Chapter 65: Connie's Secret (Part II)

When his body fell to the ground, Alexander didn't even have time to let out an exclamation, except for instinctively raising his hand to grab it upwards.

At the moment when his feet were hanging in the air, his hand grasped something tightly, and with a faint exclamation, Alexander's originally falling body suddenly froze, and his body seemed to hit the sloping ground, but then a very heavy thing fell directly on him, and he rolled down with a cry of pain.

There was a long slope below, and Alexander kept rolling along the slope, and the constant rolling made him instinctively hold on to the man who had hit him like a drowning man, and keep tumbling down the slope.

With a "poof", Alexander fell into the water, and the cold stream water poured directly into his mouth, and at the same time made his dizzy head wake up a lot.

"Ah~" Alexander spat out the water in his mouth hard, he wanted to move upward, only then did he realize that he was still pressed against the person who was rolling down the hill together.

The stream was not deep, and he was pressed under the man, and most of his body was soaked in the water, although the temperature of the water was unusually cold, but at least it showed that he was still alive.

Or rather, it was the slope that saved his life, although it didn't hit lightly, but after all, it was just rolling down, and if it fell directly, it would be hard to say.

Alexander tried to move, he was really worried about his injuries, which could kill him if he didn't get timely treatment in a place like this.

Then the pain from his body made him groan, and at the same time, he was secretly relieved in his heart, at least although he rolled down the slope all the way and caused pain all over his body, there should be no major problem.

Alexander's movement seemed to rub against the man on his body, and with a "hum" in the darkness, Alexander first shook his head, and then suddenly let out a chuckle.

Alexander was actually very annoyed, he never thought that he would fall for a woman, and he was deceived by others so easily.

But the fact is that he not only led his family into a trap, but also almost lost his life, and this laugh is even more ridiculous to himself.

But this laughter turned into mockery and schadenfreude in the ears of Connie Marindao, who was also dizzy at this time.

Is there anything more stupid than a person who wants to calculate others but even calculates himself?

Connie moved hard to get up, but her skirt became extremely heavy due to the water, which made her just straighten up, but when she walked, 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 for support, but pressed it against Alexander's chest, and as Alexander let out a cry of "oops", her hand slipped and she rolled over and fell to Alexander's side.

"What is this place?" Because he realized that the stream was not deep, Alexander simply lay on his back and immersed himself in the water without moving, in fact, he couldn't move at this time, the pain in his whole body made him not recover for a while, although he was not mortally injured, but he still needed a little time for his body to recover a little before he could move.

It was pitch black, but Connie's voice had made him know who she was.

Without hearing Connie's answer, Alexander moved his legs in the water again, the cold water clearing his mind as quickly as possible.

"You really have a lot of courage, do you think that if you kill me, my guards will let you and Colombo go?" Alexander asked a little curiously, this was something he couldn't have imagined, after all, he still had several guards with him, and the army led by Carlo was at the bottom of the mountain, if something happened to him, even if Colombo was a nobleman in Milan, he would be retaliated by them after all.

"What does Colombo's life or death have to do with me," Connie's teeth chattered with the cold, and she tried to hug her shoulders, but only then did she realize that one of her arms was pressed by Alexander, and like a pillow, he let him rest behind his head, "Take your head off my arm." Connie said angrily.

"That's good, otherwise my ears will get water," Alexander didn't mean to move, although it was still dark in front of him, but he could still see the slight flickering light in Coniono's eyes beside him, "Even if you don't fall with me, my guards can't let you go, what do you think?" ”

Hearing that Connie was silent for a moment and did not answer, 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 of and behind, I remember that you were holding a ring by the wall, I think that is the mechanism that started this trap, but are you not afraid that my guards will retaliate next," Speaking of this, Alexander propped himself up and turned his head sideways to look at Conio in the dark, "unless you have a way to get out of the dark passage, and you can guarantee that my guards will not catch up." ”

As he spoke, Alexander paused slightly, and then said in a slow but affirmative tone: "You have a helper to get you out, don't you, and this person should be the person next to you, if not the maid, then the boy who stalked me who was knocked unconscious by my men." ”

In the dark, Connieo's breathing became slightly heavier, this scene reminded Alexander of the scene when this woman visited late at night, because the two people were very close to each other, they could feel each other's breath between breaths, but now this scene was not the slightest charm or ambiguity, Alexander knew that the guards outside must have gone crazy, and both Paolo Busaco and Carlo had to face this sudden change.

Colombo, or the mysterious army that the miner said they were, whatever they had done before, but now that Alexander's accident had happened, everything could catch everyone off guard.

"Now tell me everything, otherwise it won't do you any good." Feeling that his body had recovered, and even a little numb from being immersed in cold water, Alexander stood up, obviously the slope was not too steep, but he did not understand why the Connie family had built the house in such a place, as if they were deliberately covering up everything underground.

Connieo struggled to get up a little nervously, her clothes stuck to her body and she couldn't move, although it wasn't her first time here, but the darkness and the man in front of her made her a little uncomfortable.

Connie tried to push back, but Alexander's arm was grabbed, apparently guarding against the woman from taking advantage of the darkness to escape.

"Madam, I guess I was too polite to you before, tell me everything now, otherwise I wouldn't care about killing you here."

Alexander's other hand gripped Conio's neck tightly, which made the woman, who had been trying to pretend to be calmer, panic, and she struggled to get rid of it, but then her mouth made a "gurgling" sound due to her rapid breathing.

She kept slapping Alexander's hand until she finally let out a muffled cry of pain and fear.

Alexander let go of his hand, he let the woman slip helplessly to the ground, and then crouched down and looked at the blurred shadow in the darkness: "Listen, I will not have any mercy to the enemy, and you are my enemy, if you don't want to die here, let's be honest." ”

"I'm not your enemy," Connie said, gasping heavily, she never thought a man would treat her so rudely, even Colombo never hit her, "Believe me, it's not all about you." ”

"Who's that, and what's going on with that army you're hiding in that col?" By this time, Alexander knew that there was no need to hide that he had discovered the army, but that was not what really mattered now: "But let's get out of here first, don't say you don't know how to get out, and then tell me everything on the way." ”

Alexander could clearly hear what Connieo seemed to be making when he spoke of the army, and though perhaps it was a scream of pain from a freshly wounded throat, Alexander felt more like a momentary gaffe after being noticed.

Obviously, the accident of falling into the trap set by herself made this woman's emotions a little uncontrollable, if it was before, I believed that this woman would not be noticed so easily.

"Let's get out of here first," Alexander grabbed Connie in the dark, feeling the smoothness and coldness of his hands, which he knew should be her exposed shoulders, "Trust me, if you don't get all the way and change into dry clothes as soon as possible, you'll catch a cold in no time, and you'll probably die of pneumonia." ”

Conneo's body trembled obviously, she was obviously frightened by these words, in fact, Alexander himself was also very worried, in this era, a small illness and a small disaster could kill him, which is also the reason why although it was unbearable cold after he fell into the water, he still did not come up from the water immediately.

"Tell me what this place is?" Alexander asked, he had a feeling that with this woman's unusual behavior, if she was calmed down, something might happen, so the only way to keep her nervous was to keep her on the edge.

"This is the mine down Sonilo Mountain," Connie shivered, and she began to feel cold, "but this is not a coal mine, it is a copper mine." Then she added, "This is where the mines were mined in Roman times." ”

Alexander let out an unexpectedly low "ah", he never thought that this dark place was actually a product of Roman times.

However, this made his heart relax somewhat, with the technology of the Roman era, he did not believe that the ancient Romans would dig deep mines, and listening to Conio's calm tone, they should not be in much danger.

"Aren't you wondering why your guards haven't come down to save you?" In the darkness, Connie smiled again, "It's because they've all fallen into the trap just like us, but the others are just real traps, and you're a little unlucky enough to fall into this shaft that leads to the mine below." ”

"But what is it that you fell into a trap that you set yourself?" Alexander sneered sarcastically, then thought for a moment and said, "Your companion is the maid, I think I really ignored her before, because Colombo frightened her when I first met her." ”

Feeling the slight tremor of Coniono's body under the palm of his hand, he didn't know if it was because of the cold or because of his own inference, Alexander continued: "That boy has sent you back a message, you have already decided to get rid of me from that time, but there are still my guards, so someone has to help you, and you just said that Colombo's life or death has nothing to do with you, so all this should be done by yourself." ”

Conio's body shook even more, and a muffled, low voice came from her mouth.

Alexander shook his head secretly and reached out to grab her.

"Take your clothes off, you'll get pneumonia in no time with wet clothes." Alexander took off his clothes as he spoke, but one of his hands was always pressed on Connie's shoulder, and he couldn't help but admit that he was actually a little afraid of what this woman would do after suffering a loss.

Conio didn't move at first, and after a while there was a soft sound of undressing in the darkness, which was supposed to cause some thought, but the cold made it impossible to think about it.

"You're not Caesar Borgia," Connie said suddenly in the dark, her voice a little hurried by the cold, but apparently she had calmed down, "but I heard that you helped Caesar gain control of Rome." ”

"You're not that accurate," Alexander nudged lightly, and he could feel the touch of Coniono's smooth back in his hands, "now let's get out of here." ”

Connie let out a strange laugh, and as she groped her way forward in the darkness, she said, "I've been to this place so many times that I don't even remember it, and I'm familiar with everything here, and believe me that this place is not far from the exit, but if anyone can take you out of here, it's me." ”

Alexander's hand pressed slightly on the woman's shoulder, in fact, he was a little nervous at this time, because he heard the threat in Connie's words, which made him believe that he could still threaten him like this at this time, and this woman must have something to rely on.

"Can you help me if I take you out?" Connie suddenly stopped and turned to face Alexander, so that Alexander felt a bulge on her body gently against his chest, "I know you helped Caesar gain power, but I don't think it's enough, otherwise you wouldn't have been kicked out of Rome by someone else at this time, if you can help me I will repay you." ”

Alexander was a little surprised, of course he was well aware of his situation, just as he was driven out by the Sicilians, he was also driven out by the Romans.

The only difference is that he still has a chance to return to Rome compared to his desperate departure in Sicily, and that opportunity should come soon.

It's just that Alexander didn't expect his situation, but he was broken by such a completely strange woman, which surprised him and forced him to get to know Connie again.

"What do you want to do?" Alexander asked.

"I want to see the Sforza family die." Connie's voice rang out in the dark cavern.
