Although Yan Heng is the second prince, this demon-killing army belongs to Chen Dong after all. Naturally, Chen Dong spoke first, and then it was the second prince's turn.
Yan Heng symbolically said a few encouraging words, and also said that he was not qualified to represent the royal family. He only donated 50 million spiritual stones out of his personal wishes to be used for everyone to eat, drink and relieve themselves on the road.
Fifty million spiritual stones, evenly divided among 100,000 people, is actually not much, but this is the second prince’s wish, which is already a big deal for an individual, so everyone cheered again, and everyone shouted that the second prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, and a thousand years old.
Chitose.
Chen Dong was also very moved. Even if this was Yan Heng's way of winning people's hearts, at least he actually paid for it.
As long as you pay, you are a good person!
Yan Heng was indeed very generous. He brought out 50 million spiritual stones on the spot and asked Chen Dong if he had any money and grain officials.
Chen Dong's team had just been assembled, and various positions were still vacant, but he quickly thought of someone.
"HD River!"
"exist!"
Gao Qinghe quickly walked out of the crowd and came to Chen Dong.
Qing Qinghe's impression on Chen Dong was that he was always a prudent businessman. It shouldn't be a big problem to hand over the management of the spirit stones to him, but he had to be careful about this kid's theft and corruption.
Chen Dong said seriously: "These 50 million spirit stones have been entrusted to you for safekeeping. You are also responsible for everyone's eating, drinking and sleeping. If you let me know that you dare to deduct even one spirit stone, I will skin you."
!”
Gao Qinghe was frightened and said repeatedly: "I don't dare, I will try my best."
Then, Chen Dong met Xia Jinglong, Leng Yanni, Pang Pangli, Fang Shou under King Yandong, and Ma Yutang under King Yanxi.
He divided the team into five teams, and each person led one team and was named a pioneer officer.
As for Wu Yang, Qi Tiansheng and others, they are all deputies, because Chen Dong does not trust them yet, so let them be inferior to a few people first, and then make a decision based on their performance in the future.
Of course, these are all temporary. When we really arrive in the south and join up with King Yannan's team, there will be some adjustments depending on the situation.
It was the first time for Chen Dong to take charge of so many people, but because he had been the boss of a company and the head of a certain faction before, he had some management experience. In fact, it was the same thing, with power being delegated layer by layer.
He only needs to manage a few people at the top.
However, these things may sound simple, but they are actually not easy to handle.
Chen Dong, Xia Jinglong, Pang Pangli and others were busy until night, and finally took a short rest.
During this process, Yan Heng has been by Chen Dong's side, helping to make plans and mobilize resources.
Chen Dong knew that the second prince wanted to win over him, but there was no reason to drive him away, not to mention that he did help.
At night, everyone began to cook in pots.
Yan Heng wanted to ask Chen Dong to go back to the city for dinner, but Chen Dong said, "Thank you, Second Prince, for your kindness. Your Majesty gave me three days to prepare. I want to stay with you all more."
Chen Dong thought, should Yan Heng leave now?
But no.
Yan Heng said with a smile: "Okay, I will accompany you to eat in the wild."
The dignified second prince, it was indeed an eye-opener for him to be so wronged.
Yanzu would definitely not treat such an army of demon slayers poorly, but all the supplies were not ready yet, so the conditions were quite simple for the time being, and everyone was eating in the wild.
As the demon slayer, Chen Dong's conditions are relatively good, with a table and a few chairs.
When the dishes were served, Yan Heng ordered others to bring a few jugs of wine.
From Xinghua Village, Sanjin County, exclusively for the royal family, the wine is fragrant!
Chen Dong found it a bit funny, thinking that Yan Zu was really imitating the Earth in every aspect, even a brand like "Xinghua Village" had to be placed in Sanjin County.
Those who are qualified to sit and eat with Chen Dong are actually those few people, Xia Jinglong, Pang Pangli, Leng Yanni, Ma Yutang and Fang Shou, plus the newly appointed "money and grain officer" Gao Qinghe.
However, Yan Heng called Wu Yang from Zihuo Sect and Qi Tiansheng from Feiying Villa.
Chen Dong knew that this was because both Wu Yang and Qi Tiansheng belonged to the second prince.
Like Lu Fengyu of Xuanyue Mansion, the second prince didn't scream. The guy was obviously unhappy. He was holding a bowl and squatting not far away, sulking.
In fact, Chen Dong really didn't want the second prince to turn this meal into his own private party, but he couldn't refute his face in public. Fortunately, Xia Jinglong and Gao Qinghe were the eldest prince's people, so they were able to moderate the situation somewhat.
But having said that, as the second prince, Yan Heng was able to put down his posture and eat and drink outdoors with everyone, which indeed played an inspiring role.
So everyone enjoyed the meal quite happily.
During this period, the supplies sent by Yanzu's people were also increasing, including tents, mattresses, everything.
By Haishi, camps were set up everywhere.
Yan Heng drank to his heart's content, held Chen Dong's hand and talked a lot, making it seem like the two of them had a good relationship.
Chen Dong was too embarrassed to say anything. Firstly, he was indeed an extraordinary person, and secondly, he had helped and paid before coming here. As the saying goes, the hands of those who take others are short, and the mouth of those who eat them is soft. No matter what, he was too embarrassed to show his bad face.
It wasn't until Yan Heng flew away that Chen Dong's expression gradually became serious.
"Xia Jinglong, Pang Pangli, Leng Yanni, Lu Fengyu, Gao Qinghe, Qi Tiansheng, Wu Yang, come to my tent!" Chen Dong turned around and walked into the tent.
Everyone followed immediately.
In the camp, Chen Dong scanned several people back and forth, and everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Chen Dong shouted coldly: "I don't care who you were before, or which sect you came from. Now that you have joined my demon slayer army, you are my Chen Dong's people! When you come back from the Southern Expedition, you can go wherever you like.
Wherever you go, who you choose to take refuge with, it has nothing to do with me! But from now on, if I find anyone who is half-hearted and hooks up with others while under my subordinates... they will be dealt with according to military law!"
Although Chen Dong didn't say it clearly, everyone knew what he meant.
Regardless of whether he is the eldest prince or the second prince, Chen Dong does not want those disputes to enter the Demon Slayer Army.
"Xia Jinglong, do you know?!" Chen Dong suddenly asked in a cold voice.
"Yes!" Xia Jinglong responded immediately.
Everyone knows that Xia Jinglong has the best relationship with Chen Dong, so they asked him first so that Xia Jinglong could set an example.
Then, Chen Dong looked at the others, his cold eyes sweeping across the faces: "Do you know?!"
At the same time, Chen Dong also exuded the aura of his fourth-level sage.
It is very easy for a fourth-level psychic to suppress a group of ninth-level psychics.
Everyone was also shocked.
More than a month ago, Chen Dong was only at the ninth level of peak psychic level. Even if he took the Tongsheng Pill, he wouldn't be able to rise so quickly, right?!
Some of those who were originally dissatisfied with Chen Dong and did not take Chen Dong seriously were now trembling and looking at him in disbelief, feeling an unprecedented sense of fear in their hearts.
"Okay, let's all go out and have a rest early." Chen Dong said calmly.
Everyone walked out one after another, and Chen Dong called out again: "Xia Jinglong, you stay."
Xia Jinglong stopped.
After everyone had left, Chen Dong said: "Senior Brother Xia, I was the first to ask you, do you understand what I mean?"
"Understood." Xia Jinglong nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will not participate in the dispute between the two princes while joining the Demon Slayer Army."
Chen Dong laughed, he really liked Xia Jinglong's transparency.
"That's right." Chen Dong said: "When the demon slayer comes back, you can help whoever you want. It has nothing to do with me."
Xia Jinglong also smiled and said: "What about you, who are you going to help?"
"I don't help anyone." Chen Dong said seriously: "I don't like these things. I hate their struggle for imperial power!"
On Earth, Chen Dong was once involved in the dispute between Yan Sheng and Tian Jun. It was truly the most unbearable and disgusting memory in his life.
The so-called emperor has no feelings at all and just treats people as tools!
As one learns a lesson, Chen Dong is no longer interested in this kind of thing.
…
Going to Beijing, Baihua Tower.
In a certain side hall, mist curled up.
In the center is a bathtub.
The eldest prince, Yan Ting, sat naked in the tub, with water droplets sliding down his forehead and cheeks.
Behind him, there was a pair of slender hands holding a white handkerchief, gently wiping it all over his body.
It was none other than the number one oiran in Baihua Tower and the number one beauty in Beijing, Ye Yingxue.
Ye Yingxue's hand rubbed Yan Ting's chest.
Yan Ting seemed to finally be able to bear it no longer, grabbing Ye Yingxue's hand and dragging her into the tub.
"ah--"
Ye Yingxue let out a soft cry, and the white dress on her body quickly got wet, and some parts of her body suddenly appeared looming.
"First Prince, what are you doing..."
Ye Yingxue's face turned red and she tried to push Yan Ting away.
But Yan Ting hugged her tighter instead, as if he wanted to rub her whole body into his body.
"I'm sorry..." Yan Ting said softly: "I want to take you as my concubine, but my father doesn't agree..."
Lying on Yan Ting's slightly moist but hot chest, Ye Yingxue's tears slipped down, falling silently into the tub along her fair and smooth face.
"It doesn't matter..." Ye Yingxue suppressed her tears: "My family is of low status and I don't dare to follow a dragon... If the eldest prince can come and see me from time to time, my family will be satisfied!"
Listening to Ye Yingxue's cries, Yan Ting couldn't help but feel his heart twisting.
Ye Yingxue was once a very pure girl. Even after staying in Baihua Tower for ten years, she never lost her virginity to any guest.
Yan Ting is her first man.
In his opinion, Ye Yingxue is a top-notch person, regardless of her figure, appearance, intelligence, or talent.
Such a woman can definitely play a lot of roles by her side.
In order to persuade Ye Yingxue to "seduce" other men, Yan Ting once made a promise to take her as a concubine in the future.
Over the years, Ye Yingxue tried her best and did many things for him.
But the matter of "taking concubines" failed.
Yan Ting felt very sorry for Ye Yingxue. Every time he saw Ye Yingxue, it made him feel ashamed!
He owes this woman too much, too much.
"I swear." Yan Ting said seriously: "Even if I marry another woman in the future, you will be the only one in my heart."
"First Prince, these words from you are enough!" Ye Yingxue raised her head and kissed Yan Ting on the lips...
After some passion, Yan Ting put on his clothes and walked out of the side hall.
A guard came over and reported some situations.
Yan Ting frowned slightly and murmured: "What kind of trick is this Yan Heng doing? In order to win Chen Dong under his command, he has gone to such an extent to do anything?"
"First Prince, if Chen Dong really surrenders to the Second Prince..." the guard hesitated to speak.
Yan Ting was silent for a long time and said calmly: "Ask Xia Jinglong to come."
