The Monkey King

After bidding farewell to Tianpeng, Li Jing and Nezha quietly left the fleet and flew northwest.

Along the way, the flowing clouds flew by, light and shadow intertwined, and the two of them remained silent. When he got close to Nantianmen, Li Jing, who had not yet fully recovered, seemed to be a little exhausted, and his speed was slightly slower.

Seeing this, Nezha quickly stepped forward to help him.

"It's okay, I can hold on until Nantianmen." Li Jing waved his hand.

After letting go of his hand, Nezha followed Li Jing with some anxiety.

Under Li Jing's golden armor, Nezha saw the blood stains slowly fading away from the clothes around Pipa's bones, and saw a few strands of paleness hidden between the originally dark and shiny hair.

In the past few years, Li Jing has spent his time in a dark prison with his lute bone locked.

After following Li Jing quietly for a long time, Nezha's eyes turned red.

He gripped the fire-pointed gun tightly and whispered: "Dad, I can't help you. If I hadn't been reckless, how could I have caused my father to suffer in this prison? I was wrong, please forgive me."

Li Jing glanced at Nezha indifferently, then turned his head and looked straight ahead and said: "It's okay. However, from now on, as a general, you must judge the situation and know how to advance or retreat. You must not show off your courage and endanger the entire army."

As he said that, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Speaking of which, I have made mistakes both as a father and as a commander, and I don't blame you entirely." Li Jing blinked and said, "Tianpeng... this person, although sometimes he behaves in a way that makes people uncomfortable. I disagree, but he is a first-class loyal minister and general, worthy of admiration. As a father, I am the guardian king of Nantianmen, so I should naturally do my best for the overall situation of the three realms."

After being silent for a long time, Li Jing sighed into the cold wind: "Just give it a try. Everything has a price, it just depends on whether the price... can be afforded."

…

In the canopy tent. There was an atmosphere of helplessness.

"Marshal, is Li Jing really trustworthy?" Tianfu asked.

Canopy didn't answer.

"Since it is a transaction, then we should pay a price. Will we pay or will they pay?" Tian Ren laughed and said: "Don't we pay enough? Hundreds of thousands of soldiers fought bloody battles..."

"In the end, we have to use this method to solve the problem..." Tianxin smiled helplessly. He raised his head and sighed.

Tianpeng also didn't answer, he just stared at the piece of jade in his palm, fascinated.

In the end, is it going to end this way?

He had a hunch that maybe this was really his last battle... Among the mist-shrouded mountains and rocks, a stone pavilion that had gone through an unknown number of years stood.

The pillars were already covered with vines and decorated with a few small yellow flowers. There is a sense of fantasy that is not the same as in this world.

Li Jing hurriedly came from a distance and quickly climbed up the short mountain along the stone steps. All the way to the top of the mountain, he saw the stone pavilion and Taibai Jinxing sitting in the pavilion.

From a distance, Li Jing smiled widely and said, "Li Jing has met Mr. Xing. It's been several years since we last met. Mr. Xing is fine."

Taibai Jinxing also slowly stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Chang Geng has met the Heavenly King. For the Heavenly King, it is years, but for Chang Geng, it is only a few days. Thanks to the Heavenly King, everything is fine for Chang Geng. The Heavenly King, on the other hand, has returned from this expedition. He looks a lot thinner, he must have worked extremely hard.”

Li Jing laughed twice and didn't answer.

Wait for the two of them to sit down. Taibai Jinxing said with a smile on his face: "I heard that the Nantianmen army has just set off, but the King of Heaven has already returned. He was so tired all the way, why didn't he take a break and rushed to meet Chang Geng?"

"This..." Li Jing sighed, raised his head and looked around at the vibrant surroundings and said casually: "It's really a bit urgent and I want to discuss it with Mr. Xing."...

"Oh? What's the matter?"

Pursing his lips, Li Jing said softly: "The monster monkey in Huaguo Mountain this time is really powerful. It's embarrassing to say that. Our Nantianmen army of 180,000 people spent several years and failed to suppress it. It's really..."

Taibai Jinxing laughed. Said: "If the King of Heaven is ashamed, shouldn't the Tianhe navy, who are known as the 'number one elite in heaven', find a hole in the ground to burrow into? The Nantianmen army has been fighting against the monster monkeys for several years without much damage. This Tianhe navy is just that. In less than a month, more than 100,000 people were killed and injured. The king of heaven is too modest."

Taibai Jinxing laughed, but Li Jing did not laugh with him.

After rolling his eyes for a moment, Li Jing said in a low voice: "I will go to the Lingxiao Palace to report on my duties later. Li Jing plans to ask your Majesty to increase his troops to exterminate the monsters in Huaguo Mountain. I wonder what Mr. Xing thinks?"

After saying that, Li Jing's eyes quietly slanted toward Taibai Jinxing.

"This is a good thing." Taibai Jinxing nodded and said: "The monsters in the world will naturally be suppressed. When the case of the plague poisoning of the Tianhe navy and the rebellion against the imperial decree are investigated, Chang Geng and the King of Heaven jointly submit a petition, asking Your Majesty to dispatch twenty The Eight Stars, Jiu Yao Xing Jun, Twelve Yuan Chen, Four Directions Jiedi, and Four Levels of Merit Cao, together with the Nantianmen generals, will surely uproot the demons in Huaguo Mountain!"

Li Jing narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered: "What if Li Jing wants to ask your Majesty to send reinforcements before that?"

Hearing this, Taibai Jinxing was startled, and his face suddenly changed slightly. He straightened his back and said with a smile but not a smile: "It seems that in the battle of Huaguo Mountain, the battle achievements were not seen, but Li Tianwang had a deep relationship with Sin General Tianpeng." Ah, our friendship. Think of Tianpeng. He committed a passionate crime first, abused the plague and harmed all living beings later, and now he resists and disrespects the decree... If such a person is not punished, how can the Heavenly Court convince the people in the future? If troops are sent at this time , wouldn’t it be like acknowledging the Tianhe navy’s resistance to the imperial decree? The friendship between Li Tianwang and Tianpeng is really valuable!"

Li Jing tightened his fists slightly, but the smile remained on his face.

"Mr. Now he is filled with regrets and is just waiting for the end of the war to return to the Heavenly Court to plead guilty. Xingjun, do you think you should just put this matter aside and discuss it later? This will prevent the entire Tianhe navy from being affected by the fault of one person in Tianpeng. To achieve the great situation of unifying the three realms of my heaven, it’s a small loss but a big loss.”

"Hmph, what is small and what is big?" Taibai Jinxing raised his head high, stroking his long beard and said: "Suppressing demons is 'big'. Could it be that the face of Heaven and the majesty of Heaven will become 'small'? If things go on like this, Heaven will still be there." How to rule the three realms? How can a mere evildoer endanger the Heavenly Court? Huh, I'm afraid, tolerating Tianpeng is the real way to make a small sacrifice, right? That day, everyone in the Heshui Army only knew Marshal Tianpeng. They didn't understand the Jade Emperor's rules of heaven. There are no bones left. It’s your own fault, so what’s the pity? If the King of Heaven is looking for Chang Geng today just for this reason, please forgive Chang Geng for saying goodbye!”

After saying that, Taibai Jinxing stood up and left.

Li Jing quickly stopped and said: "Xingjun, please be patient and calm down. Please allow Li Jing to explain the disaster in Huaguo Mountain in detail."

When Taibai Jinxing saw this, he turned around and turned a blind eye.

have no choice. Li Jing could only hold up his hands and said: "Before leaving, Li Jing has negotiated with Tianpeng. If we have to pay some price for this, we will not be stingy. This also shows Tianpeng's repentance. The fact of suppressing demons cannot be delayed, and we must still do it." Please give me some advice, Mr. Xing.”

"Oh?" Taibai Jinxing raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said calmly: "Did he really say that?"

"Li Jing doesn't dare to lie."

Taibai Jinxing smiled faintly, nodded and said: "If he really wants to repent, it is not impossible to get Chang Geng to support the increase of troops..."

…

A bamboo slip was placed on the table in the canopy. There was deathly silence in the camp.

"What are they doing? Do they want us to admit to the plague case and make a confession?"

"The plague is clearly the fault of the Huaguoshan Monster Monkey. Anyone can see this, and now it is being blamed on us. It's really hateful!"

"There's no need to blame someone for it..."

"I told you that Li Jing couldn't be trusted!"

"This is clearly Li Jing's trick! Then Li Jing has always held a grudge against the King of Growth, and is always thinking of taking revenge on us! Marshal, you must never do this! Once this crime is committed, our Tianhe Navy will be beyond redemption!"

"There has never been 'we', only 'me'." Tianpeng took a deep breath and said, "I ordered the poison to be used. Everyone, just obey the order."

A simple sentence. Like a thunderbolt, the small tent was divided into two sides. One side is life, the other side is death.

All the generals were stunned.

for a long time. Tian Ren raised his cloak and knelt down on one knee, punched his breastplate hard, and said loudly: "Marshal, we don't need their reinforcements. If we work together, we can definitely level the Huaguo Mountain. They have a lot of troops." Monster reinforcements, it doesn’t matter, we can also go and capture some people!”

"Yes, Marshal, the Kunlun Mountains do not allow conscription. We can teach them all by ourselves. We can form an army in a few years! Heaven does not give pills or weapons, so we can make them ourselves! Even warships can be built by ourselves! We We can definitely win!”

"Marshal, this crime is beyond recognition..." the veteran Tianfu said, trembling slightly.

All the generals stared blankly at the blood-stained canopy sitting in front of the table.

He didn't answer.

With his head lowered and his bloodshot and slightly red eyes open, Canpeng stared at the piece of jade in his palm, entranced.

In a daze, he seemed to see the red flower on the moon tree, saw the clanking armor all over the mountains and fields, and heard the deafening shouts.

He smiled faintly.

The oath taken when taking office and the promise must be fulfilled. If you are loyal, you will fulfill your eternal promise. It is a pity that so many brothers have been affected.

Now, I just hope that I can win this battle and have a good ending, and get back the souls that were collected, so that they can join a good family in the next life...

Just outside the camp, within a hundred miles, the fighting continued.

These heavenly soldiers fighting on the front line were wearing silver armor, flapping their wings and flying in the blood, avoiding stray arrows, and fighting endlessly in this war that was not recognized by heaven.

They are not high-altitude gods, they cannot enjoy the incense of the world, they have no immortality, no peaches, no immortality, and no vision of a glorious tomorrow.

They are just ordinary cultivators, or in other words, human beings who insist on their own beliefs.

They shouldn't just die here fighting and never be reincarnated.

Canopy slowly gritted his teeth and clenched the jade in his hand.

In the dim light, the stern face showed no expression.

ps: I have repaired it n times, I hope everyone is still satisfied.
