Chapter 166: Appointment
In the demon capital, the demon kings are responsible for commanding troops, fighting, and fighting against the heavenly court. The civil service system under the leadership of the multi-eyed monster is responsible for all other matters. This is actually a system of checks and balances. Only when the demon kings stabilize their position in the confrontation with the heavenly court can they have the so-called peaceful and prosperous times and prosperity of the demon capital. Only when the demon capital is peaceful and prosperous can there be a continuous supply of military spending and materials to the army.
This was originally a dependency relationship, but the fact was that the demon kings used their troops to deter the civil service system, and the civil service system was stuck with the demon kings' money. As a result, the two sides became a situation of fighting without breaking. This was still under the reign of Di Jun.
If Di Jun is gone, the demon kings may wield their troops at any time. This is the case with King Yu Shi before.
Now that Di Jun is back, the multi-eyed monster is rushing the demon kings every now and then.
To put it bluntly, the relationship between the two has long been in a vicious cycle. Distrust each other is a dead end between each other.
As the commander of a new army, monkeys do not need to deal with the demon king in most cases. Except for one...that is the macaque king.
Because the Macaque King is in charge of the military supplies department of the Demon Capital. Most of the military supplies in the entire Demon Kingdom, including armor, shipbuilding, etc., have to go through the hands of the Macaque King. Although some Demon Kings think that the Macaque King’s things are expensive, they will set up some workshops and make some simple things by themselves. But, isn’t there any Monkey?
In other words, almost all the military supplies of monkeys can only be requested by the Macaque King, and they must be paid.
The monkey had never sat in this position before, and there was no monster under his command who was familiar with this process. So he spent all the money that should have been used to buy weapons and equipment...
"Let me see him, that is, this matter can actually be opened up?"
"That's what it means."
"But why did he help me? The situation is not very clear now. I am the commander of the New Army, so he has no reason to help me. And he took the initiative to ask."
"Does it mean to sow discord? If you often go in and out of the Macaque Prince's Mansion, it's hard for Prime Minister Duomei to doubt it."
"It's possible." The monkey nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll report it first?"
"Will she agree?" Qijiao asked.
"It's just that if you agree or not." The monkey nodded and said, "Don't agree, she can help us get the money."
Although standing in the center of the vortex is dangerous, it is also fun, so you can play a rogue. What you want is the pleasure of your heartbeat...
As he said that, the monkey turned his head and explained to Qijiao: "Hurry up, you have to build a house before to make money. Now we have to do this, and find out if there are other ways to make money, otherwise we can't hold on."
"Okay, let's act separately."
After making up his mind, the monkey took action immediately.
First, the monkey walked timidly to Yanxi's attic. As expected, Yanxi stood in the attic, leaning against the fence and looking at the entire camp.
When Yanxi saw the monkey coming, she seemed a little stunned.
This is the first time that Monkey has been looking for her after so many days. Could it be that the senior brother’s conversation has worked?
Looking up, the monkey shouted at the top of his throat: "I'm looking for you for something."
"What's up?"
The monkey licked his lips and said with a smile: "It's... about money."
As soon as he heard the word "money", Yanxi's face immediately collapsed and she shouted coldly: "No!"
"No... I can just figure out a way for myself?"
"Let me figure out a way." As soon as he finished speaking, Yanxi turned around and walked into the house, ignoring the monkey.
"What's this?" Niu Tou asked.
"What's wrong? Didn't you hear her asking me to find a way?"
"Is this a negotiation?"
"Of course." The monkey nodded with certainty.
The cow's head couldn't help swallowing.
After the matter was finalized, Niu Tou immediately went to the Military Control Commission and received the reply: "The Macaque King is watching the show."
"Watching the show? Then when will he finish watching the show?"
"No, he means, let you go there and find him. He invites you to watch the show."
"Please see me?"
"Do you go?"
"All our weapons and armor are equipped, how many silver claws are needed?"
"Even if you choose the cheapest one, you will have to at least 150,000."
Upon hearing this, the monkey couldn't help but be stunned: "So expensive?"
"Of course, there are three thousand sets. A set of fifty silver claws cannot be cheaper. If matched, you will get at least three million silver claws..."
"That's not that I spent all the money. Even if I didn't spend it all, I only had 150,000 silver claws allocated to me in the past few months."
"It usually seems that they are gradually replaced by batches, and it is rare to have all the entire army in one go."
"Is this true?" After thinking about it, the monkey said, "But since that's the case, I should go even more. Even if I don't ask for credit, at least I will talk about the price. It's so expensive, but I really give him all my pants and I still have a terrible salary."
After boarding the "carriage", the monkey set off with the cow's head.
Unlike yesterday when he went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, this time, Monkey chose the light car and Jiancong. After all, there was nothing to be said about the things that Duomini knew about, and there was nothing to be said about.
Sitting in the carriage, Niu Tou asked the monkey: "What do you think the Macaque King wants to do?"
"I want to pay? Probably not. I'm probably trying to find out. Anyway, I won't lose fast meat after I go there, and I still owe them 100,000 silver claws. Although I don't plan to pay it back."
Not long after he arrived at the demon, the monkey had already owed a lot of debts. The monkey king had 100,000 silver claws, and the multi-eyed monsters had 200,000. Uh... Ao Tingxin still had 200,000 yuan, which was the money that Ao Tingxin redeemed him from Huapan's hands. There was also the money from that land, and I didn't know how much it was, so I didn't have time to ask.
Monkeys can pretend to be deaf and dumb for other money, but if Ao Tingxin can, the monkey really doesn't want to owe money. However... I really can't pay it back now, so I can only take one step at a time.
Swaying around, the car soon arrived at its destination.
Crowded crowds, bustling streets, and almost ubiquitous Zergs are flying back and forth in the sky.
This is a place located on the shore of the lava lake below the demon's nest. When the monkey got off the bus, the monkey saw it on the front. It was a huge, huge building that occupied almost half a street, in a round shape, with huge spikes standing up, like a huge open mouth.
Before the monkey could look at the building in front of him, the white-clothed boy under the Macaque King had emerged from somewhere and said respectfully: "The general has just come. My master has been waiting for a long time. Please do this."
As he said that, he made a "please" gesture, shook his sleeves, and walked straight into the building.
The monkey raised his eyebrows and followed with the cow's head.
I have to say that this place is different from anywhere the monkey has been to the demon before. It is a completely sensual place.
Countless monsters walked by, some were gorgeously dressed, some were wearing armor, and some were as simple as a Taoist priest, but there were no one wearing shabby clothes like a monkey.
If it weren't for the boy in white, the monkey and the cow head would have been blocked outside the door. In fact, the servant in the door really wanted to stop him, but after seeing the boy in white, he hurriedly retreated.
As soon as you get started, you will see a huge space.
In the arc-shaped hall, the huge stage, several actors with strange costumes were singing on the stage, humming and haha, singing something, which caused a burst of applause from time to time.
There were banquets everywhere, almost every position was filled with monsters, and some were even standing, applauding and cheering from time to time. Almost no one noticed the arrival of monkeys and cow heads.
"Well... it's better if no one pays attention. It's best that it won't be heard in the prime minister's ears. I won't be able to explain it." The monkey murmured in a low voice.
Under the leadership of the boy in white, the monkey and cow head stepped on the ring stairs on the side.
Just as he looked up, the monkey suddenly discovered that the top of the building was hollowed out, and he could directly see the demon nest hanging high above the dungeon.
But... in the dungeon, does it have a roof? What's the point? It won't be windy or rainy.
Thinking about it, the monkey felt relieved.
The seats on the second floor are obviously much higher-end than those on the first floor. Each space is separated by apart. On one side, it faces the corridor and on the other side, it is open and facing the stage. As for who is sitting in the separated space, you can probably see clearly only when standing on the stage.
Soon, the boy in white stopped in front of one of the doors and reached out to knock: "Report to Master, Sun Pian is about to arrive."
"Come in." The macaque king's correct tone came from inside.
Turning his face to nodded to the monkey, the boy in white reached out and pushed open the door.
In an instant, the smile on the monkey's face froze. Because he saw that in the room, there was another person sitting - Yun Xi.
