"You told me that the commissioner of the third department has arrived in Bucharest for three days, but you have lost track of him. Now he is nowhere to be found, and you still don't know what the commissioner is here for!"
Li Xiao felt headache and irritated when he looked at the middle-aged man standing in front of him with a worried look on his face.
This person's name is Mikhail Konstantinovich Valenov, and he is a subordinate of Count Rostovtsev. According to Count Rostovtsev, this princess is mainly responsible for intelligence work, and her main task is
They were keeping an eye on Nicholas I's most intimate spies.
It's just that this person's work ability makes Li Xiao really dare not compliment him. He can lose track of everyone. This is not shameful enough to say, and this person is also very convincing: "The main reason is that we are not familiar with the streets of Bucharest...
"
Although this is an objective reason, Li Xiao still feels that this person's ability is limited. The most important thing is that he doesn't like this guy's work attitude. He has obviously messed up the task, and he still looks confident. How could you mess it up?
Are you still proud of your job?
Li Xiao looked at him and asked calmly: "Then what do you mean by coming to me? Do you want me to try to find this commissioner?"
Mikhail Konstantinovich Valenov smiled and said: "It would be best if you could find the person, but this commissioner is a senior spy with very clever methods and is best at hiding.
I’m afraid that the whereabouts cannot be found by half-hearted military police.”
What he said was quite rude. He was just pointing at Li Xiao's nose and saying that his people were useless because they were incompetent. If someone else was so rude, Li Xiao would have directly ordered the guards to throw him out.
But who told him that this was Count Rostovtsev? Li Xiao could not give face to anyone, but he could never give face to that count. So Li Xiao didn't say anything, just looked at Wa coldly.
Rennoff, let's see what he wants to do.
Valenov continued: "Of course, if you are willing to send people to assist us, I believe we can find it soon."
Li Xiao still didn't say anything and still looked at him coldly, which made Valenov a little embarrassed. He coughed twice and continued: "Of course, even without your help, my people can take it out."
Find it out, so this visit to you is mainly to inform you that His Majesty may be secretly paying close attention to the situation in Wallachia, and you must be more careful, Your Majesty the Grand Duke!"
Li Xiao looked at Valenov and really wanted to kick this guy out who felt a little too good about himself. Because can he see these things? Do you still need to remind him?
But in the end he didn't say anything, just expressed that he knew, and then said to Valenov: "You are free to search for the commissioner in Bucharest, but it is best to abide by the rules of Bucharest. If your people go too far
, or interfere with the normal order here, then it will be useless even if Count Rostovtsev personally comes to say good things to you, I will throw you into prison until you grow moldy!"
Valenov was stunned. He did not expect that Li Xiao would suddenly fall out, because he always felt that Li Xiao and Count Rostovtsev should have a superior-subordinate relationship. As Count Rostovtsev's right-hand man, he should be
should be respected.
But now it seems that the other party does not like or welcome him, and is even threatening him. The meaning of his words is disgust and dissatisfaction. This makes Valenov a little angry, he feels that he is here
Li Xiao, who is helping and is a guest, should be given face regardless of whether he looks at the monk or the Buddha.
But now he felt like he had been slapped several times in the mouth, and he was suddenly very angry.
Of course, he didn't dare to get angry casually. This came from Count Rostovtsev's lessons over the years. Anyone who didn't follow his instructions would eventually be driven away. He didn't want to lose this promising job.
.
Therefore, facing Li Xiao's lack of face, he could only endure: "My people are all experts, I believe they will not cause trouble. But I must remind you, Your Excellency, that professional is very difficult to deal with. If
Because your mistakes have caused losses to the interests of Count Rostovtsev, the responsibility lies entirely with you!"
This is Hong Guoguo's threat. Unfortunately, Li Xiao is not scared. This kind of harmless threat is useless to him.
He replied very coldly: "Okay, I have made it clear what I need to say. If your people want to cause trouble in Bucharest, you'd better inform me first, otherwise you will bear all the consequences on your own!"
After saying a few words, Valenov left in a huff, and Li Xiao's face turned as dark as the bottom of the pot.
This sudden appearance of the third commissioner caught Li Xiao off guard. He did not expect that Nicholas I would suddenly send a high-level spy to Wallachia, because there was no sign before. Could it be that the old bastard was...
Do you suspect anything?
Li Xiao knew that next he would not only have to deal with the complicated international situation and battlefield situation, but also play a cat-and-mouse game with this so-called commissioner, and maybe even deal with the self-proclaimed idiot Valenov. Suddenly he had a headache.
.
It took him a long time before he issued an order: "Order the entire city to tighten martial law and strictly investigate all suspicious elements, especially those who have arrived in Bucharest in the near future. Any abnormalities must be reported immediately!"
However, he knew that this order did not actually have much effect. If the commissioner was really prepared and was as difficult to deal with as Valenov said, then he could hope that this kind of momentum would be greater than the actual whole city.
Searching for martial law and discovering its whereabouts is almost impossible.
The reason why Li Xiao did this was actually to frighten the enemy and muddy the waters. On the one hand, he would frighten the increasingly restless external forces, and on the other hand, he would cast stones to find out the depth of the water.
The one who can really hunt for the commissioner has to rely on his elite military police, but these people are really limited, and there are too many purposes that need to be focused on now. It is really beyond the power to allocate manpower to hunt for the commissioner.
What's more, even if the commissioner is found, what can he do? He can't do it, so Nicholas I will still know that there is a problem in Wallachia. At that time, he will send more than one or two people to check the situation.
Unless he wanted to make things get out of hand, Li Xiao could only stare at that guy, and his mood became even worse when he thought about it.
He sighed and added: "Keep an eye on Valenov, find out how many there are, and make sure they don't mess around with us!"
