The Roman City Hall still stands on one side of the town hall square, with several arched doors forming a semi-circular structure around one side of the square with the shape of the town hall, but in the open space of the square, the gallows that had been erected before have been replaced by a construction site, and a group of workers are busy working, and Alexander knows that it will not be long before a splendid marble fountain will be erected here.

At this time, Caesar had not only moved into the town hall, but also chose the original Scharon room as his office, in this room, it is said that many famous nobles worked here in the early years, and two of them became popes.

When the French were at their proudest when they took Rome, the office became the seat of the "King of Rome", so much so that the corridors outside the office were filled with people trying to get in, and it is said that even when working here, people could always see Charlon wearing his black armor.

The hallways were still full of people standing now, and though they might still be the same people, the people they wanted to please in the office had become.

Alexander, who had led Skop directly through the corridor to the door, felt the angry stare of the passing crowd, and it was obvious that people were annoyed by this guy who suddenly cut in line, but Alexander could only smile helplessly at them, and he was quickly attracted by a squire standing at the door.

The young Pelotto Caderon stood at the door, and when he saw Alexander, he bowed slightly and saluted very decently: "Your Excellency, please wait a moment, and I will inform the Bishop." ”

Alexander nodded, he was a little strange how Pelotto Caderón was here, this favored retinue of Alexander VI never left the Pope's side, but now it seems that he became Caesar's retinue, but if this is the case, then how could he be sent by Alexander VI to serve as the liaison between the father and daughter after the divorce of Lucrezia and Giovanni Sforza, and then how could he be the father of Lucrezia's first child?

Is there something wrong with this?

Alexander wondered a little inexplicably, he was not worrying about other people's affairs, but who Lucrezia's child's father was, and it was likely that many major changes would determine the future of the Borgia family.

Only by understanding these can we know the intricate relationship between the family, and we also know that if we understand this, it is possible not to make wrong decisions due to errors in judgment later.

Although Skop didn't tell him the reason on the way here, Alexander could still sense that the people he said he wanted to use himself or those who didn't want him to be used were all from the Borgia family.

Skop was an old slipper, and he didn't reveal anything useful except for the first remark, but kept boasting about how forever the mercenaries he had brought with him along the way, or all sorts of rumors and slanders he had heard about some Roman nobles, and Alexander had not been able to get any valuable news from him.

Pelotto Caderon soon came out, and he reached for Alexander to enter, then closed the heavy door and continued to stand in front of it with his hands clasped together.

Looking at the marble sculpture of "Barbarian Heroes Plundering the Priestess of the Temple of Apollo" on the huge pedestal in the room, Alexander couldn't help but wonder if in the eyes of the Roman conquerors of the past generations, the city was the most satisfying trophy in their eyes, just like the women they plundered.

Caesar was busy, and with the help of his secretary next to him, he was trying to find the most important priorities from the mountains of documents, but even then, looking at the number of documents that had been deliberately selected, Alexander felt that it was a lot of work.

Seeing Alexander, Caesar just pointed to the side and motioned for him to wait first, and then bury his head in work.

It can be seen that he is not deliberately coy, but indeed very busy, during which Alexander saw him more than once because he was thirsty to pick up the cup next to him and take a sip, but it didn't take long for the cup to be empty, but he was still used to picking up the empty cup behind him several times, and then put it down again.

Alexander was not ready to refill the cup that Caesar had served, not because he couldn't put it down, but because he thought of Caesar's famous nickname, he thought it would be better not to mess with the things here, otherwise it would be fun if he gave him the famous ancestral poison of the Borgia family, Canterella, as a drink.

Caesar's efficiency is very fast, even if the number of documents on the table is desperate, but he can make decisions quickly, and it can be seen that he is not perfunctory, but makes a decision after carefully reading the above contents, and the secretary next to him seems to be very strong, and after Caesar has approved the documents, he immediately puts them in different places, and then after a while, he rings his handbell and calls the servants waiting in the next room to send the different documents out.

Alexander sat bored and watched, and he could not help but admit that Caesar was indeed a worthy ruler, and that the other nobles in Rome were very unbearable compared to him.

On the way here he saw more than once that the Romans had begun to liquidate the French, some Roman nobles and their men were looking for the French who had attacked the lone ones, and some were surrounding the French defenders who were still unwilling to flee and stubbornly guarding the houses, and even in the town hall, many other members of the Council of Order were busy scouring the spoils that the French had not yet had time to take away, believing that those things would not return to their original owners.

At this time, Caesar was at work, and he was alone in all the work that the city could do in the chaotic period that would inevitably arise between the fall and the liberation, and it was clear that Caesar really did not want this brief period of chaos in the city to become an irremediable turmoil.

At last, Caesar stopped, not because the work was over, but because he had run out of replacement barrels, and just as the secretary went to the next room to get the pen, Caesar straightened up and shook his shoulders before beckoning to Alexander.

"You're back sooner than I thought," Caesar looked at Alexander across the table, and when the secretary walked in, he waved his hand to signal him to step back first, and when there were only two people in the room, Caesar stared at Alexander's eyes, "I told you that you did something very unexpected this time, didn't you?" ”

Alexander, who already knew that he would be asked about this, just smiled indifferently: "I went to earn some money, you know that I spend a lot of money on the Marino Palace." ”

"Oh, you made some money by rescuing that Frenchman Charlon," Caesar pouted, "but do you know that because of your actions, the coalition's plan to attack the city of Rome has been disrupted, and I have received a notice from the coalition here, do you want to know what it says?" ”

Seeing Alexander looking at a document on the table he was pointing to, Caesar pushed it in front of Alexander with two fingers.

"They demanded that the Romans arrest you at once and wait for them to enter the city and be judged by them."

"I'm just following other people's orders, and if I want to be arrested, it won't be me, at least not the first one." Alexander said disapprehantly.

"The people of the Kerovere family didn't make so much trouble, and Konstantin didn't go to capture the imperial palace minister and ransack the logistics camp of the coalition army." A strange look flashed in Caesar's eyes as he said this, and it was more of an excitement than a duty, "I wonder how you did it, I heard that you even defeated an entire heavy cavalry with your country soldiers, and even destroyed almost all the artillery of the coalition army, to be honest, I didn't even believe it when I heard it. ”

"It's just luck."

Alexandre said modestly, in fact, he was telling the truth, even at this time Alexander still did not think that this victory was entirely dependent on the bravery and combat skills of the Agri, on the contrary, he felt that after this battle, the Agri had exposed too many shortcomings, and the reason why they were able to defeat the heavy cavalry was not so much the superiority of the Agri themselves, but the fact that those heavy cavalry could not quickly adapt to this new tactic after facing the combination of the traditional cold weapon phalanx and the ascendant hot weapon, and even defeat caused by chaos after suffering unexpected casualties.

Caesar was obviously not satisfied with Alexander's answer, and he stared at Alexander for a moment before nodding noncommittally.

"But you're in a lot of trouble," Caesar leaned back, then got up and walked to a secret cabinet and took out a bottle of wine and a glass, and poured them in front of himself and Alexander, respectively, "I heard that you are engaged to Barendi of the Roveret family?" ”

Hearing this, Alexander couldn't help but smile slightly bitterly, he believed that the two news about his engagement and Constantine's presence on the battlefield would spread in Rome at the same time, and it was estimated that this time the Romans would have a good conversation.

"Do you think the Rovie family will help you solve the immediate trouble?" Caesar continued to ask, and without waiting for an answer, he continued, "You are very clever Alexander, you should know that this is impossible, the people of the Rovere family do not have that courage, they will not offend the nobles of the coalition for you." ”

Alexander nodded thoughtfully, he knew that although Caesar would say this because of his hostility to the Roveret family, but in fact, after the French were driven away, the people of the Roveret family did immediately be honest for a long time, although they were still the French kept their eyebrows, but at the same time, they were very aware of the current affairs and chose to cooperate with the anti-French Holy Alliance.

This is one of the main reasons why Louis XII was no longer so friendly to the Rovere family when he succeeded Charles VIII in his invasion of Italy, and as a result, Giuliano della Rovere, who later became Pope, completely turned against the French.

However, Alexander was not very worried about whether the Rovere family would help him, because he had already thought of these things before, so he had naturally thought of countermeasures.

It's just that what he wants to know is why Caesar cares about him, after all, the vague rift between them and Caesar has ended the "friendship" between them that was destined not to last long.

Probably knowing the reason, I almost knew his purpose.

"Can you help me?" Alexander decided that he was destined to attack, and that was a good question for him who was feeling uneasy about his situation.

Sure enough, Caesar smiled, his smile was sincere, and his clear eyes looked serious.

"I can help you, but it's also for myself, and I should say that we're helping each other," Caesar didn't seem to hide his purpose, "You've seen it, the defeat of the French is imminent, but there are many troubles ahead." Caesar said, glancing at the still piled up of papers on the table next to him, "When the coalition enters Rome, I want them to see a Rome that has saved itself and not a sick person waiting to be saved, because that would not be a good thing for all of us." ”

Caesar's words made Alexander nod, he could understand the reason why Caesar said this, completely simple liberation would put Rome in a very embarrassing situation, just think about the history Gonzalo once publicly asked Alexander VI to show him gratitude for being liberated, you can understand Caesar's mood at this time.

After all, the so-called alien liberators, no matter how high-sounding their reasons, cannot hide the fact that they are in fact conquerors.

A city that is not only complete, but also capable of self-preservation has a distinctly different status in the face of the liberators, and in this respect Alexander is perfectly able to understand the mind of Caesar, or the Borgias.

But what does this have to do with me? Alexander asked cautiously, "So what do you think I should do?" ”

"That's what I'm talking about helping each other," Alexander said, "and at this time, my army is going to protect the Vatican and the Pope, and I have to make sure that the French don't do anything crazy to threaten them with defeat before they leave, so that I can't ensure order in the rest of the city of Rome, you should have seen it on the way here, the situation in the city is already too bad, if we can't stop it as soon as possible, maybe we really have to wait for the coalition forces to liberate us." ”

Alexander nodded silently, he knew that what Caesar said was the truth, and that Rome was indeed on the verge of losing control.

"I need someone who can help me, an ancient Roman tribune, whose infantry can quickly quell any kind of riot that may occur in the complicated city streets, and at the same time, because there are enough cavalry, and can get to the place of the accident at any time," Caesar looked at Alexander, "what do you think of your people?" ”

Alexander was a little stunned, he couldn't help but admit that Caesar was really not simple, let him say this, Alexander found that with the terrible lethality that dense fire could produce in narrow streets, the Agri musketeers were like an army prepared for urban warfare.

But is that what Caesar was for?

So what is the explanation of Skop's previous words that sounded like a warning?

While Alexander was pondering, Caesar had already continued: "But Rome is too big, and your army is a little thin, so I have decided to arrange for a man to work with you, my brother-in-law Giovanni Sforza, and I am sure you will be able to work well together." ”

Things really weren't that simple, and when he heard Giovanni Sforza's name, Alexander immediately had this thought in his heart.
