Chapter 167: Fiction and Reality
The atmosphere inside and outside the door can be described as very eerie.
The monkey's expression froze, and his gaze kept going back and forth between the two of them. The two people in the room were both smiling and groaning, the difference was that Yun Xi looked at the monkey, while the macaque king turned his back to the monkey, looked at the stage, and never looked back.
Gently stroking the teacup in his hand, the Macaque King said softly: "Since the general is here, why do you stand outside the door and not come in?"
Hearing this, the monkey had to laugh dryly and take a step forward. For a while, I didn't know what to say.
Yun Xi lowered his gaze and sighed with a smile: "It turns out that the people such as His Royal Highness the Macaque King are generals. It was a surprise. ”
The macaque king replied in his rounded tone, "Wouldn't it be too boring if everything was expected? There are many unexpected things. That's how the world is colorful, isn't it?"
"I'm afraid that sometimes it's too colorful, so that Yunxi's heart can't stand it. Yun Xi half-covered his lips and smiled, and said, "Since the general has come, Yun Xi will not accompany the macaque king to drink tea, so as not to hinder the two of them from listening to the play." ”
Saying that, Yun Xi had already gotten up, blessed his body to the macaque king, saluted, and bowed to the monkey again, passed by the monkey, and left the room.
The monkey stared sideways, until Yun Xi's figure completely disappeared from his afterglow, and then slowly turned his head and looked at the macaque king with his back to him.
Behind him, the door slammed shut.
In the luxurious room, the monkey stared at the macaque king, who stared calmly at the stage in the distance.
At this time, the opera seemed to have reached the Gaoqi Dynasty, and the macaque king stretched out his hand and gently gestured, and hummed along in a low voice.
"Did you do it on purpose?"
"Is it deliberate?"
"Isn't it?" the monkey rolled his eyes.
"Not really. This Qisi Pavilion was originally run by Yun Xi, she is the junior sister of the multi-eyed prime minister, and the whole demon knows it. It's not that I didn't tell you in advance that I asked you to meet here, whether to come or not to come is all voluntary. ”
"I just came to the demon capital, how can I know where this is?"
"Then I can't blame me. The macaque king turned his head with a smile, made a gesture lightly, and said, "Sit down, don't stand." Now that he has made an appointment with this place, he does not care about his dignity. ”
That look, the monkey could only smile bitterly.
Walking to the table, the monkey sat down slowly.
In the small room, two people sat across the coffee table, looking at the stage in the distance.
Soon, a cup of hot tea was pushed in front of the monkey.
Looking at the steaming tea, the monkey sighed softly, "You here, you specially dug a trap for me to jump on." ”
Staring at the stage, the macaque king beat lightly, as if he was in a god.
"Tell me, what do you want?"
"Why do you want to ask me what I want, shouldn't you tell me what you want?" said the Macaque King with a smile on his face.
"How?"
"Last time you came to my house, I gave you 100,000 silver claws, and you accepted them. I thought we were already friends. Outcome...... You took such an important appointment and didn't tell me. It really chills me. ”
"It's not ...... Not a chance. ”
"Really?" the Macaque King smiled, and continued, "It's been in vain for all my efforts." Poor people, you gang, were cornered by the multi-eyed prime minister, and when you almost sat down empty, I also gave an order to let the workshops under the Quartermaster Department accept you as craftsmen. As a result, you didn't even ask. ”
Now it was the monkey's turn to be silent, and looked at the macaque king cautiously out of the corner of his eye.
Bowing his head and taking a sip of tea, the Macaque King looked at the stage, and then said: "First, I didn't tell me that I received the appointment, and second, I slandered the silver claws of the multi-eyed prime minister, and sent me a few boxes full of stones. I'm afraid I want to eat it both ways? To be honest, I don't like it very much. ”
At this point, the Macaque King closed his mouth, slowly turned his face sideways and said, "So, what do you want to do?"
The gaze was like a sharp knife, passing through the body. For a while, the unprepared monkey was somewhat panicked, so he had to laugh dryly: "I...... What can I do? It's nothing more than an errand assigned by His Majesty, and I have to find a way to do it. With a fortune, you have to do something, right?"
"Really?" the Macaque King suddenly laughed and said leisurely, "Mingren, don't talk darkly." In this demon capital, there are more smart heads, and I am afraid that some people will be mistaken by smart people. ”
"So you me?"
As soon as the monkey asked, the atmosphere in the room became a little colder. The two looked at each other, both expressionless.
After a while, the Macaque King looked at the stage again and sighed lightly: "You want to eat both sides, although I don't like it, but I don't object to it." But you've got to do me something, don't you?"
"For example?"
"For example, it makes the multi-eyed prime minister panic. As he spoke, the Macaque King pursed his lips and laughed.
"He panicked, and I couldn't get better. ”
"That's your problem, if you want to wander between the demon king and the civil official system, how can you do it without any ability?"
"Yes. The monkey nodded silently.
"I asked you to come over, not exactly to let Yunxi see you meet me, but most importantly, I still want to ask you what you want. ”
Hearing this, the monkey glanced coldly at the Macaque King, who was staring intently at the stage, and said, "Do you have to tell you?"
"You can leave it alone, but then the basis for our cooperation will be gone. I don't know when I'll step on your tail. ”
The monkey spread his hands and said: "If you want to be promoted, get a raise, be a big official, hug left and right, you can't eat all the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and you can't enjoy the glory and wealth." Do these count?"
"Of course, it's human nature. What else, if that's all you need, you can work well with Prime Minister Tamu, and you don't have to come here to see me. That way, it's a little safer. I've heard you're fighting each other these days. ”
"It seems that you know a lot about the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”
The macaque king raised his head slightly, looked down at the drama on the stage, and said leisurely: "I want to know, there is always a way." ”
......
Prime Minister's Office.
Yanxi hurriedly walked into the strange-eyed study, and arched her hand with a panicked face: "Yanxi, see senior brother." ”
The multi-eyed monster gave her a blank look.
Yun Xi on the side said softly: "Yanxi, where is that monkey now?"
"In ...... It should be in the camp. ”
"Should it be in the camp?" the multi-eyed monster snorted coldly and said, "Who is the one in the Silk Pavilion who is watching the play with the Macaque King?"
"He was still just now, how could he ......" Yanxi was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
"You were asked to serve in the new army, the commander is gone, and you don't know anything. If Yun Xi hadn't seen it, the old man would still be in the dark!"
Under the anger, Yanxi had to lower her head and say nothing. The hand couldn't help but clench the corner of the skirt.
"Senior brother is angry. Yun Xi on the side hurriedly said: "Yi Yunxi, the macaque king is about to be in the Qisi Pavilion, I'm afraid he intends to let us know." ”
"Intentionally? Hmph, is this a demonstration to the old man? I want the old man to feel that the stone monkey is leaning towards him, so that the old man will no longer support the stone monkey? The multi-eyed monster shook his head, and said: "Is that deliberately making a look of sowing discord for the old man to see, so that the old man mistakenly thinks that they don't actually have anything in private, and then continue to support the stone monkey? ”
False and real, for a while, the multi-eyed monster couldn't see through the intention of the macaque king.
The hostility of the Macaque King is obvious, and whatever his purpose is, in short, it will not be good intentions. This is something that has been known for a long time. Originally, it was nothing, but now the bad is bad, and the multi-eyed monster not only can't see the intention of the macaque king's move, but more importantly, he hasn't seen whether the monkey is loyal or not.
The eyes of the multi-eyed monster slowly narrowed into a slit.
In the current situation, it is impossible for him to rashly make the monkey surrender. In case one is not careful, forcing the originally half-hearted monkey to the opposite side, it will be more than worth the loss.
Thinking about it, the temples of the multi-eyed monster couldn't help but ache faintly.
"Senior brother, if you really can't help it. It's better to meet the stone monkey's initial request. ”
"The first request?" Hearing this, Duomu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
