but because of the initial promise, it has been difficult to open this mouth.

Now it's okay, and I'll deliver it to the door myself?

However, now is still not the time for Zhu Zhan to be angry, even if he wants to be angry, he can't lose an inch.

The most important thing at the moment is to find and bring back his third uncle, and there is no spot effect on the anger of this second sister Shi here.

"No...... Don't bother...... His Royal Highness the Prince ......"

Second Sister Shi, who was kneeling on the ground, really felt the sense of oppression from Zhu Zhanyan, and the cold sweat on her forehead continued to drip down.

Previously, Zhu Zhan's reputation as a god-killing god spread all over the world, but Second Sister Shi didn't care, thinking that although Zhu Zhanyan was very powerful, he couldn't reach the point that people rumored.

But now she realizes that she was wrong.

Even if it is a rumor, even if it has been exaggerated countless times, there is no doubt about one thing, that is, rumors are based on facts.

"Since you don't have to, that's the best."

Looking at the trembling Second Sister Shi, Zhu Zhanyan nodded slightly.

"Counting the distance back and forth, I'll give you three months."

"In three months, if you can't bring someone to me, then what awaits you will be the judgment of the Ming Dynasty."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness!"

Second Sister Shi was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed.

Letting go of the exiled criminals without permission is already a big crime, and Shi Jisun's behavior is not considered to be a private release, and should be classified as robbery.

According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, if Shi Jisun's behavior is discovered and caught, it will be the same crime as the person who was kidnapped by him, and it will be added to the same level.

On what charges was Zhu Gaosui arrested? It's rebellion!

If it weren't for the identity of the royal family, if it weren't for the fact that Zhu Zhan Yan didn't want to take over the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Gaosui could almost be said to be dead.

And what about Shi Jisun?

The same crime as the robbed person is already a major crime of the Zhulian Nine Clans, and according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, the offense is added by one degree......

Not to mention the Shi family, the entire Old Port Propaganda Division has to be cleaned.

Previously, Second Sister Shi also fantasized about it, because just like Zhu Zhanyan's idea, the most important thing at the moment is to bring Zhu Gaosui back, and it doesn't matter if Shi Jisun or anything else, so Second Sister Shi once fantasized about whether it is possible that there will be nothing for the time being.

Although in the end, no matter whether Zhu Gaosui was brought back or not, their family still had to accept the punishment of the Ming Dynasty, but if they could delay it for a while, if they could live, who would want to die?

The second sister of Keshi is just a fantasy, because in the north of the old port Xuanwei Division is the Malay Peninsula, and further north is the Xiangzhou Mansion.

There, it is the place where King Wu Yimai attaches the most importance after leaving Yunnan, and many things seem to be necessary, but in the face of absolute crushing strength, it is not necessarily necessary.

didn't expect that the things in the fantasy actually appeared in the real world, how could this make Second Sister Shi not overjoyed?

Watching Second Sister Shi leave, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhu Zhanyan's mouth, if Second Sister Shi saw this smile, she would definitely have mixed feelings.

The good thing is that Zhu Zhanyan smiled, and the smile generally represents positive emotions.

But......

The worry is ...... That's a sneer.

Soon, with the departure of Second Sister Shi, another person also left Ankara and mixed into the ship returning to the Old Port Xuanwei Division.

This is a very simple matter, this time to transport grain and grass baggage has been followed by people from the Ming Dynasty, after all, this is not a trivial matter, no one will be willing to let go of outsiders.

Once something happens, the lowest level is the level of losing the head, and if it is serious, it is the level of the Nine Clans.

So, let alone mixing in one or two people, even if it is one or two hundred people in it, it is normal, but no one knows what the purpose of this person is.

It can only be said that what should be done still has to be done, and the people who should deal with it still have to be dealt with.

……

Napoli.

As the capital of a kingdom, Napoli is somewhat incomprehensible to the seaside, but the people here refer to the Central Plains, not the white pig.

On the European side, it is not uncommon for the capital city to be located by the sea, such as the Kingdom of Naples, the former Byzantine Empire, the current Eastern Roman Empire, and the Kingdom of Portugal.

As a seaside city and the capital of a kingdom, it's normal to be busy, but today it's different.

There is only one reason, and Napolis today gathers three forces.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty Frederick, Rene is leaving."

Jeanne II looked at the Pope beside him, then at Frederick III, and finally nodded at Rene.

"Let's go, be careful all the way."

"Pay attention, don't let the other party see any flaws, everything must be safe, once you provoke the other party, you should know what we are facing!"

Jeanne II's tone was very harsh, even a little coercive.

But it was in this tone that the Pope and Frederick III were satisfied.

What kind of person Jeanne II is, not to mention the whole of Europe, everyone in the circle around the Papal State knows, and it is no secret what the relationship between the Duke of René and Jeanne II is.

After all, Jeanne II is known to be a man who does not even breastfeed her children, but only gives them to her wet nurse, and this woman will call her lover and adopted son again within a month of giving birth.

René is one of Jeanne II's favorite adopted sons recently, although this kind of adopted son is lost, but to see Jeanne II like this, the Pope and Frederick III are still very satisfied.

"Your Majesty, let's please."

"Your Holiness the Pope is serious."

After the hypocritical greetings, these big men who sat at the pinnacle of power and stood above everyone's heads finally left, and because of the arrival of these people, the docks of the exhibition hall were busy again, as if nothing had happened.

Only those who play with power know how important what is happening today.

Napoli Palace.

In fact, European royalty is very chaotic, not only as recorded in history and wild history, this chaos is usually beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

A few disheveled maids left a palace with their heads bowed, and not long after, Frederick III walked out satisfied.

Turning his head to look to the side, he saw the Pope, who was also satisfied......

and Jeanne II.

……

The council chamber of the Napoli Palace.

The Pope sat at the top, flanked by Jeanne II and Frederick III, and in front of them were wines that seemed to be of great value.

"So, when Duke Rene returns with good news, it's time for us to send troops, right?"

"That's right." Faced with Frederick III's question, the Pope nodded.

"However, His Majesty Frederick still has to hurry up, the crusaders of the Holy See will arrive in Napoli in three days at most, and Your Majesty Frederick's army is still nowhere to be seen, this is not the attitude that a collaborator should have."

"Your Holiness the Pope, where is this?" Frederick III hurriedly smiled.

Don't look at the Pope's politeness, but the Holy See is something they can't contend with, and if the Holy See really wants to, then the Sicilian Dynasty will probably become a land under the rule of the Pope State in a short time.

Fortunately, however, the Church is made up of a group of hypocritical people, and the Pope at the top is the hypocritical villain among the hypocritical villains.

In order to protect the reputation of the Holy See, it was impossible for the Papal States to send troops at will, especially the Crusaders.

If this time it was not an enemy like the Ming Dynasty who came from the east, even if the Pope agreed, the crusaders would not be able to dispatch at will.

You know, the Crusaders were an army that fought for the faith, not bandits who only knew how to bully civilians.

Of course, whether they are fighting for the faith or not is known only to them and those who rule them.

"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Naples may not be able to go to war this time."

Just as Frederick III was laughing, Jeanne II suddenly spoke in surprise.

"Why!?"

Before the Pope could speak, Frederick III was already in a hurry.

In fact, it stands to reason that since he can move the Pope, Frederick III can completely avoid cooperating with the Kingdom of Naples, because the two of them are feuding.

One wants to reclaim the old land, the other has ambitions to annex the other, and both of them want to kill the other and become the sole masters of the kingdom of Naples before the split.

If you don't cooperate with the Kingdom of Naples, the Kingdom of Naples that has been licking Zhu Zhan's toes before can be eliminated as a dissident, and finally the Kingdom of Naples will be divided between the Papal State and the Kingdom of Sicily.

However, things are not so simple.

The geographical location of the Kingdom of Naples is awkward for the Papal States and the Kingdom of Sicily, in the north of the Kingdom of Sicily and in the south of the Papal States.

If you skip Jeanna II and send troops directly against Daming, let's not talk about whether Jeanna II will ventilate and report to Daming to be prepared in advance, and say that the empty nest after sending troops is also dangerous.

The representative of the Papal State is the Pope, and behind the Pope is the Holy See, and the Kingdom of Naples will definitely not dare to make a move against the Papal State, if that is the case, it will be tantamount to standing on the opposite side of everyone.

It's like in the Central Plains, you openly shout that all Confucianism is spicy chicken.

But not daring to do anything to the Papal State does not mean that she does not dare to do anything to the Kingdom of Sicily, not to mention that Jeanne II has long been plotting to take back Sicily in order to enhance her prestige, which has been low due to promiscuity and neglect.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Sicily could only strike preemptively, while negotiating with the Holy See, and at the same time taking advantage of the fact that the Holy See had not yet agreed to reach a consensus with the Neapolitan dynasty and pull it into the camp.

In this way, the three parties work together and work towards common interests, even if the final losses will be different, but they will not be very large.

At the very least, the Kingdom of Naples and the Kingdom of Sicily will remain evenly matched.

But now, Jeanne II actually said that the Kingdom of Naples could not send troops? Isn't that the Kingdom of Naples able to preserve its vital forces, while their Kingdom of Sicily is desperately fighting on the front line?

"Your Majesty Frederick need not be in a hurry." Before Jeanne II could explain, the Pope did.

"I have just discussed this matter with His Majesty Jeanne, after all, the Kingdom of Naples has already been in contact with the other party before this, and if it sends troops again, it is very likely to cause the other party to be angry and have an adverse impact on the outcome."

"What we are looking for is security, after all, the other side will make the entire Timurid Empire not one out of ten, and even make the Kipchak Khanate (Golden Horde) retreat and abandon the enemies who accompany the capital."

"His Holiness the Pope said it, he said it......" Frederick III nodded and smiled, but there was a grim glint in his eyes.

Now, how could Frederick III not know what deal the dog man and woman had reached when they had just fornicated? After all, the Pope's reaction was too unusual.

You know, since the Tenth Crusade, the Crusaders have become almost an untouchable force, because the Crusaders have completely rotted and become prisoners of desire.

In this case, the Pope should have hoped that the kingdoms of Naples and Sicily would send as many troops as possible, and that the Crusaders would have to exert as few forces as possible, and even the chances of the Crusaders going to war.

Once something went wrong, he had already fallen off the altar, and after more than 120 years of recuperation, he had just slightly improved.

It is impossible for the Pope to let the Crusaders have problems at this juncture, even if they continue to avoid war, the Pope will not let the Crusaders have the possibility of defeat.

Even if...... Avoiding war will also make people gossip, but it's better than defeat.

If the war is really defeated, there is no way for the Holy See to fool those civilians into fighting for them.

Thinking of this, Frederick III couldn't help but look at the flush on Jeanne II's face, which was about to return to normal.

He suddenly thought of the so-called hell under the church, which had been circulated among the people before.
