Chapter 79 What's the Use of You
George is confident in his reaction ability and athletic ability. The narrow environment of the carriage will not only not provide enough protection for George, but will instead become a cage for George.
Ya Er was killed by an assassin while sitting in a carriage, which gave George every reason to refuse the carriage.
The Crown Prince traveled with great fanfare, with hundreds of guards cheering in front and behind him, and the only carriage was heavily protected by the guards.
George and Nicholas rode horses and walked at the back of the entire team.
"Isn't this too dangerous?" Nikolai's face was full of excitement.
George didn't feel that he was making a fuss. If possible, George would rather go by himself and let Nicholas stay in Gatchina Palace to take care of Georgi.
The fact that Nikolai and Georgi slipped and fell into the water sounded the alarm for George. If something went wrong with Nikolai, George would be angry regardless of whether George was responsible or not.
Georgi is still lying on the bed. If anything happens to Nikolai again, Asan and Maria will go crazy.
"Put this on-" George handed Nicholas a mask.
"What is this?" Nicholas had never seen a mask before.
“Wear it on your face to stop dust——” George helped Nicholas put on the mask.
"Is this necessary-" Volkov muttered quietly, George did not prepare his.
Nicholas was cheerful and did whatever George asked him to do.
"Volkov, go to the front." George asked Volkov to go away. This guy was actually still wearing a dress and was as gorgeous as a big rooster.
"Duke, I must stay with the crown prince." Volkov looked at the carriage with fear in his eyes.
No matter how smart you are, you still know that the carriage is a bait, and the closer you get to the carriage, the more dangerous it is.
"Go Volkov, don't get too close to the carriage." Nikolai was still kind-hearted and didn't want to put anyone around him in danger.
Volkov looked at George with resentful eyes and rode forward.
"George, don't be too harsh on Volkov, he is a very good person." Nikolai's world is full of good people.
This is the truth. Anyone who dares to be disrespectful to Nicholas will be sent to Siberia by the Tsar.
"Good, but useless." George was an absolute pragmatist.
Nicholas was silent. His understanding of usefulness and uselessness was different from George's.
In Nicholas's view, it is useless to make money.
Volkov’s effect on Nikolai is similar to the effect of wealth on George.
George himself put on a mask, and now everyone looked the same.
If it weren’t for George’s whim, masks wouldn’t have been invented until 1897.
Now masks naturally become George's invention. The reason is that the road traffic conditions are not good and there is too much dust.
George and Nicholas were at the back of the entire team. The cavalry in front galloped past, stirring up dust like an earth dragon. Masks were still necessary.
The outskirts of St. Petersburg were sparsely populated, the Guards were very fast, and there were no accidents on the road.
Entering St. Petersburg, the streets became narrower and more people walked on the road, and the team began to slow down.
George controlled the reins with one hand and placed one hand on the handle of No. 3 gun at his waist.
This No. 3 was modified by George. The barrel was shortened and a handguard was added to the handle. The holster was also carefully sewn by Dalia, allowing George to pull it out as quickly as possible.
There was a royal emblem on the carriage. Pedestrians on the road took off their hats and bowed to the carriage. The knights of the Guards also raised their chests and raised their heads. They had long been accustomed to this scene.
Nicholas moved his hands, probably wanting to wave to the pedestrians on the roadside.
"Don't make any moves." George stopped him in time. He and Nicholas were now just guards of the carriage.
As the team gets closer and closer to the Petersburg Academy of Sciences, more and more students are on the roadside. Nicholas's donation of 100,000 rubles to the Petersburg Academy of Sciences was widely publicized and praised by everyone in St. Petersburg after Butrelov's vigorous publicity.
The staff and students of the Academy of Sciences are even more grateful to Nicholas. They have received tangible benefits, and their work and study environment and living standards have been greatly improved.
Nicholas and George came to the Academy of Sciences without notifying anyone, but the double-headed eagle badge on the carriage was so eye-catching that students soon waved and cheered at the carriage.
Nicholas became agitated again, and George became more and more nervous.
The students of the Academy of Sciences wear robes, and no one knows what is hidden under the robes.
The students were enthusiastic, with cheers and applause rising in waves. Enthusiastic girls threw flowers at the carriage to express their love for Nicholas.
Russian girls are so passionate.
In the midst of this commotion, a bomb with green smoke suddenly flew towards the carriage in the middle of the team.
Boom——
The bomb was so powerful that the carriage was torn apart, the driver who was driving the carriage was directly killed, and several guards closest to the carriage also fell in a pool of blood.
The horse pulling the carriage was frightened and ran wildly with the dilapidated carriage.
Other guards' horses were also affected. The guards tried their best to control the horses. Volkov drew his saber and shouted in panic. No one could hear what he was shouting.
The incident happened suddenly. Pedestrians and students on both sides of the road were also greatly frightened. Several passers-by panicked and rushed towards George and Nicholas.
"Go back, go back to Gatchina -" Volkov finally came to Nikolai's side.
Nicholas was confused and looked at George subconsciously.
George had no time to talk nonsense. He took Nicholas's horse rein, kicked away a guy who was coming towards him, and galloped towards the Academy of Sciences.
Theoretically it is definitely the safest to go back to Gatchina Palace.
But it is too far away from Gatchina Palace, but the Academy of Sciences, which is close at hand, is safer.
George does not believe that the staff and students of the Academy of Sciences are assassins.
Even if there are assassins, as long as Nikolai is kept in a safe environment, George is confident in ensuring Nikolai's safety.
"George, what are you doing?" Volkov was shocked.
"Shut up! Get out of the way!" George bumped directly into Volkov.
On weekdays, you look like a dog, but when something happens, you panic. What’s the use of you!
Assassins emerge one after another, and Nikolai's guards have various plans for assassination operations. The key is for the commander to remain calm.
George is the backbone of the Guard at this time.
Volkov didn't expect that George would really hit him, and he hurriedly controlled the horse and hid aside.
Another bomb flew over.
George threw the reins to Andre next to him, pulled out the Berdan II rifle from the saddle bag with his backhand, threw it into the air and still had time to wrap his arms around the gun, and grabbed the barrel of the gun, like Like a baseball, whip the bomb back hard.
lie!
This gun must have been made by Tula. The quality of the gun stock was not very good, and it was actually broken into pieces by George.
Fortunately, the bomb was also withdrawn.
Boom——
The violent explosion made the scene even more chaotic. The screams and painful wails were actually mixed with sporadic cheers and applause.
George followed the sound and looked over. The ones cheering and applauding were a few female students who were watching the excitement from a distance.
You guys really don’t mind watching the excitement!
