I didn't know you were such a vampire

Spring in the Apennine Peninsula finally came late after a heavy rain.

The winter that just passed was probably the most relaxing winter for Joya. There was no class arranged by Adriana to forcibly pull her out of sleep in the morning, and except for the morning of her birthday, she was very strange in her own life. Except for being woken up from the cold in the quilt, every other day, she slept peacefully until noon prayer time, and then she slowly got out of the quilt, dressed by Lucia, washed by Alicia, and sat down. Stay for a while, and then continue to read the book that you didn't finish the night before.

Fortunately, before Rodrigo issued an order to prohibit others from visiting, Julia's brother, who is a mercenary leader, had brought enough books from all over the Apennine Peninsula, so that she would not lose her spiritual food during the confinement period. .

If you want to know the information outside the house, you can provide it when Juan, the "unusual" lobbyist, comes to visit.From which cardinal in the Vatican has recently become obsessed with the secret history of the Holy See of which Roman courtesan, to which small lord in the south has a mutiny, and his nephew kills the aunt who is in power. The way is coming, and the words are incisive, and the comments are spicy.

If you ask him: "As the son of the dignified Pope, the Duke of Gandhia, and the in-laws of the Aragonese royal family, how did you know the rumors that these market women are happy to tell."

He would naturally smile smugly, and then said: "Of course I heard it from some information exchange channels in Rome."

Daily recreation and external communication are all available, and the days of being forced to confinement will pass faster. When this winter is over, Lucia puts away the thick winter quilt and puts on a thinner quilt Finally, Juan brought back news that the Count of Pesaro, Giovannis Forza, who was going to be married to the Borgia family, had led his personal guards and came to Rome happily, preparing to become the new pope. son-in-law.

"I went to greet Cesare outside the city." When it came to Cesare, Juan seemed to have eaten a lemon raw, and all his facial features were tightly wrinkled. "This Count Pesaro, what is his appearance? It's just that the smile on that old face really makes me have the urge to throw my stirrups on his face, he is so arrogant that he can't wait to announce to the whole of Rome immediately that he has become the Pope with a huge dowry Daughter's husband."

Qiao Ya flipped through the "Phaedrus" in her hand, and said, "It turns out that I still have so much dowry money, which is really unexpected." She raised her head and thought again, "Then this Where does Count Pesaro live now?"

"Lives in Rome." Juan said casually, "I heard about his current address, two corners away is the largest brothel in Rome with roses in full bloom," he said, and clicked his tongue twice.

"As soon as you heard his address, you knew that there was the largest brothel in Rome nearby..." Qiao Ya deliberately prolonged her tone, and added two more clicks.

Juan's face darkened immediately: "Qiao Ya, you have already turned your elbow to his side before you got married?"

Qiao Ya smiled and stretched out her hand, gesturing toward his nose, but he didn't hide, and stood in front of her in a daze, letting her flick his nose lightly, then frowned and rubbed his nose. He said, "Anyway, you only bully me in this family. I have never seen you play the noses of Cesare, Lucrezia, and Geoffrey like this."

"Then why don't you think that in this family, you are the only one whose nose I have ever flicked, so you are the most special one?" Qiao Ya's hand that had just flicked the tip of his nose moved to the top of his head, rubbing his dark brown Hair, "Before you are much taller than me, I have to seize this time to bully you quickly. When you grow taller and stronger in the future, I won't allow me to flick your nose again."

Juan muttered a few words, his voice was too low for Joya to hear clearly, when she was about to ask Juan what he said, Juan had stretched out his hands to protect his nose and took a step back, speaking lazily Said: "Now I have to obey my father's order and go out to take my 'brother-in-law' from Pesaro to have a good time in Rome, so we have to see you tomorrow."

Qiao Ya smiled and waved her hands, and said, "You go, just don't spoil the guests from Pesaro."

At this time, Juan had already walked to the door. Hearing this, he leaned out half of his body again, and smiled at Qiao Ya: "What? What will you do if I lead him into ruin?"

Qiao Ya flipped back to the "Phaedrus" and said without raising her head, "I reward you with a set of Ottoman-style clothes I made myself."

"Okay!" Juan ordered, and walked out of Qiao Ya's yard with his usual strong and rapid steps, taking his two attendants who were guarding the door.

Not long after Juan left, Alicia came into the room with two glasses of wine. She saw only Joya sitting on a chair flipping a book in the room. Even more slowly, she walked to the table and gently placed two glasses of wine on the desk.

Qiao Ya just turned a page, raised her eyelids, and saw Alicia put away the tray, and was about to step back and leave. Alicia saw her looking at her, and the expression on her face became a little flustered. He opened his mouth quickly, and spit out a few Italian words that were not pronounced standard.

Qiao Ya recognized her pronunciation of the word "sorry", and said with a smile, "Alicia doesn't need to apologize, I didn't read the book very seriously." She closed the book and said, "After all, Plato didn't have a moment I can see it in a while."

Holding the book in her arms, she stood up from the chair, picked up one of the wine glasses on the desk, thought for a while, and asked, "Is there any news outside?"

Alicia loaded the tray between her arms and waist, and began gesticulating with her wrists, with her Arabic and a few broken Italian words popping out suddenly.

This can be regarded as an advanced version of Qiao Ya's communication method with these two Egyptian girls. Fortunately, after a winter of running-in, they have basically adapted to this communication method. They can accurately interpret what they want to express in the Italian language.

Alicia gestured for a long time, Qiao Ya nodded, and began to think.

Alicia said that when she went to Rodrigo to report on Qiao Ya's recent situation, she happened to meet Brendao who broke into the office after knocking on the door twice because of an emergency.

She and Lucia were brought back by Brandao from the market for Rodrigo. At that time, Brandao chose to hire their sisters because they just crossed the Mediterranean Sea from Egypt to the Apennine Peninsula, and then came to Rome. , is not a local, and there is no intricate background relationship of the city-states and principalities in the Apennine Peninsula. They are not familiar with the Roman nobles, and they do not understand Italian. Can speak, but not literate.

It is perfect for spying on the wise and intelligent daughter of the Pope.

It's just that he probably didn't expect that Joya would be so patient and teach these two girls who had passed school age to learn Italian from the beginning; But Brendao, the person who came forward to hire them, remembered it firmly.

So Alicia recognized Blandao at the first sight when she saw her approaching, and because Joya had pointed out Blandao's sensitive identity, so when she saw Blandao's anxious face and reported the matter, After dragging his feet for a long time, after the translator left, he still did not leave Rodrigo's office, so he listened to most of what Brandao said to Rodrigo.

Rodrigo and Brandao, who needed an Arabic translator to communicate with her, still regarded her as an Egyptian country girl who didn't understand Italian, so they didn't notice her slow pace of departure.

It's just that Alicia has only learned Italian for a few months, and her listening skills are limited, so she can only understand a general idea. She described it with difficulty for a long time, but in fact she only described one main content.

"The sapling in Florence that was originally used as a bait for the Assassin organization found a chance and ran away."

Florentine grass, used as bait for the Assassin Order.

Qiao Ya just thought about it a little bit, and felt her body began to tremble slightly. Seeing that something was wrong with her, Alicia took a step forward and planned to support her. She waved her hand quickly and said: " I'm fine, go get busy and don't make them suspicious."

Alicia was a little anxious, desperately pointing at Qiao Ya's face, and then said in Italian: "There is no color of blood."

Qiao Ya forced a smile: "Okay, it's okay, I'll take it easy, you go to your business first, don't let people hear us talking - let alone let people find out that you can speak Italian."

Alicia bit her lip in embarrassment, and took a step back holding the tray. Qiao Ya smiled at her and waved her hand. She lowered her head, regained her senses, and stepped out of Qiao Ya's room door.

And after she left, the wine glass in Qiao Ya's hand immediately slipped from her hand and fell hard to the ground. The red wine liquid spilled all over the floor and gurgled past her feet.

She stood by the desk, her body was a little stiff, and it took a long time before she bent down and picked up the wine glass that had been poured into a piece of red liquid.And she also maintained a half-squatting posture, with her other hand clenched into a fist, hugging the blue tendons on the back of her hand.

Sapling in Florence, bait for the Assassins.

The sapling used as the bait of the Assassin Organization must refer to Ma Ke, who is only eight years old, and when the sapling becomes the bait, it means that the more eye-catching tree has been cut off in half.
