The ball was still going on, but Duke Alexander and Li Xiao were not interested in it at all. They were like two people who stayed aloof and enjoyed the performance, watching these sensual dogs and horses commenting.

"You can always ask the most critical questions right!"

Duke Alexander praised Li Xiao, and then replied seriously: "It's very easy to get this friendship, prove your worth, prove that you can go through life and death for these friends, and then be accepted, and then you can get a guarantee!"

Li Xiao nodded and asked slowly: "Then how do I prove that I am worthy of this friendship?"

Duke Alexander laughed again: "You are really good at asking questions. I like people who can ask the right questions!"

After a while, he replied slowly: "You have initially proved that you are worthy of this friendship, and we are very satisfied with your performance. We generally think that there is no problem with your ability, but..."

Speaking of this, Duke Alexander turned his head and looked into Li Xiao's eyes and said, "But ability is never a big problem, the biggest problem is loyalty! Loyalty is more important than friendship! You need to prove that you are reliable!"

Li Xiao nodded slowly, and asked, "I don't think this is a matter of proof, but a matter of feeling. Is it?"

Duke Alexander showed an unexpected expression and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Li Xiao replied firmly: "Because loyalty can never be proven, loyalty can only be felt. I think I am loyal, and I paid a high price for this loyalty, but your friends think I am loyal." If this loyalty is not sincere enough, it is useless. On the contrary, if your friends perceive the so-called loyalty, then everything is not a problem, right?"

Duke Alexander laughed and said, "You are indeed the smartest young man I have ever met. And I like dealing with smart people the most."

After a short pause, Duke Alexander replied very seriously: "My friends still don't perceive your loyalty, or they feel that you are not that loyal. You can't serve our group wholeheartedly, but I think you do have potential, so I am willing to give you a chance. As long as you continue to provide us with high-quality services, I believe you will be accepted soon!"

"I understand!" Li Xiao smiled and said, "Then what do I need to do next?"

Duke Alexander did not go around in circles anymore, and replied bluntly: "We hope that Russia will become better,

I hope that every Russian can have a full stomach, can have new clothes to wear, and can live and work in peace and contentment. We sincerely hope that this country will become better! "

Li Xiao didn't interrupt, but patiently listened to Duke Alexander's words: "But you know, reality is so helpless sometimes, not all hopes can be turned into reality. And reality is so cruel!"

"Russia is not beautiful now. There are many problems. Many people don't have enough food and clothing, and even starve to death! All this is really not what we want to see, and we want to change it!"

Speaking of this, Duke Alexander suddenly stopped talking, and just looked straight into Li Xiao's eyes, as if he wanted to see through his soul.

At this time, Li Xiao said: "Yes, we don't want to see these tragedies. But the reality is so cruel, we can't sleep and eat because of these cruel realities, and then go bankrupt and ignore ourselves, even if we really did that , It’s also a drop in the bucket and nothing can be changed.”

Duke Alexander smiled, as he said just now, he likes to talk to smart people, because it will save a lot of trouble. Just like now, he told Li Xiao a simple truth, and Li Xiao did not disappoint him, this answer is very good!

"Of course, if there's a chance we can do something for this great country without interfering with our previous lives, it can be done, and there's nothing wrong with that, is it, Duke?"

And Li Xiao's last sentence made Duke Alexander more satisfied, because only the first one may meet some annoying old school who only care about themselves. Compared with such kind of stuff, Duke Alexander thinks he is still noble Quite a few, and what Li Xiao said later clearly stated his position, which is very good!

Duke Alexander immediately smiled and said: "This gives us a very good feeling, both persistence and flexibility. I think my friends will appreciate your attitude, Your Excellency the Grand Duke!"

Li Xiao didn't say much, just bowed slightly and nodded lightly, everything was left unsaid. Of course, only he himself knows how much of what he said just now is true, and how much is just a joke.

It's just that it doesn't matter, what matters is that Duke Alexander and the others like this answer. Because for the time being, for Li Xiao, the friendship between him and the duke and the duke's friends outweighed the differences, and they could cooperate completely. As for the future, the future is still far away, let's grasp the present first!

"You came all the way to Vienna suddenly, just to attend an unknown ball?"

Anton was very puzzled by Li Xiao's behavior, because this dance was not important to him at all, and there was no need to rush here and then leave in a hurry.

Li Xiao also knew that Anton didn't understand, but he couldn't explain it. He couldn't tell Anton that the reason for being in such a hurry was that some people didn't want him to stay in Wallachia at this time, and it was also a test for him. Whether he is honest and obedient.

It was Duke Mikhail who hoped that Li Xiao was not in Wallachia or Bucharest on New Year's Day 1849. Because Crown Prince Alexander officially went to the Grand Duchy of Wallachia to visit, er, or inspect according to the order of Nicholas I.

And everyone knows that Nicholas I didn't like Li Xiao, and the crown prince Alexander didn't like Li Xiao either. On a happy day, no one wants to see a person they don't like appear on a special occasion with special meaning. That would be embarrassing for some people.

Especially in the process of putting down the Wallachia rebellion, Li Xiao had made great achievements, so it stands to reason that he is one of the individuals that Crown Prince Alexander needs to commend. In order to avoid the embarrassment of the crown prince and Duke Mikhail, Li Xiao had to carry out a mission to leave Bucharest. Coincidentally, some friends of Duke Alexander and Duke Mikhail felt that Li Xiao was still useful and could be cultivated for a while, but before cultivating, they had to see if the kid was obedient, so they deliberately called him to Vienna...
