Chapter 35: Zhou Kun's Identity
"Your Highness, because Brother Zhou is responsible for heavy responsibilities and Goguryeo keeps pursuing it, we were sent to a hidden island halfway. If the other party did not find us, it would not be too late to pick him up. If we were unfortunately arrested, then he would hide on the island for a while and wait for this moment before trying to find a way to go back." The smiley tiger said with lingering fear. If it wasn't for the King of Qi to save them this time, then he and his brothers would really die in Goguryeo.
"Oh? How about that island? I will send someone to take Zhou Kun over now!" Li Yan said anxiously. If Zhou Kun was really as he guessed, then he would definitely be carrying an extremely important task.
"Your Highness, there are not many people who know about that island. My elder brother and I personally sent him there. I am quite strong and can hold on. Your Highness can send two clutches, and then I will lead the way to take Brother Zhou back!" One-eyed Shark struggled to stand up from the two guards who were supporting him, and barely walked two steps and said. There are many islands in the Bohai Strait, and there are dozens of names that call, and more are deserted islands that don't even have names. It's really not difficult to hide someone on it.
Looking at the one-eyed shark, Li Yan couldn't help but be worried, but Zhou Kun was probably very important and could not be delayed at all. Therefore, Li Yan had to nodded and agreed, borrowed two fastest vehicles from Liu Ju, and then led the way to find Zhou Kun by the one-eyed shark. As for the smiley tiger and other crew members, they were placed on the merchant ship that he came with, and their ship was dragged away by several large ships.
"Shark! So many sharks!" Just as Li Yan was waiting anxiously for the news of the one-eyed shark, he suddenly heard someone screaming. Li Yan turned his head and looked down and found that there were many triangular fish fins on the sea not far away, swimming quickly towards this side. Through the clear sea water, you can see that the water surface was covered with ferocious sharks.
"Bastard, these sharks want to steal my whales!" Li Yan understood at a glance that the sharks were very sensitive to the smell of blood. They must have been attracted by the blood from the wounds on the whale's back.
"Your Highness, these sharks cannot hurt our ship. As for that whale, I guess they can't be saved!" Liu Ju walked over and took a look and found that there were at least nearly a hundred sharks swimming. Although the whale on the side of the ship was big, due to the cruelty of the shark, it was estimated that it would be able to be swallowed in less than an hour.
"How can this be done? This is the whale that I have hit with myself. How can this group of robbers in the sea be in vain?" Li Yan said gritting his teeth. He also wanted to take this whale to show off after returning to Dengzhou, especially to show Wen Xin and the others that he was a warrior who could go into the sea to capture dragons.
"Don't worry, your highness, I have a solution!" At this moment, Xi Junmai, who had always been taciturn, suddenly spoke for the first time.
"Oh. What can you do if you buy it?" Li Yan was a little confused. Xi Junmai was an honest man and was very responsible for being a guard. But if you came up with ideas and thoughts, it was not his strength at all.
"Please look at your highness!" Xi Junmai said, relaxing his long arms and taking off the six-stone super strong bow on his back. Xi Junmai is a powerful general on the battlefield, and his personal strength is very considerable, especially on the bow and arrow. Except for Xue Rengui, who is still living in his hometown in Shanxi, it is estimated that Xi Jun bought the best archery skills in the entire Tang Dynasty. Moreover, this guy's arms are amazing, and most soldiers use one stone. Ordinary generals use only three stone bows. As for those who can draw four stone or five stone bows, there are not many in the entire Tang Dynasty, but Xi Jun bought the six stone bows. It can be said that just relying on this strength, everyone can be suppressed.
I saw a bow in my right hand, a wiping out of the arrow bag with my left hand, and a feather arrow was already in my hand, and then I opened my bow like lightning. Before everyone could react, a sharp arrow had disappeared on the bowstring, and then a tiny white wave appeared on the sea surface. A swimming shark paused slightly, and then his stomach floated on the water. The sharp-eyed Li Yan found that the shark's head and jaw had actually had a small hole in each of them, and it was obviously shot by the sharp arrow just now.
As soon as the shark died, the blood from the wound immediately stimulated the other sharks, and they all came forward to bite them. In a short while, a shark that was bigger than an adult was eaten and there was no residue left.
Seeing the effect of his shooting, Xi Junmai seemed a little surprised. Unexpectedly, these sharks looked fierce, but they could not withstand the attack of the Six Stone Bow. So they hung up the uncommonly used bow, took the commonly used four Stone Bow from the guard next to them, and then fired the arrows left and right. The whole person was like a human-shaped machine gun. In the blink of an eye, a layer of shark corpses floated on the sea surface, and they were all shot in the brain.
"A good general! Ancient Houyi is just like this!" Seeing Xi Junmai's unparalleled archery technique, Liu Ju couldn't help but praise him. He had been in the army for many years, but he had never seen such a powerful general? But he had never seen such a great archery technique. Li Yan was also surprised and happy. He only knew that Xi Junmai was extremely brave before, but it was not until today that the opponent's martial arts value was much higher than he estimated.
Seeing Xi Jun bought the shocking archery technique, most of the soldiers of the Dengzhou Navy were admired, but some arrogant people were still a little dissatisfied. After all, this was a navy warship. Now, when I saw a royal guard showing his power, it really lost the face of their Dengzhou Navy.
It was under this idea that some soldiers on other warships who believed that they were superb archers came to Liu Ju's warship in a small boat, and took a bow and arrow to start competing with Xi Junmai. For these people who came to challenge, Xi Junmai was not affected at all. After the initial explosion of the bow and arrows in their hands began to fire arrows at a fixed frequency, and each arrow would be hit, and they would die. Except for a few of the people who came to challenge, most of the others almost gave in immediately.
Under the attack of the sharpshooter led by Xi Junmai, in a short while, hundreds of sharks attracted were slaughtered. A layer of white belly floated on the sea, and none of them could rush under Li Yan and the others' boat.
"Okay! Good archery technique!" Li Yan praised loudly when he saw this situation. Liu Ju was also very pleased and laughed with gratitude. Although in terms of archery, the people under him were worse than Xi Junbu, but with his unyielding aura, he did not lose his face as a Dengzhou navy.
"Thank you Your Highness to praise you!" Xi Junmai and several soldiers on the boat below salute Li Yan, and then the boats below each returned to their posts without stopping at all.
"General Liu. I saw that the Dengzhou naval army was brave, especially those just now, so I gave it some rewards. I wonder if the army allowed it?" Li Yan remembered that he had acted like a rogue to Liu Ju before, and now he can take this opportunity to repair it.
"Your Highness, the soldiers in the army are not allowed to accept private gifts. However, if your Highness wants to reward the army, he can reward the army in the name of the governor of Dengzhou, and also reward some soldiers. This is all permitted by military law." Liu Ju smiled. Although he was a little sarcastic to Li Yan, he saw that he was willing to take risks for a few ordinary people. This kind of heart-to-heart heart also made Liu Ju secretly admire him, so the little bit of aura he had for Li Yan had long dissipated.
"Hahaha~. It's best. After returning to Dengzhou, I will prepare the wine and food. Then I will not be drunk and return with General Liu and the soldiers." Li Yan was also very proud. Through this incident, not only greatly improved his prestige in the hearts of everyone, but also established a good relationship with the Dengzhou navy, and even got a whale, which led to a good idea. It can be said that it can be said that it will kill multiple goals in one fell swoop.
Just as Li Yan and his team were halfway through, the one-eyed shark and others sent out finally arrived. In addition to the soldiers who went there, there were a few more people on the two ships, one of them was held by two people, and they were also covered with scars. It seemed that it was Zhou Kun, and the other people were the people sent by the tiger shark to protect him before.
Li Yan looked at Zhou Kun carefully and found that the other party was about forty years old. He looked very ordinary and not tall, but he was extremely strong. Most of the injuries on his body were wounded by swords and arrows. Although it looked terrifying, it was actually not hurting the vital points. This shows that this person's skills were also very good, otherwise it would not have been possible to avoid so many vital points. It was just because of excessive bleeding, so he looked pale and weak. He could recover as long as he kept it for a while.
"Are you Zhou Kun?" Li Yan asked someone to take Zhou Kun to the warehouse on the building, and asked left and right.
"Your Highness, the villain is Zhou Kun!" Because his body was too weak, Li Yan specially asked Zhou Kun to sit on the chair to answer, but seeing him sitting there with a calm look on his face, he was not even afraid of facing Prince Li Yan, and was obviously not an ordinary person.
"Zhou Kun, you should be a detailed work sent by the Ministry of War to Goguryeo, right?" Li Yan was lazy to circle around the other party and asked directly. The situation learned from the tiger sharks and the others, coupled with the inside information Li Yan knew, it was easy to guess Zhou Kun's identity. After all, he was the unethical idea of provoking Goguryeo's civil strife.
When Zhou Kun heard Li Yan reveal his identity, he stood up from the chair with a "scarlet" sound, staring at Li Yan with murderous aura, as if he would pounce on him at any time and try his best.
However, this was just Zhou Kun's instinctive reaction. Then he thought of the other party's identity. He was so scared that he immediately relaxed and saluted respectfully: "Your Highness, I am so anxious that I almost ran into Your Highness!"
"It's okay, please sit down quickly and don't move the wound!" Li Yan was also shocked by the other party's reaction, but when he thought of Zhou Kun's identity similar to Infernal Affairs, he immediately felt relieved.
"Your Highness, you..."
Zhou Kun sat down with confusion. Just as he was about to ask Li Yan how he knew his identity, he smiled and said, "Haha, you may not know yet. The idea of leaving Goguryeo was proposed to my father. Although I did not participate in the subsequent matters, the information I received from the tiger sharks was enough to guess your identity."
"Ah! So that's it. Your Highness is so talented, and the villain admires it!" When he heard that his job was actually started by Li Yan, Zhou Kun immediately said solemnly that he was one of the executors of this plan. He naturally understood how much benefit the plan would bring to the Tang Dynasty if it was successful.
"By the way, why did Goguryeo chase you this time? But his identity was exposed?" Li Yan finally found the opportunity to tell the question he wanted to ask the most.
"Your Highness, the villain could only report this matter to the superiors, but since Your Highness is the initiator of this matter, it's okay to tell you." Zhou Kun paused and said with a solemn look on his face, "Your Highness, the Yuan family of Goguryeo and several other powerful generals have made a secret discussion, which will be detrimental to the Goguryeo king Rongliu!"
