Chapter 1101: Two Monkeys Arrive
Not long after, when daylight began to break, a cloud of dust rose from the head of dozens of horses at the end of the official road on the border between Wuzhou and Hengzhou.

Shen Yuan strode briskly carrying the white jade pillar that stood up to the sky. His cloth shoes had long been soaked in mud, and his strong chest under the cloth clothes rose and fell with his breathing. However, he did not care at all. Instead, he thrust the crystal white stick into the puddle, splashing mud spots three feet high, which startled a few crows and made them fly onto the dead branches.

The eldest brother of the long-armed ape really deserves the nickname "Great Sage Super Heaven". He traveled for three days and nights but still felt unsatisfied. If Landushou had not stopped him, he would have carried the white jade pillar and directly broke through the gate of Wuzhou City.

"Master Lan, please tell me, where is that damn Emperor Jiang now?"

Shen Yuan grabbed the wine gourd at his waist and took a sip of the strong liquor. The liquor dripped down his beard and soaked his coarse cloth clothes into dark plum blossoms.

He hated this snail's pace of marching the most, but Commander Luowang always used "the lord's strict order" to pressure others, as if there was a man-eating monster hiding in Wuzhou City.

And even if there are man-eating monsters, what does Shen Yuan have to fear!
It's just that he and his junior brother came down the mountain this time to gain fame and honor, and in the future they will have to work under the Duke of Zhenguo, so naturally they have to be obedient and leave a good impression.

Therefore, even though his active nature as a monkey made him extremely impatient, he still endured it.

When Lan Dushou in front heard Shen Yuan's impatient question, he immediately stopped his horse, and the sleeves of his purple-black robe rustled in the morning breeze.

He glanced at Shen Yuan's eight-foot-tall burly figure, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. Although this rough man was Sun Wukong's eldest brother, he was much easier to fool than the clever stone monkey. The three sentences of "My lord is looking forward to it" were enough to make him furious.

"Don't worry, General Shen."

Lan Dushou jumped off his horse, the corners of his robe embroidered with spider patterns sweeping across the dead leaves on the ground.

"30 miles west of Wuzhou City, there is a Luomapo Julao Pass, which is adjacent to Wuzhou Lake. It is an important stronghold set up by Zhu Jiuyin. Inside is stationed Sun Jian, a general of the Sun family under the command of Wuzhou bandit leader Jiang Xiaobai!"

"If the general could carry this fellow's head..."

He deliberately dragged out the last word, and Shen Yuan's eyes, like copper bells, widened.

"What's the point of a head? I'm going to use this white jade pillar to smash him into pulp!"

Shen Yuan slapped the weapon with his palm, causing a rain of leaves to fall from the locust tree. He hated such pedantic twists and turns the most. If his junior brother Sun Wukong had not been in the Hengzhou army, even a sedan chair carried by eight people would not have been able to invite him to come down the mountain.

Suddenly, the sound of water splashing was heard coming from the reeds beside the road. Wu Zhiqi's purple gold beam broke through the water, and the red-butted monkey touched the reed stalks with its toes, without getting any dirt on it.

This water monkey was born extremely handsome, but there was a hint of evil in his eyebrows, making him look like a bewitching demon in a storybook.

"Master Lan's strategy of driving the monkey to swallow the elephant is brilliant."

Wu Zhiqi shook his wet silver hair, and the purple gold beam turned into a beautiful stick flower in his palm.

"I just don't know how many blows Zhu Jiuyin can withstand from me?"

As a great monster of the Huai River who dared to go against the will of heaven and earth and commit crimes when Dayu was controlling the floods, Wu Zhiqi, the red-butted horse monkey, also maintains the usual rebelliousness of the four monkeys.

But the difference between him and the reckless gibbon is that his brain is a little better than the gibbon's!
Lan Dushou secretly thought that this red-butted monkey was difficult to deal with, but his smile became more and more attentive.

"General Wu, you are joking. With the two of you joining forces, even Emperor Jiang himself will be in trouble."

He was best at understanding the temperaments of these Gangqi-side generals. He knew that Wu Zhiqi hated being compared with others the most, so he had to use words to provoke him.

Sure enough, Wu Zhiqi sneered when he heard that, and slammed the purple gold beam across the sea to the ground heavily. As the strong energy surged, all the dew within a few feet radius was shaken.

"Master Lan, please watch carefully. When I demolish the Wuzhou city gate, don't forget to ask for credit for me in front of the Duke of Zhenguo."

He hated being underestimated the most, and this time he was determined to teach the world that water monkeys were still man-eaters even when they came ashore.

Shen Yuan, however, was too impatient to listen to these verbal battles, and he hefted the sky-supporting white jade pillar onto his shoulder, causing the official road to crack open with a gap about a foot wide.

"Stop talking nonsense! Lan Dushou, just lead the way. I'll smash the head of that weirdo Zhu Jiuyin to pieces, and then I'll drink three hundred cups with you!"

As he spoke, a white jade-colored aura emanated from him, causing the bark of the old locust trees beside the road to peel off, as if a layer of jade chips had been laid on the official road.

Lan Dushou was secretly happy, but pretended to be embarrassed.

“Generals, you don’t know that this Luoma Slope is set up with the Liuhe Jiugong Formation of Zhu Jiuyin and Sun Bin, a subordinate of Jiang Xiaobai. Even if a war god-level warrior rashly breaks in…”

Before he finished speaking, he felt a bad wind blowing by his ears. It was Shen Yuan's white jade pillar brushing against his temples and smashing the rocks three meters away into pieces.

"I don't care what kind of formation it is!" Shen Yuan's saliva splashed all over Lan Dushou's face.

"You just need to point out the direction, and I, Old Shen, will kill him and make sure he never comes back!"

He hated the roundabout ways of these military advisors and counselors the most. If it were his temper, he would have picked up a stick and beat them up long ago.

Wu Zhiqi suddenly chuckled, and the purple gold beam across the sea spun round and round in his palm.

"Lord Lan's singing, reciting, acting and fighting are even more exciting than the opera performers in Tianxiang Tower."

He suddenly leaped onto the mount beside Lan Dushou and slashed the other's neck with the purple gold beam.

"I just wonder if there are any 'surprises' that the Master has arranged for us brothers in Wuzhou?"

Lan Dushou suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. This red-butted monkey seemed cynical, but he was actually very careful and could see through the hidden guidance in his words in an instant.

"General Wu, you are joking. I am just..."

He suppressed his surprise and remained respectful.

"Moreover, the lord has already issued a secret order. Wuzhou Lake is a battlefield given to the general by heaven. It is in need of a brave general like you who is unparalleled in water combat. As for the Great Sage Chaotian..."

Then, Lan Dushou glanced at the purple gold beam in Wu Zhiqi's hand which was still emitting cold air, and his smile became even more intense.

"Look at the words 'Di Jiang'. They are written with the blood of General Sun Wukong!"

He suddenly turned to Shen Yuan, and half of the secret report was revealed between his fluttering sleeves.

Suddenly, thunder exploded in the rain, and Shen Yuan's pupils shrank suddenly. The two words "Dijiang" on the secret report were bright red, and there were tiny golden rays condensing in the places where the ink had not yet dried!

He let out a low roar from his throat, and the sky-high white jade pillar slammed into the ground, and the rain within a ten-foot radius was shaken into mist.

"How dare you, Di Jiang! You dare to hurt my junior brother!"

"Lan Dushou, lead the way! I, Old Shen, will smash that fellow's head into pieces!"

Shen Yuan tore open the front of his cloth shirt, and the monkey-shaped tattoo on his chest glowed red in the rain.

"Big Brother, wait a minute, Master Lan hasn't said where we should focus our efforts."

Wu Zhiqi sneered, thrust the purple gold beam across the sea into the muddy water, and actually lifted up a bluestone as big as a millstone.

"The 72 linked docks of Wuzhou Lake are a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones behind."

"I heard along the way that your Hengzhou army was stopped outside the Wuling Lake for a long time. If it weren't for a man named Zhou Gongjin who suddenly appeared behind you, I'm afraid you would still be stopped outside the lake and unable to move forward!"

He ran his fingertips across the dark patterns on the beam, and water droplets flowed down the gullies, forming miniature whirlpools on the ground.

"General Akashiri has good eyesight. Here is the lord's secret order—"

Lan Dushou cursed in his heart that this monkey was difficult to deal with, but his appearance became more respectful.

"Just remember, General Shen will go by land to scare the enemy, and General Wu will go by water to sneak through Chencang. As for this bamboo tube..."

He took out a wax-sealed bamboo tube from his bosom and refused to open it even though the rain washed it.

"It won't be too late to see after we behead Di Jiang!"

He suddenly threw the bamboo tube into the air.

"Playing tricks! I will first smash that ant called Sun Jian, and then go meet Di Jiang. No matter what top war god he is, he can be beaten with just one stick..."

The sky-high white jade pillar held the bamboo tube firmly, Shen Yuan said in a muffled voice.
