Finally, we got into the car and sped towards the Kremlin.

The car was given to Ekaterina by Li Xiao, and Ekaterina regarded it as a treasure.

However, the roads in Moscow, especially the roads paved with stones, when cars walk on them, a feeling of Lantern Festival arises spontaneously.

In contrast, Li Xiao prefers jeeps.

This thing is not as complicated as a car, and its requirements on road conditions are also very low.

The car Li Xiao gave to Ekaterina did not have an air conditioner at all.

But this does not deter the Russian craftsmen from their ambition to flatter Her Majesty the Queen.

It's bitterly cold outside, but it's as warm as spring inside the car.

When Li Xiao touched the seat cushion, it was still hot.

Could it be said that Russia has developed an intelligent heating system?

If that's the case, Li Xiao wouldn't mind snatching the Russian craftsman over.

Sitting on it, Li Xiao understood immediately.

The cushion under the buttocks is very hard, almost like a butt bump.

Opening up the upper mat, I saw a layer of yellow copper underneath.

Understood!

This is a copper hot water bottle that requires constant heating of water inside.

It is estimated that this water was newly added at the airship landing site. It is very hot when you touch the copper sheet.

With a pot of boiling water sitting under your buttocks, it will certainly be very warm in a space as big as a car.

The car finally drove into the Kremlin, and Li Xiao was already dizzy from the jolt. He felt motion sickness that he hadn't experienced in many years, and now he was back again.

Inside the palace, the welcoming ceremony was even more grand.

According to Ekaterina's arrangement, this is the most luxurious reception lunch in Russia.

It was said to be a luncheon, but when these Russian nobles started drinking, it was endless.

It is estimated that when the luncheon ends, it must be midnight no matter what.

A good half day was just wasted.

Li Xiao decided to talk to Ekaterina later, and the two of them would chat alone for two hours in the afternoon.

It's better to talk about business than deal with those losers.

I thought that Ekaterina would introduce me to some young lady from the duke's family, or some count's sister.

Unexpectedly, the first person Yekaterina introduced to Li Xiao at the luncheon was actually a guy wearing a black Orthodox robe and a gold cross around his neck.

As soon as the man approached, Li Xiao smelled a strong... stink.

Yes, it just smells bad!

The kind of stench that only comes out after not taking a shower for a year!

"Dear Generalissimo, this is the Orthodox Patriarch Grigory Yefimovich Rasputin."

Catherine seemed to have suddenly suffered from severe rhinitis and was immune to the stench emanating from Patriarch Rasputin.

"Hello!" Li Xiao nodded politely and decided not to shake hands with him.

Rasputin waved a false cross on his chest and said to Li Xiao: "Hello, Your Majesty the Grand Marshal."

Although this sentence in Chinese is extremely stiff, it is still within the range that Li Xiao can understand.

"Do you speak Chinese?" Li Xiao was a little surprised. There were not many people in Russia who could speak Chinese.

Now Li Xiao saw that the person who spoke best was Brauchitsch behind him, who was ready to act as an interpreter at any time.

"Oh! I have been to Tubo and met the master there.

It was a magical and beautiful place, they worshiped their gods in their own way, and I learned a lot from them."

Rasputin's speech had the basic problem of Europeans speaking Chinese, which is that the root of the tongue is hard.

Li Xiao needs to listen very hard to understand.

"Yeah!" Li Xiao nodded, but he really didn't want to talk to Rasputin anymore.

This guy opened his mouth, with rotten teeth and strong bad breath, so Li Xiao had to turn his head to avoid it.

"He is a magical man, you should talk to him more." Seeing Li Xiao avoiding Rasputin, Ekaterina reminded Li Xiao in a low voice.

"What's so magical?" Li Xiao looked up and down at Rasputin. There didn't seem to be anything magical about him except that he smelled bad.

"My son Paul suffers from a strange disease. As long as there is bleeding in one place on his body, he will bleed non-stop.

And sometimes there will be hematomas all over the body!

Rasputin only used a pair of medicines to cure his illness and save Paul's life."

Li Xiao nodded, miracle doctor!

However, ordinary magicians sometimes play the role of miracle doctors.

The representative figure in China is Zhang Jiao in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

In fact, Li Xiao also knew about Paul's illness.

This is the famous hemophilia, which is common among European royal families.

It is said that this is because they do not care about the consequences of inbreeding.

Even in the 21st century, there is no good way to treat this type of soldier.

I don’t know what method this magician used to cure Paul.

However, Li Xiao is not surprised. The "Da Ming Law" has clearly stipulated that close relatives cannot intermarry within five generations. Anyone who violates this rule will be relocated three thousand miles away and will be exiled to the army for twenty years.

As a high-level disease like hemophilia, few people in Ming Dynasty would have the chance to get it.

Seeing that Li Xiao still lacked interest in Rasputin, Ekaterina seemed a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, Her Majesty the Queen!

Your Excellency, the Grand Marshal, is also a man with magical powers.

I feel that there are shadows of two souls in his body."

Rasputin spoke in Russian. When Catherine heard this, her expression immediately changed.

Brauchitsch behind him was also a little stupid.

How do you want me to translate this damn thing?

Li Xiao saw the expressions of the two people and frowned as he looked at the man he had brought with him.

Naturally, the people with clear tongues would not hide it for the Russians, and directly translated Rasputin's words.

Li Xiao listened to the translator and stared at Rasputin with his eyes!

Remembered!

Finally I remembered this name!

It just seemed familiar to him, but now Li Xiao suddenly remembered Rasputin, known as the Russian monster monk.
Chapter completed!
