Chapter 65 Connie's Secret (Part 2)
When his body fell to the ground, Alexander didn't even have time to exclaim, except for his instinctively raising his hand to grab it up.
The moment he was hanging under his feet, his hand tightly grasped something. With a faint scream, Alexander's body, which was originally falling, suddenly stopped. His body seemed to hit the tilted ground, but then a very heavy thing hit him directly, and he screamed in pain and rolled down.
There was a long slope below. Alexander kept rolling along the slope, causing him to instinctively hug the person who had hit him before like a drowning person, and kept rolling down the slope.
With a "thump", Alexander fell into the water, and the cold stream water poured into his mouth, which also made his dizzy head wake up a lot.
"Ah~" Alexander spitted out the water from his mouth with great force. He wanted to move upwards. Only then did he realize that the person who was rolling downhill was pressing on his body.
The stream was not deep, and he was pressed down by the man, and most of his body was soaked in water. Although the water temperature was extremely cold, at least it meant that he was still alive.
Or it was the slope that saved his life. Although it was hit hard, it just rolled down. If it fell directly, it would be hard to say.
Alexander tried to move, and he was really worried that he would be injured. If he was injured in such a place, he would be killed at any time if he was not treated in time.
Then the pain from his body made him moan, and at the same time he felt relieved. At least although he rolled down the slope all the way, it should be that there was no big problem.
Alexander moved his body and seemed to rub against the person on his body. With a "humph" sound from the darkness, Alexander was stunned at first, and then suddenly chuckled.
Alexander was actually very annoyed. He never expected that he would be fooled by a woman, and he was deceived by someone so simply.
But the fact is that he not only brought him into a trap, but also almost lost his life. This laughter is even more ridiculous to himself.
But the laughter turned into ridicule and gloating at her in the ears of Connie O Malindao, who was also dazzled by the dizziness at this time.
People who want to plot against others have even plotted against themselves. Is there anything stupider than this?
Connie Ou moved her body hard to get up, but her skirt became extremely heavy because of the water, which made her straighten up, but when she stepped, she couldn't move because the wet clothes were completely stuck to her body, and her body was unbalanced and fell to the ground.
She instinctively reached out to support her, but pressed her on Alexander's chest. As Alexander let out a "Ouch" cry, her hands slipped and she turned over and fell next to Alexander.
"What is this?" Because he noticed that the stream was not deep, Alexander simply lay on his back and soaked his body in the water without moving. In fact, he couldn't move at this time. The pain in his whole body had not recovered for a while. Although he had not suffered any fatal injuries, it still took some time for his body to recover a little before he could move.
It was pitch black all around, but the sound made by Connie O have just made him know who she is.
Unexpectedly, Alexander moved his legs in the water again. The cold water could make his mind clear as soon as possible.
"You are really brave. Do you think my guards will let you and Columbo go if you kill me?" Alexander asked curiously. This was something he could never have imagined. After all, he was surrounded by several guards, and the army led by Carlo was at the foot of the mountain. If something happened to him, even if Columbo was a nobleman of Milan, he would be revenge by them after all.
"What does Columbo's life and death have to do with me?" Connie O's teeth were a little cold. She wanted to hold her shoulders tightly, but only then did she realize that one of her arms was pressed by Alexander, and she let him pillow behind her head like a pillow. "Pick your head away from my arm." Connie O said unhappily.
"This is good, otherwise my ears will get water," Alexander didn't mean to move. Although there was still darkness in front of him, Connie O's eyes flashed slightly. He could still see "Even if you didn't fall down with me, my guards wouldn't let you go. What did you think?"
After hearing Connie O's silent answer for a moment, Alexander said to himself: "Let me think about it, you must have a way to escape at that time, and we have my people in front and behind. I remember you were holding a ring by the wall at that time. I thought that was the mechanism to launch this trap, but aren't you afraid that my guards will take revenge next?" Speaking of this, Alexander held up and turned his head and looked at Connie O's in the dark. "Unless you have a way to get out of the secret passage, and it can also ensure that my guards will not chase after you."
As he said that, Alexander paused slightly, and then said in a slow but affirmative tone: "You have a helper to get you out, right? And this person should be the person around you. If it weren't that maid, then the boy who followed me was knocked out by my people."
Connie's breathing became slightly heavier in the darkness. This scene reminded Alexander of the scene when the woman came to visit late at night. The two of them could feel the other person's breathing because they were very close, but the scene was not at all beautiful or ambiguous. Alexander knew that the guards outside must be going crazy, and both Paul Busacco and Carlo had to face this sudden change.
Whether it is Columbo or the mysterious army the miner mentioned, no matter what they did before, but now with an accident in Alexander, everything may catch everyone off guard.
"Tell me everything now, otherwise it will not be of any benefit to you." Feeling that his body had recovered, and even because he was a little numb in the cold water, Alexander stood up. It was obvious that the slope was not too steep, but he didn't understand why the Connie O's family wanted to build the house in such a place, as if he was deliberately covering up everything underground.
Connie Ou struggled to get up nervously, her clothes stuck to her body, making it impossible for her to move. Although it was not the first time she was here, Darkness and the man in front of her made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Connie Ou wanted to push back, but his arm was caught by Alexander, and it was obvious that he was guarding against the woman who would escape in the dark.
"Madam, I was probably too polite to you before. Now tell me everything, otherwise I wouldn't care to kill you here."
Alexander grabbed Connie O's neck with his other hand, which made the woman who wanted to pretend to be calm suddenly panic. She struggled hard to get rid of it, but then she didn't make a "guru" sound in her mouth because of her rapid breathing.
She kept slapping Alexander's hand until she finally made a vague cry of pain and fear.
Alexander let go of his hand, and he let the woman slip helplessly to the ground, then squatted down and looked at the blurry shadow in the darkness: "Listen, I will not have any kindness to the enemy, and you are my enemy. If you don't want to die here, tell the truth."
"I'm not your enemy," Connie O's breathing heavily. She never expected a man to treat her with such rude means. In her impression, even Columbo had never hit her. "I believe that I'm not all this to deal with you."
"Who is that, and what's going on with the army you hid in that valley?" At this time, Alexander knew that there was no need to hide the fact that he had discovered the army, but what is really important is not these. "But let's leave here first, don't say you don't know how to get out, and then tell me everything on the way."
Alexander clearly heard Connie O's sound when he talked about the army. Although it might be because of the pain caused by the trauma of his throat, Alexander felt that it was more like a temporary loss of composure after being noticed.
It was obvious that the accident of falling into the trap he set made the woman's emotions a little uncontrollable. If it were believed that this woman would not be noticed so easily.
"Let's get out of here first," Alexander grabbed Connie Ou in the dark, feeling the smooth and cold on his hands. He knew it should be her exposed shoulder. "Believe that if I can't go in, you'll catch a cold soon, and then you'll probably die of pneumonia."
Connie O's body trembled clearly, and she was obviously frightened by these words. In fact, Alexander herself was also very worried. Nowadays, any minor illness or disaster may be killed. This is also the reason why he was so cold that it was unbearable after he fell into the water, but he still did not come up from the water immediately.
"Tell me where this is?" Alexander asked urged. He felt that if the unusual behavior of this woman was shown, she might have done something if she calmed down, so she could only keep pressing and urging her to keep her nervous.
"This is the mine below Mount Sunnylo," Connieo shivered, and at this time she began to feel cold. "But this is not a coal mine, it is a copper mine." Then she added, "This is the place where mining was started in the Roman era."
Alexander unexpectedly lowered his "ah" and never thought that this dark place was actually a product of the Roman era.
However, this made him feel somewhat relieved. With the technology of the Roman era, he did not believe that the ancient Romans would dig the deeper mines, and when Connie O's tone was calm, they should not be in too much danger.
"Are you very surprised why your guards have not come down to save you?" Connie Ou smiled again in the darkness. "This is because they fell into the trap like us, but the others are just real traps, and you are a little unlucky, but you fell into this well that leads to the mine below."
"But you fell into the trap you set yourself, what's that?" Alexander sneered and sarcastically, then thought about it carefully and said, "Your companion is that maid. I think I really ignored her before, because Columbo scared her when he first saw her."
Feeling that Connie O's body was not due to the coldness or the slight shaking of his own inference, Alexander continued: "That boy came back to report you. Since then, you have decided to get rid of me, but there are my guards, so someone must help you. You just said that Columbo's life and death has nothing to do with you, so all this should be done by you."
Connie Ou's body shook even harder, and her mouth made a vague and low voice.
Alexander shook his head secretly and reached out to hold her.
"Take off the clothes, and you will soon get pneumonia in wet clothes." Alexander said as he took off his clothes himself, but one of his hands was always pressed on Connie O's shoulders. He had to admit that after suffering a loss, he was actually a little afraid of the woman playing tricks.
Connie Ou started to move. After a while, a gentle sound of undressing came from the darkness. This sound should have caused some thoughts, but the coldness made people unable to think about it at all.
"You are not Caesar Porgia's man, are you?" Connie O'O suddenly said in the darkness, because of the cold, her voice was slightly rushing, but obviously she had calmed down. "But I heard that you helped Caesar gain rule in Rome."
"The news you hear is not that accurate," Alexander pushed lightly, and he could feel the touch of Connie O's smooth back in his hand. "Now let's leave here."
Connie Ou let out a strange laugh. She groped forward in the darkness and said, "I have been to this place many times, so many times that I don't even remember. I am very familiar with everything here. I believe that although this place is not far from the exit, if anyone can take you out of here, it's only me."
Alexander pressed his hand slightly hard on the woman's shoulder. In fact, he was a little nervous at this time because he heard the threat revealed in Connie O's words, which made him believe that this woman could still threaten him like this at this time. This woman must have some support.
"If I take you out, can you help me?" Connie Ou suddenly stopped and turned to Alexander. As a result, Alexander felt a raised part of her body gently pressing against his chest. "I know you helped Caesar with power, but I don't think that's enough, otherwise you wouldn't be kicked out of Rome at this time. If you can help me, I'll repay you."
Alexander was a little surprised. Of course, he knew his situation very well, just like when he was driven away by the Sicilians, he was also driven out by the Romans.
The only difference between this is that compared to his helpless departure when he was in Sicily, he still had the opportunity to return to Rome, and this opportunity should come soon.
But Alexander did not expect that his situation was pointed out by such a completely strange woman. This surprised him and had to know Connie O again.
"What do you want to do?" Alexander asked.
