"Your Excellency Petrovich is gracious, and I deeply regret the death of Peter the Great of your country, and may his spirit rest in heaven."

This saw that Russia is making Alexei? Peter? Petrovich's demeanor was moderate, although Hongqing's face was still indifferent, but there was a flash of essence in his eyes, but there was no indication until the interpreter relayed the person's words, and then he replied quietly.

"His Royal Highness's hospitality, in the inferior class, should convey it to Her Royal Highness the Empress."

Hearing Hongqing mention the death of Peter the Great, Grand Duke Petrovich's always solemn face immediately appeared a trace of haze, no side, although Peter the Great was already seriously ill and bedridden, but his sudden death was affected by the news of the Russian army's fiasco. can only pretend not to hear the strange words and reply with a sentence that is not salty or light.

"Well, that's fine, let's talk about it, why are you waiting for thousands of miles to come?"

Although Grand Duke Petrovich's words were peaceful, Hongqing heard the pun inside, but he didn't bother to pay attention to it, let alone say anything about it, but asked about the intention of the Russian envoy in a very good manner.

"Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness, I am here on the order of Her Majesty the Empress of our country, and I have a letter of state here, and I would like to ask the prince to take a look."

The so-called people are under the eaves, how can they not bow their heads, although they are extremely annoyed by Hongqing's big thorny shelf, but Grand Duke Petrovich has no way at all, who let Russia lose the battle of Mount Gerdon, the whole Siberia is already empty, but the total number of soldiers in the war is only 5,000, and there are all some old, weak, sick and disabled, if the talks with the Qing Dynasty collapse, the whole of Siberia will have to lose a fine light, such a risk, Grand Duke Petrovich really does not dare to take it, no matter how bad Hongqing's attitude is, He could only endure it, and as soon as he raised his hand, he held a gilded official document high above his head, and made a respectful gesture.

"Hand it over!"

The reason why Hongqing treats all kinds of people in Russia so coldly is that he wants to probe the bottom of Lao Maozi, and now, after a few simple conversations, Hongqing already has a number in his heart, but he doesn't intend to change his attitude of cold reception, even if the attitude of Grand Duke Petrovich is quite humble, Hongqing still didn't give him a very good look, just waved his hand and commanded quietly.

"Wow!"

Since Hongqing had an order, Ding Song, who was waiting on the side, did not dare to slack off a little, and hurriedly responded, strode out from the side, stretched out his hand to take the letter of state in the hand of Grand Duke Petrovich, and then turned around, walked quickly to the copy, and put the letter in the corner of the copy.

"The letter of state, this king will not read it, His Excellency will say it directly if there is anything, and this king will listen."

The national letter was already placed in front of him, but Hongqing didn't even move, but opened his mouth impatiently.

"Your Royal Highness, I have been entrusted by our Empress with the sincerity of peace, and I am willing to be friendly with your country for generations to come.

Seeing that Hongqing didn't even read the national letter, Rao is Grand Duke Petrovich's city was as deep as the sea, and he couldn't help but be angry, even though the green tendons on his forehead were beating wildly for a while, but at the end he still didn't dare to come out, so he could only hold back his anger and explain as calmly as possible.

"Misunderstanding? Hey, what a misunderstanding, it's just a misunderstanding that more than 100,000 people from your country came to our country to burn and plunder? Well, this king is also going to misunderstand, so how about bringing troops to your country St. Petersburg to burn and kill, huh? ”

After listening to the interpreter's relay, Hongqing's originally unpleasant face suddenly became a little colder, and he unceremoniously reprimanded Grand Duke Petrovich.

"Your Royal Highness, what you said is too much, my Great Russian Empire is not a lamb to be slaughtered, whoever dares to attack, my Great Russian Empire's million troops will never agree!"

As soon as Hongqing's words came out, Grand Duke Petrovich's face collapsed uncontrollably, but he didn't rush to speak out, but it was Ivan, the commander of the Second Guards Army standing behind him? Ivanzovic? Grand Duke Ivanov stepped forward with a blushing face and a thick neck, his head held high, and he shouted angrily.

"Bold maniac, look for death!"

"Bastard thing, dare to be rude like this!"

"A group of local chickens and dogs dare to be so arrogant!"

……

As soon as Grand Duke Ivanov's words came out, Hongqing didn't get angry, but the generals such as Tashan who were listening on the side were all angry and scolded one after another.

"Hmm!"

All the generals are fighting men, and the evil aura on their bodies is amazingly strong, so when they start, the momentum is terrifying, and the four members of the Russian envoys who entered the big tent can't help but be shocked by this formation, in this regard, Hongqing is obviously very happy to see it, and is not in a hurry to speak out, but after letting the generals vent, he raised his hand and said lightly, stopping the angry scolding of the generals, but he did not say anything, but glanced at Grand Duke Petrovich and others with a cold face.

"Your Royal Highness, this battle is indeed a misunderstanding, and I will allow you to explain it below."

If you want to say that the evil spirit is great, the generals together are not as good as Hongqing, even if Hongqing does not say a word of blame, but just the solemn look and cold eyes made several Russians a little breathless, and the feeling of being overwhelmed is not much better than facing the always irascible and murderous Peter the Great, not only the Grand Duke Ivanov, who had jumped out and sang a high-profile before, turned pale with a very uncompetitive face, but even the Grand Duke Petrovich, who was very deep in the city, was also drenched in a cold sweat, I didn't dare to remain silent anymore, and I hurriedly asked for a word with a smile.

"Speak!"

After quietly listening to the interpreter's paraphrase, Hongqing's evil anger was subdued a little, but he still didn't give Grand Duke Petrovich and the others a good look, and just squeezed out a hard word from between his teeth.

"Your Royal Highness, there is only one cause of this war, that is, Grand Duke Gagarin deceived his superiors and subordinates, accepted a large amount of bribes from the Dzungar Khanate, and then mobilized troops without authorization in the name of suppressing bandits, and acted wantonly, not only my Privy Council of Great Russia did not know about this matter, but the deceased Peter the Great of our country was also concealed in the dark, for this, my country expresses its deep regret, fortunately, your country has not suffered heavy losses, it is really a great luck, and please rest assured that Your Royal Highness will never cover up the crimes of Grand Duke Gagarin, They will be brought to justice and given a clear account to your country. ”

Grand Duke Petrovich is worthy of being a veteran diplomat, and when he tells a lie, he doesn't need to make a draft at all, he really opens his mouth, and not a single word in his babbling is true.

"That's what your country calls an explanation, huh?"

Hongqing is not a dull head, how could he be deceived by such a flawed lie as Grand Duke Petrovich, after listening to the interpreter's paraphrase, he couldn't help laughing, but the chill in this smile was a little stronger than the previous straight face.

"Your Royal Highness, my country is also extremely indignant at Grand Duke Gagarin's unauthorized actions, and expresses our deep regret for the loss caused to your country by this thief, and is willing to make reasonable compensation, and in the spirit of friendship and peace, I hope to work hand in hand with your country, and to take the Treaty of Nebuchu as the criterion, to achieve eternal reconciliation between you and us, for which we have come with great sincerity, and I ask for your understanding."

Although he was made weak by Hongqing's cold smile, Grand Duke Petrovich did not lose his proportions, and stubbornly prescribed a "friendly" criterion.

"Eternal reconciliation? Oh, His Excellency Grand Duke Petrovich is really eloquent, this kind of robber logic is afraid that only your country can say it, if it is really shameless, it is invincible, but unfortunately this king is not a three-year-old child, Your Excellency should go back and say such nonsense to the empress of your country, you want to talk peace? Yes, but you must follow the rules of this king, and if you don't want to talk, then please do it, and this king will lead his army to your country to find justice. ”

What is Diplomacy? There is a need for diplomacy only if they are equal to each other, as for Russia at this time, in Hongqing's eyes, they can't talk about equal opponents at all, and they are too lazy to play with them to play with the mystery of the clouds, mountains and fogs, but seeing Hongqing smiling coldly, he has no scruples to reprimand Grand Duke Petrovich.

"His Royal Highness the Prince is serious, his words are serious, we are indeed here with peace and sincerity, this article, I can make a guarantee, and I also ask His Royal Highness the Prince to take a break from the thunderous anger for the sake of the friendship between your and me for decades, if there is anything, you and I can sit down and talk about it, right?"

Grand Duke Petrovich has always been responsible for diplomatic affairs in the Russian Privy Council, since he has dealt with Britain and the United States, and has experienced countless diplomatic occasions, which are all wine parties and notes, a group of gentlemen play with the mystery of words, polite confrontation, always let each other enjoy the fun of verbal confrontation, and now, such a set met Hongqing and other unreasonable masters, obviously a little unbearable, inevitably made Grand Duke Petrovich very crazy, However, at this time, people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, but they can't allow them to do it wantonly, and in desperation, they can only stubbornly talk nonsense.

"This king is very busy, I don't have time to listen to Your Excellency's nonsense, it's okay to make peace, this king has a text here, you wait for yourself to discuss, give you two days to think about it, as for the negotiation, just follow this text, the time limit is three days, if you can't talk, then see you on the battlefield and send off guests!"

After a few conversations, Hongqing had accurately grasped the bottom limit of the Russians, and he was too lazy to say more, and as soon as he raised his hand, a book of folds had been thrown into the arms of Grand Duke Petrovich, and then, without giving him any more chance to distinguish, with a wave of his hand, he had already given the order to expel the guest in a cold voice.

Grand Duke Petrovich had no more words to explain, but before he could speak, Ding Song and other guards who were waiting on the side had already flashed out in stride, and without saying a word, they drove all four Russians out of the Chinese tent......
