The day after the two talked, early in the morning, Mona said goodbye to a nasty little girl who was stubborn and stubbornly unwilling to get up, not even wanting to see her for the last time before parting. With a happy mood and the terrifying wealth of a country that is truly rich, he embarked on the journey to Mond.

After leaving Wangshu Inn, Mona walked north along the avenue, passed Dihuazhou, and soon arrived at the rocky and difficult mountain road in Shimen Town.

As the name suggests, 'Shimen' means a gate made of stone.

When you reach Shimen Town, continue to the south is the boundary of Liyue, and if you go north, it is the free state of Namond's "wind and dandelion"!

Shimen, a naturally formed moat, is like the land portal of Liyue, and has always been firmly guarded at the junction of the two countries.

It took Mona three days and three nights to walk from Wangshu Inn to Shimen!

And this is also because she has a fast footstep and uses the water element for short-distance teleportation from time to time. If she travels like that ordinary business trip, it will not take ten days or eight days to walk from Wangshu Inn to Shimen. Don't even think about it, and if you still carry a lot of cargo and vehicles, it will only be longer.

But no matter what, after Mona spent two nights in the wild, tonight, she finally didn't have to suffer from the dew and cold wind that night.

Because, she saw that there seemed to be a big tea stall on the plank road in front?

Although it is unlikely that there will be an inn here, it would be very nice and comfortable to have a shed where she could sit all night and drink a big bowl of hot soup and wait for the morning.

"Hello!"

"Father!"

"Excuse me…"

"What are you selling?"

Mona stepped forward quickly and unceremoniously, first looking at the businessmen and women who were also sitting at the tables not far away, drinking tea and resting and whispering something, and then walked to the place. The little old man who was looking at her with a smile like a shopkeeper asked softly.

"Yo!"

"Girl, didn't you see it?"

"Big bowl of tea!"

The old man did not answer directly, but smiled cheerfully and pointed to the flag signboard that was made of a large piece of oilcloth and hung high on the flagpole, waving in the wind.

"what?"

"Big bowl of tea?"

Mona was a little embarrassed.

But it's not her fault. After all, it's very dark outside at night, and she's not a native of Liyue, so why would she have the habit of looking at what's written on the sign?

"girl!"

"The dew is heavy at night, especially in the area of ​​Bishuiyuan. Come here, please come and sit here first..."

"cough!"

"It must be very tiring to run outside alone at such a young age?"

"What do you want?"

However, the old man didn't mind, just warmly greeted Mona to do it in the shed made of tarpaulin and wood, and asked.

"certainly!"

"Give me something to eat!"

"Noodles and wontons are fine."

"Anyway, as long as it's that hot!"

Without thinking about it, Mona first sat down on the small square stool before she hurriedly said.

"Noodle wontons?"

"But…"

"Little old man, there is no such thing to eat, only the big bowl of camellia that I picked myself."

"Almost forgot."

"There are still some tea eggs left over from Aunt Qiao's sale during the day. It should be still warm just after the fire was turned off. If you don't mind, girl, why don't you serve a few?"

However, what surprised Mona was that the hot noodles or wontons she imagined were not available here.

"cough!"

"Little old man only sells tea here..."

"If you come later, girl, I'm afraid you won't even have a sip of hot tea!"

"It's getting dark, and the little old man has to close the stall and go back to rest."

It seemed that he understood the surprise and disappointment on Mona's face, so the old man shook his head and explained it so bitterly.

"That…"

"Just bring me two big bowls of tea!"

"Do not!"

"Let's just have a big pot!"

"Then…"

"Bring me a big bowl of tea eggs too!"

"That's all!"

Thinking that she is already rich now, and thinking that the long night is a bit difficult, Mona ignored it and took out a Mora with a face value of 10,000, shot it on the table, and ordered a large pot. The hot tea is served with a bowl of tea eggs, ready to make do with some jerky she carried with her, and then spend the night in this tea shed, and then continue to climb the mountain and pass through the Shimen to Mond's after dawn tomorrow. direction to go.

"okay!"

"Wait, girl, you'll be here soon!"

After grabbing the brand-new coin that Mona slapped on the table, the little old man was unequivocal, and turned around and went to work slowly in his tea booth.

"call!"

"At this rate..."

"I should be able to arrive at Mond City in another three days. Then, I can take a good rest for a few days at that time. After I recharge my batteries and adjust my state, I will go to that Lisa for a test!"

"That's right!"

"That's it!"

In her spare time, Mona also began to carefully plan her own next itinerary and some arrangements.

Moreover, at this time, she still stubbornly believed that the successor of the old woman and master she was looking for must be the genius witch Lisa Mintz, the once-in-a-two-hundred-years encounter of the Sumeru Academy!

In this regard, she has worked hard to formulate a whole set of countermeasures and countermeasures in the past three days, in order to beat the opponent in the competition, and then, when she goes back to cross the line, she can be in front of the old woman. Have a good chat?

"…"

"Well?"

At this time, without waiting for Mona to continue to think about some details, she was shocked to find:

Very abruptly, a woman with long white-blond hair curled in a black-and-gold hairpin, wearing a gorgeous golden, white, and black cheongsam, with her legs exposed, and a woman with a red tattoo on her left leg actually wears it. A maid with glasses and a dark red cheongsam dress like the uniform of Liyue General Affairs Secretary walked to her table and sat directly opposite her?

"You are…"

"!"

"and many more!"

"Are you that Heavenly Power Ningguang?!"

Then, Mona sucked in a breath of cold air, and the moment she recognized the other party, she immediately stood up from the seat.

"Oh?"

"You recognize me?"

"Alright!"

"It can save a lot of lips and tongues."

The woman with long white-blond hair was stunned for a moment, then smiled sweetly, and motioned to Mona not to be too nervous, as if she was the master here.

but…

In fact, maybe she really is the master of Liyue?

"…"

Mona didn't sit down as she said, but continued to stare at each other with a frown.

She was full of vigilance, not knowing what the imposing woman who was sitting across from her with her legs crossed and the maid standing behind her came to look for her.

"Um?"

"What are you afraid of?"

"I guess you wouldn't mind taking a seat, right?"

He crossed his hands and fingers together, and then Ning Guang, who was sitting comfortably with his legs crossed, laughed and teased Mona, and asked like a general.

"…"

"Humph!"

"What am I afraid of?"

Sure enough, when she heard this, Mona was annoyed, and then she sat back with a black face.

"Speak!"

"What's the matter with you?"

"There are still so many empty seats here, and we don't know each other. I'm afraid it's not as simple as coming to share a seat, Master Ningguang, right?"

"and also!"

"I can see that you should have made a special trip to wait for me here?"

Although she had already sat down, Mona was still full of vigilance, and while secretly guarding herself, she directly exposed the two and asked straight to the point.

"In such a hurry?"

Tianquan Ningguang didn't have too many surprises on his face, but when he looked at Mona, there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes.

"Alright alright!"

"Then I won't go around in circles."

"Is such that…"

"There's something I wanted to discuss with you, but I thought about it when I was in Wangshu Inn, but unfortunately you were in such a hurry that day, you even used the water element transmission, and my people couldn't catch up all the way. I had no choice but to come here overnight and wait."

Lap shoulders, talking about the events of the past three days, Ningguang couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

After all, she never imagined that she, who has so much control over Liyue, almost lost the astrologer in front of her, and if she didn't go to Mond, there would be only such a relatively normal road to pass through. If so, maybe the two of them will really miss each other, right?

"discuss?"

"What's the matter?"

Mona wouldn't say that she was rushing to Mond to perform a mission, so she frequently used teleportation spells on the road. However, someone wanted to intercept her, which she never thought of.

"…"

Smiling, Ningguang looked at Mona without speaking.

She just kept silent until the big bowl of tea stall owner Zhou Laotou brought a pot of hot tea, two large empty bowls and a bowl of tea eggs and turned away, she didn't even want to take the aggressive tea leaves. The sight is meant to be taken back.

"…"

Seeing this, Mona, who has always easily admitted defeat, of course glared back **** for tat.

"All right!"

"That's it, about those Mora you're carrying..."

Finally, Ning Guang, who knew that it was just a waste of time to keep staring with big eyes, couldn't help but speak first.

In her opinion, whether it's price negotiation or business war games, momentum and chips are actually secondary. If you want to win, you need to know your opponent's cards first.

Unfortunately, before she came here, she had already gathered a certain little girl and various channels to learn about the astrologer's trump card in front of her, so there is no need to put on a pretense or something.

"!"

"Mora?!"

Hearing this, Mona widened her eyes, her pupils shrank suddenly and stood up again, at the same time, the water elements on her body also began to converge and resonate under the action of her God's Eye, and there was a big disagreement. The trend to start playing.

"Um?"

Seeing Mona's performance, Ningguang doesn't mean anything.

"Ah!"

"Don't be nervous..."

"We don't have any ill will. I also heard about it from Annie, and then I came to you specially."

"I know the counterfeit coins are from Anne."

"She gave you a lot, didn't she?"

"how many?"

Then, after a playful chuckle and a reassuring explanation, she asked with great interest, as if she was very curious about an answer.

"How much does it concern you?"

"Want to know, why didn't you go to Annie?"

"She has more!"

Mona didn't answer the question, just mocked so coldly.

As for how much of the "counterfeit" Mora she had, Mona said that apart from Annie and she knew about it, no third person would know about it.

because…

Some things are secrets if only one person knows them, and may remain secrets if two people know them, but when a third person knows them, they are no longer secrets.

Besides, she is not stupid!

Such a large amount of wealth, if it is publicized, it will cause trouble to her in the future, I am afraid it is not just as simple as the current ruler of Liyue, 'Tianquan' condensed light, when the time comes, I am afraid there will be Countless people would go to great lengths to kill him and take those things out of her hands!

"I know Annie has a lot more, but I'm discussing it with you now."

"Can you sit down first?"

"I'm not here to trouble you, I'm here to discuss cooperation."

"real!"

Shaking his head, he made some helpless reassurances to Mona, and then Ningguang showed his sympathy, leaned out with a smile, grabbed the teapot on the table and poured a half bowl of tea for Mona.

However, she did not pour herself a bowl.

Because ah, that tea bowl is too rough, not delicate at all, and there are still tea stains on it, although she is not very keen on diet, and she eats relatively light food on weekdays, but when drinking tea, she is still used to using that kind of tea. Fine white jade china, not the sea bowls used by the traders and pawns.

"??"

"Cooperation?"

"How are you going to cooperate?"

"and also!"

"Why should I work with you?"

Mona didn't accept the other party's kindness, and she didn't dare to touch the bowl of tea. She just sat down slowly with a cold face, stared at the other party's face, and asked coldly word by word.

"I have a plan, but I need your cooperation, Miss Mona."

"Is such that…"

Seeing that Mona was still so vigilant and maintained that faint hostility, Ningguang had no choice but to say a little bit of some of her immature thoughts.

After a few minutes…

"!"

"Why don't you go grab it?!"

However, without waiting for the other party to finish the cooperation plan, Mona, who heard a certain point, stood up again angrily and shouted angrily.

"Shh..."

"Miss Mona, can't you be more calm?"

Ningguang looked a little embarrassedly at the business travelers who were attracted by the sound and looked at them apologetically not far from the tea stall, and then reluctantly looked at Mona and whispered. Angrily.

"you!"

"You guys actually want to change my Mora one by one, and you still want me to be steady?"

"what!"

"It's really a good abacus, as expected of Tianquan Ningguang, he really knows how to do business!"

Mona sneered through gritted teeth and tried her best to give the other party a contemptuous look and a very disdainful expression.

She thought that the other party was really here to discuss things and cooperate, but she still wanted to do that kind of business of buying and selling by force. They really thought her Mona was a good bully?

Although she really couldn't break her arms with the 'Tianquan' Ningguang in front of Liyue's place, but once she left, even if the other party was 'Tianquan' Ningguang, I'm afraid she couldn't help her, right?

"But…"

"You are fake money"

After a pause, Ning Guang, who was sitting opposite, reminded cautiously.

"Feel sorry!"

"It's not up to you whether it's counterfeit or not!"

She raised her brows, and then, Mona sat down slowly with a sneer, then glared back at the other party without any counsel, and sneered:

"I remember that no one in this world has ever admitted that only you Liyue and the Golden House can mint coins!"

"And the reason why only Mora circulates in the whole world is that it is not only a precious metal, but also the best catalyst. At present, there is no country that can infuse the power of the rock **** at a low cost like your Liyue. I didn't say it. wrong?"

"if…"

Mona stared at the other party's face and sneered fiercely, and said an immature idea she had just thought of.

"If I wear off the writing on those gold coins, presumably, they must also be used as real money, what do you think?"

"even…"

"I can also re-engrave the face value. Just engrave 200,000 for the time being. The name is 'Mona' money. Do you think anyone is willing to exchange the real 200,000 Mora for me?"

The other party wanted to exchange that kind of coins with her one-to-one. Does she really think she is a three-year-old?

Although she does have a lot of "counterfeit coins" now, and there are so many that she will never be able to spend it, but that does not mean that she can be slaughtered by others!

"Is that refusal?"

Holding his arms, Tianquan Ningguang was noncommittal.

"Humph!"

Mona didn't say much, but was ready to fight back at any time and use her water elemental teleportation flash to escape at any time.

"All right"

As a last resort, Ningguang sighed and also stood up.

"how?"

"See the picture, want to grab it?"

"Don't say you didn't remind me!"

"If it's just the two of you, I'm afraid it won't be easy?"

Mona continued to sneer.

If there are Qianyan Army or other Liyue Seven Stars ambushing around, she will definitely turn around and run without saying it, but if there is only this master and servant in front of her, she will not take it too seriously.

"Do not!"

"On the contrary!"

"My principle has always been: If you can use Mora to solve things, you don't need to use "God's Eye"! "

"And now, we are still in an important part of business negotiations. At present, there are only some differences in interests, so..."

"Since you don't agree with the first plan, let's start discussing the second plan,"

Saying that, Ningguang waved his hand, and turned his head to wink at Baishi behind him.

"The specific plan is here."

"Please take a look at Miss Mona!"

That one hundred knowledge is not too talkative, just twisted his waist and walked forward, and put a document that had been drawn up long ago on the same rough tea table that was simply polished from solid wood.

"??"

"You are..."

Mona was stunned, the momentum and water element brewing in her body suffocated, and then her expression became a little embarrassed and puzzled.

"Miss Mona."

"I also know that you may be rich now, even richer than me?"

"but…"

"You shouldn't mind finding a new investment and a partner, right?"

"No matter what, Mora isn't too much, is it?"

Niangguang asked with a smile, and motioned to Mona to look at the document, because the specifics were written in it, and she believed that the other party would agree to it after reading it. It was a win-win agreement, and it was a win-win agreement. The oral proposal was completely different.

"…"

Mona didn't speak, didn't rush to read the document, just frowned and thought.

"have a look!"

"You should be interested in this plan, although we can't give you too much Mora, but..."

"You wouldn't be interested in taking a stake in the Golden House business, would you?"

"If you miss it, you won't have another chance."

Seeing that Mona was indifferent, Ningguang stretched out his hand again and gestured with his eyes. At the same time, he sat back again and raised his comfortable and charming Erlang's legs again.

"!"

"Share in the golden house?"

"…"

I was shocked and fell silent for a while, seeing that the two of them really didn't mean to do anything, and there didn't seem to be any Qianyan Army or other Liyue Seven Stars ambushing around, so Mona thought about it, and then Still unable to hold back the curiosity and temptation in his heart, he also sat back and picked up the document and looked at it ten lines at a time.
