Struggle in Russia

"Why don't you beg that damned Nicholas I to call out the Preobrazhensky Guards, or at least change to a position that doesn't drink the northwest wind."

Li Xiao muttered to himself, but he didn't have much hope for it, because according to the memory of his predecessor, his uncle was not a good bird, he looked like a gentleman on the surface, but in fact he was a cunt. It's fine if you don't pay attention to him, and you still secretly bully him.

For example, he took advantage of the Wanguan family property left by Grand Duke Constantine, and this uncle unceremoniously kept it for him. In name, it is to prevent him from wasting money and squandering his family property, and he will return all of it when he becomes an adult, but in fact it cuts off his financial income, and only allocates a small amount of living expenses every month, let alone popular food and spicy food. Yes, I can barely maintain my basic life, otherwise my predecessor can be 16 or 17 years old and still be skinny and skinny like 13 or 14 years old?

Even the old-fashioned and autocratic tsar deliberately sent his predecessor to the army to exercise. It sounds nice to train him to be a real man, but in fact he deliberately punished him. He left the most difficult and arduous positions to his nephew. And that guy's own son is just gilding it with ease. Whenever the former has a slight complaint, that guy dares to say that everyone is treated equally, and he still despises the former and only knows that he is unmanly in complaining.

Li Xiao just wants to kick that bastard's feet whenever he thinks about it, how can he stand and talk without pain in his back, if he has the guts to let your son stand on guard in the ice and snow all day, let your son eat bran and swallow vegetables, and let your son spend all day long Being asked for trouble, what!

Anyway, Li Xiao was full of resentment towards that so-called uncle, and he really didn't want to humbly beg that old bastard until it was absolutely necessary. He might have some annoying words waiting for him!

But these days are really difficult, and there is no prospect of the slightest. As the saying goes, people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Li Xiao and his predecessor were both bent by fate.

He gritted his teeth, and decided to ask that old naughty uncle after he finished his shift. Even if he hugged his thigh and begged him, he would have to change his position. He really couldn't hold on.

Three hours later. Li Xiao felt that his legs were completely numb, and there was no warmth in his whole body. The musket on his shoulder seemed to be extremely heavy, and he was crumbling under the weight. But the comrade-in-arms who should have come to take over the shift has still disappeared.

Of course, Li Xiao is used to it. According to the memory of his predecessor, as long as he is on guard, the successor will always be late. Half an hour when it is better, and an hour when it is worse is commonplace. Love chant.

But Li Xiao can't leave the picker and leave. This is the Winter Palace, the core of the Russian Empire. As long as he kills the picker without waiting for the handover, that old naughty uncle will definitely use the excuse that he made a mistake and punish him. Jue, anyway, the property left by Lao Tzu has been cut off more than once.

After another 40 minutes of waiting, the successor finally arrived. Seeing that guy taking his time doing foreign work, Li Xiao wished he could hit his face with the butt of a gun. But he still held back, because he really couldn't beat it. Look at the five big and three rough and hulking backs of others, and look at my own body like bean sprouts, don't look for death!

Carrying a heavy musket, Li Xiao moved back to the barracks with almost the last bit of strength. When the heavy oak door slammed shut behind him, he felt that he was exhausted, and really wanted to just lie down and sleep. past.

But he can’t do this, because the mission is not over yet. If he just lies down like this, what awaits him is not a warm bed, but a severe punishment. As a soldier, he must first return the weapon to the arsenal, and then he can rest after get off work.

Li Xiao walked back to the arsenal step by step, handed back the musket trembling, and then let out a long breath: "I'm finally free!"

"Andrei Konstantilovich, the company commander ordered you to be responsible for cleaning the bathroom tomorrow morning!"

Li Xiao glanced at the armory manager speechlessly,

Don't think about it, this is another intentional prank on him, he is responsible for cleaning the bathroom almost every day, it is certain that he will not dare to resist, right? But he really didn't dare to resist. He sighed again from the bottom of his heart, let's talk about tomorrow's matter tomorrow, anyway, he is cold and hungry now, and he just wants to get warm quickly.

Just as Li Xiao was about to leave, the arsenal manager added: "By the way, Major Leonid Aleksandrovich came to look for you just now and has been waiting for you for half an hour!"

Li Xiao lamented again in his heart: "Why are there so many messes today!"

But he really can't avoid seeing him, because Leonid Aleksandrovich really can't be provoked, this guy's father is the famous Duke Alexander Mikhailovich Gorchakov, future Russia The prime minister and foreign minister of the empire, the real power giant who can make St. Petersburg tremble by stomping his feet.

"What does this guy want to do? Is it to make up for the knife?"

As I said earlier, the important reason why Li Xiaoneng and Li Daitao became stiff was that his predecessor was killed when he participated in the trial of the Knights of St. Andrew, and one of the leaders of the Knights of St. Andre happened to be Leonid Alexander Lovi , and it was this person who suddenly increased the difficulty of the membership trial that led to the death of his predecessor. It can be said that Li Xiao is the mastermind behind such hard work. Anyway, Li Xiao is full of hatred for the duke's son, and really wants to cut him into pieces.

Leonid Alexander Lovi is tall and straight, his appearance is as sharp as an ancient Roman sculpture, full of masculine beauty, every muscle in his body is pregnant with explosive power, and his gestures are majestic. Xiao, the bean sprouts standing together, is like the tall and mighty Wu Song meeting the down-and-out Wu Dalang who sells cooking cakes.

Leonid in Yushu Linfeng made Li Xiao feel a little embarrassed, especially when he had to look up at Leonid. Of course, this emotion was only for a moment, and soon he realized that this guy in front of him seemed to be his enemy, what was he doing here?

In an instant, Li Xiao became vigilant. Could this guy come to make up the knife after seeing that he didn't die? It must be uneasy and kind for a weasel to give a New Year greeting to a chicken.

Li Xiao watched Leonid silently, making up his mind that if anything went wrong, he would immediately turn around and run away, putting his life first!

But the strange thing is that Leonid also watched him silently without saying a word, his eyes were a little erratic, and there were some strange emotions flashing.

This kind of silence continued, neither of them intended to take the initiative to break the deadlock, they just looked at each other silently, like a pair of passionate friends.
