The Monkey King

Early the next morning, before Monkey could figure out when and how to take office, a suspended ship had already docked at the edge of the pumice stone where the Royal Horse Prison was located. Two heavenly officials, one civil and one military, stepped off the ship, along with about fifty heavenly soldiers wearing golden armor.

The civil official looked to be about forty or fifty years old. He wore a black hat on his head and a white official robe. He was so thin that he could be blown away by a gust of wind. He walked cautiously.

The military official looked to be in his forties or fifties, but he was tall and round, with a figure that was more than a head taller than a monkey. He was wearing a golden chainmail armor and looked majestic.

As soon as the two people set foot on the land of the Royal Horse Prison, they called Yunshuang Liu Erzhao, who was watching blankly not far away, to question him.

In the monkey's room, Feng Chime opened the window a little and looked at the suspended ship quietly, then turned around and asked, "Who could it be?"

"It's someone from Pantaoyuan who came to pick me up for my appointment." The monkey was lying half-lying, squinting his eyes and letting out a long yawn, and said, "The civil official is Zhou Siyuan, and the military official is Zhang Xiaoyuan."

"How do you know?" Feng Chime asked.

The monkey fiddled with the bamboo slips in his hands and said casually: "The 'senior' told me yesterday. I also know that Zhou Siyuan has been working in Pantaoyuan for ten years, which is 3,600 years in the mortal world. He is considered an old man in Pantaoyuan. As for Zhang Jiaoyuan, he had just been transferred from Nantianmen, and his cultivation had reached the state of transformation. Unfortunately, he had no military merit and could not be promoted in the army, but he had saved a lot of gold essence. So, he spent some Jin Jing bought some connections and was transferred to Pantaoyuan as a schoolmaster. It looked like he was being demoted, but in fact he was promoted. Previously, the position of Siyuan was vacant, and these two people had the final say in Pantaoyuan, so it was really a pleasure to get something out of it."

As he spoke, he sighed: "This gold spirit is really worth the money. A mere three hundred gold spirits actually asked so many questions."

Before the monkey could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door from Yunshuang.

Across the door. Yun Shuang said softly: "Sir, someone has come from Pantaoyuan. They said they would take you to your appointment. They are really waiting in the hall."

"Let them wait." The monkey said in a long voice: "Just say...just say that I haven't woken up yet. Let them wait in the hall first. You can accompany me and make tea. If you don't want to wait any more, , just go back and come back tomorrow."

Yun Shuang hesitated for a moment, then Fu Shen said "Promise" and turned to leave.

After Yun Shuang left, Feng Ling sat down next to the monkey and asked in a low voice: "Didn't you say that the most important task now is to gain time? If you do this, will you offend people in vain?"

The monkey glanced at the wind chime. He said calmly: "It's not that I want to offend them, but I have already offended them. Besides, I haven't figured out how to take office yet."

"Haven't you decided how to take up the post?"

The monkey reached out and took out his ears, and said leisurely: "It's obvious that the Jade Emperor wants to mess with me. But heaven has its own rules. The old man has something to say first, and he issued the imperial edict himself. With a clear sword and a clear gun. Come, it's always a little unjustifiable. After all, he is also afraid of being caught by others. So, now he wants to catch my sore feet, so that he can justifiably operate on me and retract the previous imperial edict. In this way, their conquest of Huaguo Mountain will be It’s natural.”

"Then we don't do anything. Won't there be no painful feet for them to catch?"

The monkey laughed after hearing this. Said: "If only it were that simple. Pantaoyuan is a fire pit. They are not here to pick me up for my appointment. They are here to pick me up to jump into the fire pit."

Feng Ling thought for a long time, shook his head and said, "I don't understand. Didn't that person say yesterday that Si Yuan was a fat employee?"

"Yes for others, but not for me." The monkey reached out and touched the head of the wind chime and said: "It would be fine if it wasn't a fat chai, but it would be more dangerous if it was a fat chai. If you want to stay, you have to listen to me. ,do you know?"

Feng Chime nodded silently.

…

In the hall, Yunshuang respectfully served tea to the two heavenly officials, and then stood aside quietly.

Just staying like this, about half an hour passed. Nazhang Zhang couldn't help but become a little impatient. He turned his face and asked in a low voice: "Does Mr. Sun usually sleep until this time?"

Yunshuang replied respectfully: "My lord, your daily schedule is irregular. Sometimes if you get busy, it's normal for your day and night to be reversed."

"Day and night are reversed?" Zhang Yuanyuan snorted coldly, and was about to open his mouth to say something when he suddenly saw Zhou Siyuan winking at him and gently waving his half-covered hand towards him to signal him not to speak. .

In desperation, Zhang Yuanxuan had no choice but to close his mouth and continue to sit.

An entire hour passed, and the monkey hadn't appeared yet. Zhang Yuan's breathing became heavier and heavier. He looked at Zhou Siyuan from time to time. His buttocks sitting on the futon kept moving, looking extremely impatient.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Siyuan had no choice but to say to Yunshuang: "Why don't you bother Xian'e to wait for me and see if Sun Siyuan has gotten up?"

Yun Shuang nodded silently, walked out of the door, walked along the corridor to Monkey's door, knocked on the door, and before she opened her mouth, she heard Monkey say in the room: "Say I'm not awake and let them continue to wait. If you really can’t wait any longer, go back first.”

At dusk, Yun Shuang returned to the hall from the monkey's room for the fourth time, and what she brought back was still the same sentence. Zhou Siyuan suddenly realized something from these words.

Seeing that waiting any longer was not an option, the two had no choice but to leave first on the grounds that it was getting late.

"They said they'd pick you up tomorrow?"

"That's what they said." Yun Shuang said softly.

The monkey blinked his eyes and raised his head slightly, thought for a while, and said: "Okay, you can go down."

After Yunshuang left, Fengling asked in a low voice: "Then we will go to Pantaoyuan tomorrow?"

"Go? What are you going for?" Monkey grinned and said, "We will continue to postpone tomorrow. The imperial edict does not specify how soon I must take office."

After that, he lay on the couch with his arms pillowed on his head and looked at the ceiling quietly.

"Is this good? How long can this be delayed? The imperial edict has been issued, and we will definitely not be able to let us continue to delay like this. And your lie is really a bit too... The whole world knows that you are in the realm of transformation. Transformation. There is such a thing as oversleeping in the divine realm? Can they believe it?"

"Whether you believe it or not and whether they want to break up with each other are two different things. Anyway, it's just a day to delay now, and we'll wait until we can't delay it any longer."

Feng Chime couldn't help but frowned and fell silent.

After a long time, the monkey turned his face to look at her and said softly: "It is definitely unreasonable to do this. But in the sky and the earth, do you know how many things can be done in Huaguo Mountain in one year? Don't talk about it now, I am here At that time, Huaguoshan could arm tens of thousands of demon troops a year, build hundreds of warships, and store countless pills. The Tianhe navy could not do these things. Although they also garrisoned below the sixth heaven, But they have to rely on supplies from heaven to expand, and in any case they are not as fast as we can use local materials. This is the difference between the Central Army and the feudal lord. Time is on our side. For this year's time, it is not appropriate to do anything What’s wrong with things that are reasonable?”

After saying that, the monkey sighed: "The most important thing is that as long as I don't go to work for a day, I won't have a sore leg for them to catch for a day."

…

In the cabin, Zhou Siyuan stretched out his hand to summon a heavenly soldier, and whispered in a low voice: "Detour to Taibai Pavilion."

"promise."

After sending away the heavenly soldiers, Zhou Siyuan folded his arms, walked slowly to sit next to Zhang Yuanyuan, and sighed in a low voice: "It seems there is some trouble."

"Trouble?" Zhang Jiaoyuan snorted coldly, punched his thigh hard, and said bitterly: "Can this monkey continue to refuse to take office? As soon as he takes office...he will suffer!"

"I have to go. The imperial edict has been issued. How can he not go? Unless he wants to go against it." Zhou Siyuan's eyes rolled slowly, and he frowned in confusion and said, "But... Yu The horse supervisor is so busy day and night, do you believe this nonsense? He is obviously wary of us."

Zhang Campus asked in a low voice: "Isn't he just staged?"

"He hasn't even taken office yet, but he's so staged that he doesn't even see his subordinates who come to pick him up. Only a fool can do this kind of thing." Zhou Siyuan laughed and said: "He is the demon king. The Tianhe navy will eat him. Damn, there are too many to count. How can you be a fool?"

"That's true. I asked my former colleagues and they all said that King Li Tianwang suffered a lot from him. The whole Nantianmen was led by his nose."

With a long sigh, Zhou Siyuan said: "So, we must be careful. Fortunately, Lord Xing is here to help us this time. In any case, let's listen to what Lord Xing has to say."

At this point, the two of them smiled at each other.

…

In the royal study.

"Didn't go to take office?" The Jade Emperor slowly put down the memorial in his hand.

Roller Curtain bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Siyuan and Xiaoyuan waited for him in the Royal Horse Prison for a whole day today, but in the end he didn't even see him. They had no choice but to return in anger."

The Jade Emperor's eyes couldn't help but narrow into slits, and he chuckled: "Does he know what I want to do and doesn't want to take office?"

With that said, he folded the memorial in his hand, threw it to the corner of the table, and said, "Where is it over at Yaochi?"

"I heard that after receiving the news yesterday, the Queen Mother lost her temper in Yaochi and even smashed the three-foot exquisite bottle placed in the hall. Last night, Taibai Jinxing went to Pantaoyuan again and met Siyuan and the campus. Perhaps it is for this reason that the Siyuan and the campus went to the Royal Horse Prison to pick up the monkey early this morning."

The corners of the Jade Emperor's mouth couldn't help but raise slightly.

He lowered his eyes, supported the dragon case, and slowly tapped the table with his five fingers: "It's true that you are afraid of being stunned if you are horizontal, and you are afraid of death if you are stunned." When the Queen Mother encountered this wild monkey, she could only I was so angry that I jumped on my feet. Hehehehe. Roll up the curtain!"

"I'm here!"

"Early tomorrow morning... no, the day after tomorrow, let him delay for another day to accumulate more grievances. At that time, I will send an oral message to him to take office immediately. That monkey is not an idiot. He is in this situation, and he will definitely not make mistakes easily. . I will come up with a conspiracy to force Yaochi to take action. It's better to make the scene more joyful... It's best to expose the old things in Pantaoyuan and deal with them together. Hahahaha. "

"No!" (To be continued ~^~)
