Struggle in Russia

Countess Maria Murapova and Duke Vladimir looked at each other, both hesitated. It's just that the reasons for their hesitation are completely different.

Duke Vladimir is not a man of backbone, otherwise he wouldn't be broken into what he is now. For him, as long as he can save his life, everything is easy to say. What makes him hesitate is that he heard Li Xiao's subtext, and he must be wronged if he wants to pass the test without any surprises or dangers.

Considering the current situation, he must be the one who has suffered more grievances. Think about it, what are the consequences of giving a hat to the Tsar? Not to mention chopping off his head, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to send him to Siberia to open up wasteland, right?

Taking a ten thousand step back, even if you don't send him to Siberia, it's not an exaggeration to ruin his reputation!

Although everyone in the aristocratic circle is not a good bird, they don't do good things at all. But reputation is still very important. Once someone has done something dishonorable and is exposed, he will basically be cut off from the circle, and he will never be able to hang out in the circle for the rest of his life.

For Duke Vladimir, the only thing he has left now is this name. Once he is expelled from the ring, how can he hook up with ladies and ladies and eat soft meals?

This is his lifeline, no matter what he doesn't want to give up!

So, if he was wronged and would be expelled from the ring, he must think more about it.

As for Countess Maria Murapova, she was nothing like Prince Vladimir. She still has backbone, otherwise she wouldn't have made such a mess. To her, there is no big difference between being alive and being dead, especially living in such a muddle right now, it is called life is worse than death!

So it's not surprising that she is not interested in any kind of circle, popular or spicy. She can only take revenge, and she only wants to make those who play with her and restrain her so that she is not free pay the price.

The only thing she wants to do is revenge, which is to make Alexander II uncomfortable. As long as it can make the other party unhappy, she will be very happy, so she is not interested in useless ways to save her life, she just wants to be vigorous.

In a sense, the choices of Countess Maria Murapova and Duke Vladimir are actually the same. If possible, I want to choose the more dangerous road, the difference is that the starting point is very different!

"Have you made a decision?" Li Xiao asked unhurriedly after glancing at them.

"Keep your reputation!"

Duke Vladimir and Countess Maria Murapova replied in unison, but one hesitated and the other boldly.

Li Xiao smiled and said, "To be honest, I was a little surprised. I thought you, Duke, would put your life first!"

These words are naturally a bit harsh. Although Duke Vladimir is a skinless and faceless scumbag, he still can't keep his face openly ridiculed by others, especially the juniors. Don't be afraid of anything!"

It's just that these words really don't have any credibility, especially the other two people at the scene really know him too well. He knows what he's going to do as soon as he sticks his butt. How could he believe his nonsense?

However, Countess Maria Murapova still said something fair for him: "Although he was trembling with fright, he didn't just kneel down and beg for mercy. !"

Duke Vladimir's face turned dark immediately, and he was about to tell the difference, but Li Xiao was not interested in talking nonsense with him. He said to the countess: "Although you have been fooled by the group of fools in the headquarters a few times before, this kind of trick can be used as soon as possible. But two things must be done, sooner or later they will suspect you, as long as they investigate seriously, they will definitely find His Excellency, the most urgent thing is to find another safe place to hide His Excellency!"

As soon as Li Xiao finished speaking, Duke Vladimir couldn't wait to agree: "Yes, yes, this place is too dangerous, it's better to find another safe place to hide..."

He really didn't want to stay with Countess Maria Murapova for a moment, not only because it was too dangerous to dance on the tip of a knife, but more importantly, the work of the coachman was too hard. A person who loves leisure and hates work and only wants to spend time and wine has been tortured miserably these days.

You have to brush horses, shovel horse manure, drive a cart, eat pig food, and just watch Countess Maria Murapova flirting with other men. This is simply inhuman torture, isn't it? good.

If it weren't for the fact that he had nowhere to go, he really couldn't bear it for a moment!

Countess Maria Murapova gave him a blank look. How could she not know the real reason why this man wanted to leave?

Of course, she really wanted to get rid of this hot potato as soon as possible, but she doubted Li Xiao's level very much. Right now, the third part is frantically searching for Duke Vladimir, where is there a safe place to hide this guy?

If a bad person is caught by the third part, wouldn't it be a waste of time to fetch water from the bamboo basket?

"Where are you going to hide the duke?"

Li Xiao replied somewhat mysteriously: "One of the safest places!"

Countess Maria Murapova doesn't like this~www.readwn.com~ She snorted: "A safe place? You really like to joke. For Your Excellency, is there any safe place in Russia now?" ?Also, you haven’t told me how you can help us! You don’t think you can fool us with such empty teeth, do you?”

Li Xiao was not angry, and replied unhurriedly: "For you, there is no safe place, but it is different for me... As for the way to help you, isn't it very simple? To muddy the water That's it!"

Mix the water?

Countess Maria Murapova stared at Li Xiao suspiciously, muddying the water was easier said than done, at least she didn't have the ability. She didn't believe that a down and out grand duke could be stronger than her!

Li Xiao smiled and replied: "I have a good relationship with several foreign newspapers, they are very willing to listen to me tell some scandal stories about the Romanov family, such as the story about the tsar's jealousy with some people and the loss, especially the market! "

Countess Maria Murapova was taken aback. She probably understood what Li Xiao was going to do. Even if she thought she was very courageous, she thought it was a bit outrageous, and subconsciously wanted to object.

It's just that she stopped when she got to her mouth, because she suddenly thought that if this trick really works, then Alexander II and her so-called husband might be more disgusting than eating flies. Not to mention anything else, as long as it makes them disgusting, there is nothing wrong with it!

It's just that Duke Vladimir was not so crazy, he immediately jumped up and strongly objected: "This is too crazy, it will cause your majesty's crazy revenge! And...and it will ruin our reputation!!"
