When Li Xiao's words fell into Alexey's ears, it was truly a comfort, because Alexey knew very well where Li Xiao's pain points were. He felt that Li Xiao's relationship was too limited.
There are only a few people who can build relationships, such as Duke Mikhail and General Lazarev.
Although these two people are in high positions and must know Nicholas I's bottom line, Alexei feels that Li Xiao's relationship with these two people is not to the point of confiding in his heart. People who know it may not necessarily tell you. The reality is
It's so cruel.
But Li Xiao is really not just a consolation. His family knows about his family affairs. Li Xiao actually has connections. For example, he knows that his old housekeeper is a bit mysterious. He has a pretty good network of connections. He seems to be close to the mysterious Rostow
Count Vtsev has a close relationship.
If old Igor could inquire about the situation from Count Rostovtsev, with that count's ability, he could wipe out Nicholas I's pants in a matter of minutes.
It’s just that Li Xiao knew that Count Rostovtsev was not easy to deal with. This mysterious count had always been secretive, and it was impossible to guess his thoughts. According to Li Xiao’s idea, this count had more thoughts than Nicholas I.
It's hard to guess, God knows what his attitude will be.
Anyway, Li Xiao's attitude is that if Count Rostovtsev is willing to give the letter of approval, everything will be easy, and Nicholas I will be able to get everything done in a matter of minutes, even if it takes him a day
It is no secret that you pamper your mistress several times for a few minutes at a time.
Of course, the earl might not say anything, in which case everything would be in vain. Li Xiao knew that if that person didn't want to talk, it would be useless for anyone to come. Even Nicholas I probably wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
So he didn't say anything to Alexei, he just said to give it a try, just in case Count Rostovtsev couldn't handle it.
"Your little master asked you to ask me about Nikolai's true attitude towards Austria. I want to know where his bottom line is?"
Count Rostovtsev was happy, looked Igor up and down, and asked: "Why did your little master ask you to ask me?"
Igor said angrily: "Who did he ask if he didn't ask you? It's not like you don't know how hard Nicholas has suppressed him over the years. How can he have any decent connections within the court? How could someone other than an important official in the court know about this kind of thing?"
!”
Count Rostovtsev laughed and said: "It seems that in the eyes of your little master, I am still an important minister of the country! What an honor!"
Igor rolled his eyes at him and said: "Stop talking nonsense and say yes quickly!"
It's just that Count Rostovtsev's mouth is not so easy to pry open. This guy full of bad taste said slowly: "Why does your little master think that I know? What did you tell him?"
Igor became increasingly frustrated: "I didn't say anything. I, Igor, will definitely do what I promised, unlike someone... Huh!"
Count Rostovtsev nodded, he knew the temper of old Igor. This man made the most promises, and he really meant what he said. Since he didn't say it, then of course he didn't say it.
He smiled and said: "Your little master has become more and more sensitive. He has really acted like that in these years! He is indeed a little fox. I said that the Romanov family is not so embarrassed.
Yes, this is a big game of chess, isn’t it?”
Igor became more and more speechless, because he didn't think Li Xiao was playing chess. It had been hard enough for him to raise Li Xiao up over the years, so why did he have the leisure and energy to play chess? Those who have been playing chess all the time were actually
It's Count Rostovtsev, okay? This bastard is the old cunning chess player, okay?
Of course, Igor is also a little confused, because Li Xiao's performance in recent months is indeed very different from before, as if he suddenly had an enlightenment, and his level has been rising steadily, which surprises him constantly!
However, Igor did not give Count Rostovtsev a good look, and was fooled by him with a speechless and disgusted look: "What kind of chess are you playing? We don't have that skill, but you, a serious chess player, can you do it less?"
Talk nonsense. If you want to say something, just say it. If you don’t want to say it, I’ll knock you down!”
Count Rostovtsev shook his head. He was actually just joking. He didn't really think that Li Xiao or Igor had the ability to play chess. And judging from Li Xiao's intention, I'm afraid he was planning to go to Austria to cause trouble. So why?
What if you don't go with the flow?
For Count Rostovtsev, he naturally hopes that the bigger the matter in Austria, the better, because the bigger the matter there, the more beneficial it will be to his plans. As for Li Xiao's level of troublemaking, it is quite worth looking forward to.
Look at the business this boy went through in Wallachia. It was an unexpected surprise, and it indirectly helped him a lot!
Therefore, Count Rostovtsev did not hide anything. He sold it to Nicholas I directly, revealed his bottom line, and told Igor: "Let me tell you little master, it is okay to do things, but pay attention to propriety."
, because Nicholas attaches great importance to Austria, and once he knows that someone is secretly causing harm, I am afraid he will be ruthless!"
This is indeed no joke. Count Rostovtsev knew Nicholas I too well. This guy was a bastard who appeared to be benevolent and moral, but was actually a thief and a prostitute. This guy had a particularly strong desire for revenge, and he would definitely retaliate!
"Any special advice?"
Igor also knew the seriousness of the matter, and he didn't want Li Xiao to really anger the tyrant, so he asked specifically.
"And tell your young master to pay special attention to Paskovich!" Count Rostovtsev thought for a while and solemnly warned, "Don't look at that old guy looking illiterate and naughty, but in fact
He is also full of evil, so bad that he will ooze pus. This time your little master will definitely side with Prince Mikhail, that is, he will compete with him for food. Be careful of what he does! That guy can do anything.
!”
In the end, he was worried that Igor didn't pay enough attention to him, and warned him very solemnly: "Yermolov was tricked by him back then. You should think about it carefully!"
Igor was surprised. He naturally knew Yermolov's name. A veteran like him had fallen into the hands of Paskovich. That old gangster was too cruel!
Count Rostovtsev hummed: "If you don't get Yermolov down, how can Paskovich get the credit? Otherwise, how can he get the title of Count of Yerevan! That guy is just for the credit.
He is unscrupulous! Be more careful! This time he will probably be even crazier for the title of prince!"
Igor suddenly took a breath of cold air and exclaimed: "Prince title? Nikolai is willing to spend such a large amount of money?!"
