After a night of sailing, Li Zhe finally arrived in the Gulf of Siam, and at the same time, the search ships of the Imperial Nanyang Fleet also discovered the patrol ship detachment of the Tianzhu Fleet and the Borneo Zhenhai Fleet, which was closely behind.

As soon as the Zhenhai Fleet in Borneo encountered the Imperial Nanyang Fleet, it immediately stopped the pursuit.

Bai Changling looked at the back of the Tianzhu fleet from afar, just a little, a little bit! Unexpectedly, he almost completed the task assigned to him by His Highness, but everything came to an abrupt end here.

It's all over! It's all over.

The mission was a complete failure.

He didn't dare to imagine how much turmoil would be caused by being escaped by the Tianzhu people, the only thing he was sure of was that the consequences were definitely not something he could bear

……………………………………

Surrounded by the Nanyang Fleet, Li Zhe hurried to Cam Ranh Bay, the garrison of the Nanyang Fleet, and finally became safe, and all the people in the fleet were properly received in the base. The people of the Imperial Nanyang Fleet were very enthusiastic, and the Tianzhu people, who had just been attacked by an unwarranted attack on the sea, were extremely grateful.

As soon as Li Zhe arrived at the base, he immediately found Su Chen, the commander of the fleet, this is a person who looks a little introverted, with a pair of slender eyes that looks particularly like a Confucian general, Li Zhe said to Su Chen:

"Thank you, Commander."

Su Chen waved his hand again and again,

"Don't dare, don't dare, a noble person like the governor has his own auspicious nature, and he can't do it easily."

Li Zhe's current official position is the Metropolitan Governor of Tianzhu, and his status is extremely high, even if he is placed within the Celestial Empire, he is definitely a high position. Far higher than Su Chen's mere leader, the two of them shirked a few words.

Li Zhe said his true intention,

"It's just that we need the Commander's help again."

"Governor, please."

"Please also borrow the flying pigeons from your place and send our news back as soon as possible."

As soon as Li Zhe said this, he could immediately feel that there was something wrong with Su Chen's expression on the other side.

"This, to be honest, without the order from above, the next little commander will not dare to let the governor borrow it."

"What?"

Li Zhe is a little inexplicable, hey, no, not really!

"I'm not asking you to call your boss for me, I'm just borrowing your communication channel to pass the news on to our own people?"

Su Chen looked at Li Zhe with a sad face,

"Governor, there's no way, the order from above is like this, I don't dare to disobey the order from above!"

What does this mean, Li Zhe really doesn't understand, is there anything in this base that needs to be kept secret from his side? Li Zhe suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Li Zhe went out this time, originally thinking that all the way through the hinterland of the Celestial Empire, there should be no inconvenience, after all, his current identity is not what it used to be, whether it is the Celestial Empire or the vassal king, he must consider the attitude of Tianzhu behind him.

Who would have thought that things were so unusual, first he was raided by the subordinate fleet of His Royal Highness King Ning, who was also a vassal of the Celestial Empire, and then he finally thought it was safe and came to the naval base of the Celestial Empire, and the officers in the base were not even willing to pass on the communication for him.

That's not right!

With his current status, not to mention in the naval base, he went to Jinling and met His Majesty the Emperor of the Celestial Empire, and that His Majesty would not let him pass on a letter.

Li Zhe was a little worried in his heart, thought about it, and continued to test forward,

"Since it doesn't work in the base, then I need to go out and help spread the word to the news agency outside?"

In the Great Song Dynasty, in addition to the official local governments and garrison units, some privately run newspapers also raised flying pigeons and paid communication services.

The naval commander named Su Chen said:

"Well, you don't need this! The Governor was suddenly attacked, and his mind must be tired, so from the point of view, it is better for the Governor to rest in the base for a few days, and then think about these things after they have recovered their spirits? ”

What the? As soon as these words came out, Li Zhe's heart sank, just out of the wolf's mouth, and into the tiger's den, this is a Nanyang Fleet naval division base, this is the rhythm of house arrest for all their Tianzhu envoys?

Why?

Li Zhe figured it out in his heart, and couldn't figure out the intention behind this move.

With the courage of this little sailor, he would never dare to put his group under house arrest here, and the reason why this guy dared to do this must be to obey the instructions of their superiors.

In other words, it was an instruction from some of the upper echelons of the Celestial Empire.

Who the hell would dare to treat him like this to a metropolitan governor.

Could it be that someone wants to use troops against Tianzhu?

This unbelievable inference flashed through Li Zhe's mind like lightning.

He couldn't help but think so.

First of all, the sailors of the Ning Wang Domain directly attacked their fleet and fought a large-scale naval battle, and when they arrived here in the Celestial Empire, it seemed that they did not mean to kill them, and the hospitality was polite, but in this way, they were put under house arrest?

This makes one wonder about the motives of both parties.

He Li Zhe is not arrogant, he is definitely the number one person in the current Tianzhu, and he has a good influence in both the military and political fields.

If he Li Zhe folds here, he will definitely hurt Tianzhu's vitality, and if a certain party wants to deal with Tianzhu by dealing with him, it is not impossible to have this possibility.

Li Zhe thought of this, and became more and more careful.

He didn't know that Su Chen, the imperial commander opposite him, couldn't hear the thoughts in his heart, if he could hear it, he would definitely scoff, I said, this Lord Dudu, your old man is too narcissistic!

In fact, as far as Su Chen knew, the Celestial Empire didn't want to use troops against Tianzhu at all, unless His Majesty the Emperor was stupid, Li Zhe took himself very seriously, of course, he was indeed extraordinary, but His Majesty the Emperor couldn't use troops against Tianzhu because of him, even if he knew that he was a stranger.

His Majesty the Emperor is the Emperor after all, and his head is not so mixed. He doesn't think that Li Zhe alone is so important, to be honest, although he is the descendant of Emperor Wuzong, but he is not too superstitious about the legends left by Wuzong, as an emperor, he deeply understands that from the level of a country, personal power is insignificant.

What a foolish emperor would do to go to war against a subject for the sake of one man.

In fact, the reason why the Celestial Empire wants to restrict Li Zhe and the others is not because they want to be placed under house arrest, the Tianzhu fleet was attacked, such a major event, the matter was hasty, and the news was far from reaching Jinling, the first reaction of the local officials and garrison generals of Annan Province who were already aware of the Celestial Empire was to do their best to block the news, and they still wanted to save this possible big battle between Tianzhu and Ning Wangfan!
