Boris in the carriage looked at Duke Mikhail's mansion like a curious baby. For a small and declining nobleman from the provinces like him, not to mention the Duke, even the Marquis had never seen it before. The luxurious foreign style attracted him.
I am so envious that I wish I could live in such a mansion one day.
Vishniak was a little calmer, but it was limited. In terms of background, he was not as good as Boris. Strictly speaking, he was not a noble, and could only be regarded as the illegitimate son of a noble. Therefore, he had no chance to live in the garden mansion, and he had no chance to meet the Duke.
level big shot.
Li Xiao was also looking at the mansion of Duke Mikhail. Strictly speaking, he was no different from Boris and Vishnyak. He had never lived in such a mansion before. But in later generations, information was more developed, movies and television
The various luxury houses in the city broadened his horizons and prevented him from being like a local leopard.
Moreover, Li Xiao is not particularly fond of the French-style architecture of this era. He prefers the simple and lively style villas of later generations, rather than this square and vigorous architectural style. Although Mikhail's mansion is large, the rooms are also small.
There are many, but the layout is too small. He prefers a spacious and bright room.
"Don't be nervous, guys," Leonid saw that Boris and Vishniak were a little nervous, and quickly comforted him: "My uncle is a nice person, very kind!"
However, this level of comfort was of no use. Boris and Vishniak were still nervous and nervous. Although they were not at a loss, their bodies were still tense. They still didn’t see the owner, but met Mihai.
Prince Er, it's fine if these two don't walk on the same hands and feet.
"It's me who should be nervous, okay!" Li Xiao patted them and joked: "The person that the Duke wants to test is me. It's me who abducted his lovely nephew, not you. He will face me if he makes things difficult or is demanding.
, why are you so nervous for me?"
Vishniak and Boris thought for a while, and it seemed to be the truth. Someone might have attracted Duke Mikhail's attention more. They were probably buying one and getting one free. If someone attracted the firepower, they would probably
It's just a little transparent.
This both relaxes and disappoints them. Who doesn’t want to be the center of attention, who wants to be a little transparent? Even in the face of overwhelming pressure, they are willing to be the protagonist, not a supporting role like a green leaf, or not even a supporting role at all.
He's a clown who plays a part-time role.
At this moment, Vishniak and Boris secretly made up their minds to catch up, to become the central role on the stage, and to let the world remember them!
Under the leadership of Leonid, Li Xiao and the others went straight to Duke Mikhail's living room. Unlike yesterday's grand ball, there was no noise, and there were no countless flatterers and all kinds of disgusting flattery.
Prince Mikhail was still wearing the uniform of an artillery general covered with medals. Not a single wrinkle could be seen on his clothes, which were as straight as if they had just been ironed.
His short hair stands straight up one by one, and his eyebrows are like two machetes, sharp and eye-catching. His eyes are deep, and the gray-brown eyes have a soul-stirring and intimidating effect. Coupled with the two short beards on his lips, the whole person looks smart and capable.
"Gentlemen, you are welcome to be our guests!"
Duke Mikhail's voice is rich and magnetic, as charming as a baritone. The voice is not loud but the enunciation is clear, and every word enters your ears meticulously and orderly, just like a well-disciplined soldier.
"Hello, Your Excellency the Duke. Thank you for the invitation, excuse me for disturbing you!"
Compared with the tall Duke Mikhail, Li Xiao was like a hobbit. He had to raise his head to talk to this sturdy Duke. To be honest, it was a bit uncomfortable.
"Welcome, His Excellency the Grand Duke! Your arrival will make Pengpi shine!"
After some useless politeness, the guests of honor took their seats. Duke Mikhail sat at the top with a majestic look, as if he was a general with a group of small staff. Anyway, it was hard to tell that this man had any talent.
With a little bit of kindness, those eyes were like searchlights, making Boris and Vishnyak slightly nervous.
Even Leonid was a little moved. He had never seen such an energetic uncle. In the past, Duke Mikhail was always very amiable, either telling young people war stories and bragging, or making witty remarks to ladies.
He looks more like a retired veteran cadre enjoying life than a general of an empire.
And today, what's going on with this sharp murderous aura? Is the domineering aura coming out? He clearly didn't mean this yesterday, right?
Leonid was a little dazed. But Li Xiao was still very relaxed. He withstood most of Duke Mikhail's Sharingan attacks as if nothing happened. He was not talking and laughing, but at least he was content.
Actually, Li Xiao before time travel was not that powerful. He used to be a lowly guy, he would definitely be nervous in front of big people, and he would even be timid when speaking in front of everyone. But after time travel, I don’t know that he was fused with the Grand Duke.
The relationship between the soul and the soul, and even more incredible things have been witnessed, and once the courage has been developed, you will no longer be surprised.
In short, he is very calm now. He even feels that compared with when he was shot to death before, Duke Mikhail's gaze is just childish.
Duke Mikhail is actually a little surprised. There are not many young people who can bear his gaze without panicking, but there are definitely not many. More little kids will be very uncomfortable under his gaze, and soon they will
Bold and guilty, showing timidity and showing his true colors.
But the three young men in front of them. Needless to say, the leader, Li Xiao, was as heartless as he was eating and drinking when he should. Fortunately, he had time to comment on his wine and snacks. It seemed that he was not here to meet the test but to come here.
Be a food critic.
Of course, Duke Mikhail was not particularly surprised. After all, he had done his homework yesterday and collected a lot of recent information about Li Xiao. The Grand Duke was angry with Nicholas I in person and even faced the fake shooting.
It’s no surprise that he has an unshakable face and an iron will.
What interested Duke Mikhail was the performance of Vishnyak and Boris. He also collected information about these two people and knew that their backgrounds were very ordinary. A scene like today should be unheard of.
But the performance of Boris and Vishnyak was not bad either. They were just slightly nervous. Duke Mikhail could tell that they were just uncomfortable and nervous, rather than guilty or lacking in self-confidence.
This surprised and interested Duke Mikhail. Judging from their behavior at this moment, these two are definitely not showy, and they are also capable. Young people like this who are capable but have a very bad background are also seen in Russia.
Rare.
Duke Mikhail became more and more interested in them. He felt that Leonid had made some very unusual friends this time, and maybe they would all be characters in the future!
