Chapter 53: consciousness
"Lonia, Lonia!"
Aleksey Speransky broke into Leonid's house, panting, skillfully poured himself a glass of sherry and swallowed like a pure drunkard.
So he didn't notice Leonid's expression on the sofa was dull and his eyes were stark.
Aleksey chattered endlessly: "I am an eye-opener today. There are really people in this world who are not afraid of death!"
说 As he spoke, he walked towards Leonid. The rapid gasp and slightly agitated tone showed that he was probably running all the way to report to his good friends. From another perspective, it can be said how shocking he is today.
"Just stopped, the ten infantry fired together, deafening, Mars and smoke scattered, I felt the death coming!"
"But the Archduke Andrei Konstantinovich looks like an iron man. He stood there so straightly, without blinking, I swear, he never blinked!"
"No begging for mercy, no soft legs, nothing, even the shooting order was issued by him personally ... my god, he is a tough guy!"
"I've never seen such a brave person. Even you, my friend, you are brave enough in my opinion, but look a bit inferior to him. Alas, even if I don't like him very much , Must also admit that he is a true warrior, worthy of admiration! "
Leonid was a sick man at first, but he had no energy, but as Alexie grew more and more excited, he became interested.
He forced up and asked, "What the **** is going on? Your Majesty didn't really order that grandfather to be shot, right?"
Alexie shrugged and explained with a smirk: "Of course not, but it's almost the same ... The Duke of Ordoff arranged a fake gun to scare the Grand Duke. I hope that Grand Duke softly begs for confession according to his request. I wrote a book of remorse. But it was completely useless. In the end, Old Ordorf couldn't leave the stage, and he had to be returned to his cell. "
Leonid snorted, disdainful of such a trick. He knew why Oldorf was doing such a trick, and it wasn't Nicholas I and the Crown Prince Alexander who tried every means to try to save his face and hide everything.
It's just that they underestimated someone's tenacity, and in the end they seemed to be laughingstock. This is basically the end of the chase, unlike the behavior that the monarch and the Chu monarch should have.
And this also made Leonid more and more disappointed with the emperor and the prince, thinking that the person he served before was simply a joke, so working hard is nothing more than a nuisance. It made him feel more empty and motivated, and felt that he had lost the pursuit of life.
Leonid directly picked up the bottle and started filling it at the mouth of the bottle. Startled by Alexei, he quickly seized the bottle and asked in amazement: "My friend, you What's wrong!"
Leonid sighed heavily: "I'm so disappointed! I have seen His Royal Highness today and reported to him the foreign newspapers and related information you got ..."
"and then?"
然后 "Then he began to yell," Leonid sighed again, "said I was facing his enemy ... my God, I wonder if His Royal Highness can't figure out what the enemy is?"
"Reveal the facts. Those who fight against the imperfections and dregs of the empire turned out to be enemies? Are those despicable men who whitewashed everything and even acted as umbrellas are his friends? What a shit!"
Alexei was speechless, he understood Leonid's depression, and sometimes he wondered whether his actions were good for this country, or to maintain the rotten old stubbornness that gradually declined to keep up with the times and refused to change Interests.
现行 The current system in this country is not like trying to make the country better, but merely fooling things through. Everyone is saying something pretending, pretending that everything is fine, pretending that the country is rich and strong, pretending not to see those dark and disgusting things.
In such an environment, people who are sober are very painful. It is too bad to feel that they can only watch everything that they love and value slowly decay.
所以 "So you're drunk?"
Leonid smiled bitterly: "What else can we do? The masters of this country and the future masters don't care, what else can they do?"
Alexei thought for a while and answered very seriously: "The situation really looks frustrating. But my friend, this is not the reason for your arrogance. Do you remember the edict that the Archduke gave to the soldiers? Do you still Remember what he said? "
"Committing too much to others and complaining to others is a pathetic weak person! A strong and solid person who does not make excuses, but only rises to difficulties, the harder and harder the better his noble character is. ! "
Leonid and Alexei involuntarily repeated someone's words. It was a feeling at the time, and now it is another feeling in retrospect!
Aleksey taught politely: "You are like a sad and weak man now!"
Leonid felt a fever on his face. He really looked like a weak man, like a poor worm. I thought he was still laughing at those soldiers like dregs. Now, compared to them, he is only fifty steps and a hundred steps. What qualifications are there to ridicule!
"You are right. Although the situation is terrible, this is by no means a justification for your cowardly behavior ... I know what to do!"
谢 Alec Xie was relieved ~ www.readwn.com ~ He was really worried that his good friend was so slumped. Fortunately, he was lucky to have an archetype as a role model!
"What are you going to do?" Alexei again began to worry that Leonid would continue to speak up. It was not a good choice to tell the truth, he asked carefully: "Continue to persuade His Highness?"
Leonid replied with certainty: "No! That's totally useless. His Royal Highness can't listen. I think I should do something practical instead of continuing to circle around the royal family. I should go to the ground floor Is both training and growing experience! "
"Uh? This ..."
谢 Alexei just wanted to say that the idea was not good, but he quickly thought that it would be good to have Leonid change his environment. Because of his contradiction with the Crown Prince Alexander, the gunpowder barrel that remained in the Crown Prince's hands was uncertain and was about to be exploded. Might as well leave for a while and move on, maybe the Crown Prince realized his importance after he left?
"This is a good idea, so where do you want to grow your experience?"
After Leonid thought about it very seriously, he asked, "You just said that the Grand Duke was put back in the cell, so how did he end his affairs?"
Alexei sneered: "How else can he end, His Majesty can only punish those scums of the 748 regiment, and then reluctantly praise the Grand Duke in order to show his justice and broad-mindedness to the European countries, maybe return Will hold a nose and give a medal to that granddaughter! "
Leonid asked: "That said, that Grand Duke should be fine, should he be reinstated?"
Alexei nodded.
Leonid smiled suddenly: "That's great. The 748 regiment must deal with a bunch of scums, so I will ask myself to serve in the 748 regiment!"
