On June 1, Tsar Nicholas II held a coronation ceremony in the Grand Palace of the Summer Palace in St. Petersburg.

As an invaded country, the Qing Empire should not have attended the coronation of the Tsar, but the cowardly Qing Zheng Axe still asked Wang Chenhao to participate as originally planned, and presented a gold medal of good-neighborliness and friendship presented by Emperor Guangxu, and engraved an article on the eternal reconciliation between the Qing Empire and the Russian Empire, which is simply ridiculous.

Only the Qing court can do such a ridiculous thing, and Wang Chenhao, as the executor, can only smile bitterly at this.

Nicholas II's coronation ceremony was extremely luxurious, I saw him standing under the stage in a gorgeous dress, jewels and jewels, and after the priest took the scriptures and chanted, he declared that Nicholas II as the emperor of the Russian Empire was a divine right of king, and then gave Nicholas II the crown to wear, and then awarded him the scepter of inheritance.

The Tsar's Crown is the most expensive in the world, and the Grand Crown is simply a collection of diamonds. It was specially made in 1762 by court jewellers for the coronation of Catherine II, and it features more than a dozen of the most important diamonds removed from the crowns of the kings of Europe at the time. Artisans set 4,936 diamonds in the crown, weighing a total of 2,858 carats, and the entire crown weighs 1,907 grams. At the top of the crown is the world's heaviest spinel at 398.72 carats. Gemologists have long believed that it was a ruby, only to discover that it turned out to be an extremely rare spinel. Therefore, the total value of this crown is more than 30 million US dollars, which is at least 2 billion US dollars in Wang Chenhao's era without inflation.

In addition to the crown, Nicholas II's heirloom scepter was priceless. The Orlov, the world's third-largest diamond, weighing 200 carats, was welded into a carved sterling silver seat and set on the top of a Russian scepter. This, combined with the legend of this diamond, makes the majesty of the scepter intimidating.

Wang Chenhao stared at the crown and scepter of Nicholas II, but he was fighting their ideas in his heart, secretly thinking that the tsar would not have many years to live, and he would definitely get these two treasures when he had the opportunity in the future. Of course, Russia's diamond vault is also a target that Wang Chenhao covets. That diamond vault is still the seventh largest treasure house in the world after the sack of two world wars, so you can imagine how huge the treasure trove was during the lifetime of Nicholas II.

When Wang Chenhao wanted to get into trouble, the coronation ceremony of the tsar ended.

The coronation of the tsar was naturally a big event, and Nicholas II was very happy, so he used the large palace of the summer palace and the upper garden as a meeting place for the envoys and officials of various countries, and the lower garden, together with the square of Fran outside the palace, was open to the common people, and a grand garden was held.

The square is lined with a circus and various stalls, selling everything, a supermarket that comes alive. It was said that according to tradition, the Tsar would give gifts to the masses, so many people flocked to the square of Fran, which was less than 8 square kilometers, but more than 450,000 people were concentrated.

Yesterday, Wang Chenhao verbally fought with several important Russian ministers in the summer palace, so that the Russian political axe lost face in front of the ministers of various countries, not to mention, the Minister of the Navy Rovich and the Minister of War Alekseev were both relatives of the Tsar, and they even broke the royal face, and they were scolded by the Tsar when they went back.

The two relatives of the tsars were naturally unwilling to lose face, and saw that Wang Chenhao and Xu Jingcheng and the British minister Sa Daoyi were talking near the Lompson Fountain, presumably discussing a plan to deal with Russia together.

Ksayev said to Rovich: "This damn guy has made us scold and lose face, we have to find a chance to teach him a lesson!" ”

Rovitch agreed with him, but after yesterday's verbal battle, Rovitch no longer dared to underestimate the young man in his early twenties.

The cavalry general next to him, Nikolayevich, suddenly said: "It's not easy to teach him a lesson?" ”

Ksayev and Rovich immediately looked at the Russian cavalry general, known as Nikolai the Younger, and the latter asked: "Do you have a way?" ”

Little Nikolai pointed to Wang Chenhao's location and said with a smile: "When Your Majesty was the prince, he set up an organ there to play tricks on people, and he will let Wang Chenhao, a stinky boy, become a soup chicken later." ”

Ksayev and Rovich glanced at each other, although they felt that this was a bit childish, but they couldn't think of any better way to teach Wang Chenhao a lesson, so they nodded in agreement.

Little Nikolai laughed and walked towards the fountain.

At the same time, next to a small fountain not far from Wang Chenhao, Dairo Honno, the consul of this country in Russia, was talking to the Chilean consul Wei Dila, inquiring about the surnames and data of several warships that Wang Chenhao had obtained from Chile, while peeking at Wang Chenhao from time to time.

Dairo Motono has already received an order from the base camp of the Moto, and he is responsible for the task of assassinating Wang Chenhao personally ordered by Prince Gong Chiren. Dairo Motono has been secretly planning since the day he received the order. After more than two months of planning in advance, the entire assassination plan was prepared.

Honno Daro not only had to complete the task of assassinating Wang Chenhao, but also instigated the intensification of the conflict between Qing and Russia, and had to hide himself from being discovered by both Qing and Russian, so he gave up the idea of directly using the samurai, and instead spent a lot of money to hire a Russian killer named Kikov, and arranged for him to disguise himself as a cleaner to infiltrate the summer palace, and then disguise himself as a waiter to enter the upper garden.

At this time, Kikov passed by Dairo Honno with a wine tray. Honno stopped him and exchanged a glass of wine. He glanced at Kikov, and then looked at Wang Chenhao not far away.

Kikov nodded, followed the instructions of Dairo Motono's gaze and locked on to Wang Chenhao himself, and then walked towards him with a tea tray.

Honno Dairo also said goodbye to Sa Daoyi and followed behind Kikov, while quietly putting his right hand in his pocket.

Regardless of whether Kikov can kill Wang Chenhao or not, Dairo Honno will kill Kikov, this is his overall plan.

Behind Wang Chenhao's side, under the big palace is a group of royal family members from various European countries, and on the balcony on the second floor, there are a group of princesses and noble ladies from the royal families of various countries, who don't know what they are talking about, and sometimes burst into laughter of various tones.

Since the royal family members of the European countries are basically relatives, the coronation of Tsar Nicholas II will also send representatives of the royal family of European countries. The representatives of the royal family are either princes or princesses. They will take the opportunity of various gatherings to get to know each other and find their mates.

The laughter is naturally because of the flirting between them.

At this time, a Russian noblewoman suddenly shouted: "Look over there, it's the cavalry general Nun Rovich, there will be a good show later." ”

A group of women looked at the nun Rovich and saw him walking towards one of the statues in the fountain, unaware of what he was tinkering with.

The women did not know why, but many of them were Russian noblewomen who knew the secret of the fountain and couldn't help but say it.

"Many of the statues of the fountain have mechanisms, which were originally designed by His Majesty to play tricks on people, once the mechanism is activated, the fountain will spray in all directions, and the people below must have become chickens one by one."

A group of women burst into laughter, some gloating and ready to watch the excitement, and some hurriedly calling their husbands to stay away from the fountain.

A woman with blond hair and blue eyes and a luxurious dress suddenly said: "He is really bold enough, there are all important people from various countries below, and he must have offended everyone by doing this." ”

A woman dressed as a noble lady next to her said: "I don't think he will play a prank on everyone, he should want to make someone make a fool of himself." ”

At this time, another Russian noblewoman said: "Just now I seem to have heard Prince Rovich say to little Nikolai that he wants to teach a lesson to that boy from China, it seems that his name is Wang Chenhao, the one who has recently been hyped up by the newspapers by throwing money in various countries. He's there! That young man is! ”

All the women looked at Wang Chenhao, and the blonde and blue-eyed woman said, "He is Wang Chenhao." She saw that little Nikolai not far away was tinkering with the mechanism, and glanced in Wang Chenhao's direction from time to time. The blonde woman smiled slightly, he had already guessed what little Nikolai was going to deal with, and turned away from the balcony.

The blonde woman came down from the second floor and walked straight to Wang Chenhao, with a big umbrella in her hand.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Wang Chenhao and Sa Daoyi were discussing the situation in the Far East, and the British proposal to join forces with the Qing Empire against Russia had received Wang Chenhao's full support. The conversation between the two was very speculative, because when the killer Kikov came over, Wang Chenhao did not realize the approaching threat.

Kikov's eyes were fixed on Wang Chenhao, and he kept getting closer. There was a pistol hidden under the tray in his right hand, and as he approached Wang Chenhao step by step, his left hand took the tray, and his right hand clenched the pistol, quickly aiming at Wang Chenhao.

At this time, Little Nikolai near the fountain statue quietly adjusted the mechanism, and turned the direction of the spray of the nearby fountain to Wang Chenhao's direction, and his purpose was only aimed at Wang Chenhao alone.

When everything was ready, little Nikolai suddenly touched the mechanism with a wicked smile. Suddenly, most of the fountain pipes of the entire Romson fountain group turned to Wang Chenhao's direction, and dozens of large and small fountain water columns shot towards Wang Chenhao's side at the same time from all directions.

When the fountain suddenly shot, Wang Chenhao and Sa Daoyi were about to dodge, but the next moment he suddenly found that there was no way to dodge. was stunned, and suddenly there was a big umbrella in front of him, blocking the water column shooting from the front. Wang Chenhao looked back and saw that it was a blonde woman, but he didn't know it.

"Squat!"

didn't have time to think about it, Wang Chenhao followed the blonde woman's prompt and immediately squatted down, and at this time, the water jets shot from all directions happened to be shot on the umbrella because the two of them were squatting on the ground, avoiding the fate of becoming a soup chicken. But Sa Daoyi didn't have that luck, and was shot right by the fountain.

Although the umbrella is large, the space for two people is still cramped, almost facing each other.

Wang Chenhao looked at her closely, it was a blonde and blue-eyed beauty, and he was about to thank her for her help, when he suddenly heard a gunshot.
