"Master, those ruffians just stole a lot of things. ”

"What did they steal?"

"Also...... It's nothing, it's just an ordinary object. Do you want to send someone to recover it?"

Can you catch it back?

This is obviously a trick to muddy the waters.

The macaque king's fists tightened and tightened, and for a while, even his breathing trembled slightly.

Undecided.

......

In the messy camp, Yanxi grabbed a person: "Where is the general?"

The demon soldier shook his head and said, "I don't know. ”

"What is this monkey trying to do? The camp is in such a mess, he doesn't know where to run......"

Yanxi went out to run errands for a few hours, and there was such a big incident in the camp, and when she came back, she heard that she had a conflict with her senior sister. I wanted to find out more, but I couldn't find it.

......

At this moment, the group of demon soldiers and demon generals under the monkey are on their way back to the camp, and he himself has already appeared in the dragon clan's mansion with the nine-headed worm.

"Help me look at these things. ”

A large pile of objects stolen from the Macaque King's Mansion were piled up in front of Ao Tingxin, including the live fish.

"These are ......"

"You're well-informed, help us identify it. ”

Bowing down, Ao Tingxin picked them up one by one and checked them through the candlelight.

On the other side, the red tongs, the monkeys, and the hydra all watched cautiously.

Because there were too many things, it took a while for Ao Tingxin to read them all and said, "It's just ordinary things, what's wrong?"

"Normal? These things shouldn't be cheap, right?"

"It's not cheap, but it's not expensive either. ”

"Not expensive?

"That said, it's a luxury, but it's not too expensive. ”

Hey, that's not the same as the macaque king himself said.

The monkey grinned, "Tell me more about it." ”

Bowing down, Ao Tingxin picked up a night pearl, pinched it gently, only to hear a "click", and the night pearl immediately split into two petals. Inside, it was hollow.

"This is not a night pearl, but a 'bright star pearl' refined from an ore from Xiniuhezhou. From the outside, it is exactly the same as the Night Pearl, but once you hold it in your hand, those who are familiar with the Night Pearl will find that there is a slight difference in the weight of the two. It can also be used for lighting, and the price is much cheaper than that of the night pearl. However, generally speaking, people who can afford to use the Night Pearl will not care, and those who can't afford it will not consider it at all. We at Ryugu once thought about developing it as a key item, but the demand was too small, and we had to give up in the end. ”

"This is a snooky fish. Fish bones can be alchemized, fish scales can be smelted, and fish meat has the effect of prolonging life. About 4,000 years ago, this fish grew in Dongsheng Shenzhou and was an important trade material. However, due to its scarcity and the fact that it takes almost a millennium to grow due to overfishing, the fish is now extremely rare. The price is extremely expensive, and no one uses it for alchemy, smelting, or even food anymore. It is only by chance that you can see the golden smoked fish used for ornamentation in the hands of some big merchants. Among the golden-smoked fish, this golden-backed golden-backed golden-smoked fish is the rarest. Often the price can be more than 100 times that of ordinary golden-smoked fish, that is, the price is more than 100,000 silver claws, which is not an exaggeration. But ......"

"This one has a white line on the belly, but it is just a side species of goldenrod that grows in Beiju Luzhou. It looks similar in appearance, but because it is naturally poisonous, few people know about this fish. The price is also much lower. Those who understand will not want it, and those who do not understand it are even less likely to spend money to buy it. Of course, it still takes some effort to get the fish from Beiju Luzhou. There are only more than 100 silver claws. ”

"On the surface, this is a pendant carved from a spiritual stone. Lingxu Stone, produced in the underworld, can be used to communicate yin and yang. Due to the scarcity of quantities and the fact that both fairies and demons have prohibitions on setting foot in the underworld, the price is extremely high. There are probably no more than ten pieces that can be found in this mortal world. But ......"

Another "but", the monkey raised an eyebrow, and listened.

"However, this piece is not an authentic spiritual void stone. To be precise, this piece has nothing to do with the Spirit Void Stone. It's just an obsidian that is common in the mortal world. But because someone hid a magic circle on it, it changed both its luster and hardness. It just looks like a spirit stone. ”

Putting down the so-called "Spiritual Void Stone", Ao Tingxin finally added: "To put it simply, almost every object here has a similar treasure of heaven and earth, but in fact it is not. Put it in the demon capital, if you don't look closely, probably the vast majority of businessmen can't tell it. ”

For a moment, the hydra and the monkey looked at the pile of things in front of them, and they were all thoughtful.

Originally, I went to search for things in the macaque king's mansion, but it was just because the monkeys really couldn't find any useful clues. I thought about fishing for something, and through these, I might be able to find something. Outcome......

"Where did these things come from?" asked Ao Tingxin.

At this question, both the hydra and the monkey couldn't help laughing.

"At first, I thought your strategy was a bit mysterious, after all, it would offend the Macaque King. Now, however, it seems to be useful. ”

"Macaque King?" Hearing the hydra say this, Ao Tingxin's eyes widened.

"Yes, they were all brought back from the Macaque King's Mansion. ”

These things were all collected from the macaque king's house, that is to say, the macaque king's so-called extravagant life was simply piled up with a bunch of fakes?

The image of an extravagant demon king, who is he trying to deceive? What is he trying to hide?

If you don't fight, is it really just a fight and you don't fight?

The answer is already on the horizon.

Taking a deep breath, the monkey said softly, "Pretending to be extravagant is to keep people from suspecting the whereabouts of his funds." After all, it is relatively difficult to investigate funds. The best thing to do is to make people not doubt him from the beginning. ”

Ao Tingxin answered: "So, he must have transferred most of the money somewhere." He has a place to really spend money, and the expenses are still very large, so big that the military salary allocated to him by the Ten Thousand Demon Palace cannot be filled at all. Otherwise, there would be no need for him to meddle in the munitions. ”

"Can't he just hide the money?" asked the hydra.

"No way. Ao Tingxin shook his head and said, "How many years have this been." The military salary allocated to him by the Ten Thousand Demon Palace is not too much, but it is not much less. If they were all hidden, there would not be enough silver claws on the market. So, all this money must have been somewhere, spent. Otherwise, from the bank's point of view, the anomaly will definitely be found. ”

"It's all spent...... So where is it spent? Where does it cost so much money?"

There is only one answer.

"Raise the army. Without thinking, the monkey replied, "It can only be to raise an army." Others, whether it is an elixir or an exercise, will not require so much money. There is only one answer, and that is to raise an army. Without anyone noticing, he raised an army. ”
