A young man hurriedly crossed a street. He got off from a carriage opposite. When he was passing through the street, he looked back and forth. After confirming that there was no danger, he quickly ran over.

Then he looked behind him for a while before entering an alley, and then walked into the depths of the alley with a little confidence.

The young man dressed very ordinary, and seemed to deliberately not want others to notice him.

After entering the alley, the young man's steps gradually slowed down. He looked into the alley with some suspicion. After he was sure that there were indeed people he wanted to meet among the figures that appeared in front of him, he walked towards those people.

Among the few people opposite, a middle-aged man with a short head was walking out. He looked like a foreigner and his dress did not look so in line with the local trend.

The young man frowned in disgust. Although these vulgar country bumpkins were his fellow countrymen, he looked down on these people from the bottom of his heart.

"I didn't expect you to come in person," the middle-aged man saluted the young man in a slightly flattering tone, "I think you must have brought me important news."

"It's very important," said the young man impatiently. "If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have come to see you in person."

As the young man waved to the followers behind the men, he asked them to stand farther. Seeing the people who were unwilling to leave, he let the middle-aged man look at him unhappily.

"Everyone stays away," the middle-aged man immediately ordered his men to send them away, and then he asked carefully, "What have you brought to me?"

"It's Old Rovere," said the young man with an unhappy expression that was not consistent with his age, "that old guy may be officially declared to abolish my father's Pope."

"Oh, is that?" The middle-aged man was not too surprised, and even smiled in his expression. However, he soon noticed that his expression seemed to arouse the dissatisfaction of the young people, so he quickly said, "I wonder if the cardinals will agree to the bishop's proposal this time?"

"I don't know this, but I will find a way to inquire," said Jeffrey, looking at the man coldly and said, "Your king must be happy to hear this, but you must remember to remind him not to forget to promise me."

"Please rest assured, I will definitely bring your words to the king." The man quickly assured Jeffrey that he actually didn't know whether his master would fulfill his promise, but it was not his business. "But if you can help the king in this matter, I think it might be better."

"What are you going to let me do? Do you take the lead in opposing my father?" Jeffrey asked back with some annoyance. In fact, he didn't care whether doing this would make Alexander VI sad. What made Jeffrey angry was that he did not have such ability.

After being exiled, Alexander VI did not take his youngest son and daughter-in-law away, and Jeffrey and Xiasan had to temporarily hide in their territory in Casino, south of Rome, to avoid the limelight.

Fortunately, neither Alexander VI's loss of power nor the war that broke out later affected Casino. Jeffrey even returned to Rome in chaos after the war ended.

However, the Roman prince soon discovered that he had lost his previous status and power. Although the Roman nobles did not turn it out, he could still feel the loss of being despised.

This made Jeffrey full of resentment towards Alexander VI.

He felt that Alexander VI deliberately did not take him away was a revenge on his suspicion that he was not his own child for so many years, so if he could cause some trouble for his father, Jeffrey didn't think it was too much.

Fortunately, most of the forces left by Alexander VI in Rome did not recognize him, but some people decided to elect him as the leader of their small group.

This is certainly not because Jeffrey has some excellent leadership skills, but because he is the Pope's son.

Many people still believe that Alexander VI would not lose so willingly. He may be waiting for an opportunity to return to the Vatican and regain power.

Among those who think so, in addition to his previous subordinates, of course, his enemies are also included.

For example, Old Rovery never dared to relax against this strong enemy, and his return to Valencia also made Old Rovery feel uneasy.

Because Alexander was in Iberia at this time, Old Rovery was worried that the two people would cooperate again.

So when Geoffrey found Rovery, the youngest son, asked him to support him in re-election of the pope, Rovery was just a little surprised and agreed to the request of Alexander VI, the youngest son.

But Jeffrey soon discovered that he had no position in Old Rovery, let alone a say. The reason why Old Rovery agreed to join was just to let everyone know that even Alexander VI's own son opposed him.

This disappointed Jeffrey, and was doubtful about whether Old Rover would really support him in taking over Xia San's territory in northeastern Naples.

When the two got married, Xia Sang had a territory under his name that although it was not large, it also had a lot of resources.

Although this place called Alvito is far away from Naples and is not convenient to rule alone because it is lonely and is very eager to take it in your hands.

However, even though Alvito was not directly annexed by Naples, from the strength shown by the Queen of Naples and the uncoordinated relationship between him and Alexander, Jeffrey felt that it would be a matter of time before the Queen took back that territory.

Jeffrey hopes to get the support of Old Rowere, and the conditions he exchanges are to stand on the side of his father's enemy.

But now it seems that this plan seems to be in a sign of failure. Old Rovery does not attach importance to him, and his determination to depose Alexander VI is so strong, which makes Jeffrey a little embarrassed and hesitant.

At this moment, Ferdinand's men suddenly came to him, and the conditions proposed to him were that Jeffrey could not refuse.

Ferdinand promised Jeffrey that if he could help him, he might not be able to consider the title of Duke of Gandino to be inherited by Geoffrey or his children in the future, especially if Maria de Luna's son had no descendants, Jeffrey could have inherited the territory of Gandino at that time without worrying that Giovanni's daughter would compete with him for the title of Duke.

Although this promise is still far away, Jeffrey really finds it difficult to reject this huge temptation.

Neither Giovanni nor Caesar, Jeffrey had any feelings for him, which made him sometimes doubt whether he was the son of Alexander VI.

As for Giovanni's children, he had almost forgotten what they looked like, which made him feel no spiritual guilt for seizing his brother's territory. The only thing he was worried about was whether Ferdinand would break his promise.

However, when he heard that Alexander seemed to be doing well in Liberia and might even inherit the Castile throne, perhaps with the idea of ​​"even if I can't get any benefits, I can't make you feel comfortable", Jeffrey began to frequently contact Ferdinand's people.

Jeffrey now lives in a large mansion south of Rome.

This is a two-story building. With the help of superb craftsmanship, the architect built the second floor of the house wider than the first floor. A whole circle of bay windows hanging in the air made the house stand like a huge mushroom at the end of Triangle Street.

When Jeffrey returned home, he saw the carriage parked at his door before he even entered the door. The eye-catching marks on the carriage made his face look ugly suddenly. He grabbed the sword he used to decorate with, and after enduring it, he jumped out of the car because of anger and rushed into the house angrily.

Jeffrey's sudden appearance obviously surprised the servants. They were in a hurry to give way to their masters, but this delayed some time.

At least when he broke into the living room on the second floor with a dark face, he saw his wife Xia Sang sitting on a long bench covered with soft velvet cushions, listening carefully to the Tuscany and Romagna reading a poem.

Geoffrey's arrival seemed to surprise the two of them. They looked at Geoffrey who was looking at them with a suspicion in surprise. Seeing him looking for something in the room, but because he had not found anything and was a little angry, Ma Ximo could only regretfully complain to Xia Sang that he had lost the mood to continue reading aloud.

This made Xia Sang very unhappy. She stood up and wanted to argue with Jeffrey, but was eventually persuaded by Maximo with her eyes.

"It seems that I can only be here today, but I am very happy to continue reading these poems for you tomorrow." Maximo said goodbye to Xia Sang politely, and even though Jeffrey ignored him, he did not forget to say hello to the owner of the house.

"Madam, it seems that your husband doesn't care much about you," Maximo said to Xia Sang, who was sending him out in a somewhat emotional and unfair tone, "Otherwise, why do I rarely see him accompanying you?"

"Jeffrey... is busy with something, but what the Bishop said is right. He doesn't care about me, otherwise he won't be in a hurry to go back to Aragon," Xiasang said, and became a little annoyed. "I swear if he wants to inherit Gandino's territory, I will definitely not follow him to the remote countryside where Moors are used to being."

Xia Sang's words made Mahimo slightly stunned. But he had long known that Jeffrey even opposed his father in order to successfully inherit Alvito.

But now it seems that things are much more complicated than he thought before, which made Maximo start to worry about what Jeffrey would kick out in order to become Duke of Gandino.

Who was the murderer who hurt Giovanni was still indefinitely? This made many people doubt that Jeffrey was the real mastermind behind it.

After all, at that time, the brothers Xia Sang and Giovanni had all had rumors of affair, and with the actions of Jeffrey's naughty child, it may not be impossible to plan a revenge murder with great courage.

When Ma Ximo thought of this, he became a little nervous. He looked at the few entourages near his carriage before he felt relieved.

"Madam, I can imagine how it feels like to live alone in such a large house, so if you have any hidden secrets, please tell me, I am very happy to help you understand."

Maximo comforted Xia Sang with a tone that looked more like a noble than a priest, until he felt that the two of them had been standing at the gate for too long, and perhaps Jeffrey might have to start a fuss again, so he reluctantly said goodbye and left.

But Massimo was not in a hurry to go home or go to the Vatican. He asked the carriage to go south along the avenue and finally stopped in front of a palace full of busy scenes.

The expansion of the Marino Palace is still underway. According to some builders involved in the construction of the palace, it will take at least 5 years or more to complete the Marino Palace.

In fact, this has been a very short time. The manpower, financial and time spent on building a palace in this era is unimaginable.

The Sforza family once built a very beautiful palace in the city of Rome. It was only about 40 years since the foundation was laid until the palace was completed. With the decline of the Sforza family, the people who finally moved into the Sforza palace were the upstarts of the city of Rome, the metropolis of Tuscany and Romagna.

However, the Palace of Marino still plays a very important role now.

During the period when Alexander was not in Rome, the Palace of Marino became the site of all the "Gonbrays" people coming to Rome.

Whether it was the messengers sent by Alexander to Rome or the ordinary messengers of trade alliances, people were used to meeting each other in the Palace of Marino and conveying their own information.

If the Carolingan is a place where Alexander publicly obtains information from the entire European, then the Marino Palace is now gradually becoming an internal intelligence transfer station for the "Gambreys" in Rome.

Mahimo's arrival caused a stir in the guards of Marino Palace. People all know that this Metropolitan is now a hot figure in the city of Rome.

Many people want to win over him so that they can make their reputation stronger. Especially now that the Pope's throne is hanging in the air, it will undoubtedly be a huge reward to win the support of such a bishop with a significant influence.

But to people's surprise, the staunch friend of the Duke of Roman Thesia seemed to have an ambiguous attitude towards whether to support the Duke's father-in-law becoming the pope. Some people even said that the Bishop had publicly opposed the deposition of Alexander VI.

Mahimo walked up the steps. He had been here many times and had contacted the messengers and officials from all over the country. But now he suddenly felt that maybe the Marino Palace needed a master.

"Someone has to let everyone know what they should do," Mahimo was so conceiving. If Alexander pointed them in the direction of progress, then what they need now is someone who can lead them in this direction.

Especially in Rome, as the size of the trade alliance is getting bigger and bigger, Mahimo feels that someone needs to come forward.

Walking into a room, Massimo first closed the door and then found a few keys from his body.

He opened a dark cabinet hidden on the wall. This cabinet had a very complex mechanism. Without these carefully configured keys, or if he didn't know the correct order to open all locks, once he touched the mechanism, the medicinal liquid hidden in the dark cabinet mezzanine would quickly overflow the dark cabinet, and the things stored in it would be completely destroyed in an instant.

Mahimo carefully opened the cabinet door, which stored important letters from him and Alexander and others.

The sender actually did not know whose letters would eventually fall into. Some were even delivered to the door by some irrelevant people. The servants who received the letters just threw the letters into an ordinary box that looked nothing strange, and then waited for a special person to deliver the letters to the recipient in a classified manner.

Mahimo walked to the table with the wax table, then sat down and began to patiently decipher the contents of the letter using the method given to him by Alexander.

The password will be reset every once in a while, and the password index in everyone's hand has become the key to deciphering the password.

The password index of no two people is the same and duplicate, which prevents leakage due to various reasons to the greatest extent, and the password index used for compilation and deciphering are different.

It is this series of complex and changeable cautious methods that allow Alexander and his men to keep their own secrets to the greatest extent, and at the same time they spared no effort to try to grasp other people's secrets.

At least now Mahimo knew that Jeffrey had colluded with Ferdinand. Although he knew that reporting all this to Alexander might make the Pope very unhappy, Mahimo did not intend to consider more about the Pope's mood.

However, a letter that looked inconspicuous attracted Maximo's attention. He knew that such letters with secret notes were obviously very important, so Maximo carefully opened the letter and read it carefully.

To his surprise, the letter came from the distant opposite the Mediterranean, and the writer obviously did not write the contents of the letter to him alone.

"The Ottoman civil war was much more cruel and intense than we thought. I followed Ismayi's army and headed towards the heart of the Ottoman Empire. What surprised me was that I saw many slaughtered tribes and civilians who had been deprived of their freedom along the way..."

The letter was written by O'Connie, and she was asking for help.

"Their civilians may be grateful to the canonal rules for prohibiting the use of co-believers as slaves, but their current situation is no different from that of slaves. These are the measures taken by Selim to eradicate the sectarians of Mehmet. This civil war for the throne of Sultan has been unable to stop because of the critical moment, even if an enemy has invaded their country at this time..."

"So I have to ask for more support from the Safavi again, because Ismay has decided to launch the biggest attack since his invasion of the Ottomans, and if successful, he can pose a huge threat in the eastern part of the Ottomans, which may cause Selim to turn his target to him, so I need all the help you can provide."

Looking at the letter, Ma Ximo couldn't help but immerse himself in the air.

Over the years, he has gone from a wandering monk who only knows how to be a woman's bedroom to a powerful metropolis. Perhaps one day he may even become the pope, which makes Mahimo's vision become incomparable to the past.

Of course, O'Connie's letter should have been sent to Castilla. I believe Alexander should have made a decision.

However, Maximo suddenly felt that this matter seemed to be a good opportunity to take advantage of.

So he prepared the paper and pen, and after a little thought about the wording, he began to write:

"Dear Cardinal, you are so worried and trepidated in your busy schedule. But there are two things I have heard by chance. One is that the Pope's son Jeffrey seems to be in contact with Ferdinand, King Aragon,

Another thing is that the Venetians seem to try to regain their lost territory by using the Ottoman civil war,

But as far as I know, the Venetians' alliance with the Ottomans may attract a lot of opposition and controversy, and they just joined the neutral alliance of Lombardy not long ago. Therefore, dear adults, I think they need your help..."
