After not sleeping well for two nights in a row, and being fed a lot of alcohol, you can imagine how uncomfortable Ilya was. The experiences of these two nights made him understand a little bit - I feel like Mulla
Vejov may have had uneasy feelings towards him.
In Ilya's own words, this old man is very bad, and he probably covets his beauty!
It's no wonder that Ilya has random thoughts. It's really Muravyov's tricks that are too damaging. How can he do things like this? It's just too weird.
However, Muravyov himself does not think it is a sin. He feels that Russia is now dominated by conservatives, who do not give reformists like them any room to survive. In the court, these old die-hards are conspiring together to change.
Isn’t this a disgrace to suppress them in every possible way?
If you want to defeat the enemy, you have to be stronger than the enemy. Since the enemy has suffered such losses, you have to suffer even more losses. As long as you can achieve your goal, you can use any means!
Muravyov really has such a true temperament. If you look at his biography, you will know that when he started the Qing Dynasty, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs actually did not agree with it, but he was able to go his own way to the end despite all the opinions.
I was stunned that I was tortured to death by the Qing Dynasty.
What does he rely on? What he relies on is this shamelessness and shamelessness. In his own words: "People must survive first. If you can't survive, everything is in vain. Even if you are shameless in order to survive, it is understandable!"
And Ilya is now a thorn in the old man's side. In order to protect Wallachia, he must have gone all out. How could he make Ilya feel better?
This painstaking effort is really rare. But Ilya is not an idiot. Although he can't figure out the reason for being tricked by Muravyov and thinks that the old man covets his beauty, this does not prevent the alarm bells from ringing in his heart.
He knew he had to find a way to deal with the old man's methods.
So Ilya spent the whole day thinking about countermeasures, which made him look even more gloomy. His whole temperament was gloomy, like dark clouds when a storm is about to come.
"Well, there must be something wrong with this guy at first sight!"
Li Xiao didn't need to be reminded by Alexei to notice Ilya's strange state. Although he couldn't figure out why this handsome man looked so bitter and resentful, his appearance was indeed very suspicious and it was hard not to make people feel uncomfortable.
Make other associations!
"Well, let's take a look and then talk!"
However, Li Xiao still did not rush to draw conclusions, because he could vaguely sense that there was something wrong with the atmosphere between the two envoys. Although on the surface, they were very polite to each other. It seemed that one respected the elder and the other loved the younger.
Model typical.
But Li Xiao felt that the two people seemed to be on guard against each other. Although this feeling was not obvious, several times when Muraviev said something, Ilya next to him felt like the hair on his head stood on end.
In addition, there were several times when Muravyov would pay special attention to Ilya when he focused on recording some situations he observed, as if he was peeking into his work notes.
Although Li Xiao failed to grasp that point, he could feel that as long as he grasped the key issues, these two special envoys would not be a problem. Unfortunately, this short day was really not enough.
"...The arrangement for tomorrow is as follows. We will go to Giurgiu to inspect the situation of the local garrison, and then stay there for a day. By the way, we will have a look at the situation of the Wallachian Danube Fleet. It just so happens that the fleet has a new warship ready to serve.
The two special envoys can observe the service ceremony!"
When Alexey revealed the schedule for the third day, Muravyov and Ilya immediately showed two completely different expressions. The former was interested, while the latter was frowning.
Li Xiao immediately attracted attention, and then deliberately asked: "Colonel? Do you have any different opinions on going to Jiurjiu for inspection?"
Ilya was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a serious face: "Of course not. I have long wanted to see the beautiful scenery of the Danube River. This arrangement is very good!"
Of course, Ilya didn't think so in his mind. He hadn't had a good rest in the past two days, and then he had to rush to Jiurjiu tomorrow. It was a bumpy journey and obviously very tiring, especially considering the fact that Muraviyo would be there in the evening.
The husband might still be a demon, and he doubted that he would have any energy after arriving in Jiurjiu.
In fact, he gritted his teeth and persisted during today's inspection. If it weren't for his personality, he really couldn't resist. But even if he could withstand it, considering that Muravyov was still determined to do so later, he felt that he had to do it early.
Made plans.
Taking advantage of Li Xiao's conversation, Ilya smiled and said: "Your Excellency, I have no other hobbies. I just like to visit famous places. You should be familiar with Bucharest. Can you take me there to appreciate the scenery of Wallachia?"
Woolen cloth?"
Ilya's sudden request made Li Xiao a little strange, because the request was too sudden, not to mention that Ilya had not yet inherited his father's title. From the perspective of his status, it was really a bit arrogant to let Li Xiao be the guide.
In addition, Alexey actually took them around the city of Bucharest in the past two days. As for seeing the scenery, it was actually seen. And it was so late at night to see the scenery!
Anyway, he felt that this request was too strange, but Li Xiao did not refuse. On the contrary, he felt that this was a good opportunity to have some personal contact with the deputy envoy and see what kind of human nature he was.
Li Xiao immediately agreed: "Of course there is no problem, I will pick you up at the hotel at seven o'clock in the evening!"
On the other side, although Muravyov was chatting with Alexey, his ears and heart were actually thinking about Ilya. When he heard that Li Xiao agreed to take Ilya out for an excursion, he suddenly felt a thrill in his heart.
.
[Is this little brat planning to do tricks behind my back? 】
[No, I can’t let this little brat out of my sight!]
So he immediately laughed three times and interrupted: "I have also heard for a long time that the scenery in Bucharest is very different from our country, and I am just trying to find time to appreciate the exotic scenery in Wallachia. Since Your Excellency, the Grand Duke, is willing to act as a tour guide, count me in."
how?"
Muravyov's words made Li Xiao a little puzzled. He didn't understand why the old man wanted to get involved. Just now, Li Xiao wanted to test Ilya alone. It would definitely not work if he added this old guy. But it would be a bit awkward to refuse.
It was too blunt, so Li Xiao thought for a while and decided that he might as well agree first and see what tricks they were up to.
"It's an honor. Let's meet at the hotel at seven o'clock!"
Li Xiao agreed immediately, which made Muravyov relax a little. He felt a little proud when he thought that he could continue to monitor the old man Ilya, so he glanced at Ilya, as if to say: "You kid
