Chapter 35: Zhou Kun's Identity
"Your Royal Highness, because Brother Zhou is responsible for his heavy responsibility, and Goguryeo is constantly tracking, so he was sent to a hidden island by us halfway, if the other party does not find us, it is not too late to pick him up then, if we are unfortunately caught, then he will hide on the island for a while, and then find a way to go back after this period of limelight." The smiling tiger said with palpitations, if it wasn't for His Royal Highness King Qi to save them this time, then he and his brothers would really die in Goguryeo.
"Oh? How to get to that island, this king will send someone to pick up Zhou Kun now! Li Su also said a little anxiously, if Zhou Kun is really as he guessed, then he must be burdened with an extremely important task.
"Your Highness, there are not many people who know about that island, I and my eldest brother personally sent him there, I am relatively strong, and I can hold on, Your Highness can send two fast boats, and then I will lead the way and bring Brother Zhou back!" The cyclops struggled to his feet from the two guards who were supporting him, and barely took two steps. There are a lot of islands in the Bohai Strait, and there are dozens of them with names on them, and more of them are desert islands that don't even have names, and it's really not difficult to hide a person on them.
Looking at the appearance of the one-eyed shark, Li Su couldn't help but be a little worried, but that Zhou Kun was probably very important, and he couldn't delay it at all, so Li Su had to nod and agree, and borrowed two fastest cars and ships from Liu Ju, and then the one-eyed shark led the way to find Zhou Kun, as for the smiling tiger and the other crew members, they were placed by Li Su on the merchant ship that came with him, and their ship was dragged away by several big ships.
"Shark! Lots of sharks! Just as Li Su was anxiously waiting for the news of the cyclops, he suddenly heard someone screaming. Li Su turned his head to look down, and found that there were many triangular fins on the sea not far away, which were swimming quickly towards this side, and through the clear water, he could see that the surface of the water was full of ferocious sharks.
"Bastard, these sharks are whales who want to rob Lao Tzu!" Li Su understood at a glance that sharks were very sensitive to the smell of blood. It must have been attracted by the blood flowing from the wound on the whale's back.
"Your Highness, these sharks can't hurt our boat, as for the whale. I guess I can't keep it! Liu Ju walked over and took a look, and found that there were at least nearly 100 sharks swimming in, although the whale on the side of the boat was large. But with the ferocity of the shark, it is estimated that it will be able to be torn clean in less than an hour.
"Then what's the matter, this is a whale caught by the king himself, how can he cheapen these sea robbers for nothing?" Li Su gritted his teeth and said, he still wants to let people pull this whale to show off after returning to Dengzhou, especially to show Wen Xin and a few of them, as a husband, he is a warrior who can go to the sea to catch dragons.
"Your Highness, don't worry, your subordinates have a way!" At this moment, Xi Junmai, who had always been taciturn, suddenly took the initiative to speak.
"Oh. What can you do? Li Su was a little puzzled, this Xi Junmai is an honest man, and he is usually very conscientious as a guard, but if he comes up with ideas and solutions, it is not his forte at all.
"Your Highness, please look!" Xi Junmai said lightly stretching his long arms. Took off the six-stone super strong bow on his back. Xi Junmai is a fierce general on the battlefield, and his personal force value is very considerable, especially in the bow and arrow, except for Xue Rengui, who is still nesting in his hometown in Shanxi, it is estimated that Xi Junmai has the best archery skills in the entire Tang Dynasty. And this guy's arms are amazingly strong, and most soldiers use one stone. Ordinary generals only use three-stone bows, and as for those who can open four-stone or five-stone bows, the entire Tang Dynasty can't find a few, but Xi Jun buys a six-stone bow, and it can be said that with this strength, everyone can be pressed down.
I saw the bow in my right hand, and my left hand wiped it from the quiver, a feather arrow was already in my hand, and then I opened the bow and arrows like lightning, and before everyone could react, a sharp arrow had disappeared on the bowstring, and then I saw a tiny white spray on the sea, and a shark that was swimming happily paused slightly, and then its stomach flipped and floated on the water. The sharp-eyed Li Su found that the shark had a small hole in its head and jaw, which was obviously pierced by the sharp arrow just now.
As soon as the shark died, the blood flowing from the wound immediately stimulated the other sharks, who stepped forward to bite one after another, and after a while, a shark bigger than an adult was eaten and there was not even scum left.
Seeing the effect of his shooting, Xi Junmai seemed to be a little surprised, he didn't expect that these sharks had a fierce appearance, but they couldn't resist the blow of the six-stone bow. So he hung up the bow that was not commonly used, took the commonly used four-stone bow from the guard next to him, and then fired the bow and arrow from side to side, and the whole person was like a humanoid machine gun, and in the blink of an eye, a layer of shark corpses floated on the sea, and all of them were arrows in the brain.
"What a fierce general! Gu Houyi is nothing more than that! Seeing Xi Jun's unparalleled archery skills in the world, Liu Ju couldn't help but praise him, he has been in the army for many years, what kind of fierce general has he never seen? But he has never seen anyone so good at archery. And Li Su was also surprised and delighted, he only knew that Xi Junmai was brave before, but he didn't know until today that the other party's force value was much higher than his estimate.
Seeing the earth-shattering archery skills that Xi Jun bought, most of the soldiers of the Dengzhou Navy were admired in their hearts, but some arrogant people were still a little unconvinced, after all, this is a naval warship, and now to see a palace guard with great might, it is really a big loss for their Dengzhou Navy face.
It was under this idea that some soldiers on other warships who thought they were superb in archery came to Liu Ju's warship in small boats, and began to compete with Xi Junmai with bows and arrows. For these people who came to challenge, Xi Junmai was not affected at all, and after the initial outbreak of the bow and arrow in his hand, he began to fire arrows at a fixed frequency, and each arrow must be hit, and the middle will die. Except for a few of these people who came to challenge who could keep up with the frequency of Du Jun's buying, most of the others almost immediately admitted defeat.
Under the attack of the marksmen led by Xi Junmai, after a while, hundreds of sharks were slaughtered, and a layer of white bellies floated on the sea, and none of the sharks could rush under Li Su's boat.
"Good! Good archery! When Li Su saw this situation, he also praised loudly. And Liu Ju was also very pleased to stroke his beard and laugh, although in terms of archery, these people under him were worse than Xi Junmai, but just with this momentum of not admitting defeat, he did not lose the face of his Dengzhou Navy.
"Your Highness Xie's compliment!" Xi Junmai and several soldiers on the small boat below saluted Li Su, and then the small boats below each returned to their posts without stopping at all.
"General Liu. This king saw the courage of the Dengzhou naval army, especially the people just now, so he gave some rewards. I wonder if it's allowed in the military? Li Su remembered that he had played a scoundrel to Liu Ju before, and now he could take this opportunity to mend it.
"Your Highness, officers and soldiers in the army are not allowed to accept private gifts. However, if His Royal Highness wants to reward, he can use the name of Dengzhou Assassin to reward the army, and he can also reward some soldiers, which is allowed by military law. Liu Ju said with a smile, although he had some slight remarks about Li Su, a scoundrel prince, but seeing that he did not hesitate to risk his life for the sake of a few ordinary people, this kind of mind for the people also made Liu Ju secretly admire, so the anger towards Li Su had long since dissipated.
"Hahaha~. This is the best, after returning to Dengzhou, the king must prepare wine and food, and then he will not get drunk with General Liu and all the soldiers. Li Su was also very proud in his heart, through this incident. not only greatly enhanced his prestige in the hearts of everyone, but also was able to have a good relationship with the Dengzhou Navy Army, and even got a whale, so that he thought of a good idea, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.
Just when Li Su and their fleet were halfway through, the one-eyed shark and others who were sent out finally caught up. In addition to the soldiers on the two ships, there were a few more people, one of them was carried by two people, and his body was also scarred, it seemed that it should be that Zhou Kun, and the other people were the people sent by the tiger shark to protect him before.
Li Su took a closer look at this Zhou Kun and found that the other party was about forty years old, his appearance was very ordinary, and he was not tall, but he was extremely strong, and most of the injuries on his body were knife and arrow wounds, although they looked terrifying, but in fact, they did not hurt the vital point, which shows that this person's skills are also extremely good, otherwise it is impossible to avoid so many vital points. It's just that because of excessive bleeding, it looks pale and weak, and it can recover as long as it takes a while longer.
"You are Zhou Kun?" Li Su asked Zhou Kun to take him to the warehouse on the ship, and asked left and right.
"Your Highness Qiqi, the villain is Zhou Kun!" Because his body was too weak, Li Su deliberately asked Zhou Kun to sit on the chair to answer, but seeing him sitting there with a calm face, he didn't even have the slightest timidity in the face of Li Su, the prince, and was obviously not an ordinary person.
"Zhou Kun, you should be a fine worker sent to Goguryeo by the Ministry of War, right?" Li Su was also lazy to go around in circles with the other party, and asked directly, what he learned from the mouth of the tiger shark, coupled with some insider information that Li Su knew, it was easy to guess Zhou Kun's identity, after all, he came up with the idea of provoking Goguryeo's civil strife in the first place.
Zhou Kun heard Li Su reveal his identity, stood up from the chair with a 'poof', stared at Li Su with a murderous face, and seemed to pounce on him at any time to fight hard.
However, this was just Zhou Kun's instinctive reaction, and then he thought of the identity of the other party, and he immediately relaxed when he was frightened, and saluted respectfully: "Your Highness forgives your sins, the villain was in a hurry, and almost collided with His Highness!" ”
"It's okay, please sit down, don't move the wound!" Li Su was also taken aback by the other party's reaction, but when he thought of Zhou Kun's identity similar to Infernal Affairs, he was immediately relieved.
"Your Highness, Your ......"
Zhou Kun sat down full of doubts, and just wanted to ask Li Su how he knew his identity, but saw Li Su smile and said: "Hehe, you may not know that the idea of dividing Goguryeo at the beginning was proposed by this king to his father, although he was not involved in the subsequent affairs, but some information from the two tiger sharks is enough to guess your identity." ”
"Ahh I see, His Royal Highness is big, and the villain admires it! As soon as he heard that his errand was still caused by Li Su, Zhou Kun immediately said solemnly, he was one of the executors of this plan, and naturally understood how much benefit this plan would bring to Datang if it was successful.
"By the way, why did Goguryeo chase and kill you this time, but your identity was exposed?" Li Su finally found an opportunity to say the question he wanted to ask the most.
"Your Highness, originally this matter could only be reported to the villain, but since His Highness is the initiator of this matter, it doesn't hurt to tell you." Zhou Kun paused here and said with a solemn face, "Your Highness, the Yuan family of Goguryeo and several other powerful generals are secretly discussing that it will be unfavorable to the lord of Goguryeo, Rongliu!" (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
