Chapter One Hundred and Seventy Nine: The Battle of the Ox

The soldiers were still practicing, and Yanxi had already arrived at the attic that was temporarily prepared for the monkey and piled up a thick stack of books on the monkey's table.

"This is the account of all the expenses in the camp over the past year and warehouse inventory. Please check the adults."

The monkey reached out his hand, gently turned the page, glanced at it, and closed it again.

"I know. Baishuang."

"At." Bai Shuang, who was standing beside him, stepped forward.

"Put it all away."

"promise."

Holding the plate full of books, Bai Shuang quietly retreated aside.

"This camp can accommodate a total of 15,000 soldiers. If the generals don't mind, the senior brother hopes that the generals can move the troops from Huaguoshan over. It will also strengthen the reputation of the new army."

"If you station troops in the Demon Capital, the expenses will be quite high."

Yanxi winked at the dragonfly spirit beside her, and immediately, a red tray with two scrolls of scrolls was sent to the monkey.

"This was what my senior brother, Yanxi, gave to the side general last night."

"oh?"

The monkey stretched out two fingers and pulled a corner to take a look.

Yan Xi said expressionlessly: "This is the mining power of the two mineral veins. The locations are 1,300 miles north of the demon capital and 910 miles west of the demon capital. The general can send someone to take over at any time. However, it is no longer absolutely safe to leave the demon capital. There is no way to know the detailed work of the Heavenly Court. Therefore, the general must send at least 3,000 troops to garrison."

The monkey thought for a while and said, "The demon capital has garrisoned 15,000 troops, and each of the two mines is 3,000. I still have to garrison troops in Huaguo Mountain. Where can I get so many troops?"

"You can recruit you." Yanxi said with a smile: "Are there still many refugees in Huaguo Mountain? It's just right to use it. If the military expenditure is not enough, the Yinsi can first allocate 4 million military pay to advance, and then deduct it from the military expenditure."

When the monkey heard the four million military pay, he didn't say anything, but he couldn't help but breathe in his heart.

Four million...

Even now, the Monkey's monthly income in the mine is only 600,000 silver claws. Although it is much better than before, it has more mouths, and every minute has to be knocked on the abacus.

As soon as the Duo-Eye Monster opened his mouth, he paid 4 million. I have to say that the national treasury of the Daodu is really like the Duo-Eye Monster's private treasury.

This is probably the benefit of standing on the same front as the Prime Minister.

If Huaguo Mountain is a small pond, then the demon city is just the sea. There are many fish, crabs, and there are many winds and rains. In such places, they either turn into dragons or are eaten by big fish. It seems that the monkey can no longer decide how to walk on the road.

After hesitating for a moment, the monkey nodded after all: "Okay, I'll arrange this matter."

"Also, the news of you coming to the Yaodu yesterday has spread all over the place. So in the afternoon, you need to go to the palace to take a walk."

"OK."

After noon, Yanxi had already prepared the car for the monkey.

Put on the trait armor that had been prepared, the monkey got into the car and set off towards the demon nest in a mighty way. Wherever he passed, countless residents of the demon capital stopped and watched.

Among the demon capital, there are many people with higher status than monkeys, but those who can dispatch regular troops as escorts can count them with one hand.

Putting down the curtains and moving his eyes back into the carriage, the monkey whispered: "I'll be in the palace later. Don't you have to tell me about this matter in detail?"

"You don't need to worry about it. It's just a trivial matter. But the Demon King Peng chased him. After all, we were digging them too much before, so we wanted to take the opportunity to go back."

"A million silver claws a month, but only one thousand military forces are supported, which is indeed a little more."

“Isn’t it more than now?”

In the faint bumps, the car walked slowly.

After a little silence, Yanxi reminded: "Now, in addition to King Yu Shi who was locked in prison, there are five demon kings in the Demon Kingdom. Among them, the oldest one is Demon Peng. He acts cautiously on weekdays and looks harmless, but in fact, he is the one that needs to be guarded against among all Demon Kings. According to the information we have obtained, his military strength is also the strongest among all Demon Kings."

"Don't you even know the specific military strength of the Demon King?"

"Is it strange?" Yanxi raised her eyelids, glanced at the monkey, and said, "It's not just the generals who raise private soldiers. Every demon king has private soldiers. But the proportion of their private soldiers is not as large as yours."

"oh?"

"Every demon king's territory is a country in the middle of the country, with its own industry, and naturally, there are many benefits that we don't know. It has always been a key information direction for us to understand the strength of the demon king. The pressure on the dragon clan some time ago was also for this."

At this point, Yanxi seemed to suddenly realize something and looked at the monkey carefully.

"What's wrong?" asked the monkey.

"No, I remember that the general still has some friendship with the fourth princess of the Dragon Clan."

"It's a friendship, so what?"

Taking a deep breath, Yanxi continued, "Since my senior brother has said that he should try his best to cooperate with the general, then there are some things that the general will not hide from you. After all, the Dragon Clan, after all, is just a small force in the three realms that is outside the Heavenly Court and the Demon Kingdom. If you do well, the Dragon King of the East China Sea will have to salute you in the future. I hope you can tell the difference."

"Don't worry, I understand. Let's continue." The monkey nodded and raised his hands.

"Okay, then I'll continue." After coughing twice, Yanxi continued: "Now, there are four demon kings who control military power. According to our calculations, the strongest one should be Peng Demon King. We have no idea how strong it is. The Lion Camel King is not that ambitious, and just wants to manage his own acre of three-point land. Although the Bull Demon King is ambitious, it is restrained by the Dragon Demon King. At present, there is only one Peng Demon King who needs to worry about now."

"Where is the Macaque King?"

"The Macaque King has no military power, so it is not worth fearing."

"Is this true?" The monkey laughed and sighed, "What's wrong with the bull demon king being restrained by the dragon demon king?"

"Don't you know the old grudge between the Bull Demon King and the Dragon Demon King?"

"I don't know, just tell me."

Taking a deep breath, Yanxi explained: "That was before the establishment of the demons. The Bull Demon King had an adoptive father, one of the most powerful demon kings at that time, and valued the Bull Demon King very much. At the same time, he had a close relationship with the Jiao Demon King who had just emerged at that time. He had a good relationship and even betrothed his own daughter to the Jiao Demon King."

"However, something happened before the marriage was reached. The adoptive father of the Bull Demon King had always wanted to retire because he valued the Bull Demon King and regarded the Bull Demon King as his adopted son. Therefore, his subordinates always regarded the Bull Demon King as the crown prince. However, once the Jiao Demon King became a son-in-law, things would change. The son-in-law was undoubtedly more qualified to inherit than the adopted son. So the Bull Demon King turned against him."

"He killed his adoptive father with his own hands. In order to deal with Jiao Demon King, he forced his sister to marry Peng Demon King in order to seek alliances, and eventually forced his sister to commit suicide. After this incident, Jiao Demon King and Niu Demon King formed a bond. Both sides fought and stopped and fought, and had experienced countless battles over hundreds of years. It was not until His Majesty took the initiative to incorporate them that both sides stopped."

"But... until today, no one can tell whether the grudges between them have been resolved. After all, in the court for thousands of years, Jiao Cang and Ku Ye Ze have been fighting each other again and again. We even think that during the previous rebellion of the Demon Capital, the reason why the Dragon Demon King was determined to be the king was actually because the Bull Demon King stood opposite him."

"The most important thing is that the powerful general of the Bull Demon King Ruyun. The Red Dragon Army relies on the personal combat power of the Dragon Demon King. He is the only one among all the demon kings who have never suffered a defeat. I heard that the Bull Demon King still has twelve scars on his body, all of which are left by the Dragon Demon King's horse-slaying sword."

Hearing this, the monkey's eyebrows couldn't help but frown into a horoscope.

"Scar? Why didn't he erase it? Isn't it just a magical matter?"

"To hold grudges." Looking at the monkey, Yanxi smiled and said, "What else can remind herself that there is an endless opponent in this world than the scars engraved on her body?"
