Although Marin detoured, he set out at the end of July, and he had two horses on one person. Therefore, the land journey was not long, and after walking for half a month, he entered Italy. If it hadn't been for a few days to cross the Alps and were all plains, Marin might have entered Italy within 10 days.

After entering Italy, Marin did not take a boat trip to Geneae. Because Geneae defected to France. If the Geneae knew that he had gone there, wouldn't he arrest him and show his merits to Charles VIII?

So Marin could only go south along the Italian Peninsula to the Kingdom of Naples, from there, take a boat to Sicily under the control of the Kingdom of Aragon, and then take a Spanish boat to Barcelona.

A few days later, Marin and others entered Naples. In order to obtain the ships to sea, Marin revealed his identity and asked Naples to provide ships to Sicily.

Unexpectedly, this incident alarmed the current king of the Kingdom of Naples Frederick IV. Frederick IV was the younger brother of King Alfonso II of Naples and the uncle of Ferdinand II. After Ferdinand II had no heirs after his death, the throne fell on Frederick II.

The Kingdom of Naples had a good impression of Marin, who almost supported the French king. Because if Marin had not destroyed the French army, they would not have known when the French would have made a comeback.

You should know that although Marin defeated the main force of the French army, although he did not kill many people, the French paid a huge ransom of more than two million gold coins. In this way, the French would be unable to recover financially for several years. Without money, the French would not be able to launch another invasion of Naples.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Naples was very grateful to Marin and treated him as a VIP.

As a little baron, the king invited you to have a happy invitation, but you could still refuse? In desperation, Marin had to stay in the Naples Palace for several days.

A few days later, Marin came out of the Royal Palace of Naples and boarded a ship to Sicily...

After arriving in Sicily, the Spanish were also very good at Marin. Of course, Marin did not say that he was going to save Prince John, but to travel to Spain.

Marin soon boarded a ship to Barcelona. The Aragon Kingdom was not large in size, but the areas controlled were very fertile. For example, Spain's relatively developed Catalonia region and Sicily, known as the "Golden Basin". In addition, Ferdinand II was very charming, and he hooked up with Queen Isabella I and successfully ruled the entire Spain together, including Sicily and Sardinia in Italy.

In Barcelona, ​​Marin was also welcomed by the Aragonese people. Because the Iberian Peninsula is mainly bordered by the Kingdom of Aragon and France. As a neighbor, the Aragonese and the French also had a lot of friction, and they inevitably became hostile to each other with the French. Marin made the French king flee in a panic, which really made the Aragonese feel happy. Therefore, in Barcelona, ​​Marin was also warmly treated.

After getting rid of the enthusiastic Aragonese, Marin led his men all the way westward and entered the Kingdom of Castile. There were very few areas bordering France, and there was a Naval between France. Therefore, they were not so hostile to the French. Therefore, in Castile, people were not enthusiastic about Marin. This made Marin breathe a sigh of relief. If he was really caught and entertained, Marin would probably miss the time to save the prince.

When he arrived at Toledo, the capital of the Kingdom of Castilla (70 kilometers south of Madrid, it was the capital of Spain 1561 years ago), after Marin asked, Prince John (sometimes translated as Prince Juan) actually went to Portugal as a guest.

It turned out that Prince John's elder sister Princess Isabella has been widowed after her first husband, former Portuguese Prince Alfonso, died unexpectedly.

After the death of Portugal King Joao II, the lucky Manuel I succeeded to the throne. Manuel I also agreed with Joao II's plans back then. Because the two kings, both wanted to learn from Ferdinand II and jointly rule the entire Iberian Peninsula.

Although Princess Isabella is a widow, she is the eldest daughter of the Spanish kings. If Prince John unfortunately dies or does not leave behind any descendants, Princess Isabella will become the queen of the Kingdom of Castile and the Kingdom of Aragon (provided that both the Spanish kings and the couple die) or the first heir. At that time, Manuel I may have the opportunity to unify the Iberian Peninsula.

Therefore, Manuel I did not dislike Princess Isabella as a widow, so he resolutely proposed to marry Princess Isabella, and held a wedding in Lisbon in September 1497.

As his younger brother and heir to the two kingdoms of Spain, Prince John naturally attended his sister's wedding as a guest. Therefore, Prince John, including his wife, Austrian Princess Margaret, was in Lisbon at this time...

In desperation, Marin had to wait patiently and began to recall the relevant details...

After a night of memories, Marin discovered that the information he had read showed that Prince John seemed to have died in a place called Salamanca. This place seemed to be located at the junction of the Kingdom of Castile and the Kingdom of Portugal. It seemed that the prince fell ill on his way home...

Marin now has a clear idea. The prince is definitely not a lung disease. If he is a patient with lung disease, he must be very weak in constitution and cannot go out for a breath, let alone a wedding in Portugal. Therefore, the prince must have had a cold occasionally, had a severe cold, plus bronchitis, etc. Of course, he may also be poisoned by the Portuguese king Manuel I. Because if the prince does not die, the dream of Manuel I in unity in rule of Spain cannot come true...

But no matter what, Marin felt that he should give it a try...

So Marin took his men to Salamanca near the border between Spain and Portugal, and lived there, waiting for the prince to return.

At the same time, Marin found a jar and bought fresh aloe leaves. She started pickling the folk remedy for treating lung diseases, in case of accidents.

Because he was afraid that the prince would be poisoned, Marin prepared some herbs to clear heat and detoxify. Originally, Marin wanted to use isatis root. Unfortunately, Europe does not have this thing now. So Marin settled for the second best and went to the river to get some reed roots and dried them for later use.

The roots of reeds are cold in nature, sweet in taste, and function to clear heat and promote fluid, eliminate irritability, stop vomiting, and promote diuresis. They are suitable for fever and injuring fluid, irritability, heat and thirst, stomach heat vomiting, choking, nausea, and treatment of lung heat cough, lung abscess, etc.

Just so happens that the prince may have symptoms such as lung heat cough, so this medicine is considered the right symptom. Moreover, the reed roots are easy to obtain and are available all over the world. Moreover, it has no toxicity and has very little side effects.
