Chapter 302 - The First Person to Clear (9)
When Ablin saw his companion he hadn't seen in a long time, he didn't know how to react! Is it a surprise, or a chagrin! After all, just now I finally made a difficult choice and made up my mind, but I "forgot", or "believed", that I would never see any of my companions in this mission again, and even if we met again, it would be tense and incompatible. But who would have thought that they would be in the same room so quickly now, and without the company of the senior bureaucrats of the Qing Dynasty!
You know, since the "centurion" Uenqi returned to the camp with an injury a few days ago, I don't know why he gave a new order, anyway, he and Yaryzhkin and the hateful "noble lord" Ivanov were not allowed to see each other again. At that time, to be honest, although Ablin sometimes couldn't help but like this kind of day without being endlessly harassed by two fools, which could be used to meditate on his next steps, the absence of news always made people feel uneasy, for fear that something terrible would happen to them, and then affect themselves.
After a moment's hesitation, the clever Ablin decided to stand still and act according to his plan, first stabilizing his Cossack companion, and then acting at the opportunity.
So, in Yaryzhkin's opinion, the vague uneasiness that Ablin should have had for many days was finally partially alleviated when he saw him. The only doubt on his face should be that he didn't know where Ivanov was.
Yarezhkin, who has also made a difficult choice, really doesn't know that Ablin is at this moment. I have already made up my mind as myself, and the next step is to "test" where the other party is going!
Therefore, in the house at this time, although the two colleagues who have not seen each other for a long time may not be ecstatic at the moment, they are still very "happy" to be reunited after a long time in the "prison" of the same disease.
"Ablin, I thought I was going to be sent to the gallows. It's great to see you again, my friend. ”
Yaryzhkin first stretched out his arms and welcomed his companion with some "excitement". He has completely fallen out with Ivanov. The last member of the three-member "leading group" is an important player who must be wooed, or identified as soon as possible.
"Oh...... I also want to thank Allah for His providence! My friend, the brave Cossack warrior. My faithful Yarezhkin! ”
To tell the truth, Ablin may not have been as sincere as Yaryzhkin's "little excitement", but he still hugged the Cossack very "appropriately".
The Cossacks easily freed themselves from the arms of the Central Asians, pulling Ablin to sit down. One side opened the topic.
"Come on. Sit down. My Minister! Yaryzhkin graciously pressed Ablin to his seat, but he stood on the ground, and did not sit down with him. Ablin could only obey by brute force. But he kept an alert heart - laughing without saying a word, and braking with stillness.
"Dear Ablin, do you know that this is a new city, right on the shores of Lake Baikal, and it is really not small, called Ulan-Ude?"
"Oh, you're right, my friend! I just found out today, I've just arrived here. Ablin straightened his robe and replied slowly, but wisely omitted many of the details he had seen.
"What do you say? Just arrived today? No wonder I've missed you for a long time to meet again today! We've been here for days. As a "straightforward" Cossack head, Yaryzhgin naturally did not bother to figure out why the envoy of the trip, the Bukhara merchant, was deliberately delayed for several days.
"Really? You guys? You mean, you and Fyodor? Ivanov came along? You haven't been apart? Ablin had to pay attention to this. At this time, he also needs to distinguish as soon as possible whether his two companions are worthy of his next step of wooing and forming an alliance.
"Yes, my friend. I came with the tsar's courtier, but I wasn't inseparable! We also live separately. It's my own residence. Yaryzhgin remembered that he had beaten Ivanov just now, and his face was a little unnatural.
"That'...... Where is he? Ablin thought about the effect his plans would have on the two companions, and he was a little unnatural.
He ...... Where he lives I don't know, I don't know. I guess somewhere to get medical attention......" Yarezhkin said half-concealedly, his words a little reversed.
"Seek medical attention? When did he get hurt? Is the injury serious? As soon as Ablin heard the news, he was a little excited, and straightened his neck to ask.
"Well, just now, I taught you a lesson! It's a pity that he didn't kill him on the spot, so it won't cause us more trouble in the future! Seeing that he couldn't hide, Yaryzhkin decided to tell him honestly.
"What? Was he hurt by you? Ablin was taken aback, not knowing why.
"Yes. Ablin, he's been so stupid! At this time, he still remembered his down-and-out aristocratic status, and he wanted to command me everywhere and ask me to completely obey his wishes! How can this work? His stupidity has already hurt us once, and we can't let him do it again! Isn't it, my friend? Yarezhkin said cautiously to Ablin, and subconsciously clenched his fists again......
"That's nature! My friend! Ablin noticed the combat readiness of the big fists on the other side, and immediately understood why Mr. Ivanov was wounded.
But what stupid decision did he have to make? Listen, let me know what brilliant idea his stupid donkey has in his head, haha......" Ablin tried to steady Yarezhkin, and stood up, as if he was going to walk around and listen well, but in fact he was slowly moving towards the door. He knew that Shu Wen must be waiting outside the door for his greeting at this time.
Once it is determined that Yaryzhkin beat up the dissenting Ivanov because he swore allegiance to Moscow, then his fate will not be much better. Therefore, it is the right way to prepare early, shout for help at the critical moment, and take the door away!
"That stupid donkey, haha!" Yaryzhkin also stood up, followed Ablin in a circle, his fists already clenched, but with his back behind his back, and continued:
"He still thinks about obeying Alesek in Moscow, and he has to have a showdown with the Bogda Emperor, do you think this is possible?"
"What? You repeat? ”
Ablin didn't expect this to be the case, and he couldn't believe that the rude Yarezhkin would be as good as himself who "knows the times"! In Ablin's prediction, once he said his next step, the most likely person to see the wind and promise was the aristocratic Ivanov, who was full of money and pleasures. And the reckless Yaryzhkin, eighty percent will be rude and stubborn, becoming a stumbling block to his own plans.
Moreover, Yarezhkin's statement is not necessarily the truth. Maybe this is still a trick designed by him and Ivanov to test himself, and he must not reveal his true heart too early.
"He advised me to abandon you, represent Moscow plenipotentiarily, and negotiate with the military and political chiefs here, saying that you are only a merchant of a subject country, and I am the main envoy, and thus demanded that Chinese release me and him immediately, and then we will go to Tomsk to mobilize troops and horses, and sweep away the Bogda army here in one fell swoop......" Yaryzhkin wisely did not mention his own point of view, but continued to test Ablin in Ivanov's tone.
"Haha, sweep in one fell swoop? It was indeed a trick that his stupid donkey head could have figured out. Did you know, Yarezhkin? The whole of Baikal is already occupied by the Chinese, and they themselves admit that there are at least 100,000 regular troops! ”
Ablin didn't care whether Yarezhkin was a fraud or a real one for the time being, and used the information he had to calm him down.
Sure enough, the effect of this sentence was surprisingly good!

Reading literature and reading history is only a long breath
I was saying that there was an opportunity back then
The layout is a long-cherished wish
It's hard to come and go
Get up and spend a hundred years
Point out the suffering and diseases of the world
The edge of the town was razed to the sea
