Ernst was naturally unclear about the affairs of the Russian Empire, and hid in the town until the next day, when all the refugees outside the town had left, and the possibility of no one recognizing him before Ernst regained his freedom in the town, but he also tried to avoid going out by himself, after all, no one dared to guarantee that there was no one in the town who had ever seen Ernst's portrait or even seen him with his own eyes.

Living next door to Ernst is a painter, he originally lived in the border city, who wants the war to break out suddenly, he has no choice but to flee, because he also has a small capital reason he lives next door to Ernst, looking forward to one day the war can return to his home as soon as possible, there are still many of his treasured works.

Idleness is also idleness, these are the messages that Ernst got from chatting with the painter in his spare time, and at the same time chatting inevitably talked about the current war, and Ernst was very concerned about the attitude of these people, so it also had a deliberate guiding effect.

"The Libo War? This is very normal, with the rise of the Kingdom of Lithuania, the surrounding countries are not safe, in fact, for ordinary citizens, maybe the Kingdom of Lithuania is better to rule, how the current Lithuania is obvious to all, the Czech Grand Duke together in Eastern Europe is a matter of time, the sooner the unification is the sooner the war ends. ”

This was the painter's idea, and although it was wrong from a practical point of view, Ernst was satisfied, because he saw that the citizens of Poland, although they hated war, did not resist the union of the Kingdom of Lithuania and Poland, and they did not even consider it an invasion.

"You're not an ordinary person, are you? But why have I never seen you? ”

The painter was also a big man in several border cities, and he often attended the banquets of some nobles and wealthy merchants, so he knew most of the nobles and high-ranking officials in their wave of refugees, and Ernst was very faceless, so he was a little puzzled. Ernst did not expect the other party to find out his identity, and just as he was about to explain something, the painter seemed to think of something and said: "You are the heir of the family of the Count of Campos!" If I'm not mistaken, you should be his, his distant nephew? ”

Ernst smiled knowingly. He knew that the painter was talking nonsense, and he said it only because he was afraid. Afraid of what? Afraid that this man of unknown origin is a high-ranking spy of the Kingdom of Lithuania? This was Ernst's guess, but he didn't mean to kill the other party, and replied with a light smile: "No, it's the nephew of Count Campos." ”

"Yes, it's a nephew."

I really want to wipe the sweat off my forehead. But he didn't dare to make the slightest move for fear of what Ernst would see, even if he guessed that Ernst had seen his panic, but he wasn't sure whether Ernst was going to let him go or kill him in this way, but he had to follow Ernst's words no matter what the outcome was.

"Poland is a good place, and I, the heir from the Czech Republic, like my uncle's title and domain, I want to inherit more and bigger territories, the inhabitants of which I have no interest. Instead, I need to protect them, you know what I mean? ”

Ernst really expressed himself in this matter, but in the eyes of the painter, he thought that Ernst was speaking to himself on behalf of the Lithuanian government and the king, but it did not matter who it was, because it was enough for him to know that the other party would not harm him.

"I think that as long as it does not harm the interests of the residents living in that territory and even improves their treatment, I believe that they are very willing to let this territory change owners."

The painter's words made Ernst laugh, although he was now in a difficult situation. But Ernst was not worried about anything, and at worst he was put under house arrest to negotiate with Lithuania and the Czech principalities. As long as the attack on Poland is abandoned, then the Polish government will have to go back on its own, after all, no country wants to provoke the Czech principality at present. The conversation with the painter was over, and Ernst was ready to wander the streets of the town, after all, he had not experienced the nature of such a remote town for a long time.

Ernst spent most of his time in Prague in the Czech principality, and in Lithuania, although the palace was in a small town near Vilnius, it was completely different from here. It could even be said that it was two concepts, so Ernst did not want to miss it.

Although the war is also very close to here, it has not been affected at all, and even because of the waves of refugees, business here is very hot. The inhabitants gave their food, clothing, and place of residence in exchange for the money of some of the nobles, officials, and wealthy merchants among the refugees, and of course they only wanted euros.

Poland doesn't know how long it can last, the citizens of the town are not stupid, how can they still want Polish currency, even if Poland can escape, but the euro currency is very smooth in Eastern Europe, how can it not be lost. This is just as the 21st century is the century of the dollar, and the dollar can move freely in any country.

"This is Mrs. Bobby's cake shop, but Mrs. Bobby is more stingy, usually her cake has very little cream, and for the same price you can go elsewhere to buy bigger, creamier cakes."

It was the little guy of the innkeeper's house who spoke, and Ernst used 20 cents to make him a tour guide to help Ernst get acquainted with the things of the town, and Ernst only asked casually about the little guy's complaints, but the little guy replied very seriously: "The rest of the place is farther away, and the cost and time alone have exceeded this price of cream." ”

Ernst glanced at the little guy who was only 8 years old a little strangely, he didn't expect that this little guy was so young that he actually knew how to calculate accounts, which was something that Ernst didn't understand in his previous life when he was a teenager, and unconsciously Ernst admired him a little, and to be able to get the appreciation of a king and the grand duke, you can imagine his development in the future.

"What's your name?"

Actually, the little guy had already said it, but how could Ernst remember the name of such a passer-by? It is a good thing to ask a question repeatedly, provided that the person knows who he is and understands what it means.

"William, William. Sakharov, honorable sir, please remember this name, because in the future he will appear frequently in the newspapers. ”

It is not clear whether there was a figure in the previous life Ernst, but he understood that in this life William. Sakharov will be as he says he is, and he will become a very famous figure in Poland. Touching William's head, Ernst continued to walk forward in his dissatisfaction.

When William. When Sakharov caught up, Ernst casually asked as he walked: "William, what is your dream?" ”

Ernst's words made William. Sakharov was stunned, and just when Ernst thought he was thinking, he said: "Dreams? What is the dream? ”

Belch...... Ernst couldn't help but stop, but soon he remembered that the other party was just a little guy of seven or eight years old, and it was natural that he didn't know what a dream was, so he explained: "It's what kind of person you want to be in the future, with power over the world, rich and powerful, and a group of wives and ......."

"Of course, it's a rich country, and I want to sleep and eat on gold in my dreams......"

"If you're the only one on the golden bed, I'm sure you don't like it either."

After a teasing remark, Ernst continued to wander around the town, leaving the little guy with a puzzled face and muttering, "Do you let anyone else sleep with me?" Don't want it, the gold is all mine alone, and no one else can snatch it, it's Dad...... Give him a little at most. ”

If other people knew that the great Czech Grand Duke and the King of Lithuania were playing with the little boy here, you must know that it had been two days since Ernst disappeared at this time, not to mention the Kingdom of Lithuania and the Czech Duchy, even Poland also noticed that something was wrong, because there seemed to be a lot of Czech and Lithuanian spies in the country.

By this time the besieged army had already made contact with the Kingdom of Lithuania, but unfortunately they reported that Ernst had left Goudap ahead of schedule. It would be better to have no such news, because then at least they thought Ernst was safe, but for now...... There was no king on the Lithuanian border and in Vilnius.

It is said that as many as three or four thousand intelligence personnel went to Poland that day, which directly caused a sensation in the entire Polish government, and it was only under full operation that the situation in Poland was stabilized, but at this time the Polish prisons were also full of spies and agents from the two countries.

For these people, the Polish government naturally did not dare to execute, and there were too many of them, who dared to guarantee that their actions would not provoke the two countries? Therefore, they can only imprison these spies and agents in prisons, with good food, good drink, and good hospitality, in fact, the Polish president could not imagine that at this time, many of their officials have begun to closely contact these agents and spies who are imprisoned in prisons, and their purpose is only one, to see if they can maintain their current position after the end of the Libo War.

No one thinks that Poland can hold on, even their president himself thinks the same way, if it weren't for the fact that he really couldn't surrender, it is estimated that he would have surrendered directly at this time, so why bother suffering here.

He naturally saw the actions of the officials below, but what he saw was only a small part, if someone really counted, then it would be able to understand that sixty percent of the officials of the entire Republic of Poland had actually contacted spies and agents from the Kingdom of Lithuania and the Czech Duchy, that is to say, even if there was no border war, if the same thing happened, it is estimated that Poland would have perished.
