An unmarked carriage drove slowly through the streets of Bucharest. Like many other similar carriages, it was inconspicuous and ordinary, just like a grain of sand in a pile of sand.
But in this ordinary carriage, Alexei Speransky gently opened the curtains and carefully looked at the city.
He was no stranger to this city. A few years ago, he had lived in this city for a period of time. At that time, it was a quiet and peaceful city. There were not many soldiers with live ammunition or various patrols.
No people could be seen working on the fortifications.
At that time, the city was simple and straightforward, and relatively friendly to the Russians. He once enjoyed a sumptuous dinner in the palace of Prince Georgi Bibescu, and had pleasant conversations with the pro-Russian Wallachian nobles.
Who would have thought that almost overnight, all this would be reduced to ashes, leaving behind only a city that hates Russia and is hostile to Russia.
Of course, Alexey also admitted that Wallachia was indeed much happier and happier after complete freedom than before. It can be seen from the expressions of the people on the streets that they like this complete freedom.
You can sing freely, dance freely, laugh loudly, and make lively noises. It is much more lively than during the Russian puppet rule. This relaxed atmosphere makes Alexey a little envious, because the atmosphere in Russia is better than that under the Russian puppet rule.
Wallachia was several times more serious.
Nicholas I was like a dark curtain, a dark cloud, covering the whole country so airtight that it made people breathless.
It is a pity that Alexey knows that he is the enemy of all this. In order to safeguard Russia's interests, he must bring darkness back to Bucharest and Wallachia. This makes him very depressed and frustrated, so he is
One trip of work really doesn't bring much excitement.
"Sir, Baron Kosoy's house has arrived."
Alexey, who was lost in thought, did not realize that he had arrived at his destination until the coachman reminded him. Baroness Zina Kosoy was his old friend and a very hidden pro-Russian aristocrat of Wallachia. This Baroness was in
He had managed to survive the previous turmoil very well, and now it is one of the old connections that Alexei can maintain contact with in Wallachia.
"Dear Earl, is it really you? It's so exciting, your arrival makes me burst into tears!"
Baroness Kosoy, who was wearing heavy makeup, welcomed Alexei with great enthusiasm. If the housekeeper hadn't been watching, she would have given him a passionate kiss.
"Madam, I'm sorry, I'm late."
Alexey responded politely and appropriately. While kissing the back of Baroness Kosoy's hand, he asked in a low voice: "Is it convenient to talk here?"
Baroness Kosoy gave him a look, and Alexey immediately knew that it might not be so convenient, so he immediately stopped talking about business and chatted like a nobleman who was visiting an old friend or looking for a woman.
For a long time, after Baroness Kosoy sent away the troublesome butler with an excuse, she sighed and said: "Quisance is the new butler hired by that damn ghost. This guy is a bit mysterious and doesn't look like a real butler.
, rather like a spy who came specifically to monitor me!"
"That dead guy" naturally refers to Baron Kosoy. This lush-headed Baron Alexei is no stranger. In short, he is a soft-boiled man, except for having a good skin and a title of baron.
Other than that, that brother has no other abilities.
He has no industry, no skills to survive, no sense of shame, and most importantly, no moral integrity. The man who used to be best at business was the Immortal Dance. He deliberately sent his beautiful wife to seduce the nouveau riche who had just entered the upper class, and then
Catch someone in bed and then blackmail them.
Then at one point, he kicked the Russian iron plate of Alexey, which was regarded as losing his wife and losing the army. Anyway, that man was an out-and-out scumbag.
Alexey teased: "What, now it's the Baron's turn to be the master of the matter?"
Baroness Kosoy flattened her mouth and complained aggrievedly: "That damn guy somehow hooked up with those guys from the liberal faction. After Prince Georgi Bibescu was overthrown, those guys gained power, and even
This also made him ascend to heaven and become a real person. Now that damn ghost has been appointed as the assistant to the mayor of Bucharest, he looks like a human being!"
The news that Baron Kosoy had turned to the liberals made Alexey's heart sink. This was not good news. He had thought that the unscrupulous couple were one of his own, but it seemed that the situation was not as optimistic as he thought.
Baroness Kosoy didn't seem to notice Alexei's abnormality, and was still complaining, complaining that Alexei was a heartless person who put up his pants and left, and complained that his former good friend was suddenly killed.
After being imprisoned, she no longer enjoyed chatting or watching the theater. She complained that the supply in Bucharest was tight and she could not buy high-quality foreign luxuries.
"The worst thing is that people here are in panic! Everyone has no idea about liberals, and they are worried that you will suddenly come back and kill them. No one wants to go to jail or be hanged!"
Alexey's heart moved, and he heard this complaint: Although the liberals were in power, their foundation was not solid. Even the family members of liberal followers like Baroness Kosoy had no confidence in them.
This can be used to advantage. I believe Baroness Kosoy is not the only one who has similar thoughts.
Alexei immediately knew what to do. He smiled and asked: "Are many people worried?"
Baroness Kosoy Jiao Didi complained: "How come there are so few? It's just that the liberals have the gun and no one dares to say it openly!"
Alexey asked again: "Is Fontana still alive?"
Baroness Kosoy rolled her eyes at him, poked his forehead with her finger, and spat: "Humph, you stinky men are all virtuous, eating from the pot and looking at the pot, why are you worried?
How are you doing with your old partner? Can’t wait to renew our relationship!”
Alexey's face heats up. Fontana is not only his old lover, but also one of his connections in Wallachia. This woman has been working for him secretly, and she is also considered a person in the third part, and
Compared with Baroness Kosoy, Fontana is more reliable.
"I have something serious to do!" Alexey explained seriously, "Aren't you worried about us coming back? I tell you, this is for sure!"
Baroness Kosoy showed a surprised expression, and after a while she asked cautiously: "Really?"
Alexey smiled: "Otherwise, why would I come to Bucharest!"
Baroness Kosoy nodded slowly, and then begged delicately: "Then you must protect me!"
