Journey to the West: The Strongest Worker System
Chapter 184
Zhu Ba successfully cured the king, and the king was in a good mood. In addition, he learned that the other party was Tang Sanzang's disciple, so he simply invited Tang Sanzang and his disciples to hold a banquet together.
It is said that since the king fell ill, the Zhuzi Kingdom has never held such a banquet again. Now that the king has just recovered from a serious illness and there are distinguished guests from the Tang Dynasty, it has been a long time since the state banquet was held. With all these factors combined, the most grand banquet in Zhuzi Kingdom in recent years has begun.
At the banquet, the king of Zhuzi Kingdom had a ruddy face, which made the ministers excited. In the past few years, the king's health has been getting worse, but there is no miracle doctor in the country, so they can only watch the other party suffer.
It is conceivable how depressed these ministers are. Their inability to do anything makes them feel guilty. Even several elders have secretly decided that if the king dies, they will follow the king.
But now, the king has been cured, and the country is like coming back to life. This is great news. They are full of gratitude and admiration for Zhu Ba Tang Sanzang and others. These masters are simply gods from heaven.
In this rare season, the king simply held a grand state banquet. The huge palace was filled with four or five hundred tables, and the tables were filled with delicious food.
These delicacies are really, a hundred delicacies, a thousand cups of delicious food. Qiong cream, crisp cheese, brocade, fat and red. The precious makeup is colorful, and the fruit tastes fragrant. The dragon of fighting sugar is entangled with the lion fairy, and the cake ingot drags the stove to place the phoenix couple. There are pork, sheep, chicken, goose, fish, duck and other meats, and vegetables such as bamboo shoots, fungus and mushrooms. Several kinds of fragrant soup cakes, several times of crispy sugar. Smooth and soft yellow rice, fresh mushroom rice paste. The colorful powder soup is fragrant and spicy, and everything is sweet.
The ministers were drinking and eating, and the dancers were performing. It was so pleasant.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhu Ba stood up from the table and asked, "Your Majesty, although this may be a bit offensive, as the attending doctor who saved you, I must remind you that I only saved you temporarily. As the saying goes, treating the symptoms but not the root cause, I can only cure your appearance, but the root cause has not been solved."
"So, I want to ask the king, why did you get this bird-out-of-the-flock syndrome? Moreover, this state banquet is so grand, and even concubines appear, but the queen is not there. Is there any reason for this?"
As soon as Zhu Ba's words came out, the originally lively atmosphere on the huge banquet suddenly became quiet. Many ministers stood up and wanted to reprimand Zhu Ba for his boldness. Although he cured the king, it was really rude to offend him like this.
The king seemed to have thought of something. His eyes, which were originally in high spirits, became dim and tears were shaking in his eyes, as if they were about to fall.
Tang Sanzang, who was talking to him, looked at the other party's uncomfortable expression and felt a little anxious. He glared at Zhu Ba, as if he was dissatisfied with the other party's question. The other party had just recovered from a serious illness, and this was simply exposing his scars, and in public.
He is the king, don't you want to save face? And this state banquet should have been a happy thing, but his opening completely destroyed the current atmosphere.
Zhu Ba, however, seemed to have not seen it, and continued as if no one was around: "As the saying goes, heart disease needs heart medicine. If the king does not tell us what happened, we cannot help you. And even though you have recovered now, if you can't let go of that incident, you will get sick again in a few years, and it may be more serious. Even if the Golden Immortal comes, it may not be able to cure you!"
Facing the king's reluctance to tell the story, Zhu Ba had to add a hint of threat in his words, and even increased the severity of the subsequent recurrence of the disease.
As expected, after he finished speaking, they who had some opinions about Zhu Ba at the beginning did not say anything at this time. After all, compared with face, the king's life is more important.
And they also looked at the king eagerly, hoping that the king could tell the story, so that they might find a solution.
The king understood Zhu Ba's good intentions at this time, and could not help but say: "Three years ago, during the Dragon Boat Festival, I was in the imperial garden with the queen and concubines, drinking calamus and realgar wine, watching dragon boat racing, and the atmosphere was very lively."
"But at this time, a gust of evil wind blew, and a goblin suddenly appeared in the air. He called himself Sai Tai Sui, the owner of the Xiezhi Cave in Qilin Mountain, and it happened that his cave was short of a wife. He heard that my queen was as beautiful as a flower and graceful, so he wanted her to be his wife and asked me to send her out as soon as possible."
"He shamelessly threatened me that if I didn't offer his woman after three sounds, he would kill her first.It ate me, then my ministers, and finally wanted to eat all the people in my country. I was somewhat helpless. On one side was my beloved concubine, and on the other side was the people. I had no choice but to push the queen out of the pavilion and let the monster take her away. "
"Seeing the monster leave, I was panicked for a while, and the zongzi was stagnant inside. Moreover, I was worried day and night, so I suffered from this illness for three years. Now, thanks to Master Zhu's treatment, the stagnant things from three years ago were discharged, so now I am healthy and energetic. ”
I’m afraid even the ministers have never heard of this past event. They only know that the queen suddenly disappeared and then the king fell seriously ill. Moreover, they didn’t know that there were monsters involved, and they didn’t know that the king had faced such a choice.
The monkey, who had been defeated by Zhu Ba again, suddenly heard this story and knew the appearance of the monster Sai Taisui, and immediately became interested. You know, subduing monsters means fighting.
“To be honest with your Majesty, we are not only pilgrims, but also powerful demon-subduing masters. I wonder if the king is willing to welcome the queen back to the palace?”
Seeing that the other party finally told the story, Zhu Ba couldn’t help but ask, and the system prompt came to his ears.
“Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully inducing Zhu Ziguo to reveal his true feelings and tell the queen’s abduction. Mission 2 is completed.”
“Mission 3 is open. Please go to the Xiezhi Cave in Qilin Mountain to subdue Sai Taisui. "
The king suddenly raised his head upon hearing this and said hurriedly: "Of course I am willing. Master, you don't know that since the queen left, I have been unable to sleep for many days and nights, thinking about subduing the monster and bringing back the queen."
"Hehe, then you wait and see, I will go with Monkey King to subdue the monster tomorrow!"
Since the king agreed and the system task was just coming out, Zhu Ba naturally didn't mind meeting Sai Tai Sui.
The king stood up and walked towards Zhu Ba, then knelt in front of him and said: "If the master can save my queen, I am willing to lead the three palaces and nine concubines out of the city to serve the people, hand over the country to the monk, and let you be the emperor. ”
This king is really a true person, he really loves beauty but not the country, but perhaps it is because of the previous decision that made him regret for a long time, so he said such words.
Zhu Ba is naturally unwilling to accept the other party's country. They are gods, and these worldly things are useless. Instead, they are a burden.
Besides, if you really want the country, then the Kingdom of Women is more attractive, there are many beauties, and the environment is not bad, which can make people happy and live a long life (curse who).
"Hahaha, King, you are too serious. We are devoted to Buddhism, how can we want your country. It's just that this kind of goblin is really hateful. Since we meet it, we will naturally not stand idly by. "
The king naturally knew that he was anxious, but since Zhu Ba and others had agreed to subdue the demon, he did not say anything more, but told them more information to help Zhu Ba and others further understand the demon.
So, the matter of subduing the demon was discussed and understood during the banquet, and then it was decided.
The king wanted to provide some soldiers for support, but if they really went, they would be like meat buns hitting dogs, and they would lose as many as they could, so Zhu Ba decisively refused.
In the end, it was Zhu Ba and Monkey, the two warmongers, who took action. Lao Sha, Xiao Bai and Red Boy stayed in the kingdom, first to guard Tang Sanzang, and second to protect the king, in case Sai Tai Sui launched a surprise attack, which would be bad.
