The villa hidden in the mountain behind the shrine is quiet and elegant, filled with an atmosphere that is different from the noisy atmosphere of Kaguya Castle.
Considering the seriousness of the matter, Li Mo followed the little fox back to her private courtyard at the shrine. After all, the street was not a place to talk business. Although the devil acted willfully, he promised Li Mo that he would be patient for a while, so Jing Li After some simple persuasion, I also came with him.
Now.
The three of them crowded into the small and windy guest room in the back mountain courtyard.
"Then, let's get down to business."
Li Mo sat cross-legged on the tatami in the guest seat with his hands folded and looked at the little fox on the main seat.
Everyone could tell that his tone was pretending to be calm. He was holding back a lot of anger, but as the top cadre, he could not freely vent his anger on the little fox, both in public and private matters.
"Let me ask you little fox, judging from the date on the secret document, this happened three days ago. Why didn't you tell me yesterday?"
"Because I have something I want to entrust to Master Li Mo."
The little fox picked up the hot tea in front of him, blew on the hot air from the cup, drank it, and then stuck out his tongue because it was too hot.
There was nothing remorseful about her laid-back attitude.
"Then you have to look at your priorities!"
Li Mo wasn't sure if he yelled, but he was indeed angry.
"Of course I have thought about my priorities."
The little fox's expression did not change at all because of Li Mo's anger. She put down the teacup in her hand and looked at Li Mo. Her calm demeanor actually made Li Mo feel that she was at fault.
"It is precisely because I have thought about it that I asked Lord Li Mo to deal with my problem first. What do you think of Lord Li Mo who actually went to deal with the matter in the suburban forest himself?"
The little fox didn't give any explanation, but asked Li Mo back, making Li Mo feel like he was betrayed.
Li Mo calmed down, and this time he spoke in a tone of equal discussion:
"Indeed, if I were to judge this matter, it would indeed be an urgent matter, but the fact that the lord's whereabouts are unknown should at least be informed to me."
He understood that the little fox never asked him anything about this matter after he came back from the suburban forest. This was entirely because the little fox believed that he had solved everything perfectly. She didn't need to worry about it. This was what she had given him. The greatest trust you have, then you should also respond to the corresponding trust.
And although I don't understand her intention, maybe the genius of the little fox can see further than the incompetent general like himself.
"But I think this matter is not worth reporting."
Another decisive answer.
"Tell me what you think, and I'll take it as a reference."
"Before talking about these questions..."
"Let's put other things aside and settle this matter first."
"Master Limo, you don't need to worry, because..."
"I know that if something happens to the lord, it is nothing more than accident, disease, abduction and assassination. No matter which one it is, it is impossible to hide it from others, but I learned it from your mouth This shows that the northern lord probably used his own consciousness to leave the public's sight."
What am I so anxious about?
Li Mo interrupted the little fox twice. He was aware of his anxiety, but he couldn't control it no matter what.
"As expected of Mr. Li Mo, although I want to say this, I would like to ask you to eat first. It is almost noon now. Mr. Li Mo hasn't even eaten breakfast yet. I will tell you while you are eating. .”
"Can......"
"Dine with...?!"
Because Li Mo and the little fox kept talking about boring things, the Demon King had already fallen asleep on the table, drooling.
But when the little fox said the word "dinner", he immediately woke up, and his stomach made a useless growl.
"I'm talking about you, Lord Demon King."
Li Mo felt his face was a little hot, he lowered his head and closed his eyes.
The shamelessness of this unknown creature named the Demon King was in sharp contrast to the considerateness of the little fox. He was really embarrassed to look at the little fox now.
"Haha, I know that the reason for Mr. Li Mo's anxiety is not for the lords in the north, let alone for the stability of the Demon King's Continent, but simply for someone in this hall. But if even the person in front of you at this moment If we can’t take care of them well, then what’s the point of talking about the future? Sometimes businessmen can’t take too long a view.”
His tone was as leisurely as usual, but everything was said by the little fox.
At the end of the day, I suddenly felt like I could retire.
"Although I'm not a businessman, okay, I understand, you take care of everything."
Looking at the Demon King next to him who was drooling after he failed, Li Mo tilted his head helplessly and expressed compromise.
The little fox nodded in response to Li Mo's thanks. She picked up the silver bell in her hand and shook it gently. Then someone pushed the dining cart in from the door. It seemed that the good people had been ordered to wait outside the door from the beginning.
Li Mo felt that sometimes she was such a scary person, as if everything could be predicted by her.
While sighing, Li Mo raised his head and found that the person pushing the dining cart was the sister of the fox demon twins who came to pick up himself and the Demon King in the morning.
Unlike in the morning, she had already braided her hair, which made it much easier to identify.
"Please use."
It seemed that the little fox had a separate meal system. The girl placed a small table with various dishes in front of her.
The dishes on the table were quite sumptuous. Not to mention the chef's skill, the ingredients were all expensive. As an expert, he could tell from the color and aroma.
"Ah, thank you..."
Li Mo was about to express his gratitude when he realized that the girl had already gone to the Demon King next to him to serve food.
He closed his mouth and scratched his head in embarrassment.
"oh oh!"
Just as the food was served, there was a fuss and exclamation from the Demon King.
"Look, look, Ali, what a luxurious dish!"
"I saw it, I saw it."
Aren't you all disgusted with other people's simple meals this morning? This person is really...
While dealing with the Demon King, Li Mo suddenly began to worry. What he was worried about was not that the food was not rich enough, but that the food here was too luxurious. What if the Demon King had a meal here and she asked for it in the future? Where can I fix these things for her?
His stomach suddenly started to hurt.
"Please use."
While he was holding his stomach, the voice of the twin girls sounded in his ears again.
It must have been someone who handed over the bowl of rice. He didn't want to miss the opportunity to say thank you and make others feel that he was rude, so he quickly reached out to hold the bowl and said:
"Thanks......"
Unfortunately, his thanks were stuck in his mouth again. This time it was not because the girl had left, but because of the bowl he was holding in his hand.
Li Mo looked at Lord Demon King and then at the bowl in his hand, frozen in place with a stiff smile.
How should I put it? My bowl is almost three times bigger than the normal bowl used by the Demon King. It can fit my head in it, and the rice inside is also full. After it was filled, it was so tight that half of it popped out. bowl.
What, what's going on?
Could it be that I was bullied because I made someone angry this morning? No, it's not possible, maybe it was just a joke.
Li Mo pretended to be calm and looked at the girl in front of him.
The girl had no expression on her face and looked at Li Mo blankly. Seeing that Li Mo kept looking at her, the girl tilted her head in confusion.
Sure enough, you are not kidding!
Sure enough, I was bullied!
The girl's clear but half-lidded eyes stared straight at Li Mo, making Li Mo a little embarrassed. Seeing Li Mo holding the bowl and smiling blankly, she spoke again:
"Please use."
"I......"
Just die! Do it, guys!
Feeling the girl's unwavering gaze, Li Mo hesitated again and again, then made up his mind to pick up the chopsticks and bring the bowl, no, the bucket of rice to his mouth.
ten minutes later--
thanks for treatment.
Mr. Li Mo, who left these words, rolled his eyes and dropped the clean bowl to the ground.
