Chapter 249 Uliu's Thrilling Moment

The weather in June is as hot as fire. Not many people dare to travel at noon this season because they may be unconscious to faint on the ground because they cannot find the water source.

Such a result is often either becoming the mouth of wild animals or being looted by passers-by.

Uriu leaned against the shade of a big tree, his mule was tied next to it, and a few slightly shriveled but still fresh fruits were placed on the ground.

It has been a few days since he left the Valoi Valley, and Uriu has been smooth sailing all the way. He is now in a hurry to reach the harbor by the sea. For him, the trip has been longer than ever before, but the result is quite satisfactory.

Louis XII was a very enlightened man. Although as a king, he was not only able to comply with the people's sentiments, but more importantly, he was a person who could truly listen to the public's opinions.

Although he had only been ascended to the throne for more than two years, as far as Uriu knows, someone has already given the French king a very respected nickname such as "Friends of the People". Although the French like to randomly call nicknames, this very artistic title is somewhat devaluable, it can be seen that Louis XII's king is quite good.

While trying to please the people, Louis XII did not forget to please the nobles. Although it was from this time that the French kings gradually extended their power to the nobles, Louis XII thought he was born to be a very patient and steady person, so his actions were also cautious and cautious.

During the period when Uriu was in the Valoire Valley, the Moors had witnessed some of Louis XII's methods with their own eyes.

The failure of the expedition to Italy seemed to have caused heavy losses to the French, but if you look closely, you will find that the real losses were only the nobles from all over the country.

The French king recruited the nobles to launch an expedition, but when he returned to France, he soon became involved in the settlement of the territory left by the French nobles who died in Italy.

This behavior is a bit disgusting, but it is tolerated because it is in the interests of many people.

Even many families with ancient traditions cannot be spared because of the extinction of succession and the unowned territory.

Similarly, some great nobles used various means to annex and embezzle the property of their unfortunately dead relatives.

It is precisely because of this that although many people realized that Louis XII took the opportunity to dismantle the aristocratic class and began to collect power, no one was willing to make the case after they gained the benefits.

Uriu saw all this, but not many people in the French court paid attention to this Moorish people who were wandering around most of the time.

Uriu felt that what was happening in France should be reported to the master as soon as possible, because he vaguely felt that the situation in France that seemed a little chaotic now should not last long, and Louis XII is laying the foundation for a brand new France in the future.

Uriu sat under the shade of the tree thinking about his thoughts. If there was someone who really knew Alexander, then it must be Ruosha.

But if someone knows how to please him, Uriu believes that he is second, no one dares to recognize that he is the first.

So in the eyes of many people, the Moors are a jester and a clown. Even those who have followed Alexander for a long time do not think that he will have any real usefulness.

Especially after the establishment of the Principality of Roman Thesia, the entire system gradually matured, in the eyes of many people, people like Uriu may be the best place for him in the future, that is, the master who serves him all day long by Alexander.

Only Alexander knew that Uriu was a very smart man, or that this young Moorish man had good legs and feet, and could always struggle to catch up when everyone thought he might have fallen behind.

More importantly, Uriu knew clearly what he could do, and even more clearly what he could not do.

As the chief magistrate of Alexander and private messenger, Uriu has two completely different identities.

On the one hand, what he did was the decision of the Duke of Roman Thesia, and on the other hand, he was just Alexander's servant, so many things seemed much more flexible to do.

There are two roads from the Valoi Valley to Montpellier.

One of them was taken by Uliu at the time. Although the road was a little farther, it was quite peaceful because there were many villages and towns along the way.

The other one is to go straight south, through the mountainous Alpangdi area, and then turn west and go all the way to Montpellier.

This road is much closer than before, but it is a bit unsafe because the road is remote and unsafe.

Uriu would choose to take this new path because he was rushing to return to Italy.

The news that Louis XII revealed to him made Uriu realize that the situation had indeed developed as the master had previously speculated. The French and Austrians were eventually involved in the bottomless vortex of Milan.

The Moors clearly remembered that when he tentatively asked how long Milan could contain the two largest European countries, the change that appeared on Alexander's face.

At that time, Alexander did not give a real answer, but said calmly: "Believe me, this war has been long enough to allow us to do a lot of things."

"These things probably include how to make the master's women more at ease."

Thinking of Alexander's none of the worries-free women, Uriu thought about it with gloating.

In the past few years, Uliu has been running around everywhere, and has always been inseparable from the beginning, and later wandering outside for many years. Many people have only heard of the legendary imperial chief, but have never seen him.

This experience makes many people think that Uriu may gradually fall out of favor in the future. After all, a former chief manager who has been away from the center of power for a long time and is a Moorish man is easily forgotten and more easily replaced.

However, Uriu never worried about his future. This was not because he firmly believed that Alexander would not abandon him, but because he knew very well that in this world, many people could become ministers and more could be qualified servants, but he was the only one who could be a loyal minister in the palace and do those private work for the master.

A team of cavalry slowly walked in the distance, with a familiar flag in front of the team. Uliu narrowed his eyes and looked at it carefully, while carefully touching the musket hidden under his clothes.

On the special belt under his wide clothes, several small muskets of the same special purpose were hung.

These muskets are much smaller than the short muskets used by soldiers on the battlefield, and are more well-made and have more reliable performance.

Although the power of firearms has gradually become known, in this era when the technology is backward and the rate of fire cannot be compared with bows and arrows, the power of muskets is more reflected in the first bullet fired. If there is no sufficient protection, disaster will come for musketeers.

Uriu, who has been away all year round, wants to save his life when he encounters danger, he cannot count on a sword or a crossbow.

What he used to save his life were those small short guns that could shoot out several projectiles at the same time.

The team opposite was getting closer and closer. Looking at the gradually clearing flag, he quietly put away the short gun that Uriu had originally hidden in his sleeve.

He walked to the edge of the shade and stopped and stood there, quietly waiting for the team to approach, and then he saluted a knight in such a season, who looked meticulously dressed in a knight.

"Salute to you, Lord Governor, this is really where we meet in life."

After Uriu said to Shahron, who was riding on the horse, he straightened up and looked up at him. There was a hint of innocent and even a naughty smile on his dark face.

Sharlun was also looking at him. In fact, he had to recognize the other party earlier than Uliu. He was wondering why this Moor had appeared here. When he suddenly became alert because of Uliu's appearance, it didn't take long.

But this is enough for Sharron to think of a lot of things.

"Can I say I'm surprised but not surprised to see you here?"

Sharlun said as he turned over and dismounted with the help of his servant. He took the water bag first and raised his head and drank a few sips, then poured the rest on his head. After making a happy moan, he waved to Uriu and signaled him to go over.

"Sir, I really didn't expect to see you here."

Uriu's accident was not a disguise. Although he took a boat to leave France on a coast and then on a coast, if you think about it carefully, you will know that with Charleon's current position, going from the Arpendi region to the Loire Valley, is the only way for Charleon today.

When he was in the court of the Loire Valley, Uriu had already heard that Sharlun had a new job.

For Charles VIII or Louis XII, they all seemed to think that he was a professional householder in the occupied areas.

It seems that no one is more suitable for occupying the position of governor of the area than him, but this time the place where he is going to be stationed is a bit special.

When appointed as the governor of the occupied Castile region with the generals sent by the Kingdom of Navarra, Charlen was only helpless for his always holding such a position.

But with the destruction of the French army invading the northern part of Castilla, Charlun suddenly discovered that he had changed from the governor of the occupied area to the front line commander.

However, despite this, Charlun did not order a new invasion of Castilla without authorization. Even though he had been on the border between Navarra and Castilla during this period, and he did lead troops into Castilla many times, he had never ordered a large-scale invasion.

This made the Navarra general who was sent to form a coalition with him irritable and uneasy, and later he became even more angry.

Regarding Charleon's activities on the border, Uriu has received a lot of news in the French court, but now the two suddenly meet in the Alpangdi area, which makes Uriu realize that perhaps the situation in Castile has changed.

"I heard that there was a Moor next to the king. At that time, I was thinking that people described it just like you, and now it seems that I have guessed it right."

Charlun looked at Uriu seriously. He had dealt with the Moor many times, so he knew very well what role this young pagan played with Alexander.

"Sir, I just delivered a letter to the king by the order of the master."

Uriu said carefully, and a few thoughts flashed through his mind. Looking at Shahron's deep gaze as he looked at him, a cold suddenly rose from Uriu's heart.

Unlike other nobles around Louis, Charlem was obviously a person who pursued reality. Although he also had the desire for knight honor, he was definitely not a person who sticks to the rules.

Even when Alexander evaluated the French generals, he mentioned the difference between Charleon more than once.

And whether it was Charles VII or Louis XII, it was indeed clear that Charlesund seemed more suitable to play a role in the rear rather than in the battlefield.

But now, Uriu knew clearly that he might be in real danger, and he had no doubt that Sharron would take his life here.

As if he noticed Uriu's nervousness, Shahron's gaze gradually became sharp.

"Tell me, how do your master intends to take advantage of the current situation?" Charon asked, then reminded him of something, "You probably don't know yet that the Duke of Romanthesia defeated Gonzalo's army in Seville."

A hint of surprise appeared on Uliu's face, he really didn't know about this.

Although I guessed that Charon suddenly returned to the palace from Navarra at this time might be because of something happened in Castile, now when he heard this, Uriu was excited and immediately realized a key.

"Sir, I send news to my master on the order of the king, and His Majesty has decided to march towards Milan."

Sharlun let out a "Oh" sound, and he looked at Uriu, as if he was thinking about something.

Uriu was waiting nervously. He knew whether his life could continue to survive was the next thought of the French nobleman.

The Moors, who have always believed that they can escape all dangers, can only wait for the arrangement of fate at this time.

"Has the king decided?" Shahrun finally asked.

"Yes."

"He doesn't know about Seville yet," Shahron whispered in a low voice, and then said to himself, "Oh, of course he doesn't know."

Uriu stood there and looked at Charlun until he finally stopped and looked over.

"Tell me, what happened in Milan?"

At this time, Shahrun looked serious, and his eyes staring at Uliu also looked very gloomy.

Before the news about Castilla came, Louis XII had decided to enter Milan, which made Charlen doubt that something unexpected happened in Italy.

"I think something was wrong with the Austrians," Uriu said as he thought quickly, "It is said that Cadislas II of Bohemia is preparing to compete with the emperor for Hungary again."

Shahron narrowed his eyes slightly, and after he looked at Uriu for a while, he slowly smiled.

"Did you know, I'm always grateful to those who bring me good news."

Sharlun said, waved to a servant, took a purse from him and stuffed it into Uriu's hand.

"Greetings to the Duke of Romanthesia for me, and telling him that maybe we will not have a chance to fight side by side in the future."

Looking at the team that was gradually moving away under the guidance of the flag, Uliu wiped the sweat off his head until their backs became blurred.
