He said: "Huni, you have done a good job, you will continue to investigate this matter after you go back, and you must find out." ”

Kent Tanka hurriedly took advantage of this opportunity to ask for credit for Huni. She said, "Marquis Huni, if you do this well, Your Majesty will definitely use you again." ”

Then she turned to Constans II, blinked, and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

"Well, yes, will definitely reuse you." Constans II understood what Kent Tanka meant, and at this moment, it was the time to employ people, and he wanted to give Huni a sweetness.

In the evening, as soon as Huney returned to the Admiralty, he was called to the office of Grand Duke Stefan.

Archduke Stefan first praised Huney for his outstanding performance after entering the Admiralty, and then said: "Now there is an important task to be entrusted to you. There may be something wrong with the fleet that went out to sea for training a few days ago, and you should lead the team to investigate this matter.

This matter involves the honor of the navy, and I can't believe others. You're new here, and you don't have a grudge against anyone else, so it's best for you to investigate this matter. ”

In fact, Huni admired Archduke Stefan very much, and despite the demands of Constants II and Kent Tanka, he was still very happy with the trust that Archduke Stefan showed in him.

He also wanted to investigate the incident, he wanted to find out the truth, and subconsciously hoped that there would be no problems with the Admiralty and that Archduke Stefan would be cleared.

He happily accepted the assignment.

On the way back to the Grand Duke's residence, Grand Duke Stefan sat in the carriage with a solemn face, thinking about how to face the sudden crisis.

If there was really a problem with the two fleets, it would be difficult for him to explain to the imperial court and the senate, it was thousands of lives and nearly a hundred naval warships, such a big loss, it was not just an excuse to be able to prevaricate.

The jealousy of Constance II and Kent Tanka against him, as well as many princely ministers who had opinions about him, had long wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of him, but due to the strength of Archduke Stefan, they couldn't find a chance to do it.

If this incident is not handled well, Grand Duke Stefan knows that he is afraid that he will be destroyed, and he has to deal with it carefully.

Soon after, the carriage arrived at the door of the residence.

Normally, the carriage would drive directly into the gate and stop at the door of his dormitory, but when he entered the gate, he was stopped.

Grand Duke Stefan was in the carriage when he heard the guards outside ask, "What's the matter?" ”

Someone said, "Greetings to Your Excellency, a merchant has come to the gate today, and he says that he has important news to report to His Excellency." ”

Hearing this, Grand Duke Stefan's heart moved, he picked up his cane, lifted the curtain of the car, and saw that it was an officer on duty who was speaking, and he asked, "What about people?" ”

"Your Excellency, that man has already left, and he was not at the scene at that time, and I heard from the soldier on duty at that time that a merchant said that he was sent by your daughter, and the soldier on duty looked at him dressed ordinarily, not like the person next to your daughter, and thought that he was a liar, so they drove him away."

Stefan was furious and shouted, "Damn it! Who let him do it for himself?! ”

"And then?" he asked. ”

Archduke Stefan's sudden outburst startled everyone.

The officer said cautiously: "After hearing the news, I feel that I should report it to you. But that person never came back. ”

Grand Duke Stefan had already understood that his daughter and son-in-law had fallen into the hands of someone else, and that this merchant had been sent by the kidnappers, and perhaps he was the kidnapper's who had come to negotiate terms with him.

He said to the officer: "You are doing a good job. You are here yourself, and if anyone comes to me again, bring him to me at once. ”

The officer was praised and said excitedly: "Your Excellency, please rest assured, the lowly will personally guard here, and will never make a mistake." ”

Grand Duke Stefan nodded, lowered the curtain, and the carriage drove in.

Grand Duke Stefan was furious, he really couldn't figure out who would target him, and who could have such great ability to quietly grasp nearly a hundred warships and thousands of men and horses of the powerful Roman navy.

His face was so gloomy that he seemed to be able to wring out water.

When he reached the door of the dormitory, he got out of the carriage and said to the guards with him, "Sink that damned soldier into the sea for me." ”

It turned out that it was Umar. After he received the handwritten letters from the daughter and son-in-law of Grand Duke Stefan sent by Li You, he felt that time was already very tight, so he decided to negotiate with Grand Duke Stefan in person.

Umar was worried that he would attract attention, so he deliberately wore ordinary clothes, but he didn't expect to be slighted by the guards guarding the door, and the matter was not done.

After he returned, he figured out what had happened, so he changed into a gorgeous costume again, and came to the door of the Grand Duke Stefan's mansion again, and he looked carefully, and found that the guards on duty at the door had changed, so he walked towards the gate of the mansion.

The little officer who was guarding the door of Grand Duke Stefan's mansion stood at the door for a while before he realized that his errand was a big problem, and he couldn't figure out when the man would come, or even if he would come again, and if the man didn't come, he couldn't hold on.

He really wanted someone to come, and whenever he saw someone passing by this place, he kept an eye on it, hoping that the person would come, and end his errand quickly.

He was really lucky, and it didn't take long for him to see a gorgeously dressed man approach.

He remembered the soldier saying that the man was a plainly dressed man, and that it was clearly not supposed to be this person, but he was going to ask anyway.

Unexpectedly, the person who came really surprised him.

Umar said, "Please report to His Excellency Archduke Stefan, I have been sent by his daughter to see His Excellency Archduke Stefan." ”

The little officer was overjoyed and said politely: "Please wait a moment, I will go to report to His Excellency Grand Duke Stefan at once." With that, he pulled his legs and ran into the gate.

Soon after, Umar met with Grand Duke Stefan.

When Umar walked into the drawing-room, the Romans were on the verge of a great enemy, and many of the guards followed him closely with weapons in hand.

Umar smiled contemptuously and walked inside, meeting Grand Duke Stefan.

Umar didn't bother to salute, and asked directly, "You are Grand Duke Stefan?" ”

The Roman guards behind him, seeing him so rude, shouted and threatened.

Grand Duke Stefan waved his hand to stop the shouting of the guards.

He asked, "Who are you?" Where are my daughter and son-in-law? ”
