The Monkey King

At noon, the message from Huaguo Mountain arrived.

"Li Jing's special envoy has arrived, just outside! What should I do? Come back quickly!" This was a short-mouthed voice.

"The arrival of Li Jing's special envoy means that the army will not arrive for the time being. Why are you so nervous?" the monkey replied angrily.

"Now what?"

"We'll welcome you."

"Reception? Who will receive it?"

The monkey could tell that Short Mouth was completely in disarray.

"Can't you just receive him? You can fool him, don't you understand? He must be trying to get King Guangmu back, so you just try to talk to him, asking for this or that, anyway, you want something he won't give. Let's talk about it. Negotiation is something like this. , it's normal to just talk for a few days. If that doesn't work, let Lu Liuguai come in!" The monkey shouted at the jade slip.

The other end of the jade slip was silent.

Without waiting for the other party to speak again, the monkey put the jade slip away directly.

Turning his head, he saw Yang Chan lying on the couch, watching him quietly through the gap in the ajar door.

After calming his breathing for a while, he opened the door and walked into the house.

"Li Jing's special envoy has arrived?"

"Yeah." Monkey blinked and avoided Yang Chan's gaze.

Yang Chan smiled lightly, peacefully and tenderly as she had never seen before.

However, that face still looked so weak.

She said slowly: "Why don't you go back? I don't need you to take care of me."

"Senior Brother Youquan said that your condition is not very stable. If anything changes, the fastest one here is me. If it doesn't work, I can send you to Xianyue Sanxing Cave. Besides, if you are missing one or two things, Pill. Only I can travel between heaven and earth at the fastest speed."

There was a pause. The monkey moved his lips slightly. He added: "It's okay over at Huaguo Mountain. Since the special envoy is here, it means it's safe for the time being."

"That's true, but after all, it's not as safe as your presence. Short Zui and Lu Liuguai are not yet ready to take on the overall situation." Yang Chan raised his head, smiled, and looked at the greenery in the courtyard through the window lattice. : "You didn't mention Huaguoshan to the two of them, right?"

"kindness."

"So. They will give the most appropriate advice. In fact, it is not necessary to go to this extent. If they knew the current situation in Huaguo Mountain, they would definitely advise you to go back first."

The monkey didn't speak, just sat there, staring at the empty ground beside him, his brows furrowed tightly.

Because you are worried about the situation in Huaguo Mountain? Or, because of guilt? Yang Chan didn't know, she just stared at him quietly.

After thinking for a long time, Yang Chan turned sideways. Stand up slowly with support from your hands.

"What are you doing?"

"Hel me up."

The monkey quickly helped him.

"Take me back to Huaguo Mountain."

"How is this possible..."

"Don't worry. I'm really fine. In fact, I understand a lot of pharmacology. Now I understand my situation and I won't mess around."

"No! This is not a joke!"

The two looked at each other, deadlocked.

After a long time, Yang Chan lowered his head and coughed twice, covering his chest and said: "How about asking Youquanzi to comment. I asked him, if you are listening, if he has no objections, you should be convinced?"

The monkey had to agree.

Not long after, Xiuyun found Youquanzi for the monkey.

As soon as he entered the door, before Yang Chan could speak, Youquanzi smiled and said, "The energy and blood are gradually recovering. You are recovering well."

Yang Chan, who was sitting on the couch, bowed slightly and said, "It's all thanks to the Great Immortal Youquan that Yang Chan saved his life."

Youquanzi stretched out his hand to take Yang Chan's pulse and sighed, "You should call me Uncle Youquan."

Yang Chan smiled and quickly changed her words: "Thank you, Uncle Youquan."

Ling Yunzi, who was walking behind, couldn't help but pout, with a look of helplessness on his face: "My 'master' hasn't even arrived yet, but your 'uncle' has called me first. Alas..."

Youquanzi tilted his face slightly, felt his pulse carefully for a while, and said with a sigh: "The recovery is good. In another ten or eight days, he should be fully recovered."

Yang Chan was silent for a moment and asked in a low voice: "If we go back to Huaguo Mountain now, it should be okay?"

"Are you going back now?" Youquanzi was slightly stunned, then released Yang Chan's pulse, stroking his long beard and said, "It's best to stay longer. It's not good to be tired from running back and forth before I've fully recovered. "

Monkey was about to speak, but Yang Chan grabbed his wrist.

Staring at Youquanzi, Yang Chan asked softly: "If I go back now, is there any danger?"

Youquanzi was stunned for a moment, then changed his words and asked, "Is there something going on in Huaguo Mountain?"

"It's a bit urgent." Yang Chan replied quickly.

"It won't be a problem if you go back now, I'm just a little tired. I'll prepare some medicine for you and take it back."

Yang Chan smiled and looked at the monkey.

The monkey sighed lightly and agreed.

Not long after, Youquanzi and Ling Yunzi prepared all the medicines that would be needed in the next few days, and prepared an extra dose in case of recurrence, and then sent Monkey and Yang Chan out of the yard.

Just as he was about to leave, another message came from Short Mouth, saying that the special envoy was noisy and arrogant, insisting on seeing the monkey, and the others did not recognize it.

Monkey was quite happy and replied directly: "Hang him up and beat him up, see if he has anything else to say."

After saying this, Lu Liuguai's voice came from the other side of the jade slip.

"When the two countries are at war, don't kill the envoy, Your Majesty! This is etiquette! etiquette!"

"Greetings to you, we are demons, does Heaven treat us as a 'country'?"

Regardless of Lu Liuguai's excuse, the monkey directly put away the jade slip, carried Yang Chan on his back, and roared away to Huaguo Mountain.

Along the way, he used his spiritual power to cover Yang Chan so well that the airflow from high altitude could not touch her body at all.

Lying on the monkey's back, Yang Chan gently rubbed the monkey's shoulder and asked, half asleep and half awake: "Why are you so nice to me? Isn't this part of the agreement?"

After being silent for a long time, the monkey looked directly at the light and shadow flowing in front of him and replied: "I have a premonition. I owe you. Maybe I will never be able to repay it in this life."

Yang Chan closed her eyes silently.

"If so. One day I break my promise and don't accept your request, will you blame me?"

"Yes." Yang Chan opened her eyes slightly, took a bite on the monkey's shoulder and said in a daze: "If you dare to break your promise, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life."

"Really? That's pretty good too." Monkey said half-jokingly.

On the clouds that looked like white snow, the monkey was protecting Yang Chan while using magic to gallop at high speed.

…

Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave. A brazier burns creakingly in the upper hall, lighting up the vast space.

More than a dozen monsters lined up on both sides, while Lu Liuguai and Duanzui stood beside the throne. Standing in the middle of the hall are the visiting heavenly official and two escorting heavenly generals.

The official had been waiting for a long time and was very impatient. He pointed at Lu Liuguai and shouted angrily: "I have come all the way to your poor and remote place. I have already given you enough face. Your leader is here now." They don’t even come out to see each other, and they don’t allow me to see King Guangmu, what are your intentions?”

"Tianguan, please calm down." Lu Liuguai said with a smile: "Our king is in a hurry, please wait. This matter of meeting Guangmu Tianwang is really not the decision of the two of us..."

Tianguan glanced at Lu Liuguai coldly, and said with a smile: "What are you going to do if you can't be the master? Sing an opera? Could it be that you monsters in the ravines still know how to perform?"

Lu Liuguai was immediately speechless.

The official ignored the change in his face and continued to curse: "I don't know the weather, don't understand etiquette, and trying to reason with monsters like you is really unnecessary! You should use swords and bows against monsters like you! What do you think you are when you send two people who can’t take charge and talk to me? Why do you think you’re so disrespectful? Huh, your leader really doesn’t know how high the sky is!”

Short Mouth's eyes widened and he was about to explode, but Lu Liuguai held him back.

After laughing awkwardly for a few times, Lu Liuguai bowed slightly, cupped his hands and said, "It stands to reason that you have come all the way, so it would be rude for our king to not be able to meet you. But you also came here on the order of King Li Tian, ​​why? , only you yourself know it clearly. If we can't reach a desired result, it won't be easy to explain when we go back, right? So, although we have some faults, please pay attention to your words."

At this statement, Tianguan was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look at Lu Liuguai a few times.

It was not like he had never seen monsters before, but in his eyes, there were only two types of monsters: the brave ones and the weak ones. He had never seen one like Lu Liuguai.

After a short pause, Lu Liuguai added: "Besides, we have never promised that if King Li Tianwang sends a special envoy, my king will receive him, right?"

Taking two deep breaths to calm down, the official straightened his back and said loudly: "Since you have admitted your fault, I will wait a little longer. But if I don't see your king by dusk, I will The officer had no choice but to go back home and report the truth to the King of Heaven. By then the army will be on the border, so I won’t be able to blame him."

"Thank you for your understanding." Lu Liuguai said politely.

Time passed bit by bit, and it was dusk in a blink of an eye.

Lu Liuguai and Duan Zui were both a little restless, and that official also had a headache.

The purpose of this trip is naturally to rescue King Guangmu as the top priority. This is nothing more than defeat. If the majestic King Guangmu, one of the four great kings of Nantianmen, slays demons and dies, when the news reaches the heaven, where will Li Jing's face be?

As long as there is a glimmer of hope, Li Jing doesn't want this to happen.

Although he was aggressive before, it was just a negotiation tactic. If the opponent feels that he wants something from him, wouldn't it be even more difficult to negotiate if the opponent asks for a high price?

Looking at the appearance of the two monsters in front of him, the visiting Tianguan felt that the other leader's absence did not sound like he was lying. But the harsh words had been put aside, and now that dusk had arrived, how to postpone the deadline was a headache.

Just when the official was worried, the monkey had already settled down and Yang Chan walked in quickly from outside the cave.

Seeing the monkey, all the monsters knelt down and saluted.

After kneeling down, the Heavenly Official naturally understood the identity of the monkey.

Before the Heavenly Official could start to look the monkey up and down and organize the corresponding speech, the monkey said directly: "Easy, if you have any requirements, just say it."

The official was stunned for a while and hesitantly said: "Let go, let King Guangmu go."

"OK!"

Everyone present, whether they were monsters, heavenly officials, or even the generals escorting the heavenly officials, were all dumbfounded.

So simple?

I saw the monkey striding up to the throne, turned around and sat down, stretched out his hand and said: "Exchange for the flat peaches!" (To be continued...)

ps: No, this is an additional update. There are 5 more left to add.

Huhu...
