When Baryatinsky and Uvarov were discussing how to identify and deal with Dmitry Milyutin, the latter also found Count Rostovtsev in a fixed location in the library.
He calmly said to the count: "Baryatinsky did take action against Count Speransky as you said. I mixed sand into it according to your instructions. Count Speransky should be fine for the time being.
"
After a pause, he asked in confusion: "Is Count Speransky also part of the plan and the one you arranged?"
Count Rostovtsev closed the book and replied calmly: "To be precise, no! He was a complete accident, but his accident brought us a lot of positive effects."
Dmitri nodded and replied matter-of-factly: "Is that why you will help him?"
"No!" Count Rostovtsev shook his head and said, "I'm not helping them by asking you to take action, at least not from my point of view. It even means using them to attract attention."
Dmitri was startled and looked at Count Rostovtsev in surprise. He wondered if there was something wrong with his ears, so that he was hearing things wrong.
"Don't be so shocked." Count Rostovtsev said with a smile, "I told you that Count Speransky's success in Wallachia was an accident. Even I didn't expect that they could achieve this level.
, but I still don’t think they can accomplish anything in the end, after all, our common enemy is too powerful. Their efforts are in vain, and the result will be the same as old Count Speransky.”
Dmitri tried hard to digest the massive information mentioned in Count Rostovtsev's words. Combined with what he mentioned before to attract Count Speransky's attention, he somewhat understood why Count Rostovtsev let him
He stepped in to help.
"You may have guessed it, but I still have to tell you that asking you to help is not just because we need Count Speransky to continue to attract the attention of those old stubborns," Count Rostovtsev explained naturally
, "He alone is not enough to give Uvarov a headache, it is best to add you!"
Dmitri was a little dumbfounded, because this was the first time he had seen someone say such shameless words so generously, and Count Rostovtsev openly asked him to attract fire. This was so outrageous!
"Don't worry, you are safe," Count Rostovtsev shrugged nonchalantly and continued to explain: "I know Uvarov. This old fox likes to hide behind the scenes all his life and he will not attack you head-on.
Yes, it will only lead those minions to cause trouble for you."
Even so, Dmitri did not feel relaxed, because he had long understood the terror of Uvarov from Count Rostovtsev. This man was cunning and had extremely rich resources. Many times his enemies
It's over if we don't understand how he took action.
Dmitri didn't think he was Uvarov's opponent, not to mention he knew Baryatinsky very well. This man was too proud, so proud that any failure would make him resentful, and today he stirred up trouble
He knew that Baryatinsky would never give up!
"I just hope he won't give up," Count Rostovtsev said with a relaxed smile. "For Uvarov, Baryatinsky is a very important chess piece. It was he who placed Alexander
The crown prince is the anchor of stability, and he will not allow anything to happen to Baryatinsky."
Dmitri looked at him suspiciously and asked, "So?"
Count Rostovtsev chuckled and said: "So it's time for you to show some ferocious fangs to Baryatinsky!"
Dmitri was stunned again. Only people like him who knew the relationship between Baryatinsky and Crown Prince Alexander knew how scary what Count Rostovtsev had just said. Even though he had become the second-in-command around Crown Prince Alexander.
No. 1 person, he also knew that it was impossible to shake the relationship between Baryatinsky and Crown Prince Alexander. That was simply not possible.
Suddenly he smiled bitterly and said: "Are you overestimating my ability? I can't be his opponent. The crown prince will not turn against me!"
Count Rostovtsev shook his head and said: "Who asked you to confront him head-on? You two have fought head-on for three times, and you are no match for Baryatinsky. What you have to do is not to fight head-on, but to
Harassing him sideways, and constantly interfering with his good things like today, will neither make Crown Prince Alexander think that you are deliberately targeting Baryatinsky, nor give Baryatinsky a reason to expand the situation.
Just grind it slowly a little at a time and bring out his true fire."
Dmitri snorted again. Only he knew how difficult it was to grasp this balance, and he didn't always find such a suitable reason to mess with it.
"Then you should use your brain more and come up with more solutions. Besides, I don't ask you to provoke everything. You just need to add sand to some key issues!"
Even here, Dmitri still felt a lot of pressure, but he also had an idea in his mind that he wanted to try it. Even though he knew it was dangerous, he just wanted to try it - even he himself didn't know why.
Such a ridiculous idea.
On the other hand, Count Rostovtsev revealed his mentality: "You have grown up. You are no longer comfortable being a submissive chess piece and want to try your own skills. Use it well, my friend, let me
Let’s see how powerful you are!”
If Baryatinsky knew that he had been targeted by Dmitri and was used as a touchstone by Count Rostovtsev, he might be very angry. Because from the beginning to the end, he did not think that Dmitri was a rival.
, although sometimes Dmitri showed some abilities, he felt that those things were just child's play. As long as he got serious, he would crush Dmitri in a minute.
So he followed Uvarov's instructions honestly and was not prepared to talk to Dmitri, but was only prepared to do his own thing. And then? Then he would soon know how difficult Dmitri was.
Let’s not mention this later, let us turn our attention back to Bucharest. Count Vladimir, who had just saved his life, was surprisingly angry after learning the latest developments. He never thought that someone would dare to attack him.
He planted a mole next to him, and this mole almost killed him. What's even more annoying is that the bastard who planted the mole even pretended to tell him that he was ready to cooperate...
