Li Rongsen stared at An Yan, fearing that something might happen to her.

But An Yan's skills were always very good. She jumped off her horse and jumped directly in front of Qinghua, saying to him, "I heard that you have acacia grass here, so I came here to collect the herbs."

"I know. Mr. Li has already told me, and I also asked that man about it. It's in the mountain behind us. He accidentally slipped and fell while picking herbs, and that's how he discovered the acacia grass. It was a blessing in disguise." Qinghua explained to An Yan.

An Yan nodded. She thought this was reasonable and said, "Your Flower Snake Mountain is indeed a place where treasures are found. You name a price, and I will certainly not take your treasure for nothing."

"The city lord is too polite. I have received many favors from West City on a daily basis. Moreover, I am so rich today because of Mr. Li's care. How dare I ask for a price? Even if you want to take it for free, I will not hesitate." Qinghua smiled politely.

An Yan said to him, "You don't have to be polite. Business is business, and I don't dare to ask for more. I just want ten acacia plants."

Qinghua raised the corner of his mouth slightly. He first glanced at Li Rongsen, but he didn't dare to respond.

Li Rongsen said, "Just follow the city lord's wishes. Just name your price."

"Okay, then how about twice the price we usually agreed on? How about that?" Qinghua said.

"How can that be possible? You can't do business like this." An Yan immediately interrupted Qinghua's words and looked at him with a serious face, seeming to be very dissatisfied.

This stunned Qinghua. He felt that his price was quite fair, but he didn't expect her to refuse.

An Yan said to herself, "It is said in ancient books that it takes a hundred years for Acacia to sprout, a hundred years for branches, a hundred years for leaves, and a hundred years for flowers to bloom. It takes five hundred years to be called Acacia. I will give you twenty times the usual price."

She knew that this herb was extremely rare. Taking ten plants from someone would be considered stealing. She absolutely could not let the other person suffer a loss, and she did not like to take advantage of others.

"This, this..." Qinghua was even more stunned than before. He kept blinking at Li Rongsen, not knowing what to do, so he didn't dare to respond.

Li Rongsen was also surprised. He didn't expect An Yan to be so generous.

Qinghua's emotions had calmed down. He asked An Yan, "Does the city lord know that Mr. Li usually gives us a high price? This twenty times the value is an astronomical figure."

"It's okay. I keep my word." An Yan didn't think there was anything wrong.

Yan Qingqiu couldn't help but applaud and said, "Good, good, the city lord is so domineering and his bargaining skills are first-rate."

An Yan glanced at Yan Qingqiu lightly, and then walked into the mountain gate.

Qinghua walked over to Li Rongsen and said to him, "I'll take it first, and then you don't have to pay for the medicine later until this money is deducted. What do you think?"

"I'll do as you say. Just consider it as my advance payment." Li Rongsen had no other choice but to do so. He certainly couldn't not pay, otherwise An Yan would find out.

Yan Qingqiu just chuckled aside.

An Yan had already gone into the mountains on her own. She didn't know that this was all arranged by Li Rongsen, so this trip to collect herbs was not difficult, just a little troublesome.

Yan Qingqiu and Li Rongsen followed An Yan and climbed down the mountain along the rope, but they were not in a hurry to collect herbs.

"Hey, how are your preparations? It would be bad if they are too simple, as she will see through them." Yan Qingqiu said, thinking that An Yan was a shrewd person and it would be impossible for her to be fooled so easily.

Under normal circumstances, An Yan might not be fooled, but she was anxious at the moment, so she did not think it through. Besides, she would not suspect Li Rongsen, so naturally she did not think too much about it.

"Of course I wouldn't dare to say it's simple. Dong Zang XZ put a lot of effort into it. I think it's very similar." Li Rongsen answered him in a low voice.

"You're lying again. There's one right under my feet. It's so easy to pick one up." Yan Qingqiu pointed to his feet. It was a red Acacia grass. He quickly bent down and covered it with the grass.

"Then you stand here and don't let her come over. This will make it difficult." Li Rongsen said as he walked towards An Yan and asked her, "How are you? Did you find anything?"

"Not yet." An Yan said as she turned over the grass.

This place was overgrown with weeds and all kinds of plants, and there was a pond on the right. There was almost no road, and everyone had to make a path by themselves, but An Yan didn't have the heart to do so. She just wanted to find more acacia grass as soon as possible.

Yan Qingqiu stood there motionless, thinking that he should bring some food and drinks.

At this time, someone was heard shouting from above: "Hey, do you want to eat or drink anything? We have everything here. The mountain owner said he would be a good host. Please don't be polite, city lord. Tea and water are all free."

Yan Qingqiu was about to respond when he heard An Yan say, "No need, thank you."

"Why not?" Yan Qingqiu murmured softly. This was all free food and drink.

An Yan was looking down for grass. She didn't come here to eat or drink, she came here to find grass, so naturally she didn't need this kind of service.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Li Rongsen said to her, "Take off the backpack and I'll carry it for you."

"No, this is not heavy." An Yan indicated that it was not necessary. She didn't have time to care about other things now. She just wanted to find the Acacia grass quickly.

Li Rongsen also pretended to be looking for something seriously and picked one in a pretentious manner.

The rest were all found by An Yan herself. Her movements were quick and gentle, for fear of damaging the acacia grass. She found seven acacia grasses in half an hour, and now there was only one grass left. She found Yan Qingqiu's feet and said, "Don't move. I found a grass right here. You were just a little bit away from stepping on it, but you couldn't even see it."

"What's wrong?" Yan Qingqiu asked. He did it on purpose. Of course he knew that he still had a Acacia plant here.

"What a coincidence, there are exactly ten of them." An Yan said as she carefully pulled up the acacia grass and handed it to Li Rongsen, motioning him to put it in the backpack behind her.

Li Rongsen said: "Can we go back now?"

"I want to look for more, just in case there are more." An Yan felt that the more of this thing the better. It couldn't be such a coincidence that there were only ten plants. One more would be good.

Yan Qingqiu said: "You are too greedy. There are so many plants here. How can you call them rare if they produce too much?"

"If you don't want to help me find it, then stop talking nonsense. I'll just watch you being lazy here." An Yan said to him, while looking around again.

Li Rongsen looked down at An Yan and felt distressed. He stepped forward, held her hand, and said, "Let's not look for her anymore. You've been busy all the time. Aren't you tired or thirsty?"

"Look for a while longer. If there's really nothing, forget it. I'm afraid I'd missed one." An Yan signaled him not to worry. She just hoped there could be one more.

Yan Qingqiu walked up to Li Rongsen and said, "It's hard for you. Have you hidden your wound?"

"That's for sure." Li Rongsen was doing this very carefully, and walked towards An Yan again, saying to her, "An Yan, let's not look for it anymore. We should go back. It's getting late. Come here again tomorrow, or ask them to send it to us after they find it."
