The Monkey King

Amidst the roar, the Nantian Gate opened again.

Clouds and mist drift.

The monkey raised his eyes and saw that the people standing inside the door were still Li Jing, Nezha, and Qingxin, and he couldn't help but frowned.

Li Jing quietly winked at Qing Xin.

Qingxin nodded slightly, stepped forward, and walked slowly towards the monkey.

Behind him, Li Jing and his son followed closely.

The monkey held the golden hoop crookedly, and laughed from a distance: "Didn't I say I don't want this imperial envoy? Is King Li Tian old, his ears are not working properly, or something?"

Li Jing smiled awkwardly.

All the way to the monkey, the three of them stopped. Li Jing and Nezha both bowed and raised their hands in salute, but Qing Xinqian stood with his eyes wandering. No matter where he placed his hand, something seemed wrong.

The monkey looked at the three of them and sighed: "Why, are they all mute?"

Qingxin lowered his head slightly, coughed twice and said, "This is the master's wish for me to continue to be the imperial envoy. If you have any objections, you can talk to him."

"Are you using the old man to suppress me?" Monkey was stunned, waved his hand and said: "Okay, I won't care about this with you, where is my food? Also, don't mention your requests to me again. I I come here to ask for things, not to bargain.”

Li Jing quietly nodded to Qing Xin.

Seeing this, Qingxin took a deep breath and said: "I will give you food, but I'm afraid I can't give it in the amount you want, and the way I give it can't be what you want. I hope you can understand, Heaven. There are also difficulties in Heaven. .”

The monkey slowly raised his head, looked at Li Jing, then looked at Qingxin and said, "Then what are you going to do? Let's talk about it."

With this question, Qingxin looked at Li Jing again, but this time Li Jing simply took a step back.

Without any choice. Qingxin had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty means that you cannot give food directly. This is against the rules of governance in heaven. The original plan, since it is a man-made disaster, let it develop, just to teach mortals a lesson. But since you brought it up I don’t want to refute your face. I can provide disaster relief, but I can’t do what you said.”

The monkey nodded and said, "Go on. Go on."

"What your Majesty means is that if you give food directly, it will definitely give the world a thought of getting something for nothing. No one can tell what will happen next. Therefore, other ways can be used to alleviate the disaster."

"What way?"

"By putting some livestock in the woods, putting some fish in the ponds, rivers, lakes..."

Monkey's brows could not help but frown: "You mean, the Jade Emperor is going to send a hundred thousand troops to help me do this?"

Qingxin blinked her eyes and said: "In short, there are ways. The disaster can definitely be alleviated, but it may not be possible to ensure that the people of the Wuji Kingdom don't have to worry about eating and drinking as you said."

The monkey thought for a moment and replied: "What if there is not enough food by then?"

"Not enough is definitely not enough. Basically, it means ensuring that there will be no widespread famine. Time is running out now. What you want is food for a year. If you delay it any longer, you will probably have enough food in the mortal world." It's a year later. If you're still worried, I can be a hostage and accompany you."

"You? As a hostage?"

Qingxin nodded slightly and looked at the monkey with some anxiety.

For a moment, the two people looked at each other.

After a long time, the monkey chuckled: "Thank you for reminding me, but forget it, I still want King Li Tianwang as a hostage."

Said. The monkey had already walked to Li Jing's side and put a hand on Li Jing's shoulder.

Suddenly, Li Jing was so excited that he broke into a cold sweat.

The monkey said with a smile: "This heaven can be quite boring sometimes, why don't you come to the mortal world with me?"

"Great... Great Sage, I still have important things to do in heaven..."

"Is it important? You mean, my business is 'nothing'?"

Li Jing was shocked and quickly shook his head and waved his hands: "No, no! Great Sage, the general has no such intention! It's just..."

"You just don't want to be rewarded?" Looking at Li Jing, the monkey's eyes slowly narrowed into a slit.

In an instant, Li Jing's heart skipped a beat, he quickly wiped his sweat and said seriously: "I understand, I will descend to the earth with the Great Sage right now!"

"That's right." The monkey patted Li Jing's back with a smile, gave Qingxin a demonstrative look, and pulled Li Jing towards the Nantianmen.

Qingxin's brows were frowned so tightly that her teeth were about to be broken.

She really couldn't figure out what was so good about this monkey, why did both Queer and Wind Chime fall in love with it? Not only did she fall in love with her, but she also loved her regardless of the situation. In the end, it even cost her own life, but she still had no regrets...

She really wanted to stay away from this monkey, it was best not to meet him forever, it was best not to have such a past event at all, but she had the memory of two lives in front of her.

That feeling is hidden in your blood, seeping into your bone marrow. No matter whether you hate it or reject it, you can't get rid of it no matter what. Maybe... this is true love. It's not because of what's good about him. There's no interest involved. It's just the simplest feeling, but it makes people never forget it.

If this happened to her, she would inevitably laugh at him. In the eyes of immortal cultivators, love is simply an act that is not doing the right thing.

But now she couldn't even laugh, because she suddenly felt like she was a joke. What a ridiculous feeling it is to like something because it does not belong to you, or because of a memory from a previous life.

Faintly, she hated herself a little.

Arriving at the gate of Nantianmen, Li Jing ordered preparations. Soon, the vanguard troops with higher cultivation levels were ready to leave.

Looking at the Nantianmen generals and monkeys flying away in the sky, Qingxin hesitated for a long time, and finally followed them.

At this time, in the distance where no one was paying attention, among the clouds and mist, Subhuti was watching quietly. After a long time, he sighed lightly, turned around, and left.

…

at this time. A month has passed since the monkey left the Silky Chicken Country.

The entire disaster situation was obviously worse than before.

However, the crisis faced by rolling shutters is no longer just as simple as the worsening of the disaster.

A large number of refugees entered the city, turning the entire capital into a refugee camp. The continuous fighting caused by the shortage of food in the city exhausted the troops who were already complaining.

Initially, despite widespread uprisings across the country, years of unrest led to famine. But various problems in the capital seem to be within control. On the one hand, the prestige of rolling shutters in the capital is obviously higher than in other places, and the implementation of various government orders is relatively better. On the other hand, the capital city was right under his nose. If there was any slight disturbance, he would know it immediately.

After all, he is from Taiyijin Fairyland, so this matter can't trouble him.

Therefore, although the entire country is already on the verge of collapse. But the situation in the capital is still relatively much better. Although various contradictions continue to accumulate, they have not yet reached the critical point of eruption.

These people can be said to be the last supporters of rolling shutters.

However, the situation has now changed.

A large number of refugees entered the city, and fighting continued to occur. As soon as the residents of any capital city opened their doors at dawn, they could smell a strong putrid smell. There were refugees and even corpses lying all over the streets.

As the number of refugees gradually increased, the limited control of the roller shutter became increasingly weak. Various incidents of home invasion and robbery occurred endlessly, and the entire capital became like a refugee camp. Support for roller blinds has dropped rapidly.

Soon, the political situation in the court changed.

The first to attack was the left army stationed at the south gate.

Since there was not much food left in the treasury, Roller Shutter had to order a reduction in the military ration quota. As a result, the underfed soldiers mutinied. Under pressure, the general and his soldiers looted a granary and withdrew from the city with only a little food. Announced that he would no longer obey the king's orders.

This move really created a big problem for the roller blinds.

First of all, this is a mutiny initiated from the bottom up. It cannot be solved by capturing the thief first and capturing the king first. Secondly, how should this matter be handled?

If Juan Ye directly sends troops to conquer, how many troops does he still have on hand to call on? The South Gate defenders mutinied, and the remaining troops were already stretched thin. If they are transferred again, they will simply not be able to control the chaotic situation in the city.

If you don't care, other troops will soon follow suit. The most important thing is that the rolling curtain has made a bad start, that is, it is depriving the army of rations. With that, everyone watched. If the mutiny of the South Gate garrison goes away, then if they don't just run away with the only food they have, what are they waiting for?

For this reason, Xuanzang had no choice but to go to the military camp and try to persuade the mutinous soldiers with his sharp tongue.

However, when it comes to preaching and preaching, who will listen to you when you are hungry? After going back and forth several times with little success, Xuanzang had to give up.

Soon, other troops also announced that they would no longer obey the orders of rolling curtains and all withdrew from the city. For a time, without the military power of the imperial court, there was no order in the whole city. Even the courtiers had to stay in the palace with their families.

I don’t know where the rumor came from, saying that the reason why Wuji Kingdom has no food is because all the food is piled in the palace. This rumor sounded bizarre, but what was even more bizarre was that the desperate refugees actually believed it.

They gathered together and became rebels, surrounded the palace, shouted day and night, and gave the curtain three days to send the food out to the refugees, otherwise they would attack by force, and no one in the palace would survive.

At this moment, the rolling curtain felt like the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and I wanted to cry but had no tears.

Even his scope of activities was limited to the palace. At this point, what else could he do besides praying to the monkeys to bring food as soon as possible?

For the past three days, Roller Blind has been living in a haze. No matter where he went, he kept sighing as if he had lost his soul. Occasionally someone would call him, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the first thing he would say would be: "Is the food coming? Is the food coming?"

In the early morning of the third day, the rebels in ragged clothes gathered early at the outer gate of the palace, preparing to attack by force.

Standing on the tower, Juan Yan looked at the sparse formation of rebels below and was silent for a long time. He said softly: "Marshal, Juan Yan finally understands. Running a country is not based on pure passion."

After saying that, he smiled faintly and said: "You can take Master Xuanzang away later. Roller Shutter knows that he has sinned deeply, and it is time to atone for his sins. Roller Shutter is content to see you safe and sound." (To be completed.) Continued~^~)
