The Dnieper River has begun to freeze. This winter is much colder than usual, so that the frost period is much earlier.
This is certainly not good news, especially for Ulanov. This news is terrible. Once the Kiev river section is frozen, it means that he will not be able to leave by boat.
Especially after a new blizzard hit Kiev, he could no longer endure it and ordered to set off immediately.
"But, sir, there are still some gold, silver and antiques that have not been shipped..."
Ulanov was very conflicted. Of course he liked money, but it was not worth it to lose his life for money!
So he categorically ordered: "Then you stay to supervise the loading of the remaining gold and silver, and then join me as soon as possible. I will wait for you in Dnipropetrovsk!"
Well, when the housekeeper heard the news, his expression suddenly changed, and he wanted to slap himself in the mouth. Who didn't know that Kiev would definitely be in chaos after the news of Ulanov's escape spread, and it would not be easy to leave safely at that time.
Already.
Why do you think he talks too much? Now he's trapped himself!
After struggling for a long time, the butler felt that his life was more important, so he replied cautiously: "Sir, it would be better for me to accompany you. After all, Nikolai Ivanovich is not trustworthy at all. If he gets into trouble on the way,
, you are alone and weak, I'm worried..."
Ulanov glanced at him, waved his hand and said: "I will be careful about him, but the money is very important. I don't feel comfortable letting others be responsible. Let's do this. I will send more people to you. You must be safe."
Get this money out safely and safely!”
The butler opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. He definitely didn't want to stay, but Ulanov's attitude was very firm and he probably wouldn't be allowed to object. However, he had secretly made up his mind that once Ulanov left, he would stay as long as possible.
One day, and then immediately ran away regardless of whether all the money was shipped.
The money belongs to Ulanov, but his life belongs to him. Even if he tries his best to keep the money, what good will he gain in the end? Ulanov is so great that he just praises him a few words and gives him three melons and two dates at most.
.
The housekeeper made up his mind, and Ulanov and Nikolay Ivanovich also made final preparations. On this snowy night, the pair of despicable masters and servants secretly met at the dock.
"Let's go, it's getting late, the rebels may launch an attack at any time..."
Nikolai Ivanovich was interrupted by Ulanov before he could finish his words. He looked at the snowy pier with a sneer and said slowly: "Don't worry, we still have guests, why don't we entertain them?"
Walk?"
Nikolai Ivanovich was dumbfounded. How could he not know that there were still guests? What kind of guests needed them to stay entertained at this critical moment? Isn’t Ulanov stupid?
However, as soon as he had doubts, he heard gunfire, and a hail of bullets hit him from the other side of the pier.
Now he was even more confused, thinking that Ulanov was going to take advantage of the enemy, so he immediately drew his sword and prepared to capture the thief first.
"Don't be nervous! I have no intention of going back on my word and making a name for myself!" Ulanov sneered, "Do you still remember that my ship was bombed? Since it wasn't your fault, it means someone is eyeing me. Think about it.
What is the purpose of these guys blowing up the ship? Isn’t it to keep us? If they can do it once, they will definitely do it a second time!”
Nikolai Ivanovich blinked and asked: "You mean those mysterious attackers?"
Ulanov snorted coldly: "Yes, it's them! It must be these damn bastards! This time I have set up a dragnet, and I want to see who is behind it!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand and ordered: "Let your people cooperate with me in attacking and destroy them as soon as possible!"
Nikolai Ivanovich looked at Ulanov suspiciously. To be honest, he still didn't trust this old master. He specially brought more people with him this time to evacuate, just to prevent Ulanov from making trouble.
What if this is still Ulanov's trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain, deceive his people and then suddenly do evil things to him?
Nikolai Ivanovich did not move, which made Ulanov angry. He urged impatiently: "What are you doing standing there, why don't you act quickly and eliminate these bastards as soon as possible so that we can leave as soon as possible?"
!Don’t forget, if I don’t speak for you after you get out, how will you, the city defense commander, explain to His Majesty that you left your post without permission!”
The more Ulanov said this, the more cautious Nikolai Ivanovich became. He replied calmly: "Then I have to tell your Majesty the truth and tell you all the good things you have done in Ukraine, Your Majesty the Governor.
The explanation is clear!"
Ulanov was so angry. It was not that he had been threatened before, but this was the first time that the white-eyed wolf he had raised was threatened by a slave whose status was inferior to his own.
This is simply a shame!
For a moment, he wanted to fall out, but in the end he held it back. He could only persuade patiently: "We are all grasshoppers in the same boat. If I don't live well, you will definitely feel even worse. The most important thing now is to be clean."
Clean up those messes and leave quickly. I promise you, there is absolutely no reputation here!"
Nikolai Ivanovich looked at Ulanov suspiciously for a long time, and finally reluctantly called his adjutant: "Send a team of brothers to support the Governor, take a look at that
What’s going on here!”
Ulanov was speechless. It was obvious that Nikolai Ivanovich didn't believe him, otherwise he wouldn't have just sent a team of people to see the situation. But he couldn't say anything yet. Who would be the first to make a splash?
It was indeed him, and looking at Nikolai Ivanovich's despised appearance, people would become more suspicious if he continued to make demands.
Besides, if he sends a team to take a look at the situation, the truth will soon be revealed. Then he will know that he has done nothing wrong, and will naturally send more people to help. This is just a matter of time, so just be patient and wait a little longer!
It was naturally Anton who launched the attack. He gathered his most elite troops and prepared for a desperate fight. To be honest, he was not very sure, especially since Ulanov's people were not particularly panicked after the war started and quickly regained their composure.
He began to organize a counterattack, knowing that the other party must be prepared.
But he was not surprised. If Ulanov was really that stupid and knew that his ship had been bombed but did not take precautions, then this person would not be able to play with the nobles of Kiev.
Anton looked at the situation on the battlefield and ordered: "Let the brothers work harder, apply a little more pressure, and attract their attention as much as possible!"
