Chapter 108: Visitors from the Tang Dynasty
He said: "Huni, you have done a good job. If you go back, you will continue to investigate this matter. You must find out the truth."
Kenttanka quickly took advantage of this opportunity to ask for me. She said, "Marquis Huni, if you do this, your Majesty will definitely reuse you."
Then she turned to Constance II, blinked and said, "Yes, your Majesty."
"Well, yes, I will definitely reuse you." Constance II understood what Kenttanka meant. It was the time to use people, so I wanted to give Huni a sweet spot.
In the evening, Huni just returned to the Admiralty Department and was called to the office of Grand Duke Stefan.
Grand Duke Stefan first praised Huni's outstanding performance after entering the Navy, and then said: "Now there is an important task to hand over to you. The fleet that went out to sea to train a few days ago may have a problem. You can lead the team to investigate this matter.
This matter involves the honor of the navy, and I can't believe it. You are new and have no grudges with others. It is most appropriate for you to investigate this matter."
In fact, Huni admired Grand Duke Stefan very much. Despite the requests of Constance II and Kenttanka, he was still very happy with the trust that Grand Duke Stefan showed in himself.
He was also trying to investigate the incident. He hoped to find out the truth and subconsciously hoped that there would be no problems in the Admiralty and to clear the innocence of the Grand Duke Stefan.
He happily accepted the mission.
On the way back to the Grand Duke's residence, Grand Duke Stefan sat in the carriage with a serious expression, thinking about how to face the sudden crisis.
If there is really a problem with the two fleets, it will be difficult for him to explain to the court and the Senate. It will be thousands of lives and nearly a hundred naval warships. Such a huge loss cannot be achieved by just finding an excuse.
Constance II and Kenttanka's fear of him, as well as many princes and ministers who had opinions about him, had long wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of him, but due to the strength of the Grand Duke Stefan, they could not find an opportunity to start.
If the incident is not handled well, Grand Duke Stefan knows that he may be hit by a catastrophe, so he has to deal with it carefully.
Soon after, the carriage arrived at the door of the official residence.
Usually, the carriage would drive directly into the gate and then park at the door of his bedroom, but when he entered the gate, he was stopped.
Grand Duke Stefan heard the guards outside in the carriage asking, "What's the matter?"
Someone said, "Report to the Lord Grand Duke. Today a businessman came to the gate. He said that he would report to the Lord Grand Duke if there is important news."
Hearing this, Grand Duke Stefan felt aroused in his heart. He picked up his cane and lifted the curtain of the car. Seeing that the person talking was an officer on duty, he asked, "Where is the person?"
"Grand Lord, that person has gone. Bei Zhi was not on the scene at that time. I heard from the soldiers on duty that a businessman said that he was sent by your daughter. The soldiers on duty looked at him dressed in plain clothes, unlike the people around your daughter, and thought he was a liar, so they drove him away."
Stefan was furious and shouted, "Damn it! Who made him take his own initiative?!"
He asked, "What happened later?"
The sudden rage of Grand Duke Stefan was startled everyone.
The officer said carefully: "After hearing about this news, Bei Zhi thought he should report it to you. However, that person has never come again."
Grand Duke Stefan already understood that his daughter and son-in-law had fallen into the hands of others. This businessman was sent by the kidnapper. Perhaps he was the kidnapper who came to negotiate terms with him.
He said to the officer: "You have done a good job. You are here in person. If someone comes to me again, bring him to see me immediately."
The officer was praised and said excitedly: "Please rest assured, Mr. Grand Duke, I will guard here personally and will never mislead things."
Grand Duke Stefan nodded, put down the curtain of the carriage, and drove in.
The Great Lord Stefan was extremely angry. He really couldn't figure out who would target him and who could have such great ability to quietly grasp the nearly 100 warships and thousands of troops of the powerful Roman Navy in his hands.
His face was so gloomy that it seemed that he could twist out water.
When he arrived at the door of the bedroom, he got out of the carriage and said to his escort, "Sink that damn soldier into the sea."
It turned out that the person came was Umar. After receiving the handwritten letter from the daughter and son-in-law of the Grand Duke Stefan sent by Li You, he felt that time was already tight, so he decided to go to negotiate with Grand Duke Stefan himself.
Umar was worried that it would attract attention, so he deliberately wore ordinary clothes, but he didn't expect that he was despised by the guards guarding the gate, and the matter was not done.
After he went back, he figured out the whole story, so he changed into a gorgeous costume again and came to the door of the Grand Duke Stefan's official residence again. He looked carefully and found that the guards on duty at the door had been replaced, so he walked towards the gate of the official residence.
The little officer guarding the door of the Grand Duke Stefan's residence stood at the door for a while and realized that his errand was a big trouble. He couldn't figure out when that person would come, and even whether he would come again. If that person didn't come, he wouldn't be able to hold on.
He really hoped that someone would come. Whenever he saw someone passing by this place, he would stare at it. He hoped that the person would come and finish his job quickly.
He was really lucky. It didn't take long before he saw a gorgeously dressed man coming over.
He remembered that the soldier said that the man was a simple dress and obviously he shouldn't be this person, but no matter what, he would ask.
Unexpectedly, the person who came really brought him a surprise.
Umar said, "Please report to Lord Stefan, that I was sent by his daughter, and ask him to see Lord Stefan."
The little officer was overjoyed and said politely: "Please wait a moment, and I will report to the Grand Duke Stefan immediately." After that, he ran into the gate.
Not long after, Umar met Grand Duke Stefan.
When Umar walked into the living room, the Romans were facing a great enemy, and many guards followed him tightly with weapons in their hands.
Umar smiled contemptuously, walked inside, and met Grand Duke Stefan.
Umar was too lazy to salute and asked directly: "Are you the Grand Duke of Stefan?"
The Roman guards behind him saw him so rudely and threatened and shouted in a mess.
Grand Duke Stefan waved his hand and stopped the clamor of the guards.
