The Monkey King

   "Do you think Li Jing will continue to oppose me?"

   "Yeah!" The wind chimes nodded heavily.

The monkey laughed and fiddled with the exquisite pagoda in his hand: "Look at him running faster than a rabbit, and his tower is still in my hands, even if he dares to turn his face, I'm not afraid of him. Nantianmen is not only a soldier. It’s not as good as the Tianhe Navy, even if it’s a general. I heard that they haven’t practiced battle formations for hundreds of years. Just rely on them?”

   "No!" Feng Chi shouted: "It's not his troops that matter, it's him! He is different from Marshal Tianpeng, he can make Tianting send troops!"

   Looking at the wind chimes, the monkey asked, "Can you?"

   "This..." The wind chimes bit her lip and couldn't answer for a while.

   "Not one or two of Tianting's opposition to Tianpeng, not to mention that he still has old grudges with Tianpeng, even if he really wants Tianting to send troops, can Tianting send troops immediately with just one more mouth?"

   "This...this...I don't know, but you can't let him go!"

"I promised to let him go before. Heavenly Court has ordered them to withdraw. If they don't let go at this time, it's time to help. I'm afraid they will go all out and join hands with the Tianhe Navy to attack Huaguo Mountain." Monkey supported his knees and slowly He stood up, reached out and touched Feng Chi's head and said, "You, stay in the prison with peace of mind. I will handle the outside affairs." Feng Chi blinked and looked at the monkey with aggrieved expression.

  Monkey stretched out his hand and squeezed the wind chime's bulging cheeks and said, "Don't worry, I can win, they can't fight me."

  …

   Nantianmen Fleet, flagship hall.

  The canopy crossed the high threshold and walked quickly to the temple, the white cloak that was flowing in the wind behind him had long been coagulated into a dark red with blood.

   Walked to the center of the hall step by step, Tian Peng bowed his hands and said: "Tian Peng has seen Li Tianwang, this time is really helpless, I also ask Tianwang to forgive me."

   Li Jing, who was sitting high on the main seat, pointed at the second seat beside him wearily and said, "Marshal Tianpeng, please take a seat. If you have anything to say, this King of Heaven and his life must return to Nantianmen immediately without delay."

   Say it. He tapped the lid of the tea cup on the side coffee table with **** and sighed lightly, "Serve the tea."

   The celestial soldier beside him quickly brought tea to the canopy.

   Take a seat at that seat. Tianpeng bowed slightly and said, "This matter is of great importance, and please ask the King of Heaven to step back."

Before Li Jing could speak, Nezha, who was leaning on a flaming spear, pointed at Tianpeng and said, "Your Tianpeng is now a body to be punished, and my father is willing to see that you have already given enough face, so don't ask for so many things. If you have something to say, hurry up, and when you're done, hurry up and leave!" Tian Peng didn't say anything. He just looked at Li Jing slightly sideways.

   The entire hall fell silent.

   After a long time, Li Jing raised his hand slightly and sighed, "Let's all go down."

   "Father!"

   "Go down."

  Nezha gave Tian Peng a cold look and walked out of the hall first. The rest of the crowd also hurriedly exited the door.

   Almost at the same time, Tianpeng felt that there were many heavenly soldiers surrounding the hall.

  This...It should be because Li Jinggang is afraid that Li Jinggang will go out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den again. After all, the Tianhe Navy is now at the end of the road, so it's not surprising to think so.

   Canopy had no choice but to smile.

   "Nezha has this temperament, please don't take offense." Li Jing said softly.

   "Don't dare."

   "Then, can we talk now?" Li Jing picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Taking a deep breath, Tianpeng stood up slowly with the handrail, and cupped his hands: "Tianpeng came this time for the battle of Huaguoshan. I hope. With the help of the King of Heaven, we can eradicate the evil spirits of Huaguoshan in one fell swoop. ."

Li Jing pursed his lips slightly and smiled: "Battle of Huaguoshan... Marshal wants my Nantianmen army to join the battlefield, right? I'll tell you the truth. My exquisite pagoda is still in the hands of the demon monkey. Besides, firstly, the Heavenly King Chiguo has informed me about the situation first, and most of his subordinate soldiers are unwilling to participate in this battle. Second, Heavenly Court has ordered our army to return to Nantianmen immediately. Does the marshal want me to resist the decree like you do? If this trip is for this matter, there is no need to talk about it.”…

   After saying that paragraph in one breath, Li Jing lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

   The hand holding the tea was still shaking.

   "If the marshal wants my Nantianmen fleet to join the battle, then please come back."

   Put down the tea cup, and saw that Tianpeng did not answer. Li Jing repeated this sentence again.

  Tianpeng stared blankly at Li Jing's slightly haggard face for a long time. Li Jing avoided his eyes normally ahead.

   For a while, the entire hall was so quiet that there was no sound at all.

   A cool breeze from the sky quietly blew into the hall. He brushed up the window screen on the side, swayed the blood-stained cloak on the canopy, bypassed the potted plants on the table, and left from the window lattice.

  Tianpeng took a deep breath and said slowly: "Does the King of Heaven still remember Chentangguan, Li Jing, the general soldier who gave his eight-year-old son to the Dragon King of the Four Seas for the sake of the people at dawn?"

  Li Jing closed his eyes tightly and said, "This time and that time cannot be generalized."

   "How not?"

   "What do you think?" Li Jing opened his eyes and slowly looked at the canopy.

"Tianpeng doesn't understand." With a faint smile, Tianpeng lowered his head and rubbed his wristbands and said: "Tianpeng only knows that for the general, one should have his own conduct. Whether in heaven or in the mortal world, It's all the same. Thinking back then, Li Tianwang was able to do this for the sake of the people of Chentangguan. Why is it now... If it is allowed to go on, the day Huaguo Mountain will take shape, it will not be the harm to the people. At that time, even if the Heavenly Court is launched Ten times the strength of today's army, and the blood shed several times today, I am afraid it will be difficult to capture."

   After a pause, Tianpeng said slowly: "At that time, the Huaguoshan Monkey Monkey and the Heavenly Court will fight against each other, and the mortal world will surely be in flames of war, and life will be wiped out... I wonder how the King of Heaven can bear it?"

   "Don't be alarmist!" Li Jing slapped his palm on the table and said angrily, "This Huaguo Mountain is just a mortal evildoer, how can it stand against the heavenly court?"

   Facing Li Jing's gaze, Tianpeng said, "It's impossible, I think Tianwang knows better than Tianpeng!"

   For a moment, both sides widened their eyes. There was a faint tension in the hall, but it became even more quiet.

After looking at each other for a long time, Li Jing finally avoided Tianpeng's gaze, took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Even if I am willing, neither do my soldiers. Are all the troops in your army your Tianhe Marines? How do you want me to mobilize the troops to fight? If you force the order and the army will mutiny, will your Tianhe Marines help me suppress it?"

   Slowly closed his eyes, Li Jing shivered slightly and let out a breath of hot air, which turned into a light cloud and mist in the cool wind at high altitude and drifted away.

"Do you think I don't want to be ashamed? You know, I know, and my subordinates know what this battle is going to be like. After adding my army of 180,000 people, can I really win immediately? Well, Even if the ground is overwhelmed, what's next? Have you thought about how to fight an underground battle? What if they break into pieces? Do you know how many strongholds they have outside Huaguo Mountain?"

   "Have you seen the underground fortifications in Huaguo Mountain? Do you know how far they have done it?"

   "You don't know, but I know!"

   "How many monsters are there in this mortal world waiting to join them? What about us? Without the support of heaven, we can't afford it at all!"

   "That **** demon monkey dared to let me go at this time just because he was right, don't you still understand?"

   pursed his lips, and Li Jing said, "If you refuse to let me go this time, my Nantianmen army is determined to join the war. Now that I let it go, I have taken away my exquisite pagoda..."

Leaning back on the chair, he raised his head and stared blankly at the ceiling and sighed: "Tianpeng, I serve you, I really serve you. You are the only one who dares to fight this kind of battle in the entire heaven. But... Tianpeng, listen to me, this battle should not be fought at all! I advise you to withdraw as soon as possible. When you arrive at the Lingxiao Palace, Your Majesty may say a few words for you. If you lose the battle... no one can save you. You! Don't let the soldiers shed unnecessary blood. When the immortals in the heavenly court have an epiphany, they will naturally find a way. For the generals, where the heavenly court refers, we will fight wherever we want. How to choose is not our consideration. things.”…

   Bowing his head, Li Jing stared at the pattern formed by the sunlight through the window lattice on the carpet of the hall, and became fascinated.

   The general trend, no one can turn the tide...

   Having said that, it is useless to say anything.

Silently watching the depressed Li Jing, Tianpeng bowed slightly and said, "In this case, Tianpeng will no longer ask for it. Tianpeng only asks the king for one thing at the end. After returning to the heaven, please help mediation in any way and let the heaven increase its troops. Don't let the more than 100,000 heavenly men die in vain."

Hearing this, Li Jing only smiled bitterly and said, "You overestimate me too much. Where is the game on the Lingxiao Palace, how can I play it as I say it? The current situation is that no matter how I go back and talk to you, it will be the same. It doesn't help."

"Tian Peng doesn't want Tian Wang to speak for Tian Peng, Tian Peng just wants to ask Tian Wang to speak for the battle situation in Huaguo Mountain. Returning from the front line, Tian Wang should have the most say in the strength of Huaguo Mountain. As long as the immortals believe in it In the words of the King of Heaven, then…”

"Do you believe it?" Li Jing reluctantly raised his head and sighed: "Tianpeng, Tianpeng, you really have been a marshal for so many years... Let's put it this way, now that you can stand on the Lingxiao Palace, you can take everything in one sentence. The only one who settles is Laojun. If it is replaced by anyone else, it is useless to say anything. Even His Majesty. At this point, who cares what the truth is? Say something that shouldn't be said, about matters in the courtroom, It has always been an exchange of interests under the table, and the decoration on the table is peaceful, how can I change something with my words, Li Jing?"

Staring at Li Jing silently, for a long time, Tian Peng gritted his teeth, raised his cloak and knelt down on one knee: "Then ask the King of Heaven to trade under the table to get more troops from the Tian Court. This is the end of the matter, Tian Peng is no longer there. The road can be turned back, and please let the King of Heaven complete it!”

   After hesitating for a long time, Li Jing stared at the canopy and sighed softly, "I...let's try it."
