Li Xiao is not a fool. Razumovsky called it "turning over to the housekeeper". In fact, he wanted to hide and avoid seeing each other as long as he could. He was using official business as an excuse, and his real intention was to keep Li Xiao out of the meeting.
In the living room, he felt that as long as he kept keeping Li Xiao waiting, sooner or later Li Xiao would become impatient and leave on his own.
Will Li Xiao leave consciously?
The answer is no.
Because Li Xiao would not sit around and wait stupidly, he smiled and said to the housekeeper: "Your Majesty the Earl is busy with official duties, so I am presumptuous in coming here. However, I also have an urgent matter here that I must talk to Your Majesty the Earl. Please excuse me."
Let me tell you, Your Excellency, that I will keep waiting, even if I have to wait until tomorrow morning to see Your Excellency the Count!"
In fact, there was no need for the housekeeper to convey anything. Razumovsky was hiding next door. He knew every move of Li Xiao, so he had a headache at that time. He knew that he might not be able to escape.
But he really didn’t want to see Li Xiao. After serving as commander of the military police in the Black Sea Fleet for several years, how could he not be clear about Li Xiao’s relationship with Kornilov and Nassimov? He knew that Li Xiao’s visit must be to help Cole.
There is definitely nothing good going on between Nilov and Nassimov!
After hesitating for about five or six minutes, he saw Li Xiao leisurely enjoying tea in the living room. He made it clear that he would not give up until he saw him. In desperation, he had no choice but to show up. He felt that even if they had to meet,
, but no one can change his original intention, and he will never participate in these nonsense!
"The sudden visit from His Excellency the Grand Duke really makes the humble house look brighter!"
If you just looked at the smile on Razumovsky's face, you would really think that he welcomed Li Xiao so much! But Li Xiao knew very well that the old fox in front of him was not an ordinary Pili Yangqiu, nor was he an ordinary difficult person.
All his expressions and words could be fake.
"I have wanted to visit His Excellency the Earl for a long time, but I have been busy with official duties and have not had the opportunity. Today, there happens to be an urgent matter that I must inform Your Excellency the Earl, so I came uninvited!"
Razumovsky clicked his tongue in his heart. He originally wanted to say a few words to delay the time, or simply use the opportunity to say hello to talk about him, but who would have thought that someone would never stray from his profession?
Let’s get down to business, it’s really difficult.
"I'm really not worried that His Excellency the Grand Duke has been thinking about me! In the final analysis, I did something wrong. I should have taken the initiative to visit His Excellency the Grand Duke earlier. I'm sorry for my rudeness, but I still hope Haihan!"
In this round of confrontation, the two of them had basically figured out each other's intentions. Li Xiao wanted to go straight to the point where he would clearly state his interests, but Razumovsky was slippery and refused to give in. Judging from what he meant, he was prepared to keep doing this.
Talking nonsense and refusing to get to the point at all.
If it were an ordinary person, there would really be nothing that could be done against an old youtiao like him, but Li Xiao was different. There was a secret to dealing with such an old youtiao: first of all, you must be thick-skinned, and you must not let the other person's shamelessness make you helpless.
You may feel awkward or embarrassed. The second thing is to always control the rhythm. Even if you force the other party to follow your rhythm, you have to force it.
Therefore, Li Xiao seemed to have not heard Razumovsky's words and said directly: "Your Majesty the Earl should already know that His Majesty has made a decree to remove Vice Admiral Bergh from the post of Commander of the Black Sea Fleet and appoint Kang
Grand Duke Standing serves as the acting commander of the Black Sea Fleet. Now that Commander Belcher has been suddenly dismissed from his post, it is inevitable that he will be resentful. As military police, we must be prepared in advance to prevent some people with double-minded intentions from engaging in sabotage activities!"
Razumovsky looked at Li Xiao in surprise, because he had already resorted to shameless tactics and refused to answer Li Xiao's words at all, but the other party still got down to business in a serious manner. What's going on?
At this time, his mind was full of criticism: "Is there something wrong with you? I'm just talking nonsense, okay? Why do you just talk about business on your own? Don't you understand human speech?"
!]
But it's useless even if Razumovsky curses in his heart, because Li Xiao has already said everything he needs to say, can you still stop him?
Of course it was impossible for Razumovsky to gag, but he also had other ways, which was to pretend to be deaf and dumb. He replied with a smile: "I'm not feeling well today, so I'm just recuperating at home."
Does His Majesty have a new decree? I will have to take a closer look when I go to the headquarters tomorrow. Apart from anything else, we will absolutely obey His Majesty’s arrangements. We will do whatever His Majesty asks us to do. Are you being careless..."
Li Xiao thought to himself what a bullshit answer this was. You are still avoiding the important and taking the easy. You pretend to obey the imperial edict, but in fact you are still fooling around.
Razumovsky was also quite satisfied with his reply. You said he didn't talk about business. He seemed to have answered Li Xiao's words in a decent manner, and also made his attitude clear, indicating that he fully obeyed the imperial edict.
But the question is what does Li Xiao mean? What Li Xiao means is that someone is going to cause sabotage now and let Razumovsky, the commander of the military police, take the helm. But his answer did not talk about this matter at all, saying that he was completely obedient.
Imperial edict, is this still a matter of discretion?
Li Xiao smiled slightly. He did not expect that Razumovsky would be so difficult to deal with, but he still said calmly: "This is the best. With your guarantee, Your Excellency, Count, I will give Konstantin
The Grand Duke has given an explanation... His Highness the Grand Duke has been worried about sabotage before. Now, Your Majesty the Earl, you have taken the lead in supporting the leadership of His Highness the Grand Duke. I believe that you will be able to actively carry out work and nip all acts of sabotage in the bud. This is very good. I believe that Your Highness the Grand Duke will do so.
You will be very satisfied!”
Razumovsky's face changed drastically when he heard this, because he had never expected that Li Xiao would say that. According to Li Xiao's intention, he came here on the order of Grand Duke Constantine, and now he is ready to reply to Kang
Grand Duke Standing said that he, Razumovsky, was prepared to cooperate with His Highness the Grand Duke and not allow others to cause damage.
The problem is that Razumovsky didn't mean that at all. He always just said that he would act in accordance with the imperial edict and never break the rules. He never said that he would help Grand Duke Constantine!
It can only be said that Razumovsky is an old fox. He was sure that Nicholas I’s imperial edict would definitely not state anything about preventing people with double-minded intentions from causing sabotage. The imperial edict would at best announce the appointment of Constantine.
The Grand Duke serves as the acting commander of the Black Sea Fleet. Razumovsky will certainly not object to these contents and will not take the lead in confrontation. As for other things, such as preventing others from causing sabotage, the imperial decree does not explain it, so he naturally does not need to do more.
