Pugachev also heard about the assassination of a British diplomat and was very interested in the case because there were so many theories. There were theories about who the murderer was. At that time, he even made a bet with Petukhov.
, but I really didn’t expect that this case was really related to Russia, and it was also the work of Count Speransky. This is a huge revelation today!
Suddenly Pugachev listened more carefully, wondering what was the reason for this. But unfortunately, Shuvanov and the man's voices became quieter and quieter, even if he started playing twelve
I was distracted and couldn't hear clearly.
Although I didn't hear the words clearly, the matter was basically confirmed. It must have something to do with Speransky. The reason didn't matter, there must be something inside. Pugachev's heart of gossip was suddenly burning, and then
Without even bothering to drink and eat meat, he quickly found Petukhov and reported this shocking thing!
"The handiwork of Count Speransky?" Petukhov was also shocked when he heard the news, and confirmed again and again: "Did you really hear it clearly?"
"You still can't believe my ears. I really heard that it was Count Speransky who did it. But according to Shuvanov, there seems to be a reason behind it. It seems that they also have guesses!"
Petukhov's brows knitted together. This news is really not good news, because it means that there are variables in their trip. Maybe Shuvanov is here to "pick up trouble" or clean up the mess!
In other words, they are likely to be involved in stormy waves. With Nicholas I's personality, he probably would not allow people who know secrets that they shouldn't know to live in the world!
"Any more guesses? What guesses?!" Petukhov asked anxiously.
Pugachev was also taken aback by his uncle's attitude, and quickly replied: "It seems that there is something wrong with Count Speransky's purpose. It seems that it is not entirely a mistake in his actions, he seems to have done it on purpose..."
This made Petukhov grin even more. If Count Speransky was also full of bad intentions, then their trip to Bucharest would be a trap, and it might lead to a narrow escape from death.
Petukhov walked back and forth several times, and then suddenly asked: "Have you made contact with the Grand Duke? How can we meet?"
At this moment, Petukhov was already full of worries. If he thought contacting Li Xiao was dispensable before, now he can't wait to join forces.
Pugachev answered honestly: "I informed Norris Monbitt that he would go to Bucharest and would wait for him at the Patriarch's Cathedral."
Petukhov nodded and solemnly confessed: "After arriving in Bucharest, I will find a way for you to act alone. You must wait for the Grand Duke at the Patriarch's Cathedral. I am afraid that this trip will be full of dangers, and it will not be possible for us all
You have to explain that you are in a foreign country!"
Pugachev was stunned. He didn't expect the matter to be so serious. He was still intoxicated in gossip!
In the next few days, as the liaison officer said, there was really no interrogation when taking the waterway, and the journey was almost smooth. Before arriving in Bucharest, I was stopped by a group of National Guardsmen, and I was released after paying a few dollars.
However, Shuvanov did not take Petukhov directly into Bucharest, but went ashore in the suburbs, stayed at a country farm arranged by the liaison officer in advance, and then disappeared without Petukhov and others.
.
"Shuvanov, you must have met Count Speransky," Petukhov whispered to Pugachev. "Once they meet, many things will become clear, which means what is left for us
There’s not much left to do. Tomorrow I will create an opportunity for you to leave the farm alone, and you can go directly to the Patriarch’s Church!”
Pugachev nodded solemnly, but Petukhov was not at ease and said with worry: "Be careful when dealing with Wallachians. Your Wallachian accent is too strong. It doesn't sound like anything."
Locals are easily exposed, so try to speak as little as possible, and don’t say anything except asking for directions!”
"Also, you are not allowed to drink! Hand over all the wine bottles and wine bags you carry with you! You are not allowed to buy wine with the money given to you! Go back quickly and don't delay. If you haven't met the Grand Duke, don't delay.
, try to come back on the same day! There is Shuvanov's spy in this manor, and you won't be able to cover it up if you disappear for too long!"
Pugachev set out. Speaking of which, he was really unfamiliar with the place. He was almost blind. He learned Wallachian on a surprise. He had to talk and gesture even if he asked for directions. And for Li
He was not sure whether Xiao would go to the date or not. God knew what kind of mess the other party had gotten into.
The Patriarch's Cathedral is located in the south of Bucharest. It was built in the 17th century. It is a typical Orthodox church. Specifically, it is the headquarters of the Wallachian Orthodox Church. Its status is very significant and it is a famous landmark.
Pugachev was also very lucky along the way. The Wallachians he met along the way were not too curious about him, a guy with a bad accent. After hearing his request, they were very enthusiastic to show the way to the Orthodox brothers.
Pugachev set out before dawn, and when he arrived at the Patriarch's Cathedral, it was already three o'clock in the morning. This made him a little worried. According to this efficiency, he would have to go back at two o'clock in the afternoon at most, otherwise he would definitely not be able to make it back in the evening.
.
What made him even more worried was that he only agreed on a meeting place with Li Xiao, but not on a specific time. What if he missed it?
Anyway, he stepped into the Patriarch's Cathedral with an uneasy heart. He didn't know if this trip would be fruitful. But what he didn't expect was that all the worries were unnecessary. He had just been in Christ's
He sat down in front of the cross, and it didn't take long for someone to find him.
"Sir, the company commander asked me to come to meet you. I am Vasily!"
Pugachev looked at the contactor with some suspicion and asked, "Who are you?"
Vasily replied: "Noncommissioned officer of the 748th Regiment, I have been ordered to contact you, sir!"
Pugachev felt a little relieved, but finally confirmed: "Do you know who I am?"
Vasily smiled: "Of course, sir, we had a fight with you after we got off the ship. You are Major Vadim Pugachev!"
Pugachev was completely relieved. He looked around and asked in a low voice: "Where is the Grand Duke? I have something urgent to discuss with him!"
Vasily nodded and replied: "Sir, please be patient. The company commander has arranged everything and you will see him soon. However, there are many people here and your clothes are too eye-catching. You will be out later."
After the church, you go around to the back of the church. There is a carriage waiting for you on the roadside. The driver is wearing a green coat. You tell him that you are Mr. Diomede's guest, and he will take you to meet the company commander!"
