Chapter 163: Showdown
The first time he came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the monkey was sent directly to the study of the multi-eyed monster. That's where the Big-Eyed Monster goes about his day-to-day business.
The second time I came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the monkey still went directly to the study.
And the third time, too.
However, for the fourth time, the monkey was placed in the main hall.
This is...... Are you ready to face yourself?
Possibly.
Spacious space, black walls, simple and rugged sculptures, simple furnishings......
It should be said that this is the main style of the demon capital. I heard that Dijun likes black, so almost all the exterior of the building, no matter what strange shape it is built, adopts this decorative style. And even the interior adopts this style, so the appearance is the same......
To be honest, the monkey has been here for so long, and I've only seen this place. Even the Moyu Imperial City, its interior, is not pure in this style.
I have to say that the pure black interior is still somewhat depressing.
The monkey was arranged to sit at a low table, and a man sat on his knees. After kneeling for a long time, his active personality surfaced, and he began to shake his feet, scratch his ears and cheeks, and look around.
In the huge hall, he was the only one, the guards and attendants, all of whom had already withdrawn from the door. Even the figure of the Zerg that can be seen everywhere in the Prime Minister's Mansion is not visible here.
After looking around, the monkey simply stood up and paced back and forth to see if there was anything unusual.
Soon, he found that the entire hall was almost "empty". Even the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone placed on the table are ordinary things. I folded a stack of folds, and when I opened them, they were all empty.
But thinking about it, it's no wonder that these guards are so relieved that they actually left themselves here alone. If there are one or two important bamboo slips on the table, you have to leave ten or eight guards in the main hall, right?
Bored, the monkey finally ran to the corner of the wall and studied the totems on the wall.
Among the totems is a huge, nameless beast, surrounded by countless demon soldiers the size of its claws. On the other side of the beast is a giant bull crawling on the ground.
"What is this talking about?" crossed his hands, and the monkey's brow furrowed.
"This is about His Majesty's subduing of the Bull Demon King, which happened 9,700 years ago. ”
Suddenly, a voice rang out.
The monkey jerked back and saw the Cyclops Monster in a black robe, standing at the entrance of the side door, looking at him from afar.
Seeing this, the monkey hurriedly straightened his face, bowed down and said, "The last general will see the Prime Minister!"
"Sit down. With a faint word, the multi-eyed monster walked straight to his place, shook his long sleeves, and sat down.
The monkey raised an eyebrow and walked over as well.
"I recognize the Bull Demon King, but ...... Speaking of the mural of His Majesty's subduing of the Bull Demon King, can you not paint Your Majesty?"
The Monster raised his eyes to look at the monkey, but instead said, "Tell me about your recent affairs." ”
"What's the latest thing? What does the prime minister mean ......?"
"That's what you've been doing lately. ”
"I ...... I didn't do anything. ”
"Really?"
The monkey scratched his head in embarrassment.
The multi-eyed monster suddenly laughed, looked at the monkey and said, "No? However, you have to understand one thing, this is the demon capital. Anything you do, no matter how hidden it is, the old man will definitely catch the clues. What do you say?"
"What does the prime minister want to say?" the monkey smiled awkwardly.
"The old man wants to say, you are very smart, but don't use your cleverness in useless places. Yanxi told the old man about the things in the camp, some minor problems, the old man didn't want to care, but if you dare to touch the taboo......"
"How?" asked the monkey cautiously.
"I heard you have a lot of deer demons under your command?"
The monkey nodded dumbfounded.
The multi-eyed monster smiled slightly, the smile was calm, but with a chilling taste.
The monkey's eyes widened slightly, swallowed dryly, and looked cautiously at the multi-eyed monster.
For a while, the atmosphere was a little stiff. The whole hall was silent.
After a long time, the monkey whispered: "Prime Minister is here, what do you want to do?"
At this moment, a maid walked in from outside the door, and did not speak, but silently bowed, and brought two cups of hot tea to the monkey and the multi-eyed monster respectively, and quietly withdrew from the door.
Holding the hot tea, the multi-eyed monster sighed softly and said, "For the time being, don't do anything." ”
"And what about after that?"
"Later, it depends on the situation. If it is a friend, the old man will definitely support him and treat him with courtesy. If it's an enemy...... That, of course, is another story. ”
"How can I become a friend of the Prime Minister, and how about it...... Will you become the enemy of the Prime Minister again?"
"Those who are loyal to the demon capital and the demon country are the friends of the old man. Those who endanger the demon clan for their own selfish interests are the enemies of the old man. It's been tens of thousands of years, and the blood on the old man's hands is enough. I don't mind getting some more contaminated. ”
As he spoke, the multi-eyed monster took a sip of tea.
"Drink it, good tea, it's a pity if it's cold. ”
The monkey picked up the teacup and took a sip, his eyes flickering.
"Do you want to be a friend or an enemy of the old man?"
"Of course...... Be friends. ”
"If you want to be friends. Taking a deep breath, the multi-eyed monster said softly: "Since you are so confident that you want to handle it yourself, the old man will not interfere much in the affairs of the army." Coming to you is just a face-to-face statement. As for things, it's best to discuss it with Yanxi more, after all, in terms of experience, she is still richer than you. As for the rest...... I hope you can grasp the proportions, you are so smart, you must know what you can do and what you can't do. ”
At the end of the words, Duomu Wei continued: "If you have any difficulties, as long as it is reasonable, you can come to the old man." ”
"What about borrowing money?"
"Then don't. The military expenses that have been given to you are sufficient. If you want to be extravagant, you should find a way to get money yourself, instead of borrowing from the old man. Also, the 200,000 silver claws have to be returned. The old man's fortune is not much. ”
......
On the way back, the monkey was visibly silent, leaning on the carriage and looking out of the window boredly.
"Why did he ask you to come here?" asked Qijiao, who was also in the carriage.
"Accounts. ”
"I came here to ask for an account?"
"Whatever, anyway, the money is spent, can he still tear me up? As he spoke, the monkey grinned and said, "Will you go back?"
"The brothers mean to go around, but we don't even have armor yet, wouldn't it be appropriate to just walk around? ”
"It's fine. The monkey waved his hand and said, "It's too tiring to think what others like to think, and to be a soldier and care what others think." ”
"Then let's go around. ”
With the U-turn of the "carriage", the group began to wander around the dungeon of the demon capital, swaggering through the city. Everywhere they went, there was a constant stream of admiration, echoed by the pointing and pointing of the dungeon's inhabitants.
Not to mention anything else, the dungeon dwellers who are serious are really few dressed like they are.
But what does it matter?
If you are said twice, you won't lose a piece of meat, praise a few words, and you won't eat more bowls of rice. The monkey didn't hear it at all.
Wandering, they visited most of the demon capital. From the central Blood Lake City District, which is full of various sound and color places, to the surrounding ordinary residential areas, and then to the Beicheng District, which is full of various demon clan merchants, elders, and adults, they have all wandered all over again.
Seeing that his brothers were all smiling, the monkey was very relieved and grinned vigorously, so, regardless of the eyes of the pedestrians around him, he stood on the roof of the carriage and began to draw cakes on the spot.
"Do a good job, as long as you are willing to fight, I promise you that it will not be long before you can all move in. Just like them!"
"Can each of us?"
"Of course. Don't you know what our troops are used for? Guarding the demon capital, you know? The troops guarding the demon capital can't live in it themselves, what's the matter?"
"That's it, it's true. The subordinates smiled one by one.
Just as the monkey was grinning and about to get off the roof of the carriage, suddenly, something hit him and he grabbed it in the palm of his hand.
Suddenly he turned around, only to see a dark figure disappearing around the corner.
Looking down slightly, he saw that what was held in the palm of his hand was a small paper ball.
Taking advantage of the inattention of the people around him, the monkey quietly put the paper ball in his pocket.
