The Monkey King

Yaochi.

In the boundless lotus pond, the lotus flowers are as tall as a person, and the huge lotus leaves look like huge trees.

In the long and narrow white jade corridor, Li Jing was wearing golden armor and walking slowly with an exquisite pagoda in his hand.

The flat peach garden is under the control of the Queen Mother, and most of the flat peaches produced are used in the flat peach festival, with few other uses. Normally, even if the Jade Emperor asked for a few flat peaches, it would depend on the Queen Mother's expression. What's more, now he wants a hundred flat peaches to redeem King Guangmu?

It is so difficult that if put in the hands of ordinary gods, it would be completely helpless.

But after all, Li Jing was a powerful and experienced god. In half a day in heaven, he had secretly met with Taibai Jinxing. The Taibai Jinxing promised to persuade the Queen Mother to give flat peaches for the Nantianmen Army to reward their merits after the war. However, the cost of the Yaochi is huge and the heavenly court's allocation is limited. At that time, the gold essence originally planned to be used in the army to discuss merits will have to be transferred to the king. mother.

Li Jing naturally accepted this readily.

After all, the main rewards for meritorious deeds will all come from heaven. Those in the army are just saying it. If you calculate it, there will be a surplus of 50,000 gold essence, which is not enough to give the five immortal grasses of Taibai Jinxing. one.

Walking all the way to the end, Li Jing saw the open-air palace.

The splendid palace was filled with immortal music, and there were nearly a hundred musicians and immortals alone, all of whom were at the level of god refining or above. Groups of beautiful female fairies were constantly coming and going all around. If ordinary soldiers came to visit, they would be mesmerized by their dancing postures.

On the main seat, a woman dressed in luxurious clothes and bathed in auspicious light sat leaning against her. Standing next to her was Taibai Jinxing.

Li Jing pounded his breastplate with one hand. He bowed and said, "Li Jing. See the Queen Mother."

"Excuse me." The Queen Mother stretched out her hand to touch her. He only glanced at Li Jing briefly and continued to listen to the fairy music with relish.

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

"I heard from Taibai Jinxing that you want to take some flat peaches to reward the soldiers who have made meritorious service in the conquest of Dongsheng Shenzhou."

"That's exactly what happened." Li Jing bowed and said: "This time, our Nantianmen Army was ordered by the Jade Emperor to conquer Dongsheng Shenzhou. All the soldiers fought bloody battles and will return in triumph soon. By then, the heavenly court will just give you a reward, and the army will There must be some expression in it. If it is given to the golden spirit, it seems a bit cliché. Li Jing discussed with the four heavenly kings. If it can be rewarded with flat peaches, it will definitely inspire people. For such an unkind request, please also ask the Queen Mother to think of the soldiers. Thank you for your hard work, I agree."

After saying that, he quietly raised his head and glanced at Taibaijinxing.

Taibai Jinxing straightened up slightly and looked sideways at the Queen Mother.

As if she had thought about it briefly, the Queen Mother smiled slightly and said: "King Li Tian is so considerate to his subordinates, no wonder he is so loved in the army. Ministers who have made meritorious deeds should be rewarded. How can I refuse this matter? It's just..."

Said. The Queen Mother paused and glanced at Li Jing lightly. He said: "I only asked for a hundred, which seems to be a little more. Every year, there is a peach gathering, and the peaches in this peach garden are also very tight. Although it is not that they cannot be distributed, but if it is given like this, all the armies will come to ask for it in the future. Flat peaches are used to reward meritorious generals, so how can we hold this flat peach party?"

After saying that, she reached out to pick up the money cup, lowered her eyebrows and took a sip of the wine.

After hearing this, Li Jing frowned slightly and glanced at Taibai Jinxing. Seeing his calm expression, he bowed and said, "What the Queen Mother said is true. I don't know, if the Queen Mother rewards you with flat peaches, the army will be prepared to reward you." The gold essence is now empty, and I will give it to Yaochi as a token of my gratitude from Nantianmen. If other armies want to follow suit in the future, they must follow this example. Is that okay?"

Seeing the Queen Mother nodding silently after hearing this, Li Jing felt a little relieved.

Those five fairy grasses were not given away in vain after all.

Seemingly thinking about it, the Queen Mother smiled and said, "That's a way. In this case, King Li will send tens of millions of gold essences here."

This understatement was like a huge stone being thrown into Li Jing's heart, which turned the world upside down.

Ten million gold essence? The annual military expenditure of the Nantianmen Legion is only 60 million!

Li Jing's face suddenly changed slightly, and he laughed dryly and said: "Ten Thousand Gold Essence... Isn't this a bit..."

"Peach is a sacred object of heaven." Taibai Jinxing, who had been silent until now, suddenly interrupted Li Jing's words and said: "If I hadn't thought of the soldiers of Nantianmen fighting bloody battles for heaven this time, how could the empress be willing to make an exception? Wait until the victory. Today, such a kind reward will definitely boost morale, and all the soldiers will appreciate the kindness of the Queen."

After saying that, he bowed his hands towards the Queen Mother flatteringly.

The Queen Mother gently waved her hands in a modest gesture and said with a smile: "Soldiers have meritorious service and should be rewarded. A hundred flat peaches are indeed a bit too much, but the soldiers shed their blood for heaven, so how can we be stingy?"

"What the empress said is true." After saying that, Taibai Jinxing turned to Li Jing and asked, "Li Tianwang, do you think so?"

How can you be stingy? Are you talking to yourself?

Li Jing smiled slightly, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his teeth clenched under his closed lips, but he had no choice but to thank him.

…

It was June of the following year after the wind chimes arrived at Huaguoshan.

A hundred miles away from Huaguo Mountain, in the wilderness, six monsters of different shapes and ragged clothes were running away at high speed.

Behind them, a light Heavenly Army warship suspended in the sky ten miles away beat the war drum.

On the deck, nearly a hundred heavenly soldiers armed with various weapons were rising into the air under the leadership of a heavenly general, and they were chasing the six monsters who were about to expire.

"Damn it, if I had the Soaring Cloud Technique, I wouldn't be like this!" The leader, the elephant spirit with a broken ivory, gasped and cursed bitterly.

The fat belly was still covered with a thick bandage, and it was stained with blood. It was obvious that he had been seriously injured before.

"Even if I give you the Soaring Cloud Technique, do you dare to fly? The Heavenly Army has deployed surveillance techniques in this area, and you will die faster if you use them." A white dove spirit passed over his head.

She looked like a graceful woman, but the white wings behind her, the white feathers on her bun, and the lines that still looked like feather outlines on her bare arms marked her identity.

In panic, the wild boar spirit who ran last and was blind in one eye tripped and fell to the ground. The remaining monsters stopped and looked back.

Press the ground with one hand. The boar spirit struggled to stand up. In the end, he suddenly fell to the ground.

"Can we still leave?" Xiang Jing asked, panting.

Lowering his head, the wild boar stared blankly at the blood stains slowly spreading on the rag tied around his calf, and his eyes suddenly turned slightly red.

"We are about to enter the Huaguoshan area. I didn't expect it... Hahahaha, I have to die here, you go."

Blinking wildly, he turned back tremblingly and took off the battle ax from his back.

The other monsters looked at the elephant spirit.

The elephant spirit, who was 1.5 feet tall, looked at him calmly and said softly: "Take care." After that. Turn around and leave.

The other monsters had no choice but to follow quickly. Only the white pigeon spirit was still flapping its wings and hanging in the air, watching blankly. Watching the wild boar spirit stand up with difficulty, watching him turn around and clenching his hands tightly. The battle ax with several holes missing in the handle stared blankly at the heavenly soldiers attacking from a distance, making a gesture of fighting.

The white pigeon spirit wanted to fly towards the wild boar spirit, but was stopped by the elephant spirit.

"This is not the first time something like this has happened along the way. There is nothing to hesitate about!"

"No." The white dove spirit, whose face was a little blue, breathed heavily and blinked in the direction of Huaguo Mountain: "This is not far from Huaguo Mountain, maybe... maybe their men and horses will be nearby. "

"Don't be stupid! This place is still hundreds of miles away from Huaguo Mountain!" The Elephant Spirit roared fiercely.

The white dove spirit still didn't move. This forced the other monsters to slow down.

She is a guide, if lost. Even this journey of more than a hundred miles may not be possible for them to complete safely. You must know that the closer you are to Huaguo Mountain, the denser the defenses of the Heavenly Army must be.

Time passed little by little, and the heavenly army was getting closer and closer.

"Damn, you're going to force me to death!" The elephant spirit spat bitterly, took off the mace hanging from his waist and clenched it tightly, but still hesitated whether he should go back for rescue.

During the rapid flight, some of the heavenly soldiers had already drawn their crossbows and waited until they got closer before shooting the wild boars into hedgehogs.

"It's over." The Elephant Spirit stared blankly at the White Dove Spirit and the heavenly soldiers. After a long time, he had no choice but to take a step towards the Wild Boar Spirit and spat bitterly: "Women are just unreliable!"

At this moment, a harsh sound came, and the body of the heavenly soldier flying in the front suddenly fell back and collided with the heavenly soldier behind him, and fell.

All the heavenly soldiers stopped moving, and the six monsters were also frightened.

When the Heavenly Soldier fell to the ground and lay motionless, they saw clearly that there was a black feather arrow stuck in the Heavenly Soldier's forehead!

"What is this? There are other monsters!" The leading Heavenly Army looked around with wide eyes.

Just two miles away behind the monsters, the short beak flapped its wings and hung in the air. He reached out and slowly pulled out the second arrow from the quiver, nocked the bow, pointed it at the leading general!

"It's a monster in the realm of gods!" Tianjiang was suddenly startled.

"Want to fight?" Short Mouth tilted his head, tightening the bow in his hand slightly and pointing it directly at the throat of Tianjun.

Although there are no God Transformation Realm Heavenly Generals on board this light ship, there are at least six God Refining Realm Heavenly Generals. There will definitely be no problem in eating the owl fairy in front of him.

After quickly determining the situation between the enemy and ourselves, the general was about to attack that day, but suddenly he saw dozens of monsters using the soaring cloud technique to fly to the short mouth and form a battle formation.

All of them were wearing brand-new armor, and the weapons in their hands were gleaming with cold light and looked fierce.

These are all gods-refining realm monsters!

All the heavenly soldiers and generals, including the six downtrodden monsters, were stunned.

"It's the troops from Huaguo Mountain... That leader seems to be the Monkey King's deputy general." A heavenly soldier whispered in the ear of the heavenly general.

"The deputy general of Huaguoshan?" The general was suddenly startled, pursed his lips, and backed away slowly. The heavenly soldiers behind him also retreated with him one by one.

Not long after, the heavenly soldiers evacuated together with the battleship.

It wasn't until they left that Duzui slowly released his bow, inserted the arrows back into the quiver, led a group of Huaguoshan soldiers to the six monsters, glanced at them lightly and said, " Everyone, welcome home.”

As soon as these words came out, the elephant spirit fell to his knees first and kept kowtowing: "Thank you, the king! Thank you, the king! Long live the king!"

The wild boar spirit who had escaped death lay on the ground and cried loudly. The white dove spirit couldn't help wiping away tears. The other monsters also had tears streaming down their faces.

"I'm not the king, but he's nearby. You'll see him soon." Short Mouth waved his hands and walked step by step to the crying wild boar spirit, who was almost out of breath. He turned his head and asked the white dove spirit beside him. :"he got hurt?"

"Yes, I hurt my leg and there is no medicine, so..."

Short Mouth turned around and waved to the monster behind him: "Take him back first."

"No!" The two monsters immediately stepped forward to help the wild boar spirit. The wild boar spirit was already crying so hard that he couldn't stand still.

At this time, the tall elephant spirit also burst into tears: "When we set off, there were one hundred and fifty monsters, and we collected many monsters along the way. When we get here, there are only... ahem..."

"You're lucky. I've seen thousands of monsters set out together, and there are only two left here. If we hadn't opened a mine nearby, you wouldn't have seen our troops for another twenty miles." He took off the cowhide water bottle hanging from his waist and threw it to the elephant spirit.

Elephant Jing, who had not had a drink of water for several days, pulled out the spout of the pot and poured it into his mouth.

Several other monsters also rushed towards him, as if they wanted to fight for it.

At this time, the soldiers from Huaguo Mountain had brought them water and food.

"Don't worry, there are plenty. You deserve these. It's not easy to get here." Short Mouth said lightly: "Eat and drink enough first, I will arrange your next things later." (Unfinished) to be continued..)
