The Monkey King

Land suspended above heavy clouds.

The huge port no longer has the usual layers of warships, and even the number of guards guarding it is much smaller.

Due to the shortage of manpower, the two posts in the past can only be used as one post, so that the entire military port looks deserted and lonely at the moment.

A strong wind passed by, tearing at the military flag.

On the huge roller adjustment frame, a heavenly general leaned on a halberd and looked at the rising sun in the distance with squinted eyes.

"boom!"

"What's the sound?" someone exclaimed.

"Something seems to have fallen. Take a look!"

Looking down, the general saw dozens of heavenly soldiers surrounding a corner.

"What is this? A dead body?"

"How is that possible? Where did this dead body come from?"

"It seems he died not long ago."

The hurriedly arriving Heavenly General pushed aside the Heavenly Soldiers who formed a circle, and suddenly took a breath of cold air.

What he saw in front of him was a bloody corpse, covered in injuries, with missing limbs, and its face was so mutilated that it was beyond recognition.

Due to the fall from a high altitude, it looked like not a single bone in his body was intact, even his brain...

"What's going on?" he yelled.

One of the soldiers pointed to the southeast and shouted: "There is someone over there!" The general looked up quickly, but only saw a shadow far away in the clouds and disappeared.

"You! Go and report to General Tianfu. You guys, take the body to the Medical Department! Others stay at their posts and be on guard!"

…

In the small room, several medical officers gathered around and carefully examined the corpse.

Just beside them, in the corner of the room, Canopy stared blankly, sitting quietly and blankly, staring at the motionless ground in front of him.

The hands were placed on the armrests of the chair and clasped tightly.

Tianfu, who was standing aside, bowed slightly and looked solemn.

Just an hour ago, Tianpeng rushed back to Yunyu Tiangang from Nanzhanbuzhou.

Because the Six Demon Kings missed the opportunity to attack. Now the fleet over there has completely escaped danger and entered the counterattack stage. It's a pity that the six courageous bandits have completely abandoned the base camp of Shuangyu Mountain and are hiding in Tibet with their remnants.

As a result, it may be difficult to achieve any results for a while.

Tianpeng had no choice but to hand over the command to Tian Nei as the deputy general and rush back to Yunyu Tiangang to prepare for the next plan.

No one expected...

The light shines through the window lattice on the canopy's face, as cold as an ice cellar. There is no trace of warmth. In fact, everyone had anticipated this scene, but they did not expect it to appear in such a way.

Looking up, Tianfu could only sigh helplessly.

A medical officer bowed and tiptoed to the canopy, cupped his hands and said: "Marshal, the identity of the deceased has been determined."

Tianpeng opened his mouth slightly, and after a long time, he said: "Yes, who..."

At this moment. The voice had trembled so much that it had completely changed its tone.

The medical officer lowered his head and said, "Yes, General Tianheng."

With a "bang" sound, the armrests of the chair were crushed to pieces due to the unbearable force.

Amidst the flying wood chips, Canopy slowly and deeply closed his eyes for a long time. Can't say a word.

Tian Fu, who had been standing aside, quietly winked at the medical officers, and the medical officers exited the door knowingly. Before leaving, they covered Tian Heng's body with a white cloth.

Only Tianpeng, Tianfu, and Tian Heng were left in the room, and everything seemed to be frozen in an instant.

Just sit quietly, closing your eyes tightly, until the sun sets in the west. Tianpeng slowly opened his eyes, took a deep breath and said, "Let's give him a grand burial..."

The eye sockets that were already covered with bloodshot eyes were slightly red.

"How to write on the tablet?" Tianfu bowed and asked.

Tianpeng pursed his lips, unable to speak for a moment.

Yes, how to write on the tablet?

Is his name Tianheng?

No.

Tianheng is just a title given to him by Heaven.

In the bloody battle in Ningxi, he was stabbed fifteen times, but he still held on for eight days with inferior troops, waiting for reinforcements to arrive. After the war, Tianpeng asked for merit for his outstanding achievements, and the Heavenly Court gave him the title of "Tianheng", which became everyone's name for him from then on.

before that. Tianpeng didn't even know there was such a person in his army.

I remember that on the day of the celebration, this honest guy drunkenly pulled the canopy and introduced himself...

It's a pity that he didn't remember it after all.

In Heaven, for most of the immortal generals, their original names are not important, what is important is their titles. And when this Tian Heng died, another Tian Heng would soon take his place.

The vague name, and now even the appearance is gradually blurred.

This general who had been with him for five hundred years had the lowest qualifications and the least training among the nine stars, but he was the most active in combat.

"What's his fault? Even if there is a fault, it's my fault. Everything he did was my order." He pursed his lips and said with slight trembling.

In addition to Tian Ren, he was also at the forefront of the Nantianmen soldiers' remonstrance, and was punished for this.

I didn't expect that he would die so miserably in the end, and even his soul would fall into the hands of the demon monkey...

Tianpeng bit his lip tightly and drew blood.

Holding on to the coffee table, he stood up tremblingly and walked step by step outside, not daring to look back at the corpse under the white cloth.

"Marshal, are you okay?"

Tianfu was frightened and wanted to step forward to help him, but was pushed away by Tianpeng.

"I...I'm fine." The cool wind from high altitude came towards me, Canpeng raised his head, wrapped his cloak tightly, and widened his eyes hard: "Let's finish Tianheng's matter first."

"But... Marshal, why don't you take a rest first?"

"I said I'm fine, don't you understand?" Tianpeng shouted loudly.

Tianfu was completely shocked.

The sound rippled in the empty sky harbor, and the guards on guard all looked at the two men in horror.

He calmed down his expression slightly, lowered his head, and said softly: "Let's go, time is running out. Call everyone together, and finish all Tianheng's affairs now. After a while, I will have to rush to the east." Better than China."

…

"Marshal, what grade should be used for General Tianheng's funeral?"

…

"This is an inscription prepared for General Tian Heng. I would like the marshal to take a look at it."

…

"General Tian Heng has no heirs or relatives. Therefore, I am afraid that the pension cannot be paid. How to deal with it depends on the marshal."

…

"It's war time. I'm afraid most of the generals won't be able to come back. This is the proposed invitation list. I'd like the marshal to take a look."

…

"General Tian Heng left a will. If he unfortunately dies one day, he will donate his belongings to our army... How to deal with it is up to the marshal to decide."

…

The bamboo slips that were placed in front of the canopy looked bloody.

"Marshal, the name of General Tianheng is on the document that has been written before and is going to be sent to heaven to plead for credit for the battles of Xiniu Hezhou and Beiju Luzhou. Do you want to cross it out and replace it with the names of other soldiers?"

"No, that's what he deserves." Tianpeng said.

"But. If the reward from Heaven is to increase the rank, General Tianheng has already... In this case, I'm afraid..."

Tianpeng didn't speak, just looked at him quietly, and the clerk immediately understood.

In the blink of an eye. The bright moon is already high.

A heavenly soldier pushed open the door and walked into the room and said: "Commander, the envoy from heaven has arrived and said he has an edict to be announced."

"Is it an imperial edict?" Tianpeng rubbed his temples, took a deep breath, stood up slowly while holding on to the armrest, and walked out the door.

…

Yunyu Tiangang Hall.

"By God's blessing, the True Jade Emperor issued an edict: It was the time when the Tianhe navy was conquering Shuangyu Mountain. An epidemic broke out in Nanzhan Buzhou, and thousands of lives were lost. I also heard that the Tianhe navy in Huaguo Mountain had improperly deployed its troops and suffered many losses. I I am heartbroken and heartbroken. I have specially ordered General Zuo Yuan of the North Pole, Grand Marshal Tianpeng Zhenjun, to return to heaven immediately to report his duties without any mistakes! I hereby—!"

He slowly put down the yellow silk and looked at the canopy kneeling in front of him. Rolling the blinds said softly: "Marshal, take the order."

"Your Majesty Tianpeng, I accept the decree." Tianpeng kowtowed, took the imperial edict from the rolling curtain with both hands, and stood up slowly.

He took a slight step forward. Rolling curtains said in a low voice: "Marshal, your majesty could have postponed the matter until after the war, but the fact that Huaguo Mountain was defeated... However, the marshal can rest assured during this trip. If the Nanzhan continental epidemic is confirmed, The illness has nothing to do with the Tianhe Navy, and Your Majesty will definitely clear the Marshal's name and ensure that the Marshal is safe."

Staring at the piece of yellow silk in his hand, Tianpeng said calmly: "I'm going to heaven to report my work, what about Huaguo Mountain?"

"Your Majesty means that the demon slaying in Huaguo Mountain is postponed."

Canopy chuckled: "Delay?"

Rolling curtains swallowed dryly and said: "The matter is serious and urgent, please don't delay the marshal, and return to the heaven immediately with the end of the general."

Lowering his head, Tianpeng said leisurely: "Is it serious or urgent? It seems that everything I do here is light."

Slowly raising his head, holding the piece of yellow silk, Tianpeng looked around with cold eyes at the fully armed Heavenly Guards behind the roller curtain, and said with a faint smile: "Is the general of the roller curtain going to take Tianpeng back for questioning?"

"This..." The roller curtain was extremely embarrassed and quickly said: "The marshal's words are serious. Whether you are guilty or not is not yet determined. Besides, who dares to force you in this Yunyu Tiangang? These are just equipped as usual. It's just a guard. Your Majesty sent the general here this time, just because he was afraid that other people would come and the marshal wouldn't believe it, so..."

Having said this, Roller Blind raised his eyelids slightly and stared at the canopy.

Outside the main hall, waves of swords and flags echoed.

In the hall, all the generals gritted their teeth, their faces expressionless and silent.

A gust of wind swept in from outside the hall, raising the white cloak behind the canopy.

He casually handed the yellow silk to Tianfu aside. Tianpeng looked at the rolling curtain and said softly: "Since I don't intend to take it by force, I would like to ask General Rolling Curtain to report back to His Majesty: 'I will be outside, and I will not accept your order.'"

Suddenly, the roller blind was completely stunned.

"Marshal, what are you..."

Before he could react, all the generals around him had their hands on the hilts of their swords.

Faintly, the rolling curtain could already feel that countless heavenly soldiers were surrounding the main hall.

"Marshal, His Majesty has promised to find out the truth, so why do you have to..."

Under everyone's gaze, Tianpeng turned around slowly, and when he passed by Tianfu, he reached out and patted the veteran's shoulder, and whispered: "I still have something to do. Tianfu, see you off."

"promise!"
