In any case, the mission was a complete success, eight people went to eight people to come back, Lin Jue was in a mess in the cottage, and more importantly, Shouli came back unscathed, which is a great merit. Although Shen Tan was pleased, he was quite average compared to Ma Bin. Ma Bin's future was almost ruined, and Shen Tan was just the commander of the palace's guards, so this matter actually had little to do with him.
Therefore, Ma Bin has been extremely respectful to Lin Jue these days. People like Ma Bin actually have some habits of rivers and lakes. Although sometimes arrogant and unreasonable oppress the good, but to those who are kind and helpful to themselves, especially those who are more capable than themselves, that is absolute respect. This is also a merit of this person.
On the boat, Ma Bin thanked Lin Jue more than once, and he told Lin Jue that if he arrived in the capital in the future, he would find himself if there was anything. Although he Ma Bin is not a big man, the Imperial City Division is a yamen that shakes the ground with one foot in the capital, and there are almost nothing that he can't manage in the Imperial City Division. Even if it is the saint, the Imperial City Division can also speak.
Lin Jue listened to his words noncommittally. He hadn't studied how much energy the Imperial City Division had, and he hadn't expected much in return from Ma Bin, but it was always good to make one more friend. So he played haha with Ma Bin, but he wouldn't offend him in the slightest. Before the plan began, he had to forcefully suppress them to go according to the plan, and now that the errand is done, he is still the concubine of the Lin family, so it is better to remain humble and low-key.
Just when everyone was chatting easily, suddenly a guard entered the cabin to report that several ships had appeared near the left and were approaching rapidly, and it seemed that the comer was not good. Everyone was shocked, could it be said that the bandits repented?
Everyone hurriedly rushed to the bow of the boat to watch, and sure enough, in the twilight, on the dark lake around them, several large boats approached quickly from four directions, quite aggressive. Because of the darkness, in the twilight, it was impossible to see the flag and the attire of the people on board.
"That's not the boat of the lake bandits, the bandits have such a big ship there?" Lin Jue said a word, Ma Bin, who was a little panicked, scolded himself angrily, he was really inferior to Lin Jue, these things could be seen through at a glance, but he didn't realize this at all.
"That's the navy's warship, it should be the navy of the Ning Navy that is preparing to attack the cottage on Guishan Island when the deadline is reached." Lin Jue continued.
"It must be, look, that is the dragon-headed ship of the prince, and the prince is also here?" Shen Tan finally recognized the nearest ship in the southwest direction.
Several warships approached quickly, and the big dragon head came the fastest, because it was the seat of King Liang, equipped with more oarsmen and more sturdy boatmen. When dozens of long oars waved, it was in front of you in a moment. On the top of the shipbuilding on several floors, there were all archers standing densely next to the railing, all of them bending their bows and arrows at the big ship of Lin Jue and the others.
"Bold bandits, immediately gather on the deck and squat down with your heads in your hands, surrender all, and if you resist, shoot you all!" Someone shouted.
Shen Tan shouted loudly, "Is it the deputy commander?" ”
There was silence for a moment on the tall building ship opposite, and then someone shouted in surprise, "Who are you?" Could it be Brother Shen? ”
Shen Tan shouted loudly: "Isn't it who am I?" Is the prince here? Tell the king, we have returned from the island. ”
"Sure enough, it's Brother Shen, that's great. The prince didn't come, but the little prince came. ”
The person who shouted on the other side was He Chao, the deputy commander of the palace guards, and when he learned that it was Shen Tan on the opposite boat, He Chao was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered all the archers to put down their bows and arrows. At the same time, he rushed to the ship hall to report. In fact, in the boat hall below, Guo Kun, the little prince who was armed with a sword and was ready to board the ship to fight, had also heard the conversation between the two. He Chao arrived in a hurry, and Guo Kun had already ordered the big ship to immediately approach the opposite ship. But in order to prevent fraud, the dozens of archers beside Guo Kun still maintained a posture of bending their bows and arrows.
The two ships approached quickly, and the opposite ship lit a wind lantern to illuminate the bow deck. Under the light, Guo Kun, He Chao and the others saw clearly the few people standing on the deck. Shen Tan waved his arms excitedly, Ma Bin and Lin Jue stood aside and looked at the big boat, and the other seven or eight people were jumping and shouting.
When the two boats were close to Zhangxu, two gangplanks were hit, and dozens of guards quickly boarded the boat, and in a moment they checked the inside and outside of the cabin to make sure that there were no lake bandits on the boat. When they signaled safety, Guo Kun stepped on the gangplank with a smile on his face and came to the birthday boat.
"The villain Shen Tan has seen the little prince." Shen Tan stepped forward and saluted.
"Hahaha, sure enough, it's you. That's great. Guo Kun laughed.
Ma Bin and Lin Jue also stepped forward to salute, and Guo Kun returned the salute with a smile. Then he pulled Ma Bin and Shen Tan aside and asked repeatedly, "How is it?" How's it going? Did you get something back? ”
"Congratulations to the little prince, I am fortunate to be alive, and the things are intact in the cabin."
"Take me to see it." Guo Kun's face flushed with excitement. Shen Tan and Ma Bin had to accompany him to the cabin to check the birthday gift. Lin Jue stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the night view of the lake, his face calm. It's done, in the eyes of the little prince, it must be the work of Shen Tan and Ma Bin. Lin Jue didn't plan to get anything out of this, so there was no imbalance in his heart.
Guo Kun was excited after confirming that the birthday gift was intact, and laughed loudly: "Okay, good, good job." I didn't expect you to really do it, you have made great contributions this time, and I will definitely reward you well with my father. By the way, what conditions were agreed with the bandits? What do those guys want in exchange? ”
Shen Tan smiled and said: "Little prince, don't spend a penny, no need to exchange any conditions." ”
Guo Kunleng said: "How is it possible? These gangsters are so easy to get along with? ”
The plan proposed by Lin Jue before was to infiltrate the cottage and negotiate with the bandit leaders, or exchange conditions to meet the demands of the bandits. Therefore, Guo Kun took it for granted that this must be the result of an exchange of conditions.
"Little prince, this is all Lin Jue's work, I waited for this time to rely on his strength, not only stirred up the bandit village in chaos, but also the owner of the bandit village personally returned the birthday gift and respectfully sent us away. The lowly position is really admired, and he has thrown himself to the ground. Shen Tan sighed.
Lin Jue...... The merit? Guo Kunwu was a little unconvinced.
"Little Wangye, it's really his credit, my old horse doesn't accept anyone, but this time I obeyed. Hey? What about Lin Gongzi? How can we hang him? He is the hero of this time. Shen Tan, the two of us can't pretend to admit this skill. Ma Bin frowned.
Shen Tan said in a loud voice: "What Master Ma said is, how could I pretend to admit this merit? Little prince, don't treat Lin Jue slowly, if it's not him this time, we won't achieve anything. Little prince, let's hurry up and meet him, if you have anything to ask, you should also ask him. Because you asked us, we couldn't come up with a reason, and the whole thing was almost all planned and arranged by him. ”
Guo Kun had to believe it, Shen Tan and Ma Bin both said this, which was definitely not polite. Especially Ma Bin, such a huge credit, how could he give it to others. Then it can only be Lin Jue who really did it single-handedly.
Guo Kun was a little surprised, although he also thought that Lin Jue had some ability before, after all, the Oiran Contest made Sima Qingshan and Dongfang Weiming deflated, which was not something ordinary people could do. There is indeed a set of arrangements in the whole of the Oiran Contest. But Guo Kun actually didn't take Lin Jue in his eyes, after all, status and fame are not enough to talk about. But this time, if Lin Jue really pulled out his teeth, he did it with a knife, a gun, and a penny, this person is really impressive.
When the palace was employing people, King Liang's father and son recruited talents, and there were as many as 1,000 diners in the palace, but there were not many people who could really do things. If this matter is really Lin Jue's power alone, then this person must be won over under the palace gate.
The little prince deserves to be the little prince, and immediately said: "Then why don't you invite him here?" No, no, I'm going to see him personally. ”
A large crowd poured out of the cabin and onto the bow. Lin Jue faced the lake and leaned against the railing to overlook the twilight of the lake, and didn't seem to notice that Guo Kun and a large group of people were walking towards him.
"Young Master Lin, the little prince is here." Shen Tan said.
Lin Jue turned around and saw Guo Kunzheng looking at him with blazing eyes, and hurriedly arched his hand: "Has the little prince checked the birthday gift?" ”
Guo Kun nodded and said, "It's been checked, and it's not damaged at all." ”
Lin Jue smiled: "Little Lord can rest assured." ”
Guo Kun said: "Yes." Everyone was relieved. But I have to apologize to one person. ”
Lin Jue smiled: "Apologize? You don't have to tell me about the little prince. ”
"Of course I have to tell you, because the object of my apology is you, Lin Jue. Lin Gongzi, please forgive me for my previous arrogance and rudeness, Guo Kun apologizes to you. Just now, Shen Tan and Master Ma have already told me that this time it is you who alone can recapture the birthday gift, which makes me very surprised. I admit I underestimated you, but for now, I'm not going to snub you. Guo Kun said sincerely.
Lin Jue was a little surprised. In his impression, Guo Kun has always been arrogant and arrogant. The previous few contacts also seem to be deliberately asking for their own trouble. But these words now show the heart of a superior person. Although Lin Jue didn't know the purpose of his humility, just these few words were enough to make Lin Jue's impression of him change.
"The little prince is serious, I am a grass people, and the little prince naturally can't say anything to me, nor can he talk about any arrogance and rudeness. As for this incident, I can't do it alone. With the concerted efforts of Lord Ma, Commander Shen and all the brothers, he was lucky to succeed. This credit belongs to everyone, not me. Lin Jue said with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, Ma Bin and Shen Tan and several palace guards were greatly relieved. Lin Gongzi is interesting enough, although he didn't contribute much on this trip, Lin Gongzi obviously didn't want to take the credit alone. Such a person is really a friend. You must know that this is a major matter, and such a great achievement has been made, and the reward must be great. So they actually care a lot about the credit after the fact.
"Admiration, not arrogant, very rare. Let's stop standing here and talking, let's go to the big ship and have a banquet, and let's talk while eating. After a while, Lord Song will be commanded by the Ning Navy, and Lord Wang, who will be commanded by the Navy Commander, will come. They were on the boats on the left, and I ordered them to be asked to cross. I'll hear about your heroic deeds on the island. Hahaha. Guo Kun was in a very good mood, so he stepped forward and took Lin Jue's arm and left.
Lin Jue was very unaccustomed to this kind of intimacy, but he was embarrassed to shake it off. I heard Guo Kun say just now that the commander of the Ning Navy and the commander of Song Yanping's naval army and Wang Kai are here, it seems that this time Guo Bing is bound to win, the leading generals of the Ning Navy and the little prince of the palace are in charge, if he is still unable to do it on the island, a battle to the death will inevitably break out.
