Struggle in Russia

Things that are meaningless to Anton are not necessarily true to Li Xiao. At least Li Xiao knows that the officialdom in Russia is darker than he imagined. There is nothing impossible in it, as long as the means are suitable and the interests are enough to reverse black and white. It's just pediatrics.

It's just that it's not suitable to say it clearly, and Li Xiao believes that Anton will gradually understand it by himself after a while.

He said calmly: "Although the difficulty is not small, it is not completely impossible. I am more concerned about whether that woman is reliable enough!"

reliable?

Well, the only thing that's reliable about a woman bent on climbing the ladder is that she's not reliable at all. But Anton knew that Li Xiao wasn't asking if Petrovna was reliable, but what he wanted to know was whether Petrovna could gain the trust of Grand Duke Konstantin and Viscount Prozolov.

Because Li Xiao wants her to be a whistleblower at critical moments, so she must be able to gain the trust of Grand Duke Constantine and Viscount Prozolov, and must be able to enter their inner circle, otherwise she will not get key information at all , it would be pointless to spend so much effort to save her.

Anton thought for a while and replied: "From the previous situation, she is very close to Viscount Prozolov, and the Viscount seems to rely on her more, otherwise he would not take the risk of hiding her, and even helped her clean up. Small gesture."

"It's just that we suddenly arrested her and interrupted Viscount Prozolov's small movements, but according to my observation, the viscount has been inquiring about her information during this time, and he should still attach great importance to her. "

Li Xiao nodded slowly, and fell into silence again, but this time Anton was not anxious, he knew that Li Xiao was considering gains and losses and related risks, and he would naturally give him the answer after thinking clearly.

It's just that Anton didn't wait for Li Xiao's answer, but a new question: "Do you think she can be used?"

Anton frowned immediately. If Li Xiao made a decision directly, then he would help analyze the pros and cons and clarify the strength. If the other party continued to insist, he could only implement it. But Li Xiao didn't say the result, but asked his opinion, which is very important.

In a sense, this means that his status has risen, from the original executor to a role who can discuss issues with Li Xiao on an equal footing, and even make Li Xiao pay attention to opinions. This must be a good thing, it shows that Li Xiao values ​​him more and more.

It's just that this also means that he needs to bear more things, such as pressure. In the past, he only needed to think of a way to execute the orders, but now he has become a decision-maker, which means that he needs to pay for the results of the decision-making.

After pondering for a while, Anton replied: "She is a very smart woman,

And she has an extraordinary ability to act, especially at critical moments, she has an unusually decisive determination, which is stronger than many men! "

Li Xiao nodded and signaled Anton to continue, "However, her sense of right and wrong is very vague, and she can even be said to be a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve her goal. For her, as long as she can climb the ladder, she can make a deal with anyone." , even if it means mortgaging your soul to the devil!"

With Anton's narration, Li Xiao gradually had a deeper impression on Petrovna. This woman is full of charm and has outstanding abilities, but her ambition is difficult to grasp. She has no loyalty at all. Who can give her enough benefits? Just work for whoever you want, you can say that you can do your best.

Such a person is definitely not a good person, and dealing with such a person is also very dangerous. She is a double-edged sword, maybe the enemy will die first without hurting herself.

It's just that Li Xiao thinks that looking at Petrovna from another angle, she is actually a very pure person. Her unpredictable and uncompromising methods actually have a clear purpose, she just wants to climb up, and she will serve whoever can help her climb up.

Isn't this another kind of simplicity? You feel that you don't need to worry about her loyalty, because she has no loyalty at all, and naturally you don't need to worry too much about it, because it's useless to worry about. If you can provide her with ample avenues to climb the ladder, she will naturally serve you wholeheartedly. On the contrary, no matter how powerful and powerful you are, she probably won't ignore you, and even sell you in minutes.

Can Li Xiao provide Petrovna with a channel to climb up? It should be said that there is but there is no. After all, his current status is not high enough to give Petrovna too much, but there are too many forces behind Li Xiao who can communicate and influence, whether it is the Gorchakov family or Count Rostovtsev. While he can more or less talk and exert influence, it is very simple to help her indirectly.

More importantly, he is the only one in Kiev who can and is willing to exonerate Petrovna. This was too precious to Petrovna. If she couldn't pass this test, she would have no future, and those who believed in her intelligence to pass the test must know what price to pay.

Li Xiao thought for a while and said to Anton: "I want to have a face-to-face chat with this woman!"

Anton was taken aback immediately, because Li Xiao's identity was too sensitive, it was really not suitable for him to meet Petrovna. After all, this woman's identity was too troublesome, and her loyalty was not guaranteed at all. Once she realized Li Xiao's Identity and the relationship with Count Rostovtsev, that is simply death!

Anton immediately wanted to stop it, but Li Xiao said first: "I will contact her more secretly, and I will not let her know my real identity!"

Anton was a little relieved, but he still thought it was too risky, and he couldn't make a decision on this matter. After all, Count Rostovtsev was the imperial envoy. Anyone who wanted to contact Petrovna Such suspects must obtain his permission.

And as far as what Li Xiao wanted to do, he had to discuss it with Count Rostovtsev first. If the count disagreed, it couldn't be done.

Li Xiao replied calmly: "I know, I just asked you to send a message to the Earl for me, and tell him what I mean. If he disagrees, I will naturally not act recklessly!"

Anton could only chuckle inwardly about this, because he knew this old boss too well, so he said bluntly that this man is bold, as long as it is something he is sure of, he must do it, look at what he has done Which one of those things will not scare people when they are told!

Anton subconsciously wanted to refuse, but as soon as he saw Li Xiao's eyes, he knew it was useless. Even if he refused, couldn't the other party go and talk to Count Rostovtsev in person?

He could only sigh and said, "Okay, I will tell the count immediately!"
