Chapter 1523 – This is respect
By the side of the road, the monk had been dragged by the monkey to teach the monk a lesson. He advised the monk not to look for Li Chengtang, because everyone knew that Li Chengtang was definitely not in any carriage, and would not be hiding on the road.
He looked at the extremely beautiful flower and laughed: “An Zheng, look at the flower by the side of the road, it’s so pretty. If the flower can grow so pretty, if we plant it into a crop, it would also produce an especially good harvest right?”
An Zheng nodded, “I will.”
Ta Ta Ta raised his head and looked into the distance. There was a large patch of wasteland by the side of the road. The grass was knee-high. This walace less than 300 miles outside of Daxing City.
During the great battle of the world, one could see the devastation and devastation. One could tell this from the lush weeds here.
An Zheng had originally wanted to say that under this fertile land, who knew how many innocent corpses were buried and turned into fertilizer for the grass, but when he saw the innocent look in Ta Ta Ye’s eyes, he couldn’t say it out loud.
“What’s this?” Tadanori asked, pointing at a blade of grass.
An Zheng told him to call it Wild Artemisia selengensis.
This thing was really edible.
Not far away, the monkey and the monk were arguing loudly. Obviously, the monk was unwilling to listen to their advice, but the monkey was a warm-hearted person. Although he hadn’t known the monk for long, he had already treated the monk as his friend.
“Do you believe that you will die if you go?”
“Believe it or not, I still have to go. If it is …” If Li Ye wants to kill Li Chengtang, I have to save him. I brought the words from Li Ye, and even if Li Chengtang doesn’t see me, he will definitely know the words, and even if Li Chengtang changes his mind and is willing to trust his father, it also means that he is willing to believe me. If a person like Li Chengtang makes a decision, it is definitely a gamble … He is betting his life and fortune on this. I am a monk, can’t I just give up on my physical body? ”
Monkey: “You’re a fucking idiot.”
The monk shook his head. “I’m just doing what I think should be done.”
An Zheng stood up: “Brother Monkey, let’s not talk anymore.”
Monkey was stunned for a moment, and looked at An Zheng in disbelief: “What do you call me?”
An Zheng: “…”
Without paying attention for a moment, An Zheng laughed awkwardly.
Dada Ye stuck out his small tongue and muttered, “You’re an idiot, right? Let’s see how you explain …”
Monkey came over and pulled An Zheng aside, “Do you know something?!”
An Zheng sighed helplessly: “If I were to tell you that we have tens of thousands of years of friendship, and that we are brothers, would you believe me? I know I shouldn’t have said these words to you, but it’s really hard to hold it in. ”
Monkey’s face kept changing. “What do you mean? Even though I feel very close to you two the first time I see you two, I fought with you two in the Magnificent Pavilion Restaurant because I felt that you two had a good relationship. If not, why would I care about strangers … “What exactly do you mean by that?”
Helplessly, An Zheng could only recount the whole story. The monkey looked at An Zheng skeptically: “You didn’t lie to me? Me and that guy… Is there going to be such a long conflict? ”
An Zheng said: “Although I don’t know if I will change history after telling you this, but since I am here to help you get rid of the knot in your heart, I can only say it out loud … I was originally thinking that this is just a small illusion, so there’s no point in doing anything. But then, I realized that if we don’t do anything, what are we here for? ”
Monkey squatted there in thought for a long time, obviously An Zheng’s words had a huge impact on him.
“There are many things I have yet to tell you. Mainly, there are too many. If I sit here and do not move, I might not be able to finish speaking for a few days and nights, but … We don’t have many days and nights left. If nothing goes wrong, tonight’s Dazzling Spring’s army camp will fall, and either Li Chengyuan will die, or Li Chengtang will die. ”
Monkey said, “Then tell me in detail, I believe you.”
He stood up and patted Monkey on the shoulder, “But, please don’t call me Brother Monkey, alright? Although I am really a Monkey … Pui! Stone essence! But look at me now, please call me Great Sage or Qi Tian. ”
“Got it, Monkey Bro.”
“…”
The monkey pulled An Zheng further away from him: “You mean, not long later, the monk will be tricked by the Buddha and sent to the Buddhist Sect in the Western Regions. And that old guy called Buddha in the Western Regions will strip me of my strongest talent, the change in the The Art of Space? If you can say the word ‘mutation’, then I know that you are not lying because I have never told anyone else. ”
An Zheng knew that Monkey had already lost all of his memories of the big battle. Monkey at this time was a Monkey who had lost his physical body and soul after the big battle, but his Golden Body was still not destroyed.
“Yeah.”
An Zheng nodded.
Monkey could not help but laugh complacently, “Then what’s so difficult about that? Isn’t it easy to get rid of this knot in my heart?” When the time comes, Monk wants me to go to the Buddhist Sect in the Western Regions, I won’t go … Hahahaha, as long as I don’t go to the Buddhist Sect in the Western Regions, the Buddha won’t be able to trick me out of my mutation, I won’t be heavily injured and return to my stone-shell cultivation. If all of this doesn’t happen, then there will be no more repentance for the rest of my life, and I will die in the end facing the wall. ”
An Zheng sighed: “I hope so.”
He did not know if that was the way to help the monkey and the monk untie the knot in their hearts, but if it was, then it was simple.
Monkey was clearly happier. He could not help but look back at the monk: “To think that this fellow seemed to have no desires and was clean. He turns out to be a very emotional person …” Hahaha, but after thinking about it for a bit, of course, my monkey … Pui, how could the person that I, Qi Tian, have taken a fancy to be weak? ”
“Picked him up?”
“No, that’s not it… It’s someone who thinks they can be brothers. ”
“Don’t explain.”
“Damn you.”
Monkey squatted there and said, “Things aren’t as complicated as you think. It’s still like that, if I don’t go to the Buddhist Sect, nothing will happen. Everything will be solved now, how nice … So An Zheng, you have to remind me, no matter what the monk says, I cannot go to the Buddhist Sect, just not going. ”
An Zheng nodded his head helplessly: “I will remind you, but I am worried that it is useless.”
Just at this moment, a cloud of dust rose from the back. Previously, An Zheng had already sensed that there was a group of people chasing after them, but he was not worried about them, it was a group from the direction of Daxing City. They must be Li Chengtang’s men, and Li Chengtang would definitely not do anything to them.
Not long after, a troop of approximately five hundred Eagle Flying Shadow Soldiers caught up. When the leader of the group saw An Zheng and the others, he obviously heaved a sigh of relief. He jumped down from his flying horse and quickly ran to bow in front of the monk, “Master, Prince Liu has asked me to catch up to you no matter what.”
The monk asked, “Didn’t Prince Liu go to camp first?”
“His Royal Highness asked me to apologize to you.”
The general lowered his head and said, “Your Highness said that your master sincerely helped Your Highness, but Your Highness deceived your master. Your Highness is regretful, so Your Highness sent this lowly subordinate to find you no matter what, please go back … Now that His Highness’s troops are at the back of the line, should Master wait here for His Highness or follow this lowly official back? ”
The expression on the monk’s face slightly changed, “His Highness’s troops?”
The general said, “His Highness has listened to the words of the king that you brought back with you. He has decided to hand over all of the resources in Daxing City to His Majesty. His Highness is tired, really tired.”
The monk could not help but look at An Zheng with eyes full of worry.
Li Chengtang was really taking this gamble.
He had gambled too much.
Even An Zheng could not believe it. How could someone like Li Chengtang believe Li Ye’s words so easily? Even An Zheng could tell that what Li Ye said was fake, so how could Li Chengtang not know that it was fake?
However, Li Chengtang still decided to give up. He was not willing to meet with his father’s weapon of choice in the end.
“Let’s go together.”
An Zheng stood next to the monk: “This time, no matter what, we will stand by your side and do our best to not let something that should not have happened … But maybe we really can’t change anything. ”
Monkey harrumphed. “Nothing is absolute. As long as we want to change it, we can.”
The monk looked at the monkey and smiled, “The current you makes me feel that you are worthy of respect.”
Monkey: “When is the Great Sage not worthy of respect?”
They decided to wait here. After roughly half a day, the army led by Li Chengtang personally caught up to them. This time, not only did Li Chengtang bring the entire resources reserve in Daxing City, he also brought all of the Eagle Flying Shadow Army … He had already hinted to Fang Xing what Fang Xing was going to do, but after hearing what the monk said, he gave up.
When Li Chengtang saw the monk, he quickly rushed over and pulled the monk. He then invited An Zheng and the others to talk with him in his chariot.
After getting on the chariot, the first thing Li Chengtang looked at was An Zheng: “I don’t understand you yet, we have only met once …. “However, I havresumptuous request, and I hope that you can agree to it. I know that this is too hard, but I no longer have anyone else to ask.”
He looked at An Zheng and explained each and every word: “In the carriage behind us is Gu’s wife and son, I know that this time we are going to camp and that the odds are against us, I am willing to gamble with my own life, but I cannot gamble with the lives of my wife and children, they are innocent, my son is naturally good and pure, intelligent, he is not as hardworking and gloomy as Gu You, he has a cheerful personality, he should have a good future ahead of him, even if it was juseaceful and happy lifetime … Therefore, I hope that you can protect the safety of my orphaned wife and children and take them away. There’s nothing left to worry about. ”
The current Li Chengtang was a sincere Li Chengtang. An Zheng could tell that there was not a single trace of hypocrisy in his eyes, and even the resistance towards Li Chengtang which Da Da Ye had towards him had disappeared. His entire being seemed to have become different, as if he had already become someone else the moment he decided to put down everything.
“I will.”
An Zheng nodded: “I will do my best to guarantee that nothing will happen to you, but I do not dare to say that nothing will happen to you, but don’t worry, leave your wife and children to me … Unless I die first, nothing will happen to them. ”
This was a form of respect to Li Chengtang, a person who had given up everything and chose to believe in his father and son’s relationship.
