I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 80: Frequent capture of messengers, angering Nezha, exchanging hostages and chasing the pagoda
However, Zhuang Yan received the order from the Jade Emperor and went down to the mortal world and arrived at the army camp of the first heaven.

The seventy-two Earthly Fiend generals were in charge of guarding the camp gate at this time. Upon seeing Zhuang Yan coming, they immediately brought heavenly soldiers to stop him at the door.

"Who are you? This is the Heavenly Army camp, you are not allowed to trespass." General Di Kuixing shouted at Zhuang Yan.

Zhuang Yan raised the Jade Edict in his hand and said, "I am Lingtai Dongming Lord Zhuang Yan. I come here on the orders of the Jade Emperor. Please open the camp gate immediately. I want to see Nezha the Third Prince and convey my orders."

Hearing this, Di Kuixing and several other generals hurried down the gate tower, came to the camp gate and bowed, saying: "We respectfully welcome the Jade Order of the Great Heavenly Venerable."

After saying that, he ordered the heavenly soldiers to open the camp gate and invited Zhuang Yan into the camp. Led by Di Kuixing, they arrived at the military tent.

Inside the big tent, all the celestial generals gathered there. Nezha was seen sitting at the desk, discussing matters with the celestial generals.

The commander's tent opened, and Di Kuixing led Zhuang Yan in. Nezha and the other heavenly generals immediately looked over.

"Lord of Lingtai Mansion?" Nezha asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Di Kui Xing immediately reported: "Your Highness, Lingtai Mansion Lord is here to deliver the order by the Jade Emperor."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Nezha and the heavenly generals immediately stood up.

At this time, Zhuang Yan held up the imperial edict in his hand and said, "The Jade Emperor decrees this order. Deputy Marshal Nezha and all the heavenly generals shall obey your orders."

Nezha immediately walked out of the commander's desk and stood in the center of the commander's tent. All the heavenly generals in the tent also stood up and stood behind Nezha, then bowed with Nezha and said, "We will obey your orders."

Zhuang Yan walked to the commander's desk, opened the imperial edict and read it out. The content of the edict was not complicated. It was to let Nezha and Sun Wukong exchange hostages, and then let Zhuang Yan be the supervisor.

After Zhuang Yan finished reading the imperial edict, he said to Nezha, "Marshal, please accept the order."

Nezha stepped forward, took the imperial edict from Zhuang Yan, and then bowed and said, "Your Highness Nezha obeys your order."

After reading the imperial edict, Di Kuixing left the tent and went back to guard the camp gate, while Zhuang Yan stayed inside the tent.

Because his mission on this trip was to "supervise", Nezha set up a seat for Zhuang Yan under his desk.

After Zhuang Yan sat down, Nezha said to him, "We are discussing how to rescue our father and the heavenly generals."

"Oh?" Zhuang Yan asked, "Is there any result?"

Nezha shook his head and said, "It's still under discussion."

Zhuang Yan: "Then let's exchange hostages."

Nezha nodded and said, "Since the Great Celestial Venerable has issued an order, we should exchange hostages with the demon monkey."

Zhuang Yan said, "Since we want to exchange hostages, we need to send someone to the Flower-Fruit Mountain to inform the demon monkey. I'll ask the Marshal to arrange this matter."

Upon hearing this, Nezha immediately called out, "Giant Spirit God."

The giant spirit stood up in response, bowed and said, "I am here."

Nezha sent out an order, saying, "I want you to go to the Flower-Fruit Mountain immediately and inform the demon monkey Sun Wukong about the exchange of hostages."

The giant spirit took the command arrow, bowed and swore, then turned and walked out of the tent.

Zhuang Yan suddenly felt something was wrong when he saw this scene. He immediately stood up and shouted outside the tent, "Wait a minute."

After saying that, Zhuang Yan stood up and chased after him, but when he opened the tent, there was no sign of the giant spirit anywhere.

Zhuang Yan turned around, stared at Nezha on the table and said, "Didn't the deputy marshal feel that something was wrong?"

"What's wrong?" Nezha asked in surprise, "Is there anything missing?"

Then Nezha asked the generals in the tent, "Did I miss anything?"

The generals shook their heads and said, "No, the Marshal has made all the arrangements."

Zhuang Yan said nothing upon seeing this, but returned to his seat and sat down.

Just a moment later, two heavenly soldiers came into the tent and reported: "Deputy Marshal, the giant spirit general entered the Flower-Fruit Mountain. As soon as he explained his purpose, he was beaten up by the demon monkey and taken into the cave."

"What?" Nezha was furious and said, "I sent the Giant Spirit God to exchange hostages with him. How dare he capture my messenger?"

The soldier said, "Reporting to the deputy marshal, the demon monkey said that he would send an envoy to inform the exchange of hostages, but why didn't he agree on a date? It was clearly a trick, so he captured the giant spirit general."

Hearing this, Nezha slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, I was careless." Then he asked Zhuang Yan, "Is this what you just said?"

Zhuang Yan nodded and said, "Yes."

Nezha asked: "Then why don't you finish what you are saying?"

Zhuang Yan laughed and said, "The giant spirit had already gone down to the mortal world at that time. What's the point of me finishing my words?"

Nezha scratched his head and said, "Okay, okay, it's my fault. Let's do it again." Then he waved away the heavenly soldiers and said to the Four Heavenly Kings, "Four Heavenly Kings, you will go down to the Flower-Fruit Mountain and arrange a date to exchange hostages with the demon monkey."

The Four Heavenly Kings stood up and bowed, saying, "May I ask the Deputy Marshal, when will the hostage exchange be scheduled?"

Nezha thought for a moment, then asked Zhuang Yan, "When do you think the hostage exchange will be scheduled?"

Zhuang Yan said, "Tomorrow morning at 11:00 a.m."

Nezha nodded, and then said to the Four Heavenly Kings: "Let's exchange the hostages outside the Flower-Fruit Mountain at 1:05 a.m. tomorrow morning."

The Four Heavenly Kings bowed and sang his greeting, then left.

Nezha looked at the four heavenly kings who were leaving and said with a smile, "Is that demon monkey going to say anything this time?" As soon as he finished speaking, Nezha saw that Zhuang Yan's face looked a little strange, so he asked, "Lord Lingtai, what's wrong with you?"

Zhuang Yan shook his head, turned off the "Search for Secrets" function, and then turned his gaze outside the tent.

Nezha also followed Zhuang Yan's gaze and looked outside the tent. Soon he saw eight heavenly soldiers walking quickly into the tent. Nezha looked closely and found that they were all heavenly soldiers under the Four Heavenly Kings.

The heavenly soldiers bowed and said, "Reporting to the deputy commander, the four heavenly kings were also defeated and captured by the demon monkey."

Upon hearing this, Nezha's eyes widened, and he immediately slammed the table and stood up, angrily saying: "Damn Bi Ma Wen, what does this mean?!"

When the heavenly soldier saw Nezha getting angry, he immediately reported, "The demon monkey said he knew about the hostage exchange. He will exchange hostages with the heavenly army outside the Flower-Fruit Mountain at Mao Hour tomorrow. As for the Four Heavenly Kings, please invite them into the cave to drink a few cups of tea. So the Four Heavenly Kings were also captured and taken into the cave."

"Bimawen has gone too far in bullying me!" Nezha's handsome face flushed with anger. Light flashed in his hands. A demon-slaying knife appeared in his left hand and a demon-slaying sword appeared in his right hand. He stepped out of the commander's desk and said, "Today I will definitely fight him to see who is better."

Seeing Nezha like this, the surrounding celestial generals stood up and stepped forward to stop Nezha. The twenty-eight constellations held him tightly and kept persuading him.

"Deputy Marshal, calm down, calm down."

"Don't act rashly at this moment. When we exchange hostages tomorrow, we'll get back the Giant Spirit and the Four Heavenly Kings."

"Yes, that demon monkey is doing this just to capture a few more hostages. The deputy marshal must not be impulsive."

Nezha was forcibly dragged back to the desk by the heavenly generals. Sitting back at the desk, Nezha became angrier and angrier, so he simply put away his weapon, put his feet on the desk, folded his arms across his chest, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The heavenly generals could only smile helplessly and then sat down in their seats and closed their eyes to rest.

Soon the night faded away and the sky became bright. At the hour of Yin, Zhuang Yan immediately stepped forward to wake Nezha up.

Nezha was sleeping soundly and was a little unhappy when he was suddenly woken up, but when he saw it was Zhuang Yan, he punched him directly.

Zhuang Yan tilted his head slightly, just avoiding the punch, not an inch more or less. Nezha laughed, stood up and said to Zhuang Yan: "Not bad, you can avoid my punch, you are quite capable."

Zhuang Yan smiled slightly, then raised his hand and slapped Nezha on the head.

Nezha had expected this and dodged immediately by turning sideways, but Zhuang Yan's slap was sure to hit him, and Nezha, who had just dodged halfway, was immediately pulled back, and then his head was slapped hard by Zhuang Yan.

"You!!!" Nezha covered his head and glared at Zhuang Yan.

Zhuang Yan laughed and said, "But you didn't dodge my slap, so what can you say?"

"Okay, okay, I'll remember this slap." Nezha said this, but he was confused in his heart. He had clearly dodged it just now, so how could it be that
He recalled the strange scene just now, and was somewhat surprised at Zhuang Yan's magical power. He thought to himself, "This kid has some skills. No wonder he was recommended by Laojun."

After the fight, Nezha immediately began to issue orders to the troops, ordering them to bring out the monkeys, and then led the heavenly soldiers and generals to the lower world.

When they arrived outside the Flower-Fruit Mountain, it was exactly the hour of Mao. Sun Wukong was already waiting there with Tota-Bearing Heavenly King and other heavenly generals.

Seeing the heavenly soldiers and generals led by Nezha forming a battle array, and seeing all the monkeys and their descendants being held in the array, Sun Wukong felt distressed and shouted quickly, "Third Prince, can we exchange hostages?"

Nezha said: "Yes, but we need to send an inspector to ensure that both sides can exchange hostages safely and properly."

When Sun Wukong heard this, he immediately asked, "What kind of conspiracy are you going to play? I tell you, if you dare to play tricks on me, the golden hoop in my hand will not be a vegetarian."

Nezha immediately said angrily: "Monkey, you are so ashamed to say that, who captured the messenger I sent to deliver the message last night?"

Sun Wukong felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. He just smiled and said, "Okay, okay, who are you sending as inspector? Come out and let me take a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuang Yan flew out from among the heavenly generals and said, "I am the supervisory envoy for the hostage exchange between the two parties."

The moment Sun Wukong saw Zhuang Yan, his pupils shrank and he immediately broke into a sweat and said, "World..."

Before he could even call out "Uncle Shi", Zhuang Yan shouted, "What do you mean by Shi? What do you want to say?"

Sun Wukong quickly changed his words and said, "It's you. That day in Tushita Palace, I hit you in the face with a gourd. Is your face okay?"

Zhuang Yan said, "Thank you for asking. Your face is in great shape. It has never been so handsome."

Nezha: "."

Sun Wukong: "."

One hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals: "."

With Zhuang Yan as the supervisory envoy, Sun Wukong felt completely relieved. Although he and his uncle were openly enemies at the moment, the relationship still existed after all, and Sun Wukong did not believe that Zhuang Yan would harm him.

Moreover, after he escaped from Tushita Palace that day, he realized that his uncle must have let him go in Tushita Palace, otherwise, with his "pottery jar magic", how could he have escaped?
The subsequent hostage exchange went smoothly. Neither side had any problems and the hostage exchange was completed quickly.

But just as Sun Wukong was about to return to Huaguo Mountain with his monkeys, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King saw Nezha coming and hurriedly said to Zhuang Yan: "Supervisory Envoy, my pagoda is still in the hands of the demon monkey."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Yan immediately chased after Sun Wukong, who was flying away in front of him. When the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King saw Nezha approaching him with such a fierce momentum, he turned pale with fear. He quickly asked Marshal Tianpeng, the Five Directions Jie Di, the Twelve Yuanchen, the Four Heavenly Kings, the Giant Spirit and others to surround him, and then asked, "What do you want to do, my son?"

When Nezha heard this, he rolled his eyes, then bowed and said, "I am here to welcome my father."

Seeing that there were heavenly soldiers and generals everywhere around him, Tota Heavenly King finally felt a little safer and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, my son, you have worked hard."

Suddenly, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King's face changed, and he said quickly: "Not good, the supervisory envoy has gone after the demon monkey. It's dangerous!"

After saying this, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King hurriedly took out his command flag and issued an order: "Heavenly soldiers and generals, listen to my order, immediately follow me to attack the Flower-Fruit Mountain! Capture the demon monkey."

Afterwards, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King immediately led another hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals into the Flower-Fruit Mountain. In front, Sun Wukong and his monkeys had just entered the cave when they turned around and saw Zhuang Yan coming behind them, and then they saw the hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals rushing towards them.
