Chapter 887: Picking Up a "Father-in-law"
After the sun, there was rain, and there were tears on the face of the king, which Sun Changkong never expected. It is an incredible thing that a hegemon would cry in front of outsiders. Either this person has a mental problem, or someone else treats you as your own family. However, in Sun Changkong's view, he prefers to believe in the latter situation.
"King General, are you okay?" Sun Changkong couldn't help but say with concern.
Jiang Wang shook his head, and then said proudly: "It's okay, it's just that Li Jian has been with me for decades, and I am really a little reluctant to lose him suddenly." Brother Ah Jiu, I wronged you just now. β
The reason why he did so many things, and even did not hesitate to carry the black pot for Xuan Ang Baoshuai, was to establish a positive image in the mind of the conversation as quickly as possible, and to enhance the goodwill of chopsticks in the impression of the other party. And now that his goal has been achieved, he has fallen into extreme self-blame.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing, it's also my own volition, and it has nothing to do with Xuan Ang Baoshuai. β
Jiang Wang nodded and said, "Well, I know! With Xuan Ang's character, I know that he will never be able to do that kind of thing to find someone to take the blame for himself." But then again, why did your cultivation suddenly decay so much just now, was it because of your physical discomfort?"
Sun Changkong smiled faintly, and the attenuation that Wang said was when he had just been shot, but maybe it was because the other party's attention was in the middle of the battle, so he didn't realize that Li Jian was plotting against himself halfway. However, now that everyone is dead, Sun Changkong doesn't want to hold Li Jian accountable for this matter, let alone continue to involve energy because of this matter. Now he is a little tired and urgently needs a chance to stop and rest.
"I have always been the king to do what he says, since you have caught my three palms, then you and I are a family from the beginning, and at the same time, you are also my righteous son. β
As for this, there was an inexplicable silence in the space, and I don't know how long it took, only to hear Xuan Ang Baoshuai next to him suddenly say: "Hey, what are you still doing in a daze, the king wants to accept you as a righteous son, why don't you hurry up and bow to your father." β
Xuan Ang Baoshuai's words made Sun Changkong suddenly realize, he used to think that his head was quite smart, but now it seems that he is still too naΓ―ve. So, Sun Changkong hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said with a pious expression: "Thank you father-in-law!
Wang smiled and lifted Sun Changkong up from the ground, looking at the smile on his face, he couldn't imagine that the two were still in a fierce battle to the death before half a pillar of incense. And as Jiang Wang said, once he received the letter of the three palms, everything was written off, and now there was only one kind-faced father standing in front of him, which was also the first time that Sun Changkong had this feeling after Sun Yiyang was killed.
"Okay, Ah Jiu, you go back to the barracks first! Take this token, you can go in and out of various places, and no one will dare to stop you. β
After that, he handed over the jade token in the hand of the king to Sun Changkong. The moment he took the token, he felt a refreshing coolness suddenly flow from the piece of jade, and then it burrowed into his fingertips, and merged into the eight veins of the Qi Jing, causing the damaged parts of his body to rejuvenate. After all, after not dying without corrosion, Sun Changkong's self-healing ability was greatly reduced, and if he wanted to heal his injuries through his own aura, he didn't know that he would have to go to the Year of the Monkey. Well, now that he has this jade plate, Sun Changkong feels that his body's self-repair ability has increased greatly, and this is just a feeling between a few breaths. If the time is slightly longer, the effect will be more significant.
In this way, Sun Changkong took the token granted by the half-king himself and planned to leave. But not long after leaving, Sun Changkong suddenly remembered something: "Hey, why don't they go back with me, they want to take me away first, is it possible that the two of them have something to hide from me?"
Although he had received so much trust and kindness from the general king and Xuan Ang Baoshuai before, Sun Changkong did not forget his original intention of coming here. It is to collect more information about the Penglai Continent and the King of Generals. After all, knowing oneself and knowing the other side can not slack off. With this thought, Sun Changkong turned back to his previous position again, wanting to find out. However. Before he could see the scene in the clearing, he was immediately startled by the conversation coming from afar.
"Xuan Ang, are you ready?"
"Well, it's ready. β
"Xuan Ang, although I don't want to do that either. But I have explicitly forbade my fellow disciples to kill each other, and no matter how wrong the secret envoy may be, it should be left to me to decide, not to you to decide whether he lives or dies. Now, I will punish you for abolishing your cultivation and life span of 200 years, so you can know for yourself!"
Before Sun Changkong could continue to step forward, a dazzling golden light suddenly penetrated into Sun Changkong's eyes from between the dense leaves. In an instant, he felt that his soul was about to go out of his body, and a strong feeling of powerlessness hit his body at the same time, making him extremely decadent.
"I ...... What's wrong with me? What's the matter with that light just now, if the king had used this trick in the first fight, wouldn't I have been defeated?"
Thinking of the scene when the king made three palms to himself before, Sun Changkong's heart couldn't help but rise with a shuddering feeling. And it was only at this time that he finally realized how huge the gap between himself and the king of generals was.
I don't know how long it took, when the fast shadow of the king flashed above the jungle, Sun Changkong knew that the time had come. So, he quickly dodged to the clearing before, but the sight before him made him stunned.
There was indeed a person sitting paralyzed on the clearing, but this person was not Xuan Ang Baoshuai. Because the age gap between the two is too big, if the former Xuan Ang Baoshuai was a child, then the current person is simply an old man who is about to die. And what made Sun Chang feel this way was not the appearance of the other party, but the lifeless aging temperament.
However, after a little closer observation, Sun Changkong still found that this person was Xuan Ang Baoshuai, absolutely right.
When Sun Changkong appeared, Xuan Ang Baoshuai also discovered him. But now he didn't have the strength to speak, so he just smiled faintly.
"Baoshuai, you!"
Sun Changkong walked up to him, but the words that came to his mouth were stuck in his throat, and he didn't know what to do. Xuan Ang Baoshuai waved his hand, and then said in an extremely hoarse, sandpaper-like voice: "I'm fine, just take a rest." β
"However, your cultivation, and your lifespan, what did King Jiang do to you just now?" Sun Changkong immediately said angrily.
"It's nothing, if you do something wrong, you have to admit punishment. Ever since I killed the Emissary, I've known I'm going to do it. β
"That's why Li Jian wants me to take the blame, so he also knows that you will have this day?"
Xuan Ang Baoshuai nodded, but this time he didn't continue to speak, he had no strength.
At this time, Xuan Ang Baoshuai's body was unusually heavy, and Sun Changkong finally resisted the other party on his shoulders, and then got up and returned to the barracks. During this period, although Xuan Ang Baoshuai repeatedly signaled to Sun Changkong to put him back on the ground, the latter was like eating a scale, and he was determined to carry him back to show his indebtedness to him. Xuan Ang Baoshuai couldn't resist him, so he had to let it go. However, Sun Changkong, who had just come to the outside of the barracks, was surprised to find that the general was already waiting for him in the middle of the door. However, it can be seen that the other party's face is not very good-looking at this time. And the following words prove this.
"You didn't come back directly, but returned to the same place halfway, and Lu Xuan came back with his back on his back. Ah Jiu, you are really a child of affection!"
I don't know why, the three words "love and righteousness" sounded extremely bitter and mean to Sun Changkong, which also made him have to re-examine the general in front of him. What kind of terrible face is hidden under the cute face?
"I'm sorry for the father, I just want to ......"
Without waiting for Sun Changkong to finish speaking, Jiang Wang had already continued: "Ah Jiu, you don't have to care, I don't mean to blame you, but the next time this happens, I hope you can talk to me face to face, instead of sneaking around like a thief." You know, after becoming the righteous son of my general king, you can't ignore your image like before, don't forget, you are now not only representing yourself, but also representing Penglai Continent and me, the general king. β
"Yes! Ah Jiu understood. Ah Jiu promised that there would never be a similar situation in the future. β
It wasn't until he heard Sun Changkong's reply that the general finally nodded with satisfaction, and then said to the two guards behind him: "You two go and carry Xuan Ang Baoshuai to the military tent to breathe, Ah Jiu and I still have something to say." β
In this way, the two guards took over Xuan Ang Baoshuai's body from Sun Changkong's harmony, but somehow, when the two were separated, Sun Changkong seemed to read a complex emotion in each other's eyes. There was loss in that emotion, and there was panic, and there was a little anger in the fear, as if it was hinting at some secret to himself that he couldn't tell. However, Sun Changkong was already disdainful of this, because there was a general king in front of him, and his intuition told him that even if he offended everyone in this world, he must not provoke the king of Penglai in front of him.
"Ah Jiu, you haven't been in the Penglai elite force for a long time, and now you need to go through a few tasks to deepen your impression in everyone's minds. How about it, do you want to do something for your father-in-law?"
At this time, the wishful thinking in Sun Changkong's heart had already taken off, but he knew that the next matter might be a trap with no return, but in order to gain further trust from the general, he had to force a smile and said: "It's good that the father-in-law has something to say directly, Ah Jiu will definitely do his best."
"Well, okay, then you go and kill the flying fairy at the top of the ethereal clouds. β
