Struggle in Russia

After Li Xiao and the Gelsen father and son finalized the cooperation plan, they bid farewell to the enthusiastic William I and Frederick Carr's uncle and returned to Vienna. This trip was a complete success except for some details, and there were even many surprises.

Anyway, when he arrived in Vienna to see Duke Alexander again, the latter gave him a high evaluation, thinking that he was born to do diplomacy, and it was too talented to run into the army.

It’s not that Duke Alexander’s words against his will or platitudes, but he really believes that Li Xiao should come to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and cooperate with him to see if what he did in Berlin is simply over fulfilling the task. .

Not only did they reach cooperation with Frederick William IV and William I, but they also won the friendship of the brothers. Especially the latter praised Li Xiao in his letter. Look at that posture, Li Xiao is almost regarded as A year-end friend and a confidant.

Li Xiao is actually a little proud of these things, but on the surface he is still calm and calm: "Since the matter here has come to an end, I think I should say goodbye to you, Alexei reminded me. In a hurry, I have to return to Bucharest quickly!"

For Li Xiao, helping Duke Alexander and Duke Mikhail to solve the troubles and maintain the relationship is just a matter of convenience. What he really cares about is the situation in Bucharest and Wallachia. After all, there will be his basic game in the next few years. He intends to do a good job with Alexei, it is better to open up the situation.

So Li Xiao didn’t want to stay in Vienna for a moment. After all, it’s not a few years since 1856. If he doesn’t manage well, Wallachia’s fat will be snatched away by Britain and France. , That's a shame.

But the Duke of Alexander stopped him: "Don't go back in a hurry, if I am you, it is best not to rush to Bucharest!"

Li Xiao was stunned. He didn't understand the meaning of Duke Alexander's unpredictability. He asked cautiously: "What happened to Bucharest?"

Duke Alexander shook his head and said, "No, everything is normal over there!"

"that……"

The Duke of Alexander did not continue to sell the bargain, but revealed the mystery: "Bucharest, Alexei, they are all as usual. Although there are still many remnants of the National Party in the locality, they can’t affect the overall situation... I let you Stay, or is it because you might be in trouble?"

Li Xiao was taken aback and asked, "I have trouble here?"

It's not that Li Xiao doesn't believe in Duke Alexander, but he feels that although there are troubles on his side, they are not fatal problems, at least it is impossible to affect his return to Bucharest.

The Duke of Alexandria smiled and said: "You are really a nobleman, how forgetful you are! Your Excellency, you have not forgotten that you will be an adult in March this year, right?"

Li Xiao was stunned. To tell the truth, he really forgot this side, because he always felt that he was thirty instead of a 17-year-old kid. After the Duke Alexander reminded him, he woke up:

"You mean your majesty is going to be against me?"

The Duke of Alexander smiled unpredictably, neither affirmed nor denied. Anyway, the expression made Li Xiao's teeth tickle. He hated these elders who rely on the old and pretend to be mysterious, but before and after Count Rostovtsev There is Duke Alexander, and he really has nothing to do with these two masters.

The Duke of Alexandria steadily introduced: "You are an adult. According to the agreement of the year, your father's property should also be handed over to you... You know that it is a huge property. It is inevitable that people will be jealous... and you are in the family. The popularity among them is not particularly good, so it is better to be careful!"

After a short pause, Duke Alexander suggested with a subtle smile: "Those people in the country now think you are in Wallachia. If they are malicious, they will probably go to Wallachia to deal with you. Avoid the edge!"

Li Xiao understood it all at once, it was nothing but Nicholas I, the old man who didn't want to hand over his cheap old man's property, so he was going to play with him. But Duke Alexander got the news ahead of time and asked him to dodge one or two, avoiding the storm, and when the transfer of the property was completed, the old man forced Nicholas I to stop.

Li Xiao knocked sideways and asked, "Is the situation so serious?"

The Duke of Alexandria replied calmly: "Be careful not to make a big mistake, if you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of it!"

Li Xiao curled his lips, and Duke Alexander refused to explain how serious the matter was, which made him difficult to judge. He didn't know whether Nicholas I had already started the action or was brewing, which made him feel passive and was very upset.

Li Xiao tried it again without giving up: "Just tell me the truth, my uncle sent someone?"

However, the Duke of Alexander was still tight-lipped and refused to give any plausible promises. He still didn't want to return to Bucharest as long as Li Xiao paid attention to his safety. He would not say a word for more information.

In fact, it was not that the Duke of Alexander was trying to play mystery, but he was also not sure what Nicholas I would do, because he had only received a notice from the Duke of Aldorf to remind Li Xiao to be safe. But the Duke of Aldorf didn't make it clear either, because Nicholas I actually didn't make a decision and hesitated.

But the Duke of Aldorf and the Duke of Alexander knew Nicholas I’s temper very well. UU reading www.uukanshu.com knew that this man would never give up, so there is nothing wrong with being careful.

"You should take a good rest during this period of time." The Duke Alexander did not intend to continue to squeeze Li Xiao's cheap labor.

rest?

If Li Xiao had a chance to rest before crossing, he would definitely be very happy. He couldn’t ask for such a good thing that he could still get a salary without studying or going to work. Anyway, he was full of laziness at that time, and he would decide if he could lie down. Not sitting.

But after crossing, I don't know why he suddenly felt lazy so boring, even if he was asked to work every day, he would be happy to 996 every day. Although there is pressure from Nicholas I and the times, but the mentality is more different.

Before the journey, Li Xiao always felt that he was studying and working for others, and he was exhausted and could not get too many benefits, so why bother?

But after the journey, he worked for himself, and every result he made belonged to him. This feeling of being a boss and starting his own business was naturally full of energy, and he wouldn't feel tired!
