Li Mo was thinking about good things in his mind, but he didn't know that the two people opposite him had already heard his thoughts.
He adjusted his mood and temporarily drove out several women in the house.
"Madam, you misunderstood. I have always treated you as honored guests. How could I be disrespectful to you?"
Ye Xiaoxiao was too lazy to argue with him and went straight to the point.
"Lord City Guard, you keep saying that you treat us as honored guests. We are truly terrified."
"Sir, since we have come here sincerely, why don't you tell us what you want from us?"
Seeing Ye Xiaoxiao's straightforwardness, Li Mo thought for a moment and decided to test it out.
"It's nothing, actually. I'm sure the shopkeeper has already told you."
"Our West City is located in a remote area, but it is rich in resources. Therefore, what we lack most is foreign population."
"You are obviously wealthy and noble businessmen, so we want to cooperate with you."
Ye Xiaoxiao smiled faintly, "Cooperation? I wonder how you would like to cooperate?"
Li Mo sat up straight with great effort, then said with a smile.
"Oh my, this is not the way to talk about business."
"How about this? I'll host a banquet at my house later. Would you two be willing to attend?"
When Ye Xiaoxiao thought of Li Mo's dirty thoughts, she had no desire to eat at all.
However, in order to find out their true background, Ye Xiaoxiao had no choice but to agree with a smile.
"Since Your Excellency is so sincere, we will respectfully obey your orders."
When Li Mo saw Ye Xiaoxiao agreed, the smile on his face became more sincere (obscene).
"Haha, good, Madam is really generous."
"Come here, prepare the most grand and special banquet in our mansion for these nobles. I will not leave until I am drunk today."
When the butler heard about the special banquet, he immediately understood what Li Mo meant.
Shangguan Lingyun raised his eyebrows, knowing that the fat man had done this many times before.
If Ye Xiaoxiao hadn't wanted to play cat and mouse, Shangguan Lingyun would have crushed him to death long ago.
A few people first drank a cup of tea in the hall, and then the housekeeper came to notify them.
Shangguan Lingyun and Ye Xiaoxiao had no appetite, but in order to play games with Li Mo, they endured the discomfort and sat down with him.
But when she saw the food on the table, Ye Xiaoxiao exclaimed, "Wow!"
There were things like Polygonatum sibiricum, wolfberry and oxtail soup, ginseng and quail soup, and all kinds of nourishing whips and so on.
[This old pervert isn't afraid of killing himself.]
[But it's no wonder. Looking at the disgruntled looks on those women's faces, if he didn't make up for it, he'd probably be cuckolded.]
[Food and sex are human nature. It's not your fault to be lustful, but if you are lustful towards your aunt and her husband, then you are wrong.]
Ye Xiaoxiao pretended not to understand the tricks of the food and casually picked up a little bit for Shangguan Lingyun with her chopsticks.
"My dear, these are all good things, Master Li. Eat more. They are good for your health."
When Li Mo heard this, he immediately burst into laughter.
"It seems that Madam is also a fellow traveler. Don't be polite, Madam. I would like to offer you a toast."
[Hehe, this wine of mine is unbearable for even a woman or a fierce horse.]
[Wait and see how I handle you. I'll make sure you don't dare disrespect me.]
Ye Xiaoxiao pretended not to hear and pulled Shangguan Lingyun to raise their glasses to drink with Li Mo.
Seeing this, Li Mo was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
But he didn't see that Ye Xiaoxiao and Shangguan Lingyun quickly poured the wine in the cup aside.
Although Ye Xiaoxiao and Shangguan Lingyun are immune to all poisons, Li Mo's wine is not entirely poisonous.
Ye Xiaoxiao secretly asked the system, but the system couldn't guarantee that it could be purified 100%.
Ye Xiaoxiao had no choice but to squeeze Shangguan Lingyun's hand, and then the two of them covered each other and poured out all the wine.
Li Mo did not suspect anything. After seeing the two of them drinking, the smile on his face became even more intense.
"Haha, madam, you have a good alcohol tolerance. I will toast you another glass."
As he spoke, he filled Ye Xiaoxiao's glass with wine, but Ye Xiaoxiao did not raise her glass.
"Lord City Guard, you're planning to cooperate with us without even asking what we do?"
When Li Mo heard this, he immediately responded in a pretentious manner.
"Madam, you are right. I was reckless. I wonder what brings you to West City this time?"
Ye Xiaoxiao smiled faintly,
"To be honest, Lord City Guard, we recently heard that a rare medicinal herb appeared on West City Mountain."
"A relative at home is unwell and urgently needs this herbal medicine to treat an illness, so we came here."
Ye Xiaoxiao deliberately stated her purpose, just to see if Li Mo and the others knew why she came to Xicheng.
Li Mo was slightly stunned. "Madam, aren't you here to do business?"
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded, "We are mainly here to look for herbs. As for business, if there is a suitable one, it is not impossible."
Li Mo frowned, "That might disappoint Madam."
"The mountains of Xicheng are dry all year round. Not to mention herbs, even weeds are scarce."
Ye Xiaoxiao frowned, then listened carefully to Li Mo's thoughts.
[What herbs? Besides minerals, there aren't any rare herbs in Xicheng Mountain.]
[This is really ridiculous. Doesn't it say that the other party is a very powerful person? ]
[Who among the rich and powerful would personally go up the mountain to collect herbs?]
[Could it be that these two people are not the ones mentioned above, and I made a mistake? ]
[No matter who they are, they dare to harm me. I must deal with them today.]
Ye Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes slightly, and when she saw that Li Mo didn't know about the herbs, she felt relieved for the time being.
However, there is indeed a mine on Xicheng Mountain. I should go and take a closer look tomorrow.
