By the time Rachel finished speaking in detail, Zhang Xiaogang was still bowing his head and pondering.

"Dude......"

"Brother, you're really happy, so fucking happy!" Zhang Xiaogang came back to his senses, smiled and said, "Anyone who has such a beautiful wife, that is, the ancestral tomb is smoking, but you have seven." To be honest, I'm dying of envy. ”

Chu Tianjiang rolled his eyes, feeling that something was wrong with Zhang Xiaogang's brain.

"Rachel, and you, especially Maya and Kelly, as long as you return with a full load this time, I will personally apply for the merit medal for you."

"I don't want it."

Zhang Xiaogang was stunned for a moment, as if he had been poured cold water on his head.

"If we have merit, you will give us back those diamonds."

Zhang Xiaogang was stunned again, and then cast a distressed gaze at Chu Tianjiang.

"Those diamonds, used to build our riverbend home, so ......"

"Even if we don't return all of them, we have to keep a few. Anyway, it was something we worked so hard to earn, and it was an extraordinary experience. ”

Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said, "This is easy to do, you can choose it yourself when you go back." ”

"It's not bad."

Zhang Xiaogang agreed happily, but Chu Tianjiang had no bottom in his heart. Rachel is not a foolish person, and if she finds out that the best diamonds are gone, I am afraid it will turn the world upside down.

"To be honest, we were negligent." Zhang Xiaogang pulled the topic back, "Although I have already thought that that Lyudmina is not simple, I haven't thought about it so thoroughly. If Rachel hadn't discovered this and taken precautions in advance, I'm afraid we would have to leave Moscow by now. ”

"So, Maya and Kelly have to be allowed into the palace?"

Zhang Xiaogang nodded and said, "Rachel made it very clear that Maya and Kelly have two tasks, one is to protect Lyudmina, and the other is to control her. Strictly speaking, as long as the first point can be done well so that Lyudmina is not threatened, the latter is not important. Don't forget, Lyudmina was the first to discover that Isaac frequented the queen's bedchambers, and with her mind, it was impossible for Isaac to be unaware of his relationship with the queen. As long as she understood this, she should know that even if she took refuge in Isaac, the chances of saving her life were extremely slim. No matter how beautiful she looks, even if she is more seductive than Clara, she is worthless to a powerful man like Isaac. For the sake of the power in his hands, for the sake of his children, Isaac will not hesitate to get rid of Lyudmina. That is, as long as she is convinced that we can protect and take her out of Moscow, she will not sell us to Isaac. ”

Zhang Xiaogang analyzed it deeply and thoroughly, and both Chu Tianjiang and Nichol couldn't stop nodding.

"It's just that there are two things to be aware of." Zhang Xiaogang touched his body and realized that he had forgotten to bring a cigar. Rachel knew what he was looking for and tossed a pack of women's cigarettes. Zhang Xiaogang didn't mind either, because women's cigarettes made in Russia are not much different from men's cigarettes.

"What two things?"

Zhang Xiaogang lit a cigarette and took two puffs before saying: "First, we can't immediately let Lyudmina know how capable we are, and to be precise, we can't let her immediately have great hopes for us. Even if Maya and Kelly were allowed to enter the palace and stay by her side at all times, there was no guarantee that she would not come into contact with other people, and the Kremlin was full of Isaac's eyeliner. Although Lyudmina is very intelligent and has a lot of city, she is only a sixteen-year-old girl, and there will always be secrets that cannot be hidden, and she will always show them in some way. As long as Isaac notices it, it will cause trouble. Because Maya and Kelly are with her, no matter what kind of trouble it is, it is related to us. ”

"This ......"

"The right thing to do is to let her have more confidence in us little by little. I'll show you how to do it in due course. ”

Maya and Kelly nodded and agreed.

"What about the second thing?"

"How to keep in touch with Maya and Kelly, have you figured it out?"

Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

"We can all go up and down, but don't forget, Isaac is surrounded by masters, and maybe there are guys who are better than us."

"Dude, you don't need to worry about this matter."

"Really?"

Chu Tianjiang pointed to his head and said, "Our whole family is heart-to-heart, although it is not very stable, but as long as the distance is close enough, there is no problem. ”

"How close?"

"It's not tested, but it can be sensed as long as it's within normal visual range."

"In that case, that's going to be easy." Zhang Xiaogang nodded thoughtfully and said, "Normally, Maya or Kelly can go to the agreed place at the appointed time to communicate with the elder brother and communicate their feelings. If there is an emergency, you can line up one person to come back to us. ”

Maya and Kelly nodded again, as if they knew what to do.

"Okay, I've said everything I need to say, so let's do it." Zhang Xiaogang let out a long breath and said, "It's not too early, hurry up and try on clothes." ”

When the clothes were delivered, Chu Tianjiang and Nichol were all surprised.

It's all Classical court dresses!

According to Zhang Xiaogang, this is the queen's habit, that is, the queen deliberately restores court etiquette and requires all visitors to wear court dresses.

When it came time to try on, the room was full of complaints.

Chu Tianjiang didn't complain about anything, the dress that Zhang Xiaogang prepared for him was quite loose, and there was no big size restriction on men's dresses.

The ones who complained the most were obviously Nichol.

The main thing is that the waist of the dress is too small, which makes Nichole and the others constantly complain about gaining weight, and they also vent their anger on Chu Tianjiang's head, saying that he made them fat. This can be wronged Chu Tianjiang, the problem is in the clothes, the waist is indeed too small, and Nicol and the others have never worn this kind of clothes.

After more than an hour of noisy tossing, Nicol and the others finally quieted down.

Time was pressing, and everyone did not delay any longer and went out immediately.

Because there are some things to be told, Chu Tianjiang asked Maya and Kelly to ride in a car with Zhang Xiaogang, and he to sit in a car with Nichole and Rachel.

From the hotel to the Kremlin, it is only a kilometer away, and there is no traffic jam, less than five minutes.

To enter the Kremlin, you need to pass through three security checkpoints, and each of them is extremely strict, but it takes more than ten minutes.

This is Chu Tianjiang, and it is also the first time that Nicol and the others have come to the Kremlin, and they are very curious.

It is important to know that this was once the imperial palace of the Romanov dynasty for hundreds of years, and even after Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg, Moscow was the capital of the empire, the Kremlin was still the imperial palace in the formal sense, and the imperial palace of St. Petersburg was called the Winter Palace. Since then, it has been the political center of the former Red Empire, the official residence of all former Soviet leaders from Stalin to Gorbachev. Further back is the heart of Russia, where all three presidents of Russia lived. It is now the imperial palace of the Second Russian Empire.

It can be said that this magnificent palace has witnessed the rise and fall of Russia.

Countless great figures of history have lived here, and then they have been involved in the abyss of history, and all that has survived is the cold buildings made of rock.

In a sense, those tall buildings are one of the great ironies of the history of human civilization.

No matter how powerful a character is, he is a speck of dust in front of history, and history often remembers not the characters, but the buildings created by these characters.

It's not just Russia, it's the same in all countries of the world.

Thinking of this, Chu Tianjiang was very emotional.

No matter what he did, how many people remember him, one day, he will be like all historical figures, become a speck of dust in history.

When the vehicle stopped, Chu Tianjiang didn't think about it anymore.

They were greeted by an internal servant, who was a royal butler, and did the same thing as Clara's butlers.

In contrast, this internal servant official was better served, at least Zhang Xiaogang did not stuff gold bars into his hand.

It's just that the Kremlin is many times larger than Clara's estate. Guided by the chamberlain, the group walked through several palaces for more than ten minutes before reaching their destination: a palace north of the Kremlin, which looked like a church.

The table was set, the chairs were set, and the maids were busy setting up the cutlery and utensils.

According to formal court etiquette, it was time for the chamberlain to invite men to the smoking room, and a senior lady-in-waiting or a female member of the royal family to invite women to the tearoom. It's just that the internal officials didn't invite Zhang Xiaogang and Chu Tianjiang, and no one came to receive Nicol and them. There are only two possibilities for this, one is that the luncheon is about to start, and the other is that Chu Tianjiang's status is not high enough to require special reception.

Chu Tianjiang felt that the former should not be very likely.

Although they saved the princess, at least nominally, they were plenipotentiaries from a union republic and were not official officials. In Moscow, where status, status, and official positions are spoken, especially in the face of Nicholas III, who is restricted everywhere, people like Alexei and Joseph can only be regarded as commoners at best, and the tsar has no reason to be courteous to the commoners.

It's just that within a few minutes, Chu Tianjiang's guess was rejected.

When they saw Lyudmina, Nikol and the others immediately laughed and rushed forward. It wasn't until they found the noblewoman behind Lyudmina that they snapped back in their footsteps.

It was not a noblewoman, but Queen Mary, who accompanied Nicholas III!

Next, naturally, a look at etiquette and politeness is indispensable.

Nicholas III did not immediately invite the guests to their seats, but talked to Zhang Xiaogang. Lyudmina pestered Nikol and them, and from time to time burst into laughter. Queen Mary was obviously not interested in the topic on either side, and stood by constantly shaking the small fan in her hand, looking a little anxious.

It wasn't until Isaac's arrival that Queen Maria showed a hint of joy. It's just that when she saw Clara who accompanied Isaac, her face immediately darkened.

All of this was seen by Chu Tianjiang and Zhang Xiaogang, but neither of them showed it.
