Chapter 305: Dilemma
With a bang, the monkey punched the table hard.
The sound echoed in the not-so-large cabin.
The new army generals who had been crowded with the room were all looking at him silently, and Ao Tingxin, who was sitting beside him.
Covering his face, the monkey sat without saying a word.
The generals present looked at each other in a glance.
After a while, the monkey let go of his hands covering his face and said, "You all go down first, I have something to talk about with the Fourth Princess."
"promise!"
The generals went out in scattered ways, with only Ao Tingxin and Monkey left in the cabin.
"I always thought it was the macaque king who was doing it before. It was useful to install gongs on the warship, which was proof. But now it suddenly became useless again."
"So, do you think it's not the Macaque King?"
"No, I think it's still the Macaque King. After all, there are more than nightmares around the Macaque King. Nightmare is just a means of his. After tens of thousands of years of operation, it's not surprising that he has an unknown team. What's more, he still has a large amount of military pay and is missing. It's very likely to be used to raise this team." After taking a deep breath, the monkey continued, "I don't quite understand the meaning of his doing these things."
"Hmm?" Ao Tingxin raised his eyes slightly and looked at the monkey.
"Is this a big fight just to frame the Dragon Demon King? Or... he has a need for these materials itself?"
After saying that, the monkey looked at Ao Tingxin again.
After thinking about it, Ao Tingxin said, "Didn't we guessed that his money was used to support the army before? The most expensive thing in this world is to support the army. A huge army is simply a bottomless pit. Moreover... all the industries of the demon capital have been accepted by the Prime Minister of Duomei, and the source of economic resources has been cut off. If the money used to support the army before, then in order to maintain it, it will inevitably be plundered. In this way, it will be reasonable."
"But where is this army?" asked the monkey.
When Ao Tingxin asked, he couldn't help but feel silent.
This puzzle is still not solved.
Rubbing his temples, the monkey sighed helplessly: "Why do these guys like to play puzzles so much? Forget it, it's useless to think about it. How about you?"
"What are you referring to?"
"I'm talking about your father and your uncles."
"I haven't reacted yet. When I go back, I should..." Ao Tingxin sighed softly: "You think of a solution as soon as possible. I should be able to withstand it for a while."
“What’s the worst case?”
"The worst case is that they broke the contract and cut off the support they gave you."
“Will you not be affected?”
"What can I do? Can they even destroy me, the Fourth Princess of the East China Sea? At most, I will hand over the authority and let my third brother in Xihai take charge. I will go back to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea to live a peaceful life. I will be happy to be idle."
The monkey stretched his neck and asked carefully, "It's just that?"
"It's just that." Ao Tingxin replied expressionlessly.
"Isn't that bad?" The monkey scratched his face and laughed: "It seems that I'm thinking too much."
Ao Tingxin didn't speak, but just looked at the monkey quietly.
Seeing this, the monkey had to cough twice, dilute his original smile and said, "What are you doing?"
"Do you still remember our agreement?" Ao Tingxin asked.
"You mean..."
"I mean, I bet everything on you, you must become famous in the Three Realms, below one person and above ten thousand people. Don't forget, you said you want to be the Monkey King."
Hearing this, the monkey couldn't help but lower his head, and his eyebrows were frowned. After a while, he sighed, "Okay, I understand."
"If the new army cut off the support of the dragon clan, it will be cut off, which will inevitably lead to the compression of its power. I will try my best to gain time, but you must also figure out the whole story of the matter as soon as possible and not let this happen again... or, at least, you cannot let this thing continue, otherwise, I will be in trouble."
The monkey nodded silently.
"Just understand, I have to go back first. Now, the mansion is probably in full swing. I have to go back and comfort it."
As he said that, Ao Tingxin stood up slowly with the table.
...
Ao Tingxin left, but the monkey's heart was so blocked.
I originally thought that I could rest assured by installing a drum and drum, but now it seems that it is not possible. But once I open this head, there will be endless troubles.
Of course, what makes the monkey most is not these, but what Ao Tingxin said.
Back at Huaguo Mountain, the monkey immediately sent out all the useful people at hand. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, he scattered all over the place and began to look carefully. As for what to look for?
Well, the monkey himself doesn’t know, and even less so, those sent out people don’t know.
But even so, can’t you sit in the camp? You have to go out, otherwise will the clue fall from the sky?
In a blink of an eye, another month has passed.
During this month, the monkey spent every day in anxiety. He wanted new intelligence and was afraid of new intelligence.
Only with intelligence can there be clues, but with intelligence, it also means that somewhere may be attacked again. It means losses.
In a month, the merchant ships of the Dragon Palace were attacked twice, the industries under the name of the Silver Clan were attacked three times, and even the industries of the New Army controlled by the monkey themselves were attacked once. The total loss is expected to reach 10 million silver claws...
A thick stack of reports of losses was stacked on the desk, making the monkey's scalp numb.
At this moment, he finally felt the despair of the Lion Camel King.
"Damn... how can this day be the end? If this continues, we don't have to wait for the war. Just grab it and we can go bankrupt." leaning against the back of the chair, the monkey sighed helplessly.
Bai Shuang stood aside and watched quietly.
"What about the losses of others?"
"The losses of others..." Bai Shuang flipped through the notebook at hand and said, "The Bull Demon King was robbed three times, and the losses seemed to be quite heavy. The Lion Camel King was also robbed once. There were not much material losses, but...the personnel losses were quite a lot. It seemed that the fallen soldiers were over a thousand. The Peng Demon King was also attacked once."
"Take it and see it." The monkey stretched out his hand.
Bai Shuang quickly handed over the notebook at hand.
After flipping, the monkey's brows couldn't help but frown.
"What's wrong?" Bai Shuang asked.
"The Peng Demon King suffered a small loss and was only attacked once. Moreover, it was at the beginning of the month. After that, there was no loss."
"What's the matter?"
Putting down the notebook, the monkey's eyes rolled up and said, "You said, would they discover something like we did before, and then, successfully avoid the losses?"
Bai Shuang shuddered and quickly opened her eyes wide: "Then... send someone to check what abnormal movements they have?"
He threw the notebook on the table and the monkey whispered, "No, I'll go check it myself."
...
At this moment, the Dragon Clan Mansion in the Demon Capital.
"In one month, two teams of merchant ships were robbed! Including the previous teams, four teams! Who is the loss?"
"Is there no explanation for the new army?"
"What can the new army say?"
"What about Prime Minister Duomei? The agreement we signed with the new army is the guarantee of Prime Minister Duomei."
"The Yinsi in Prime Minister Duomei was robbed even worse than us."
"In this case, what's the point of the agreement with the new army? It's better to compromise with the Bull Demon King at the beginning!"
"That's not true. It's useless to compromise with the Bull Demon King. Now Ku Yeze himself is not much better."
The Dragon King of the Four Seas said one by one, and they were all angry and were about to start arguing.
Ao Tingxin knelt quietly in front of the bronze mirror, lowered her head, and said nothing.
After a while, the spearhead was finally pointed at Ao Tingxin.
"Who proposed to sign an agreement with the New Army at that time?"
"Yes, I." As he said that, Ao Tingxin bowed deeply.
"Since that's the case, you will terminate the agreement. If the new army cannot guarantee that our dragon clan is comprehensive, it will be a breach of contract. Since this is the case, it is reasonable for us to terminate the agreement. I believe that Prime Minister Duomu will not have any complaints."
As soon as these words were spoken, the dragon kings expressed their agreement. Even the Dragon King of the East China Sea, who has always protected their daughter, could only remain silent.
Ao Tingxin said loudly: "Please give the new army some time. At most two months, the new army will definitely be able to solve this problem within two months."
"What if it can't?" asked the Dragon King of the West Sea.
After gritting his teeth, Ao Tingxin continued, "If you can't... Tingxin will not say much. This matter will be handled by your uncles."
