Prime Minister's Office.

In the main hall, monkeys and multi-eyed monsters sit opposite each other.

The dim red light shone on the multi-eyed face, and the wrinkles on the face were one by one, as if they would open their mouths to curse at any moment.

The monkey still looks like a hippie smile, scratching his ears and cheeks, keeping his head down, and looking up from time to time to look at the strange ones.

With a "bang", the multi-eyed monster slapped his palm on the table and scolded angrily: "Who made you do this?"

"Yes...... Myself. ”

"What is your relationship with the Fourth Princess of the Dragon?"

"Didn't you tell the Prime Minister last time......? I've seen her in the country of lions and camels, and she's helped me. ”

"So that's how you help her?"

"Is there something wrong?" the monkey said in a heartfelt voice, "She helped me, and I found an opportunity to repay the favor, isn't it normal?

"You!" pointed at the monkey, and the multi-eyed monster gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know your current identity? Do you think you are still a monkey in the mountains? You are the commander of the new army! Go to the dragon princess to repay your kindness?"

"Isn't that okay?" asked the monkey, frowning.

At this question, the multi-eyed monster almost didn't catch his breath, and his eyes were about to bulge out.

"You...... Do you know what the results of doing this will be? No matter what the dragon clan says, it is also a third force, and it is not under the jurisdiction of my demon country. You are the commander of a new army, but you are leading your troops to intervene in the dispute between the dragon clan and our demon king. This kind of thing, do you dare to ask the old man in turn? What do you want people outside to say about you? Do you say that you are colluding with the dragon clan?

The monkey cautiously said, "Collusion...... Can't talk about it, can you?"

"Why can't you talk about it? What is the atmosphere in the Ten Thousand Demon Hall now, don't you know? Everyone is a soldier. The old man supports you so much, but you run to support the dragon clan? Do you want to drag the old man into the water together?"

"But...... Aren't we going to bring down the Demon King? Anyway, the relationship is already bad, and we're not afraid of tearing our faces, aren't we?"

"These are two different things! Two different things!" the multi-eyed monster shouted loudly: "How to bring down the demon king, the old man has his own opinions." You just need to do what the old man tells you to do. Besides, in the current situation, your new army is hibernating, and it is too late to plot development. Do you have the ability to confront any demon king? If you have, that's it, if not, you're looking for death!"

"From now on, you are not allowed to do anything on your own! If you let the old man feel that you, as the commander, are a threat to the existence of the new army, then, without waiting for the demon king to make a move, the old man will find a way to remove you from the position of commander! Do you think you are sure that you can deal with the entire demon kingdom, including the old man, on your own? Enemies or allies, you can only choose one, and you must choose the same. If it's an ally, you have to listen to the old man!

The last three words, the multi-eyed monster almost gritted his teeth and spit it out. His eyes widened and he glared at the monkey.

The monkey's brow furrowed. After a while, he replied softly, "Understood." ”

Hearing these two words, the multi-eyed monster slowed down slightly, and seemed to be deflated a lot.

However, immediately after, the monkey said again: "However, this matter has been done, and it is not appropriate to just make a name and have no benefits, right?"

Duomu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said, "You, what do you mean?"

"The last general means that it has to be a little good. This thing is to repay the favor on the one hand, and to make money on the other. Isn't the last general short of money lately? ”

"You, do you only have money in your eyes? Didn't you just recently increase your military spending?"

"But that's not enough. The monkey smiled and said, "A million silver paws a month." ”

"How much?" The multi-eyed monster, which was about to reprimand the monkey severely, was visibly stunned for a moment.

Seizing the opportunity, the monkey hurriedly added: "One million a month, this is only a part of the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea." All combined, there should be three million a month. Not only that, but the soldiers sent out also included food and lodging. Three million silver paws are pure earnings. In one year, that's 36 million silver claws. I've done the math, and the dragons have to help us raise 30,000 troops for free. ”

The multi-eyed monster visibly hesitated, and his gaze began to flicker.

Thirty-six million silver claws a year, this amount is indeed not much from the perspective of him as a great prime minister of the demon capital. However, if you look at the size of the new army, it is an astronomical number.

The most important thing is that this money is not spent through the Ten Thousand Demon Palace. A few demon kings didn't have a chance to raise any objections.

How good is the "private soldier" thing, the last time, the multi-eyed monster was personally experienced.

Facts have proved that everything has a "price". I can't buy it, it's just that the "price" is not high enough.

Let the multi-eyed monster get the reputation of the dragon protector for no reason, and the multi-eyed monster is definitely unwilling. But if it's that extra money......

For a long time, the multi-eyed monster asked in a low voice, "Are you sure there are so many?"

"Prime Minister don't believe it?" Approaching the multi-eyed monster, the monkey carefully calculated, and said, "Don't you know, the Bull Demon King attacked the dragon merchant ship some time ago, detained people, and blackmailed the dragon clan. Not to mention the ransom money of those crew members, just the monthly road purchase money costs six million silver claws. That's twice as much as three million silver claws. ”

"If you want to say that the dragon clan has this money, it must be. You can afford it, too. But they can't afford that price. First, the Bull Demon King forced them to comply in this way, and there was no basis for trust in itself. What if the Silver Claw Bull Demon King still thinks it's not enough to take six million? When the time comes, ten million, fifteen million, isn't it just a casual drive? Then the dragon clan may not be able to afford it. ”

"Second, if the dragon clan agrees to the Bull Demon King, there will be no impermeable wall in the world, and this matter will be known sooner or later. When the time comes, what about the Peng Demon King? Then the Jiao Demon King and the Lion Camel King? Why do the Dragon Clan pay tribute to the Bull Demon King every month, but they don't? Who can swallow this breath? With such a toss, the Dragon Clan will become fat meat to be slaughtered, and anyone can go up and take a bite. ”

"In such a comparison, Prime Minister, do you still think that the dragon clan will give more than three million to the last general every month?"

"Besides, giving money to the last general is a different situation entirely. First of all, the last general has no old grudges with the dragon clan, and in terms of strength, he is far less strong than the Bull Demon King, so don't worry about being swallowed by me. Besides, the last general also sent troops to help them work, and he could solve all their problems in one go. ”

After some analysis, the multi-eyed monster was obviously moved.

"Three million silver claws a month...... The monthly military expenditure of the Lion Camel Country is only 10 million silver claws. Got a third of it at once?"

"Yes, a third. The monkey whispered.

"But the income of the dragon clan in the past few years doesn't seem to be very rich. Can they afford that?"

"This requires the Prime Minister, you to loosen their ties......" After thinking about it, the monkey added in a low voice: "Prime Minister, we won't do this thing, but the Bull Demon King will do it." In this way, the money will go to his pocket and become the military expenses of the withered leaves. ”

Holding his long beard, he was silent for a long time, and then the multi-eyed monster said slowly: "You go back first, the old man has to think about this matter carefully." ”

"The ...... commission from the dragon clan"

"You do it first. ”

"No. ”

......

As he left the Prime Minister's Mansion, the monkey let out a long breath.

Things should be counted ...... Solved, right?

No, not yet, it's not that much.

When I talked to the multi-eyed monster myself, I raised the price a little bit. Million. In fact, the exact number should be two million. This is the limit of what the dragons can accept at this stage.

However, if the multi-eyed monsters are willing to loosen the trade of the dragons a little, three million should be no problem.

Of course, even if there are no three million in the end, the monkey is completely sure to fool the past. At most, it is said that the business of the dragon clan is not good, and there are not so many goods to be shipped.

When he got into the car, the monkey was still smiling, but Yanxi, who was sitting opposite, had an indifferent face.

"Finished talking?"

"That's it. ”

"Senior brother didn't scold you?"

"Scolded, first scolded, and then praised me again. ”

"Praise you?" Yanxi heard in a fog.

In the dim red dungeon, the cars walked bonelessly.

......

At this moment, the crab will be red tongs, and he will confess everything to Ao Tingxin.

"So, you're deliberately hiding it from me?"

"It's not a lie, it's a ...... Four princesses. I don't want this thing to happen, in addition to the withered leaves, I'm afraid that we will have it internally. In case ......"

The pincer didn't finish his sentence.

However, Ao Tingxin can also understand.

"Okay, I won't blame you for this incident. Pick a time to invite him to the house for me and invite him to dinner. ”

"No. ”
