The Monkey King

Chapter 559: ultimatum

With the roar of   , the Nantian Gate opened again.

  The clouds drifted.

  Monkey looked up, and the people standing inside the door were still Li Jing, Nezha, and Qingxin, and he couldn't help frowning.

  Li Jing quietly winked at Qing Xin.

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

Behind him, Li Jing and his son followed closely.

  The monkey leaned on the golden hoop crookedly, and hummed from a distance: "Didn't I say I don't want this envoy? Li Tianwang is old, and his ears are not good or what?"

  Li Jing smiled awkwardly.

   Walking all the way to the monkey, the three stopped. Li Jing and Nezha both bowed their hands and bowed their hands in salute, but the only one who stood upright and looked erratic, no matter where the hand was placed, it seemed that something was wrong.

  Monkey looked at the three of them and sighed: "Why, are they all dumb?"

   Qingxin lowered his head slightly and coughed twice: "Let me continue to be the envoy, this is what the master meant. If you have any opinions, you can talk to him."

"Are you using the old man to oppress me?" The monkey was stunned, then waved his hand and said, "Yes, I don't care about this with you, where is my food? Also, don't mention your requests to me again. I I came here to ask for something, not to bargain."

  Li Jing quietly nodded to Qingxin.

Seeing this, Qingxin took a deep breath and said, "I will give you food, but I'm afraid it won't be as much as you want, and it won't be given as you want. I hope you can understand, Heavenly Court. There are also difficulties in Heavenly Court. ."

  Monkey slowly raised his head, looked at Li Jing, and then looked at Qingxin: "Then what are you going to do? Let's hear it."

   At this question, Qing Xin looked at Li Jing again, this time Li Jing simply took a step back.

Without any choice. Qing Xin had to bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty's meaning is that you can't give food directly. This goes against the rules of heaven's rule of the world. The original plan, since it was a man-made disaster, let it develop and only teach mortals a lesson. But since you brought it up I don't want to refute your face. Disaster relief can be done, but it can't be done as you said."

  Monkey nodded and said, "Go on. Go on."

   "Your Majesty means. If you give food directly, it will definitely give the world an idea of ​​what will happen next. No one can tell. Therefore, there are other ways to alleviate the disaster."

   "How?"

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

  Monkey's brows couldn't help frowning: "You mean, the Jade Emperor is going to send an army of 100,000 to help me do this?"

   Qingxin blinked his eyes and said, "In short, there is a way. The disaster can definitely be alleviated, but it's not possible to do what you said so that people in the whole Wuji country don't have to worry about food and drink."

  Monkey thought for a moment, then replied, "What if I don't have enough food?"

"Not enough is definitely not enough. Basically, it means to ensure that there will be no large-scale famine. Now time is running out, what you want is a year's food, and if you drag it on, the mortal world is probably already gone. It's been a year. If you're still worried. I can accompany you as a hostage."

   "You? As a hostage?"

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

   For a while, the two of them looked at each other.

   After a long time, the monkey burst out laughing: "Thank you for your reminder, but forget it, I still want Li Tianwang as the 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 shocked, and the cold sweat broke down.

  Monkey said with a smile: "This heaven is sometimes quite boring, why don't you go to the mortal world with me?"

   "Great... Great Sage, there is still something important to do in Heaven at the end..."

   "Important? Do you mean to say that my business is 'nosy'?"

   Li Jing was startled, and quickly shook his head and waved his hands: "No, no! Great sage, the last will never mean this! It's just..."

   "Just don't appreciate your face?" Looking at Li Jing, the monkey's eyes slowly narrowed into a slit.

  In an instant, Li Jing's heart skipped a beat, he wiped his sweat quickly, and said sternly, "The last will understand, the last will go down to earth with the Great Sage!"

   "That's right." The monkey patted Li Jing's back with a smile, glanced at Qing Xin like a demonstrator, and dragged Li Jing to the direction of Nantianmen.

   Qingxin's brows were furrowed so tightly that his teeth were about to shatter.

   She really couldn't figure it out, what's so good about this monkey, why did Queer and Fengchi like it? Not only fell in love, but also the kind of disregarding liking, in the end, he even took his own life, and he has no regrets...

   She really wanted to stay away from this monkey. It's best not to meet each other forever. It's best not to have such a past event at all, but the memories of two lifetimes are pressing ahead.

   That kind of feeling is hidden in his blood, seeping into his bone marrow, whether he hates it or rejects it, he can't get rid of it no matter what. Maybe... this is true love, not because he is so good, there is no interest in it, it is just the simplest feeling, but it is unforgettable.

  If this kind of thing happened to her, she would have to laugh at each other. In the eyes of cultivators, love is simply an act of not doing the right thing.

   But now she can't even laugh, because she suddenly feels that she is a joke. It's a ridiculous feeling to like a piece because it doesn't belong to you, or because of a memory from a previous life.

   Faintly, she hated herself a little bit.

When    arrived at the gate of Nantianmen, Li Jing ordered to prepare, and soon, those advanced troops with higher cultivation levels were ready to go out.

   Looking at the generals and monkeys of Nantianmen who flew away, Qingxin hesitated for a long time, and finally followed.

   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. It has been a month since the monkey left Wuji Country.

   The whole disaster situation is obviously worse than before.

   However, the crisis faced by roller shutters has long been more than just a deterioration of the disaster.

   A large number of refugees entered the city, turning the entire capital into a refugee camp. The continuous fighting in the city due to the shortage of food has exhausted the already complaining troops.

  In the beginning, although large-scale uprisings broke out all over the country, the turmoil that lasted for several years led to famine. But the various problems in the capital still seem manageable. On the one hand, the prestige of rolling shutters in the capital is obviously higher than in other places, and the implementation of various decrees is relatively better. On the other hand, the capital was right under his nose, and if there was a slight disturbance, he knew immediately.

   After all, he is a person from Taiyijin Fairyland, and this thing still can't be difficult for him.

   So, although the whole country is already on the verge of collapse. But the situation in the capital is still much better. Although various contradictions have been accumulating, they have not yet reached the critical point of eruption.

   These people can be said to be the last supporters of roller blinds.

   However, now the situation has changed.

   A large number of refugees entered the city, and fighting continued. As long as the residents of any capital city opened their doors at dawn, they could smell a strong stench of rancidity. The streets are full of refugees, even corpses.

   As the number of refugees gradually increased, the limited control of the roller blinds became weaker. Various incidents of burglary and robberies were heard incessantly, and the entire capital became like a refugee camp. The support of the roller blinds has dropped rapidly.

   Soon, the political situation of the court changed.

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

  Because there was little food left in the treasury, Roller Shutter had to order a reduction in the rations quota. As a result, the soldiers who could not get enough food mutinied, and under pressure, the general led the soldiers to loot a granary, and withdrew from the city with only a little food. Declares that he will no longer obey the king's orders.

   This move really caused a big problem for the roller shutter.

   First of all, this is a mutiny initiated from the bottom up, and it is not something you can solve by capturing the thief first. Second, how should this matter be handled?

   If the roller blinds directly send troops to conquer, how many troops can he call? The South Gate defenders mutiny, and the remaining troops are already stretched thin. If they were recruited again, it would be impossible to control the chaotic situation in the city.

  If it doesn't matter, other troops will soon follow suit. The most important thing is that the roller shutter has made a bad start, that is, the deduction of the army's rations. In this way, everyone is watching. If the mutiny of the South Gate defenders is over, then what are they waiting for instead of running with the only food they have?

   For this reason, Xuanzang had to bite the bullet and go to the military camp to try to persuade the mutinous soldiers with his three-inch tongue.

   However, for preaching and preaching, who will listen to you when you are hungry? After tossing 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 order of the rolling shutters, 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, and even those courtiers had to stay in the palace with their families.

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

   They assembled and turned into rebels, surrounded the palace, shouted day and night, and gave the curtains three days to send the food out to the refugees, otherwise they would attack by force, and no one in the palace would want to live.

   At this moment, the roller blind felt that the sky was dark and dark, and he wanted to cry without tears.

   Even his scope of activities is only the palace. At this point, what else can he do except pray for the monkeys to deliver food sooner?

   For the past three days, the roller blinds have been in a daze, no matter where they go, they keep moaning and sighing as if they have lost their souls. Occasionally someone called him, and when he opened his mouth, the first sentence must be: "Is the food coming, is the food coming?"

  In the early morning of the third day, the ragged rebels gathered early at the outer gate of the palace, ready to attack.

  Rolling Curtain stood on the tower and watched the sparsely formed rebels below. After a long silence, he said softly: "Marshal, Rolling Curtain finally understands. Governing a country is not just a passion."

As he said that, he smiled lightly and said, "Let's go with Master Xuanzang in a while. The roller blind knows that he has sinned deeply, and it is time to atone for it. I can see that you are safe and sound, and the roller blind is satisfied." continue~^~)
