Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons

Never treated me badly?

Mesa wanted to laugh, but couldn't, so she took a deep breath and said, "My king, let's talk in private." Then she whipped her horse whip and rushed towards the salt lake in the distance like an arrow. Gesar thought for a moment, raised his hand to signal his subordinates not to follow him, and rode his horse to catch up.

In fact, there was no salt lake in Jiang State. It was not until Yuan Tiangang surveyed the mountains and rivers and Wen Jiao, the goddess of demons, sent down her divine power that rich salt mines and salt lakes were opened up. Large and small salt blocks were washed by the lake water and piled up on the shore. At first glance, it looked like a entrenched silver dragon. When Mesa jumped off his horse, he was flashed by the light and couldn't help but close his eyes slightly.

Gesar caught up with him without getting off his horse: "If you have anything to say, you can say it now."

Mesa raised her head and looked at the man who was looking down at her. Because of the backlight, she couldn't see clearly whether her shadow was reflected in his eyes at the moment: "My king, I have already said what I should say two years ago."

Gesar was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he couldn't remember what she was referring to, so he asked, "What did you say two years ago?"

Mesa was not surprised by his reaction. He lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "Two years ago, the king led his troops to destroy the Muya Kingdom."

It turned out to be referring to this matter. Gesar added: "The small country of Muya attempted to raise an army to attack Ling, the king wanted to torture Zhumu, and the little king also took you for himself. If you hadn't begged for mercy, I would not have killed the king alone and let the little king continue to lead Muya as a vassal of Ling."

Mesa said calmly: "At that time, I not only pleaded for Yu'ang, I also said..."

She took another deep breath and lowered her eyes to hide the tears in her eyes: "My king, in my life, Mesa married you first, then Lu Zan, then you, and now Yu'ang. I don't want to remarry, I want to spend the rest of my life in Muya."

Gesar frowned subconsciously: "What are you talking about? I don't care how many people you have remarried."

Mesa picked up a piece of salt from the ground and threw it out with all her strength. With a "bang", a huge splash of water was created. She screamed, "Whether you care or not, I don't care either. I said, I don't want to remarry! Don't you understand what I'm saying? I just want to spend the rest of my life with Yu'ang!"

Meisa was always gentle and elegant, how could she have shown such a crazy attitude? Gesar was a little confused by the yelling: "Mesa, this is not what a wife should say."

"Are you my husband?" Mesa glared at him. "You were just once. If you were my husband, then Luzan was also my husband, and you destroyed his Demon Kingdom. Yu'ang is still my husband, and you turned his Muya into your vassal state. On the plateau, everyone knows that you, the lion king, risked your life for your beloved concubine, but do you know how much I want to laugh every time I hear these words? Did you destroy the country for me, or just to take the opportunity to destroy another country?"

Gesar opened his mouth to argue, but Mesa waved his hand decisively: "But I don't care what you think."

Gesar was choked back, and his face gradually turned red. For the first time in his life, he realized how humiliating and embarrassing it was to say "I don't care" when it was applied to himself.

"I thought I had made it very clear, but you didn't listen at all and dragged me back to Lingguo." Mesa threw another piece of salt, "In the past two years, there has not been a single day that I didn't miss my husband."

Gesar pulled the whip tighter unconsciously. He knew that the husband Mesa was talking about was not him.

"I have been paying attention to the news about Mu Yaguo. Last month, I heard that Yu'ang was ill. He has been ill since you killed his elder brother and took me away. This time he is dying. Of course, a beloved wife will overcome all difficulties to see her husband when he is about to die." Mesa said.

Gesar whispered, "So you pretended to be an envoy to Jiang Kingdom in order to get away and reunite with Muya and Yu'ang?"

Mesa smiled sadly: "We are reunited. On the day I left Lingguo, I put on my feather robe and rushed to Muya. As soon as Yuang saw me, his illness was almost cured. We know that you will not let him go. Yuang decided to hand Muya over to you completely and go to Jiangguo with me. His father was kind to King Sadan, and now only King Sadan is willing to take us in on this land."

She drew out her sword, held it in both hands, knelt on the ground, and raised the sword above her head: "My king, Mesa is your people. If you want to punish me for treason, go ahead. Even Yuang, from the moment he decided to be with me, he didn't expect you to forgive him. But no matter what, I am no longer your concubine. If you insist on taking me back as your husband, I would rather die than suffer such humiliation!"

A trace of panic flashed across Gesar's black pupils. It was as if he had discovered for the first time in his life that the sun rises from the west instead of the east, and that birds are born alive instead of eggs - all the natural laws were broken in front of him.

"You..." The invincible lion king suddenly murmured like a timid and confused child, "How...how dare you?"

"Why not? We Han people have a saying, 'If you are heartless, I will give up!'" someone suddenly interrupted.

Gesar was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw a shadow on the lake stone not far away. It was Wen Jiao, with a fluttering green robe. Although Wen Jiao's ascension two years ago was kept secret from the Tang Dynasty, it was no secret on the Wuliang Plateau where many countries worshipped the Demon-Subduing Goddess.

Although she only stayed in heaven for two days, she was never idle on earth. Not only did she grant almost all of the believers' wishes that were not excessive, but she would even appear in the world to deal with difficult matters.

Mesa's desire to escape was so strong that it also attracted this celestial maiden?

Gesar put his hands together to show his respect. Meisa was still standing there in a daze, and Wen Jiao raised her hand and helped her up.

"I heard from the followers of Jiang that a fierce army is trying to destroy Jiang. Jiang has all of its people under my wing, and now they are facing a disaster. I have to come and see who the enemy is." Wen Jiao said with a smile, "I didn't expect that the reason behind this is actually a love affair."

So she saw the quarrel between the two just now? Gesar's face darkened: "It's just some family matters, I made the goddess laugh. When Mesa returns home, I will withdraw my troops."

"Family matters?" Wen Jiao smiled and shook her head, "Gesar, I haven't seen you for two years, and you are still so arrogant."

Gesaldon felt wronged. How could he be arrogant? Compared with other highlanders who only believed in knives, strong liquor and fists, he was always polite and well-mannered!

Wen Jiao read his inner thoughts: "A proud person is not necessarily arrogant, and a polite person is not necessarily humble. You are indeed a rare polite person on this Wuliang Plateau, and it is only because you are arrogant by nature and look down on everyone."
