Nine hundred and ninety-seven. Hello, Grand Duke

"You're really making it difficult for me!"

As the sentry spoke, his eyes fell involuntarily to the shoes on the feet of the Grand Duke of Belstoka: "Ah, sir, although you look very down, these shoes of yours are really beautiful, handmade, and made to order in Florence, Italy, aren't they?" Before I became a soldier, my ancestors were shoemakers, and I can tell at a glance that any pair of shoes is good or bad. However, no matter how good a shoemaker is, he will never be able to put on a beautiful pair of shoes. ”

Gregory immediately understood what the other party meant. When did he actually fall into such a step that he couldn't even keep his shoes?

But the problem now is that no matter what, no matter how the other party humiliates himself, how to save his life is the first place.

Gregory gritted his teeth, took off the beautiful shoes from his feet, and humbly presented them to the sentry: "Ah, you are really knowledgeable, these shoes were given to me by a very good friend of mine, and a man like me cannot afford to wear such expensive shoes." If you like it, then I will give it to you. ”

"Look, I'm so embarrassed......" said the sentry, but he had already taken the shoes, he took off the tattered boots on his feet, then put on the Gregorian shoes, and walked back and forth a few steps: "Hey, look, do these shoes fit me?" ”

His companions next to him burst into laughter. Then one of them ordered Gregory's clothes: "That coat is not bad either." ”

Without a second of hesitation, Gregory immediately took off his coat and handed it to the soldier. As a result, the soldiers' laughter became louder.

Gregory was laughing there, too, but his heart was bleeding. Sooner or later, there will be a day when I must let these despicable guys repay me tenfold.

"Ahh You really deserve sympathy. The sentry, who had been given the shoes, said contentedly, "Get out of here quickly, and wish your poor child a speedy recovery." ”

Grigory thanked the sentry again and again for his "kindness", and then left without daring to stay any longer......

This is the current situation of Mr. Grigory, the former Grand Duke of Birstoka, who no longer has a single ruble on him, and even his gold tooth has been cheated out of him. And even more sad is that his shirt is completely open, and not a single button is on it. His feet were bare. Plus he deliberately messed up his hair. disguised himself with sludge, and at a glance, the former Grand Duke was not much different from a beggar.

He was hungry and thirsty. Now, no matter what, as long as he can fill his stomach, he will not hesitate to put it in his mouth.

It's a pity that he couldn't even find a little to eat.

But Gregory didn't care, because there was still faith in him that sustained him. In the end, he still left the terrible place of Moscow, and he was at least free. And. Soon he will also withdraw his own $600,000. With such a large sum of money, the rest of the days will be very comfortable.

What do those who laugh at themselves and betray themselves get in store? No, they don't get anything, they simply don't have anything!

At the thought of this, Gregory felt that his steps had become much lighter......

Leaving Moscow, he walked for a full night. He didn't arrive at his destination until dawn, to tell the truth. Gregory himself didn't believe that he really persevered......

He saw the humble wooden house, which he had arranged for his wife, Solkina, so remote that few people would come here, and in which there was a very secret chamber in which enough food was stored to last a week, and there was a special equipment for fetching water.

This is the safe house that Gregory has prepared for himself a long time ago......

There was no one around, and Gregory let out a long sigh of relief, at least proving that it was still safe.

He opened the door with the spare key, and then cried out with relief, "Solkinan, my dearest wife, I am finally able to see you again, and you cannot imagine what a terrible thing I have been through!" ”

However, Solkina did not come out to meet him as he had imagined.

"Solkina, my dear, where are you? Come out, I don't want to be alone anymore. Grigory shouted as he turned on the light.

However, Solkina was not in the house at all, which made Gregory a little strange, where else could a woman like Solkina go except for a safe house?

Moreover, for the sake of insurance, he also specially arranged for the two female bodyguards to "protect" her, or more precisely, to monitor her there.

But now not only is Solkina gone, but even the two female bodyguards are gone.

Gregory had a premonition that it was not very good......

He searched the entire house, but Solkina and the two female bodyguards saw no sign of their presence here......

The hood on the couch had never been removed, no one had ever entered the kitchen, and even the refrigerator was empty.

Gregory hurried into the study, and at the edge of the bookshelf he pressed a button, and the Chamber of Secrets appeared in front of him.

He turned on the light in the chamber and walked in with heavy steps......

Nothing! Damn, there's nothing in there! The food is gone, the weapons are gone, everything is gone!

"Solkina, you bitch, bitch!" Once again, Gregory could no longer restrain his loud roar of rage.

Oh my God, Sorkina actually betrayed herself...... I still trust her so much......

He yelled and yelled for a full ten minutes, and finally stopped his abuse because of his physical exhaustion. He was hungry. The hungry were about to collapse, and he thought that he was going to have a good meal when he came here, but now he was in front of such a scene.

Gregory laughed miserably. He knew that just relying on insult could not solve any problems...... Let's save some energy and go to the next destination......

The scolding just now made his already thirsty throat seem to be on fire. He came to the special water dispensing equipment, turned on the faucet, and wanted to have a good drink.

However, it was not water that was released...... What came out was - yes - blood !

Gregory cried out in horror, yes. He read that right, it was really blood coming out of the tap.

The red blood is flowing out there......

Gregory shouted. He turned around and ran out of the secret room......

O God, merciful God, why is such a terrible thing happening......

Gregory didn't know how much he had run before he stopped, and he sat down on the ground. "Whew, swoop," gasped. A nightmarish experience for more than two days. It kept coming to mind in front of his eyes. Is there anything more terrible than that?

Gregory stared blankly at his surroundings, and there was no one, which added to his fear......

He looked on both sides, and saw some grass not far from the increase, which he recognized as edible. He remembered that he had heard that some poor people who really had nothing to eat would often pick these grasses to eat. This is where there is a side effect. Prone to diarrhea.

But for the sake of survival, those poor people can't take care of these things. They take this herb and have diarrhea, and then they take it, and they have diarrhea again, and they can even pull out the bleeding after the worst of them.

That's probably what it means to quench your thirst......

Gregory plucked a handful of grass with trembling hands, and shoved it into his mouth...... At this point, he couldn't care about anything...... His tears flowed as he chewed, when did a Grand Duke of Belstoka actually fall to this point......

The grass swallowed, barely comforting his stomach, and Gregory struggled to his feet......

After barely walking forward, his stomach suddenly began to "gurgle", and Gregory knew that it was a side effect of the grass that was starting to take effect......

......

In just two hours, Gregory felt that his whole body was dying, and he did not know how many times he had diarrhea, and he barely stopped when there was really nothing to excrete in his stomach.

At this time, the Grand Duke's face was pale and bloodless, and at a glance he looked like a sick ghost who was about to die.

Gregory wanted to cry out loud, but he didn't dare, because crying would consume his already small physical strength......

I have worked hard to see the next goal, and it is also where my most hopeful place lies.

He struggled to the front of the house, his hand reaching for the key, but he hesitated, withdrew his hand again, and then he knocked softly at the door.

He was afraid, he was afraid that when he opened the door, it would bring him great disappointment......

After a while, the door opened, and then a voice reached Gregory's ears: "Father, you are here. ”

Grigory swore he had never heard such a beautiful voice in his life, and it was his daughter Lonanova. He hugged his daughter and began to sob: "God, you're here, you're really still here." I know that all people will abandon me, but only you will not. Thank God for the mercy, and I swear I will love you with all my life. ”

Seeing her father's embarrassed appearance, Ronanova sighed softly: "Father, come in." ”

For the first time, Gregory felt at home...... When he sat down on the couch, all the suffering he had suffered was temporarily forgotten......

"Oh my God, you don't know how many terrible things I've been through." Gregory gasped and said that what he needed most now was not food, but someone to bear his pain.

"Father, drink your saliva first." Ronanova took a glass of water and handed it to him: "I know what you have been through, and I know your pain. Because of this pain, we have all experienced it. ”

Gregory actually felt a trace of guilt in his heart...... If you think about it, I'm really sorry for these kids in the past......

Drink a few sips of water. Gregory felt a little more comfortable, and then he remembered the most important thing: "My dear daughter, is that suitcase still with you?" ”

Ronanova was a little disappointed: "Father, you better eat something first." ”

"No, no, I can still hold on." Gregory had forgotten about hunger by this time, and his mind was full of his own money: "Boxes." Hurry up and give me the box. ”

"Father, are you still only thinking about your own money at this time?" Ronanova's face quickly couldn't hide the loss: "We don't want the money, maybe we can live another life." ”

She was giving her father the last chance...... The baron once told her. No matter what happened to Gregory, he would never change, and money trumped anything in his eyes. If Gregory could forget about money even for a moment, the Baron might let him go.

Pity. Lonanova was really disappointed...... What kind of person my father was had been thoroughly seen through by the baron......

"Nope. No, you don't understand, you don't understand. Gregory said in a loud voice: "We can lose everything, but only money cannot be lost." Tell me, my dear daughter, can you be sure that my money is safe and sound? ”

"I'm sure!" By this time, Lonanova knew that her father was no longer saved: "Your money is very safe, you and I can come in and take a look." ”

She didn't look at her father again. Instead, he walked into another room.

Gregory felt that the fatigue and pain in his body disappeared at once, and he jerked to his feet. As long as you can see your own money, what is the pain of this point?

When Ronanova went in, she kept them under cover. Gregory pushed the door open and walked inside...... Then he saw a scene that he would never forget......

Many, many people are in this room.

He saw his wife Solkina, his eldest daughter Natalia, his eldest son-in-law Milosevic, his youngest son-in-law Khmelitsky, and his youngest daughter Ronanova, who had just come in. Of course, he also saw his suitcase.

The suitcase was placed on the ground and opened, and the stacks of money inside were neatly placed.

Gregory had greed in his eyes, but suddenly he saw a young man sitting on a chair in front of the box, holding a little girl. When he saw the young man's face clearly, his whole being was about to collapse.

It was the man who had brought him so much wealth, and it was the person he feared to see again in his life...... For many, many days, he could see this man appear as soon as he closed his eyes...... In his sleep, he had been awakened countless times...... Because, he was afraid that this person would appear in front of him and have to pay everything by himself...... And now, this terrible scene has finally happened as it is...... There was no way to dodge, and there would never be a way for him to dodge this man......

That's – Ernst. Alexon. Feng. Bram - Skull Baron!

"Hello, Grand Duke Belstoka." Wang Weiyi said with a smile.

The Count of Monte Cristo's vengeance, in which he repaid the good people who had helped him and punished the bad people who had done him harm. But what he did was not very thorough, and now, Wang Weiyi is doing what the Count of Monte Cristo did not do thoroughly.

When he came, he was in the presence of those who betrayed him......

"It's you, it's all you." For a moment, Gregory knew exactly how all this had happened, and he pointed to Baron Alexon, and then to his wife and children: "Have you all been bought by him?" You actually betrayed your husband and betrayed your father for the sake of an outsider? You ungrateful guys! ”

"The one who is truly ungrateful is you, Father." "It was the baron who brought us this, but you betrayed him for your own sake," said Ronanova. In fact, you have given up on us a long time ago, but you want us to be loyal to you unconditionally. ”

"We wanted revenge for a long time, but the baron put this opportunity in front of all of us......" Khmelitsky said coldly: "You don't care about anyone except your money, anyone in your mind is something you can take advantage of." The Baron has promised us that we will share the power vacuum and wealth you have left behind, do you think we will choose to remain loyal to you? ”

Gregory's body shuddered...... He knows the truth, but even if he does, what can he do?

The person sitting opposite him is in control of his own destiny, and he is in control of the life and death of countless people. Gregory if he had to

If he admits that he is wrong, then there is only one mistake for him, and that is that he chose the wrong opponent.

"Take the money, and I'll talk to Grand Duke Belstoka alone." Wang Weiyi pointed to the suitcase on the ground and said lightly.

The Gregorian children walked out of the city with suitcases, and no one wanted to give Gregory a second glance except Ronanova. However, even Lonanova finally left the room with a sigh.

"You, what do you want to do?" Gregory asked, horrified. Even, because of the huge uncontrollable fear, his body shrank back.

Wang Weiyi smiled: "I said, I just want to talk to you alone!" (To be continued......)
