Chapter 204: Watching the Monkey
Shen Shenshen immediately came to his senses when he saw Zhu Yanxiao's expression.
"This deer probably came here because it saw the fodder in our hands. These animals are friendly to whoever has food." After saying that, he fed the first deer the fodder, reached out and touched the first deer. The huge male deer also rubbed against Shen Shenshen.
Zhang Mingzhu also stepped forward and said, "God, let me try it too." Feng Modi also tried it, and both of them were able to touch the deer head.
Zhu Yanxiao looked at Shen Shen with admiration, and was very impressed by her quick reaction. He turned his head and squinted at the eunuch who was leading the way.
The eunuch realized that he had said something wrong, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He dared not say another word and stood to the side, bowing and waiting.
The three of them fed the sika deer for a while. Shen Shenshen looked around and said to Zhu Yanxiao, "Ziyuan, where are the monkeys?" She came here just to see the monkeys.
This time the eunuch took two steps forward and said, "Miss Shen, Monkey Mountain is just ahead. Please follow me."
The four of them immediately followed the eunuch who led the way towards Monkey Mountain.
Arriving at Monkey Mountain, in the dense jungle, monkeys of all sizes jumped up and down, very lively, chirping. They were agile, jumping freely between branches, as if welcoming the arrival of Shen Shenshen and his companions. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves and fell on them, reflecting their smooth and soft hair, which shone with a healthy luster. It was obvious at a glance that they were well taken care of.
The eunuch led everyone to the only big tree in the Monkey Mountain viewing area and said, "Prince Zhu and Second Miss Shen are lucky today. The Monkey King has come out and is resting on the tree. This is their favorite food and can be fed to the monkeys." After saying that, he quickly retreated, for fear of blocking the nobles from watching the monkeys.
The tree was very lush, and everyone saw a huge monkey king sitting in the dense tree canopy not far away. It was huge, and its hair was like a flowing golden waterfall, as if it was wearing a luxurious golden cloak. Several female monkeys gathered around the monkey king, some looked at Shen Shenshen and his group warily, some were helping the monkey king to remove lice from his body, and some were carrying a baby monkey on their backs.
Shen Shen excitedly grabbed Zhu Yanxiao's wide sleeves with one hand, pointed at the monkeys on the treetops with the other hand and said, "Ziyuan, look, it's the Monkey King, so majestic."
Zhu Yanxiao smiled and said, "This prince saw it."
Zhang Mingzhu and Feng Modi also excitedly held each other's hands. It was the first time for them to see a monkey and they were extremely excited.
Suddenly, the Monkey King seemed to have noticed Shen Shenshen and the others. It jumped down from the treetops and slowly walked towards them. Looking at the approaching Monkey King, his body was huge and a little creepy. Shen Shenshen was inexplicably scared and took a step back involuntarily. Seeing this, Zhu Yanxiao quickly stood in front of her and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, I am here."
The monkey king came closer, sniffed Zhu Yanxiao's hand, and then stretched out his paw to ask for food. Zhu Yanxiao frowned slightly, but still handed it some food given by the eunuch who led the way. The monkey king took the food and ate it contentedly, looking at Shen Shenshen from time to time, as if he was very interested in her.
Shen Shenshen remained vigilant. Based on her experience of feeding monkeys in Monkey Mountain in her previous life, her sixth sense told her that there seemed to be something wrong with this Monkey King.
Just as she was about to remind Zhang Mingzhu and Feng Modi, the monkey king seemed to see something behind them through the people, and immediately became irritable and uneasy, then showed a fierce look, danced and screamed at the people. The female monkeys behind him heard the monkey king's call and immediately pounced on the people, and the other monkeys that were a little further away also ran towards them.
The Monkey King jumped up and stretched out his arms to grab Shen Shenshen, who was half exposed behind Zhu Yanxiao.
"Ah!" Shen Shenshen screamed in shock, but she was prepared. She protected her head tightly with both hands and quickly dodged behind Zhu Yanxiao.
Zhu Yanxiao was quick-witted and stretched out his arms without hesitation to protect Shen Shen in his arms. At this moment, there was a sharp "hissing" sound, and the monkey's sharp and slender nails scratched the expensive and gorgeous robe of the prince, leaving three long and deep wounds on his arms. Blood gushed out from the long wounds in an instant, flowing like a spring, and instantly dyed the sleeves of the robe red.
In fact, when the Monkey King started to scream, Zhu Yanxiao was already alert and reacted. He shouted in a low voice: "Flowing clouds, flowing water."
However, although the two Flying Guard leaders jumped in front of Zhu Yanxiao at a very fast speed to block the Monkey King's attack, they were still a step too late. The Monkey King had already launched the attack first. When he saw that the prince was injured, he didn't care about the rarity of this monkey. Xingyun kicked the Monkey King hard and kicked him away. At the same time, Liushui kicked twice in succession, kicking away the female monkeys who saw the Monkey King injured and rushed over with fangs and claws.
The two of them had perfect tacit understanding, and almost at the same time, they uttered a few strange syllables. Then, after hearing the syllables, the other hidden Feidao Guards appeared one after another and rushed towards the monkeys like a storm. They were agile and swift, and every kick accurately kicked away the monkeys that pounced on them.
Zhang Mingzhu and Feng Modi were stunned with horror! They were terrified by what was happening before their eyes and didn't know what to do.
"Xingyun, immediately arrange for someone to protect the two young ladies, but don't stay too far away." Zhu Yanxiao ordered calmly.
"Yes!" Xingyun responded quickly. He rushed to Zhang Mingzhu and Feng Modi first, and used his body to protect them from the monkeys. Then, he uttered a few strange syllables, and then his figure flashed, and he passed over the two Flying Dao Guards as lightly as a bird, and stood steadily beside them.
Only then did Xingyun heave a sigh of relief, and turned back to the side of the prince Zhu Yanxiao to continue guarding them. Throughout the whole process, Xingyun and Liushui moved swiftly and accurately, as if they were already accustomed to such situations.
"Ziyuan, Ziyuan, are you okay?" Shen Shenshen felt so distressed when he saw Zhu Yanxiao's blood gushing out and his sleeves stained red that his eyes began to turn red.
"It's okay." Seeing Shen Shen in his arms with red eyes, he felt very happy. He looked up and saw the eunuch who had led the way and ran not far away, "Xingyun, catch that eunuch."
How could a eunuch be faster than the royal guards, let alone the leader?
There is a pavilion next to the Monkey Mountain for the royal family or officials to rest. In the middle of the pavilion is an eight-immortal table and several chairs. Zhu Yanxiao sat majestically on the chair and let Shen Shenshen help him treat the wound temporarily. Don't fantasize about alcohol or anything like that. Disinfection is impossible. Shen Shenshen can only find his own clean handkerchief to tighten and stop the bleeding.
After the Feidao guards dealt with the monkey, the eunuch who led the way was also captured and brought in front of Zhu Yanxiao. He knelt on the ground, his body trembling like a sieve, and he kept kowtowing, his mouth making noises, unable to utter a complete sentence.
Xingyun stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, I have just removed his jaw and taken out the poison hidden in his teeth."
Zhu Yanxiao nodded. "Humph. This prince is not soft-hearted." After saying that, he looked at Zhang Mingzhu and Feng Modi, "Ladies, today it is this prince and Miss Shen Er who have implicated you. We will prepare generous gifts another day. Please go back to the mansion first. Liushui, you take the two ladies back to the mansion. Remember, you can leave only after entering the mansion."
"Yes." Liu Shui clasped his fists.
The two looked at each other, knowing that Prince Zhu had a secret to ask, Zhang Mingzhu said tactfully: "Prince, Miss Shen, the prince was injured today, and we can't help much, so we will take our leave first. Thank you Miss Shen for the invitation, and I hope the prince will recover soon." The two bowed and said goodbye. After all, they were ladies from wealthy families, and their families were complicated, so the two legitimate daughters were very polite.
"I'm sorry, Mingzhu, Modi, I'll come to your house to apologize some other day." Shen Shenshen gave an embarrassed smile. A good day was ruined, and Ziyuan was injured. She couldn't help but feel angry.
"No, no, no, Shenshen, you don't have to feel guilty, it has nothing to do with you. The prince is injured, please take good care of him. Mingzhu and I will take our leave first."
Seeing the flowing water escorting the two away, Zhu Yanxiao said, "Xingyun, connect his jaw. I have something to ask you."
Xingyun stepped forward, stretched out his hand and made two "clicking sounds". The eunuch let out a miserable cry and Shen Shen felt pain just watching it.
