When everything was done, the group immediately went to join the other team.

Chirp - tweet - tweet -

Peter whistled as he walked, but there was no response for a long time.

“... My poor dogs, you have escaped the Siberian cold, but you have not survived the warm summer."

Chirp - Chirp -

He still did not give up, whistled all the way, and Mirkovsky ignored several reminders to him.

Wang-Wang-

Just when Peter was feeling hopeless, there were several barking dogs.

Barking! Barking!

Woohoo - whoop -

Hearing a familiar howl, Peter excitedly imitated a wolf's howl.

"Great, Kaga, Jerg, and Micah are still there!"

Two huskies and one Samoyed came running in joy and threw Peter to the ground.

"Haha, it's great that you're still here~"

The three dogs rubbed their tongues against Peter's face and hands affectionately.

"Your Highness! Thank God you are safe! ”

At this time, a woman came running with her skirt, it was Catherine.

"Oh dear, you're there too!"

Peter stood up and embraced the woman who was rushing to him with open arms.

At 9 o'clock that night, 12 people and 3 half-dogs arrived in the small town of Higray.

Only then did they learn that because of the heavy rain yesterday, Empress Elizabeth and her party had to take a long detour and arrive in the city this afternoon.

"That is... Is the aunt the real target? ”

Peter glanced at Mirkovsky and Larshev.

"Peter! Thank God you're fine! ”

Upon arrival at the temporary castle, Empress Elizabeth and Ramozouwski anxiously greeted them.

"Well, I was beaten, I had some injuries on my body, and I knocked my head, and now I'm even more stupid"

The first time he was held in his aunt's arms, Peter couldn't bear the strong and powerful hug.

"Silly boy! Is it bad to be alive? ”

"Yes, of course! I hope that my aunt will reward all the guards who bravely defended me and Ekaterina, as well as my Misha and Salo."

"Okay, I'll reward them"

Empress Elizabeth rarely agreed with Peter.

"Hey, who are Misha and Salo you just talked about?"

"Oh, why did you forget again? Misha my little bear, Salo is the white chubby Samoyed"

"Huh? What the? Are you telling me to reward a bear and a dog? ”

The Empress frowned slightly, raising her voice but not yet angry.

"Reward them, of course! If it weren't for Salo and Kaja, Micah, and Jerg leading the way, I wouldn't have escaped! And Misha, who blocked a dozen shots for me, and almost killed a disguised janissary! ”

"Okay, okay, let's go in and talk about it"

The empress looked a little cold.

"Hungry, aren't you? Dinner is ready for you."

"Okay, yes, I'm so hungry that I can eat half a cow."

Peter went inside with a big grin, and Mirkovsky and Larshev, who were following behind the Elizabethan dynasty, looked at him meaningfully, and then quietly followed in.

“... Fortunately, I hid quickly at the time, or my head would have been cut off, and then I turned around and stabbed the man, and I was cut down at that time, which was very relieving! ”

Peter recounted his heroic deeds as he ate, and from time to time he took a sip of wine to moisten his throat.

Only the Empress and Razumovsky were seated together, and Catherine said that she had no appetite and had left early to rest.

"Oh, you're amazing, huh? Why don't I see you're so brave? ”

The Empress was a little sick to her stomach when she heard this, and deliberately sneered.

"Alas, don't you know, this person is really going to be in a critical situation, and he still has to rely on himself! It's useless to beg for others! It is called that the heavens should not be, and the earth is not spiritual, except for the knife in his hand and the resentment in his heart that is unwilling to die, everything else is in vain! ”

"It seems that after this incident, you have become a little cynical."

"That's right, this person, it's hard to understand without going through the test of life and death, even if you have heard and seen it, you just can't think about it, you have to pass the most sinister test before you can get God's salvation, I really understand this time!"

"Okay, if you can really mature from now on, you won't have experienced it in vain."

The Empress nodded slowly, noncommittally.

"By the way, Auntie, I think it's likely that this time it was..."

"Don't talk about this today, you still have injuries on your body, wait until you get to Kursk, the mysterious clerk will come and discuss it, rest early after eating, I'm really a little tired, so I'll leave early"

“... Oh, that... Good night, auntie"

Peter stood up and raised his right hand and made a knightly salute.
