Struggle in Russia

Alexander Nevsky Monastery.

Unlike ordinary prisoners, Li Xiao doesn't have to live in those detested and cramped cells where he can never see the light of day. The place where he was imprisoned was not so much a cell as a villa. The windows were bright and clean, and he could see the red sun and the blue sky, and he could smell the fresh air that was different from St. Petersburg’s turbidity. , Bordeaux or Spanish red wine is optional, and domestic vodka or British whiskey is available in sufficient quantities if it does not suit your taste. The dessert after the meal is even cooked by the chef-level pastry masters.

Boris was very satisfied with the food in the monastery, and Li Xiao also felt that the environment here was quite superior, ten thousand times better than the humble grand duke's mansion before him. Of course, if he had to choose, he would still rather live in the humble grand duke's mansion than to live in the monastery. This damn luxury prison.

This monastery was the place where Nicholas I used to imprison those enemies who were powerful and prominent and could not easily kill them.

"Andreka, what do you think is going on outside?"

Boris yawned lazily. Although this kind of life of raising pigs after eating and sleeping was enjoyable, he was still very concerned about his future, especially this time the movement was really unusual, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous .

Li Xiao put down the dictionary in his hand, and replied in Russian: "I don't know. According to the time, we should be able to go out soon."

"Are you sure?" Borist suddenly regained his energy. "Although the food here is good, I would rather go back to Sertorov to eat chaff. If I had known it would be such a horrible treatment, I shouldn't have beaten that idiot! "

Li Xiao smiled. According to his original plan, Boris would not be in the dormitory with him. He should be the only one who came in. But this cute big man is too good for a friend. He foolishly bullied Kutepov. Then he got into a fight with the deputy head, and finally gave him a pair of panda eyes. The following offenders are taboo in the army of any country. If you don't arrest him, who will you arrest?

Boris muttered: "But I don't think there is any sign of improvement. They have started to interrogate us again, and they are becoming more and more impolite. Those eyes want to eat me alive."

"Are you scared?" Li Xiao asked with a smile.

Boris thumped his chest and said stubbornly: "I will be afraid? I haven't seen any scenes before, I'm afraid they are not vicious enough!"

Li Xiao continued to recite words without raising his head: "That's good! Keep it up!"

Boris suddenly grimaced: "But am I not sure? Andreka, I memorized the confession as you said, so it won't be exposed, right? You still give me the truth. What kind of life-saving trick?"

As long as Boris thought about what happened that day, he would feel guilty. The whole incident was almost brought about by them alone. If the Minister of Palace Affairs found out about the third part, it would be a perfect rhythm to sit in prison!

Anyway, Boris was terrified. How could he be stunned by lard at that time:

Five large carts dragged several tons of flour and walked on the muddy road. The guards were all soldiers from the Second Battalion and Second Company of the 748th Regiment. These small, yellow and thin men were sitting by the shaft of the carts, looking at the piles of flour with joy. The car bucket, thinking that I finally don't have to starve, everyone is happy.

The elated soldiers didn't notice that in the depths of the dense forest ahead, a pair of greedy eyes were glowing green. With so much food, it would be a lot of money to grab it and sell it. Even a leader like Ivan Shishkin who had seen it before couldn't help feeling excited.

"Load, aim and hit, don't hurt the horse, these are all money! And I don't want to tow the cart by myself!" Shishkin ordered, licking his lips with golden eyes.

bang bang bang!

A series of dense gunshots sounded, and the smoke of black powder filled the air like a smog, and then the "bandits" with bayonets swarmed out of the forest and rushed towards the cart.

The soldiers of the Second Company were stunned.

For them, such a scene is really frightening, masked bandits with swords and guns and green eyes glowing murderously. The scene only in the legends of troubadours caused their brains to short-circuit for a short time, and then the surprised cries of their companions caused their bodies to react in the most basic and true way—flee for their lives!

In fact, these soldiers can't be blamed for this. After all, they have never received military training like real soldiers. In essence, they are some poor farmers and small citizens. It is normal for them to be afraid and run away.

Shishkin didn't take much effort to disperse the soldiers of the second company, and then happily escorted the looted food and disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.

Everything was so smooth and simple, and the joy of getting rich filled their hearts, making them a little carried away, so that they didn't notice that their whereabouts were actually under Li Xiao's control all along.

The joyous Shishkin took the looted food around a big circle before returning to the secret warehouse on the edge of the town of Sertorov in the dark. This is Gaczynski's "little vault", which stores smuggled tobacco and alcohol, stolen goods and other things that cannot be seen.

Gasinski ordered people to unload the grain into the warehouse in a familiar manner, and then told Shishkin: "You take a few people to dispose of the carriage, sell the horse and clean it up, clean your hands and feet quickly!"

Naturally, Shishkin nodded in a hurry. Selling the horse was also a source of income, and he could earn a fortune by plucking the wild goose. He liked doing this kind of good thing the most.

It's just that what Gasinski and Shishkin didn't expect at all was that they were stopped just as the carriage drove out of the yard of the small treasury. The leaders were none other than Li Xiao and Boris.

"Sergeant Shishkin, it's so late, where are you going?"

Shishkin was stunned and completely confused. He didn't understand how Li Xiao and Boris found this place. For a while, his mind was in a mess, and all kinds of messy thoughts came and went. Fortunately, he has a good psychological quality. After all, he has done a lot of wicked things and is too skilled.

Shishkin forced himself to calm down, and asked as if nothing had happened: "Your Excellency, it's so late, what are you planning to do with so many people? It's hard to explain if the gendarmerie saw it. It’s nonsense, if it spreads out, it might cause some troubles. Say so!”

Li Xiao laughed, this guy dared to threaten him in turn, he was really thick-skinned, bold and dark-hearted, but he was the one who dug the hole today, so a threat of this level is nothing, he said: "No trouble! The gendarmerie, right? They’re right behind, and they’ll be here in a while. Sergeant Shishkin will have to explain to them what these carriages are all about, and how they look so much like the ones my family lost!”
