Struggle in Russia

At the time when Nelidova and Count Kleinmichel were sullen and uneasy, the behind-the-scenes Count Rostovtsev, who made them gaunt, was sitting comfortably in his exclusive position in the National Library and reading a precious The First Edition of Monarchy by Machiavelli.

"This ancient book should be better kept!"

Count Rostovtsev didn't even raise his head, just reached out and pointed at the empty seat opposite him, motioning to Li Xiao to sit down.

"It's rude to disturb people."

Li Xiao shrugged and sat down indifferently to Count Rostovtsev. He asked easily: "You came to me so suddenly, wouldn't you invite me to a reading party?"

Count Rostovtsev finally raised his head and laughed: "What if?"

Li Xiao rolled his eyes and said, "That forgive me is really not that American time. Thank you, our group has to be kicked off, and we have gone to Odessa a long way, do you know how far it is?"

"Old Igor told you?" Asked Count Rostovtsev.

"No," Li Xiao shook his head and said, "Don't you not know about Dad's temper, his mouth is not so tight. If he doesn't want to say, holding a gun against his head is useless."

After a short meal, he laughed: "However, I guess that all Russia can treat me so well, it can only be you!"

Count Rostovtsev closed the page and asked indifferently, "Why only me?"

Li Xiao laughed: "Neither the Duke Gorchakov nor Admiral Lazarev has such great energy, and only you can do it!"

Count Rostovsev still commented lightly: "It's easy and quick to reverse the results. So you know, why should I let you go?"

Li Xiao laughed again: "It is probably a little shattered by Grandpa Constantine. I feel a bit wrong. It is too warm to praise him and praise me too much, too abnormal!"

Count Rostovtsev looked at him calmly and asked, "Since you know abnormalities, what are you watching?"

Li Xiao continued to laugh: "I didn't watch it, and I helped it! Although there wasn't much behind-the-scenes that wanted to rectify Grandpa Constantine's black hand, but he also arbitrarily cooperated, didn't he?"

Count Rostovsev was finally calm, and he smiled: "Are you not worried at all? Aren't you afraid?"

Li Xiaotan spread his hand and said, "How can I be scared to death. So I contacted the friends of the British and French newspapers and embassies early and let them pay more attention to my distressed grandpa. If there is no news suddenly, don't forget to report . "

Count Rostovtsev shook his head and said, "This is not enough!"

"Certainly not enough!" Li Xiao answered bluntly, "But I do everything, what else do you want?"

Count Rostovtsev raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you do to me?"

"Of course it matters!" Li Xiao patted the table and said, "I'm afraid you and your partner both support the reform? Grand Duke Constantine is so active, don't tell me that it has nothing to do with you! Although the little fat man is greedy, but It's not stupid, it's impossible to be stupid enough to go out and do it! Someone must have given him an Ecstasy! "

Count Rostovtsev asked without raising his eyelids: "Do you think it's me?"

Li Xiao did not answer directly, but looked at Earl Rostovcev with a smile, a prank that saw the other side through.

But such a temptation was meaningless. Count Rostovsev's face looked like he was wearing a steel mask, without expression, and could not see any message.

For a short while, Li Xiao was a little boring, and sighed: "Even if it's not you, it has everything to do with you!"

Count Rostovsev still had no expression on his face, just looking at Li Xiao's eyes so calmly that Li Xiao was a little hairy.

As long as Li Xiao raised his hands and surrendered, "Okay, okay! I mean, Grandpa Constantine was definitely encouraged, or he wouldn't fall into the trap like this silly head!"

Count Rostovtsev finally spoke: "Yes, this is very possible! It's impossible for someone like him to be unprofitable, really pathetic, right?"

Li Xiao has never been able to read anything from Count Rostovtsev's face. This person is as rigorous as a stone and does not give you any gaps or holes.

Li Xiao said stupidly: "It's pretty pathetic. From the beginning to the end, the poor little fat man is a pawn. A **** that asks for directions, right?"

Count Rostovsev gently closed the book and said slowly, "So what do you think you are asking?"

Li Xiao immediately struck up his mind. He knew that this issue was very important. It was likely that the test of Earl Rostovsev on him. Passing the test would have certain benefits, and he might go deeper into the small organization where the Earl was located. By the same token, if the test fails, then there will be nothing then, and he is expected to go cool.

For Li Xiao, this is critical. Although through his own efforts since crossing, he has greatly improved his situation, but in general is still passive. And if you want to stand up, you must unite more people, especially those with great energy.

Such as Duke Gorchakov, such as General Lazarev. Only such a powerful person can bless him with the space to display his talents, and he can protect him from being killed immediately by his uncle Lao Yin ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ and Count Rostovtsev is undoubtedly very mysterious and powerful, just He alone can greatly influence the decision of Nicholas I. The group behind him is undoubtedly stronger. If he can join the organization behind him, he will certainly get more help and support.

After thinking for a while and straightening out the logical relationship, Li Xiao cautiously said, "First of all, I don't think it's a test of my uncle's true attitude!"

"Oh? Why?" Count Rostovsev raised his chin slightly and asked, "Doesn't your Majesty's attitude matter?"

Li Xiao replied confidently: "Of course the emperor's attitude is important. A word is boundless, and a word can decide whether to live or die. Why not!"

After a slight pause, he again said, "But my uncle's attitude is not difficult to guess at all, and no trial is needed at all. He is a stone in a pit, and his attitude towards reform has always been stinky and hard. Since So why waste time and effort trying something? Only political idiots can do such stupid things. "

"But Earl, you can never be an idiot, so you will never waste time with my uncle!"
