"Are you uncomfortable? Excellency? Ramsdorf noticed Werther's strangeness and asked with concern.

"I'm fine." Witt shook his head, "Maybe I haven't been able to adapt to the Siberian climate since I left Petersburg, and I haven't gotten better when I arrived in Yekaterinburg." ”

"'The most dangerous enemy of the Russian Empire' is coming, you must ensure your health, otherwise it will not be in a good position to fight him." Ramsdorf half-jokingly said, "You're the most powerful of us to fight him." ”

"You're not kidding." Witt smiled, "This time we are here to express friendship to him and the Qianguo government he represents, hoping to conclude a peace treaty that will be beneficial to both countries, I don't want to have any conflict with him, besides, this person is a soldier and a samurai, and I can only use pistols and shotguns." ”

"You don't have to worry, we've got a gift for him, and I'm sure he'll love it very much." Major General Alekseev interjected with a smile.

Of course, Witte knew what kind of gift the illegitimate son of the former tsar had prepared for Lin Yiqing, but he still hoped that this gift would not come in handy.

"Your Excellency, he's here." At this moment an officer came in and reported that Witte recognized him as Colonel Kondrachenko.

"Let's go, let's go meet him." Witt took his overcoat from one of the servants and asked Alekseev, "His lodging has been arranged, isn't it?" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. It's a beautiful estate. Alekseev replied.

"I hope he doesn't stay here for too long, otherwise, our thrifty majesty will be unhappy." Werther sighed.

"Your Majesty is still acceptable to the necessary ceremonial luxury." Alekseev laughed in his heart at the same stinginess of Witte as his master, Alexander III.

Among the Russian royal family and aristocracy, the most thrifty man was Tsar Alexander III. He set a good example of a financier for the Russian people, and his thrifty style helped inestimably to solve Russia's financial problems. Had it not been for the Tsar's own efforts to plan expenditures on the state treasury and to stop the waste of the people's hard-earned public funds, Vishnegladsky and Werther would never have been able to achieve anything in stabilizing the country's finances.

Alexander III was both thrifty in his personal life and careful in his government spending. He hated extravagance and waste, and chose to live a simple and simple life. When he was tired of eating his own meal, he had to eat a meal for a soldier or a hunter. In the eyes of many, this kind of frugality is a bit excessive. The Tsar's imperial diet was indeed quite rudimentary, and the food of the court master of ceremonies was sometimes so poor that it was unhealthy. Alexander III was also extremely modest in terms of clothing,

Witt didn't say anything more, but put on his top hat and walked out first, the others following him.

Three days later.

Natalia had almost come to the bridge with Dawn.

Before she went out, she first made a conscious touch on herself: she wore a white dress like that Russian girls were used to wearing, and a women's straw hat with a soft white bird feather stuck in it. The face has also been retouched, but it is only lightly powdered, and there is no trace, which can be said to be a moth eyebrow.

The creek under the bridge flows calmly, and the blue sky falls on the river, making the surface of the creek like a piece of crystalline glass. Natalia shone on her own shadow on the water, although the river was still a little obscure at the moment, and her face was a little hazy, but only in this way did her somewhat unpredictable beauty be revealed. She no longer resembles a wild rose, but a white lotus standing upright in the clear water.

She smiled to herself, happy that she had succeeded in dressing up this time, and the general of Qianguo, who had come from afar, was afraid that she would not be able to recognize who this Russian girl was at a glance.

A group of barracuda may have just woken up, and when they were sleepy-eyed, they really took her shadow as a new lotus, and hurried over to peck at it.

The calm water rippled round after round, and Natalia's face was lengthened by the ripples for a while, and shortened by the ripples for a while, and there was no longer a clear clarity.

Natalia watched the barracuda's prank and smiled childishly.

At this time. Someone came at the end of the bridge to ask for directions. The voice came from the willow branch on the ground, with a thick Russian accent: "Excuse me, miss, is this the Iril Manor?" ”

Natalia looked back, and she recognized who he was. Although he seemed to have come a long way, his fashionable clothes were full of the dust of the journey.

Natalia stood in front of him and said teasingly: "If I am not mistaken, you are Mr. Lin Yiqing, right?" ”

"You recognized it." Lin Yiqing was taken aback, and removed the human skin mask on his face with his hand.

"No matter how you disguise yourself, I can recognize you." Natalia looked him up and down, her eyes full of surprise.

"Is this a unique intuition of female doctors?" Lin Yiqing looked at the human skin mask in his hand, and wondered if his disguise technique had regressed.

"I can recognize you with my eyes closed, because I know your breath."

Natalia finished laughing loudly. Lin Yiqing stepped forward and held Natalia's soft little hands tightly.

They walked side by side on the road to Iriel's Manor.

In front of us is Iriel Manor. The environment is quiet and beautiful, with small two-story stone buildings backed by shallow green hills, surrounded by tall oak trees, and occasionally a few beech trees, which are rare here, standing tall on the side of the road, like unarmored samurai, still ordered to guard this small manor. The most rare thing is the nameless river, which surrounds the three sides of the manor, which not only regulates the climate, but also purifies the environment, and attracts a large number of water birds to linger here, so as to add a little vitality to this lonely place.

It took a lot of thought for the Russians to arrange Lin Yiqing to live here.
