"You can rest assured that we have already had a solution to this."

"What have you been discussing just now? It's mysterious?" At this moment, a pleasant voice came from behind. Justinian subconsciously turned around and saw a slender and cashmere robe standing behind Justinian at some point.

And this scene couldn't help but startle Justinian. Who is the person in front of him who is not Andrea Doria? But he should have been locked under the ship, how could he suddenly appear here!

Justinian was subconsciously surprised, but when he calmed down and saw clearly the boy standing in front of him, he immediately burst into laughter. The person standing in front of him was not someone else, but Antonia who had changed into men's clothes. Unexpectedly, in a while, Antonia, who was still on the deck just now, had already dressed up at some point.

"Scarefully." Antonia proudly raised her chest, tied up her long blonde hair and hid it in her hat, put it on the cloak handed over by Christopher, and was like a heroic and beautiful boy. If someone had first met, I'd probably no one could find anything wrong at the first time. I have to say that Antonia's disguise skills are really clever, and it's no wonder she was completely kept in the dark when she first met.

"I have to admit that it really scared me. I didn't recognize it at first sight just now." Although it was not the first time I met, Justinian still had to say that the brother and sister Antonia and Andrea were really similar. Not only were they simple appearances, but even every move seemed to be carved out of the same mold at this moment.

"Hehe, is that? I'm still a little dissatisfied. However, although the materials prepared are not enough, since you can deceive you, it should be enough to deal with it." The Genoa girl nodded with satisfaction with her waist. Although she looked simple on her body, she still had to spend a lot of effort on makeup to truly hide from other Genoese people on the ship. However, she had to deal with the materials she had temporarily in her hand for a while.

"I just want to say that... You are so skillful that I can't help but feel a little sympathetic to your brother." Justinian pinched his nose and said, thinking that Antonia's familiarity with Andrea would only cause more or less trouble. No wonder the other party tried every means to bring her back.

Antonia, who understood the meaning of Justinian's words, glanced and said, "Hmph, if not, I would probably be locked in Genoa for the rest of my life, let alone how to help you pass through here safely. Remember this lady's great kindness!"

"Okay, okay, I must remember it in my heart." Although he was bickering with the Genoese girl beside him, Justinian's eyes never left the iron chain that blocked the Golden Horn Bay and the warships that were getting closer and closer to the Genoese Venetians. He glanced at Christopher, and Justinian restrained his darkness and said, "Who said that, is this really safe? Galata should have an acquaintance who knows Andrea, right?"

"As far as I know, there are only some small characters stationed here. There are not many chances to go back to Genoa a year. Even if you have seen Andrea, you won't be very familiar with them. Antonia's posing looks are enough to deal with them. After all, when Antonia and Andrea were children, they would not be able to tell who they were. Unless they were people who were with the past, others would not be able to tell them if they were willing." Christopher said with a little desolate tone. Although he said casually, the old man's words still stirred up some bad memories of the past, which made Antonia's face add a look of loneliness at this moment.

And this is obviously some other bad past events. Justinian naturally tactfully did not continue the topic. However, Antonia wanted to disguise herself as her brother to deceive the Genoese in Galata to pass through Constantinople. But is this really safe? Justinian couldn't help but ask a question mark in his heart.

Although such an adventure is indeed worth a try, except for the soft outline of the girl between the eyebrows and eyes that covers the sharpness of the real Andrea, it is simply perfect. I think it is easy to fool those Galata people. It is naturally better to be able to defend them without bloodshed.

But it would be easy to talk about it if it was really so simple. Justinian, who was originally calm, could not help but murmur, "Even if he deceived the people of Galata, the Venetians would probably not give up so easily! Don't forget that Peter X was still on this ship, would those people really give up easily?" Although they encountered the Venetian fleet on the sea, they were still in great spirits, and they had probably returned to Constantinople at this moment. Justinian really didn't think that Peter X, who knew the Archbishop of Constantinople, would be indifferent, and even if he fought against the Genoese, he would probably make some moves. In this case, once the situation was out of control, the Latins in Constantinople were naturally caught in and the consequences would be unimaginable. Before sufficient preparation, Justinian had not faced the confidence of Flander's Henry.

Christopher shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry about this. Now in Constantinople, all the forces are complicated, and the Venetians dare not act rashly, let alone they are not a solid piece of iron."

"Is that true...but I don't think the Venetians will really react no." Justinian was not relieved of Christopher's confidence. He looked at Constantinople, which was close to him and said in a deep voice.

The one-eyed old man hugged his hands and said, "It is certainly impossible to say that there is no reaction at all, but it is unlikely that the Venetians will openly tear their faces here. Even if they do something, they will only be in the dark, and not at this time and here. They do not want the Patriarch of Constantinople to return to the hands of the Greeks, but they are also unwilling to let them fall into the hands of the French in Constantinople. The real threat is not this Golden Horn Bay, but behind this sea wall!" The deep eyes fell on the dome of the high Hagia Sophia Cathedral, and the morning sun also jumped out of the sea to shine on the entire city. However, the deep shadow cast after this light also enveloped everyone's hearts.

...

...

...

"Sir Sfindis, they are here!"

On the sea wall at the gate of Santa Barbara in Constantinople, the Venetians stationed here are now watching the Genoese fleet on the sea not far away. This maritime power of this scale makes the Venetians wary, because during this period, the relationship between the two countries has been very tense and conflicts often break out. Just a few months ago, the Venetians and Genoese in the two cities in Aca in the east were frightened and openly used large siege equipment to attack each other, and even shocked the Knights Templars. Therefore, the relationship between the two sides became increasingly serious and friction continued, but now in Constantinople, the Venetians are trying their best to avoid the occurrence of conflict.

The reason is very simple, that is, Genoa here controls the city of Galata. If the hostile relations are made public, the Venetians' interests in Constantinople will be severely damaged and even have an unstable foothold. Now, Sfendis, who replaced Dandolo as the ambassador to Constantinople, knows the interests of this. It is precisely because of this that he rejected the request of Ranieri Dandolo, the son of the former consul, to send troops to intercept Genoa's ships. Although he knew the importance of Peter X, the Grand Patriarch of Constantinople.

"I know, just keep staring, but let the people below know that no matter what happens, they cannot have any close contact with the other party." Suffendis stepped back and reported the soldiers in front of him and immediately gave a new order.

"By the way, is there any movement in Ranieridandolo?" Suddenly he thought of something and called his subordinates in front of him and asked. What he was most worried about now was that if the Ranieri group was unwilling to take action to attack Galata privately, the situation would be extremely bad. Therefore, he also ordered people to secretly monitor Ranieridandolo's every move.

"Please rest assured, sir, we have been careful. Lord Ranieri and his people obediently repaired the city without any abnormalities."

"That's good, that's good." After receiving the affirmative answer from his subordinates, Sfendis breathed a sigh of relief and said good twice in a row. Since the only thing he was worried about did not happen, then nothing serious was going on.

"But, Lord Sfindis, I have a question." At this time, the subordinate next to him suddenly asked.

"Question? Then say it!"

"Since you know that the great patriarch of the Greeks was on the Genoese ship, why would you be willing to let them go easily? If he fell into the hands of Nicea or Epirus, it would undoubtedly be a great encouragement and cohesion for the Greeks, and this would probably be detrimental to us!"

Everyone knows that the Grand Patriarch of Constantinople has a transcendent status, and is equivalent to the Roman Pope in the Orthodox world. Although he seems to be supported by the Roman emperor, his influence among the people is no less than that of the Lord of Wancheng. Although many people obey Suffed the orders of Suffedus, they cannot understand the actions of this master.

Looking at the puzzled subordinates behind him, Sfendis nodded. He had expected this and replied calmly: "I know you have all followed the old consul of Dandolo. I respect him very much and thank him for recommending me to take over the affairs here. But I must emphasize to you one thing, that is, our mission here is not to destroy the Greeks, but to guarantee the best interests of the mother state. In the competition in the Black Sea, we are already behind the Genoese. Now our foundation here is far from the Genoese opponents who have Galata, so we cannot take any risks before we can stand firm."

"But I'm afraid Lord Ranieri won't be willing to give up just like that."

"I don't care about this. As long as the Genoese leave here, what should they do! There is only one thing, that is, don't involve us." Suffendis said coldly, without any intention of compromise. And the other Venetians looked at each other and couldn't say anything anymore, so they had to act as the instructions of the adults in front of them.

After shutting away everyone else in front of him, a figure slowly walked over from behind Suffendis.

"You did a good job, Lord Sfindis!" A voice with a slight oriental accent suddenly sounded, neither humble nor arrogant, and seemed to be neither Venetian nor native to Constantinople. Such a person should be very eye-catching when he appears here, but strangely, the Italian man seemed not at all surprised.

On the other side, Sfendis replied coldly: "Everyone needs it. I will not interfere with it as you request. Let the ship leave here safely. I think you should have brought what I want!"

"Of course, on the ship in the northwest corner, there are 3,000 gold gold on it. It is considered a thank you. I hope we can cooperate happily in the future." The man behind Suffendis nodded and replied, and he said that such a huge wealth as the three,000 gold gold gold was not moved at all.

"Your master is so generous that you can take out so much money at will. It seems that when Constantinople was besieged, your master took away a lot of money." Although he was still very cold just now, the Italian man was still surprised when he learned that the additional money was offered by the other party. However, Suffendis couldn't help but feel happy in his heart. Even though he didn't look moved, his excitement was still hard to hide. The so-called high-sounding words just now had already been thrown out of the sky by him.

"This is just a small part. I believe that you will not be disappointed in working with us. Then now everything is over, I will not disturb you. I hope we can have such a chance to cooperate in the future." The man behind him said respectfully, and he had achieved his goal and was about to leave, but at this moment he was stopped by Suffendis.

"Wait a minute, I have something to ask you."

"Is there anything else?" The man from the east stopped and frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice, wondering why the other party wanted to stop him.
