Struggle in Russia

Count Rostovtsev stopped Li Xiao and said with a serious face: "Leave? If you are not afraid of death, just leave, I will never stop you!"

Li Xiao was stunned for a moment and then replied with a smile: "What? You changed your tricks again? What is it this time? You said you are not tired, is it fun to tease us juniors every day?"

Count Rostovtsev looked at the playful and smiling Li Xiao and said coldly: "Are you kidding me? You don't have to believe me, just leave. But if something happens and Igor dares to chatter with me, then I will never recognize him." of!"

Li Xiao stopped smiling after hearing what Count Rostovtsev said, because Count Rostovtsev would never make fun of old Igor. Obviously this time he meant it!

"Someone wants to harm me?" Li Xiao asked tentatively.

Count Rostovtsev snorted: "What? You're not leaving? Weren't you so awesome just now? You don't have to pay attention to anything, just leave! Just leave!"

Li Xiao is not stupid and knows that now is not the time to vent his anger. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, you will be the one who suffers the consequences.

He quickly apologized and asked for forgiveness: "...You don't remember the faults of villains. Don't be like me... You'd better tell me quickly, what is going on? Who is going to deal with me?"

Count Rostovtsev rolled his eyes: "Who wants to deal with you? Don't you have any idea at all? How many people have you offended in the past few years? How many people's good deeds have been ruined? Someone who wants your life may "Less?"

This is true. Li Xiao traveled through time and disturbed the good deeds of too many people and moved the cheese of too many forces. Not to mention little Karami, the prominent figures include Alexander II, Grand Duke Constantine and many other dignitaries.

These people are rich and powerful. If they really want to suppress their bad intentions and kill them, they have all the means!

However, judging from the fact that Count Rostovtsev can detect the danger in advance, the person who wants to take action this time is likely to be Alexander II.

"You guessed it right. His Majesty indeed wanted to do something against you!" Count Rostovtsev replied playfully, "He knew about your advice to Nikolay Milyutin, and knew that it was you who sabotaged it. If you do something bad to him, I will naturally settle the score with you."

Li Xiao didn't find it strange. Don't think of the czar's methods too cleverly. In many cases, their methods were also rough. For example, when Pushkin was killed, it was actually made of Nicholas I's black gloves.

All of Russia knew what was going on, but no one dared to tell the truth.

Now Alexander II was so angry that he wanted to kill him, and there were only a few methods. He could either find an official way to find an excuse to convict him; or he could find a black glove to anger him like he did to Pushkin, and then Play a so-called duel; or send someone to assassinate him.

Of these three paths, Alexander II naturally wanted to take the first one. If he could completely deny Li Xiao from the front and completely crush his personality, that would naturally be the most satisfying.

It's just that Li Xiao's handle is difficult to grasp. Anyway, Alexander II has worked hard for so long without any results.

The middle strategy is to find black gloves and kill Li Xiao in the name of a duel, but even if this method of operation works, it will have consequences.

Because after getting out of Pushkin's shoes, such methods made it very popular in the aristocratic circles, and there were countless people who secretly poked their spines and complained about Nicholas I.

And it was precisely because of Pushkin's death that Nicholas I had to react positively, whether it was hypocritical or crocodile tears, anyway, he issued a decree strictly prohibiting duels.

In other words, dueling is theoretically an illegal and criminal act. As long as Li Xiao is shameless enough to directly report the provocation similar to Pushkin's, he can send the provocateur in.

What's more, even if Li Xiao agreed to the duel without reporting it and was killed like Pushkin, public opinion would be very unfavorable to Alexander II.

So it seems that the only method Alexander II could choose was to send an assassin to assassinate Li Xiao.

Although the repercussions of doing so will be equally bad, as long as the killer is not caught, there will be no proof. Who could accuse him of Alexander II killing his cousin?

Count Rostovtsev glanced at Li Xiao: "You are quite analytical. But have you ever thought that His Majesty might be more black-hearted and greedy than you thought?"

Li Xiao was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting!" Count Rostovtsev snorted coldly: "The three strategies you analyzed, the upper, middle and lower strategies, are indeed quite right, but you guessed a little wrong. Your Majesty wants to use all three, so you must be sure to die!"

Li Xiao was surprised now. Is this Alexander II's version of children making choices? Do adults want them all?

But thinking about it, this really fits his style. He is the kind of person who pretends to be very open-minded on the surface but is actually full of bad intentions. Find a book at www.zhaoshuyuaｎ.com In some respects, he is worse than me!

But Li Xiao is not particularly nervous. He is absolutely sure that he will not be caught in the officialdom. What's more, he is not a weakling who only gets beaten without fighting back. Want to mess with him? Let's see who has tougher methods. Anyway, he will definitely let those Alexander II thugs have a taste of their power.

As for provoking him to play a duel, he is a man of integrity and is more stable than an old dog. What could anger him?

Count Rostovtsev snorted coldly: "The target they chose is Miss Victoria. I have to say that Duke Dolgoruky and Count Shuvanov are quite good at engaging in such crooked ways!"

Li Xiao was suddenly shocked. His relationship with Victoria had finally improved recently, and they finally felt like a couple. If someone makes a fuss about her at this time, it will indeed be a bit troublesome.

In particular, Count Rostovtsev specifically named Duke Dolgoruky and Count Shuvanov as the troublemakers. Li Xiao will never forget that the great Justice Constantine fell to the tricks of these two insidious men in history.

He blurted out: "Why did they join forces?"

Count Rostovtsev smiled and said: "Surprised? This is what I suggested to Your Majesty. It seems that the two of them put a lot of pressure on you!"

Li Xiao was so surprised that he didn't scold him. He was a pockmarked person if he didn't call him pockmarked. It's been going on for a long time, but you, the old cunt, are still causing trouble. What do you mean? Want to kill him?

Count Rostovtsev calmly explained: "Do you think Your Majesty won't miss them if I don't tell them? It's better for me to tell them than for Your Majesty to give them orders behind my back. Then you won't have any defense at all. Wouldn't it be worse? ?”

Li Xiao was a little dumbfounded. What is this? Suddenly he said angrily: "Then I still have to thank you?"
