Lazarev said to Ermolov earnestly: "My old friend, even so, you wouldn't treat the Grand Duke like this and take your anger out on him, would you?"

Ermolov curled his lips and said, "Where did I vent my anger? Don't you understand? I'm on His Majesty's blacklist. If the Grand Duke has a close relationship with me, it's not a good thing for him!"

Lazarev was silent for a moment, because what Ermolov said was right. For the narrow-minded Nicholas I, anyone he didn't like could turn over, such as Ermolov and Vorontsov Duke.

How are these two abilities? That is nothing to say, especially the latter is capable of writing and martial arts, which is better than Paskovich and Menshikov in one dimension, okay? But why didn't they get reused by Nicholas I?

It's very simple, it's not compatible with Nicholas I. Neither Vorontsov nor Ermolov liked Nicholas I's set of things that imprisoned people's hearts. To Nicholas I, these two were thorns and unstable factors, so no matter how powerful they were, they didn't need them. , must be severely suppressed

So all these years, as long as the officers or friends who have a good relationship with Vorontsov and Ermolov have no future, they are all on Nicholas I's blacklist. This guy has no chance to stand up without kicking his legs .

Naturally, Yermolov, who cherishes talents, is unwilling to be too close to Li Xiao even if he admires Li Xiao very much, otherwise Nicholas I will know that he can have good fruit from Li Xiao?

This can be regarded as the love of the older generation for the younger generation!

After hearing Ermolov's reasons, Lazarev could only let out a long sigh. He didn't know whether he was lamenting the speechless tsar of Russia or the ending of Ermolov's dedication to the country but the moon shining in the ditch.

However, if Li Xiao knew all this, he would probably shrug his shoulders and curl his lips. Although he was grateful for Ermolov's love, he just wanted to say: "You underestimated that old bastard too much!"

Indeed, Nicholas I was not very good at governing the country, but he was very good at playing with the emperor's mind and power. Even if Ermolov deliberately pretended not to like Li Xiao, he might not be able to hide from his dog eyes.

What's more, Li Xiao knows about his own family affairs. He has long been on Nicholas I's blacklist, and his ranking is definitely higher than Vorontsov and Ermolov, so even if he has close contacts with Ermolov That's because there are too many lice and you are not afraid of biting.

Of course, Li Xiao didn't know all this. Of course, even if the meeting was not so happy, Li Xiao didn't take it very seriously. For him, he felt that Ermolov's rudeness was probably the old general's eccentricity. In normal life, he is so bold and unrestrained, not to mention that he can be his father at his age, so it doesn't matter if he is teased!

Besides, Li Xiao is busy! How can there be time for that small stomach, after saying goodbye to Lazarev and Ermolov, he still has to rush to meet with Alexei, Leonid and other good friends, and there are still a lot of things waiting for him to solve Woolen cloth!

Especially Alexei, this guy is related to his future layout and income in Wallachia, so he has to explain some things carefully.

"Guys, you miss me!"

As soon as Li Xiao came up, he hugged a few friends. He was not lying, he really had feelings for these friends, and he really missed them.

"Guys, cheers to our reunion in a foreign country!"

For true friends, after finally meeting each other, there is no such thing as long-suffering, especially for the old man, it is all in the wine, no matter how long we are apart, a glass of dirty wine will be enough Happy to meet you too!

The banquet lasted for a whole night, and it was not over until everyone lay down under the table. If they hadn't been lying under the same table before, they weren't considered close friends!

It wasn't until the afternoon of the third day that Li Xiao woke up completely. Although the hiccup still smelled like alcohol and his head hurt like a burst, he was indeed extremely happy mentally.

In an instant, all the pressure was emptied, and the whole person seemed to be a few pounds lighter.

Holding a cup of strong tea, Li Xiao pinched his forehead with one hand, and asked weakly, "Can't you two let me rest for two days, at least let me sober up before talking about business?"

This is about Leonid and Alexei. At this moment, they are the most impatient. One grabs Li Xiao and asks if there are any new tactics to attack the fortifications, and the other asks him what the future governor of Wallachia should do. when.

In this regard, Li Xiao could only sigh and said, "How can there be so many new tactics? I just have a lot of ghost ideas, but there are no technical conditions to realize them in China. What can I do?"

This is to be honest, no matter what kind of new tactics, they are all limited by technical means. In this era, there is neither decent communication technology nor powerful enough explosives, not even machine guns. What kind of new tactics are you playing? Tools, skilled use is really enough.

After dismissing Leonid with a few words, when facing Alexei, Li Xiao was not impatient at all, and he asked a little playfully, "Why, are you sure you are the next Governor of Wallachia?" ?”

Alexei was a little embarrassed by Li Xiao, and replied shyly: "Although I dare not say 100%, but it's pretty close!"

Li Xiao asked again cautiously: "Where is the source of the news? Did you guess it yourself, or did someone tell you?"

Alexei replied in a low voice: "Friends in the third department wrote to me and told me that St. Petersburg has already discussed relevant issues. The governor... besides, Prince Mikhail also mentioned to me in a circumstantial way, saying something about cooperating with each other..."

Li Xiao put his arms around his shoulders and said with a chuckle: "That's right, I guess after a while, all the flies that are eyeing this fat piece of Wallachia will come to hint at you!"

Alexei suddenly gave a wry smile: "Andreka, you know my character, I kind of hate those sleazy business, and I really want to do something in Wallachia, not a A governor who can only scratch the ground..."

Li Xiao smiled, because he could hear his growth from Alexey's words. This guy is no longer a second-generation guy who only relies on his father's shadow to eat and wait to die, but a man with ideas to start a career. man.

This kind of growth made him very happy, but at the same time, he also saw Alexei's childish side. He still knew too little about the political arena, and he didn't know how dirty this muddy water was!
