The Monkey King

As dusk fell, the swaying suspended ship quickly sailed into the small port of Pantaoyuan.

Monkeys and wind chimes stood side by side on the deck looking at the boundless sea of ​​flowers.

A breeze blew by, bringing up waves of pink fluorescence. In the darkness, coupled with the night view of the courtyard, it gave people a dream-like feeling.

"Line up—!"

A roar came from the high suspension bridge.

On the pier, a whole military formation of heavenly soldiers had already been assembled. One by one, they banged their breastplates heavily and shouted: "Welcome Sir Si Yuan——!"

In the other direction, dozens of civil servants and hundreds of immortal slaves also raised their hands: "Welcome to Sir Si Yuan!"

Seeing this, the monkey raised his head slightly, glanced sideways at the two people standing next to him, and asked with a half-smile: "Did you just explain it?"

Hearing this, the two people immediately wiped their sweat violently.

Zhou Siyuan said hurriedly: "It makes the Lord laugh. This...this is all the big guy's intention. How can I explain it? Right? Everyone knows your majesty and reputation, and everyone doesn't know it?"

"That's right! It's what everyone means! Hahahaha." Zhang Yongyuan hurriedly agreed.

"Yes, I quite like it." The monkey nodded and stepped onto the suspension bridge that had just been lowered.

The two of them relaxed slightly.

Leading the crowd, Monkey and his party slowly walked across the suspension bridge. The leaders of the soldiers and civil servants came up to him immediately, but before they could speak, they were driven away by Zhou Siyuan who jumped in front.

He bowed and cupped his hands and said: "My lord, when you first arrive, let your humble position lead the way."

"Okay, you can lead the way." The monkey said casually.

Surrounded by this large group of people, the monkey slowly walked through the narrow dock area, passed through the towering fence covered with defensive circles, and entered the peach garden.

Along the way. It is full of peach blossom fragrance, coupled with eye-catching pink fluorescence. The scenery is like walking through a scroll while holding a lantern.

"Sir." Zhou Siyuan bowed and walked in front of the monkey and whispered: "The big guy has prepared a banquet for you, just in front."

"Oh? Have all my seals arrived?"

Zhou Siyuan quickly glanced at the clerk on the side, turned around and whispered: "The seal has arrived. It's just... our ship had some problems just now and was moving slowly. Now the envoy has gone back and only sent the seal Stayed.”

"In this case, I have to receive the seal first."

"This..." Zhou Siyuan smiled awkwardly and said, "Sir, it's getting late. Let's handle the handover tomorrow."

"That's not possible." The monkey glanced at Zhou Siyuan and said, "What if this matter gets out, and I'm framed for neglecting my duty?"

Having said this, Zhou Siyuan could not persuade him any more, so he could only say in a low voice: "Your Excellency is diligent in his duties and is indeed a role model for us."

Say it. He glanced at the clerk on the side. The clerk immediately understood and broke away from the team and trotted ahead.

…

Yaochi.

Taibai Jinxing put down the jade slip that was close to her lips and said softly: "I'm reporting to you, the monkey head has arrived at Pantaoyuan."

"Then what?" the Queen Mother asked coldly.

The look on his face was much calmer than before.

"Then... Zhou Siyuan invited him to the banquet, but he refused. He said he was afraid... of being guilty of 'neglect of duty'. He would not sit down until the handover was completed."

The Queen Mother took a deep breath and rubbed the ring with her hand. After a long while, he chuckled and said, "This monkey is quite suspicious. It's just that he's a little too narrow-minded. If I want to arrest him, how can I use such a small charge as 'neglect of duty'?"

…

An hour later, Taibai Jinxing put down the jade slip that was close to her lips and whispered: "Empress Qi, the monkey head has received the seal, and now... the handover begins."

"Handover?" The Queen Mother couldn't help but frowned: "It's so late, does he really want to complete all the handover matters today?"

"It depends on the situation, that's it."

"It's good." The Queen Mother said leisurely: "It's better to hand over the job earlier and take office earlier, so I can take him earlier."

…

Another two hours passed.

The Queen Mother, who had fallen asleep with her forehead resting on the low table, suddenly woke up with a slight pause. She asked, "How is the monkey head? Has the handover been completed?"

Taibai Jinxing pursed her lips and whispered: "Reply to the empress, he...he is still looking at the account book."

"Still looking at the account book?" The Queen Mother couldn't help but hesitated for a moment and asked, "How long has it been since you've been here and you still haven't finished reading it?"

"I haven't finished reading yet." Taibai Jinxing bowed and said, "I just saw the second volume. He said that he has never been to school since he was a child and is not very literate. Now... he is letting the palace maid named Feng Ling teach him one by one."

"Teach them one by one? Are you learning calligraphy now?" The corner of the Queen Mother's eyes couldn't help but twitch.

…

So, the day passed.

On the early morning of the sixty-fifth day when the monkey ascended to heaven, Taibai Jinxing stood in front of the Queen Mother and said: "I would like to inform you, the monkey has read all the ledgers... now... now he wants to start counting peaches."

"Counting peaches?" Hearing this, the Queen Mother snorted coldly and said, "It's really not a matter of detail. Although there are many peaches and peach blossoms, they all have sufficient spiritual power. With the monkey's cultivation level, I'm afraid he can only use his spiritual consciousness to It’s just a matter of scanning. It doesn’t even take a cup of tea.”

Taibai Jinxing coughed twice and said cautiously: "He means...count them one by one."

"Count... one by one?" The Queen Mother was dumbfounded.

How many peach trees are there in the peach orchard? There are thousands of trees alone, but how many peaches and peach blossoms are there?

The Queen Mother slowly closed her eyes, her expression extremely ugly, but she could only sigh: "I'm afraid it will take another day or two..."

Taibai Jinxing swallowed dryly, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and whispered: "Empress Qi, he just counted to 1,500, but...but he claimed that he was distracted, I counted wrong, so now I’m counting from the beginning again.”

After saying that, Taibai Jinxing moved back skillfully.

Suddenly, the Queen Mother even leaned back slightly, her eyes as wide as copper bells.

A moment later, a hysterical scream suddenly resounded through Yaochi, and everyone in the Xian'eqing family in the palace couldn't help but be shocked.

"This, this, this... this monkey is not over yet! You! Taibai Jinxing! You said three days and three days! It's the fifth day now, and the monkey is still living well in Pantaoyuan. He has not been re-elected! You should tell me what clever plan you have! You should tell me——!"

Before he finished speaking, a candlestick was seen flying towards the Taibai Venus.

…

Ten days later. In the imperial study room of Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor sat expressionless, closed his eyes and sighed, saying, "Has he finally finished counting his peaches?"

"Your Majesty." Roller Blind said hesitantly: "The peaches are over."

The Jade Emperor slowly opened his eyes and said, "Tell me, what does he want to do now? Continue counting peach blossoms?"

"There is no such thing as counting peach blossoms. He also said he would count them, but that will happen later. Now he wants to...he wants to check the bottom line."

"The bottom line?" The Jade Emperor was immediately stunned.

What's the bottom line? The ledger is something that records exactly when each tree and flower blooms and when it bears fruit. Tens of millions of years. This pile of things is as high as a mountain... He wants to proofread it one by one?

The Jade Emperor slapped his forehead with his palm and said tightly: "I understand. How can he delay time? This monkey! He is really the most rogue! The most rogue!"

After that, he punched Long An hard with his fist.

Roller Blinds was so shocked that he quickly lowered his head.

At this moment, the Jade Emperor really felt a burning sensation in his heart.

After being the Jade Emperor for so long, he had never encountered such a rogue subordinate, who actually used the rules of heaven to play an inexplicable game with him.

But even so, what can he do? Should he order the monkey head to take over directly, skipping all procedures?

If so. If anything happens in the future, the monkey head can rely entirely on that imperial edict. In this case, wouldn't it mean that he tried to push him into the fire pit but failed, and ended up giving him an amulet?

After pondering for a long time, the Jade Emperor gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice: "Where is Yaochi? Did the Queen Mother do anything? Could it be that she just let the monkey continue to toss. After counting the peaches, check the account, after checking the account, Peach Blossom, what if everything has been tested. Hericium says it needs to be re-examined again? Keep going like this. Let alone a year and a half, even if it is given to him for three to five years, he may not be able to finish it!"

Roller Blind said hesitantly: "That monkey hasn't even finished the handover yet. How can the Queen Mother get a handle on him? Without a handle, there is naturally no action. But..."

"But what?" Jade Emperor raised his eyes and asked.

"Your Majesty, however, all armies have carried out drills in the past few days, and the locations are mostly chosen in the Yaochi area."

"Selected in the Yaochi area?" The Jade Emperor suddenly felt his head grow bigger. What kind of bad thing is this? He gritted his teeth and said: "What are they doing near Yaochi? Who asked them to go? Is there any reason to go to the Nine Heavens to train troops without reporting it in advance?"

"There are all the participating armies, and most of them are small groups. Maybe it is because the scale is too small, so they are not reported. But when they are gathered together, there are hundreds of thousands of people."

"What exactly happened? Have you found out?!"

Rolling curtain hurriedly lowered his head and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the details...have not been found out yet. However, it is speculated that it was Taibai Jinxing. The Queen Mother was afraid of the force of the monkey head and wanted to mobilize troops to protect Yaochi, but she did not have military power at hand, so... …”

"So you bribed the young generals in the army and asked them to pull out all the troops they had and go to the Yaochi for training?"

"That...should be so."

The Jade Emperor took a deep breath and sighed: "Check carefully! This matter is big or small, please check carefully for me!"

"promise!"

"There's more!" The Jade Emperor pointed at the rolling curtain and shouted: "Quickly think of a way for me to defeat that monkey-headed trick! If you don't think of it, ask Tianfu, doesn't he have a whole staff group? Give them all. Let me think about it carefully! I don’t believe that I can’t defeat this monster monkey!”

"No...No." (To be continued ~^~)
