Struggle in Russia

After Bibescu was overthrown, Barbu Shtilbey quickly moved out of Bucharest city and hid in a farm on the outskirts of the city, which made it take more time for Alexei to visit him, basically If you run back and forth a day, you can't do other things.

This gave Alexei a headache, and he complained: "Why do you still come to him? We have been running for three days in a row. This old fox is always doing Tai Chi. It's a waste of time!"

Of course, what Alexei really cares about is not wasting some time, but the roads in the suburbs of Bucharest are very difficult to walk, and the roads are muddy. Sitting in a carriage is like sitting in a washing machine. Tanna was at a disadvantage, which naturally made Alexei very distressed.

"It's okay," Fontana said with a light smile indifferently, it was a kind of enjoyment for her to be alone with Alexei, as for the road conditions, she didn't feel good at all, "And we didn't waste any time! "

Alexei's eyes widened, not understanding why Fontana said that, was it to comfort him? Anyway, he couldn't feel any progress in these three days.

Fontana continued to laugh and said, "Didn't you notice that Barbu Shtilbey's complexion is getting worse every day? I guess his expression will be very interesting when we visit the door again tomorrow morning!"

Alexey recalled what he saw and heard in the Barbu Shtilbey Manor. To be honest, he didn't feel how bad the old fox's face was. It was all formulaic hospitality and formulaic answers, anyway. He asked three questions, and asked him to come out to help with things, but he kept evading, and it was true that he was so angry.

Fontana laughed and explained: "That's because you are not very good at guessing people's hearts. That old fox is getting more and more anxious every day, and he can't wait to send us away immediately. If he can't hide, he doesn't want to receive us at all. us!"

Alexei laughed, because this was Fontana's little trick, and he had sent a few subordinates to keep an eye on Barbu Shtilbey's every move, no matter where he was hiding, they could find him. For example, today, the earl hid in the forest to "hunt", but the two of them "met unexpectedly" again, which is quite funny anyway.

But Alexei still didn't understand what was the use? Is Fontana trying to annoy the other party with harassment tactics?

"No, no matter how annoying the old fox is, he won't let go easily. It's useless."

"Then why do you keep visiting him with great fanfare?" asked Alexei.

Fontana explained with a smile: "I just want the entire high society in Bucharest to know that we are constantly visiting Barbu Štilbey."

Alexei was stunned, he couldn't figure out what was the use of this, because he was really not good at conspiracies and tricks.

"It's very simple!" Fontana replied with a smile, "If we only visited the old fox once, and he explained to outsiders that he was not with us, they would believe him. But if we visited every day, others would believe him." What do you think? Will you still believe his explanation?"

At this moment, Alexei suddenly realized that this is the reason why three people become tigers. When a phenomenon happens once, if you explain it, some people will listen to it and some people will believe it. But if it happens every day and you explain it every day, then not many people will believe it.

What Barbu Shtilbey is now facing is Fontana's conspiracy. Now that the entire aristocratic circle in Bucharest knows that he has close contacts with the Russians, it is obvious that you are falling for the Russians!

What? After listening to your explanation, you didn't promise anything?

joke! If you don't agree to anything, what are the Russians doing every day? They are full, I'm afraid you are planning something intensively with the Russians!

as you can imagine,

Barbu Shtilbey is now just yellow mud falling into his crotch, either flying or flying.

Now Alexei's mood immediately improved, and he couldn't help being happy when he thought of the old fox's suffering, and immediately burst out laughing: "You are too bad! I guess Barbu Shtilbe Yi is cursing us now!"

Fontana also laughed out loud, although it made her incompletely healed wound a little painful, but she really liked the feeling of laughing out loud, it was great.

"Probably it will!" Fontana covered her mouth and smiled, "But the current heat is not enough, not enough to make that old fox burnt out, we have to help him broadcast it!"

Alexei asked with great interest: "How to broadcast?"

Fontana stretched out two slender fingers: "Secretly, people spread rumors, saying that the old fox has reached an agreement with us. Once the matter is completed, he will be the next Grand Duke of Wallachia. On the surface, You can publicly praise the old fox in public, such as when you communicate with the Austrian consul general and his friends, and praise him as the most outstanding politician in Wallachia and a good friend of the Russians."

Alexei almost laughed from ear to ear. He is good at this kind of tone. It can be imagined that with the rumors and the fact that they are in close contact, no matter how much Barbu Shtilbey tries to explain, no one will believe it. At that time, he was confirmed as a tile traitor, and the Wallachia provisional government would definitely entertain him well. At that time, would he have any other choice besides being a tile traitor?

Fontana's methods really amazed Alexei. It turns out that there are so many ways in it, and it's amazing that people can fall into the pit if they don't pay attention.

Thinking of this, Alexei suddenly gained confidence, and asked eagerly: "Then Brother Propelita and Grigory Alexander Gika V will do the same? We will go to the Visit them!"

Who would have thought that Fontana shook her head again and again, and said, "No, you can't do that, and Brother Propelita is not suitable for public visits!"

Looking at Alexei, whose face was full of doubts and curiosity, Fontana explained: "Brother Propelita can only be visited secretly by you in person. Public visits are useless. You must visit them secretly. The more secretive and concealed the better! As for that Grigory Alexander Gika V, he can handle it in the same way as Barbu Shtilbey."

Alexei asked curiously: "Why? Is there any difference?"

Fontana explained carefully: "Yes, there is a big difference. Although the Propelita brothers and Barb Stirbey and Grigory Alexander Gika V are both on the fence Pai, but the status is different now, it is meaningless for you to openly visit those brothers..."
