The Monkey King

Kui Mulang laughed slowly: "You mean, after you leave, you won't tell anything about me?"

Canopy just stood quietly, watching, without answering.

"Do you think I believe you?" Kui Mulang asked with his eyes widened.

In the attic, Princess Baihuashy opened the window and watched in horror. The two children were so frightened that they hid in her arms.

A soldier squeezed out of the queue and ran towards the palace gate.

The other soldiers stared blankly, surrounding the two men with astonishment on their faces.

"What should we do? His Majesty asked us to round up the Prince Consort, and now the Prince Consort has come out..."

The soldiers surrounding the front row looked at each other, held their weapons, and moved slightly in the direction of Kuimulang. But before they could make the next move, a shout came from the outside of the encirclement.

"Get out of the way——! Get out of my way——!"

When they turned around, they saw the soldiers behind them sparsely making way for a passage, and a fierce general rode a horse into the center of the encirclement, reining in the reins and stopping.

The tall body of the horse was right between the soldiers who had just made a move and Kuimulang.

The fierce general dismounted hurriedly, but unexpectedly knelt down on one knee and shouted loudly: "General Xiyun, please see the Prince Consort!"

At this shout, all the soldiers were stunned.

Soon, all the soldiers sheathed their swords and knelt down to worship. Even the soldiers standing on the rooftops of nearby houses holding bows and arrows slowly let go of Xuan.

The general glanced at the canopy. He asked in a low voice: "Prince-in-law, do you need me to capture this person?"

Kuimulang breathed deeply, raised his head and glanced at the princess in the attic in the distance, then lowered his head and stared coldly at the canopy, saying: "Get out of my way. This matter is beyond your control. .”

"No!" The general nodded, stood up and stepped back. When the surrounding soldiers saw this, they all retreated one by one, and the encirclement quickly expanded a lot.

Youyou sighed and Tianpeng said: "It seems that you will not let me leave easily."

"I should say. I will never let you leave alive." Kui Mulang said coldly.

"Okay. In that case, let's fight somewhere else. Otherwise, if we're not careful, this city may be wiped off the map. It's better not to hurt innocent people and increase the guilt."

"Hehehe, I don't see that you still have such leisure time."

From a distance, Baihuaxi saw the two people turning into two beams of light. He disappeared from the spot in an instant, and his mind went blank.

The soldiers were all shocked from ear to ear, even the general who came in a hurry.

After a while, someone came to the general and said softly: "The prince-in-law is gone. How about... we take the opportunity to rescue the princess?"

"Save your mother!" The general turned around and punched the man in the face, knocking him to the ground.

The soldiers around him were stunned.

The general spit heavily, drew out the long sword from his waist and shouted: "Listen to me, the Prince Consort is not here. The Prince Consort's Mansion is now under our protection! No one is allowed to step into the Prince Consort's Mansion without my order. Those who will be killed immediately will not be pardoned!"

In the blink of an eye, the arrows and blades turned outward, and the army that came to besiege the Prince Consort's Mansion turned into the guards of the Prince Consort's Mansion.

After hearing this, Baihuaxi breathed a sigh of relief.

for this country. To win over the "big monster", the Prince Consort, is not just a simple matter of the king's family. First of all, it is a political struggle that stirs up the government and the opposition.

…

At the same time, a general hurriedly opened the door of King Baoxiang's study.

Several ministers had already gathered inside the door.

King Baoxiang sat on the throne with a cold expression and looked up at the general.

"Your Majesty." The general knelt down on one knee and respectfully raised his hands and said: "Something happened in the Prince Consort's Mansion. It was the young man in the monk's group who broke into the Prince Consort's Mansion at night with weapons. Now they are fighting with the Prince Consort. ”

King Baoxiang stretched out his hand to fiddle with the jade stone placed on the table, took a deep breath, and said leisurely: "I already know it. Hey... This monk seems to be a bit overweight, and he has already taken action before tomorrow. Also. The king’s expectations for him are not in vain.”

"besides……"

"what else?"

"Your Majesty, just now, there was a fierce fight between the young man and the consort, and both of them turned into a golden light and ran away without a trace."

After saying this, King Baoxiang stood up immediately: "This is true!"

"Absolutely true!"

"Then what are you waiting for?" King Baoxiang quickly ran to the door, glanced in the direction of the Prince Consort's Mansion in the distance, turned his head and pointed at the general and scolded: "In this case, quickly send an order to Xi Yun Lead the troops into the Prince Consort's Mansion and bring the princess back!"

After being scolded, the general just knelt quietly and didn't move.

After a while, he swallowed dryly and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, General Xiyun... has changed his banner and is now the guardian of the Prince Consort's Mansion. The same goes for his soldiers..."

"What did you say?" King Baoxiang's eyes suddenly widened.

For a moment, his blood surged up and his whole face turned red. The fist was clenched tightly and trembling.

"Xi Yun...this Xi Yun...how dare..." Gritting his teeth, his eyes glanced back and forth in the room, and finally his eyes fell on a trembling minister.

Seeing King Baoxiang staring at him fiercely, the minister fell to his knees with a plop, kowtowed violently, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, spare your life!"

Step by step, he walked up to the minister. King Baoxiang raised his leg and kicked the minister who was pleading. He knocked him to the ground and shouted: "Come on, please give this old man some time to me." He will be thrown into the sky prison and will be interrogated and beheaded at Caishikou tomorrow at noon!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, I am loyal to Your Majesty! I have no second thoughts! I beg Your Majesty to spare my life!"

The two soldiers guarding the door rushed in. No matter what, he dragged the minister away who was crying so hard that he couldn't breathe.

"What's going on?" someone among the other ministers who were stunned asked in a low voice.

"Xi Yun was recommended by him...I heard he is still his nephew." Someone replied in a low voice.

After saying this, everyone shut up.

King Baoxiang was pacing back and forth in the study, breathing heavily, with blue veins showing on his forehead.

After a while, he stopped. He scolded the generals on the side: "Go and bring me the king's armor. I will personally kill this Xi Yun!"

The general hesitated for a moment, then bowed his head and said "Promise" and backed out of the door.

…

Soon, the king led his own soldiers and rushed out of the palace gate with great courage and came to the door of the Prince Consort's Mansion.

In a crowded alley. The two armies confront each other.

On the houses on both sides. Countless arrows were pointed at the king's soldiers.

Xi Yun rode a tall horse and walked slowly to the center of the two armies. He raised the saber in his hand and shouted loudly: "Who are you! This is a restricted area. No one can take a step forward."

The soldiers immediately made way for an aisle. At the end of the aisle, the fat king rode a horse and walked forward slowly, with a livid look on his face.

"Even this king is not allowed?"

Xi Yun was stunned immediately.

A general rode up to him slowly. He whispered: "They are His Majesty's personal soldiers...General, this matter may not end well."

The soldiers on the roof had slowly let go of Gong Xuan, and the soldiers in the alley were also faintly timid, and they all looked at each other.

Gritting his teeth, Xi Yun pushed his subordinates away, raised his saber and pointed it at the king, shouting: "No Song Hyun! Everyone, wait, don't take a step back -!"

With this roar, Gong Xuan, who had originally loosened his grip, pulled it up again. The soldiers also clenched their weapons one by one.

The king's eyes twitched slightly.

He rides on a white horse. Looking at Xi Yun from afar. He spurred the white horse to pace back and forth in the narrow alley.

In the capital, all the people closed their doors and windows. The only sounds left on the empty streets were the sound of soldiers' armor and horses' hooves.

Troops from all sides who had received the news were quickly converging here, however, with different purposes. Some came to support the king, and some came to rescue the prince-in-law. A mutiny had already taken shape.

The king raised his head high and looked around. He shouted sternly: "Point your weapons at me, do you want to rebel?"

The hostile soldiers looked at each other in shock and made no move.

Taking a deep breath, the king shouted loudly: "The nine tribes will be punished for the crime of rebellion! Xiyun is a traitor and traitor. He wants to rebel. Do you want to follow him in rebellion? Put down the weapons in your hands. I promise , only behead the criminal and ignore the rest!"

Still no action.

But the hesitation in the eyes of those soldiers became more and more obvious.

The muscles on Xiyun's face twitched violently, and the eyes that stared at the king were bloodshot.

You must know that he is just a general, and his power is far from enough in front of these soldiers. If the king continues to speak, no one knows what will happen.

Once he rebels, his body will be gone.

Seeing the king slightly opening his mouth again, Xi Yun snatched the bow from behind the saddle of the general beside him, pulled out the arrow from the quiver behind him, raised his hand and shot an arrow towards the king.

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

At this moment, the guard beside the king had quick eyesight and quickly bumped into the king's white horse.

With this collision, the king's body tilted slightly, and the arrow grazed his cheek, leaving a shallow blood mark, but it hit the throat of the flag bearer behind the king.

With a bang, the flag bearer fell off his horse and made no sound.

"Escort——!"

Suddenly, the king's soldiers shouted loudly.

The shield soldiers at the front rushed forward. In a hurry, several generals tore the king off his horse and protected him with shields.

In the panic, someone even shot a few arrows at Xi Yun and the crossbowman on the roof from behind.

This time it was completely blown away.

There is no room for negotiation between the two sides.

The crossbowmen on the roof began to fight back, and close combat broke out in the alley. The two sides fought together.

Hearing the sound of fighting here, several other armies in the city that were originally facing each other quickly joined the battle. For a time, the entire capital city was filled with loud killing sounds and rivers of blood flowed.

The raging fire soared into the sky, turning the sky into a dim red color.

In the midst of the chaos, a civil servant hurriedly came to the king who was being dragged around by a group of soldiers and could hardly find his way to the north. He whispered in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the rebels are strong, we should return to the palace as soon as possible. "

"Go back to the palace?" The king stretched out his hand to wipe away the blood splashed on his face, gritted his teeth, pushed the civil servant away, and roared: "Go away! Tonight, no matter what, we must get the princess back!"

He turned around and grabbed a saber from the hands of a general beside him, held his helmet and shouted: "Everyone, follow me——!"

"What to do with those children?" someone asked.

After a moment's hesitation, the king roared viciously: "Kill the evildoer without mercy!"

With hundreds of elite soldiers, he bypassed the place where Xi Yun's army gathered and quietly moved towards the other direction of the Prince Consort's Mansion.

At this time, a general led a dozen soldiers into the attic of the Prince Consort's mansion.

The princess was so frightened that she hugged her three children tightly, covered their eyes with her palms, and looked at the visitor in horror.

I saw the dozen soldiers who rushed into the attic quickly dispersed and closed the doors and windows in a hurry.

The general walked to the table step by step, blew out the oil lamp on the table, and said with cupped hands: "Your Highness, don't be afraid. We are the troops under General Xi Yun, and we are here to protect you."

The older child in the princess's arms raised his head and asked tremblingly: "Mom, is it grandpa who wants to kill his father and us?"

"No, grandpa wouldn't do that." The princess held her child tightly in her arms and whispered: "Don't be afraid, my mother is here. It will be okay. It will be okay... It's just a misunderstanding, it will be fine soon."

A pair of bright eyes, under the moonlight that filtered through the window lattice, were already filled with tears.

…

At this time, on the other side of the palace, Xuanzang stood on the roof holding Buddhist beads, watching quietly and sighing helplessly.

At this moment, even the dozens of soldiers who were originally guarding outside the house had joined the battle, and soldiers fighting could be seen everywhere on the streets.

The same clan, the same armor, the same flag, at this moment, in such a thorough street battle, the only way to distinguish between the enemy and ourselves is to ask questions.

In the dark, he looked at each other, and the first thing he said was to ask the other party who he supported, whether he supported the king or the consort. If they were not on the same side, they would fight with weapons.

The situation had quickly evolved into a complete coup. However, this is just the beginning.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers who lost control began to take advantage of the chaos and rush into people's houses, taking advantage of the people's gold and silver. For a time, the people in the city fled. The already extremely chaotic capital became even bloodier.

"Marshal Tianpeng and the others...where have they gone?" Xuanzang asked softly.

The little white dragon on the side thought for a while, pointed to the east and said: "They went there, they shouldn't go far."

"Let him come back quickly, otherwise..." Xuanzang did not continue, but just took a deep breath. (To be continued ~^~)
