The Monkey King

"The 6 million gold coins allocated last month have been put into the treasury, and the reward letter has been submitted. The total is 8.2 million gold coins..."

…

"The battleship shot down by Zhang Yao during the Dongsheng Shenzhou expedition has confirmed that the core array cannot be repaired. Now..."

…

"While pursuing Xiniu Hezhou, we mistakenly entered Zhen Yuanzi's territory. We have already apologized, but..."

…

"A new batch of weapons has been put into storage. This is a new process blueprint submitted by the Smelting Department. They suggested..."

…

"The dispute between the Bi camp and the Bolang Ministry has been reported to the Ministry of Military Affairs for arbitration. This is a proposal for handling it. They want to hear your opinion, Marshal..."

…

"The training of the new recruits has been completed. The bishop asked the marshal if you would give instructions at the sorting ceremony..."

…

"The Civil Engineering Department reported that there was something wrong with the materials for the construction of Guanyuntian Port. The treasury was unable to deliver the source stone of the core array on time. Now the entire project..."

With an army of 600,000 under his command, it can be said that there are many soldiers and generals. Such a huge military organization operates extremely efficiently in the hands of Tianpeng. With 600,000 people, 600,000 people have to take care of them. In just a few days, I glanced over the fallen business affairs one by one, and in the blink of an eye the sun was rising.

When the sky was about to clear, a ray of morning sun shone through the spacious door into the empty palace, but it could not shine on the tired canopy on the main seat.

With a long sigh, Tianpeng rubbed Qingming's point with difficulty and closed his eyes for a long time, unable to speak.

With the cultivation level of Taiyi Golden Immortal in the Transformation Realm, it doesn’t matter if it’s physical work that means staying up for ten days and ten nights, but when it comes to mental strength...

The general who had been waiting quietly walked over, bowed his head and asked softly: "Marshal, why don't you take a rest first?"

Canopy opened his bloodshot eyes as if suddenly awakened: "No, they are still waiting. Let's go. Since they are here, we must meet them first."

"Then... should we meet King Dhrita first or Fairy Nishang first?"

"King Dhritarashtra."

Walking out of the side door, under the guard of four heavenly soldiers, Tianjiang took the canopy all the way around the corridor. He soon reached the first floor and walked a short distance along the corridor to the **.

Seeing the canopy from a distance, a white-bearded veteran came forward immediately.

"marshal."

"Tianfu, did they say anything?"

The veteran general named Tianfu bowed and cupped his hands, and replied: "King Chiguo has been silent all the time, and Nezha has been pacing in the hall and has scolded the soldiers several times."

Canopy nodded silently: "You guys wait here, I'll go meet them."

Everyone bowed and stepped aside. Canopy coughed twice and walked across the vermilion doorframe with heads held high.

Seeing the arrival of the canopy, King Chiguo who was sitting on the chair beside him immediately stood up. Nezha, who was originally standing, sat down instead, folded his hands and ignored him.

This king of Dhritarashtra is tall, has thick eyebrows and big eyes, has two red beards, wears red armor, and has blue and purple skin. Seeing Tianpeng's arrival, he quickly bowed and held his hands in his hands: "Chikuo, see Marshal Tianpeng."

"Excuse me." Tianpeng casually waved, ignoring Nezha, striding to the main seat and sitting on it.

The waiting heavenly soldiers immediately presented tea.

After taking the tea, he lowered his head and took a sip. Tianpeng said expressionlessly: "Since the relocation of our army, King Chiguo and the third prince Nezha have not been here yet. This time, I have to visit and give you some advice."

Nezha immediately snorted coldly: "To put it nicely, we have been here for a few hours, and we have only just come out to see you now. Is this considered hospitality?"

Chiguo's face changed slightly. Seeing that Tianpeng had no intention of having an attack, he calmed down and said, "Marshal, Chiguo came here this time on the order of King Li Tian to personally deliver this letter." Leave it to the Marshal."

With that said, Dhritarashtra took out a letter embedded with gold sand from his pocket and presented it to the canopy with both hands.

However, Tianpeng did not reach out to pick it up. He lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said calmly: "What does King Li have to do? He still needs King Shiguo to send a letter in person. It is really embarrassing for Tianpeng. Is it to increase the king's affairs?"

Chiguo gritted his teeth, forced a smile in front of his face, and said, "That's right...yes."

"What's there to say about this?"

"Marshal, that matter must be a misunderstanding. King Li Tian personally told his subordinates to submit the letter just to clarify the misunderstanding."

"If there is any misunderstanding, just go to the Lingxiao Palace and tell it. The matter has been reported to Your Majesty. Tomorrow, we will have to decide whether there is a misunderstanding or not."

The corners of Chiguo's mouth twitched twice.

The "bright day" mentioned in the canopy is the "bright day" of heaven. Put in the heaven, Zeng was just detained by the canopy for one night, which only lasted a few hours, and he was escorted to the palace the next day.

But this Yunyu Tiangang is in the mortal world, which means that the Growth King will be imprisoned for up to several months!

This obviously means that no water can enter.

Lowering his head, Chi Guo was thinking about how to continue his words, but Nezha beside him had already had a seizure.

"Good on you, Canopy! Don't be shameless!" He stood up suddenly, holding a fire-pointed gun in his hand.

Tianpeng glanced at Nezha lightly and did not answer.

"I didn't say anything about attacking our warship and escorting my general. Now I ask you to let him go, but you are still pretending to be stupid! You really think that I, Nantianmen, are easy to bully!"

Chiguo immediately stopped him and hurriedly told him to stop talking with his eyes.

Nezha then angrily walked aside, not forgetting to glare at Guo and Tianpeng before leaving.

After Nezha walked away, Chi Guocai lowered his voice and said to Tianpeng: "Marshal, let me tell you what King Li Tian said: 'As generals in the same dynasty, there are certain things, so don't overdo it.'"

"Tianpeng is stupid and can't understand what the King is saying." Tianpeng chuckled: "If you commit something, you have committed it, if you haven't committed it, you have not committed it. How can there be any fault or fault? Tomorrow morning, if it is the Jade Emperor If he is guilty of cutting off growth, then he deserves to die. If he is not guilty, then Tianpeng is guilty. When the time comes, you can lay all the charges on me."

Having said that, he no longer looked after the country and only said coldly: "I still have some military affairs to deal with. You two have come from afar. If you want to stay in my Yunyu Tiangang for a few days, I will arrange for one of you to be there." The veteran will accompany you to ensure that you two return home happily. If you don't want to stay...then you have to see us off."

"You——!" Chiguo was speechless for a moment. He gritted his teeth for a while, then he had to cup his hands and said: "Chikuo, please retire! You are disturbing the marshal."

Putting the golden letter in his arms and slowly taking two steps back, Chiguo turned around and winked at Nezha: "Let's go."

After the two left, Tian Fu, the veteran general outside the door, walked in: "Marshal, why not use a delaying tactic and let Li Jing make an offer. In this way, we can also find out their background."

Tianpeng smiled faintly, and in a blink of an eye, the smile disappeared, and he said coldly: "You want it, and Li Jing wants it even more. When it comes to power, I think I am not as good as him. In this case, it is better to avoid those false moves, Everyone, come down to the real thing. Have you found the Demon King?"

"There is news that it is in Hezhou, Xiniu."

"oh?"

"There's another news."

"explain."

Pursing his dry lips, Tianfu said slowly: "There is news that he has hid in the territory of the Bull Demon King. Moreover, there are rumors of the Bull Demon King, the Jiao Demon King, the Peng Demon King, the Lion Camel King, the Macaque King, and the Tamarin King, we have become sworn brothers."

Hearing this, Tianpeng's face suddenly turned cold, and he hummed: "Heavenly's most wanted criminals, I've already counted them all."

"The six demon kings have become sworn brothers. This will lead to the whole body. If our army attacks rashly, I'm afraid..." Tianfu paused slightly, then opened his mouth and spat out the last word: "Xuan."

Raising his head, Tianpeng took a deep breath and stared blankly at the ceiling covered with hollow carvings.

"This is a troublesome thing. We can't count on the other troops in Heaven... It seems that we have to go to Xiniu Hezhou to find out the truth in person."

After thinking blankly for a long time, Tianpeng asked casually: "What about the monkey demon?"

"No news yet."

"Last time in Kunlun Mountain, Yang Chan was involved. This time in Ziyun Bibo Pond, not only Yang Chan, but also Yang Jian also appeared. This monkey demon may have some relationship with his Yang brothers and sisters."

"Currently, my subordinates have arranged for people to start the investigation, but Guanjiangkou is heavily guarded, so nothing has been found yet."

After thinking for a while, he swallowed, and Tianpeng continued: "Another line, check Xieyue Sanxing Cave. Yang Chan is now a disciple of Xieyue Sanxing Cave. Maybe this monkey demon is related to Xie Yue. Sanxing Cave is also related. Just be sure not to disturb Patriarch Subhuti during the investigation. This monkey demon cannot be kept. If it is leaked, it will definitely be a big disaster in the future."

"I obey." Tianfu bowed and cupped his hands, and then said, "Marshal, I still have something to ask for advice on."

"explain."

"Did the Yang Jian brothers and sisters be mentioned in the memorial that reported this incident to heaven?"

"Excluding the matter of their brother and sister, if Yang Jian and Li Jing are forced to join forces, we will be passive. This time Yang Jian only saved Yang Chan, but did not do it himself, which can be regarded as giving us a way out. We should not cross this line for the time being. It’s good.”

"My subordinate understands."

The screen retreated to the left and right, and Tianpeng walked alone along the long corridor, bypassing the nine-curved fence, and came to the edge of a lotus pond.

The unique and simple pavilion is submerged in the layers of lotus leaves. Under the pavilion, sitting on the edge of the stone table is a fairy in red.

The exquisite and picturesque facial features are bathed in that ray of morning sun, shining with dreamlike brilliance like white jade emerging from the water.

Anyone who looks at those frowning eyebrows can't help but feel pity for him.

The moment he saw her, Tianpeng stopped, and the murderous aura slowly spread out between his eyebrows. He looked at her from a distance, as if appreciating the rare picture, but actually he was crazy.

After a while, Fairy Nishang also saw the canopy. The worry between her brows quietly dissipated like the mist in the morning light, and her bright look blossomed.

She stood up, saluted, and said calmly: "I will go down to see Marshal Tianpeng."

The sound was as sweet as a silver bell, with a refreshing smell under the sun.

However, Tianpeng's expression suddenly returned to the coldness of the past. He walked over expressionlessly and said calmly: "No courtesy. In my military camp, it is very inconvenient for women to come and go."

Fairy Nishang lowered her head slightly: "Nishang was also anxious, so she took this offense. Please ask the marshal..."

"It's okay." Tianpeng said calmly.

Fairy Nishang saluted again, looking a little embarrassed.

Tianpeng looked at Fairy Nishang calmly, took a deep breath, turned around and walked aside to look at the picturesque lotus pond under the morning sun: "What do you want from me?"

After hesitating for a long time, Nishang said: "They said that the marshal captured the King of Growth. Now the Nantianmen are planning how to deal with the marshal."

"They are plotting against me even if this is not the case. I'm used to it."

"I heard from them that the Marshal had a fight with the King of Growth, and Nishang happened to have some pills in his hand, so he brought them over." He took out a small medicine bottle from his sleeve and put it on the stone table.

Turning around, Tianpeng smiled, reached for the medicine bottle, took off the cap and smelled it: "Thank you, I will use it."

After that, the two of them were silent again for a long time.

The rays of the morning sun shone through the upright lotus leaves in the quaint pavilion and on the two of them.

The look on his face was indifferent and awkward.

The shadow under the feet slants slightly to the side, and no matter how far it extends, it cannot be connected.

After a long silence, Tianpeng hesitated and said: "Heaven has rules of heaven, and the army of heaven has military laws, so..."

Nishang blinked her eyes, and finally could only salute and say: "Xiaxian understands, then... Xiaxian has resigned."

"Yeah." Tianpeng nodded silently.

Nishang turned around and walked slowly, stopping three times every step. Her figure was like maple leaves floating on the lake, but she never waited for the canopy to call her.

Along the way, Tianpeng didn't even look at him, but he stared at the elixir in his hand for a long time, unable to move his eyes away. An imperceptible smile gradually appeared on his face.

…

On the moon tree, a bud quietly opened a petal.

…

At this time, Chiguo and Nezha, who had gone far away, were calculating in the clouds.

"I really don't understand you. It's not the first day I've met this pig-headed guy. Why bother to put your face on his cold ass?" Nezha crossed his hands and expressed indignation.

"What the King of Heaven wants is to let him make a price if it can calm things down."

"Will he ask for a price?" Nezha sneered.

"Not necessarily. I heard that his financial gap is not small, and he must be about to live a long life now. But I didn't expect that he would rather continue to bear it than fight with us." He sighed longly and said, "Now the talks have collapsed. The rest can only depend on the King's methods. This growth is real, and he actually ran over on his own."

"He thought Zhu Toupeng didn't dare to mess around, but he didn't know that he would dare to do anything if he was stupid." Nezha glanced at Chi Guo and suddenly asked: "Hey, what happened in Ziyun Bibotan is not true. Did you collude with that black dragon?"

Chi Guo smiled awkwardly: "The Third Prince doesn't know something. Nantianmen really has no military merits. If not, the morale of the army will be shaken."

"Then let's fight with real swords and guns. He can do it, why can't you?"

"This... Third Prince. Although most of the demons in the lower world are fragile, our intelligence is not as good as that of the Tianhe Navy. Sometimes..."

"Come on." Nezha snorted coldly and rubbed the fire-tip spear in his hand: "Next time, take me with you. I will help you clear the way. If you encounter a monster that I can't defeat, there will be nothing to say. "
