Chapter VI: Half a Day at the Hermitage
1
On the first day of the new year, after Han Jiang and Xu Renyu left, Tang Feng wanted to sleep again, but he couldn't sleep at all, so he simply got up, found something to fill his stomach, looked at the time, it was noon, Tang Feng packed up his things and decided to go out for a walk in the afternoon.
Tang Feng walked out of St. Petersburg University, spread out the map, looked around, northeast across the small Neva River is the Peter and Paul Fortress, Peter and Paul Fortress is the earliest prototype of the city of Petersburg, when Peter the Great built Petersburg, there was the Peter and Paul Fortress first, and then there was the city of Petersburg, the Peter and Paul Fortress later became the Tsar's prison for important prisoners, and now it is a famous attraction in Petersburg.
From here, looking southeast, across the Neva River is the Winter Palace. Tang Feng decided to visit the Hermitage first, so he walked across the Neva River from the Hermitage Bridge to the Hermitage Square, which is a semi-open square surrounded by the Hermitage and the General Staff Building, on which the "Alexander Column" stands tall to commemorate the Russian defeat of Napoleon's army in 1812, a stone pillar made of monolithic granite, which has stood majestically here for nearly two hundred years.
The Winter Palace is a baroque style palace-like building, stepping into the gate of the Winter Palace, a splendid vestibule, a spacious, divided on both sides of the marble staircase will introduce Tang Feng into a magnificent palace of art, the treasures of the tsars of the past dynasties, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo, Titian, Rubens, Rembrandt and countless other Western painting masters, let Tang Feng be intoxicated and linger. Of course, what interests him the most is the cultural relics from the Orient that are treasured here, in the Chinese Pavilion of the Winter Palace, Tang Feng was surprised to find that there are so many Chinese cultural relics here, there are blue and white porcelain from China, mahogany furniture from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and even paintings by Zhang Daqian and Xu Beihong, Tang Feng also saw several Russian explorers here to explore the "results" of China's northwest exploration, such as a Xixia Buddhist scripture from Heishui City, and a Buddha statue from Heishui City, and some other incomplete, Tang Feng has never seen the Western Xia cultural relics.
Tang Feng stood in front of these cultural relics from the Western Xia Dynasty for a long time, these cultural relics seemed to bring him to that distant and mysterious dynasty, their homeland should have been in China, but because of the Russian explorers' western expeditions again and again, they were brought here, Tang Feng had also seen the cultural relics of the Western Xia in the domestic museum before, but at this moment, in a foreign land, seeing these treasures from China, a complex emotion filled his chest, which he had never felt before.
Tang Feng stared at the Buddha statue out of his mind, it was a Lushena Buddha head, Tang Feng had seen countless Buddha statues of all kinds, but he had never seen such a beautiful Buddha, this Lushena Buddha had a plump face, full lips, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he showed a mysterious smile to Tang Feng, this is a smile from the East, it makes Tang Feng intoxicated, and he can't extricate himself for a long time...... Just as Tang Feng was staring at the head of the Lushena Buddha in the display case, a man's voice suddenly sounded behind him: "You are from China?" ”
The man spoke in Russian, Tang Feng was shocked, and suddenly felt that this voice seemed to be heard somewhere, "Strange, I shouldn't have any acquaintances here?" Don't...... Is it Makarov? No! This is not Makarov's voice, and besides, Makarov will not ask himself such a question! ”
Thinking of this, Tang Feng turned around suddenly, and behind him was a strange Russian man, who looked to be in his early thirties, tall and thin, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, Tang Feng thought, who is this person? It seems familiar, but I can't remember it for a while.
Just as Tang Feng was remembering, the man spoke again: "Why, you forgot, that day in the corridor of the Department of Oriental Studies of St. Petersburg University...... At that time, you and another person went to Professor Boris. ”
"Oh!" Tang Feng suddenly remembered the young scholar he had met in the corridor of the Department of Oriental Studies the morning before yesterday, he quickly nodded and replied in Russian: "Yes! I'm from China. ”
As soon as the young man heard that Tang Feng was Chinese, a smile immediately appeared on his face, stretched out his hand to Tang Feng, and said in Chinese with a smile: "Since you are Chinese, then let's communicate in Chinese!" ”
Tang Feng was shocked again, he didn't expect this Russian guy to speak Chinese so fluently, he secretly calculated in his heart: "Another one, Makarov is a KGB and can speak Chinese, Yelena is an ace agent and can also speak Chinese, what is this Russian guy in front of him doing, he can also speak Chinese!" And that already dead Professor Boris! I know so much about the history of China! "Tang Feng is now beginning to have a special kind of caution about Russians who can speak Chinese! It was in this atmosphere that Tang Feng also extended his hand to the young scholar......
2
However, Tang Feng thought about it, "It's not surprising, last time this young man said that he was a graduate student of Professor Boris, studying Oriental studies, and naturally should be able to speak Chinese." ”
The young scholar saw Tang Feng's doubts, and then took the initiative to introduce himself: "My name is Ji Moshen, and I work here. ”
"Here?"
"Yes, this is it, Hermitage! My major is to study Chinese history and culture. ”
"No wonder you speak Chinese so fluently, you just call me Tang Feng." Tang Feng Road.
"Tang Feng? The Tang Dynasty's 'Tang', Tang Feng, is a very poetic name, reminiscent of the magnificent poetry and gorgeous movements of the Tang Dynasty. Tymoshin commented.
It's the first time that Tang Feng has grown so old and heard someone comment on his name, and it actually comes from the mouth of a foreigner. He immediately became interested in the young Russian scholar in front of him, of course, at this moment, even Tang Feng himself may not realize that his interest in Tymoshin is mostly from the mission of this trip to Petersburg.
"I didn't expect to meet a Russian like you who is so familiar with Chinese culture and speaks Chinese so fluently in Petersburg." Tang Feng said in surprise.
"It's all thanks to Professor Boris!" Tymoshin mentioned Professor Boris.
"By the way, last time you said you were the last graduate student under Professor Boris, right?"
"Well, my supervisor is Professor Boris, but unfortunately, he passed away before I could defend my graduation, which is my lifelong regret." When Tymoshin said this, his face sank like water, and the smile on his face was gone.
"I'm sorry, please forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous!" Tang Feng said apologetically.
"It's okay." Tymoshin calmed down a little, then sighed and said, "What did you come to Petersburg this time?" ”
"Oh! Visiting St. Petersburg University for a short period of time and visiting St. Petersburg. No, I'm here to visit the Hermitage today. Tang Feng disguised his true purpose.
"First time here?"
"Well, it's the first time I've been here, and it's really worthy of its name."
"Since you're here for the first time, I'll show you around." Ji Moshen enthusiastically wanted to be a tour guide for Tang Feng.
If there was no task, Tang Feng would definitely not be able to ask for Ji Moshen's proposal. But at this time, Tang Feng actually wanted to talk to Tymoshen about Professor Boris the most.
Ji Moshen took Tang Feng around the Chinese Pavilion, detailing the origin and artistic value of each cultural relic, Tang Feng knew all about these cultural relics from China, but he didn't want Ji Moshen to see that he was very knowledgeable, so Tang Feng frowned all the way, pretending not to know anything, and listened carefully to Ji Moshen's introduction, although Tang Feng felt that this was a little ridiculous, but he knew that it was necessary.
When they walked back to the Western Xia cultural relics from Heishui City, Timoshen introduced to Tang Feng: "These precious cultural relics are cultural relics from the Western Xia Dynasty in China, they were discovered by our explorer Kozlov in Heishui City in northwest China in 1909, which was an important discovery that shook the entire academic community, and is completely comparable to Stein's discovery in Dunhuang." ”
"Western Xia? Blackwater? I've been to Dunhuang, and Stein found the Cave of the Hidden Scriptures there, but I haven't heard much about this Western Xia and Heishui City! Tang Feng pretended to be ignorant, he felt that he was dressed quite alike, and he could be an actor.
"Oh! First of all, I want to correct you a mistake, the Dunhuang Cave was not discovered by Stein, but by the Taoist priest surnamed Wang. Tymoshin corrected.
Tang Feng smiled secretly in his heart, this Ji Moshen is quite serious, he really doesn't know it, but at the same time, Tang Feng also began to admire Ji Moshen's rigorous academic attitude, which is exactly what is lacking in Chinese academia.
3
Tymoshen then began to introduce Tang Feng to the history and culture of Western Xia, and finally talked about Kozlov's expedition and the discovery of Blackwater City, Tang Feng listened to it for a long time, what Tymoshen said was basically what he knew, and there was nothing special, so Tang Feng interrupted Tymoshen's introduction and wanted to ask him some questions that he was interested in: "I'm sorry, I want to ask a question, did Kozlov bring all those precious Western Xia relics found in Blackwater City to Petersburg later?" ”
"Well, yes, Kozlov's expedition was financed by the Royal Geographical Society, so Kozlov dedicated all the artifacts to the Tsar."
"So where are all these precious artifacts stored now?"
"Yes, Kozlov, along with some other explorers who brought back valuable documents and artifacts from northwestern China, are partly stored in the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg, and partly in the Hermitage."
"And which ones can I see?" Tang Feng asked.
Ji Moshen spread out his hands and said helplessly: "It's a pity that all we can see now are a few and very few cultural relics, because those cultural relics are too huge, until today, although after the efforts of several generations of scholars in our country, they still have not been able to show them completely in front of the world, even I, as a professional researcher, have only seen a small number of documents and cultural relics." But believe me, generations of our scholars are still working tirelessly, have you ever heard such a saying? - Although the Tangut was in China, the study of Tangutology was in Russia. ”
Tymoshin said proudly, "Although the Tangut is in China, the study of Tangutology is in Russia. Of course, Tang Feng had heard this sentence, but today, when a Russian scholar said this to him, his heart was deeply stabbed.
Tang Feng tried his best to keep himself calm, but he still felt an indescribable depression, which made him breathless and suffocated! He wanted to leave the Chinese pavilion quickly, but Timoshen still introduced several Tangut cultural relics in the display cabinet to Tang Feng very seriously, the Xixia scriptures, the Chinese scriptures, and the head of the Lushena Buddha, Tymoshen pointed to the head of the Lushena Buddha and said to Tang Feng: "This Buddha head was found by Kozlov in a white tower in Blackwater City, when Koznov opened the white pagoda, this Buddha statue was sitting in the middle of the white tower, surrounded by all kinds of Xixia scripts, Chinese scriptures, and other large and small Buddha statues. ”
"White Tower?" Tang Feng seems to have read about it in Kozlov's memoirs, it was a barbaric excavation, not a scientific excavation at all, Tang Feng tried his best to restrain his emotions and asked Tymoshin: "Is that the White Tower, which Kozlov called the 'Great Tower'?"
Curiosity made Tang Feng's performance just now go to waste, and when he said this, he regretted it, and he had to admit that he was not an excellent "actor"! When Ji Moshen heard Tang Feng's question, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed: "Yes, it's the 'Great Tower'!" It seems that you are not ignorant of Western Xia! ”
"It's over, I've only occasionally read a book about the history of Western Xia before, and it seems to mention a 'great tower'! So ......" Tang Feng tried his best to hide it, but he felt that his acting skills were getting worse and worse.

Ji Moshen didn't say anything, he continued to introduce the cultural relics in the display cabinet to Tang Feng, Tang Feng followed Ji Moshen's introduction, slowly moved his steps, suddenly, in the display case, an inconspicuous, very broken cultural relics entered his eyes, from the appearance, this is a book, a butterfly-filled ancient book, Tang Feng judged with rich professional knowledge, butterfly-filled ancient books are generally from the Tang and Song dynasties, Tang Feng stopped in front of the ancient book, it may be too old, the cover of the ancient book is pitch black, Tang Feng couldn't see what was written on the ancient book at all, and there was no introduction to this cultural relic in the display case, so Tang Feng turned to ask Ji Moshen: "Is this also from Western Xia?" ”
Ji Moshen glanced at the tattered ancient book in the display case, and said, "Yes, this is a book about the geography of Western Xia, called "Shengli Yihai"! ”
"The Sea of Sacred Righteousness?" Tang Feng pretended not to know, but in fact, people who have studied the history of Western Xia know this "Shengli Yihai", but Tang Feng has never seriously studied this book in the past.
"This book was also brought back by Kozlov from Blackwater City, and cracking the Tangut script on it has important reference value for us to understand the geographical situation, mountains and rivers of Tangut." When Ji Moshen said this, he glanced at Tang Feng, Tang Feng also looked at Ji Moshen, he felt that Ji Moshen's words didn't seem to be finished, and sure enough, Ji Moshen paused for a moment and introduced: "However, unfortunately, this "Shengli Yihai" is not complete, it is missing a few pages. ”
"How many pages are missing? When Kozlov found out, was it missing? Tang Feng asked curiously.
Tymoshen shook her head: "I don't know about this. Okay, I'm done with this exhibition hall, I'll take you to other exhibition halls to have a look. ”
After speaking, Ji Moshen walked straight to the other exhibition halls, Tang Feng glanced at the book "Shengli Yihai" again, and hurriedly followed Ji Moshen and left the Chinese pavilion.
Tang Feng finally took a breath, the feeling he had suppressed just now was gone, Ji Moshen led Tang Feng through the splendid exhibition halls of the Winter Palace, Tang Feng felt that Ji Moshen had obviously accelerated his speed, he couldn't keep up, Tang Feng followed Ji Moshen to a luxurious room on the south side of the second floor of the Winter Palace, he still wanted to see more, but Ji Moshen walked to other exhibition halls, Ji Moshen walked more than ten steps, found that Tang Feng did not follow, looked back, Tang Feng was still lingering in that exhibition hall, Ji Moshen walked back and smiled: "How, Can't keep up? ”
"Well, it's a little hard to keep up, you're walking too fast!"
Tymoshin explained: "It's not that I go fast, but the Winter Palace is just too big, the Winter Palace was built by order of the female Tsar Elizabeth, it was built in 1754, and it was not built until eight years later, in 1762, when another great female Tsarine Catherine II came to power, it had 1050 rooms, 1886 doors, 1945 windows, in the days of Imperial Russia it was always the palace of the tsar, after the October Revolution, the Winter Palace and the nearby Little Hermitage Palace, the old Hermitage, The New Hermitage and the Hermitage Theatre are combined to form the Hermitage Museum, which houses 2.5 million valuable objects from all over the world and is the largest museum in Russia and one of the largest in the world. ”
"2.5 million pieces?" Tang Feng was deeply shocked by this staggering number.
"Yes, someone has calculated that if you want to walk through all the halls of the Hermitage, you need to walk 22 kilometers, and if you stop in front of each exhibit for one minute, based on 8 hours a day, then it will take you fifteen years." Tymoshin said proudly.
"Sure enough, it's a temple of art!" Tang Feng exclaimed.
"The Hermitage is not only a temple of art, it also carries a lot of history, for example, the room where we are now, before the October Revolution, was the office of the ministers of the Provisional Government, and on the day the October Revolution attacked the Winter Palace, it was here that the Bolsheviks captured the ministers alive, and if you look at the clock on this table, its time is forever fixed at that moment - 2:25."
If it weren't for Tymoshen's introduction, Tang Feng might have to ignore these details, but look out the window, it's getting dark outside, "The days in Petersburg in winter are so short!" Tang Feng complained secretly.

After Ji Moshen finished the introduction, he looked at his watch and said to Tang Feng: "It's almost five o'clock, and I'll take you to see a must-see place for visitors to the Winter Palace." ”
In the center of the hall of the Little Hermitage Palace, there is a lifelike golden peacock clock, and Timoshen introduced to Tang Feng: "At five o'clock, there will be museum staff to turn the clockwork of this mechanical peacock, and at that time, this mechanical peacock will open the screen with a crisp and pleasant bell, showing its jeweled green feathers." ”
"Really? So magical! Tang Feng looked at the golden peacock clock, it was completely made according to the size of a real peacock, one to one, and it was enough to be admired without opening the screen.
"At this time, visitors to the museum come to this exhibition hall to see this spectacle, and you see, people are already coming here one after another," Tymoshin added. ”
Tang Feng looked at his watch, the time was almost up, at this moment, the people in the hall gathered more and more, and when it was close to five o'clock, the hall was already full of tourists from all over the world, and everyone was holding their breath and concentrating, waiting for this magical moment.
Sure enough, a museum staff came over and filled the mechanical peacock with clockwork, after five o'clock, all the lights in the hall were turned on together, and the mechanical peacock slowly opened the emerald feathers inlaid with jewels with the crisp and pleasant sound of the bell, and slowly turned to the left, the mechanical peacock flashed with golden light, shining, and the people who witnessed this spectacle in the hall burst into warm applause and exclamations.
When the mechanical peacock rotated 90 degrees, it slowly turned back to its original position, and the whole process lasted for a full five minutes. After the mechanical peacock was turned back into its original position, the jeweled emerald feathers were also put away again, and the golden peacock clock returned to its original state. The people in the hall began to disperse gradually, Tang Feng was deeply attracted by this magical scene, and when the people in the exhibition hall dispersed one after another, Tang Feng came back to his senses, but when he turned back to look for Ji Moshen again, he found that Ji Moshen was gone.
Tang Feng was full of suspicion, he searched back and forth in the hall, the people in the hall gradually left, and finally, only Tang Feng was left standing alone in the center of the hall.
"What a weirdo! Come in a hurry, go in a hurry! Why don't you just say goodbye! Tang Feng pondered, walked out of this hall, still didn't see Ji Moshen, he looked outside the window It was getting late, it was time to go back, so Tang Feng walked out of the Winter Palace stupidly.
Tang Feng stood in front of the gate of the Winter Palace, the biting cold wind blew, Tang Feng couldn't help but shiver, and when he came to his senses, he turned around and looked at this magnificent palace, thinking about what happened in the Winter Palace in the past half day, and suddenly felt like a world away. What the hell is going on with that strange Tymoshin? I would like to ask him about Professor Boris again, it seems that we will have to wait for next time! …… But he didn't leave Ji Moshen's contact information, Tang Feng didn't regret it, but after thinking about it, Ji Moshen said that he worked in the Winter Palace, and if needed, he would come to the Winter Palace next time to find him.
Tang Feng no longer thought about Ji Moshen, he felt that it was too early to go back to school at this time, so it was better to take a stroll on Nevsky Prospect, so Tang Feng walked around the neighborhood casually, and before he knew it, he had left Nevsky Avenue, walked far away, and found a restaurant to have dinner, Tang Feng then remembered, what about Han Jiang and Xu Renyu? I just visited the museum and turned off my mobile phone, and I wonder if they went well today?
Tang Feng hurriedly turned on his mobile phone and dialed Han Jiang's mobile phone, but Han Jiang's mobile phone was not answered, Tang Feng suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, he dialed Xu Renyu's mobile phone again, but no one answered! Tang Feng panicked, his brain quickly guessed and judged, and the sense of foreboding became stronger and stronger.
Tang Feng looked around, where is this? I seem to have stayed away from the Winter Palace, Han Jiang and Xu Renyu's mobile phones can't get through, and I am alone on this strange street, Tang Feng nervously looks at everyone who hurriedly walks by, where am I? What's going on? Tang Feng felt that the people around him were looking at him, and he felt a deep fear, perhaps, danger was approaching him!

"It's time to go back!" Tang Feng tried his best to keep himself calm, he asked a passer-by and found his way back to school. Back downstairs in the dormitory, Tang Feng looked at his watch, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, and there was no light in the dormitory, no! If everything goes well with Han Jiang and Xu Renyu, they should come back now, at this moment, Tang Feng can almost conclude that something must have happened to Han Jiang and Xu Renyu, and he doesn't know what he should do next? Maybe go back to the dorm and wait, can you wait until they come back? Maybe there's danger waiting for him in the dormitory? Tang Feng lingered downstairs in the dormitory for a long time, and finally couldn't stand the bone-chilling cold, so he had to walk upstairs.
Tang Feng came to the door of the dormitory in a hurry, and when he opened the door, he immediately smelled a different smell, which was not a smell that did not belong to this room, "If I didn't go to the wrong room, it was someone in the room again!" Tang Feng just wanted to press the light switch, suddenly, a big man in the dark pounced on him and threw him to the ground, and then, the man pressed his knee against Tang Feng's waist, Tang Feng struggled to resist, but the man was extremely large, and any struggle by Tang Feng was in vain.
The light in the room was turned on, Tang Feng was dragged up by the man, Tang Feng found that a thin and gloomy Russian was sitting on the sofa opposite him, and it was a Russian strong man with a big waist and a round waist who knocked him down just now, at the same time, Tang Feng also noticed that there were several strong men standing outside the door, Tang Feng secretly said that it was not good, but he still asked the person in front of him without humility or arrogance: "Who are you?" ”
The strong man who threw him down let go of Tang Feng, took out his document from his pocket and shook it in front of Tang Feng, and said, "I'm Major Ivanlov of the Federal Security Service, and I'm here to handle the case!" ”
Ivanov? Tang Feng seems to have heard of this person, well, Han Jiang told him about it last night, and showed him the photo that Yelena gave him, this strong man is Ivalov, then, the middle-aged man sitting opposite should be the sinister and vicious Ilyukin!
"What does your case have to do with me, I am a visiting scholar invited by St. Petersburg University. I will sue you for trespassing for this! Tang Feng did not show weakness, the reason why he had this confidence was because Ivanlov did not handcuff him, which shows that they also had no bottom and did not dare to arrest him casually.
"Stop talking nonsense, take out your passport and check it!" Ivanov yelled at Tang Feng.
Tang Feng heard Ivanlov's roar and obviously lacked confidence, so he unhurriedly took out his passport from his bag, of course, this is a fake passport made by Xu Renyu with superb technology, before coming to Petersburg, Xu Renyu specially made a series of fake documents for Tang Feng and himself, Han Jiang saved these because of his public identity.
On the passport, Tang Feng's name became "Song Jie"! Tang Feng also took out some other supporting materials, including the invitation letter from the school, etc., some were true and some were false, false and real, Ivanlov checked for a long time, but he didn't see anything, so he had to return his passport to Tang Feng. But Ivanov, apparently still unwilling to give up, shouted and asked, "Do you know the people who live in the next room?" ”
"Acquaintance, it's a scholar who came with me, and we came on the same flight." Tang Feng said calmly.
"Oh! So do you know where he went today? Ivanov asked again.
Tang Feng thought for a moment, but yelled at Ivanlov: "You ask me, what do I have to ask you?" He hasn't come back yet, and I suspect something happened to him and I'm about to call the police! ”
"Call the police? Hum! You answer my question first? Ivanov asked.
"Where he goes, I don't know! It's the New Year's holiday these days, and he didn't tell me where he went to play by himself...... However, I seem to have heard him say yesterday that he was going to work as a translator for someone, as if he was a businessman from China! I listened to it at the time, and now I can't remember it anymore! Tang Feng quickly judged, there should be no flaws in saying this.
Ivanov really couldn't find a flaw in Tang Feng's words, and looked back at Ilyugin, who had been silent, at this time, Ilyugin finally spoke: "Then where did you go today?" ”
"I, I slept until noon today, and then I went to visit the Winter Palace, which was testified, and then I walked around Nevsky Prospect and came back after dinner!" Tang Feng said truthfully.
Ilyugin fell silent again, he really didn't know what to do with the young man in front of him, Han Jiang and Xu Renyu had just made a mess of the Security Bureau building, and all he was thinking about now was how to answer the questions from the headquarters tomorrow.
Ilyugin stood up from the sofa, squeezed out a smile on his face, and said comfortingly: "I frightened you today, we also had to deal with a big case, so please forgive me." ”
"You're so frivolous and it's over, I'm going to sue you!" Tang Feng ignored him and yelled at Iryukin. Iryukin ignored Tang Feng and walked straight out of Tang Feng's room, leaving Tang Feng alone and cursing in the room.

Ivanov followed Ilyugin out, he leaned into Ilyugin's ear and asked, "What is going on here?" ”
"Have you searched them all?"
"Both men's rooms have been searched carefully, and nothing suspicious has been found."
"Withdraw!"
"Are they all withdrawn?"
"Withdraw! This young man doesn't see any problems, our main task now is to catch the two escaped Chinese, but also to search the whole city for the jade interstitial, the manpower is very tight, where is there still someone staring here, the Chinese translator will not return here, you have to believe me, the soldiers are not tired of cheating! Got it! Ilyugin was angry about Han Jiang's escape, and when Han Jiang was arrested, Han Jiang told him, "I promise to get out of there within three days." "It's not been half a day, and Han Jiang has successfully escaped from prison! Ilyugin was disgraced, and his anger was full of nowhere to vent, so he could only roar at Ivanov.
Ivanov could only nod his head and obey the order, and Ilyugin added him to him: "Strengthen the inspection of all passages out of the city, aviation, railways, and highways, all of them must be blocked for me, that * person, and the jade interstitial." In addition, you tell the following, the approximate appearance and material of the jade interstitial, but don't send a photo, understand? ”
"Is that the photo of the person posted?" Ivanov asked.
"Stupid! Hair! Of course, I'm going to post pictures of them all over the city! Ilyugin roared out of the dormitory.
Tang Feng saw Ilyugin and Ivanlov leave the dormitory building, and looked in the corridor, there was no one, but he was not sure if there were any people in Ilyugin nearby, maybe someone was watching his every move in the corridor.
Closing the door, Tang Feng was at a loss for a while, he lay on the bed, clearing the complicated thoughts in his mind, and after half an hour, he came to this conclusion: Han Jiang and Xu Renyu must have gone to find Iryujin, and then something happened, but Iryujin's actions just now seemed to show that Han Jiang was not in their hands at this time, otherwise he would have been exposed if he took himself to a confrontation, and he didn't know what he found in the middle. But Tang Feng clearly knew that this place could not stay any longer, no matter whether his nonsense just now fooled Iryujin or not, he would come back sooner or later! So......
Tang Feng jumped up from the bed and began to organize his belongings, but at this moment, outside the door, he suddenly remembered the knock on the door! Tang Feng's heart sank suddenly, he put down the things in his hand, stared at the door, the knock on the door became more and more urgent, in the small dormitory Tang Feng suddenly had a feeling of suffocation, Tang Feng's mind quickly flashed the image of Iryukin, followed by Stephen, who could this be? The knock on the door hit the door panel one by one, like hitting his heart, Tang Feng felt that he was about to suffocate, he couldn't bear it anymore, he involuntarily walked towards the door, Tang Feng gently turned the doorknob, the door opened, and a familiar shadow appeared at the door.
"Liang ...... Yuan, why are you? Tang Feng was stunned.
"How? Shocked! Hehe! After speaking, Liang Yuan pounced, hugged Tang Feng, and kissed him on the cheek.
Tang Feng stood at the door of the room in a daze, and it wasn't until Liang Yuan let go of himself that he came back to his senses, quickly closed the door, and asked Liang Yuan a series of questions: "How do you know I'm here?" How did you get here? When you came up, was there anyone outside the door? Has anyone been following you along the way? ”
Liang Yuan was stunned after listening to Tang Feng's question, "Why do you have so many questions?" I'll answer you one by one, you think you don't tell me, I don't know where you went, I saw that you and Captain Han were gone, and I guessed that you must have come to Petersburg, and then I asked Zhao Yong again, he saw that I had already guessed that you were in Petersburg, plus I was soft and hard, coercive and tempting, and soon recruited, and told you and Dr. Xu to live here, I won't come. ”
"It turned out that Zhao Yong was a traitor!" Tang Feng cursed in a low voice.
"Don't blame him, the main thing is that this girl is too smart, hehe! Okay, I'll answer your question again, when I came up, there was no one outside the door, and no one followed me along the way, and I didn't find anything abnormal. How...... Why are you so nervous? Liang Yuan looked at Tang Feng with big innocent eyes.
Tang Feng secretly complained in his heart, he was already in danger, and this was another burden, but the matter had come to this point, he had no choice but to say to Liang Yuan: "Alas! You don't know, there's something going on here! ”
"Something's wrong? Haven't you only been here for a few days? ”
"Yes, the first two days, it went well, just today, Han Jiang and Dr. Xu disappeared, just now, I was just searched by agents of the Security Bureau." Tang Feng then briefly explained the situation just now.
Liang Yuan was also stupid after hearing this, she originally thought that she would be able to enjoy the romantic exoticism with Tang Feng by coming to this "Venice of the North", but she didn't expect that as soon as she came, she would be in danger, Han Jiang disappeared, which had never happened before, and the brains of the two people were all messed up at once.

Tang Feng was still thinking nonsense, Liang Yuan calmed down first, and said to Tang Feng: "Anyway, we can't stay here, we have to move quickly." ”
Tang Feng listened to Liang Yuan's words, calmed down a little, and said to Liang Yuan: "I think so too, but ...... But where can we go if we don't know each other well in Petersburg? ”
Liang Yuan thought about it, and suddenly said happily: "It's my turn to save you this time, hehe!" ”
"It's all burning eyebrows, what are you happy about?" Tang Feng was anxious.
Liang Yuan said unhurriedly: "My father's company has rented a suite for a long time in the Astoria Hotel in Petersburg, and there should be no one there in winter, so the two of us can move there." ”
When Tang Feng heard that this was a good idea, his eyes lit up, but he quickly became puzzled again: "Your father's company also has business in Russia?" ”
"I don't know exactly what the business is, anyway, he has business dealings with many parts of the world, the United States, Japan, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and even Africa." Liang Yuan explained.
"It seems that your Liang family's business is quite big!"
"Hmph, it's quite big, but those have nothing to do with me, I've never been interested in my father's business, although he sent me to the United States to study business administration, but I'm just not interested in his business."
"Not interested? I've heard that when you were studying in the United States, you had excellent grades! ”
"That's no way, Miss Ben is just smart, just learn from a young age, and learn everything as soon as you learn it!"
"In that case, why don't you learn the Western Xia script from Professor Luo, so that I can save trouble!"
"Hehe, this is too difficult, you should learn it, you can teach me again!" Liang Yuan said and made a grimace at Tang Feng.
Tang Feng shook his head helplessly, and asked Liang Yuan again: "Then what are you interested in?" ”
"Hey, hey! I just love following you everywhere and exploring like that, it's so much fun! Liang Yuan said stupidly.
Tang Feng heard Liang Yuan say this, and fainted: "My eldest lady, you think we are willing to live such a life, we are afraid, we can't help it!" Originally, I did a good job in college, if I hadn't met ......" Tang Feng wanted to say, "Meet your grandfather", but he looked at Liang Yuan's innocent and beautiful face, and swallowed the words again.
Tang Feng paused for a moment and muttered to himself, "Astoria Hotel? This hotel seems to be very famous, and I seem to have seen this hotel near the Hermitage today. ”
"Yes, the Astoria Hotel is near the Winter Palace, where can we go for a while."
"Your idea is good, but the FSB Ilyugin and his gang just searched this place, and I don't know if they still have someone around here to spy on me." Tang Feng expressed the worry in his heart.
"So you just asked if anyone was following me? However, at this point, it's useless to think so much, if someone is watching you outside, then they will already find out. Let's go now, there is no one on the street at this time, and if there is a tail, we will definitely find it. ”
Tang Feng looked at Liang Yuan and found that she was calmer than himself at the moment, Tang Feng nodded, he completely agreed with Liang Yuan's idea. So, the two packed up their things and hurriedly left the dormitory, where they had only stayed for two nights.
