Chapter 174: Lou Zi
Walking through the long gravel road, entering the huge pit under the main peak, and bypassing the winding corridor that coiled around the main peak like a long snake, Yanxi finally came to a bamboo shed halfway up the mountain, led by Heiwei.
"You wait here, I'll report first. ”
Yanxi nodded silently.
After a while, Kurotail came out of the room, and he came out with him, along with the squirrel medic holding a large stack of bamboo slips, and three or five little demons in cloth robes, like civilian personnel.
A group of little demons passed by Yanxi and couldn't help but glance at Yanxi.
In terms of size, this is definitely a massive fortress. But in terms of style, Huaguoshan is actually more like a cottage.
Even though it has enough airport to dock dozens of warships, its own town and industry, a large number of residents, a huge school yard, and even an almost impeccable defense, it still looks like a cottage.
Buildings that can be built with bamboo will never use wooden planks. Standing on the hill and looking down, more than half of the buildings on the plain between the crater and the main peak on the periphery of the entire Huaguo Mountain boundary are thatched roofs.
In addition to the soldiers in armor, most of the residents are clothed, and the hemp ropes are tied to their bodies, as if the clothes on their bodies will fall apart as soon as they are untied. Not a single piece of silk and satin could be found.
Dressed in satin underwear and dressed in delicate armor, Yanxi stood here out of place, which could be described as out of place. It's almost impossible not to be noticeable.
"Let's go inside. Kuroo winked at Yeon.
Taking a deep breath, Yeon-xi pushed the door open and walked in.
Small, even a little cramped, bamboo hut with straw on top, and half of the mountain embedded in the mountain is a rough, unpolished stone wall.
In this small room, there are two bookshelves, on which are all kinds of books and bamboo slips piled up in a disorderly manner.
On the side facing the outside of the mountain, there is a bamboo shack balcony where you can overlook the school grounds below. The side facing the mountain is enclosed, with only a low table.
At this moment, the monkey was sitting on a futon at the low table with one leg crossed, looking at Yanxi with a half-frown.
"Transformation Realm ......" only for a moment, Yanxi clearly felt it. It's not just the Transformation Realm. To be precise, it is the Transformation God Realm Taiyi Scattered Immortals. It's a little higher than your own cultivation.
"What are you looking for from me?"
When asked like this, Yanxi suddenly came to her senses, and quickly straightened her expression and said, "Senior brother...... Senior brother wants you to take a trip to the demon capital. ”
"What are you going to do?"
"Something. ”
"If you have something to decide, why are you looking for me? I don't understand. So saying, the monkey reached out and grabbed a peeled nut from the fruit bowl, threw it into his mouth and chewed it.
Helpless, Yan Xi had no choice but to say softly: "You are the nominal commander of the new army, we need you to go to the Ten Thousand Demon Palace." ”
Hearing this, the monkey raised his eyelids to look at Yanxi, straightened his waist slightly, and sat lazily.
"Concrete. Stretching out his hand, the monkey grabbed a handful of melon seeds and held them in his hand, and swallowed.
"Specifically...... We lost the battle. As a rule, this situation should be explained by you, as the commander-in-chief, so ......"
"Defeat?
"Just a few days ago. ”
"How many people died?"
"We're not dead. ”
"Huh?"
Under the gaze of the monkey, Yanxi had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "We are fighting in coordination with the Xiaoxing army, and we are targeting the mouth of the Guanjiang River. According to the agreement, the new army was responsible for cutting off their foreign aid, but it was temporarily discovered that the enemy's foreign aid was different from the information obtained at the beginning, not 2,000 troops, but 20,000. ”
"So you didn't fight, just retreated?"
"Yes. ”
"How many Peng Demon Kings were killed or injured?"
Pursing her lips, after a while, Yan Xi said hesitantly: "Peng Demon King...... More than 20,000 troops were lost. ”
The monkey's brows furrowed.
"So...... Let me go to the temple to carry the black cauldron?"
Yeon-hee blinked and didn't answer.
She didn't answer, and the monkey didn't speak, just looked at her quietly, and ate the melon seeds. A hippie smile.
Before coming, Yanxi was full of confidence, after all, if it weren't for the concession of the multi-eyed monster, the monkey would not own this mining area, let alone be exempt from taxes. In order to keep the mining area and continue to live a comfortable life, she felt that it was impossible for the monkey to refuse her request.
After all, although he has the title of commander of the new army, in the final analysis, he is just a little demon. It is not much harder to break a monkey's hand than it is to break a baby's.
But now...... Feng Shui takes turns, 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi......
After a while, after making sure that she didn't answer and the monkey would not agree, Yanxi finally opened her mouth.
"Sort of. According to the agreement between you and your senior brother, let you go to the temple, you must go. Here's what it's up to you to do. ”
"Really?" said the monkey, "Well, I'm sure I'll go, but it's not appropriate to throw a black pot at me for no reason......, right?" Compensate. Otherwise, I can go to the palace and say that you disobeyed the military order, and at that time, you will be a name for teaching without a way. ”
"What compensation do you want?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. Didn't you just know that you stabbed such a big man? I have to think about it. ”
"You!" Yan Xi was angry for a while, but she didn't know how to say it.
The momentum has been completely overwhelmed.
Patting away the scraps on his hands, the monkey said leisurely, "Do you want to stay here or go back first?"
"What?"
"Stay here for a few days, or go back first? I've got more important things to do than you. I'll do your business when I'm done. Of course, you can also offer a sky-high price, which is more important than the matter at hand, and will naturally give you priority. ”
"The Peng Demon King's fold has already been handed over, they want to use this incident to attack the new army!
"Do you know that things can't be delayed? Then you still come in a carriage?" the monkey put away his smile and said coldly, "Is this my fault?
"No...... No. ”
"It's not my fault, but if you want me to carry the black pot, then you have to listen to me. When I say a few days late, I'll be a few days late. If you don't like it, you can do as you please, but don't ask me to go to the temple. With round eyes, the monkey said word by word, "Do you understand what I mean?"
In the small room, the two were at a stalemate.
After a while, Yanxi had to bow her head slightly and said, "Okay...... Listen to you. ”
"It's not my fault, I can cooperate with you, but I can't lose anything. ”
"It's nature. ”
"Also, I heard that you have fought for a lot of military expenses for the new army. I'm the commander-in-chief, but I haven't seen a single thing. On my side are 2,000 soldiers, and they will be divided among me according to their share. ”
"You!" Yanxi's fists clenched.
"Huh?" the monkey glared back.
Helpless, Yanxi could only whisper: "I can't be the master of this matter." ”
"Then hurry up and ask your senior brother, he agreed, and I'll set off again. Lao Tzu is very busy, so I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. As he spoke, the monkey picked up a copy from the piles of paperwork on the table, held it in his hand and flipped it up, and said casually, "Okay, you can go." I'm busy with other things. Notify me when the result is out. Blacktail - Sending off!"
