The Monkey King

Chapter 281: Recruitment

What Short Mouth said is not unreasonable. Considering the overall situation of Huaguoshan, it is in each other's interests to put aside the past feud with the Six Demon King, even if it is to put aside the dispute temporarily, and join forces to deal with the common enemy.

If the Six Demon Kings came to help when the Tianhe navy attacked, the monkey would definitely agree without thinking. After all, protecting this family is what he should do most now.

To settle the score, it would not be too late to wait until the Tianhe navy is defeated.

It's a pity that the alliance between the Six Demon Kings is not just an alliance, but also has a condition attached - they want elixirs.

Just talking about the elixir transaction...

Although the monkey cannot make elixirs by himself, he still knows a lot about alchemy. Yang Chan has complained more than once about the poor quality of the materials that Short Mouth has scraped together.

If the Six Demon King assists in collecting materials, then with limited manpower, better elixirs can be produced, which is equivalent to increasing production in disguise.

The final elixir will be divided into six demon kings, with seven deductions and eight deductions. Calculated, the profit will definitely not be much. The higher number on the Huaguo Mountain is just to save a little manpower in searching for the elixir.

As far as this transaction is concerned, although Huaguoshan did not make a profit, it did not lose money either.

In this way, all the profits will be invested in the alliance with the Six Demon Kings.

In this regard, Monkey is not worried about the Six Demon King turning his gun on the battlefield.

No matter how stupid and unfaithful those six guys are, they dare to cooperate with Nantianmen, but they will definitely not dare to cooperate with Tianpeng.

This is no longer a question of credit, but a question of interests.

Who is Marshal Tianpeng? That was the mortal enemy of the Six Demon Kings, and they had visited the Six Demon Kings' lair twice alone, not counting the previous time when they fought against the Evil Dragon Pond. No matter what. It was impossible for the Six Demon King to turn his gun around and help Tianpeng hit him. At most, it's just sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. Otherwise. Seeing that the situation is not right and running away directly is also a possibility.

From this perspective, Huaguo Mountain seems to have nothing to lose.

However, this is only from a short-term perspective against the Tianhe navy. Monkey's current position means that he has to think a little more about things.

There is no doubt that whether the covenant is binding on the Six Demon Kings and whether they will abide by the agreement is the key point whether they should agree to this transaction or not.

To put it bluntly, if you agree. It's just a bet on the character of the Six Demon King.

Monkey doesn't know what kind of character the Bull Demon King is, but the character of the Jiao Demon King is worrying. Furthermore, Monkey has no expectations for the character of other demon kings. No matter how much the All Saint Dragon King guarantees this, it is useless.

Judging from the alliance, exchange of materials for elixirs, and possible future cooperation, it is true that Huaguoshan will not suffer any loss. This gamble seems to require no stakes. Is this really the case?

If you look at it from another angle, from the perspective of the Six Demon King, the result will be completely different. Not only did they not lose money, but they also made a fortune.

Without these, the demon soldiers under their command are just a bunch of rabble. With these, the combat effectiveness of hundreds of thousands of monsters cannot be underestimated.

It's a pity that according to the agreement, before the day comes to test whether the Six Demon King's personality is reliable. The monkey first has to fatten them up.

If the situation goes wrong when the battle begins with the Tianhe navy, Monkey has no doubt that they will run away on the spot. After all, this was not the first time they had abandoned their men and ran away, so what did allies mean?

If this is the case, it would be simple. All the things I have done before can only be said to be messy, and it does not matter whether it is right or wrong.

But what if Huaguoshan can barely withstand the Tianhe navy?

In that case, the Six Demon King will definitely intervene. Because Huaguo Mountain is gone, they are the next target. These big monsters naturally understand the principle of lip-destroying and tooth-cold, but when to intervene is a big problem.

If they are a bit more ruthless, they can wait until Huaguo Mountain is almost completely depleted before intervening. At that time, not only can we defeat the Tianhe navy, but we can also plot against Huaguoshan...

Isn’t this the case of rejecting the tiger through the front door and welcoming the wolf through the back door?

According to what Nine-Headed Insect confessed after joining Huaguo Mountain, the Six Demon Kings have coveted Huaguo Mountain for a long time. If Huaguo Mountain is severely damaged due to the battle with Tianhe Navy and the Six Demon Kings gain power, after defeating Tianhe Navy, will they be willing to continue to be restricted by Huaguo Mountain? Wouldn't they want to gain the ability to make alchemy themselves?

As for if Huaguoshan alone can repel the Tianhe navy, what is Monkey going to do to fatten these guys? Will you make enemies for yourself in the future?

After careful consideration, the monkey finally came to the conclusion that if the Six Demon Kings are not trustworthy, then the result will either be a disaster or a fool's errand. If the Six Demon Kings are trustworthy...

This possibility is quite low. If you place your bet on a guy with such bad records as the Six Demon King, the odds are not high, so why bother?

But the monkey thinks so, and the Wan Sheng Dragon King doesn't think so.

Since he had some connection with the Bull Demon King, and was entrusted by the Bull Demon King this time, he very much hoped that Huaguoshan could unite with the Six Demon Kings, even more than the white-bone spirit sent here by Dizzy and Dizzy.

So, in the next few days, the Halloween Dragon King began to move around.

Three days passed like this.

Three days later in the evening, Xiao Bailong came to the temporary wooden attic that the monkey had built in the dungeon.

Standing outside the door and knocking gently, he said with a smile: "Brother Monkey, Short Mouth said you wanted to see me. I have failed several times today. It's not easy to meet you."

Monkey raised his head and glanced at him lightly, nodded and said, "I asked him to call you here."

After saying that, he put down the bamboo slips and pointed to the futon beside him and said: "Sit down, let's chat. It's been quite a while since you came to Huaguoshan. I've been busy and I haven't had time to chat with you in detail."

"Okay." Xiao Bailong immediately ran to the monkey and sat down: "What are you talking about?"

"Let's talk about when you're leaving."

Upon saying this, Xiao Bailong's expression froze on the spot.

After a while, he frowned in displeasure and said, "Brother Monkey, are you trying to drive me away?"

"It can't be called 'rush'." The monkey said earnestly while making tea: "This is for your own good. You also know that a war may start here at any time. At that time, the swords without eyes... will be mistaken for flowers. It’s no fun if a member of Guoshan is injured. Is that right?”

Xiao Bailong pouted, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Brother Hou for your concern. But hasn't this started yet? By then the decree from Heaven will be officially issued. It won't be too late for me to leave. Besides, even if the Tianhe River is watered by then, The army has really surrounded Huaguoshan. I don’t believe that with my cultivation, I can’t defeat you. How can I escape?”

Is this what Lai really meant?

The monkey was stunned for a moment, then he suppressed an amiable smile and said: "Look at my poor and dangerous land, and it's not safe. What's the point of staying here? It's better to go back to the West Sea as soon as possible."

"I just like the poor mountains and rivers. I've been looking at the Western Sea for hundreds of years, and I've long since grown tired of it."

"Then go to the East China Sea?"

"The East China Sea is not interesting either."

The corners of Monkey's mouth twitched slightly. Somewhat impatiently: "There are a lot of beautiful scenery in the four major states waiting for you, don't hang yourself on a tree."

"I just like your tree." Xiao Bailong stared at the monkey and said expressionlessly: "You said you are not chasing me away, but you are giving me an eviction order."

Suddenly, the atmosphere became tense.

The two people just stared at each other, expressionless.

After a long while, Monkey finished eating the teapot, his face changed, and he said coldly: "I just issued an order to expel guests, what's wrong?"

"Hey!" Xiao Bailong frowned and said with wide eyes: "Brother Monkey. I didn't eat much rice from you here? If you think I have a big appetite, I will let Xihai eat you later." I’ll give you back a hundredfold!”

"This is not a matter of food intake." Monkey waved his hand and said: "The key... why are you coming to my place if you are fine? You have been here for a year, are you coming? You have to recuperate at the beginning. Sorry for my fault. Well, there’s nothing to say. But how long has it been since your injury healed?”

"Do you think I'm in the way?" Xiao Bailong asked.

"Do you think you're not in the way?" Monkey asked.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bailong snorted coldly and said: "That's because you don't know how to employ people. I, the third prince of Xihai Dragon Palace, am such a talented person. I have been daunting in front of you every day for a year, and you Never thought about recruiting?"

Staring at the little white dragon, the monkey shook his head seriously: "I never thought about it."

"So you don't know how to read people!" Xiao Bailong immediately rolled his eyes at the monkey.

The monkey laughed dumbly, looked at him and joked: "I don't know how to read people? Why did I recruit you? Are you recruiting you to be tied up by Heizi? A few monsters will take care of you, let alone the heavenly soldiers and generals."

Suddenly, Xiao Bailong's face turned red, his eyes widened and he shouted: "At that time, I just didn't want to make the relationship too tense! I didn't take action, do you understand? Otherwise, the ten big horns wouldn't be enough for me! "

"Really?" The monkey looked at Xiao Bailong with a smile, reached out and took out his ears and said, "Would you like to try it?"

Xiao Bailong's slightly open mouth suddenly closed and he blinked in fear.

Everyone in Huaguo Mountain knows that monkeys have golden hoops in their ears...

After a while, he took a deep breath, swallowed, straightened up and said, "When you recruit people, you don't just rely on force? How superficial is fighting?"

"What else can we look at if we don't look at force?" Monkey asked.

Staring at the monkey, Xiao Bailong lowered his voice and said: "Look, comprehensive ability!"

"Comprehensive ability?" Monkey raised his eyebrows and wanted to laugh again.

This living treasure is really no different from his sister.

Xiao Bailong didn't take it seriously and said to himself: "Yes, it depends on comprehensive ability!"

"Can you be more specific?" Monkey pushed the brewed tea in front of Xiao Bailong, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, his eyes constantly glancing out the window.

The look on his face when he spoke was already a little absent-minded. This made Xiao Bailong feel that he had been greatly insulted.

"What do you do every day when you are busy?" He frowned and said seriously: "Isn't it just for a few breaking pills and a few weapons and armors? I know all this. Tell you, I have all these. As long as you take care of me, I will have as many armors and elixirs as you need! I will equip you according to the standards of the heavenly army!"

The monkey almost spit out half of the tea he drank. He put down the tea cup and looked at Xiao Bailong with interest: "You mean...you want to give me pills and weapons?"

Want to give something to the monster? Third Prince, does your father know that you are so generous?

Xiao Bailong patted his chest and said, "The Dragon Palace of the West Sea is the richest in the world. Are you worried that I won't be able to get it?"

"Oh, is there such a good thing in this world?"

"Of course! It's right here in front of you. It's a good thing if it's fake! For so long, I've been waiting for you to speak. As long as you speak, I will agree immediately. With our relationship, there is nothing left unsaid!"

What's our relationship?

Monkey really didn't understand the relationship between the two.

"But!" Xiao Bailong stretched out his finger and said slowly, "I have a small request."

Finally getting to the topic, let’s see what he can say.

The monkey thought for a long time and said softly: "Say."

"That nine-headed worm." Xiao Bailong paused for a moment, then lowered his voice and continued: "You must also know. Princess Wan Sheng was supposed to be my crown princess. Unfortunately, her eyesight was not very good. As a result, I am dignified. The third prince of Xihai, his marriage was regretted! I originally wanted to bring a few people back to find a place, but in the end, he was beaten in front of my subordinates. This... How do you want me to have the nerve to go back to Xihai to get things? Why not? In this way, you help me take care of the Nine-Headed Insect. How much equipment and elixirs you want, I won’t hesitate to tell you!"

Talking about the excitement, Xiao Bailong reached out to pick up the tea and drank it in one gulp, staring at the monkey with wide eyes.

The monkey touched his chin pretending to be hesitant and said, "Then wouldn't I have lost a general?"

"Tch, what kind of general is that?" Holding the monkey's hand, Xiao Bailong said expectantly: "You have weapons and pills, how many monsters do you want to recruit?"

"Actually, I have a better way." Holding Xiao Bailong's hand, Monkey said with the same expectation, "That is, I will detain you and write a letter to your father. By then, you should be able to ask for it. to more.”

Suddenly, Xiao Bailong's smile froze. (To be continued...)
