The Fall of the Golden Empire (Novel) (Volume 1) "Bloody Sunset" by Zhang Baotong
He stayed up all night, got up before dawn, and walked towards the monastery, trying to find out if Petya had really forgotten about the date. However, he came too early and the temple gate was not yet open. He waited for a while before the door opened. I finally waited until the door opened, but Petera hadn't come to take over yet. He had to wait again. After breakfast, Peter came over with a team of people. After changing shifts and handing over the guard, he saw Petya walking towards him.
Before he could ask a question, Petya returned the delicate little mirror to him and said, "I gave her your mirror, and I also said that you want to see her when it gets dark at night if you have something to do." Asked her. However, she took the small mirror in her hand and looked at it. She also took a picture of herself. It seemed that she liked it. However, she still gave the small mirror back to me, saying that she wanted such an expensive thing. Can't take it. Besides, she said she never dates anyone else."
When Robert heard this, he was very angry and said reproachfully, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier, which made me wait until midnight."
Petya looked a little incomprehensible and said, "If she doesn't come, just wait for a while. Why do you have to wait so long?"
Robert was also asking himself, "Yeah, why did I have to wait so long? Did I take the wrong medicine?"
Seeing that he looked a little lost, Peter patted his shoulder and sincerely advised, "Forget it, don't embarrass yourself, don't embarrass other people's queens, just do it for the best."
When Robert took the small mirror, he felt that his soul had been buried alive, leaving only a walking corpse, blindly and lost, not knowing where to go.
In the next few days, Robert seemed to be suffering from a serious illness. Although there was no pain or discomfort in his body, he felt weak all over and even lacked the strength to get out of bed.
But what made him feel weakest and weakest was his heart, as if he didn't even have the strength to breathe. I felt suffocated and gloomy in my heart, as if I was being pressed down by a large stone slab. I wanted to cry but couldn't cry, and I wanted to shout but couldn't make a sound. Therefore, he felt that his heart was suffocated and he was about to die.
Near noon, Juan Pizarro came over and asked him and Martin to go to the monastery. He excused himself and said he didn't feel well and didn't want to go. However, Juan just pulled him up from the bed and said, "Let's go. This is the Marquis's order. You can't go if you don't." Robert asked Juan what he was. Juan said, "The Marquis wants to send someone to Quito to learn about the situation in Quito from the Inca King." Normally, he has a good relationship with Juan, and when people insist on dragging him there, he It was not easy to refuse, so he got up and followed Juan on horseback to the temple.
When we arrived at the door of the Inca King's meeting room, the door was open. I didn't know who made the mistake, but I heard Atahualpa lecturing someone in a very annoyed tone. This was the first time that everyone heard King Atahualpa get so angry. The minister guarding the gate stopped them and said, "The king is reprimanding the queen. Please wait a moment, sir."
After a while, Queen Anna came out of the house with tears in her eyes and ran back to her house. Juan looked at Anna's leaving back and said to Robert in a tone of admiration, "This little girl is so charming. I must get her in my hands one day."
Robert said unfavorably, "She is the queen of the Inca king. The captain must not act rashly and cause disaster."
Juan said disapprovingly, "The Inca king is just a prisoner."
At this time, a minister guarding the gate came to report, "Your Majesty has invited me."
Juan and Robert entered the house. Juan saw that Atahualpa's face was still full of anger, so he asked, "Who is the king so angry with?"
Atahualpa relaxed his tense face, smiled bitterly, and said, "Something happened at home, which made the two gentlemen laugh." After that, he asked Juan and Robert to sit down and asked What's the matter?
Juan said, "The Marquis wants to send people to Quito to collect gold, but I don't know what the situation is like in Quito. Let me ask you."
When Atahualpa heard that he was raising gold, his facial expression relaxed and he said, "There is not a lot of gold in Quito. There is a lot of it in the palace and the Temple of the Sun, but not as much as in Cusco." . If you want to go there, I can also issue you a safe pass."
Juan said, "Okay, but I heard that Luminawi, the garrison commander there, wants to separate Quito from the Inca Empire. I don't know if it's true or not."
Atahualpa looked stunned, but immediately blinked his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said, "I have also heard such rumors, but Luminawi is my uncle after all, and he has been very loyal to me all these years. "
But Juan said, "If he really had this intention, wouldn't we be looking for death if we went there?"
Atahualpa shook his head and said, "I'm not dead yet. I don't think Ruminawi is that bold."
Juan thought for a while and said, "That's the same way. As long as you are still here, the Inca Kingdom will still be your world."
Having said this, Juan and Robert stood up and left.
As soon as I went out, I saw several ministers carrying bundles of firewood waiting outside to see them. Juan smiled and said to Robert, "It's okay to say that they are carrying gold on their backs to meet the king, but they are carrying thorns or firewood. It's really ridiculous." With that, they walked towards the temple gate together. .
However, at this time, Queen Anna came out of the room and looked over. It was exactly at noon, and the bright sunshine shone on Queen Anna's sad and beautiful face, making her even more beautiful and charming. Perhaps because she found someone staring directly at her, Queen Anna seemed a little flustered and hurriedly entered her room.
Juan was obviously fascinated by Queen Anna. He looked at the place where Queen Anna disappeared and couldn't bear to leave for a long time. Perhaps after some consideration, he said to Robert, "Brother, wait for me at the door for a while. I'll go over and take a look. I'll come right away." Before Robert could ask him what he wanted to see, he Seeing Juan walking over quickly, he broke into Queen Anna's house.
At first, Robert really thought that Juan might just want to see Queen Anna. However, after waiting for a while, Juan did not come out, and he immediately realized that Juan must not have any good intentions, because he was not satisfied with Juan's character and character. I know my habits too well. So, I wanted to go over and have a look.
When Robert entered the room, he saw that Juan had pushed Queen Anna down on the bed, tied her hands with a ball of cloth stuffed in her mouth, and was tearing Queen Anna's skirt with crazy strength. But Queen Anna was shaking with fear and struggling.
Juan had raped many Inca girls and women, and they did not know how to resist or struggle at all. However, he did not expect that Queen Anna would do such a thing. He couldn't help but become angry and tore Queen Anna's skirt with all his strength.
Seeing that the woman he loved was being bullied in this way, Robert was furious and yelled, "Stop!" Then he stepped forward and grabbed Juan by the back of the collar and knocked him to the ground. Juan was startled. He looked up from the ground and saw that it was Robert. He got up from the ground and punched Robert hard in the face. His face was covered with blood. He cursed, "Why the hell are you trying to ruin my business?" As he said this, still feeling resentful, he punched and kicked Robert on the face and body, knocking him to the ground. I couldn't get up for a long time.
When Juan saw Robert lying on the ground with a bloody head and severe injuries, he stopped and cursed at Robert, "I didn't rape your sister. What the hell do you care about that?" Are you busy doing something else?"
After scolding, he turned around, pressed Queen Anna down again, and pulled off Queen Anna's skirt with one force, revealing her naked and white lower body. Just as Juan was pressing on Queen Anna and about to rape her, a long sword was pressed against his neck.
When Juan saw Robert pointing his sword at his neck, he turned around and said, "What do you want to do?"
Robert said, "Kill you!"
Juan asked, "Why?"
Rolbert said, "Because of your behavior."
Juan said, "Who is she to you?"
"She's a woman I respect," Rolbert said.
Juan sneered, "What's the point of respecting or not? Women are played by men, so what's there to respect?" Then he got up from the bed, sat on the edge of the bed, and said in a negotiating tone, "How about we two How about sharing it together?"
Robert said, "No, you have to give up."
Juan snorted and said in a tough tone, "What if I don't give up?"
Robert continued to point his sword at Juan's neck and said, "Then you will die."
Juan said, "If I die, you won't survive."
Robert said, "Since I dare to kill you, I don't plan to live anymore."
Seeing the strong and unyielding look on Robert's face, which was bruised and bruised, Juan had no choice but to say, "Okay, I give up." After saying that, he stood up from the bed, fastened his belt, and cursed, " Damn it, just wait and see." With that, he walked out of the room angrily.
Robert kept sending Juan out of the house with his long sword. Seeing that he had been walking towards the gate of the temple, he safely put the long sword aside and hurried over to take out the ball of cloth from Queen Anna's mouth. He untied his hands and said to Queen Anna, "The queen is frightened."
Anna didn't bother to put on her dress, so she held Robert's face with her hands gratefully, and said with tears, "Look how you were beaten." After that, she gave Robert his towel with her own towel. Wipe your face.
