Gogorov and the others helped Urinen, who was "drunk", away from the main hall of the State Guesthouse. They looked around the surroundings and made sure there was no sign of the Great Dragon before stopping.
"Your Excellency, we have arrived in the east courtyard. The people from the Dalong Mission are now in the west courtyard. They should not be able to see us. In addition, the wind and snow are blowing, and such a large snow mu is blocking the view. Even if they
I saw a few of us around and probably couldn’t see our faces clearly.”
Upon hearing this, Urineen immediately straightened up between Gogolov and Gagat, turned around and looked at the hazy main hall in the distance, sighed and rubbed his temples.
"What a cunning little fox! It turns out that I thought he was an easy-to-deal with young man, but now it seems that we have underestimated the enemy too much.
Although the chief military officer of the Dragon Mission is only in his teens, his mind is like that of a fox."
"Your Majesty Duke, do you mean that General Liu of Dalong Kingdom is pretending to be drunk just like you?"
Wu Lining nodded helplessly: "The obvious thing is that although his forehead was covered with beads of sweat and he looked like he was not drinking well, his eyes didn't look like he was drunk at all.
It means that the other party has roughly the same idea as us! In this confrontation, it was a draw without a win or a loss."
Gogolov couldn't help but frowned: "What a cunning young man. It seems that the mission assigned to you by Her Majesty the Queen cannot be completed. What should we do next?"
"There is nothing we can do about it. The conversation between us already requires the translation of ten people like Jevs to communicate with each other.
Now that he is pretending to be drunk, it will be even more difficult for us to talk to him.
Now that the matter has come to this, I can only go to the palace to meet with His Majesty the Emperor and tell her the truth.
You guys don't want to go back, stay temporarily in the State Guesthouse, and continue to get close to these Dalong officials in the past few days to see if you can get any information that will be beneficial to our Tsarist Russia.
It would be great if we have it, but if we don’t get it, we have nothing to lose.”
Gogorov and others looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
"My lord, I understand what you mean, but before you go to the palace, I hope you can go to the West Courtyard with me to take a look."
"What's wrong? Is there anything important happening in the west courtyard?"
"I don't know how to tell you, Xiaguan. You will know after you go with Xiaguan."
"Okay, but we have to be careful not to be seen by people from the Dalong Kingdom, so as not to embarrass each other."
"Yes, please come with me."
Gogolov led Urinen and others towards the west courtyard of the State Guesthouse. Walking under the corridor, they did not notice that above the roof where they were talking, the place where they knew only birds could rest.
There were two strong men wearing white robes, their whole bodies blended into the snow, and they had already seen everything they said and did.
"Brother Hu, what are they talking about? How should we report to Young Master Chengfeng?"
"How can I know if you don't know? We should first find out if there are any unfavorable factors for young Master Chengfeng around the State Guesthouse. As for the rest, we can't do anything.
We are only responsible for protecting the safety of the young master, and they can only rely on themselves for the rest."
"I know, they have already gone far, let's follow them quickly."
"Well, you must be careful. After all, this is the territory of Tsarist Russia. We are not familiar with the place, so our actions will be greatly restricted.
Especially whether there are martial arts masters like us in Tsarist Russia, we know nothing about this, so we must be cautious and cautious.
It's okay if something happens to us, the boss will take care of our family, but if something happens to young Master Chengfeng, we will all be blamed."
"I understand, it's the same as usual, you and I support each other from the north and south."
"Okay, take action."
The chatter on the roof, as light as mosquitoes and flies, immediately disappeared. In the wind and snow, two flexible figures like eagles spreading their wings covered each other and followed Urinen and the others.
In the open west courtyard of the State Guesthouse, Wu Lining and others hid behind a palace pillar, looking at the three thousand dragon cavalry in the courtyard holding the reins motionless in the wind and snow with stunned expressions.
Urinen came back to his senses and looked at Gogolov beside him with doubtful eyes.
"What's going on? I've obviously sent people to arrange a room for them to rest, so why are they still standing motionless in the shivering wind and snow?"
"Your Majesty the Duke, when I went to find Sulov and the others, I was shocked when I saw this scene. Later, I asked one of our soldiers who had returned with the Dragon Envoy to find out what was going on.
Our Tsarist Russian soldier told the subordinate that the reason why these dragon soldiers and horses stood there despite the severe cold was because they had not received the order from their commander-in-chief to let them go into the room to rest.
They were not allowed to move without General Liu's order. Even if they froze to death, they had to stand in the snow and wait.
When General Liu of the Great Dragon Kingdom orders them to go into their rooms to rest, they will go in to keep out the cold. It is said that on the way from their Great Dragon Kingdom to our Tsarist Russia, it was always like this whether it was windy or rainy."
After listening to Gogolov's explanation, Urinen turned his old and bright eyes for a moment, looked at the three thousand dragon cavalry standing in the wind and snow as motionless as ice sculptures with complex eyes, and breathed out a warm breath.
"Now I probably understand why the 100,000 soldiers and horses commanded by Slav and Ledev suffered such a huge setback in this great dragon kingdom.
If all the soldiers and horses of the Great Dragon Kingdom are like the three thousand soldiers and horses we see in front of us, then it is understandable that half of our one hundred thousand troops died in battle and half were captured."
Gogolov nodded melancholy: "If we dare to treat our soldiers like this, those old guys in the temple will definitely incite the families of the soldiers to protest against Her Majesty the Queen."
"Yes! Those old guys have been emphasizing the so-called human rights they believe in. They really should be allowed to come to the state hotel to see what these Dalong Kingdom soldiers and horses are like now.
It's time for them to shut their bad mouths then.
I really can't imagine what is it that supports these dragon soldiers and horses in such bad weather, and can still stay in the wind and snow like a wooden man, not afraid of the cold and motionless.
Don’t they have consciousness? They can’t feel the cold..."
"We see the deputy general, we see General He Lang, mighty, mighty!"
"We see the deputy general, we see General He Lang, mighty, mighty!"
"We see the deputy general, we see General He Lang, mighty, mighty!"
Wu Lining's words were suddenly interrupted by deafening shouts. He saw three thousand dragon cavalry holding the weapons on their waists with one hand and holding the horse reins with the other hand towards Song Yang who was standing in the wind and snow at an unknown time.
He and Lin knelt down on one knee.
Wu Lining and others also looked at the two blurry figures in Xuemuzhong.
Song Yang glanced around at the three thousand soldiers and horses divided into three square formations, took out Liu Chengfeng's tiger talisman from his arms and held it up.
"All officers and men are exempt from courtesy. You all must obey orders and follow General He Lang's instructions uniformly, and enter the rooms in batches to rest."
"We take the order."
"Brothers, please follow me to the nearby hut first and place our war horses properly."
"We take the order."
Wu Lining stared blankly at the figure of three thousand cavalrymen who were neatly holding the reins of their horses and following behind He Lin towards the distance, and sighed with a deep frown.
"Having such strong and powerful troops stationed in the royal city will be a blessing or a curse for me, the Royal City of Grad."
"Your Excellency, when I saw their morale when I was outside the city, I hesitated. However, there was heavy snow outside the city, and there was no place to keep out the cold. Even if I didn't want them to enter the city, I couldn't find a reason."
Wu Lining nodded melancholy: "The matter is now over, it's too late to say anything. Send someone to closely monitor every move of these dragon soldiers and horses, and be sure not to cause any trouble.
I will go to the palace to meet His Majesty first."
