What made Li Mo get up again was the faint scent of tea.
Li Mo prefers sweeter drinks than harsh green tea, but this does not prevent him from liking this light aroma.
The green tea placed in front of him was served by the Gemini girl. The tea stems in the cup stood up conspicuously. This was supposed to be a good sign, but Li Mo didn't feel that he was lucky at all.
The girl who was putting away her tableware in front of her was expressionless, but her tail behind her was wagging. She was obviously happy, right? !
To be honest, just looking at the girl's movements, she is really cute.
But Li Mo's back felt chilly, and his hand holding the tea cup couldn't help but tremble.
You are so happy to see yourself like this. You are really taking revenge on yourself. You are really being bullied. Isn't this kid too scary? !
"What's wrong? You've been feeling a little uneasy since just now."
"it's okay no problem!"
Faced with the little fox's concern, Li Mo used a forced smile to get over it.
Although there was no basis for it, he always felt the girl's gaze resting on him, giving him a chilling feeling. Li Mo's sense of crisis told him that it would be quite dangerous to say the wrong thing at this time.
"Ah, really? If you're not used to it, just tell me."
No, the little fox seemed to be hiding something. We couldn't talk about this topic anymore, so Li Mo decided to change the topic.
"Let's get down to business, little fox, you said you didn't think it was necessary to report the Northern Lords' matters to me, right?"
"yes."
The little fox nodded.
"I want to hear your thoughts. There is no need to be taboo about anything. Just say whatever you think."
"Now that you have spoken, let me speak frankly. The reason why I feel there is no need to report is that I feel that the land of water is terrible from top to bottom. I don't need to go through the reasons one by one. The adults also understand."
Of course Li Mo understood the reason. Since he could guess it, the little fox must also guess it.
The northern lords escaped from people's sight by their own will. In fact, to put it simply, it meant leaving their posts without permission. It is not surprising that this kind of behavior makes people angry.
"Not just the lord, but also the people below. The biggest festival in the entire continent is in two days. The more critical the period is, the less we should take it lightly, but they were able to lose the lord at this time. It’s true how stupid the guys above are, the people below are no better.”
The little fox slapped the folding fan on the table and almost knocked over her tea cup. It looked like she had been holding back a lot of anger.
But it's no wonder that she is so angry. She is an excellent person, so she will naturally demand the lords of other places in the same way as she demands herself.
Moreover, not only did the lords of other places neglect their duties, but their subordinates also concealed the incident and failed to report it. In this way, they also tried to use this method to get her, the lord of other places, to contribute to calming down the incident.
Just like if you have the financial and manpower, you should wipe the butt of others. This feeling of being treated as a convenient tool is uncomfortable for anyone.
"There's no need to talk about it to this extent. It's still right to keep a low profile as much as possible about the disappearance of the lord."
While thinking, Li Mo inadvertently picked up the tea cup and took a small sip. The sweet taste overshadowed the astringent taste.
Surprisingly delicious.
Only then did he suddenly remember that this was the tea served by Sister Demon Fox.
It shouldn't be poisonous, right?
Li Mo looked at the teacup and couldn't help but feel worried.
"Lord Li Mo, you are just too soft-hearted. This kind of thing should not be considered with human feelings. If you don't make a ruthless decision, you will cause a lot of trouble."
"You are too hard-hearted, right? Also, you want me to..."
"Yes, that's what I mean. Although the Demon King's City cannot directly interfere in the internal affairs of the four regions, it has the right to impeach the lord. A useless lord like this needs such means."
Seeing that Li Mo was embarrassed to speak, the little fox took the initiative to pick up the conversation.
"Anyway, this is too much, and this right must be exercised with the approval of two of the lords of the other three lands. If you use this right directly without considering the special circumstances, the other lords will not agree. of."
"Master Limo, there is nothing to worry about. Just leave everything to me."
It was impossible to interfere in the internal affairs of other regions, but Li Mo always felt that the little fox's nonchalant promise had an inexplicable deterrent effect.
If she really made her unhappy, the economy of other regions would probably collapse within three days. Li Mo quickly spoke up to stop her:
"No, no, no, no, put away your money. I have completely understood your thoughts. Your thoughts are too focused on gains and losses, just like a businessman."
"Lord Limo, don't you remember? Although I am respectfully called a witch by the residents of the Wind Land, I am actually a businessman. Making trade-offs based on the value of interests is my strength."
"Then I have said it before, I am not a businessman, so I will not just calculate the profit and loss of profits."
"Hehehe."
The little fox suddenly laughed, very sweetly.
She was not angry because Li Mo had different opinions than her own. She liked people who had different opinions from hers. Such people complemented each other and were more suitable in a sense. Besides, this person was still Li Mo.
"Then, there is another question. I would like to ask Mr. Limo, do you know who the lord of the north is?"
“Eh, eh——!!!”
It took a few seconds for Li Mo to call out.
"Don't you mean, little fox, you don't know either?!"
The little fox spread her hands in agreement, and spoke in a very aggrieved voice:
"Let's not mention my concubine for now. Master Li Mo, who is obviously in charge of the Demon King's City, doesn't know about it. This is going to be difficult."
"Let me say it first. It's not my fault. The current lord of Water Land was appointed three years ago. He was personally recommended by the old lord of Water Land. I originally wanted to meet him, but every time He excused me because he was not feeling well, and in the water land, it will snow and the roads will be closed in winter, so how can I have so much time to find him."
Although it sounds like he is shirking responsibility, what Li Mo said is true. He has contacted the lord of Water Land many times, but to no avail.
However, the tax payment situation of Water Land has been very good every year, even much higher than when the old lord was in power. There has never been a default, and there have been no major accidents in the region. And because the old lord has guaranteed the tax , so Li Mo turned a blind eye until today.
"The situation on my side is similar to that of Mr. Li Mo. The other party declined the meeting with me because of physical discomfort. Now that I think about it, he is really a suspicious guy. I wonder if he was planning something when he disappeared this time. Sure enough, he still followed the rules My method..."
"Ah, ah, it's true, the more we discuss, the more trouble we get!"
Li Mo suddenly shook his head.
At this time, he really envied the Demon King who could fall asleep at any time. If he could do it all over again, he would be a lazy guy.
"Stop talking, my head is too big, I want to go out and relax!"
Li Mo patted his numb thighs, stood up on the tatami, and walked out the door.
"Please wait a moment, where are you going?"
The little fox hurriedly chased after him, and finally stopped Li Mo at the door.
Li Mo jumped into the garden of the other courtyard and looked at the clear and sunny sky in the land of wind. The feeling of the sun shining on his body made people feel the arrival of spring.
He stretched out his belly and said to the little fox:
"Go north and see the snow again."
