Struggle in Russia

Count Rostovtsev replied matter-of-factly: "That's natural. Of course I want to say thank you for saving your life!"

Li Xiao was speechless. It was obvious that a veteran like Count Rostovtsev had a thick skin beyond imagination.

Of course, objectively speaking, he should say thank you. After all, not everyone can get this kind of information.

"Then thank you!" Li Xiao said sincerely: "I will be more careful!"

Who would have thought that Count Rostovtsev said with a serious face: "No, you have to be especially careful!"

Li Xiao was stunned and asked, "Is it so serious?"

"Yes, your Majesty is very determined to kill you this time! And..."

He deliberately said solemnly: "And your Majesty is not the only one who wants your life?"

Li Xiao was taken aback and blurted out: "Is there anyone else?"

Count Rostovtsev laughed loudly and said: "Don't even think about how many people you have offended recently! Let me tell you this, Grand Duke Constantine is also planning to attack you. The person who is in charge of this matter is Viscount Prozolov. !”

Li Xiao sighed. This was indeed a bit beyond imagination. Grand Duke Constantine couldn't help it? Finally took off the mask and revealed his ferocious fangs?

"Isn't this a normal thing? You don't think he is such a good person and don't know how to use any dirty tricks, do you?"

Li Xiao curled his lips and said: "Of course not, I just think his stiffness is a bit too intense?"

Count Rostovtsev burst out laughing: "Too fierce? I think his reaction was a bit too slow. He should have killed you decisively after the last verdict of the local court, but it took him so long to kill you." My heart, that kid really can’t hold himself up to the wall!”

Seeing Count Rostovtsev's expression of disdain and regret, Li Xiao was a little bit dumbfounded. Why did he think Grand Duke Constantine was too kind to him? It seems that the other party is weak if he doesn't pick up the knife and chop him off?

"Of course, if it were me, I would have made you evaporate long ago. How could I have kept you dancing for so long!" Count Rostovtsev replied matter-of-factly.

Li Xiao looked at him, and there was no hint of joking on his face. It was obvious that he was telling the truth.

"What else?" Count Rostovtsev rolled his eyes at him again: "Is it fun to joke with you? Boy, I remind you for the first and last time, never underestimate your opponent, always use the greatest malice Go figure out people’s hearts, because people’s hearts are more vicious than you think!”

As he spoke, he raised his head and sighed: "For example, people like Grand Duke Constantine, his behavior seems childish and ridiculous, but behind his childishness is deep malice. In the past, he was a little reserved and disdainful. He wants to eliminate you physically, but it will be different in the future. Even if he doesn't kill you this time, he will still look for opportunities to kill you in the future. It can even be said that he will kill you whenever he has the opportunity and will never stop. Are you ready for this?"

Li Xiao said nothing because he knew that he was indeed not ready. The danger he faced before was more of suppression, but in the future, not only will there be suppression, but his body will be destroyed. His enemies will use every possible means to deal with him.

This situation is ten times more dangerous than before!

This time when faced with Count Rostovtsev's reminder, he sincerely wanted to say thank you, because this was the experience of an expert who had experienced various political turmoils and survived in the treacherous officialdom.

This warning came too soon. If it had been any later, he might have to pay a heavy price to realize this.

Li Xiao's silence made Count Rostovtsev very happy, because young people are often impatient with the warnings of the older generation. The more capable young people are, the more so. Take this incident as an example. Many people listened to his warning and were wary for a while. After this gust of wind passed, they completely forgot about the risks. What happened before is still the same now.

This is often the time when someone is wronged and deceived. How many rising stars in politics collapse in just that moment. An inconspicuous attack can shatter them into pieces. The reason is not actually this attack, but his attitude towards risks.

Li Xiao's attitude was completely different from those of those people. Count Rostovtsev could feel that he had completely listened, which was very gratifying. For a person who is so smart, has a good view of the overall situation, and is good at listening to the advice of the older generation, is there any justice if he cannot succeed?

At least Count Rostovtsev feels that Li Xiao will definitely succeed. Even if his enemies are very numerous and powerful, as long as he persists in this style of work, he will definitely win!

Count Rostovtsev felt particularly strange when he thought of this. He felt a sense of relief that the child he was protecting had grown up, but he also felt a sense of loss that the child was not close to me.

However, he quickly controlled his emotions and asked slowly: "Do you have any thoughts about Grand Duke Constantine?"

Li Xiao smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "What can I think? He is the brother of the Tsar and the grand duke of the empire. Even if I am extremely dissatisfied, I can only swallow it in my stomach... I don't want to hit the little one." As a result, I fell into a big trap..."

Count Rostovtsev nodded, and he was relieved when Li Xiao said this. What he feared most was that Li Xiao would retaliate regardless, and Grand Duke Constantine would assassinate him, and he would respond with assassination. This is the last resort!

After all, Alexander II was still there watching, and the three strategies mentioned above were still waiting to deal with Li Xiao. He had been unable to grasp Li Xiao's handle before and could not use official means to deal with him. But once Li Xiao tries to assassinate Grand Duke Constantine, this will be a huge clue.

Once caught by Alexander II, it can almost be said that Li Xiao's ending will be very tragic.

Therefore, in the face of Grand Duke Constantine's provocation, we must not act rashly, and we must guard against impulsiveness and restlessness, otherwise we will give others a handle.

Of course, Count Rostovtsev also knew that it was useless to endure. As far as the character of Nicholas I's brats were concerned, the more they endured, the more arrogant they became. What's more, this time Grand Duke Constantine was hiding and Alexander II was hiding. The perfect cooperation between the two was almost able to eat Li Xiao to death.

If effective measures cannot be taken to hurt Grand Duke Constantine, then I am afraid that he will become more and more unscrupulous.

It was not Count Rostovtsev's style to be passively beaten all the time, and it was not something Li Xiao could endure.

"It's very good that you can realize the insidiousness of these two brothers. They have taken conspiracy to the extreme!" Count Rostovtsev asked with a smile: "But have you ever heard of something called conspiracy? s method?"
