Chapter 739: Difficult Days (Part 2)

Old Adlerberg is worthy of being an old cunt with many years of cunning experience, and he is very precise in this aspect. Seeing what he said, he must have done this often!

It's just that little Adlerberg didn't fully listen to it. Even though he promised to remember it respectfully on the face, he quickly lost his old father's explanation.

This is the biggest difference between their father and son. Old Adlerberg, who has climbed up step by step, understands the cruelty of the political arena better, so he has long since abandoned his shame, and it doesn't matter what he is asked to do as long as he can be in power.

And little Adlerberg said earlier that he was born with a golden key in his mouth, so he has not experienced the hardships of the old man's hard work, and he really hasn't practiced well on how to be shameless and thick.

Naturally, as long as little Adlerberg is not cornered, he can't really be as shameless as old Adlerberg. But now, to be honest, he didn't have much sense of crisis. Even if the old Adlerberg told him that the situation was different, he didn't fully take it to heart.

So on this trip to Bucharest, he walked in a smooth manner, completely ignoring the old man's instructions to let him feel as soon as possible. This journey is not only a tour, but at least it is to put the airs of the imperial envoy high.

So little Adlerberg walked for a full month and a half before arriving in Bucharest, and at this time Li Xiao had been waiting for him there for almost a month. To be honest, Li Xiao was a little impatient to wait.

"Our special envoy is really arrogant!"

Li Xiao jokingly said to Alexei, because little Adlerberg arrived in Ploiesti two days ago, but this guy just walked 50 kilometers for two days, this damn is also a talent ah!

Although they are both second generations, Alexei and Adlerberg Jr. are not in the same circle. Relatively speaking, Adlerberger's circle is more conservative aristocrats, and he associates more with children of traditional veteran aristocrats, as well as crown princes and grand dukes.

And Alexey is more in the circle of the innovative aristocrats. Because of well-known reasons, this line of aristocrats is not particularly popular and valued, so it is normal for young Adlerberg to feel that he is superior.

"Prince Mikhail is not here?"

Unlike Li Xiao, Alexei has no opinion on whether Adlerberger is putting on airs if he is late or early. It's good to order, so that he can save time to do business.

Originally, Alexei planned to meet Prince Mikhail on the occasion of welcoming the young Adlerberg.

Because Wallachia's state affairs are intricate, many things require the cooperation of Duke Mikhail and the garrison. And Duke Mikhail stayed at the side of Hungary most of the time, and rarely returned to Bucharest. Finally, he had a chance. He wanted to have a good chat with Duke Mikhail face to face to solve some difficult matters.

But it was clear that Alexei's calculations failed. Duke Mikhail did not come to meet the special envoy in person at all, but only sent a representative. Obviously, for Prince Mikhail, the special envoy Adlerberg Jr. did not carry much weight.

Soon a line of mighty horse-drawn carriages appeared at the end of the horizon, each of which was decorated with the Russian flag and a double-headed eagle emblem, and a handsome white horse-drawn carriage. Anyway, anyone who is not blind will know that there is a Russian big shot.

Even Alexei sighed: "The show is really not small!"

Yes, even he, the Russian governor in Wallachia, did not go out so loudly. On the contrary, if it is not necessary, Alexei should drive as little as possible, and it is best not to keep so many Russian elements. The reason is very simple ——Russia is not popular in Wallachia, at least among the people of Wallachia, they don't like Russia at all.

If Alexei, the governor, was so loud and ostentatious every time, then people three miles away would know that he was coming. Didn't this mean that the assassins were notified in advance to prepare for the assassination!

And it’s not just a question of preventing assassination, but more importantly, as an occupier, you always go out with your teeth and claws, which will give people a very bad feeling, as if reminding the Wallachians all the time what Russia has done Same.

Alexei was here to establish a new order, not to cause trouble. What good was this pointless showing off?

But little Adlerberg just wanted to show off. As the saying goes, not returning home is like walking in brocade clothes. He has never been a low-key person. In St. Petersburg, the old Adlerberg stared at him, and he had to guard against a bunch of old bastards He had no choice but to put on a humble and low-key look.

Now that he has come to Bucharest, which is thousands of miles away, and none of the mountains pressing on him are there, what else does he have to be afraid of?

This time, little Adlerberg is an imperial envoy again, a special envoy of Emperor Nicholas I. Naturally, he wants to put on a show with great fanfare, just to let those guys who saw his failure to compete for the governor of Wallachia and laughed at him know— —That's how poor he is, little Adlerberg!

So the closer he was to Bucharest, the more Adlerberg slowed down on purpose. He just wanted to let Alexei and others wait for him, and let them know that Adlerberg was not a loser!

"count!"

So when he greeted Alexei, little Adlerberg was full of coercion and superiority, feeling that Alexei was not the governor, but his subordinate.

This kind of arrogance made everyone who greeted little Adlerberg feel a little uncomfortable, thinking that this guy was too ostentatious.

However, Alexei didn't bother with him. For the current Alexei, he doesn't care about such a big face. On the other side, there is no time to play such a childish game of qi with the other party.

Alexei greeted him relaxedly and calmly: "Hello, special envoy, you have worked hard all the way!"

Little Adlerberg really didn't expect Alexei to be so calm, because he was deliberately showing off, telling the world in front of everyone that little Adlerberg would not bow to someone!

But Alexei didn't respond to his provocation at all, which made him feel like his punch was empty. He could only cough dryly, and asked, "Where is Prince Mikhail? I should say hello to His Excellency the Duke first!"

These words were actually deliberate. Little Adlerberg was deliberately elevating the status of Duke Mikhail, putting himself in a similar position with the Duke, so as to achieve the purpose of belittling Alexei. This small heart is sincere. It is very insidious!
