Li You said: "Don't worry about your family's affairs, I will send a telegram to my third brother and ask him to take care of your family." When this war is over, on the way back to Chang'an, you can go home and reunite with your family. ”

"Well, lord, that's not what the slave meant. Slave maid, slave maid is willing to stay with the prince. ”

Bunty was a little flustered and said incoherently. Later, the voice gradually became quieter.

She was homesick and missed her parents, but she felt an unprecedented pleasant experience by Li You's side, and she was extremely reluctant to leave Li You.

However, her current identity is just a slave, and some wishes are just to think about it, but she doesn't know how Li You will arrange her future.

At this moment, when she heard that Li You asked her to go home, her feelings were very complicated and she felt slightly disappointed.

Li You is a person who has come over, and he can guess the mind of a little girl, he said: "Okay, when the time comes, everything is up to you." ”

"Lord Wang, you are so good to Bandi." Bandi burst into tears and laughed, and said heartily.

At this time, the magpie came and sent a telegram from Pedilan.

The reason why Pedilan did not reply to the telegram immediately was because the elders were still a little worried about the decision to go to war against the Romans, mainly because they were worried about the powerful navy of the Romans, and they were worried about whether Pedillan's military talents would be able to be the commander of a large army.

In this case, the caliph was also a little hesitant, fearing that Pediran was inexperienced, and if he suffered a defeat, it would greatly affect his future. Therefore, he did not make up his mind at the end.

After receiving the telegram from Li You, Pei Dilan reported the contents of the telegram to the caliph and informed the elders of the contents of the telegram.

Seeing that the Tang army and navy were so powerful, with such strong reinforcements, the elders no longer had any opinions, and the caliph finally made up his mind and decided to launch a war against the Romans on the first day of the next month, that is, 12 days later.

Li You sent a telegram to Umar, informing him of the relevant situation, and asking him to try to rescue Wang Huili and the others before the Great Cannibals launched a war.

After receiving the telegram, Umar immediately called Li You back, saying that they had not yet received the relevant materials sent by Li You, and Li You immediately called him back, telling him that according to the time calculation, those people would arrive in Constantinople within a day or two.

Li You asked Umar to establish a channel of communication with the Roman naval commander, Archduke Stefan.

In the past few days, the Roman Admiralty has been in a panic.

The mysterious disappearance of the two fleets in quick succession made the always calm Grand Duke Stefan unable to sit still.

That afternoon, he urgently summoned his close generals in the navy to discuss countermeasures.

Grand Duke Stefan and others shared various possibilities, and still could not come to an accurate conclusion, but they had to figure out the truth of the matter.

Some generals suggested that some soldiers should be sent to disguise themselves as fishermen or ordinary businessmen to investigate the area where the accident occurred.

Some generals suggested that the fleet be sent to the relevant sea area again, but this time the fleet sent would keep the distance between each warship within the sight, and even if there was an accident, it would not cause major losses, so that it would be possible to find out what was going on, and if it was an enemy, it would be possible to know where they came from.

Grand Duke Stefan was more inclined to the latter opinion, he was not a superstitious person, and he thought that the most likely thing about this matter was man-made, and if it was man-made, the merchants or fishermen sent would also be detained by the other party.

The second method is more secure, no matter how strong the enemy is, it is impossible to annihilate all the warships lined up in a long snake formation.

In order to avoid further heavy losses, he decided to dispatch only some of the larger warships, carrying a large number of sampans, and after arriving at the accident area, each sampan sent a small number of soldiers to carry out a search, in case of repeated accidents, it would not cause heavy losses.

Everyone agreed with this opinion, and the matter was basically settled, and Grand Duke Stefan asked everyone again to see if there was anything else to add.

A general said: "Your Excellency, the recent incident began with our transportation of supplies, if not, the overseas looting should be suspended for a while." ”

Grand Duke Stefan nodded in agreement.

Just as they were about to dismiss, one of Archduke Stefan's cronies came in and whispered in his ear.

Grand Duke Stefan said angrily: "Sure enough, that guy Huney is a spy. ”

In the upper echelons of the Roman navy, there was an interest group headed by Archduke Stefan. Every new entrant to the Naval High Command is subject to their strict secret surveillance.

When Huney first arrived at the Admiralty, he was not instructed by Kent Tanka, so he behaved quite normally.

However, after he was instructed by Kent Tanka to secretly collect materials about Archduke Stefan, his behavior began to appear impatient, and he was exposed, and Archduke Stefan adopted stricter surveillance methods against him, and arranged for some people to pretend to be close to him, so that they could better grasp his movements.

These recent major incidents in the Admiralty cannot be covered up in a tight veil.

Huney could now tell that there was something wrong with the fleet of 70 warships that had just set out not long ago.

Although he still doesn't know exactly what happened here, he believes that such a major incident should be reported to Kent Tanka.

So, he went to the palace and asked to see Kent Tanka.

All of these actions fell into the eyes of those sent to spy on him.

Grand Duke Stefan informed his close generals about Huni, and the generals were furious and clamored for Huni to be eliminated.

One of the generals suggested, "Your Excellency, aren't we going to send a fleet to search for it again, and let Huni go with you?" ”

Another general understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "Huni is a very brave man, he accidentally fell into the water and died in the line of duty, and the Admiralty will ask His Majesty to reward him for his heroic deeds." ”

"Hahahaha!" The generals let out a smug laugh.

Grand Duke Stefan nodded and said, "Yes, Huney is an excellent admiral, and the Admiralty will set him up as a role model." ”

Palace.

Kent Tanka listened to Huney's report and felt that the situation he reflected was important. So she took Huney with her to report to Constans II.

Constans II was furious when he heard that Archduke Stefan was suspected of using the power of the navy to loot overseas and divide it among the navy.

When he heard the news that two fleets in the navy had disappeared one after another, he felt that he had seized the handle of Grand Duke Stefan, and decided to take this opportunity to bring down Grand Duke Stefan.
