In the Russian State Guesthouse, Liu Chengfeng squatted in front of the fireplace in the room and occasionally threw a piece of chopped wood into the burning fireplace.
Seeing that the fire in the fireplace was getting stronger, Liu Chengfeng stood up contentedly, clapped his hands and walked towards Song Yang, He Lin and the others who were lying on a bench similar to a later generation sofa, looking a little idle.
"Brothers and brothers, don't tell me, the people of Tsarist Russia are quite smart! Install this kind of heating thing called a fireplace in the room, and light the fire whenever the weather gets cold, and soon the whole thing will
The room became steaming hot.
Although it looks very different from our Dalong stove, it has the same purpose. It seems that the intelligence of this barbarian cannot be underestimated.
It's a pity that most of our Dalong houses are made of wood, which is different from their stone houses, so we can't even try to learn from them.
Otherwise, the entire capital will probably be flooded."
Song Yang put his hands behind his head and suddenly sat upright when he saw Liu Chengfeng's regretful expression. He picked up the herbal tea in front of him and moistened his throat.
"My Commander-in-Chief, can you please focus on business? Why do you think you are so concerned about a fireplace for heating in winter?
Shouldn't we discuss the specific matters of meeting the little empress of Tsarist Russia now?
Three days is neither long nor short. We can't wait here for three days without any preparation and then go directly to the palace to meet Elizabeth Serena, right?
This is a matter of great importance to you in your life. Can you show a little more attention and respect for Her Majesty, the little empress of Tsarist Russia?
Even if you two don't have the fate to form a good relationship between Qin and Jin, Third Uncle... humph... we have to handle the things His Majesty has entrusted to us, okay?
With your behavior like this, I can’t help but suspect that you came to Tsarist Russia not to make friends with the little empress of Tsarist Russia, but to go on an outing.”
He Lin, Yang Huaiqing and the others also sat up straight and nodded in agreement: "General Soldier, Deputy General Soldier, what you said makes sense. Please take a look at our coming to Tsarist Russia."
"The general agrees. Now we know nothing about the situation of the little empress of Tsarist Russia. Three days later, we will go directly to the palace of Tsarist Russia to meet the little empress of Tsarist Russia. The general always feels a little unsure."
Liu Chengfeng looked at the strange expressions on the faces of several people, raised his arms and stretched out to sit opposite Song Yang and the others.
"I don't want to be like this, and I also want to pay attention to the purpose of our coming here, but you guys don't understand the words of Tsarist Russia at all.
As for my commander-in-chief, it is true that I learned some Tsarist Russian language from Jevs and the others, but I only remembered a few words over and over again, not even a second sword.
I really want to get close to the Tsarist Russians at the State Guesthouse, so I can take the opportunity to inquire about the little queen Elizabeth Serena. The key point is that my commander-in-chief doesn’t have that ability.
All our conversations have to be translated for us by Jeffs and the other ten people. They are not fools. Once we show too obvious, they will definitely notice something.
They are always Tsarist Russians. You expect them to help us without any hesitation. Do you think this is possible?
If nothing else, isn't it enough to say that Meng Khanfu deliberately led us astray?
Their hearts are always towards Tsarist Russia. What do you want me to do? Ignore Jevs and the others and go directly to the Tsarist Russian officials in the state hotel to talk to each other. I speak my Chinese and they speak theirs.
Tsarist Russian?
Isn't that nonsense?
We have already discussed what should be discussed along the way. We cannot effectively contact the Tsarist Russians, and if we discuss it again, it will still be like this.
In this case, why should I continue to work hard? Isn’t that what I am doing when I am full?”
"Um...this..."
"That seems to be the truth."
"Then what, having said that, I still feel a little weird, I always feel that it is inappropriate to do nothing."
"Yes, as the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will win any battle. The more we know about Tsarist Russia, the better it will be for us. Taking advantage of these three days to understand a little bit about Tsarist Russia, our chances of winning will be better.
Some."
"Yes, we have Mr. Lu!"
Liu Chengfeng picked up the teapot and poured a few cups of tea, then waved his hand to Song Yang and others to help themselves.
Liu Chengfeng held the tea cup and walked towards a young Confucian scholar sitting on a chair next to Song Yang and the five generals, holding a book in his hand and reading silently.
"Lord Lu Tai, what do you mean?"
The young Confucian scholar Lu Tai put down the book in his hand, respectfully took the tea cup from Liu Chengfeng and remained silent for a moment.
"Thank you very much, Commander-in-Chief. I also feel that Commander-in-Chief's idea is better. Just wait and see what happens, and stay the same to cope with all changes."
Liu Chengfeng gave Lu Tai a thumbs up: "Heroes see the same thing."
"Don't dare!"
Liu Chengfeng picked up a cup of tea and blew it, crossed his legs and sat on the chair opposite Lu Tai and glanced at everyone.
"Master Lu, did Jeffs and the others do anything when they translated the words?"
"Don't worry, General Soldier. They were quite honest when translating the words of Urinen and Gogolov, and they didn't do any tricks."
Liu Chengfeng nodded with satisfaction, took a sip of tea and looked at Song Yang and the others.
"You have all heard what Mr. Lu said. Jeffs and the others are quite honest at the moment, but that's only for now. But you must be on guard against others!
Mr. Lu, as an official of Honglu Temple, is already familiar with the Russian language. Only a few of us know about it.
Once it is revealed in advance that there are officials in our Dalong Mission who are familiar with the discourse of Tsarist Russia, our only trump card when facing the little empress of Tsarist Russia and the princes and ministers of Tsarist Russia will no longer exist.
Now let Mr. Lu accompany me to get close to the Tsarist Russians in the state hotel. Of course, we can find out something about the little empress of Tsarist Russia. However, the final result is only very little effect, and Mr. Lu will also be exposed.
The presence.
What about the other way around? As long as the Tsarist Russians think that there is no one in our Dalong Mission who is proficient in Tsarist Russian, all communication can only rely on their Tsarist Russian Yevs and the ten original surrendered soldiers.
In this way, they will be less alert to us when talking to each other. At that time, with Master Lu there, we can get a lot of unexpected gains.
We don't have to rack our brains to trick them. We can get a lot of information that is beneficial to us by pretending to be confused.
In this case, why not do it?
Sometimes taking the initiative on many things may not be more beneficial than sitting on the fishing platform and waiting for the fish to take the bait, what do you think?"
Song Yang and others stared blankly at Liu Chengfeng's meaningful expression, and looked at each other in confusion. No one said anything.
Song Yang drank all the tea in the cup, played with the tea cup in his hand with a complicated expression, and looked up at Liu Chengfeng who was smiling.
"Commander, you were not so insidious when you were in the capital...ahem...you were as wise as you were foolish!"
Liu Chengfeng's smiling face froze, and he tossed his sleeves angrily and walked towards the fireplace next to him.
"It's so windy and snowy outside. I don't have much chance to go out and experience the customs and customs of King Gullah. I'd better just stay in the room and have some fun."
Mahjong? Chess? Go? You tell me, I don’t care."
"How about I go and call Qian Lushi over? There will be just two tables of mahjong for the eight of us."
"Then why are you still standing there? Let's help set up the table together!"
