Fifty-six. condition
Although Wang Weiyi was a baron, he was nothing in front of the countess's butler, Depsie.
Standing outside the Earl's Manor for twenty minutes, he finally received the comforting news: the Countess Schiller was willing to meet Baron Alexon at night.
When he saw Countess Leonie, Leonie seemed to be asleep, as could be seen from his countenance.
Asked Wang Weiyi to sit down, and asked Depsie to pour Wang Weiyi and himself a glass of wine, Leonie took a sip, and her spirit improved a lot: "Baron Alexon, I sent you an invitation, but not in this night when I have slept. It's rude to bother like that. β
"I'm sorry, ma'am." Although Wang Weiyi was a little embarrassed, he couldn't care so much for Guo Yunfeng: "I sincerely apologize for disturbing you, but the situation is urgent, and there is one thing I have to ask the countess to help me." β
"Oh?" Leonie seemed to be very curious: "Baron Alexon, who was personally canonized by His Majesty the Emperor, the creator of the miracle of the Somme, is there anything else that needs the help of a woman like me?" β
Wang Weiyi smiled bitterly and decided not to go around in circles anymore: "Madam, after the dance today, I have a friend missing"
"It was taken by Nikolai's men, right?" Leonie didn't need Wang Weiyi to finish speaking, she had already spoken, and seeing Wang Weiyi nodded, Leonie sighed: "Actually, I heard a few days ago that Colonel Nikolai seems to be very interested in the creator of the miracle of the Somme. About the day before yesterday, I had dinner with His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress, and His Majesty talked about you at dinner, so I also became a little interested in you, and I wanted to see with my own eyes what kind of person you really are."
Now Wang Weiyi understands a little.
No wonder the Countess took the initiative to find her, it turned out that it was because of Wilhelm II. He did not interrupt the countess, but listened to her continue:
"Actually, it was not my idea to invite you to be a guest, but your majesty's idea. His Majesty also knows some of the things that Nikolai is interested in you, but he does not believe that a German hero would betray his country. However, His Majesty does not want to meddle in the affairs of the Military Intelligence Bureau, so there is only one way, to give you a knighthood, so that Nikolai will not be able to come to you for trouble unless there is conclusive evidence, but even so, His Majesty is still not very relieved, he asked me to invite you once, just to let everyone know that you, Baron Alexon, are not only a nobleman personally given by His Majesty the Emperor, but also a friend of my Countess Léonne Debière von Schiller."
Now Wang Weiyi completely understands.
It wasn't that he was so attractive that the countess were curious about herself, it was all arranged by Wilhelm II in the back.
But Wilhelm II never uttered a word in front of him.
This made Wang Weiyi very grateful. Wilhelm II wanted to protect himself and maintain a balance in all aspects, so he used the Countess Schiller.
Although Wilhelm II is the so-called "last emperor" of Germany, he is brave, resolute, and admirable in character, otherwise he would not have such a large number of followers after his abdication.
"But what I didn't expect was that Nikolai would do it so quickly, and be smart enough to start with your friend." Leonie put down her glass, "Let's talk about it." β
Wang Weiyi perked up his spirits: "This friend of mine is the Chinese Guo Yunfeng who was just promoted to sergeant. Madame, when he was in the Somme, he and I fought bloodily, born and died, but did not expect that in our capital he was kidnapped by the most shameless kidnapping, and the person who kidnapped him was Pompestan! β
"The mad dog? Many people don't like him. Leonie frowned, "Then why did you come to me so late?" β
Wang Weiyi hesitated: "I want to ask Madame to find a way to rescue my companion." β
Leonie smiled: "What a rich imagination, but I have a problem, His Majesty the Emperor only asked me to feast you once, but did not give me any other tasks. You learned that Nikolai and his military intelligence were very trusted by His Majesty, so why should I offend him for someone I don't know? β
What he said was not wrong at all, even if she rejected Wang Weiyi now, Wang Weiyi did not have any reason to accuse her.
Leonie had a high position in Berlin, but it was now during the war, and sometimes Nikolai and his military intelligence were held in high esteem by Wilhelm II.
If Leonie forcibly intervenes, she may be in some trouble in the future.
After all, no one wants to offend Nikolai.
Wang Weiyi suddenly thought of a book he had read, and he didn't know if the plot in Lu Dao was useful, so he adjusted his emotions:
"Madame, there is no reason for you to help me, but if you can save my companion this time, then I promise you that at any time in the future, you can ask me to do three things for you, and I can help you do whatever it is."
"That's an interesting proposition." Leonie suddenly became interested: "But what can you help me?" β
Wang Weiyi said lightly: "You are rich and have won the trust of Your Majesty, but this is not all, I believe that in the future, you will definitely encounter things that cannot be solved directly by your identity." At that point, you'll be able to use my chess piece. So I'm not here today to ask you, but to make an exchange. β
Leonie pondered there for a long time, and her eyes fell on Depsie: "Depsie, what do you say? β
Depsie had been standing there waiting, when he heard the countess's question, and then he said: "A fellow who can kill hundreds of people surrounded by the British is a sharp weapon of self-defense. If he can keep his promise, the request to save his companion is not excessive. β
"My loyal butler also thinks highly of you." Leonie nodded, "Baron Alexon, can you keep your promise?" β
"I promise!" Wang Weiyi said solemnly.
"Pompestein is a mad dog in the eyes of others, but in my eyes he is nothing but a dog!" Leonie didn't seem to take any of Pompeystan's eyes at all: "Depsie, you personally make a trip to bring the baron's Chinese friends here." β
Depsie left without a word.
Wang Weiyi smiled bitterly, such a difficult thing, but in the eyes of the countess, it was so easy, was it a little too hasty to promise to do three things for her?
But now in order to rescue Guo Yunfeng, I can't care so much.
