Chapter 1725 Free

"Doomsday? Catastrophe? Impossible! Is there anything more troublesome than Qi?"

William asked in disbelief. In today's world, apart from Qi State, is there any other country that has such a terrible disaster?

"Not knowing is just a feeling, just like everyone can get leprosy! Teacher, you know, I have experienced that kind of despair and can smell the smell of despair!"

Baldwin IV spoke.

"This this……"

William looked at the student in front of him in horror. This was a doomsday prophecy. Such things could not be said casually or one could easily be burned to death as a heretic.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will contact those Venetian merchants!"

William didn't dare to listen any further, and quickly said that compared with these, contacting Qi State was nothing.

"Teacher, please go later! We might be targeted now!"

Baldwin IV spoke.

"Your Majesty, are you talking about the church?"

William asked quickly.

"His Holiness Saint Bernard seems to have guessed something. He is very knowledgeable and is also the Pope's teacher."

Baldwin IV spoke.

"impossible!"

William thought for a while. Since they returned to Rome, they have not revealed any flaws, and Bernard has just returned to Rome. What could he find?
"He wondered why my leprosy was cured. He knows a lot about these diseases! He travels around the dioceses all year round and has a wide range of knowledge. He must be very knowledgeable about leprosy."

Baldwin IV spoke.

"I have heard of this person. It is said that he knows some medical skills! Your Highness, what should we do?"

William looked at Baldwin IV and asked, Bernard is the Pope's teacher and has a holy name, if he suspects them, they will be in trouble.

"Don't worry for now. My leprosy does seem to be cured, and the church also needs to use this incident to win people's hearts. They won't go too far at the moment."

"What we need to do now is to contact the Frankish nobles. Although our family has left our homeland, we are still Franks after all. They should choose to support me."

Baldwin IV said that he had lost the Kingdom of Jerusalem, and now his primary goal was to establish his own power on the Empire side, and their only chance was the Franks.

"I will arrange a dinner later. During the Holy Mass, the Frankish nobles should all return to Rome."

William nodded.

night.

The dirty streets of Rome were still bustling with people drinking, looking for dancers, and gambling taking to the streets.

William came to a clothing store of a Venetian merchant in casual clothes. At this time, William was wearing very ordinary clothes and had a big beard on his face. In order to prevent being recognized, he deliberately darkened his skin color.

"Sir, what do you need? We have the finest clothing, canes, and hats in all styles!"

When the merchant in the store saw William, he immediately walked forward with a smile. Although the man was dressed very ordinary, he could not hide his aristocratic demeanor. It was obvious at first glance that he was a nobleman in a high position.

"I want a silk nightgown with suspenders, peonies and mandarin ducks, and lace."

William looked around, there was no one else and the shop door was closed, so he shamelessly said the secret code. There would probably not be another man in the world who walked into a men's clothing store and bought such shameful women's clothing.

The Venetian was also stunned for a moment, but immediately looked at William with surprise.

"Yes, there are. They are bright red!"

The Merchant of Venice whispered the code.

After hearing this, William's expression returned to normal. It seemed that he had come to the right place.

"I asked you to give this!"

The Venetian quickly took out a wooden box from behind the counter and handed it to William.

William looked at the seal on the wooden box and confirmed that it had not been opened before nodding. "Nothing to say?"

William hid the wooden box tightly in his arms and then asked. Logically, Qi State should have put forward corresponding conditions.

"No, just let me give this to you!"

The Venetian shook his head.

William's face was full of suspicion. This was illogical. Qi State did not gain any benefits from this. This was too abnormal.

William felt that the wooden box in his arms was very hot. He was already afraid of Qi State and had fallen into its schemes too many times. Now he got the medicine without paying anything, which made him even more uneasy.

"Really nothing? Think about it carefully!"

William asked.

"They didn't say a word to me, so there must be no such thing!"

The Venetian spread his hands helplessly and said that the Qi State had only given him some goods and asked him to bring them to Rome and hand them over to the person who matched the code.

William didn't ask any more questions when he saw this, as asking again would expose him. He turned around and walked out of the store, entered a chaotic bar, walked among the crowd for a while, and finally left through the back door.

William was very careful. He went to several chaotic places in succession before finally returning to the mansion.

"Your Highness, I got the things back!"

William put the wooden box on the table.

Baldwin IV looked at the wooden box in front of him with surprise. He tore off the seal and opened the wooden box. Inside were four exquisite porcelain bottles, each of which was sealed with wax and had the unique mark of Qi State.

"Four bottles! That's two months' supply! What do they want?"

William IV asked in surprise.

"Nothing! No, they didn't say anything, they just gave the merchant this wooden box!"

William spoke up.

"Didn't say anything?"

Baldwin IV thought about it.

"Your Majesty, Qi must be plotting something!"

William spoke up.

"I don't think there's any conspiracy!"

Baldwin IV shook his head.

"No conspiracy? How is that possible? Then what is their purpose? There must be a purpose! There is no such thing as a free lunch!"

William said quickly.

"Teacher, this shows that they don't want anything, or the information here is not attractive to them now. We will tell them that they can also get the information through merchants. Those merchants may even know more about some information than we do."

Baldwin IV spoke.

"This……"

William didn't know what to say. It seemed to be true. There were some things they couldn't tell Qi, but Qi should have known the general intelligence.

"The emperor is becoming more and more confused. What on earth is he thinking?"

Baldwin IV looked at the four porcelain vases and laughed.

"Your Highness, I have invited several great Frankish nobles, as well as some Roman nobles, to attend the dinner tomorrow night. Would Your Highness like to bring out anything?"

William looked at Baldwin IV and said something else.

"Just bring out the glassware, porcelain, tea and silk we got from Qi. I think the nobles will like them!"

Baldwin IV said that the so-called banquet was actually an opportunity to show off and display his wealth. Being a noble meant nothing more than territory and money. Now that he had no territory, he could only show off his money and treasures.
