"This is?" Sizing Taylor up and down, Searle narrowed his eyes slightly.
Birgan coughed dryly and solemnly introduced, "This is Mr. Taylor, my good friend. He is the boss of the Golden Sail Chamber of Commerce, and the three merchant ships that were taken away are his. Oh, I forgot to introduce him. This is Sir Searle, a big shot from the capital. Mr. Taylor, I'm afraid Sir Searle will have to think of a way to deal with the robbery of your merchant ship. "
Birgan was happy to kick this matter to Searle. What a joke, how could he deal with a bandit who could cause such a big scene? How could Searle not know Birgan's little scheme, and he would not expose it. When he looked at Taylor again, there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes.
The Golden Sail Chamber of Commerce, the big merchant, the robbed merchant ship. When these things were linked together, Taylor became suspicious in his eyes. He only hated that the vulture planted beside Julian did not report back on the other party's actions in time, and there was no new news after arriving at Tiger Shark Harbor, so Searle did not know who was here to receive Julian and the others. Now that Taylor had jumped out, it was inevitable that he would be suspicious.
But without concrete evidence, Searle did not want to make things difficult for Taylor. On one hand, to avoid alerting the enemy, the plan to intercept Julian was not just to close the dock. On the Santa Trina Sea, there was also a naval fleet waiting for them. If Taylor was really Julian's man, rashly touching him would probably make the other party more vigilant. Secondly, most merchants like this had a wide circle of friends. Taylor was related to Count Birgan, and God knew if there were any other big shots behind him. If this had nothing to do with Taylor and instead offended some big shots, then he would cause trouble for himself for no reason.
In a moment, he already had a plan. He could only investigate Taylor in secret and could not make a big deal out of it. But compared to Taylor, tracking the three merchant ships was more important. Searle casually asked a few questions. For example, what was the cargo on the ship, where it was going, who was the buyer, and so on. These questions could not be asked casually. If Taylor's answers were different from what he had investigated, then there must be something wrong with the boss of the Chamber of Commerce. Taylor, on the other hand, answered smoothly. Then, she held Searle's hand and walked to the side, saying, "Sir, the cost of these goods is not cheap. If you can help me recover them, I will definitely reward you handsomely."
Using his body as a cover, Taylor stuffed something into Searle's pocket and patted it as a gesture. "I'll leave everything to you, sir."
After he left, Searle secretly took out the item. So it was Zhang Chujin? Arc R Huang Brothel Neon? The scabbard blade swayed happily? Staring at him in a hurry? Retraction? Qian? Steady? Invading Huang Qin Dike Glue???? Ji Chengshao asking Hana Xixi? Nether Shell Scar Xiao Zhan Naozhong Form? Chunchu? Grasses on the ground? Si Jing retreats? The Imperial Judge is indolent
Of course, Searle trusted information more than his own instincts.
As the ship sailed on the sea, the blue waves gradually moved.
The ship rose and fell with the waves. The brilliant sunlight penetrated the thin clouds and fell on the surface of the sea, reflecting thousands of bright lights, like hundreds of diamonds sparkling at the same time. On the bow deck, a few wine glasses clinked together, making a few crisp sounds. Julian's handsome face was flushed because of the strong alcohol, but His Royal Highness was very excited. He patted Edward's arm cheerfully and said, "Thanks to your brilliant plan, we were able to reverse the situation and take the initiative. And I have to say, Edward's idea was brilliant! "
Solin sighed sincerely. "Your Highness is right. I don't think those vultures would have thought that we would snatch the ship so openly, leaving the port ahead of time and disassociating ourselves with Mr. Taylor."
"What's even better is that Captain Jett took some of us to hide in the cargo boxes and get on board first, solving the problem of our target being too large. We can also get the captain and sailors in place ahead of time so that the ship can be ready to travel." Julian shook his head and sighed, "The whole plan is meticulous and efficient. Allen, even I'm jealous that you have such a good helper. "
"No matter how jealous Your Highness is, don't expect me to give Edward to you." Allen said.
The few of them burst into laughter again.
Allen coughed softly and said, "However, although we have passed the dock, the danger has not passed. Don't forget that we still have a lurking vulture beside us, and Diego said that there is a naval fleet waiting for us at sea. "
With the plan to seize the ship at the dock, Julian seemed to be very confident in Edward. He took a sip of liquor and said, "I believe Edward has a plan."
Edward laughed and said, "Let's let Lord Allen talk about it. We've already discussed the details, and there shouldn't be any problems in general. It's better for me to look stupid at this time, lest Lord Allen thinks I'm an eyesore and kicks me away. Then I'll lose my job. "
Allen raised his hand and patted his forehead. "This guy must want to jump ship to His Highness's side to say that about me."
Julian spread out his hands and said, "If he does, I'm happy to accept such a talent."
"Alright, Your Highness, and gentlemen, let's stop here for entertainment. Let's get down to business." Allen put down his glass and said, "I've discussed the spies and the navy with Edward. We can't continue our itinerary. We have to abandon the ship at the next port and change to the land route. "
Julian was puzzled. "I can understand that we have to charge the ship and land at the next port to avoid the naval fleet's net. But what does this have to do with the spy? Isn't it easier to find him at sea? After all, he has nowhere to hide here. There's really no better opportunity to find the spy, right? I'm still wondering if we should deliberately leak false information and let Vulture spread the information. At that time, as long as we closely monitor the movements of everyone on the ship, we should be able to catch some clues, right? "
Allen glanced at Edward, and the two laughed. Edward replied, "This is the result that Lord Allen and I came to after repeated discussions. Please think about it, Your Highness. If you were Vulture, would you still take the risk to transmit information in an environment where it's easy to expose your identity on a ship? So we have to go by land. The situation on land is complicated, and Vulture will think that there's an opportunity. Only when he lets down his guard will we have a chance to find him. "
When Julian heard this, he said, "I see."
They then discussed the specific details of the plan. At noon, the captain told them that lunch was ready, and they left.
In the evening, the merchant ship was anchored in a sheltered bay. The waves gently lapped against the ship, and the setting sun in the distance dyed the sky and sea orange. It was like a bold and bright color used by a famous writer, silently interpreting the beauty of dusk. There were constant cries of seabirds on the ship, and from time to time, a few seabirds would land on the mast before rushing up again. Allen and the others enjoyed the beautiful scenery on the deck and talked about the future from time to time, all of them full of confidence for the future.
Seabirds were flying on the ship, so the addition of a white messenger crow did not attract much attention. After the messenger crow circled around the flock of birds, it separated from the flock and flew towards the south. Not long after, it disappeared into the sky.
In a harbor hundreds of nautical miles away from the merchant ship, there was a row of neatly arranged warships. On the deck of one of the warships, although night had fallen, it was still brightly lit. The navy soldiers on the ship lit a row of lanterns, illuminating the deck. Under the lights, a tall man with bronze skin stood in the middle of the deck. He had deep facial features under his gray curly hair and a pair of grayish-blue eyes with a sharp gaze. Two thin lips were tightly pursed under the firm bridge of his nose. He stood perfectly straight, allowing the ship to rise and fall with the waves, but he did not waver in the slightest. His entire person gave off an exceptionally strong and domineering feeling.
The man raised his abnormally thick palm, waved, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Come."
Opposite him were three shirtless men, all of them with scars on their bodies. Every scar was a strange medal for them. These three people's eyes were sinister, and one could tell at a glance that they were not ordinary characters. After exchanging glances, they dispersed and then exerted force at the same time, each using their own killing moves to attack the man in the middle.
The bronze-skinned man's lips curled up, forming a cold smile. He squatted down and hugged the air with both hands. Then, he spread out with a loud shout, erupting a powerful wave of air, causing the three people surrounding him to sway. The man took the opportunity to flash out, and with an elbow strike, a kick, and a headbutt, he sent the three people flying.
The three fell to the ground and cried out in pain. The man shook his head. "Again."
At this moment, a soldier ran onto the deck and shouted, "General Soro, we just received news from Vulture about Prince Julian."
The man named Soro said, "Oh," and made a gesture. "Read it."
"Yes." The soldier stood perfectly straight, spread out a small note, and read, "Julian and his party will go to Port Red Leaf tomorrow and prepare to board."
"Want to go by land?" Solo laughed. "You're really smart, Your Highness. But it seems that they've also gotten the news that we're waiting for them above Santa Trina."
"General, what about us?"
"How far is Port Red Leaf from here?"
"Two hours."
Soro nodded. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's set sail now. I can't help but want to see how wonderful their expressions will be when they arrive at the shore tomorrow and find themselves surrounded by us. Oh, by the way, remember to take down all the flags and signs when you arrive at Port Red Leaf. Don't scare His Highness Julian too early. "
A moment later, a fleet left the harbor and sailed in the direction of Port Red Leaf under the cover of the night.
The night was uneventful. The next day, Soro got up early. He had people move a large chair to the deck of the ship, and then sat on the ship, overlooking the dock of Port Red Leaf. It was still early, and the dock was very quiet, with only the chirping of seabirds sounding from time to time. Soro was not in a hurry. He waited patiently and constantly simulated the detailed plan to capture Julian in his mind until he thought it was perfect.
