Chapter 90: A New Proposal from the Pleyes
Twenty days after the end of the rebellion in the demon capital, Ao Tingxin, the fourth princess of the East China Sea, finally arrived in the demon capital.
Twenty days, this is the normal time it takes for the battleship to depart from the Dragon Palace and arrive at the demon capital. At the same time, it is also the time reserved for Ao Tingxin to himself.
During these twenty days, the battleship walked slowly, and Ao Tingxin sat firmly in it, but she used all the connections she could think of to mediate for the upcoming pilgrimage.
There is no doubt that for her, the most ideal outcome is to be able to meet Di Jun directly and get a sentence or two from Di Jun's mouth. And if you directly meet the multi-eyed monster, the dragon clan will face huge trouble.
Just a sentence or two, the words of Di Jun, who has just pacified the rebellion in the demon capital, are oracles among the demon clans, and everyone is in danger at this time, and no one will dare to disobey.
As long as there are a few sentences or two, Ao Tingxin can make a thousand interpretations, so as to ensure that the dragon clan is still invincible after this great turmoil.
However, the reality is that no matter what method she uses, no one can be sure that she will meet Dijun. The gate of the Moyu Imperial City is still closed to the dragon clan.
Or to be more precise, the current Moyu Imperial City is only open to multi-eyed monsters.
Twenty days passed, and when Ao Tingxin set foot in the demon capital, she still had no clue, which made her mood extremely low.
As before, it was still the Confucius Si Si Qing Yu who greeted Ao Tingxin, but the specifications were much lower. The reason for this, there is no need for Qing Yu to say, Ao Tingxin naturally knows it.
I couldn't see Di Jun, and the multi-eyed monster didn't mean to see her, as if no one knew about her arrival at all, and in the demon capital, she suffered a cold shoulder that she had never been afraid of.
It was a depressing atmosphere, as if the other party raised his hand and was about to slap you, and you had been waiting for it enough, but the other party had not made a move.
So, you can only be scared all the time.
Maybe this is also part of the punishment, the more time passes, the longer it drags on, the more uneasy Ao Tingxin becomes. However, what can be done if you are uneasy? Except for Di Jun, now in the entire demon capital, the multi-eyed monster can be said to cover the sky with one hand.
Ao Tingxin could only silently wait for the real punishment to come.
For ten days, the ruler of the dragon trade spent his time in torment, and he didn't even dare to show his worries to anyone, so he could only wait.
It wasn't until the eleventh day, when she handed over the eleventh letter to the Much-Eyed Monster, that she was finally summoned, and the location was in the Much-Eyed Monster's mansion, a cave buried deep underground in the dungeon of the demon capital.
The stone door rumbled open, and Ao Tingxin took small steps and walked cautiously into the stone room.
The length and width are about ten zhang, and in the spacious study, there is not even a little decoration except for the desk, bookshelves, and books. The stone bricks underfoot are so rough that the walls are not even whitewashed...... Who would have thought that this was actually the study of a multi-eyed prime minister under one person and above ten thousand people?
However, this is the truth, in this room, there is not even the slightest superfluous thing. The life of the multi-eyed prime minister is so simple that it is almost an ascetic.
The fire in the brazier creaked and burned, and the shadows swayed slightly on the wall.
The multi-eyed monster sat alone at the table, carefully reviewing something, without even raising his head.
Slightly blessed, Ao Tingxin said softly: "The daughter of Ao Guang in the East China Sea, Ao Tingxin, see the multi-eyed prime minister." ”
"No courtesy. The multi-eyed monster sighed lightly, closed the fold in his hand, and threw it aside.
The gaze that looked at Ao Tingxin was cold and a little unkind.
"Thank you, Prime Minister Duomu. Ao Tingxin slowly stood up and looked straight ahead.
In the cave, which was as quiet as a void, the two looked at each other quietly.
At this moment, Ao Tingxin's heart was faintly worried.
"The fourth princess is looking for an old man, is there anything wrong?"
Coughing lightly, Ao Tingxin put on his usual trademark smile, and said loudly: "Back to the prime minister's words, my father heard that the demon capital has changed, and he sent Tingxin to come to see if there is anything that can help." In the past few days, listening to the heart in the demon capital, I always remember the teachings of my father, and I saw that the demon capital was in ruins, and the displaced people were lost, and my heart was very sad to listen to. However, rebuilding cannot be done in a day. Listen to my heart, my dragon clan and the demon capital are like vines and trees, the demon is prosperous, the dragon is prosperous, the demon is declining, and the dragon is declining. Therefore, Tingxin specially asked his father to give a small gift to help the Prime Minister of Many Eyes, and asked the Prime Minister not to dislike it. ”
After that, Ao Tingxin had already taken out a gift slip from his sleeve and was about to hand it over with both hands.
However, at this moment, the multi-eyed monster's eyes lowered slightly, and he spoke.
"Yes...... Does your father mean it, or does it mean yours?"
Ao Tingxin was slightly stunned, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Naturally, my father's teachings come first, and I listen to my heart's instructions later." ”
"So, what about the Hydra? is that what you mean, or is it your father's intention?"
At this question, Ao Ting's heart couldn't help but freeze, and the gift list in his hand didn't know whether to hand it over for a while.
Lengthening his voice, he asked word by word: "Or is this also your father's teachings first, and you ask for instructions later?"
With that, the multi-eyed monster widened his eyes and quietly watched Ao Tingxin.
After a long time, Ao Tingxin smiled, lowered his eyes slightly, and said softly: "Please be the prime minister." On the same day, the nine-headed insect was wounded and went on the ship, and took Tingxin hostage, and Tingxin cultivated to be low, so he was sent to Wanshou Mountain in desperation. If you want to say something wrong, it is naturally the fault of listening to your heart, and the father is ...... Independent. ”
"Really?" Hearing this, Duomu couldn't help but laugh.
"There is no lie in listening to the heart. ”
The two were at a stalemate.
At this moment, the multi-eyed monster couldn't help but be a little admired.
This time, Ao Tingxin is the meat on the board, that is, the multi-eyed monster ordered Ao Tingxin to be executed, in front of the conclusive evidence of the dragon clan's involvement in the civil strife in the demon capital, the Dragon King of the East China Sea probably can't do anything but cry.
However, Ao Tingxin can still be so indifferent, which can be regarded as powerful.
To be honest, what Ao listened to in his heart is also reasonable. Even the multi-eyed monster felt that this should be the truth. However, whether it is forced or active cooperation is not what the multi-eyed monster is concerned about now.
After a long time, the multi-eyed monster raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "Remember the question I mentioned earlier, about adjusting the selling price?"
Ao Tingxin replied respectfully: "Tingxin has already asked my father, and my father has shown it, since the multi-eyed prime minister has proposed, the dragon clan should cooperate." ”
"At this time and then, that incident has passed, and there is no need to mention it again. Waving his hand, the multi-eyed monster said softly: "Etiquette, there is no need." As your father said, the demon is glorious, and the dragon is glorious. In this case, the old man is not polite and treats you as his own. ”
"First, the demon capital is in ruins, and the need is huge, but the treasury is empty. Therefore, from today onwards, the prices of the items sold in the Dragon Palace in the trade will be reduced by 20% as before. ”
"Second, the Dragon Palace immediately counted all the goods stored in the demon capital, registered them separately, and sent them to the bank for the record, without the slightest omission. ”
"Third, all the goods sent to the Dragon Palace into the Demon Kingdom must be reported in advance and can only be transported after permission. At the same time, the monthly incoming and outgoing accounts also need to be reported by the bank. Don't leave anything out. There is no private trade, especially with the Demon Kings. Once found......"
Holding out a finger, the multi-eyed monster smiled, but he didn't say the final punishment.
Every year, the trade between the Dragon Palace and the Demon Capital is astronomical, and all the goods are sold at a price of two percent...... This bite is not comparable to the annual tribute.
However, more troubles are yet to come.
Report, report, report, to put it bluntly, the multi-eyed monster must master the detailed trade information of the dragon clan in the entire demon country. At the same time, it also forbade the private trade between the dragons and the demon kings.
The previous price increase incident, to put it bluntly, only increased the cost of the demon kings to obtain resources, and now this hand is directly making the demon kings have money and can't buy things.
However, in doing so, it is good for the multi-eyed monsters, who have military power in their hands and can pinch the dragon clan at any time to trade in the demon kingdom, do the demon kings agree?
At this moment, Ao Tingxin's mind was already blank.
