Chapter 305: Dilemma
With a "bang", the monkey slammed his fist on the table.
The voice echoed through the small cabin.
The generals of the new army, who had crowded a room, all looked at him silently, along with Ao Tingxin, who was sitting next to him.
Covering his face, the monkey sat silently.
The generals present looked at each other one by one.
After a while, the monkey let go of the hand covering his face and said, "You all go down first, I have something to talk about with the fourth princess." ”
"No!"
The generals scattered and went out, and only Ao Tingxin and monkeys were left in the cabin.
"I always thought it was the macaque king's ghost, and installing gongs on battleships is useful, as proof of this. But now suddenly it's useless. ”
"So, don't you think it's the Macaque King?"
"No, I think it's still the Macaque King. After all, there are more than nightmares around the Macaque King. Nightmares were just a means for him. has been in business for tens of thousands of years, even if he has an unknown team, it is not surprising. What's more, he still has a large amount of military pay missing. Most likely, it was used to raise this group of centaurs. Taking a deep breath, the monkey continued, "I don't quite understand the point of him doing this. ”
"Huh?" Ao Tingxin raised his eyes slightly and looked at the monkey.
"Is it just to frame the Jiao Demon King......? Does he have a need for the supplies themselves?"
With that, the monkey looked at Ao Tingxin again.
After thinking about it, Ao Tingxin said: "Didn't we guess that his money was used to raise the army? In this world, the most expensive thing is to raise the army." A huge army, literally a bottomless pit. And...... All of his current properties in the demon capital have been accepted by the multi-eyed prime minister, and the economic source has been cut off. If all the money was used to support the army before, then now in order to maintain it, it must come out to loot. In this way, it makes sense. ”
"But where is this army?" asked the monkey.
At this question, Ao Tingxin couldn't help but be silent.
This puzzle is still unsolved.
Rubbing his temples, the monkey sighed helplessly: "Why do these guys like to play dumb riddles so much? Forget it, it's useless to think about it." How's it going over there?"
"What do you mean?"
"I'm talking about your father, and your uncles. ”
"I haven't reacted yet, when I go back, I should ......" Ao Tingxin sighed softly: "You can find a way as soon as possible, I should be able to hold on for a while." ”
"What's the worst-case scenario?"
"At worst, they break the contract and cut off your support. ”
"Won't you be affected?"
"What can I be affected by? Can they still abolish me, the fourth princess of the East China Sea? At most, they will hand over the authority and let my third brother of the West Sea take care of things, and I will go back to the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea to live in peace." It's also fun to be idle. ”
The monkey craned his neck and cautiously asked, "That's it?"
"That's it. Ao Tingxin replied expressionlessly.
"Isn't that bad?" the monkey scratched his face and laughed, "It seems that I was thinking too much." ”
Ao listened to his heart but did not speak, just quietly looked at the monkey.
Seeing this, the monkey had to cough dryly twice, dilute his original smile, and said, "What are you doing?"
"Do you remember our agreement?" asked Ao Tingxin.
"You mean ......"
"I mean, I'm betting everything on you, and you must be famous in the Three Realms, under one person, and above ten thousand. Don't forget, you said you wanted to be Monkey King. ”
Hearing this, the monkey couldn't help but lower his head, and his eyebrows were frowned. After a while, he sighed lightly: "Okay, I understand." ”
"The current new army, if it cuts off the support of the dragon clan, it is equivalent to being cut off its wings, which will inevitably lead to the compression of power. I'll try to buy time, but you also have to figure out the ins and outs of the matter as soon as possible, and don't let this happen again...... Or at least we can't let this continue, otherwise I'm going to be in trouble on my side. ”
The monkey nodded silently.
"If you understand, I have to go back first. Now, the house is probably already frying. I'll have to go back and appease. ”
As he spoke, Ao Tingxin propped up the table and slowly stood up.
......
Ao listened to his heart and left, but the monkey's heart was blocked in a panic.
I thought that I could sit back and relax with a gong and drum, but now it seems that it can't be done. And once this head is opened, it can be said that there are endless troubles.
Of course, what blocked the monkey the most was not these, but what Ao Tingxin said.
Back at Huaguo Mountain, the monkey immediately sent out all the people and horses that could be used, and regardless of whether it was useful or not, he scattered everywhere and began to investigate carefully. As for what to touch?
Well, the monkeys themselves don't know, and those who are sent out don't know, let alone those who are sent out.
But even so, can't you just sit in the camp? You have to get out, or the clues will fall from the sky?
In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.
For a month, the monkeys spent every day in anxiety. I hope for new espionage, but I am also afraid of new espionage.
If there is a spy report, it is possible to have clues, but if there is a spy report, it also means that there may be another attack. means loss.
In the space of a month, the merchant ships of the Dragon Palace were attacked twice, the properties under the name of the silver division were attacked three times, and even the industries controlled by the monkeys themselves, the new army, were attacked once. The total loss is estimated to be 10 million Silver Claws......
A thick stack of lists reporting losses was stacked on the desk, and the monkey's scalp was numb at the sight.
At this moment, he finally felt the despair of the Lion Camel King.
"Fuck it...... What a day it is. If this continues, we don't have to wait for a war, just by grabbing, we can grab ourselves and go out of business. Leaning back in his chair, the monkey sighed helplessly.
White Frost stood aside and watched quietly.
"What about other people's losses?"
"Other people's losses ......" Bai Shuang flipped through the notebook in his hand and said, "The Bull Demon King's side has been robbed three times, and the losses seem to be quite heavy." The Lion Camel King was also robbed once. The material loss was not much, but ...... There were no less casualties. It seems that there are more than a thousand fallen soldiers. The Peng Demon King was also attacked once. ”
"Show me. The monkey held out his hand.
Bai Shuang hurriedly handed over the notebook at hand.
Flipping over, the monkey's brow couldn't help frowning.
"What's wrong?" asked White Frost.
"The loss of the Peng Demon King was very small, and he was only attacked once. Moreover, at the beginning of the month. Later, there was no more loss. ”
"What's wrong?"
Putting down the notebook, the monkey's eyes rolled around and said, "You say, could they have discovered something like us before, and then, successfully avoided the loss?"
White Frost was excited, and quickly opened his eyes wide: "That...... Send someone to find out what they're doing?"
Throwing the notebook on the table, the monkey said softly, "No, I'll check it myself." ”
......
At this moment, the dragon mansion of the demon capital.
"In a month, in a month's time, only two teams of merchant ships were robbed! Counting the previous ones, four teams! Whose loss is this?"
"Doesn't the New Army have an explanation?"
"What can the Forces nouvelles say?"
"What about the Prime Minister of Tamu, the agreement we signed with the new army, but the Prime Minister of Tamu made a guarantee. ”
"The silver in the hands of the multi-eyed prime minister was robbed worse than us. ”
"In that case, what's the point of the agreement with the new army? It's better to compromise with the Bull Demon King at the beginning!"
"That's not the case, it's useless to compromise with the Bull Demon King, and now the withered leaves themselves are no better. ”
The Dragon King of the Four Seas, you are saying every word, and everyone is angry, and they are about to quarrel.
Ao Tingxin knelt quietly in front of the bronze mirror, bowed his head, and said nothing.
After a while, the spearhead finally pointed at Ao Tingxin.
"Who proposed the signing of the agreement with the Forces nouvelles?"
"Yes, me. As he spoke, Ao Tingxin bowed deeply.
"In that case, it's up to you to break the agreement. If the new army can't keep our dragon clan safe, it is a breach of contract. That being the case, it is reasonable for us to call for the agreement to be dissolved. Presumably, the multi-eyed prime minister will not have any complaints. ”
As soon as these words came out, all the dragon kings expressed their approval, and even the dragon king of the East China Sea, who had always protected his daughter, could only remain silent.
Ao Tingxin said loudly: "Please give the new army a little more time, at most two months, within two months, the new army will definitely be able to solve this problem." ”
"What if not?" asked the Dragon King of the Western Sea.
Gritting his teeth, Ao Tingxin continued: "If you can't...... and the heart shall not speak more. This matter is at the disposal of your uncles. ”
