Chapter 249: Monkey King
After carrying out this series of operations, Zhang Xuanfang wanted to turn his head and talk to Zong Lu, but saw Zong Lu kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to him.
Looking at the Ruan sisters again, I found that they also knelt and kowtowed.
Zhang Xuan was surprised: "Old Zong, what do you mean by this?" ”
Zong Lu prostrated himself and responded: "Hero, I sincerely apologize to you, apologize for your sins, and express my heartfelt thanks!" ”
Zhang Xuan said: "You thank me, I can understand it, where does this apology and reparation begin?" ”
Zong Lu responded: "In the past, I was unheard of and blind, but when the envoys of the Bataan Kingdom praised your merits, I thought that he was a gossip and nonsense, and someone dragged him out; When you appeared in front of me, I mistook you for a monster and thought that you were very disrespectful to you by talking big things. After you exterminated those monsters that plagued people, I was so ashamed that I would die of remorse, and even if I killed myself, I could not offset the sin of disrespect for you. However, for the sake of the stability of the country, I cannot kill myself, but I beg you, Lord, to forgive me for my disrespectful acts, so that I may have some peace of mind! ”
"What are you talking about?" Zhang Xuan said indifferently, "Those who don't know are not to blame, we have never known each other, you mistook me for a monster, this is actually normal, what is the crime?" Hurry up! You are the king of a country, and it is unseemly to kneel to a commoner like me! ”
Zong Lushang refused to get up from his knees, so Zhang Xuan had no choice but to use his magic power to lift him up from the ground, and then hold up the Ruan sisters.
"You just said that the envoys of Bataan praised my merits, what is going on?" Zhang Xuan asked Zong Ludao.
When Zong Lu asked, he had no choice but to tell Luda about it with a face full of shame.
After listening to Zong Lu's narration, Zhang Xuan suddenly said in his heart: What is the damn guy in Cangsuo, why is he doing such a high-profile job? If you crown me as the general of the general of the general of the heavens and martial arts, do you still want to help the monarch of the country to follow suit, and also give me such a nondescript title?
Zong Lu said: "The hero has come to Laoton, so let's rest with me for a while." ”
After that, he took Zhang Xuan to the buildings in the palace. However, instead of entering any of these halls, he came to a bell pavilion and pulled the bell rope to strike the bell.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Xuan faintly guessed something, and asked, "Old Sect, this bell should be a signal to summon those hidden people to come out, right?" ”
"Indeed!" Zong Lu put down the bell rope and responded, "I asked everyone in the palace to hide, and dealt with those big demons alone, intending to sacrifice myself to save them. It is the people in the imperial city, and I also ordered them to close their doors and close their doors, extinguish the lights and hide, but the great demon has already posted a notice to let the residents of the city hold the lights and wait, otherwise they will slaughter the city. Because of this, the people of the imperial city had to put up lanterns, and as for whether they hid after holding the lanterns, then I don't know. ”
Zhang Xuan shook his head when he heard this. When he flew over the Imperial City, he did see the dotted lights, and at that time he thought that the residents of the Imperial City did not know the news that the Great Demon was coming, and only then did he understand the reason.
Zong Lu spoke as he led Zhang Xuan into a large hall with an open door and no attendance.
The palace people had not yet come out of their hiding place, so the Ruan sisters had to follow up and wait, cooking tea and pouring water.
After the meal, some palace people came in one after another to replace the Ruan sisters.
"This is Zhang Daxia, it was he who destroyed those monsters, saved me, and saved the people of the city."
Zong Lu pointed at Zhang Xuan and said to the palace people.
When the palace people heard this, they hurriedly prostrated themselves and kowtowed, thanking Zhang Xuan for saving his life.
Seeing this, Zhang Xuan said to Zong Lu: "You don't have to accompany me, go and appease your family!" ”
Zong Lu nodded, said goodbye to Zhang Xuan, and left in a hurry, only coming back after half an hour.
If he escaped death, he will definitely have a surprise exchange with his family for the rest of his life, and he will definitely explain to his subordinates on duty the matters that need to be handled urgently after the disaster.
When Zong Lu returned, Zhang Xuan was enjoying the music played by the Ruan sisters.
"You have so many things to schedule and arrange, why are you in such a hurry to come back?" Zhang Xuan glanced at him and asked.
"Anything else is a chore compared to being with you." Zong Lu replied with a smile, "The thing I have arranged is to hold a court meeting tomorrow, in addition to appeasing the people of the city. And there is only one theme of the court, which is to crown you as the Monkey King and the generalissimo of the world! ”
When Zhang Xuan heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
If he accepts Zong Lu's edict again, he will already accept the edict of the three great monarchs of the Crouching Tiger Planet, and the titles are more outrageous than the other. If Sima Letian, the monarch of the Chai Na Kingdom, conferred on him as the general of the free and the demon slaying envoy in accordance with his wishes, then the monarch of the Bataan Kingdom conferred on him the general of the Tongwen and Wuwu Dynasty is more exaggerated and funny. Now, Zong Lu, the monarch of the country of Fulao, actually plans to crown him as the Monkey King and recruit generalissimos for soldiers and horses all over the world, which is exaggerated and absurd.
He didn't know if this was due to Zong Lu's true intentions or if Zong Lu was stimulated by something, but he knew that he would most likely not be able to refuse.
"Lao Zong, the name of this Monkey King, loud and loud, but very unworthy of the name, you named me the Monkey King, even I feel funny." Although he knew that he couldn't refuse, Zhang Xuan still had to say his thoughts, "Besides, the generalissimo of soldiers and horses has always been served by the royal family, and I, an outsider, can afford such a title!" ”
"Leave that alone." Zong Lu responded, "I have already discussed this matter with a group of royal family seniors, and they all agreed. You saved the entire Fulao Dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration for me to give you the throne, and the title of Generalissimo of Soldiers and Horses is nothing to be won by recruiting soldiers and horses in every world! ”
When Zhang Xuan heard this, he knew more and more that he was not Zong Lu's stubbornness, but he couldn't help but worry that Cang Suo would change his title to a more bizarre title after knowing that Zong Lu did this. Cangsuo sent envoys to support the country, among other things, it should be to show his generosity in the edict seal Xuan, but when he found out that Zong Lu was more generous in this regard, Cangsuo was destined not to be indifferent.
Alas, they can seal it as much as they want, anyway, it's all a false name, and it's not worth taking seriously.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Xuan fell asleep in this hall.
waited until Zhang Xuan fell asleep before Zong Lu left.
The next day, Zong Lu sat on the throne to preside over the court meeting.
The ministers shouted long live, and some important ministers went out to say some auspicious words about Zonglu's immortality and blessing, praising him as a Ming monarch who was particularly favored by God.
In the face of these flatteries, Zong Lu did not respond with a straight face, but invited Luda, the envoy of the Bataan State.
That Ruda had been dragged out of the court before, and he should have fled back to Bataan in disgrace, but he stubbornly stayed here, claiming that if he didn't explain the things that Cangsuo had explained, he would stay here for the rest of his life. Seeing that he was acting like a scoundrel, the officials of Honglu Temple did not pay much attention to him, and only provided him with one meal a day, so that he could barely starve to death.
Unexpectedly, the pro-emperor Zonglu had just passed a mortal catastrophe, and he was going to re-summon Luda. Seeing that Luda was already hungry, the officials of Honglu Temple had to find him some simple food to eat and let him eat all the way, so that he could have the energy to answer questions when he saw Zong Lu.
When Luda, who was originally wilted, heard that Zong Lu had summoned him, he immediately came to his senses, pushed those foods aside, and said, "I don't need these things now, so you should keep them for yourself!" ”
This sentence made the officials of Honglu Temple tremble, thinking that Luda was going to sue them in front of the emperor.
