Struggle in Russia

Pugachev also heard about the assassination of a British diplomat, and he was very interested in this case because there were too many stories. It is said that the murderer belongs to anyone. At that time, he had made a bet with Petukhov, but he really did not expect that the case had something to do with Russia, and it was written by the Earl Speranski. This is a shocking news today. ah!

Immediately Pugachev listened more seriously, wanting to know what was the reason for this. But unfortunately, the voices of Shuvanov and the man became smaller and smaller, even if he tried his best, he couldn't hear clearly.

But although I didn't hear the words clearly, the matter is basically confirmed. It must have something to do with Speranski. The reason doesn't matter. Anyway, there must be something inside. Immediately, Pugachev's heart of gossip was blazing, and he no longer cared about drinking and eating meat, and found Petukhov in a short time to report this shocking melon!

"The work of Earl Speranski?" Petukhov was also taken aback when he heard the news, and confirmed again and again: "Did you hear clearly?"

"You can't believe my ears. I heard it for real. It was the Earl Speranski who did it. He just listened to Shuvanov. There seems to be a reason for it, as if they also had a guess!"

Petukhov frowned. This news is really not good news, because it means that there is another change in their trip. Maybe Shuvanov is here to "repel rape" or clean up his hands!

That is to say, they are very likely to be involved in the turbulent waves. With the personality of Nicholas I, I am afraid that he will not allow people who know the secrets they should not know to live in the world!

"Any guesses? What guesses?!" Petukhov asked anxiously.

Pugachev was also taken aback by his uncle's attitude, and quickly replied: "It seems that the Earl Speranski's purpose is wrong, it seems that it is not entirely a mistake in his actions, he seems to be doing it on purpose..."

This made Petukhov grin his teeth even more. If Earl Speranski was also full of bad water, then their trip to Bucharest would be a dragon's den, or a near death.

Petukhov walked back and forth several times, and then suddenly asked: "Have you got in touch 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, he couldn't wait to join hands now.

Pugachev replied honestly: "I informed Norris Mengbitt that he will go to Bucharest and will 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 in the Patriarch Cathedral. I'm afraid this trip is full of dangers, if not, we all have to confess that we are in a foreign country! "

Pugachev was stunned, he didn't expect the matter to be so serious, and he was still indulging in gossip!

In the next few days, as the liaison personnel said, there was really no inspection on the waterway, and almost all the way was unimpeded. Before arriving in Bucharest, he was stopped by a group of National Guards, and he was released after paying a few money.

However, Shuvanov did not directly take Petukhov into Bucharest, but went ashore in the suburbs, lived in a rural farm arranged by the liaison officer in advance, and then disappeared without Petukhov and others .

"Shuvanov is definitely that you met Count Speranski," Petukhov whispered to Pugachev, "Once they meet, many things will become clear, which means that what is left for us There are not many things to do. Tomorrow I will create an opportunity for you to leave the farm alone, and you go directly to the Patriarch Church!"

Pugachev nodded solemnly, but Petukhov was not at ease, and said full of worry: "Be careful when dealing with Wallachians, your Wallachian accent is too strong, it doesn't seem like Local people. It is easy to expose, so try to talk as little as possible, except for asking directions, don't make a sound!"

"Also, no drinking is allowed! Hand over all your jugs and wine bags! You will never be allowed to buy alcohol with the money given to you! Hurry up and come back without delay, and if you haven't waited for the Grand Duke, don't delay , Try to come back that day! There is Shuvanov's eyeliner in this manor, you can't cover it up if you disappear for too long!"

Pugachev set off. Speaking of which, he was so unfamiliar that his eyes were almost blackened. Wallachian was learned by surprise. Moreover, he was not sure whether Li Xiao would go to the appointment, God knows what the other party was like.

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 Wallachia Orthodox Church. Its status is very prominent and it is a famous landmark.

Pugachev had good luck along the way. None of the Wallachians he met along the way were very curious about his poor accent. After hearing his request, they were very enthusiastic to show the Orthodox brothers the way.

Pugachev set off before dawn, and when he arrived at the Patriarch's Cathedral, it was already high in the sun, which made him a little worried. According to this efficiency, he had to go back at two o'clock in the afternoon at most, otherwise he would not be able to make it back at night. .

What made him even more worried was that he only agreed with Li Xiao on the meeting place, but he didn't agree on a specific time. What if he missed it?

Anyway, he stepped into the patriarch's cathedral with an uneasy heart, wondering if this trip would be fruitful. What he didn't expect was that all his worries were unnecessary. He had just sat down in front of the cross of Christ, and it didn't take long for someone to find him.

"Sir, the company commander asked me to meet you, I am Vasily!"

Pugachev looked at the connector suspiciously, and asked suspiciously, "Who are you?"

Vasily replied: "The non-commissioned officer of the 748 regiment, I was ordered to connect with you, sir!"

Pugachev was 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 disembarked. You are Major Vadim Pugachev!"

Pugachev was completely relieved, looked around, and asked in a low voice, "Where is Your Excellency the Grand Duke? I have something urgent to discuss with him!"

Vasily nodded and replied: "Sir, please be calm. The company commander has arranged everything, and you can see him in a while. However, there are too many people here, and your clothes are too eye-catching. You will come out later." After the church, go around to the back of the church, there is a carriage waiting for you on the side of the road, 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!"
