Struggle in Russia

After leaving Menshikov's office, Mark was quite depressed and frustrated. He came here full of hope, thinking that the old lord would give him a hand, but he didn't promise anything, not even a perfunctory answer.

Mark knew that he had been abandoned by Menshikov, even though he had done so much for the old eunuch before, once he had no value, he would be thrown away like garbage.

This made him very sad and indignant. You must know that in the previous court trial, he took all the responsibilities and didn't say anything that was not good for Menshikov. This is at least loyal. ? starter

But what did this loyalty gain him? There is no fart, and even my dear brother can't be rescued! At this moment, he hated Menshikov to the core and felt that he had been fooled by the old eunuch. After all, the old eunuch did not promise so before the trial. At that time, the old eunuch told him that as long as he kept his mouth shut, the future Everything is on him!

But now? What's in this eggless old thing? Now that he is ruined and his family has run out of wealth, he has nothing to ask for!

"Fuck you!"

When walking out of the Admiralty Building, Mark spat viciously into the building, and one can imagine how angry he was.

It's just that this anger was useless, and Mark immediately withered, because the old eunuch was still the minister of the navy and the prince of the empire, and he was just a criminal minister. Let alone using one finger, just one word can kill him!

Mark knows how ruthless Menshikov is. If he is really ignorant, there are ten thousand ways to make his life worse than death. When he thinks of this, he loses the courage to retaliate and can only look bitter. go back.

However, he boarded the carriage and walked a block before he was stopped. A young officer in the uniform of a major stopped his carriage very rudely and ordered him to pull over.

This made Mark even more sad and indignant. He was really bullied by dogs. Let alone a small major, even if a major general stopped the car back then, it all depends on whether he is willing to receive him or not. Words can make the other party go.

But today, people or ghosts dare to ride on his head to shit and piss, but Mark still dare not resist, because he is nothing now, and it is obvious that Menshikov will not continue to cover him. He can't afford to offend anyone who walks around St. Petersburg like a weed.

What's more, Mark himself knew that he had offended many people when he was proud of himself, and it was perfectly normal for them to humiliate him now.

[If you can't resist, you can only accept it! 】

After lamenting in his heart, Mark didn't dare to have the slightest thought of resistance, and he got out of the carriage obediently and walked towards the major. He only prayed that he would not go too far, and that he would not really play him to death.

With a hint of respect and flattery, Mark asked with a shy smile, "Major, what's the matter?"

Of course, this is actually a disguise, he just wants to lower his posture a little, so that people feel that he is already very pitiful, and he will be lighter when he is dealt with later. At the same time, he was also looking at the other party, trying to find out what the other party was from, which was a bit of a bottom line.

[The navy uniform is too young. It looks like he is only in his early twenties. He should be a nobleman. 】

This is just a matter of experience, if it weren't for his background, it would be impossible to be promoted to a major at the age of twenty. How many common people's children can hardly be promoted to major throughout their lives, this position is not something that can be promoted by ability.

A young man in his early twenties became a major in the Russian army,

Especially in the navy, it can only be said that this guy has a scary background, at least he is also a descendant of a powerful aristocrat who is close to the royal family.

This made Mark more honest, not to mention the current him, even the former he would not dare to provoke such a second generation. His father and brother might be cabinet ministers or the emperor's personal servant, ten of him would not Can't afford to mess with it, okay?ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

The major was also full of style. He glanced up and down at Mark contemptuously. He seemed to have a bad impression of him. He curled his lips and said, "Our general wants to see you, come with me!"

【really! 】

Mark sighed again in his heart, even the minions who came out had this kind of background, so how powerful is the master behind it!

He could only hope that he hadn't offended the general too hard before, otherwise this trip would probably be a close call.

The young major led the way and boarded another ordinary-looking carriage, and then the two sat in the carriage without saying a word, letting the driver lead them forward.

This kind of silent silence made Mark even more uneasy. After holding back for a long time, he mustered up the courage to approach him: "Major, what is your name and where do you work?"

The young man still just glanced at him, his eyes filled with contempt and disdain, he didn't want to talk to Mark at all, and just ignored his question.

Mark was a little embarrassed, and his heart was even more sad and angry, but he knew that he had no other choice at this time - he had to bow his head under the eaves!

So he continued to ask with a shy face: "Major, which distinguished general wants to see me? Is it a bit abrupt to visit so rashly, or else, tell me the address, and I will formally visit after I am ready?"

"How can there be so much nonsense!" The young man snorted and taught impatiently: "Don't ask questions, you will know when you arrive!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his face away and closed his eyes, with an expression that he didn't want to talk nonsense with Mark.

This made Mark more and more anxious. He didn't know who was staring at him, so he could only look out the window frequently to see where the carriage took him.

Fortunately, the window was not covered, and the other party seemed not afraid that he would know where the destination was. This shows that the other party is very confident, almost saying clearly: "Be honest, listen to the arrangement obediently!"

Mark was indeed very honest, obediently obeying his orders along the way, and soon left the city, driving all the way south into a manor.

The carriage stopped steadily at the gate of the manor, and immediately a waiter respectfully opened the door to invite Mark to get out of the car. This somewhat reassured him, at least the other party was polite and did not directly drag him out of the car and throw him away Go into the black kiln and beat him up.

"Don't be dazed, come with me!"

The young major gave an order impatiently, and then took the lead and walked in front. However, he did not enter the manor, but went around the back of the manor. At the edge of the forest, he heard crisp gunshots from a distance... …
