Xia Houyan never asked what kind of agreement Mu Xiaobao had reached with the people in Golden City. The only thing he could know was that he saw Vega's dark face.
The guy who originally only had alienation and contempt for Cang Yao's people, now his attitude has changed a lot, but unfortunately not in a good way.
This can only mean that Mu Xiaobao taught him a lesson on how to correctly understand the merchants of the Cangyao Dynasty.
These days, Mu Lingbo, mother and son are also busy. Mu Lingbo is often missing. Mu Xiaobao is naturally with Su Qing, eating and drinking in the name of discussing business.
"Xia Houyan, I noticed that you have been very leisurely recently?"
The bright moon was in the sky, and it was another seemingly peaceful night.
Mu Lingbo appeared in the clear light and caught a glimpse of Xia Houyan, who was drinking alone in the small courtyard. He seemed to be waiting for someone.
She jumped up and landed lightly behind him.
After repeatedly asking what she was up to but not getting a response, Xia Houyan was no longer surprised by her way of coming and going without a trace. He slowly shook his folding fan and said, "It's okay, okay, just treat it as such."
I just want to take some time off here, so I don’t have to worry about my entire Cangyao Dynasty business.”
Mu Lingbo pursed his lips and smiled, as if he was surrounded by a faint halo under the moonlight.
Turning a deaf ear to his emphasis on 'the entire Cangyao Dynasty's business'.
"Are you waiting for someone?"
"If it weren't for the mistake that the big devil told me, I wouldn't be trapped here with you." Xia Houyan's melancholy expression rippled on his face like mutton-fat white jade, but there was a faint look at the corner of his mouth.
He smiled as if he was detached, "Although this is already your territory, I don't mind. As for the title of Cang Yao's richest man, I have held it for many years, so of course I no longer care about these illusory things.
."
Mu Lingbo lowered his feet and sat down on the glazed round table in front of him, with his legs dangling in the air. He lowered his head and sniffed with his nose, "It's really weird that you put such a good wine aside and don't drink it. You're not waiting for someone."
I'm not asking you why you're still staying in Yeliang. You haven't settled my affairs yet, so it's not that easy for you to leave. Who are you waiting for?"
Xia Houyan smiled mysteriously and pointed at the pot of wine with his folding fan, "Do you know what kind of wine this is?"
"I don't know." She answered very simply, "Just know how delicious it is. Who would have to memorize so many names if you choose this or that."
"It doesn't matter if I don't know the name of the Eight Drunken Immortals, but this is a famous drink." Xia Houyan took a few steps closer and lowered his voice, "Most people can't drink much."
Mu Lingbo rolled his eyes, "Which girl do you like, who wants to use wine to win over you?"
Xia Houyan's head was full of black lines, "I'm not Su Qing."
Mu Lingbo looked at him meaningfully and smiled, "That's right. I've known you for so long and yet I haven't seen you show any admiration for the opposite sex. Even if you try to avoid your father-in-law's well-intentioned urgings, it's really a big problem."
"What on earth did you have in mind? This is obviously not the same thing."
"It's nothing." She smiled when she saw Xia Houyan gritting his teeth and saying nothing, "I won't misunderstand you. After all, there are two beautiful little lolita beside you. It is precisely because they have been away recently that I thought
You are lonely and empty, just waiting for someone to drink."
Xia Houyan was almost exhausted after listening to her nonsense, so he quickly interrupted, "I'm not waiting for a woman!"
Mu Lingbo suddenly raised his eyebrows, with a clearly surprised expression, but he only softly uttered the word "oh".
Xia Houyan was completely unaware of the meaning, and asked again, "Your son has been close to Su Qing for so long, do you know why they came to Yeliang Country?"
"I don't know." She only thought for a moment before answering decisively.
During this period, I have been secretly inquiring about the Night Luo Jiao, but not many people in Golden City paid much attention to it.
Xia Houyan finally regained some of his sense of dignity and said proudly, "I know."
"So what? Is this something worth being so proud of?"
Xia Houyan flapped his fan fiercely, but it was powerless, "Do you know who Su Qing is? If a person of his status comes to Yeliang in person, he should pay special attention to it! You don't know anything, right?"
"I don't know." Mu Lingbo glanced at him, "The point is that I don't care either."
Xia Houyan almost fell to the ground, so was she really letting Mu Xiaobao play a business game?
"Then you still let Xiaobao follow him all day long? You can't really let Xiaobao, a child, handle all the business related to the Western Regions, right? Do you trust him so much?"
"He is rich! Xiaobao eats and drinks well, Xiaobao is happy, and I save money, that's enough!" Mu Lingbo said disapprovingly, "As for business, this little thing doesn't matter, he always has to do the actual work
Among them, those who have accumulated experience will not become fat with just one bite. Once he has more experience, he will naturally be able to convince me in the future."
Xia Houyan told himself again that he must not use common sense to infer this mother and son.
The secret exchange of business between Golden City and the Cangyao Dynasty was like a super earthquake in the underground black market. She actually downplayed such a trivial matter??
He naturally didn't expect that in Mu Lingbo's eyes, this kind of underground secret agreement was just an opportunity to open the door to the Western Region. If they really wanted to do something, how could they be willing to just open up a black market channel.
If Holy Land City prohibits communication with the Western Regions, then they will remove this thorn in their side.
Whether it was because she was someone who seriously should not exist in Shenglin City, or because of the hostility between Mu Xiaobao, Mo Jiuling and Shenglin City, they had no way out.
Either hide and flee, or fight for themselves so that they can proudly stand up publicly in this country instead of hiding in the shadows forever.
For them, temporary tolerance is never a retreat in the face of power, but a way to one day stand stronger and fearless in front of the expulsors.
"Then tell me, who is Su Qing?" Seeing Xia Houyan's speechless face, Mu Lingbo asked casually.
"One of the guardians of the Golden City." Xia Houyan's original interest had already been dampened, and his tone of voice became much more gloomy. "There are many differences between the Golden City and Cang Yao. In short, you know that it is a very high status.
That’s it. Second only to the great city lords and city-state alliance lords. Let me tell you that he came to Cangyao to meet someone. He arrived early because of his long-standing interest in Cangyao. And the person he wanted to see was
Well, I just found out about it not long ago, so I’m waiting for him.”
Mu Lingbo raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Aren't you always afraid that we will steal your business? Why did you kindly tell me this this time?"
"Because you actually know this person." His tone revealed some helplessness.
