Eagle Flag of Epirus

These **** French guys are really unreliable!

Knowing that his identity behind manipulating all of this has been fully exposed, and he took a group of people onto the cabin, Alfonso found a place to sit down, and said bitterly: "It's a shame that you Genoese have to be like this. In the end, it’s no wonder that if you offend the whole of Italy, don’t offend the Genoese. Today, I really gave you some insight."

"Where, where, so you really won the prize, but our noses are very bright, and I immediately smelled you that you can earn a lot of gold coins that we have in Genoa. So it is naturally not difficult to find you. "The Genoese businessman said haha ​​but made Alfonso in front of him even more gloomy.

The man who was too lazy to pay attention to this kind of nonsense, simply broke the skylight and said brightly, then said: "Just tell me what is going on, I don't bother to whistle around with you. Although I didn't come forward directly, but I didn't know how much I got through it for you to come in without being noticed. Joint, every gold coin earned is justified. If you want to talk to me about money, I advise you to go home as soon as possible."

Looking at Alfonso in front of him, he looked annoyed and wanted to chase away customers, and several other people with Genoese merchants also panicked, and said quickly: "Boss, please calm down your anger first. Our friends from Genoa came this time to want peace. We are discussing a big business. You will regret this opportunity if you make a mistake."

"Business?" Seeing the solemn expressions of the few people in front of him, they didn't seem to be fake, Alfonso couldn't help but hesitate. After all, no one is willing to give up a good opportunity to make a fortune, but this is true or false, but it is true. Makes him a little skeptical. It has indeed been more than a year since he has worked with the man opposite, but he has basically never shown up whether he can trust Alfonso or not.

On the other hand, in front of him, the Genoese man looked calm and relaxed, and seemed not at all anxious. He watched Alfonso quietly and said slowly: "Whether you believe it or not, I am here in Thessaloní this time. The card is just a chance to make a fortune and I want to bring it to you. As for whether you are willing to seize it, it is not a matter of my consideration. The big deal is that my batch of goods will be stored on Rhode Island for the time being, although it is farther and more expensive. , But it’s just making less money."

Seeing that the other party had said these words casually, watching the Genoese businessman Alfonso finally couldn't resist the huge temptation, he gritted his teeth and asked: "What kind of goods are stored here, even if it is a business. Know what it is!" Although it seems to be hesitating, the Genoese merchant on the opposite side already knows that this man has also been hooked, and since he bit the bait and wants to spit out the hook, it is not so easy.

Immediately, the businessman no longer scorned Alfonso's appetite, and signaled that the servants he followed could open the barrels he had brought.

And the wine in it was not the original Bordeaux wine. As soon as the lid was lifted, the pungent smell of spices such as meat and cloves came out. However, looking at this scene, the eyes of Alfonso and others really straightened up.

This is worth more than the finest Bordeaux wines. A whole barrel of spices...everyone knows what it means. The wild pursuit of oriental spices in the West has formed a vast market because the price has risen. At this time, this barrel of spices is no less than A bucket of gold.

No wonder the Genoese businessman in front of him said that this is a golden opportunity to make a fortune in a lifetime.

"This...this, can't it be said..." Alfonso's voice trembled. As a crusader, he would always remember the huge profits made by Italian merchants reselling spices in Acre, but he really didn't expect himself. Actually, one day we can encounter such a good thing.

However, the man on the opposite side said casually, "Don’t worry, I have brought a whole boat on the sea not far away, sir. These days are not peaceful, and I am not at ease just stopping at the sea, Thessaloniki. Although there are still wars, the Greeks can’t get in these days, so it’s still much safer in comparison. You and I still believe that I only ask to be kept here for a while, and I will thank you very much.”

The Genoese businessman immediately gave a generous compensation figure that made Alfonso's eyes straighten up and almost breathless for a while. If this is the case, they will be able to wash their hands and not live a prosperous life after it is done. Why risk losing their lives here at any time? No one will refuse such a huge temptation. Even the strict orders issued by the Marquis of Dennister were forgotten by Alfonso.

Without saying anything, he nodded fiercely, and Alfon roped: "Okay, no problem, just do it, the deal!"

"Okay, if the word is settled, then I will trouble your Excellency." Seeing that the other party was willing to accept it as he expected, the Genoese businessman who had completed the task stood up from his chair and said.

"Well, it shouldn’t be too late. I’m ordering my men to switch~www.readwn.com~ The ecstatic Alfon didn’t realize that he had fallen into the trap of others, and faced the bucket of spices in front of him. Without a doubt about him, he agreed to all the other party's requirements. At this time, the defense of Thessaloniki city was concentrated in the north city, and no one would care about everything that happened here. Naturally, Alfonso had to take advantage of Dennister’s The Marquis found out that Genoa’s smuggling boat came in secretly.

...

...

...

At the port of Thessaloniki, under Alfonso's order, the blank-faced Italian sailors had to open the chain that blocked the bay from their orders and release the Genoese merchant ships that had been waiting for a long time to come in.

Before that, the vigilant Alfonso ordered his men to search the ship up and down. There was no one but a few sailors in the small space. There were only barrels of spices, each barrel. They were all opened by the Latin soldiers and confirmed and confirmed that there were no hidden dangers inside. Alfonso excitedly arranged the ship to enter the port. It seemed that everything went smoothly as it seemed.

However, he didn't know that he was stepping into the trap laid down for him by others. The wooden barrels were filled with precious spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves. The pungent scent just covered the smell of gunpowder smoke. , And the Latins who had never seen gunpowder didn’t notice it at all, and couldn’t ask how the smell was different from the spice, so they ignorantly let the boat entering the harbor gradually move towards Thessaloniki. Ships large and small sailed away.

And this scene was captured in the eyes of a girl who was quietly watching this scene on a ship not far away. Looking at the dimly beautiful moonlight in the sky, Antonia Doria muttered to herself with her chin on her hands: "I have done what should help you, and the next success or failure will depend on you alone. Stupid fox!"
