185 Take Back the Initiative

Mannaheim's surprise did catch Li Xiaofeng off guard. For a moment, a certain immortal was really at a loss. Fortunately, he quickly adjusted his emotions and took the initiative in the conversation back.

"Your imagination is really rich!" Li Xiaofeng replied casually, "It would be a pity not to be Sherlock Holmes!"

Mannaheim exclaimed secretly. A certain immortal's self-regulation ability surprised him. When he was at his age, he was just a young boy and could only follow other people's batons.

But now Mannaheim has no intention of praising a certain immortal, and he must be proactive: "It should be said that your bold speculation surprised me more than Holmes. Do you really think that Milukov's declaration will directly lead to the collapse of the cabinet? To be honest, this is too bold and amazing!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Don't you believe it?"

Mannahem shook his head as expected: "I don't believe it!"

Li Xiaofeng took a sip of coffee and smiled and said, "Like it!"

This time it was Mannaheim's turn to be surprised. He shook his body and said sincerely: "I really don't believe this inference!"

"You believe it!" Li Xiaofeng looked straight into Mannaheim's eyes and said very wisely: "If you don't believe it, you won't come to me!"

Mannahem opened his mouth, as if he wanted to make a statement, but looking at the eyes of a certain immortal, he suddenly realized that no matter what kind of words and reasons were, he did believe in the prediction of a certain immortal.

After a long time, Mannahem sighed, because he knew that his efforts to take the initiative and fight for the right to speak had completely failed at the beginning. Shamelessly, he was once again grasped by a certain immortal.

"You are really amazing!" said Mannahem with some disheartening heart. "Especially your age is not incompatible with your vision. Sometimes, I would talk to me about a wise old man who is over teenager than me!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said lightly: "I just think this is your praise to me!"

Mannaheim shook his head helplessly: "That's right!"

In just a few minutes, Mannaheim and Li Xiaofeng completed their first confrontation, and the result was that a certain immortal had a slight advantage. However, Mannaheim did not surrender, and he immediately launched a second wave of offensive.

He suddenly asked: "What do you think about the future of Russia?"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "You want me to make a prediction again?"

Mannaheim was stunned. His original intention was to let a fairy speak loudly and make it easier for him to find fault in it. How to say the old saying, the more you say, the more you make mistakes, as long as I catch the handle, I immediately rob the initiative. Who knows that a fairy doesn't play according to common sense, and is not like ordinary politicians fooling voters, talking about ideals, blueprints, and a beautiful tomorrow. On the contrary, someone is talking about prophecy.

There is an essential difference between ideals and prophecies. The so-called prophet must be an accurate description of the unknown or the future; while ideals are imagination and longing for the future. The former is conclusive, while the latter is romantic imagination.

Mannaheim's original intention was to let a fairy talk about the latter, that is, the Russian future imagined by a fairy. There are many imaginative components here, and it is easier to pick things up. However, a fairy asked about the prophecy of the future, which means that in the fairy's view, the future has already had its fixed pattern, or he has already had an insight into the entire future.

In this way, Mannaheim's prepared methods would not be possible at all. If Li Xiaofeng was talking about his conception of the future, he could be provoked, but a certain immortal pretended to be a charlatan, and he would make a prediction in plain language.

Well, you can’t pick on prophecy, because you can’t say what’s good or bad about the prophecy, what’s good or bad about the prophecy? Because the only result of the prophecy is right or wrong. However, no matter whether the prophecy is right or wrong, no one can beat the prophecy to death before the result comes out. For example, the Mayans’ terrible end of the world.

In other words, even if Mannaheim disdains his predictions for a certain immortal, he cannot make a final conclusion. Therefore, even if a certain immortal is talking nonsense, he can only pinch his nose and recognize it. After the result comes out, he can only dig a grave or whip the corpse.

This is not what Mannaheim wants, because it means that the initiative he wants is still unresolved, and without the initiative, he will not be able to realize his main purpose, which means failure.

"I didn't let you make a prediction. We are not prophets, and we can't predict anything!" Mannahem said in a very annoying way.

"Who said that no one except the prophet can make accurate predictions?" Li Xiaofeng smiled cunningly, "I have made two prophecies that convince you. If my previous prophecies were not very effective, you wouldn't have come to me, right?"

Mannaheim was speechless. He didn't expect that a certain immortal was waiting for him here. To be honest, Lao Man was very distressed at this moment. He was sent back to the origin again. Now he faced two choices, admitting that a certain immortal had the ability to predict or not. But he didn't like these two choices, why?

It is very simple. Acknowledging the ability of a certain immortal to be a charlatan means that he is at a disadvantage. Then he can only pinch his nose and listen to the prophecy of a certain immortal, and then wait for time to test it. If he does not admit it, then the basis for the conversation between the two parties will no longer exist, and there is no need to continue to talk.

After a while of silence, Mannaheim murmured: "Chambering with you is really a thankless thing!"

Li Xiaofeng shook his head: "Chaking with me is a very relaxing and comfortable thing, but the problem is that you are not here to chat with me at all. This is the main reason why you are extremely confused!"

Mannarheim smiled angrily and asked back, "The reason for saying this is still on me?"

"Of course it's up to you!" Li Xiaofeng said without hesitation, "You are here to ask me for some questions, or there are some questions that you want me to answer. However, you are unwilling to lower your posture and ask me for help. Instead, you want to provoke the answer with a picky attitude. To be honest, this is very unkind!"

Mannahem's face turned red and white after being taught. He wanted to open his mouth several times, but he didn't know what to say. He could only look at Li Xiaofeng in a daze. After a long time of looking at each other, the old man finally lowered his high head and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Spherosky, I sincerely apologize to you for my attitude just now!"

Li Xiaofeng nodded seriously, pretending to be serious and solemn, as if he was a gentleman. In fact, this guy was very happy and really wanted to catch a passerby or a soy sauce crowd watching and shouted: "Did you see it? I was so domineering that I suppressed Mannerheim... Mannerheim!"

Not to mention the dirty little thoughts of a certain immortal, Mannheim sincerely asked for advice: "Mr. Sbelosky, the reason I came to you is because I am confused about the current situation. What will happen to Russia's future? Where is the future of Finland? What should I do?"

Li Xiaofeng shook his head and scolded him seriously: "Are you really stubborn?"

Mannaheim's old face squeezed into a bun, and said angrily: "Sir, I apologized to you just now!"

Li Xiaofeng was still shaking his head: "I also accepted your apology, but this has nothing to do with your obsession. Because you are really obsessed with it!"

Mannaheim's head was dizzy and he said in confusion: "Why am I obsessed with it?"

Li Xiaofeng sighed lightly and said slowly: "You asked me three questions just now. If you really wake up, these are not problems?"

Mannaheim became interested and asked quickly: "What do you mean?"

Li Xiaofeng sat upright and gestured very wisely: "The three questions you asked are actually a problem in essence!"

Mannaheim's voice trembled: "What's the problem?"

Li Xiaofeng tsk: "What you really want to ask is, if this cabinet collapses as quickly as I predicted, can you lobby the next cabinet and give them freedom to Finland... This is the question you want to ask!"

Mannaheim was speechless and was really impressed by Li Xiaofeng. After learning that Milyukov was about to issue a fierce declaration to promote war, he carefully investigated and analyzed and concluded that once the declaration was published, it would arouse anger across Russia. After reaching this conclusion, he thought of the prophecy that a certain immortal had made and initially believed the prophecy.

Of course, as a politician, Mannahem does not care about the prophecy itself, but about the possible consequences after the prophecy is realized. If this government collapses, will the new government and the new cabinet be more enlightened? If so, then public relations should be strengthened and national independence should be achieved in a peaceful way.

The problem is that almost no one can give him an answer to this question. After all, Milukov has not issued that declaration yet. All the ideas are based on imagination. Who dares to say that he is 100% sure of it?

In a very entangled way, Mannheim thought of a certain immortal, the young man who had made the big-eyed prophecy before. In his opinion, this was also the only person who could give him some suggestions.

After hearing Mannaheim's complaints, Li Xiaofeng pointed out bluntly: "Your problems are more than that!"

Mannahem explained repeatedly: "I really have no other meaning!"

Li Xiaofeng sneered at this: "Why didn't you? You were aggressive just now and asked endlessly about the future of Russia. Do you dare to say that you have no intention of picking and questioning me? I just couldn't figure out why a gentleman like you did this, but I figured it out now!"

Mannahem widened his eyes and asked, "What have you figured out?"

Li Xiaofeng laughed and said, "You want to ask me for some opinions, but subconsciously think that the conclusion I may have given is not too wonderful, and may not be what you want, so you question me desperately, hoping that after I stifle your unrealistic delusion, you can give yourself a comfort. I must say that your mentality is really self-deception!" (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
