Creed of the heavens

Giovanni's eyes flickered a little, as if he was conveying some information to the four children with his eyes.

On the other hand, Maria's eyes shone coldly, and she glared at the unrestrained second son with a cold face: "Ezio, come with me, it seems that I need to teach you how to respect women again."

"Uh" Ezio took two steps back with a guilty conscience: "I don't need this, I think I have already respected women"

"Shut up! Follow me!"

Feeling Maria's tough attitude of explaining the uselessness, Ezio, who was lucky, his shoulders completely collapsed, and he replied weakly: "Yes"

The other people present watched Ezio grinning with pity as Maria grabbed his ears and dragged him away.

Giovanni smiled wryly and sighed: "Ezio hasn't even figured out the real reason for Maria's anger. It's really time to educate her."

What Maria was angry with was not Ezio's romantic ways. Giovanni was not much better than Ezio when he was young, and now he is not being controlled by Maria.

Maria's displeasure with Ezio stems from his reckless behavior without considering the consequences.

The reason why Claudia was attacked by Vieri today, Ezio should bear at least half of the responsibility.

Members of the Auditore family cherish their family very much, and Maria absolutely cannot accept Ezio's reckless behavior that harms his family.

Giovanni clapped his hands to attract the attention of the four present: "Okay, leave Ezio alone, Maria will teach him well."

"Lu, thanks to your protection, Claudia was safe and sound."

Giovanni bowed solemnly to Lu Xiao and said, "Please accept my thanks as a father."

Lu Xiao hurriedly made a gesture of support to Giovanni: "Mr. Giovanni, you are right."

"Since I fled to Italy, the Auditore family has always taken good care of me. We Orientals pay attention to courteous reciprocity, and it is only natural to help Claudia under such a meeting."

Giovanni raised his hand to stop Lu Xiao from explaining: "Don't worry, listen to me."

"Although the influence of the Pazzi family in Florence is not comparable to that of the Medici family, with the help of certain forces secretly, their power is not weak."

"This time you made Vieri go through a very humiliating trauma. Even if you say that there will be no sequelae, and the Pazzi family's grievances must be vengeful, your life in Florence may not be easy in the future."

Considering that Claudia and Petruccio were present, Giovanni did not speak clearly, but it was enough for Federico and Lu Xiao, who knew the inside story, to understand what he really meant.

Lu Xiao shrugged freely: "I guessed this before I made the move. Besides, even if I don't provoke the Paqi family in my own name, in the eyes of those people, I will also be eliminated sooner or later, right?"

Giovanni was stunned for a moment, and then laughed in a low voice: "That's right, the conflict between the Pazzi family and us cannot be resolved by taking the initiative to make concessions."

"But you'd better be more vigilant in the near future. Neither Vieri nor Francesco are people who can bear their temper."

"Vieri suffered such a big loss this time, and Francesco was scolded mercilessly by Lorenzo. They will definitely find a way to get back the game as soon as possible."

Lu Xiao nodded clearly: "I know, recently I will act as low-key as possible."

"Ahhh! Get out!"

In the central city of Florence, in the extremely luxurious Pazzi mansion, heart-piercing screams and howls resounded through the night sky.

A man in black wearing a bird's beak mask was kicked away by Vieri who was lying on the bed for examination. Under the unbearable pain, Vieri curled up subconsciously again.

Due to the influence of the Black Death in the 14th century, most doctors in Europe in this era were very well protected. Beak masks and fully covered black robes were their standard equipment.

Seeing his son's miserable appearance, Francesco clenched his teeth and tried to suppress his anger.

"Doctor, how is my son? Will his injury affect his future life?"

The doctor who was kicked flying got up from the ground in embarrassment, and replied to Francesco who asked the question angrily: "It's not a big problem, just need some painkillers."

"As long as you get through this period of pain, your son's future life will not be affected in any way. People who make moves are very measured."

Francesco let out a long sigh of relief, and put on a fake and cheerful expression to thank him again and again: "Thank you, the doctor for coming, to send the doctor away, and to offer a generous reward."

"Yes!"

After the doctor was sent away, Vieri, who had taken painkillers, finally got some relief, showing his tearful face.

"Father, I must repay this humiliation ten times no, a hundred times!"

The cold-natured Francesco's concern for Vieri was not aimed at Vieri himself, but worried that the future leadership of the Pazzi family would fall into the hands of side branches because of Vieri's unparalleled status.

Francesco agreed with a gloomy face: "Don't worry, if you dare to attack the heir of the Pazzi family so unscrupulously, I will definitely make Auditore pay the price."

"But it's not the time yet, just be patient for a while, as long as the time predicted by the master comes"

A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Francesco's mouth: "Not only the lackeys of the Auditore family, but also the Medici family who stole the dominion of Florence will be wiped out, and the great Pazzi family will rise again with the help of the Knights. !"

Chapter 21 Don't Look Down, Don't Look Down, Don't Look Down

The Auditore family and Lu Xiao were prepared for the stormy revenge of the Pachi family, but contrary to everyone's expectations, until this Sunday, there was no movement from the Pachi family.

"Not right."

Giovanni frowned: "Based on what I know about the Pazzi family, they are definitely not the kind to swallow their anger. There must be something wrong behind this abnormal forbearance."

Lu Xiao's face changed, and he spoke out without any trace: "Could it be that the Templar Knights have a bigger conspiracy. In order not to startle the snake, the higher-ups of the Knights forcibly suppressed the Patch family's intention of revenge?"

Giovanni touched his chin thoughtfully: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. What are they planning?"

Lu Xiao reminded again: "Think about the end of the Duke of Milan, and Rodrigo Borgia's fanatical desire to take power. Their goal is already coming out."

Giovanni nodded slowly with a serious face: "Do you really want to overthrow the Medici family's rule over Florence? The question is, what method do they plan to take?"

"It's not that I look down on the Pazzi family and the Templars. Now the high-level officials in Florence are all allies of the Medici family. With the amazing financial resources of the Medici family, the city's defenses are also foolproof. The entire city of Emerald City can be said to be a monolith. .”

"How does Rodrygo plan to break through Fiorentina's impregnable defense?"

Lu Xiao sneered and said, "We have a saying in the east that the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed by an ant's nest. The more complete the defense, the more complete the defense, once it is caught in a small gap, the whole situation may collapse."

"If I were Rodrygo, I would definitely not attack Fiorentina with a solid defense."

"Sun Tzu, a well-known book on the art of war in our country, said: Firstly, attack the army, secondly attack the enemy, secondly attack the army, and secondly attack the city. The method of attacking the city is a last resort."

"To explain in plain language, Rodrigo is likely to take a strategic approach to capture the city of Florence, and it is likely to be a heart attack."

Giovanni's expression changed: "You mean, the Templars will instigate against high-level officials in Florence?"

Lu Xiao nodded and said: "If it were me, I would do that. What needs to be considered now is which senior officials are likely to be instigated by Rodrigo. It is best to give priority to those who have enemies with Medici."

Giovanni paced back and forth in the study a little anxiously. He seemed to have thought of a certain goal, but he couldn't believe it for a while.

As the leader of the Florentine Brotherhood of Assassins, Giovanni quickly put aside the influence of his personal emotions on himself, and said objectively in a relatively cold tone: "I have thought of a person. Recently, I will personally treat He was closely monitored."

Lu Xiao did not reveal any more information, and silently expressed her support for Giovanni's decision.
