Struggle in Russia

Count Uvarov was stunned. The Preobrazhensky regiment, which had just looked like wolves and tigers in front of him, rushed into the square and captured all the nobles gathered at the entrance of the Winter Palace without explanation.

That ruthlessness and decisiveness reminded Count Uvarov of the era of Nicholas I. Before, he felt that that era was far away, but now he felt like he had been awakened by a basin of cold water!

A Tsar is always a Tsar, even a weaker one is still a Tsar!

He once understood how dangerous it is to be with a king like a tiger, and how cautious you need to be. However, he had forgotten this period of time.

And now Alexander II reminded him with bloody reality, never make mistakes, otherwise you will not be able to bear the consequences!

"Earl, what should we do now?"

Chernyshev was anxious. Those elite conservatives in the square were now being lumped together. If there was really something wrong with them, then the vitality of their department would be greatly damaged!

He suggested impatiently: "How about we go to see His Majesty immediately?"

Count Uvarov sighed and flatly refused: "No! If we come forward at this time, it will add fuel to the fire. Stay calm first and see the situation before we talk!"

Chernyshev is obviously reluctant, because there are many of his best friends here. If something happens to these people, he will not be able to explain on the one hand, and on the other hand, his strength will be greatly damaged. At this critical moment, every point Strength is precious. If his strength is greatly reduced, the future may be very dangerous!

"Earl, they are all here because of your reputation. If you don't pay attention, who will respond to your call in the future? I think you'd better try to see His Majesty!"

Count Uvarov's face suddenly turned ugly. Could he not understand what Chernyshev said? And do you think he is really not in a hurry?

When something goes wrong, it can be said that he is more anxious than anyone else, but can being anxious solve the problem?

But what Chernyshov said made him seem timid and only concerned about himself. Is he, Count Uvarov, that kind of person?

Talking like this really chilled him and made him unhappy!

Count Uvarov narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Do you think I am timid?"

Without waiting for Chernyshev to answer, he immediately added: "The situation is unclear now, and His Majesty's attitude is also unclear. Going to His Majesty at this time will only make Your Majesty even more angry. That is not saving people but killing people!"

He pointed at the nobles arrested by the military police and said sternly: "If you want to kill them, then go to His Majesty, otherwise you should be more honest!"

After saying that, Count Uvarov tossed his sleeves and left. It could be seen that he was really angry, and he left Chernyshev on the spot.

Similarly, Chernyshov was not satisfied and was also very angry. He felt that Count Uvarov was irresponsible and a dead Taoist friend. Yes, maybe going to Alexander II is really not a good idea. If that doesn't work, you can at least go find someone else to get the news!

For example, ask old Adlerberg to find the Empress Dowager, or simply go find Duke Ordorf in person. He will not believe that such a big thing will happen without any hint or sign!

But Count Uvarov was unwilling to do anything. He just wanted to protect himself and wait. Chernyshov could not accept this anyway. In his opinion, Count Uvarov's behavior was too irresponsible.

Now he feels very regretful. If he had known this was the case, he would have killed him without getting involved in this mess!

But now it's too late to regret it. The only thing Chernyshov feels happy is that he didn't stupidly walk onto the Winter Palace Square, otherwise he would have been trapped. At that time, Count Uvarov would probably just sit back and watch. Don't care about his life or death at all!

The more Chernyshov thought about it, the angrier and angrier he became, and the more he thought about it, the more regretful he became. He regretted getting so close to Count Uvarov.

If I had known better, I should have shown Baryatinsky his favor in advance. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, and he is the absolute confidant of Alexander II, his future status will be leveraged, and he should be embraced as early as possible!

Chernyshev regretted it endlessly, and kept complaining that he was too stupid. It had been seen before that Count Uvarov was about to lose power, so why did he hang himself on this old tree?

When he returned home, he was still restless. The main reason was that Alexander II's actions today were without warning at all. He suddenly killed someone. It was completely different from Nicholas I's previous dealing style. God knows whether he would continue to pursue the general. They caught them all in one fell swoop.

If the worst happens, how can he protect himself? By Count Uvarov?

Anyway, after seeing Count Uvarov's performance today, he had no confidence in it at all. After much thought, he decided to write a letter to Baryatinsky. At this time, he had to think more about himself.

After finishing the letter, Chernyshev felt that it was still not enough. After all, Baryatinsky was not a fool. He had ignored him before and suddenly showed his kindness. Even fools knew there was something wrong. Why should he accept you, Count Uvarov? running dog?

In order to ensure nothing went wrong, Chernyshov made a special trip to the Ministry of War that afternoon and specially allocated a large amount of supplies to Baryatinsky's army in the name of the Minister of War.

In the past few months, Baryatinsky had repeatedly requested supplies and reinforcements, but the Caucasus theater was not Russia's focus after all. In order to maintain the situation in Wallachia and Crimea, all these requests were ignored. Ruthlessly refused.

And now Chernyshev decided to open the back door a little to give Baryatinsky some face. If the other party is sensible and understanding, he will continue to open the back door to help Baryatinsky gain a lot of military exploits in the Caucasus!

If Count Uvarov knew that Chernyshev was planning to abandon ship and find another way out, he would probably be upset.

After all, in his own opinion, there is nothing wrong with today's handling of the situation. He has explained the reasons very clearly. In his opinion, anyone with a little political acumen will know that he is right.

It's just that this truth is probably only recognized by him. After all, everything today happened because of him. Without his activities and requests, there would be no way so many people would respond.

But at the end of the day, when others were arrested, you escaped, and you escaped silently without saying a word. This can't be explained in any case, right?

Anyway, his performance as the leader of a faction is definitely unqualified, but he still thinks that he is smart and thinks that his actions are the most correct way to deal with them. This makes it even more difficult to accept. In the eyes of outsiders, you are the one who caused the trouble. When something goes wrong, you're the first to run away and you still make sarcastic remarks. That's nothing!

"Brother Shen!"

"Um!"

When Shen Changqing walks on the road, whenever he meets someone he knows, he will say hello or nod to each other.

But no matter who it is.

There was no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they were indifferent to everything.

To this.

Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters, but of course there are also some other side jobs.

It can be said.

Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.

The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.

Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.

Then he will be promoted step by step, and he is expected to eventually become a guardian envoy.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Department, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.

Possessing the memory of a previous life.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.

Unlike other places in the Demon Suppressing Division that were full of chills, the attic here seemed to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppressing Division.

At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.

Enter the attic.

The environment changes in vain.

The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, making him frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.

There is almost no way to cleanse away the smell of blood on everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Division.
