56. Conditions
Although Wang Weiyi was a baron, he was nothing in front of the countess's housekeeper Deppsey.
After standing outside the Earl's Manor for twenty minutes, he finally waited for a gratifying news: Countess Schiller was willing to meet Baron Alexander at night.
When he saw Countess Reoni, Reoni seemed to have fallen asleep, which can be seen from his expression.
Wang Weiyi sat down and asked Deppsey to pour a glass of wine for Wang Weiyi and himself. Leonie took a sip and became much better: "Baron Alexander, I invited you, but it was not at this night when I was already sleeping. It would be very rude to disturb you like this."
"I'm sorry, madam." Although Wang Weiyi was a little embarrassed, he didn't care about so much for Guo Yunfeng: "I sincerely apologize for disturbing you, but the situation is urgent. There is one thing I have to ask the countess to come forward to help me."
"Oh?" Leonie seemed very curious: "Baron Alexander, who was personally enthroned by His Majesty the Emperor, the creator of the Somme Miracle, does there be anything else that needs me as a woman's help?"
Wang Weiyi smiled bitterly and decided not to go around in circles: "Madam, after the dance today, a friend of mine disappeared..."
"Is it taken away by Nicholas?" Leonie said without Wang Weiyi's words, and saw Wang Weiyi nodding, Leonie sighed: "Actually, a few days ago, I heard people say that Colonel Nicholas seemed to be very interested in the creator of the Somme Miracle. It was about the day before yesterday that I had dinner with His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen. His Majesty talked endlessly about you at dinner, so I became interested in you, and I really wanted to see with my own eyes what kind of person you are..."
Now Wang Weiyi understands a little.
No wonder the Countess took the initiative to come to him. It turned out that it was because of William II. He did not interrupt the Countess, but listened to her saying:
"In fact, it is not my idea to invite you to be a guest, but His Majesty's idea. His Majesty also knows something that Nicholas is interested in you, but he never believes that a German hero will betray his country. However, His Majesty does not want to interfere in the affairs of the Military Intelligence Bureau. Then there is only one way to give you a title so that Nicholas cannot come to trouble you unless there is conclusive evidence. But even so, His Majesty is still not very relieved. He asks me to invite you once, just to let everyone know that you, Baron Alexander, not only the nobles personally given by His Majesty the Emperor, but also my friend of Countess Leonie Debier von Schiller..."
Now Wang Weiyi fully understands.
It was not because of my great attraction that the Countess was curious about him, all of this was arranged by William II later.
But William II never revealed a word in front of him.
This made Wang Weiyi very grateful. William II wanted to protect himself and maintain a balance in all aspects, so he used Countess Schiller.
Although William II was the so-called "last emperor" of Germany, his bravery, resoluteness and character were also amazing. Otherwise, he would not have had such a large number of followers after his abdication.
"But what I didn't expect was that Nicholas would do it so quickly and would start from your friend wisely." Leonie put down her wine glass: "Tell me, let's see."
Wang Weiyi cheered up: "My friend is Guo Yunfeng, the Chinese man who was promoted to sergeant. Madam, when he was in the Somme River, he fought bloody battles with me, and died, but he did not expect that in our capital, he was the most shameless kidnapped... and the person who kidnapped him was Pompestein!"
"Is that mad dog? Many people don't like him." Leonie frowned: "So why are you here to come to me so late?"
Wang Weiyi hesitated: "I want to ask my wife to find a way to rescue my companion."
Leonie smiled: "What a rich imagination, but I have a problem. His Majesty the Emperor only asked me to treat you once, but did not give me any other tasks. You must know that Nicholas and his Military Intelligence Bureau are very trusted by His Majesty. Why should I offend him for someone I don't know?"
He said nothing wrong. Even if she rejected Wang Weiyi now, Wang Weiyi had no reason to accuse her.
Leonie had a high status in Berlin, but now it is during the war, and sometimes Nicholas and his military intelligence agency were valued by William II.
If Leonie forced herself to intervene, it may cause her some trouble in the future.
After all, no one wants to offend Nicholas.
Wang Weiyi suddenly thought of a book he had read, and didn't know if the plot was useful, so he adjusted his emotions:
"Madam, you have no reason to help me, but if you can rescue 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, no matter what kind of thing, I can help you complete it."
"This is an interesting suggestion." Reoni became interested: "But what can you help me?"
Wang Weiyi said lightly: "You are rich and deeply trusted by Your Majesty, but this is not all. I believe that in the future you will encounter things that cannot be solved directly by your identity. At that time, you can use my chess piece. So I am here not to ask you today, but to make an exchange."
Leonie pondered there for a long time, and her eyes fell on Depsy: "Depsy, what do you think?"
Deppsey stood there and served, and then heard the countess’ question and spoke, “A guy who could kill hundreds of people under the siege of the British is a weapon of self-defense. If he could fulfill his promise, it would not be an exaggeration to rescue his companions.”
"My loyal butler also has a high opinion of you." Leonie nodded: "Baron Alexander, can you keep your promise?"
"I promise!" Wang Weiyi said solemnly.
"In the eyes of others, Pompestein is a mad dog, but in my eyes he is just a dog!" Leonie seemed to have no Pompestein at all: "Depsey, you can go there and bring the Baron's Chinese friend here."
Deppsey left the place without a sound.
Wang Weiyi smiled bitterly. Such a difficult thing, but in the eyes of the Countess, it was so easy. Isn’t it a bit too hasty to promise to do three things for her?
