In the hall, everyone entered early, and lined up on both sides under the guidance of the demon soldiers according to the male and female guests and their respective identities.

"The king has arrived!"

With the little demon shouting, all the demons knelt on the ground.

"Long live my king, long live, long live!"

Those who are not from the Huaguo Mountain series were stunned.

Ling Yunzi bowed his hand expectantly.

Ao listened to his heart and bowed, and Ao Cunxin frowned and had to follow.

Yuding Zhenren glanced at each other and stood still.

Even the wind chimes are a little uncomfortable.

Although her relationship with the monkey was closer than that of everyone present, she really never knelt down on the monkey.

When Yang Chan walked out of the side door of the main hall accompanied by Yang Chan, the monkey was also stunned, he frowned and glanced at Yang Chan lightly, but he didn't say anything.

When he stood on the edge of the throne, the monkey looked at the people under the steps, and suddenly felt a sense of superiority, as if there was a sense of estrangement from everyone.

When they were in Nantianmen, everyone said that they had also performed this kind of salute, but it was on the battlefield, in front of the army. Is it really good to have a "family banquet" like this?

"Let's take a seat. Yang Chan on the side coughed dryly and reminded in a low voice.

"Take your seats. The monkey hurriedly said lightly.

As he spoke, he sat down on the throne himself. Wearing a white long dress, Yang Chan, who was incredibly beautiful, sat on his side.

As everyone took their seats, the banquet began. As the prime minister of Huaguo Mountain, Lu Liugui gave an opening speech, and then the generals also toasted one after another.

In the process of toasting and celebrating, Yang Chan kept whispering in the monkey's ear about all the people present.

"Liugui is the earliest 'Mr.' in Huaguoshan. Now in a high position, most of his disciples are counted. It is also the banner of Wenchen. However, he is a little stricter than civil. Last time, I had a conflict with Shortmouth over the construction of a new barracks. In the end, although the mediation was successful, it was inevitable that there were still some mustards. Fortunately, he is not selfish, but there is nothing wrong. However, I had too much contact with him, and I was afraid that it would arouse the dissatisfaction of the sergeant. ”

"The short mouth is biased towards the mean, and the army has been under his control all these years, but he has made few achievements in tactical innovation. About 12 years ago, in Nanzhan Buzhou, he fought more and fought less, and he also suffered a defeat of the Tianhe Water Army, which was criticized. The young Zhuang faction in the army was mostly dissatisfied with him. ”

"The hydra is still the number one warrior in our army. Outstanding military achievements. He has a very high prestige in the army, especially among the officers and men at the grassroots level. It's a pity that he acts recklessly and has a strange style, which often angers the demon generals and even the heads of various departments. I still have more than a dozen excerpts for impeaching him on my side, and you can't get too close to him, otherwise it will easily cause other people to be unhappy. ”

"The big horn is really lackluster, but he is a patriarch, and Lingxi is your righteous daughter, and he has a conservative personality and does not like to stand out, but he is highly respected. I didn't make many enemies. You don't need to worry about walking around with him. ”

"Vegetarian...... Yisu is okay, and he has been by my side as my right and left hand all these years. Although he is a cultivator, he doesn't seem to have any talent, especially his mind is not very calm. Fifty years ago, I arranged her to serve as a commander in the army, and it has been fifty years since then, and she has not made many achievements, but her actions are still quite appreciated, and she has not lost face for me. Of course, in the end, she is a woman, and her subordinates are somewhat unconvinced. ”

"The sunspot is still so heavy, and he calls a group of subordinates brothers and sisters all day long, and he is very protective of his shortcomings. Last time, my subordinates provoked the people under the Peng Demon King, and it was obviously my own people's fault that I wanted to protect it, so the five demon kings were jointly impeached, and then I came out to blame his subordinates for barely suppressing it. It's best not to talk too much with Kuroko, I've had enough of his men. ”

"Lingxi is very low-key, she cultivates the enlightened Dao, and she is also quite talented, she doesn't love swords and soldiers, she doesn't like to conflict with people, and she is quite loved by Wenchen...... Of course, this has something to do with the fact that you didn't know when you would be able to come back at the time, and Liugui tacitly made her my successor by default. At the beginning, the Five Demon Kings and I had some conflicts, so I turned to support her, but then the five guys relented, and they gradually became estranged. ”

"The prestige of the Ten Thousand Saints Dragon King in the entire Huaguo Mountain is not low, and he is also quite dedicated, he thinks and does things thoughtfully, and can take into account the relationship between all parties. But it's still too close to the Bull Demon King......"

"Princess Wansheng is nothing, she is a dragon, and the Jade Emperor began to withhold the rain from Huaguo Mountain decades ago, so I simply let her be in charge of farming. It's all done well, and it's quite loved. This family is quite influential in Huaguo Mountain, and if you find a day, you can feast on them alone, and also declare your kindness to your subjects. But it's best to treat the Ten Thousand Saints Dragon King with the main banquet, and by the way, invite the Hydra couple like this, otherwise the problem on the Hydra's side will ......"

......

The monkey's brow furrowed widely.

"Does it need to be like this?" he asked in a low voice.

"As I said, Huaguoshan is no trivial matter. Your every move is watched by the entire Huaguo Mountain. Don't say it's you, I've been like that before. If you invite more people and say more words, countless interpretations will be derived. Huaguo Mountain is no longer the original Huaguo Mountain......"

The monkey was silent.

To the sound of drums, the dancing banshees went up to the temple to perform songs and dances.

In the midst of the festivities, the monkey held a cup and said some words of admonition or encouragement one by one, even the content of these words, what to say and what not to say, Yang Chan had already made the Internal Affairs Office carefully prepared.

Is this the emperor?

The monkey suddenly felt that his throne was hotter than the Jade Emperor's dragon chair.

I thought that they would get drunk at this family banquet like countless banquets before, but they didn't.

After three rounds of drinking, just when the monkey thought that the climax of the banquet was coming, Yang Chan announced his exit, on the grounds that there was still a celebration in the evening, and most of the people present had to participate.

On the way back to the residence, the serving demons followed closely behind, but the monkey had a feeling of loss.

The aisle is lined with all kinds of flowers and plants, and a breeze blows, and pieces of peach blossoms fall, like a rain of flowers.

After sending everyone away, he and Yang Chan strolled on the trail in the courtyard.

Clouds were flying in the sky, and the barracks and military harbors were suspended quietly like lotus leaves floating in a pond, and from time to time you could see warships leaving and entering the harbor.

In the distance, the monsters are putting up their lights. Prepare for tonight's celebration.

"Tonight's celebration is all about welcoming you back. At the same time, he will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds in this battle. It's different from a family dinner. There will be a lot of people you don't know. I'll introduce you one by one...... For these newcomers, we should give priority to encouragement, supplemented by beating, and remember not to get too close to the old ministers during the celebration. Although you are back, you must be able to suppress them, but I am afraid that the tail will be difficult to adjust, and it will be difficult to do it if they have complaints in their hearts and do not work hard. ”

"Half of the reason for Heavenly Court's defeat this time is because of party strife. If they feel that you see them very differently than the old ones, then soon the newcomers will huddle up against the old people...... After all, everyone wants to have a future. It doesn't matter if the strength is not good, if there are other reasons, who can be happy?"

"So the most important task tonight is to make the newcomer feel that the Monkey King doesn't treat them differently. The family banquet at noon invited the elderly, just to catch up with the old days. ”

"There's also the title, and then your title should be changed, and you can't continue to call the Monkey King. Bull Demon King, Peng Demon King...... They are also 'kings', and if you're just the Monkey King, that's a bit like him. The king of demon kings must have a more resounding name. The problem of salutation should not be underestimated. It stands for this name...... But this can be considered in the long run. ”

Yang Chan recounted the details of various power techniques over and over again, including the various shapes inside Huaguo Mountain.

The monkey was silent. Listening to it makes my scalp tingle.

He suddenly realized that the entire Huaguo Mountain was no longer recognized, and Yiqiē was not as beautiful as it seemed on the surface.

After a short break, two hours later, with the sound of drums, another feast began.

Different from the family banquet, this banquet is directly in the main hall of the Qi Tian Palace, the Ten Thousand Demon Palace.

Sitting on a high throne, through the open door of the temple, the monkey can see the clouds on the horizon at a glance, as if the heavens and the earth are under his feet, and there is a feeling of magnificence and looking down on all beings.

The eight black giant pillars that stand on the hall as spacious as a school field are full of finely carved demon war totems, solemn and solemn.

Under the giant pillar, low tables are densely arranged, and the civil and military demons bow to the monkeys three times and nine times below, and enter the table one by one.

Wenchen read out the reward for his military exploits in the palace, including the reward given to Wenchen in the name of the monkey privately, to thank them for their dedication to their posts for a hundred years.

As they stepped forward one by one to toast and thank them individually, Yang Chan introduced them one by one, and the monkey said a few paragraphs that he had already known by heart again and again.

His smile grew stiffer.

"Can you stop doing this? I'm so tired. The monkey asked in a low voice.

"No, you're the emperor. Yang Chan replied categorically.

The monkey was silent again.

After all the rewards were over, the feast began on time.

During the banquet, a servant girl accidentally spilled wine on the body of an important minister, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

The ministers, who were laughing and laughing, became silent for a while.

Soon, two court lieutenants stepped forward and lifted up the maidservants, who were still begging for mercy, and left.

The monkey looked at the figure that was constantly struggling, not knowing what kind of punishment she would receive, but looking at the expression, it was estimated that it was not light.

The atmosphere of the banquet was heated again, as if nothing had happened before.

The monkey, who had nothing to say anymore, turned his face to look at Yang Chan, only to see that she was still smiling faintly. The smile seems to be tailor-made, and there are no flaws, no joy or anger.

After a long time, the monkey sighed lightly, did not greet Yang Chan, got up and left through the side door.

After a while, seeing that the Monkey King had not returned to the throne for a long time, the courtiers began to whisper. Yang Chan hurriedly sent someone to find it.

After a while, a little demon tiptoed into Yang Chan's ear and whispered, "Our Lady of Qi, the king is in the attic." ”

"In the attic? The banquet is still open, why did he leave?" Yang Chan said slightly angrily.

"The little one has already said it, but ...... The king said he wanted to stay quiet. ”

Yang Chan frowned: "Take me over." ”

"No. ”

Under the leadership of the little demon, Yang Chan also hurriedly left the table through the side door, and the hall seemed to explode with flowers, and there were many discussions.

In the midst of all the disturbances, the wind chimes sat in their place blankly, blinking and watching.

......

Holding the hem of her skirt, Yang Chan walked up to the attic step by step, and saw the monkey leaning on the railing alone and looking at the night view of Huaguo Mountain.

Far away. Yang Chan took a deep breath and eased her eagerness. Walked over and chuckled, "What's wrong?"

"It's beautiful. It's really beautiful. Nibbling on a peach, the monkey pointed to the brightly lit Huaguo Mountain and said, "It's much more beautiful than what I saw in Heavenly Court." ”

After a moment of silence, the monkey continued, "But I wonder if this is what I want?"

"What do you want?"

The monkey swallowed the peach in his mouth, frowned and said a little dazedly: "A long, long time ago, when Huaguo Mountain was still very dilapidated, the troops couldn't even get together their armor, and many soldiers even went into battle shirtless. We relied on such patchwork troops to withstand the heavenly army and fight for a chance to live. Although many, many people died, we survived after all. ”

"Why?" he pursed his lips and laughed, then said, "Because there are too many rules in the heavenly court, there is infighting, so we have a chance." At that time, I was thinking, my Huaguo Mountain should not become like that in the end. But today, it seems that it has become like that. ”

Yang Chan was stunned for a moment.

"You...... Are you blaming me for not doing a good job?"

"What do you say?" the monkey took a deep breath, blinked his eyes, and tossed the uneaten peach in his hand. twitched the corners of his mouth slightly and smiled: "You did such a good job, how could I blame you?"

"You're just blaming me. Yang Chan glared.

The monkey licked his lips. I lowered my head and thought for a while, scratched my head, and said softly: "I just ...... Just not used to it. In the past, when there was a banquet, everyone hugged each other and laughed together. The horned snake said a few unpleasant words, and the servant girl splashed the wine on his face, and we had to make fun of him before we were willing, and we would never blame the servant. I don't understand, how...... How did it come to this? ”

Frowning tightly, the monkey looked at Yang Chan quietly.

Yang Chan also watched him quietly.

Under the moonlight, in the cool breeze, the two were relatively speechless.

Halfway through, the monkey bowed his head and said, "I'm sorry, you didn't say it." It's not good to be away for too long, so let's hurry back to the table. ”

After that, he took a step and left, passing by Yang Chan.

"Stop!"

The monkey hurriedly stopped and turned his back to Yang Chan.

"Do you think I deliberately wanted to do this?" asked Yang Chan in a daze.

The monkey did not answer.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Chan leaned on the fence and said in a low voice, "I...... I'm a human being, and this is Huaguo Mountain. How many of them do you think are convinced of me?"

The monkey bowed its head slightly.

Pursing her lips, Yang Chan said softly: "You are the demon king, you can live in Jiuding Town, what about me? I am just a human being who is incompatible with them, I don't rely on rules, I don't rely on power, what do I rely on to control them? Can I do it on their own? Do you know what kind of virtue these monsters are?"

The monkey still didn't speak, just tilted his head slightly.

The exhaled fog slowly drifts through the air.

Yang Chan's hand protecting her chest clenched slightly. "When you're not around, I often have nightmares. I dreamed that you came back and saw a scorched earth in Huaguo Mountain, and I cried loudly......"

"I dreamed that the Jade Emperor took you down, and no one went to save you......"

"I just want to think that when you come back, I want you to see a strong Huaguo Mountain no matter what......"

"In case something happens to you in Heavenly Court, I still have the bargaining chips to bargain with the Jade Emperor...... I can find a way to get you back. ”

A breeze blew, raising the monkey's cloak and bypassing Yang Chan's long skirt.

Yang Chan blinked her bright eyes, and her eyes gradually became a little more crystalline, and her tone gradually choked up.

She lowered her head and said, "It's good that I'm in charge of logistics at the mouth of the Guanjiang River, but I've never been a leader. I don't really understand, I don't understand anything...... I'm so scared I'll mess things up. If something happens in the underworld, I don't dare to sue you, for fear that you will directly rebel. I don't dare to sue them, for fear that they will have worries. At that time, Huaguoshan will disperse......"

The monkey slowly turned his head.

"The five demon kings are strong, short-mouthed and weak, and six crutches are pedantic, I am worried that the newcomers will usurp power and have to use them ......"

"I'm afraid that one day they will forget that you are still in the sky, and you are still in the enemy's formation, I can only keep trying to find ways to elevate your status. ”

"Every day, as soon as I open my eyes, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at me. I'm a human being, they're all monsters, they calculate me together, they don't use power, they don't need the strictest laws, you sue me, what should I do?"

"I'm just an Enlightened Dao Cultivator who refines the God Realm. There were a lot of people in the palace who could take my life just now, you know?"

For a moment, the monkey was speechless and could only stand dumbfounded.

Yang Chan clutched her chest and lowered her head. In the moonlight, long hair obscured his face, and tears fell one by one.

This is a tear that has been held back for a whole hundred years.

The monkey could only stare blankly.

The woman in front of her used the strength of one person to support the entire Huaguo Mountain, creating a miracle, just to wait for him to return.

"They're all guessing that you might not come back. I'm also worried that you won't come back...... Before the war began, I ordered the celebration to be prepared. They thought I was confident...... Actually, I'm just afraid that I won't have the opportunity to give this order...... I'm really scared...... I'm afraid you'll be like my mother...... There's no going back. ”

Tears have burst the embankment.

Under the moonlight, the body trembled slightly, reaching out to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, but was grabbed by the monkey by the wrist.

Yang Chan raised her head and stared blankly at the monkey.

"I'm sorry. The monkey looked at her face quietly, smiled faintly, reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said softly: "Now that I'm back, leave the rest to me." I'm in charge of all the big things. ”

Yang Chan blinked her eyes and stood silently.

A crisp sound came from afar, and the exploding fireworks lit up the entire sky, as well as the figures of the two of them.

Soon, the entire sky was filled with colorful fireworks. The demons in the city on the ground cheered.

"This is the fireworks of the celebration?"

"Yes. Yang Chan nodded silently and looked at the fireworks blankly: "I picked my favorite species, thinking that if I could watch it with you one day......"

In the bright firelight, the monkey saw a fleeting smile on the corner of Yang Chan's mouth.

After a long time, Yang Chan sighed in a low voice: "We should go back." ”

After that, he was about to turn around, but was dragged back by the monkey.

"If you like it, just watch it for a while. He said lightly.

"If you leave the table for too long, there will be people who have opinions, and maybe they will ...... again."

The monkey looked at Yang Chan and said solemnly: "Didn't you say that everything in the future will be handed over to me? ”

Hearing this, Yang Chan burst out laughing, glared and said, "Not seriously, what if they really turn around?"

"It's really the other way around, it depends on who has the big fist. Taking Yang Chan's hand and putting it back on the fence, the monkey raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Come, watch the fireworks." Damn, it's a celebration that I'm back and we're not upset, what's the matter? ”

Yang Chan smiled, but tears rained down.

"Why are you crying again?"

"I just...... Just happy. ”

The monkey was in a hurry for a while.

A breeze blows.

Raise the cloak and wrap it around the long skirt. (To be continued......)
