Struggle in Russia

Li Xiao was shocked. What exactly did Duke Vladimir do? How did you provoke Pobedonostsev?

No, it didn't necessarily provoke Pobedonostsev. Although he issued the arrest warrant, everyone knows that Pobedonostsev is Alexander II's loyal dog, and it may be ordered by Alexander II. he did.

It's just that this is even worse, because offending Pobedonostsev can still find a way to find a relationship, but offending Alexander II is almost equivalent to being sentenced to death, and there is no salvation at all, okay?

The only thing Li Xiao hopes now is that things will not be so bad, otherwise he really can only say sorry to Victoria.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "The order from Count Pobedonostsev? Are you sure?"

"It's true, my brother who works at the headquarters confirmed this," the man lowered his voice and whispered, "It seems that the duke seduced the wife of the Earl, and then he found out about it, Your Excellency It's like a thunderbolt rages..."

Li Xiao nodded. It seemed like Duke Vladimir could do this kind of thing. He waved his hand to dismiss this subordinate, but the doubts in his heart did not ease at all.

Because Pobedonostsev's wife is really not good, and she doesn't seem to be a woman who can attract a **** like Duke Vladimir. Anyway, he had met the lady once and didn't find it attractive.

And as far as he knew, Duke Vladimir was an out-and-out face dog, unlike ordinary masters who ate soft food, as long as they were rich women, they would eat meat and vegetables. Strictly speaking, this guy is not a softie, even if he really has no money. The purpose of this pick-up girl is first and foremost to look at her appearance. If she is not beautiful enough to suit her taste, then it is useless to wave a checkbook.

Since Pobedonostsev's wife is of average appearance, it is obviously unlikely to attract the attention of Duke Vladimir. But the gossip said that he seduced the lady, so either Duke Vladimir was trying to change his tune, or Pobedonostsev was lying! .

Given the personalities of Duke Vladimir and Pobedonostsev, Li Xiao thinks the latter possibility is more likely.

It is very likely that Pobedonostsev is lying, and why should he lie even if he puts a hat on himself?

Obviously he was covering up something, more specifically why people were covering up.

And this person is not a secret to Li Xiao, because who else can have this kind of energy except Alexander II!

Why!

Li Xiao sighed leisurely, and things really developed in the direction he least wanted to see. Could it be that Duke Vladimir really pried Alexander II's corner and gave the tsar a hat?

The only thing that puzzled him was, didn't he hear that Queen Maria had an affair? I haven't heard that Duke Vladimir is eligible to hang out in the Winter Palace?

Fortunately, Li Xiao immediately thought of another possibility, that is, there are really too many confidante of Alexander II.

Let's put it this way, compared with his father Nicholas I, Alexander II may have slightly fewer mistresses, but there are absolutely not too many. Having climbed to the pinnacle of power, it is normal to have more confidante.

The vast majority of so many confidante must be aimed at the status of Alexander II, it is hard to say that he really loves or likes the tsar. Of course, most of them have normal brains, and it is impossible to spend a good night with Alexander II and flirt with other men at the same time.

Even if they don't have this kind of brain, normal Russian nobles know that they are the tsar's taboo, and they definitely don't dare to speak casually.

It's just that Duke Vladimir is a weirdo. That guy only thinks about looks and women. With his **** nature, it is really possible to pry Alexander II's corner.

The only thing that puzzled Li Xiao was that the guy was over forty years old, had no money in his pocket, and couldn't afford anything except the title of duke. With such conditions, could he really compete with Alexander II for a woman?

At least it is impossible for a little girl like Alexander II to switch to the arms of Duke Vladimir, right?

"Uh, this..."

After listening to Li Xiao's analysis, Victoria was hesitant to speak, and you could clearly see that the worry in her eyes became more intense, and she couldn't get rid of it.

She faltered and said: "Father has an extraordinary appearance, he is not particularly old, and he is very personable..."

Well, Li Xiao understood completely. He had never met Duke Vladimir, but subconsciously felt that an old man who was forty or almost fifty was not attractive at all. But looking at Victoria's expression, he knew that he was wrong.

Obviously, that duke can definitely be worthy of the words Yushu Linfeng~www.readwn.com~ Maybe he is the kind of old handsome guy who gets older and more bewitching.

"Probably so, anyway, my father is more charming than..."

Li Xiao suddenly knew why Victoria had no feelings for him. You see, she had something to say just now. She clearly wanted to say that Father is much more handsome than you, but she changed her words temporarily because it hurt Li Xiao to say so.

Obviously, he is not even worthy of carrying shoes compared to that duke, otherwise a daughter who doesn't like him can refuse His Excellency's hydrangea?

"That's not good!" Although Li Xiao also had a toothache, and he couldn't say that he didn't care about being despised at all, he still knew the priorities. He smiled bitterly and said, "If Your Excellency the Duke is really so charming, then Maybe he really might have offended His Majesty!"

In fact, Victoria also thought of this, so her face was very ugly, and she felt dizzy when she thought of her father going to steal a woman from Alexander II.

This matter is not a joke, if Alexander II gets jealous, don't say you are just a ruined duke, even a powerful duke can't afford to go around!

If this is the case, their family's only duke title might be lost!

Suddenly, Victoria was very anxious. If that restless old man stood in front of her, she would rush up and scold him without any explanation. She must wake up this ignorant idiot and let him know how wrong he is!

"Don't be too anxious, all this is just my analysis," Li Xiao could only bite the bullet and comforted him: "The most urgent task now is still to find the Duke, as for the future, we can only make plans after finding him first! "

Victoria looked at Li Xiao. To be honest, she was in a mess right now and didn't know what to do...
