The Monkey King

In the rays of the morning sun, countless refugees holding a variety of weapons and hungry eyes walked tremblingly through the streets towards the palace.

From a distance, it looks like ants everywhere.

This is really a group of ants, in the eyes of mortal kings and in the eyes of gods and Buddhas in heaven.

But the rolling shutter has been struggling for so long, isn't it just for them?

Build a clean country...

From all the government decrees, the rolling shutter itself did not benefit at all, but in the end, it ended up like this.

On the palace wall, the last loyal guard to the rolling curtain opened rows of bows and pointed arrows with cold light at the refugees. The general in charge of the imperial guards had raised one hand and looked sideways at the rolling curtain.

"Your Majesty, give the order. As long as we are here, these rabble can't attack."

The roller blind just looked at the refugees who looked like hungry ghosts, pursed their lips and remained silent.

Gradually, all the soldiers looked towards the rolling curtain, and even Tianpeng and Xuanzang, who were standing beside the rolling curtain, stared at him silently.

The morning breeze fluttered the flag, brushing against the cheeks of the roller blind, and the big beard on his face trembled slightly in the wind.

The rebels who rushed to the foot of the wall beat their weapons against the solid wall in vain.

A few emaciated refugees carried a broken ladder to the wall, but the ladder could not reach the height of the city wall at all, so they quickly retreated.

More ladders were brought out, and they began to assemble the low ladders together, trying to create a ladder out of thin air to cross the high wall of the palace.

The hands of the guards holding Gong Xuan were shaking slightly. What little morale remains is waning.

Roller Blinds still stood silently, letting the situation develop.

The general looked at the rolling curtain with a slightly stunned expression.

He really didn't understand why Roller Blind was still hesitating. With an order, these refugees were not only attacking the city, but also fighting in the field. They would certainly not be able to defeat the palace's elite troops.

After all, they are just a bunch of rabble with no food to eat.

But if this consumption continues and morale is completely lost, no matter how strong the army is, there will be nothing left to do.

Soon, the lengthened ladders were assembled and leaned against the city wall.

The refugees below began to climb hard.

However, these are nothing but inexperienced in war. Lack of organization. They were just civilians without food. They didn't know that such a hastily assembled ladder couldn't bear the weight of a person. Not long after, two ladders broke in the air, and the people on them screamed and fell into the crowd, knocking over the refugees.

The Prime Minister heard shouts of killing one after another under the city wall, but there was an eerie silence on the city wall.

Everyone stood silently.

Time passed slowly, and the roller blind was still watching blankly. The hands holding on to the city wall tightened again and again.

Soon, the refugees changed their original ways. They used horse-drawn carriages to move huge tree stumps from nowhere, simulated charging at the car, shouted loudly, and hit the palace gate with all their strength.

Looking from inside the palace gate, the entire palace gate was shaking with the roar, and countless dust was shaken off.

A strange emotion quickly spread in the hearts of the soldiers of the Imperial Guard.

"Your Majesty, as long as a few rounds of arrow rain pass, these rabble are completely vulnerable! What are you waiting for?" The guard general drew out the sword from his waist with a clang and looked at the rolling curtain blankly.

for a long time. Roller Blind sighed lightly and said: "Marshal, do you think I should give the order?"

Canopy said nothing.

After hesitating for a while, Juan Yan slowly shook his head and said: "The killing is endless, just like before. The killing is endless. As long as there are still people hungry, someone will take up arms. And... kill They, what am I? A tyrant? Hey, I’m not even as good as a tyrant.”

Canopy still didn't speak, just turned his face to look at the roller blind.

After another long silence, Roller Blind pursed his lips and said, "I... let's go out."

"Get out?" For a moment, the generals and soldiers around him were all stunned.

Tianpeng and Xuanzang stood silently without saying a word.

Roller Blind sighed softly: "I'm going out, I'm the initiator of everything. I'm going out and...surrender to them."

Before the soldiers around him could react, Roller Blind turned around, passed through the crowd, and walked down the stairs.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty——! You can't go——!"

After a moment, a general roared out, and everyone around seemed to wake up. A large group of people swarmed towards the stairs like crazy and caught up with the rolling curtain.

In just an instant, the steps of the palace wall were blocked by them.

But on the one-foot-wide staircase, a large group of soldiers surrounded the rolling curtain.

"Your Majesty, it's absolutely impossible! You can't go!"

"Those are refugees. How can they negotiate with you? They will kill you!"

"They have been hungry for many days and will not listen to you!"

"Your Majesty, the general is kowtowing to you. Please! Don't go out! If something happens to you, it will be all over!"

"Thank you for staying with me until now." Roller Shutter murmured to himself, "Just kill him. Anyway, I deserve death."

Several generals stood in front of Roller Blind, and Roller Blind pushed them forward easily.

Those are all generals who roam the battlefield, but in front of the rolling curtain, their strength is not even as strong as that of a baby.

"Your Majesty, you can't go! Stop Your Majesty quickly!" One of them couldn't hold it any longer and shouted out!

The soldiers who were surrounding him immediately realized what he was doing, and they swarmed forward. Some grabbed the hand that rolled up the curtain, some hugged his legs, some pulled from behind, and some ran to the front and pushed back.

There were hundreds of people, their faces turned red with all their strength, but they were pushed forward slowly by the rolling curtains.

The soldiers guarding the school ground under the steps and the towers on the city wall were dumbfounded.

Everyone heard that their king was so powerful that he could defeat a thousand people, but no one expected that he could defeat a thousand people according to other legends. It refers to the kind of "one man can defeat a thousand people", and the one who rolls the curtain is really "can defeat a thousand people"!

"What are you looking at! Come and help—!"

With a shout, the soldiers who were dumbfounded quickly came to their senses. One by one they rushed over to join the battle group.

For a while. Nearly a thousand people were indirectly or directly blocking the roller blinds from moving forward. It's a pity that they don't even have the strength to bend a finger of the roller blind, let alone stop the roller blind.

The soldiers pulled one by one, pushed one by one, and there was a wailing sound. As a result, the soldiers on the city wall were pulled into the stone steps, and the soldiers on the stone steps were squeezed to the school ground below.

On the city wall, Xuanzang watched silently. A sigh.

"How long until the Great Sage... arrives?"

Tianpeng lowered his head and glanced at the jade slip in his hand. After hesitating for a moment, he inserted the jade slip back into his waist: "I don't know, what is supposed to come will always come. If he can't make it in time, there is nothing he can do about it. Some things, after all, he has to face by himself. Even if I try to stop it, I can’t stop it.”

With a loud noise, the vermilion palace door collapsed, causing smoke and dust to fill the sky.

The soldiers who surrounded the rolling curtain were startled, and they quickly let go and retreated.

The floor was swept, and the area around the roller blind was empty. A large number of soldiers rushed forward with heavy shields and formed a battle formation behind the rolling curtain.

Gradually, the sand and dust faded away, and a large number of wandering figures of refugees appeared outside the palace gate.

The first few people walking in the front suddenly found the roller blind standing in front of them. They were startled and quickly retracted.

For a while. The palace door was opened, but the guards and the refugees just held their breaths and faced each other across the palace door.

After a while, a man emerged from the refugees on the opposite side, holding up the sickle in his hand and shouting: "Hand over the food——!"

Suddenly, the refugee team became excited. They all raised their weapons and shouted, facing the arrows of the guards behind their shields, but still no one took a step forward.

"Put down your bows." Roller Blind said calmly.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing? We don't have to be afraid of them at all!"

"I said put down the bow—!"

With a roar, the soldiers looked at each other in confusion. After a while, they slowly let go of Gong Xuan one by one.

Raising his head, Roller Blind said softly: "Put down all your weapons. Let's surrender. I'll go talk to them. No matter what happens, don't take action."

With that said, Roller Shutter opened his steps and walked towards the palace gate.

Behind him, the general in charge of the imperial army threw his sword to the ground angrily.

With a "ding" sound, swords, shields, and long bows fell to the ground.

Roller curtain walked out of the palace door step by step, spreading his hands to indicate that he did not have any weapons in his hands.

The refugees stood shoulder to shoulder and elbow to elbow, keeping a distance of three feet from the roller blinds and backed away. The gaze went back and forth between the rolling curtain and the imperial guards behind the rolling curtain.

He walked to the middle and stood there, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "The palace belongs to you, and everything in it belongs to you. However, there is no food in the palace, there is really no food. You may believe it or not." Believe it or not, there really is no food in the treasury... I am incompetent as a king, so I am announcing my abdication. You can do whatever you want to me. I just ask you to let the people in the palace go."

The rich voice echoed in the empty world.

At this time, the morning sun has risen high. The refugees held onto their weapons one by one and looked at the king they had always hated with some astonishment.

On the high wall, Xuanzang and Tianpeng watched quietly.

Roller Blind turned sideways, pointed at the palace door and said: "Everything I have is inside, go and get it. But... there is not much gold and silver, and the treasury is already empty."

"What's the use of treasure? I want food!" In the crowd, a tall, thin, middle-aged man took out a string of pearls from his pocket and threw it in front of the curtain. He held a fork and shouted: "Where is the food? Tell me. Where is our food!”

"Yes! Where is the food? Where have you hidden it! Hand it over quickly!" The refugees around him all agreed.

"There is no food." The curtains were stretched and the voice shouted.

"You lied——! There is no food, so you asked that monk to take us to the capital to get food? You must have hidden it, please hand it over——!"

"Hand it over! Hand it over! Hand it over!" Everyone shouted in unison.

A refugee rushed out from the crowd and was dragged back. He waved the hoe in his hand and shouted at the rolling curtain: "If you don't hand over the food, we will kill you!"

"Kill." Roller closed his eyes, spread his hands and said, "Death is also a relief."

Everyone was stunned, staring at the roller blinds.

After a brief silence, a stone flew towards Roller Blind from the crowd and hit Roller Blind hard on the forehead.

Suddenly, countless people rushed towards the roller blind like crazy.

"Kill him——! Fulfill him!" someone roared.

"You can't kill him! He must have hidden the food! Find the food first and then kill him!" Someone was trying to stop him.

However, there were only a few people who blocked him. In the blink of an eye, countless people rushed to the rolling curtain and waved various weapons to greet the rolling curtain.

Amidst the chaos of sticks and hammers, the curtain seemed to have fallen into trance. He slowly reached out to hold his head, squatted down, and let them beat him.

There was chaos outside the palace gate, and inside the palace gate, the soldiers of the imperial guard watched quietly, with a kind of confusion in their eyes.

They never dreamed that the king who "loved his people like a son" would end up like this.

Amidst the flying sand and dust, the roller blind covered his head and closed his eyes tightly. A stream of blood slowly flowed down from his forehead, and was quickly stained by sand and dust, turning into a deathly gray color.

A mouthful of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, but he laughed.

On the city wall, Xuanzang asked softly: "The rolling curtain general is Taiyi Jinxian, but these people don't even have the slightest cultivation level. Will they die?"

"Yes." Tianpeng sighed softly: "The spiritual protection has been removed, leaving only pure flesh and blood... It's just a matter of time."

Hearing this, Xuanzang couldn't help but fell silent.

Countless refugees poured into the palace gate like a tide, and the guards inside made way for them to make way for a passage.

They ran all the way and soon found the so-called grain depot in the palace, which was not very large.

However, when they opened the door, they saw only a few sparse bags of grain.

The refugees, who had already fainted from hunger, quickly rushed in, fought over it, grabbed the uncooked rice grains and stuffed them into their mouths. For a moment, the scene was more cruel than the battlefield.

The only food was quickly robbed, and countless refugees poured back to the palace gate.

There, the drama of beating up the king was still going on, and no one could stop it.

Initially, the refugees used roller shutters to vent their anger, but no matter how hard they hit them, they would not be able to relieve their anger. But slowly, some people began to notice something strange. So many people beat him, but he didn't die? Moreover, the knife cannot penetrate, and the sword cannot penetrate.

Gradually, those people began to retreat, leaving only Roller Blind lying with scars all over his body, looking at the sky, laughing.

"Tell me! Where did you hide the food? Why is there only so little food in the granary!"

Roller Blinds chuckled.

At this moment, someone screamed: "Food! The food is coming!"

Suddenly, commotion broke out.

Before the roller shutter could react, something fell from the sky and hit him in the face.

Tianpeng looked up and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "Is this... Liang Yu?" (To be continued ~^~)
