Liu Renliang leaned his back against the side of the ship, and accidentally saw the observation post on the mainmast waving flags, and he saw the words "enemy ship found".

When everyone heard Liu Renliang's shout, they all followed him to watch the movements of the observation post.

Soon the Banner Soldier received the signal and shouted loudly: "Lord Commander, the vanguard fleet reports that a fleet of about 15 ships has been found ahead, including merchant ships, of unknown origin. ”

Liu Renliang asked, "Lord Wang, what do you mean?" ”

Li You said: "Since you have met, let's stay." ”

Liu Renliang understood what he meant, as long as someone saw the Tang Army's warship, they couldn't let the news leak out.

He personally climbed the mast and gave an order to the front fleet, specifically emphasizing that not a single person should be missed.

Three hours later, news came from the front: the enemy's fleet had been encircled, including 12 warships, 4 merchant ships, and several Roman nobles, and they were being sent over.

In the evening, four merchant ships loaded with belongings arrived in front, as well as several high-ranking naval officers and their dependents.

White Tiger and Qualcomm and others immediately interrogated them.

After dinner, Li You and Liu Renliang were drinking tea and chatting, Liu Renliang said with some concern: "Lord Wang, the wind in the Mediterranean Sea is too light, and today our warship hung up full sails, and we barely caught up with the Roman warship. It is said that the sea area ahead is basically windless for many days, which is very unfavorable to the actions of our warships.

The Romans' warships were small, and in addition to sails, they were equipped with a large number of oarsmen, making it easy to move. The minister was very worried that if he encountered the Romans and encountered windless weather, our army would be beaten passively. ”

Li You smiled and said confidently: "Don't worry, the kind of situation you said will not be encountered." ”

With experience, Liu Renliang felt that what the prince said was a bit mysterious, but the magic of the prince was undoubted, and he chose to believe it.

Li You dared to say such a thing, naturally he had his support. As time passed, he became more aware of the functions of the science library he owned. As long as the basic meteorological data can be input into the system, the weather can be accurately forecasted.

At that time, Li You didn't know that the system had such a function, otherwise, the sensational begging for rain would not have been so strenuous, and it almost took Li Chunfeng's life.

At this time, Baihu and Gao Tong came in happily and said, "Lord Wang, I caught a nest of big fish." ”

Relying on the superiority of the sea, the Roman navy often concealed from the imperial court, sending fleets to plunder everywhere, and the looted goods were divided among the navy.

The Roman fleet was to escort the belongings and the families of several high-ranking officers, including the daughter and son-in-law of the Roman naval commander Archduke Stefan.

Liu Renliang smiled: "It's really a few big fish." ”

Li You also smiled: "It's really an unexpected joy, it will save trouble now, and there is no need to send a commando team to take risks to rescue." ”

He said to the white tiger: "You go and tell the magpie, send this news to Umar, and find an opportunity to exchange Wang Huili and the others." ”

Liu Renliang asked, "What about the other captured Romans and warships?" ”

Li You said: "The captured property was sent back to Chang'an, and all the captured warships were brought with them, which may be useful in the future." Captured Romans, give them to Pedilan. ”

Liu Renliang said: "Yes, Lord Wang, the minister will arrange it in a while." ”

Constantinople.

Umar and the others had already received the news that Wang Huili and the others had been taken away by the Roman navy, and they couldn't find out where they were being held for a while.

When they were in trouble, they received a telegram from Li You, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately asked someone from the Persian trading company to secretly deliver the news to Archduke Stefan.

After Wang Huili and the second cabinet were taken away that day, they were hooded all the way, walked for a long time, took a carriage, and even took a boat, and finally were taken to a manor. In the dead of night, I could hear the sound of waves outside, and it felt like I might be on an island.

They were arraigned twice, and among those involved were naval officers, and the presiding judge was an assistant to the judicial officer of the military Tancienburg City Hall, who told Wang Huili and others that the mayor, the Marquis Marquis Martel, wanted to harm them, and demanded that they come forward to correct the tax collector and the Marquis Marquis Martel, saying that when the matter was resolved, they would be given justice.

Wang Huili and the second cabinet believed what they said, but they didn't believe in their so-called justice, knowing that they were just using themselves to attack Marquis Marquis Marquis and others, and they would never care about the life or death of Wang Huili and others.

Wang Huili and the others were used up, even if they were not exterminated, offending Marquis Marquis Martre and others would be a dead end. I am afraid that the day they will be released from prison will be their death.

The only thing Wang Huili and the others could count on was that the prince sent someone to rescue him.

I don't know why, they have never been arranged to testify in court.

It turned out that Constans II and Kent Tanka also wanted to use the Marquis Marquis Martel against Archduke Stefan, and they felt that the evidence in Stefan's hands was not favorable to the Marquis Marquis Marcel, so they kept delaying and agreed to the Senate to hold a hearing to create time for the Marquis Marquis Marcel to destroy the evidence.

The last time the murder of the king failed to deal with them, the Marquis Martel did everything possible to inquire about their whereabouts, as the mayor of Constantinople, he had a wide range of resources, and finally found out that the king would take care of them, and was planning a new murder of them.

Umar and others have also inquired through their connections that Wang Huili and others were taken away by the navy, but there is no exact news on the specific location of their detention.

At this moment, they received a telegram from Li You, and their hearts suddenly felt much lighter.

Umar has been by Li You's side for a long time, and his attitude towards handling things has been influenced by his ears and eyes, and he has also developed a serious attitude of careful study in case of trouble.

He carefully analysed the matter and decided that it would be difficult to win the trust of the Roman navy by speaking with his own mouth.

So he sent a telegram to Li You, hoping that they could send someone to send a handwritten letter from the relatives of the arrested officials, or some other physical evidence.

Li You called back and replied to them, saying that he would send someone to send them the relevant evidence.

Huney has been working in the Admiralty for some time.

He had a vague sense that the senior officers were hiding something from him.

It's no wonder that the secrets of Stefan and the others who shared the spoils would definitely not be told to newcomers like Huni.

Now that Huney has accepted Kent Tanka's commission, he is more deliberately paying attention to the movements of Archduke Stefan and others.

On this day, he noticed that the atmosphere in the Admiralty was somewhat unusual. The senior officers were secretive, and the main generals among them were called to the office of the Grand Duke of Stefan, and seemed to be discussing something in secret.
