The Monkey King

In the dark room, Canopy lowered his head and stood motionless in front of his desk with his eyes closed.

He knew very well that the decision he made just now might push him, and even the entire Tianhe Navy, into the abyss.

But so what?

He had no other, better choice.

The missed five years gave Yao a rare chance to breathe. He had already made one mistake and could not make another one.

A cool breeze blew in through the window lattice, ruffling the hair hanging on the forehead and flipping the books on the table, becoming the only monotonous sound in the room.

Tianfu came from outside the door and was slightly stunned when he saw the situation inside.

Tian Bing, who was waiting on the side, was about to speak, but saw Tian Fu wave his hand towards him and shut his mouth knowingly.

Lifting his legs, Tianfu crossed the threshold.

"Sent away?". Canopy asked in a low voice.

"Send him off." Tianfu walked up to Tianpeng step by step and whispered: "No weapons were used. General Curtain Curtain asked Tianfu to ask the marshal to think twice before acting."

"Think twice?" Tianpeng laughed.

After two brief sentences, there was endless silence.

After a long time, Tianpeng whispered: "If you have anything to ask, just ask." Tianfu looked at Tianpeng and hesitated for a moment, lowered his head and replied: "Tianfu has nothing to ask."

Canopy smiled: "Thank you."

"This is what Tianfu should do, the marshal doesn't need to say this." Tianfu cupped his hands.

Gazing at the dim light outside the house leaving a simple figure on the table through the window lattice, Canopy said blankly: "When he comes back, I'm afraid we will not only be unable to invite reinforcements in the future. We will also be cut off from supplies. There are already Hungry tiger. No retreat. Putting the whole army in danger. Do you think it is worth it?"

"The marshal thinks it's worth it, and Tianfu thinks it's worth it." Tianfu said.

The cool breeze penetrated from outside and swept every corner of the room.

The canopy tightened the cloak slightly, and he still stood blankly. After a long time, he smiled faintly: "Thank you, thank you. But I am sorry for your trust. The 90,000-strong army defeated Huaguoshan, Tianheng A tragic death. In the end, the entire Tianhe naval force was at a loss. If I hadn’t insisted on attacking Huaguo Mountain, maybe... we wouldn’t have ended up in this situation."

"A warrior will die on the battlefield. That is an honor. There should be no complaints and there can be no complaints." Tianfu said softly: "Didn't the marshal say that? 'I have received the salary from heaven and the incense in the world, so I can afford to wear this. The armor must be worthy of the flag, and you can't just think about staying out of it." Like Tianfu, all the soldiers in the army take this sentence as their creed. Others can stay out of it and live quietly. That is other people's business. We are soldiers, You should abide by the bounden duty of a soldier. You should guard the Three Realms, you should defend the Heavenly Court, and you should not be able to retreat even half a step." Tianpeng opened his eyes slightly and stared at Tianfu quietly.

"If the marshal takes the order to go to the Lingxiao Palace this time, although things may not be as bad as imagined, the attack on the Huaguo Mountain will definitely be delayed. The Huaguo Mountain has developed to its current situation in only ten years. , if he is given a few more years, I'm afraid..."

"You are a marshal and you are willing to take the risk of 'rebellion' for this. How can we and other soldiers question it? Therefore, Tianfu has no questions to ask. Tianfu believes that the whole army will not have any questions." Questions to ask.”

Having said this, Tianfu knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Tianfu cannot share the situation faced by the marshal. All Tianfu can do is believe. That is, the marshal asked Tianfu to lead his troops to kill the Lingxiao Palace. Tianfu There will be no hesitation! Marshal please don’t have any worries.”

After saying that, he punched his chest hard with his fist.

The sound of clanging armor echoed in the small room.

The moon traveling through the clouds finally fully revealed its brilliance. A gentle breeze blew by, causing the green leaves on the branches outside the house to sway.

In the dark room, with the faint moonlight coming in from outside, Canopy's slightly red and bloodshot eyes were reflected. Tianfu's wrinkled face was reflected.

For a long time... After pursing his lips and gritting his teeth, Tianpeng managed to squeeze out a smile and sighed: "Tianfu, am I stupid?"

"The Marshal is not stupid, it's just that the world has changed. Too many people think they are smart, so that the really smart people look like fools."

…

At this time, look south to the central part of the continent.

A small stream meanders among the mountains.

The huge Bull Demon King knelt on the edge of the stream, took up the water with his four-fingered hand, took two sharp sips, and then splashed the rest on his face.

Wiping his face, he panted heavily and raised his head to stare blankly at the clouds on the horizon.

"In the end, it's just hiding here and there again..."

In the open space not far from him, countless monsters wearing broken armor were lying in a huddle, all listlessly.

These two thousand monsters are the last possessions of the Shuangyu Mountain forces.

Not long after, a figure flew down from the clouds and landed steadily in front of the Bull Demon King.

"How's it going?" The Bull Demon King asked eagerly.

The Macaque King licked his dry lips and said, "The army is coming this way. It seems we have to move again."

"Are you moving again?" The Peng Demon King, who was leaning under the shade of a tree, stood up in shock. He seemed to have accidentally torn a wound, and the facial features on his face were suddenly twisted into a ball.

The sitting Demon King sighed and stood up slowly. He shook his robe and said expressionlessly: "I'm afraid I won't have to move him after a few more moves."

"What do you mean by that?" Demon King Peng raised his head slightly and glanced at Demon King Jiao.

"See for yourself." The Jiao Demon King pointed at the ordinary monsters not far away, and said with a sly smile: "When we first evacuated Shuangyu Mountain, we brought five thousand monsters with us. We didn't fight a single battle after we evacuated, and only now have we How many days are left? Haha, I shouldn’t have missed the opportunity to attack the Tianhe navy in the first place. I didn’t expect that after they recovered their breath, they not only didn’t leave, but continued to attack..."

That smile shocked the other demon kings.

Is this guy sick? Is it worth being happy to have a lot of words?

"You!" Demon King Peng was furious, clenched his fists and shouted: "You agreed to give up the attack on the Tianhe navy at the beginning, but now you want to change your mind and settle old scores, right? It's a lot of words."

After this burst of roaring, he was coughing so much that he could hardly breathe.

Normally, most of his injuries should have been cured by now. Unfortunately, he has been constantly being transferred over the past few days and there is no time for him to recuperate. In the end, despite the aid of the elixir, the injury worsened slightly.

Of course, the more important reason is that when Xiao Bailong provides elixirs, quantity is the first priority, and most of the elixirs he gets are the ones that cannot be used again.

The Jiao Demon King stretched his neck and glanced at the few drops of black blood that fell on the green grass in front of the Peng Demon King, and chuckled: "When did I say I agreed? At most, I didn't object."

"You——!" Demon King Peng was furious for a while. After holding it in for a long time, he said shiveringly: "Is it me, Dapeng, who has the final say here? At the beginning...when I proposed it, all of you except the eldest brother agreed. Do you want to rely on me now?"

Holding his chest, he raised his head and couldn't catch his breath.

"At first, I thought you and your fourth brother were trying hard to stop provoking the Tianhe navy, so we compromised in order to avoid splitting! How did it turn into..."

"Shut up——! Stop arguing!" The Bull Demon King on the side roared: "Isn't it annoying enough now? Anyone who makes any more noise in the future will get out!"

The two demon kings looked at each other and stopped.

The six demon kings stayed in silence for a while. The Bull Demon King held back his breath and said sternly: "Lao Wu, you stay vigil tonight. If you encounter any deserters, catch them and behead them in public tomorrow! Let's see who else dares to escape!" …

The Macaque King slapped his stick and immediately replied: "Okay."

The Jiao Demon King couldn't help pouting when he heard this: "Actually, I can't blame them. What future do you think of following us? Such a large group of monsters can be found by the Tianhe navy at random. Following us, they can only flee all the way." Instead of doing this, it would be much safer to sneak away secretly.”

"That's right." The Macaque King thought for a moment, holding the stick and jokingly said: "What you said makes sense. Even I want to run away. How about I run away tonight while keeping watch? Already?"

The Bull Demon King raised his head and rolled his eyes at him, saying nothing.

The Jiao Demon King came next to the Bull Demon King and said leisurely: "However, I have a way to solve this problem."

Just when he was about to show off, the Bull Demon King unexpectedly turned around and grabbed his collar and lifted it up: "Damn it, you're still beating around the bush now. If you have something to say, say it quickly! If you have farts, say it quickly!"

"Brother! Don't! Brother, let me down first! Let me down..."

All the demon kings around him couldn't help but laugh, making the Jiao Demon King blush.

After straightening his clothes, he coughed awkwardly and said, "Actually, the demons are running away mainly because there is no hope for them if they follow us. So why don't we give them hope."

"Can you tell me the important point?" The Bull Demon King shouted angrily.

Demon King Jiao nodded quickly and said, "Let's tell them that we will go to Huaguo Mountain to support them. Once we reach Huaguo Mountain, we will have a peaceful life."

As soon as these words came out, all the demon kings looked towards him.

The Demon King said he was going to support Huaguo Mountain, which was a rare thing. Could it be that the Tianhe navy was really frightened? many words

"With what happened before, can they still accept us?" the Macaque King said with a smile.

Waving his hands, the Jiao Demon King glanced at the group of monsters in the distance and lowered his voice: "Let's just talk about it, we don't really want to do it. Let's tell them to go to Huaguo Mountain, and then we can avoid the Tianhe Navy." An excuse to take them in a circle. Anyway, the Tianhe navy fleet is not as fast as us and cannot catch up with us. How we go is not up to us? As long as the overall direction is eastward, it will be fine. This way, we will go around him for a year and a half. Zaidi, the Battle of Huaguoshan should have been over long ago.”

Suddenly, all the demon kings were moved.

"If Huaguoshan wins by then, how can the Tianhe navy have time to care about our nonsense? If the Tianhe navy wins, we will be scattered and we will hide wherever we can. Do you think this is the truth? Son?"

ps: Uh, no more updates? Am I a bit screwed up?
