Since ancient times, there has been a kind of person that exists in any country or nation. This kind of person has a relatively accurate general term called "Leading Party".

Maybe it is out of interests, maybe it is out of personal grudges, or simply because of unsuccessful ambitions, some people will always take on the promising profession of "leading the way".

Today, the recognized leader in Italy is Juliano de la Rovere.

The Bishop Genoa finally chose to defect to the French because of his grudges with Alexander VI, and now it seems that he is doing well.

Although the bishop himself was still with Charles VIII, who was sulking for the defeat in Nice, his family had already made public appearances in Rome. Even though the French army was defeated by the coalition forces, the people of the Lovere family were still swaggering in the city of Rome and even started business with a local rich man from Naples.

However, this is understandable. Although the French were invaders, the relationship between the bush cannot be said to be completely unrelated to Italy. Moreover, because everyone is Christian, even if they are killed, it is still the Europeans' own business. To use a slightly inappropriate sentence, this is called "the meat is rotten and the pot is rotten", after all, it is not cheaper for outsiders.

However, colluding with the Ottomans, acting as a guide for the pagans, and even hiding an army of pagans, is completely different.

When he heard the man say that the men hiding in the Col camp had a flag with a crescent moon and stars, Alexander first thought was that these people were Ottomans.

This is because this pattern is indeed too easy to remind people of the empire that can make the whole of Europe uneasy now.

But then he felt that this was a bit ridiculous. After all, maybe a few Ottomans could mingle in Europe to search and spy, but an army could not hide it.

And the man said that those people were Europeans, which made him even more absurd.

But who were those people and why did Columbo hide them from people not know, but Alexander couldn't figure it out for a while.

And thinking about how Columbo was a Milan nobleman, I really couldn't think of the reason why he would collude with the Ottomans at all costs.

"What should I do if sir," Paul Busacco asked from the side. Busacco has been silent all the time, but now he can't help but feel a little angry because of this unexpected news. "Do you want to send someone to tell Carlo to let him take people up the mountain?"

Carlo's army is now stationed on a platform halfway up the mountain not far from the mine. Busacco only followed Alexander with only a dozen hunting guards. The news he heard now obviously made Busacco feel a crisis.

Alexander shook his head gently, and he continued to ask the man: "Tell me where that valley is, and then I will let my people take you out of here."

The man nodded nervously, perhaps because he had told the secret that he had been stuck in his heart. He seemed much more relaxed and began to worry about himself in the future.

Alexander listened carefully to the man's description. He had no map in his hand, so of course he could not know the specific location just through the description of the man, but the man's leg injury made him unable to be a guide at all.

The man seemed to know that he could not explain it clearly, and thinking that the lord in front of him might let him be his guide, the man quickly said: "Sir, someone under the mine master should know that place, because I have seen someone who has entered that valley."

Alexander's heart moved, he looked at Busako, and the captain of the guard had already thought of someone, the guy who had been knocked out by his men before.

"I hope that guy hasn't woken up yet." Busako ordered the guard who had fallen to intercept the tail to go back to find the unlucky guy immediately, and then he looked at the couple and looked at Alexander.

"Let them follow us first." Alexander understood what Busako meant. He naturally would not let the couple go before he found out the truth or falsehood. And even if the matter was true, it would not be possible to let them go immediately. Columbo was a Milan nobleman. If he wanted to prove what conspiracy he was doing, he always needed some evidence. The couple might be useful at that time.

The man seemed to argue something, but when he saw the terrible look of the guards beside him, he swallowed his words back.

"Don't worry, as long as you are obedient, the lord will not treat you badly."

When Busako said this, Alexander instantly felt like he was a typical villain.

The two guards came back soon, but what was frustrating was that the person who was knocked unconscious by them and left on the roadside was gone. They probably woke up and fled soon after they left.

"That person will tell us," the man immediately became nervous, and he was even more worried that Alexander would let him be a guide. "My legs cannot move, and it is enough for me to lift me here."

"Master," the woman said with hesitation and fear. The man was stunned to see the woman slowly stood up and looked at Alexander timidly. "I may be able to take you to that valley. Although I don't know that place, I at least know about it."

The man wanted to open his mouth and talk, but he looked at the soldiers around him and still closed his mouth.

"What's your name?" Alexander asked casually, but unexpectedly, the woman's face suddenly changed, and the man next to him showed a look of anger or panic mixed with.

It seemed like he had misunderstood something, Alexander shook his head secretly, but he didn't want to waste time because of this little thing, so he waved his hand casually and made my indifferent gesture and ignored the uneasy couple, and took Busacco to the side.

"Sir, that guy who was knocked out might have gone back to report the news," Busako whispered. "Maybe you should meet Carlo and the others right now."

Alexander shook his head slowly. When he heard that the stalker disappeared, his first thought was to go down the mountain and meet Carlo immediately.

He believed that even if there was an army hidden in the valley, unless Columbo completely broke with the Bogia family, there would be no danger as long as he returned to his own people. And even if he had to confront him head-on, unless the strange army was the Ottoman Sultan's unstoppable Royal Guard, it would be possible to protect him from danger even if he could not win even if he could not win.

But then he felt that things might not have reached that bad.

When the person who followed him was knocked out, he didn't know that they were coming to see this man, so although it was a bit too much to knock the person he photographed, no one would like someone to follow him sneakily. It's not a big deal to teach a lesson after discovering it's not a big deal.

Even if it's just a tail that makes people faint, it's already very polite.

Thinking of this, Alexander finally made up his mind.

"Bussacco, follow that woman to find the camp. I'm going back to the house in Columbo." Seeing Bussacco speaking, Alexander waved his hand to stop him. "Don't say it, I think there should be no problem when I go back. If I leave like this, it will cause suspicion. But I'll send someone to tell Carlo to prepare, and you'll leave me your musket and ammunition,"

But when Busako looked at Alexander's unquestionable expression, he could only take off the musket on his body and hand it to the guards who were going back with Alexander. Because he was wearing a cold-proof cloak, no one noticed that these people not only had several muskets on them, but also were covered with bags filled with projectiles and medicine bags.

"Listen, if you find that place, don't act rashly. Paul, I know you are a hunter. I want you to continue to be a hunter now, and the enemy is prey, so don't disturb them easily. Do you understand?"

Paul Busako nodded, and his heart suddenly felt a little warm.

Speaking of which, since he followed the Lord of the Lord, Paul really thought about the time he had hunted before. The expectation of waiting for prey in the dark and the excitement of watching the prey walk into the trap made him miss it.

However, it is not bad to follow the lord, especially after seeing the prosperity of Rome and experiencing several battles, Paul sometimes wonders if he could still tolerate that ordinary but uninterrupted life if he was asked to return to Agri and continue hunting or work in the fields.

But now Paul suddenly realized that he not only had a chance to revisit his hunting career, but also could continue to follow the Lord, which made him very satisfied.

But this time the prey was not a wild boar, a black bear, but a person like him.

Just as Alexander was thinking about the countermeasures, Connie O Malindao was looking at a helpless boy standing opposite him with a gloomy face.

The boy had a very obvious bulge on his head, which was hit by the Agris with his fists very unceremoniously. His clothes were also dirty. Originally, the mine was covered with dirty coal ash, and now his clothes looked even more miserable.

"I didn't expect them to find me. Their people are really alert," the boy seemed to want to argue, but looking at Connie Ou's heavy face and lowered his voice, he asked carefully, "I messed up, right?"

"Yes," Connie Ou said with an unpleasant look, "Knowing that someone is following him, that Kombrey must be very annoyed now."

"What should we do?" the boy asked with some frustration. "I really didn't expect his men to be so careful. I've never been discovered before."

"Because you've met some fools before," Connie Ou snorted, she stood up and walked back and forth, and she kept muttering herself from time to time, then she stopped and asked, "Did you notice where he went before you were discovered?"

The boy recalled it and said, "It seems they just walked casually, but it seems they were going down the mountain."

Going down the mountain? Connie Ou was slightly stunned. She frowned first. When she saw the boy touching the bulge on his head with his hand and slightly cracking his mouth, she thought for a while and stretched out her hands: "Come here."

The boy hesitated for a moment and walked over. When Connie O's hand touched his forehead, the boy was so painful that he bared his teeth.

"Does it hurt?" Connie Ou asked softly, and when she saw the boy nodding with a bitter face, her face became even more gloomy. Don't worry, I won't let that Kumbrey go. If he blocks us, I will get rid of him."

"Same as those people before?" the boy asked in a low voice.

Connie Ou glanced at the boy, nodded slowly and said, "That's right, just like those people before, others can't ruin our affairs, nor can this Kumbrey do."

What the boy opened his mouth and said, Connie O's had already continued: "Listen to Julian, you go and take some medicine now, and go back to your house. If that Kombree comes back I don't want him to see you, otherwise it will be very troublesome."

"Will he come back?" The boy seemed to be startled. "The people under him are very fierce. I'll go find Columbo and let him protect you."

"Don't go fools," Connie Ou grabbed the boy in annoyed manner. "Do you think I can't deal with a Sicilian country bumpkin?"

"But……"

The boy was a little worried about what he wanted to say, but he was interrupted by Connie O's wave of his hand.

"Okay, leave here soon, maybe that Kombrey will be back soon."

It seemed to be to verify Connie O's words, the maid who had been standing by the window suddenly whispered in panic: "Miss, that Master Gumbrey is back, right outside."

Connie Ou immediately pushed the boy to the wall and opened a secret door to push him in. As soon as the secret door was closed, Alexander had already walked into the square hall.

Connie O stood in front of the secret door and looked at Alexander expressionlessly. Noting that Alexander's face was not good, she slowly walked to the couch in front of the painting and sat down.

"Can I know what happened, sir, I don't think you look very good."

Connie Ou asked calmly, noticing the changes in Alexander's face without blinking, and at the same time she thought in her heart that I could not let a Sicilian country bumpkin ruin my business, even if this person might not be easy to deal with.

"Madam, I want to know who is staring at my stern," Alexander interrupted Connie O's words without hesitation. "Maybe this needs to be answered by Lord Columbo, so please tell me where he is now."

Connie O's mouth was slightly tense. She didn't like this feeling of being forced at all, especially after she thought everything was under control, she didn't like it even more.

"Sir, your attitude is too unreasonable," Connieo stood up and said angrily. "Maybe you think it's a pleasure to show off your power to a woman who has lost her family protection and everything, but I won't let you do it so casually."

As he said that, Connie O turned around and was about to walk out of the hall.

But Alexander reached out and grabbed her arm.

Connie Ou was shocked. She thought that maybe Alexander would come to question her because he was angry, but she would always be a little worried.

But now that he grabbed his arm, Connie O couldn't help but feel nervous.

"I think you have to give an explanation, madam." Alexander said coldly. For some reason, he felt that the woman in front of him seemed to be hiding something, or that her anger and indifference were like some kind of concealment, which made Alexander feel that maybe she was not just coerced by Columbo as she said, but knew more.

Connie Ou looked at Alexander with a hard body. After a while, she suddenly smiled softly.
