"Do you think Li Jing will continue to oppose me?"

"Hmm!" the wind chime nodded heavily.

The monkey laughed, fiddled with the Linglong pagoda in his hand and said: "You see that he runs faster than a rabbit, and his tower is still in my hand, even if he dares to turn his face, I am not afraid of him." Nantianmen is not only inferior to the Tianhe Water Army as a soldier, but also as a general. I've heard that I haven't practiced battle formations for hundreds of years. Just by them?"

"No!" the wind chime shouted, "It's not his troops that matter, it's himself! He is different from Marshal Tianpeng, he can make Heavenly Court send troops!"

Looking at the wind chimes, the monkey asked, "Is that possible?"

"This ......," the wind chime bit her lip and couldn't answer for a while.

"Heavenly Court is not against Tianpeng is not one or two, not to mention that he still has old grudges with Tianpeng, even if he really wants Tianting to send troops, one more of his mouths can make Tianting immediately send troops?"

"This ...... This...... I don't know, but you can't let him go!"

"Let him go before, the heavenly court has already issued an order for them to withdraw their troops, if they don't let him go at this time, it's time to goof. At that time, I am afraid that they will make a desperate bet and join hands with the Tianhe Water Army to attack Huaguo Mountain. The monkey slowly stood up on his knees, reached out and touched the head of the wind chime, and said, "You, stay in the prison with peace of mind." I'll take care of this outside matter. ”

Wind Chimes blinked and looked at the monkey with an aggrieved expression.

The monkey reached out and pinched the wind chime's bulging cheek and said, "Don't worry, I can win, they can't fight me." ”

......

Nantianmen Fleet, the flagship hall.

The canopy crossed the high threshold and hurried up to the temple, the white daft that floated in the wind behind him had long since been congealed into a dark red by the blood.

Step by step to the center of the main hall. Tian Peng bowed and arched his hand: "Tian Peng has seen Li Tianwang. It's really helpless to make this decision. Please forgive me. ”

Li Jing, who was sitting on the main seat, tiredly pointed to the second seat on the side and said: "Marshal Tianpeng, please sit down, if you have anything to say, this Heavenly King still has the king's order and must return to Nantianmen immediately, and there can be no delay." ”

After that, he tapped the lid of the tea cup on the side coffee table with his two fingers, and sighed lightly: "Serve tea." ”

The heavenly soldier beside him quickly served tea to Tianpeng.

After sitting down at that table for a while, Tianpeng bowed slightly and said, "This matter is a matter of importance, and I also ask the Heavenly King to step back and right." ”

didn't wait for Li Jing to speak. Nezha, who was standing aside with a fire-tipped gun, pointed to the canopy and said: "Your canopy is now a body of sin, and my father is willing to see that you have already given enough face, so don't ask for a lot of things! If you have anything to say, hurry up, and when you're done, hurry up!"

Tianpeng didn't speak, just looked at Li Jing slightly.

The whole hall fell silent.

After a long time, Li Jing raised his hand slightly and sighed: "Let's go down." ”

"Daddy!"

"Go down. ”

Nezha glanced at Tiancang coldly and took the lead in walking out of the hall. The rest of the crowd also hurriedly withdrew from the door.

Almost at the same time, Tian Peng felt that there were many heavenly soldiers and generals surrounding the main hall.

This...... It should be that Li Jing has just come out of the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den. After all, now the Tianhe Water Army is at the end of its rope. It's not surprising to think so.

Tianpeng had to smile helplessly.

"Nezha has this temperament, please don't be surprised. Li Jing said softly.

"Don't dare. ”

"That. Can you say it now?" Li Jing took a sip of the teacup.

Taking a deep breath, Tianpeng slowly stood up with the handrail, and arched his hand: "Tianpeng came here this time for the battle of Huaguo Mountain. I hope that I can get the help of the Heavenly King and eradicate the demon of Huaguo Mountain in one fell swoop. ”

Li Jing pursed his lips slightly and laughed: "The Battle of Huaguo Mountain...... Does the marshal want my Nantianmen army to join the battlefield? To tell you the truth, my exquisite pagoda is still in the hands of that demon monkey. In addition, the Heavenly King of the Holding Kingdom had already explained the situation to me first, and most of the subordinate soldiers were unwilling to participate in this battle. Second, Heavenly Court has ordered our army to return to Nantianmen immediately. Does the marshal want me to resist the decree like you? If this trip is for this matter, there is no need to talk about it. ”

After saying that paragraph in one breath, Li Jing lowered his head and took another sip of tea.

The hand that served the tea was still trembling.

"If the marshal wants my Nantianmen fleet to join the battle, then please go back. ”

Putting down the teacup, seeing that Tianpeng did not answer, Li Jing repeated this sentence again.

Tianpeng stared at Li Jing's slightly haggard face in a daze, and for a long time, Li Jing avoided his gaze in front of him.

For a while, the entire hall was so quiet that there was no sound at all.

The cool breeze from above quietly blew into the hall, lifted the window screen on the side, shook the blood-stained canopy, bypassed the potted plants on the table, and left through the window lattice.

Tianpeng took a deep breath and said slowly: "Does the Heavenly King still remember Chen Tangguan, the general soldier Li Jing who handed over his eight-year-old young son to the Dragon King of the Four Seas for the sake of the dawn people?"

Li Jing closed his eyes tightly and said, "This time and that time, you can't generalize. ”

"Why not?"

"What do you say?" Li Jing opened his eyes and slowly looked at the canopy.

"Canopy doesn't understand. With a faint smile, Tianpeng lowered his head and rubbed his bracers and said, "Tianpeng only knows that as a general, he should have his own ethics." Whether it's in heaven or in the mortal world, it's the same. I think back then, for the sake of the people of Chentangguan, Li Tianwang was able to do this. Why is it ...... now? If it is allowed to go down, the day when Huaguo Mountain is established, it will not be the people who are in danger. At that time, even if Heavenly Court mobilizes ten times the military power of today and sheds several times the blood of today, I am afraid it will be difficult to capture. ”

After a pause, Tianpeng said slowly: "At that time, the demon monkey of Huaguo Mountain and the heavenly court will fight against each other, and the mortal world will definitely be in flames, and the lives will be ruined...... How can the king of heaven endure it?"

"Don't be alarmist!" Li Jing slapped his palm on the table and said angrily: "This Huaguo Mountain is just a mortal demon, how can it compete with the Heavenly Court?"

Facing Li Jing's gaze, Tianpeng said: "It's impossible, I think the king of heaven knows better than Tianpeng!"

For a while, the eyes of both sides widened, and there was a faint tension in the hall, but it was even quieter.

After staring at each other for a long time, Li Jing finally avoided Tianpeng's gaze, took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Even if I am willing, my soldiers are not willing." If there is no grace from above, and there is no people's heart from below, do you think that all the troops are your Tianhe Water Army? How do you ask me to mobilize my troops to fight? If I forcibly give an order and the army will mutiny, will your Tianhe Water Army help me suppress it?"

Slowly closing his eyes, Li Jing trembled slightly and exhaled a breath of hot air, which turned into a faint cloud and mist in the cool breeze in the sky, drifting away.

"Do you think I don't want to be ashamed? You know, I know, I know, and my subordinates know it. With the addition of my 180,000-strong army, will we really be able to win immediately? Okay, even if the ground is overwhelming, what will happen next? Have you ever thought about how to fight an underground war? What if they are broken into pieces? Do you know how many strongholds they have outside Huaguo Mountain?"

"Have you seen the underground fortifications in Huaguo Mountain? Do you know what they have done?"

"You don't know, but I know!"

"How many monsters are there in this mortal world waiting to join them? What about us? Without the support of the Heavenly Court, we can't afford to spend it!"

"That bastard demon monkey just calculated this point before he dared to let me go at this time, don't you still understand?"

Pursing his lips, Li Jing said: "If you refuse to let me go this time, my Nantianmen army would have been determined to participate in the war, and now that I have let go, I have taken my Linglong Pagoda again......"

Leaning back in his chair, he looked up at the ceiling and sighed, "Canopy, I obey you, I really obey you." This kind of battle, the entire Heavenly Court, only you dare to fight. But...... Tianpeng, listen to me, this battle should not be fought at all! I advise you to withdraw your troops as soon as possible, and when you arrive at the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, Your Majesty can say a few words for you. If defeated...... No one can save you! Don't let the soldiers shed senseless blood anymore. When the Heavenly Court and the immortals had an epiphany, they would naturally find a way. For the sake of the general, where the heavenly court points to, we will fight, and how to choose is not something we consider. ”

Lowering his head, Li Jing stared at the pattern formed by the sunlight on the carpet of the main hall through the window lattice, and fell into a trance.

The trend of the times is not the ability of any one person to turn the tide......

At this point, it's useless to say anything more.

Silently staring at the frustrated Li Jing, Tianpeng bowed slightly and said, "Since this is the case, Tianpeng will no longer force it." Tianpeng only asked the Heavenly King for one last thing, after returning to Heavenly Court, please help mediate no matter what, so that Heavenly Court can increase its troops. Don't let those more than 100,000 Heavenly Court men die in vain. ”

Hearing this, Li Jing only smiled bitterly: "You overestimate me too much." The game on the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, where is it that I can play how I say I want to play? The current situation is that no matter how much I help you talk when I go back, it will not help. ”

"Tianpeng doesn't want Tianwang to help Tianpeng speak, Tianpeng just wants to ask Tianwang to speak for the battle situation in Huaguo Mountain. Returning from the front line, the Heavenly King should have the most say in the strength of Huaguo Mountain. As long as the immortals believe in the words of the Heavenly King, then ......"

"Believe it?" Li Jing raised his head helplessly and sighed: "Tianpeng, Tianpeng, you have really been a marshal for so many years in vain...... Let's put it this way, now that I can stand on the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, only Lao Jun can level everyone in one sentence, and if I change anyone else, it is useless to say anything. Even if it's Majesty. At this point, who still cares what the truth is? To say something that shouldn't be said, things in the court have always been an exchange of interests under the table, and the whitewashing on the table is too peaceful, where can I change something with the words of Li Jing?"

Silently staring at Li Jing, for a long time, Tianpeng gritted his teeth, raised his big sword and knelt down on one knee and said, "Then ask the Heavenly King to also exchange the way of trading under the table for the reinforcement of the Heavenly Court." The matter has come to this point, and there is no way back from the canopy, please ask the king of heaven to fulfill it!"

After hesitating for a long time, Li Jing looked at Tianpeng and sighed softly: "I...... Give it a try. (To be continued......)
