Chapter 297: Opponents
It does look like a conspiracy.
At least, from the monkey's side.
During this period, the monkey asked Yanxi to get a lot of information from the multi-eyed monster, and all kinds of signs indicated that the heavenly army had not acted recently. In particular, there were no rewards and promotions, and no one asked for credit for it.
It is still possible to say that the Heavenly Army hid its whereabouts in order to paralyze the demon army. But there's no reason to make meritorious service but not ask for merit? The matter of sneaking up on the demon army, it's not that the Heavenly Army hasn't done it before, but all of them can be seen in the follow-up merit book.
However, not this time. There was no news.
It was as if a suspicious cloud was shrouded over the entire demon kingdom. All the demon kings invariably strengthened their garrisons and were suspicious of each other.
Although the monkey is in Huaguo Mountain, he still knows a lot about the situation in the demon capital. According to the information from the incisor division, the activities of the demon kings of all parties in the demon capital have increased significantly. Even the monkey, which is not open to the public, has been surrounded by meticulous figures from all sides.
Still, things happened one after the other.
After the demon kings of all sides strengthened their garrisons, the next thing that happened was the trading ship of the dragon clan.
Now, the dragon fryer is in the pan.
"My father and uncles want you to send troops to protect the dragon ships immediately. For the first time, Ao Tingxin made a request to the monkey with his hope through the autumn water.
Undoubtedly, this is a reasonable request, but the monkey may not be able to do it.
First of all, after the war, he has not recovered, and the troops at hand are not many, and the strength of the other side is completely unestimated, and even ...... I don't even know who it is.
It feels like a sense of déjà vu.
This couldn't help but remind the monkey of the previous incident when the Ryugu merchant ship was hijacked, but the attacker could not be found. The difference is that this time the other party did not loot the materials, but chose to burn them. This time, the other party directly took all the supplies away.
After that, everyone thought that the Bull Demon Army had done it, even if the Bull Demon Army denied it. But the monkey who probed the withered leaves at night knew very well that it had nothing to do with the Bull Demon Army.
Looking at Ao Tingxin's haggard face, the monkey was silent for a while, and then whispered to Wangzhuanqiushui: "Okay, I will send troops to protect the merchant ships." Also, do you still have quicksilver over there?"
"Yes. ”
"Put some in your cargo. ”
After a moment of silence, Ao Tingxin replied, "Got it." ”
Soldiers must be sent, if they are not sent, the monkey will be in breach of contract, and no matter how clever Ao Tingxin is, it will be impossible for him to get the support of the Dragon Palace. This is undoubtedly a draw from the bottom of the kettle for the new army, which has just experienced a big war. So, even if you tighten your belt, you have to send it.
But it's useless to send it.
There are too many merchant ships of the dragon clan, and the monkeys simply don't have the ability to put enough troops on every merchant ship, and those who can do such a thing will definitely not be able to solve these scattered demon soldiers.
The only hope is that after the accident, the monkey can quickly find the real opponent through the quicksilver, and then solve the matter once and for all.
Three days later, the dragon merchant ship was attacked again. It wasn't until two hours after the attack that the dragons noticed something was wrong. Ao Tingxin notified the monkey as soon as possible, and the monkey also arrived as soon as possible and began to track.
However, when Ao Tingxin arrived, the monkey was standing under a giant tree in the wilderness, blankly figuring out the three pieces of quicksilver in his hand.
"How?"
"I wondered, who could it be? They shouldn't have known that we had quicksilver in it, or they probably wouldn't have taken it with them at all. Now the situation is that they take it away and throw it away. This shows that they noticed it halfway. ”
Ao Tingxin listened quietly.
"I looked at their route and couldn't tell where it was going. Neither the spells, nor the methods of attack, seem to be known to any of the armies. After a moment of silence, the monkey blinked and said, "No trick, I don't know how to check at all." ”
The monkey looked at Ao Tingxin.
Ao Tingxin just stared blankly at the quicksilver in the monkey's hand and did not speak.
"How much is the loss?"
"About a million silver claws, not much. But this was the second time, and both my father and uncle were putting pressure on me. ”
The monkey pursed his lips: "Starting tomorrow, I will personally escort it." Let the hydra also help escort. ”
Hearing this, Ao Tingxin couldn't help but smile helplessly: "How much can you escort? Not to mention anything else, there are hundreds of merchant ships sailing at the same time in the realm of the Demon Kingdom. ”
"Maybe they were unlucky enough to have robbed the merchant ship we were escorting?" asked the monkey rhetorically.
Starting the next day, the monkey pulled on the nine-headed worm and really began to escort the dragon merchant ships. Taking advantage of the speed of the two, they could take care of ten caravans and fifty to a hundred merchant ships at the same time. Of course, I was tired enough.
In the blink of an eye, another half a month has passed.
During this period, the merchant ships of the dragon clan were robbed once in a marginal area that monkeys could not take care of, three times for Yinsi, once for the Bull Demon King, twice for the Lion Camel King, and once for the Peng Demon King. Each time, as before, looting, leaving no room to live.
Only the territory of the Jiao Demon King is still incredibly peaceful.
So, half a month later, Wangxi came to the monkey with a warrant from the multi-eyed monster.
"Senior brother's meaning, is to let you investigate the Jiao Demon King with me. ”
"Check him?"
"Don't you think it's strange that everyone in the entire demon country has been robbed, and only his Red Dragon Army has nothing to do?"
"If I do this, if I am the Jiao Demon King, I will definitely rob myself. Or in other words, how difficult do you think it is to fake a looting event?"
With that, the monkey handed the warrant back to Wangxi.
"You mean to say that the people who have been robbed are more suspicious now?"
"In short, the least suspicious person is definitely me. The dragons' merchant ships have been robbed, and my aid is about to be cut off, and this kind of thing can't be faked. ”
Wangxi's gaze slanted slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
"Why? Do you have to insist on checking the Jiao Demon King?" the monkey asked.
After thinking about it, Wangxi said softly, "I'll talk to Senior Brother again." ”
Wangxi is gone, but the monkey's headache has only just begun. He still had to travel back and forth between the many dragon merchant ships every day, and he was as tired as a dog. At the same time, the assistance given by the dragon clan is getting less and less day by day.
Although Ao Tingxin didn't say anything, the monkey could clearly feel how much pressure she was under.
I have to say that there are still too few fierce generals in the hands of monkeys. The only ones who can really get their hands on it are themselves and the hydra. If there are ten or eight generals who are at the peak of Taiyi Scattered Immortals, probably this matter will be solved.
Of course, other armies don't seem to be able to come up with it either. Otherwise, they would not have been attacked one after another. Although the territory they need to take care of is much larger than that of monkeys.
Just when the monkey was busy, the envoy of the Bull Demon King took the lead in attacking the Ten Thousand Demon Palace. asked for a thorough investigation of the matter, and the spearhead was pointed at the Jiao Demon King.
Although the elders of the Ten Thousand Demon Hall who said the monkey had also put it forward, especially the elders of the Scale Clan who stood on the side of the Jiao Demon King, it was obvious that the Bull Demon King didn't care about this statement. After all, there is no such thing, the Bull Demon King and the Jiao Demon King are mortal enemies, even if it is not the Jiao Demon King, he does not mind using this matter to suppress the Jiao Demon King.
As for the other two demon kings, the Peng Demon King and the Lion Camel King themselves are both victims, and they can be investigated thoroughly if they are not the first to come out, of course, they are happy to see it.
So, in the vote, even though the monkey's side did not support it, the order to investigate the matter thoroughly from the Jiao Demon King's side was still issued, and the person who handled it was still hopeful, but this time it was in the name of the Elders of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, and at the same time, there was no need for the monkey's assistance.
For a time, the limelight of this matter even overshadowed the impeachment storm against the monkeys. It can be regarded as a relief for the monkeys.
For this reason, the monkey tentatively wrote a letter and asked Blacktail to take him to the Jiao's nest and hand it over to the Jiao Demon King himself. showed that he supported him in the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, but he was weak and powerless.
It is said that when he got the monkey's letter and looked at it twice, the Jiao Demon King just smiled and said: "I don't do anything bad in my life, and I don't feel shocked when I knock on the door in the middle of the night." With that, he burned the monkey's letter.
A few days later, the nine-headed insect hurried up to the monkey and said with a panicked expression, "I seem to be ...... I know who my opponent is. ”
"What do you mean? If you know, you know, if you don't know, you don't know. ”
"I seem to see it, but I don't really see it. It's gone in a blink of an eye. ”
"Who?" the monkey's eyes narrowed into slits.
The hydra hesitated and said, "Nightmare." ”
"Macaque King?" the monkey was taken aback.
