Saw?

Tao Zhen asked in a daze: "When did it happen? Which night?"

"It was the night when I left Thorn Ridge to stay at the farmhouse." After speaking, Monkey King coughed lightly, and went to the other side of the warehouse to pretend to be busy.

Leaving Briar Ridge?Staying at a farmhouse?

Speaking of which, what else can Tao Zhen not remember?Isn't that—

Although Sun Wukong quickly walked away, he still couldn't help but look back, and when he turned around, he saw Tao Zhen glaring at him fiercely.This appearance actually made him laugh, Sun Wukong grinned, his brows and eyes looked very smug.

"..." Tao Zhen looked away, too lazy to look at him again.

Zhu Bajie didn't tell Tang Seng about this, which she didn't expect.But no matter what the reason is, it is a good thing to continue to hide it.However, this kind of thing often has two things. If one person finds out, will the others be far behind?If they don't restrain themselves, I'm afraid they will make it known to everyone one after another.

After the medicine was ground, it was presented to the king to take it. After recovering, he was overjoyed and immediately hosted a banquet to thank these eminent monks from Tang Dynasty.

The king of Zhu Ziguo was naturally elegant and handsome, and when he treated him sincerely and courteously, people couldn't help but feel good about him.

"Why doesn't the female elder eat? But these are not to your liking?"

Tao Zhen quickly explained: "My way of cultivation is slightly different from theirs, and I don't need to eat on weekdays."

The king was stunned and sighed: "Sure enough, all of you are extraordinary people."

...Although she is not a very powerful person, she is indeed not a human being but a goblin, so she will have the cheek to accept the king's "extraordinary person".Tao Zhen smiled modestly, took two sips of tea.

"Then, how about some good wine?" The king beckoned, and someone came forward with an exquisite wine cup, "This wine is a tribute from the palace, and it tastes great."

Tao Zhen still remembered clearly the last time she was drunk, not to mention that Tang Seng was here this time, if she did or said something that she shouldn't do, it would be over.

But the sudden sentimentality in the king's eyes blocked her refusal words in her throat.Although the fact that the king compromised Sai Taisui to arrest Jin Shenggong's empress back then should not have been done by a man in order to protect himself, Tao Zhen saw his appearance at this time, and also hosted a banquet to express his gratitude, So I couldn't bear to refuse his kindness.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Tao Zhen thanked, and the attendant filled the wine cup in front of her with a wink.

The king regained his composure, smiled again, and said, "Come on, my lord will offer a toast to the holy monks."

Sun Wukong thought that the Peach Tree Spirit refused to drink any more today, and he was a little regretful, but he didn't expect that she would accept it.In his mind, the appearance of Tao Zhen acting like a baby after being drunk that night appeared again, and his heart was itchy.

After toasting four cups in a row, Tang Seng politely declined on the grounds that Buddhism was clear. Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Sand Monk drank it all in one gulp. However, Tao Zhen just tasted the wine, and the king didn't force it. He only asked her how the wine tasted with a smile.

"The aroma is mellow, it is indeed good wine. But I don't drink much, I am an amateur." Tao Zhen smiled.Fortunately, the wine was not strong, otherwise she was really afraid that she would get drunk after just tasting this small amount.

Sun Wukong laughed maliciously when he heard the words: "Since it is a good wine, how about a few more drinks with my grandson?"

"Okay." Tao Zhen replied with a smile.

She promised so neatly, Sun Wukong was a little suspicious, but when he looked towards Taozhen, the latter looked at him with wide eyes, looking very innocent, he muttered something in a low voice, then raised his glass and touched her clink.

Just as he raised his head and was about to drink it all in one gulp, there was a strange yet familiar movement from the top of his tail.The hand squeezed gently, and the trembling rushed straight to the top of his head——

"puff"

Everyone at the table cast their gazes in shock.

The wine was sprayed all over the table, and the stunned Zhu Bajie on the opposite side pulled Drifting's clothes and wiped his face: "Brother Monkey, you—"

Seeing the big disciple's disrespect, Tang Seng couldn't help but shook his head helplessly, turned around and apologized to the king: "Your Majesty, don't mind, these disciples of mine have never restrained their temper, it's really rude."

"No problem, no problem." The king waved his hand. Elder Sun had cured his illness, so what would he expect from his benefactor?

"Great Sage, what's wrong with you?" Tao Zhen suppressed a smile, her voice trembling.

Sun Wukong put down his wine glass calmly: "...it's nothing, my old grandson choked just now."

No wonder she is still willing to drink with him!It turned out that this was the idea!

But what else could he do?Sun Wukong glanced resentfully at Taozhen's flushed cheeks from holding back a smile, and hummed in his heart that he would always find a chance to get back the price she paid for pinching her own tail.

The attendants hurried forward to clean up the mess, but no one noticed that Monkey King's tail retracted pitifully behind him, and he didn't dare to rest assured and boldly put it within easy reach of the girl next to him.

As he drank the wine, the king's eyes were full of sorrow, and the glass in front of him was never empty, and it seemed that he was using wine to relieve his sorrow.

"What's bothering your Majesty?" Tang Seng couldn't help asking.

"...Oh, no." The king shook his head with a smile. "It's just that I have been weak for the past few years. The imperial doctor advised me not to drink alcohol. Now that my illness is finally cured, I drink a few more glasses when I am happy."

Sun Wukong raised his eyes several times to notice the faint sadness on the king's face, and now he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, since you are happy, you will talk about all your troubles. If my old grandson can help, how about a double happiness?" Not better."

"This..." After all, it wasn't something glorious, the king still hesitated.

"Your Majesty, my great apprentice is very capable, you can just say it."

"Then...it's okay to tell you." The king sighed, after all, the longing for his lover prevailed, even if there is a glimmer of hope, "Three years before the Yang Festival, the widow and the concubine were playing in the imperial garden. When walking to a gazebo, a gust of wind suddenly blew up, and a monster appeared in mid-air, saying that he was Sai Taisui of Qilin Mountain, and that there was a shortage of a beautiful lady in the cave, and the beauty must be sent out within three orders, otherwise he would have to eat it first. The widow, eat all the officials again, and finally eat up the people of the Li people."

"...The widow really had no choice but to reluctantly push her out. In the end, the monster swept her away with a gust of wind. The separation lasted three years."

As soon as he finished speaking, the meeting fell into silence.

Tao Zhen, who heard the king's story about the past, felt more complicated in her heart.

Maybe there is a reason for guilt, but he has been obsessed with it for three years. It cannot be said that the king has no feelings for this Jinsheng Palace empress, but he is not responsible as a man in this friendship.However, as the king of the Zhuzi Kingdom, he really had no choice when he was no match for the monsters.

"Your Majesty wants to bring back the Empress of Jinsheng Palace?" Sun Wukong looked up at the king.

The king had both guilt and pain on his face: "I have thought about it every day for the past three years."

"Leave this to my grandson."

"This," the king couldn't believe it, "but Sai Taisui is really difficult to deal with, the elders must not force it."

Sun Wukong put down his wine glass, and smiled: "Your Majesty, don't worry, there are no monsters in this world that my grandson is afraid of. Just give the lady something familiar, and take it as a token so that she won't be wary and refuse to believe my grandson. "

"A familiar thing?" The king pondered for a moment, "There is a gold bracelet that she especially likes, but it's just that the widows don't want to see things and think about it in recent years, so I ordered someone to put it away, and now it's time for someone to get it."

After finishing speaking, he ordered his attendants to fetch the things. During the waiting for a while, Monk Tang had to spend a lot of time comforting the king, while the two on the other side were sitting and staring at each other.

Taozhen was sitting in a daze at first, but in the eyes of Sun Wukong, she felt that the girl looked a little sleepy, thinking that she was still thinking about the past events that the king just said, or there might be some other mysterious reason that made her He called out: "Peach tree spirit."

"Huh?" Tao Zhen came back to her senses and stared blankly.

But he didn't expect the Great Sage to just stare at her like that without saying anything.

"My lord, what's the matter?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly heard the attendant who went to fetch the bracelet turned back and told the king: "Your Majesty, I have brought something."

Taozhen's attention was distracted, and she was about to turn her head to look at the real face of the gold bracelet, but the person in front of her suddenly stood up, and said something to her in a low voice before walking away:

"If it were me, I would definitely not do that."

After saying that, the golden-brown figure turned around and walked towards the king, leaving only Tao Zhen's back.

Why do you suddenly say something like this...

She was a little dazed, and then quickly understood what the Great Sage was talking about.

He was talking about Sai Taisui coercing the king to hand over Jin Shenggong's empress.

Tao Zhen suddenly sat on the spot staring at the ground and laughed, an unspeakable feeling in her heart surged up like the tide hitting the shore and rushed over her heart that was beating fast, and then slowly and gently retreated into the blue waves.

Even if he didn't say it, she would understand.

The Great Sage will never be such a compromised and cowardly person, he will only go straight ahead, no matter the result, he will try his best to fight to the death.

It is true that there is only one great sage in this world, so he is the only one who dares to overlook all the monsters.However, the meaning of what he said to her in person just now is extraordinary.

That means, he wants to say—

At that moment, just be her hero.

The king said that Sai Taisui's high ability is not without any influence, for example, this time Monkey King refused to take Tao Zhen with him.

"You just wait here with Master and the others, and my old grandson will go back as soon as he goes."

Although there was no danger, and she didn't need to think of ways to avoid the disaster or remedy it, but because there was no danger, Tao Zhen was not afraid of being delayed and wanted to go with her.

"You said it was dangerous? You said no when you wanted to take me with you a few times ago?" Tao Zhen couldn't help but deliberately contradicted him, "I think it's probably because the Great Sage doesn't want to take me this time."

It's a pity that he couldn't hide the slyness in his eyes, Sun Wukong felt itchy, looked up and saw no one was paying attention, so he pretended to be vicious and gritted his teeth, raised his hand and pinched Taozhen's face.

However, the pair of golden pupils that were full of rebellion and meaninglessness in the past, now there is only indulgence and gentleness, Tao Zhen can't help but feel her ears burn, and her heart feels as satisfied as eating honey.

She wrinkled her face and purposely groaned: "It hurts."

"Should."

Houzi coolly dropped a sentence, let go of his hand and turned around, and turned back slowly before holding on for a few breaths: "...does it really hurt?"

"Of course it's...fake." Tao Zhen's almond eyes curled up in laughter.

When she was laughing, she suddenly saw the king who was a dozen steps behind the great sage staring at the two of them with a slightly surprised expression.But Tang Seng at the side happened to be talking to Drifting Monk, so he didn't pay attention to the movement here.

Tao Zhen's smile froze suddenly.

After a while, the king withdrew his expression, nodded and smiled at her knowingly.

The author has something to say: King: Elder Pig, did you see that?What is a calm reaction.

Zhu Bajie: My old pig was sprayed all over the face today, so I don’t want to talk for now, thank you

Drifting: You wiped my clothes, did I say anything?
