According to the villagers, the foreign boss is from Guili. Although they don't know the boss's full name, at least they know that his surname is "Zhao".
Moreover, because the mine was banned due to "safety hazards", the boss was forced to close the mine. At the same time, the business also plummeted. Many miners lost their jobs and returned to the village. They learned from the miners that their bosses still owed money. The wages were not paid, but they said they were going to Yueyuan Island with the money, hoping to open up connections and find a solution.
When he heard the first two words at that time, Liao Zixuan was almost certain that the so-called foreign boss was Zhao Jie on the Astrologis.
As for the last one, it is completely consistent, not only with the location of Yueyuan Island, but also with this style of running away after bankruptcy. Judging from Zhao Jie's self-reported experience, it is obviously not the first time.
No wonder...
Through the first week of prison escape, we can find that Zhao Jie still has a lot of energy in Thousand Islands, but when he got off the Astologis, the Guili uncle acted very desperate, as if he was very anxious to do something. After receiving a large amount of money, he tried every means to get close to Luzi. This is also the reason why Zhao Jie approached Vivian.
At the end of the day, the reason is that there is still a part here.
Liao Zixuan had to sigh again that Qiandao is really small. Of course, it might be... the magic of fate, right?
He said he was going to find Zhao Jie, but before that, Liao Zixuan had not forgotten the large amount of saltpeter loot in the cargo hold of the ship. Just like the second week, it was all put into the backpack space before Liao Zixuan returned to the deck. layer.
Next, everything proceeds exactly the same as what happened in the previous two "cycles".
Yosuke Sakai led the people who followed the great emperor to surround the Astorogis, hoping to frame him for seizing power on the charge of smuggling saltpeter, and use the saltpeter to create an explosion to amplify the situation.
Unfortunately, after searching the cargo hold at the bottom of the ship to no avail, Yosuke Sakai, just like the second week, chose to use other crimes to barely replace him, and still took Luzi away. Moreover, Liao Zixuan also learned from the second week's Liudao Luo that this kid Later, he will apply for a wanted warrant for Vivian, who can be said to be a completely enemy camp figure.
However, Liao Zixuan couldn't deal with such a small character for the time being, so he could just let him wander around for a while. His main goal at the moment was to conquer the big boss, the Water God.
Huchi...huchi...
After Yosuke Sakai and his party left, the passengers on the Astologis quickly regained their freedom and began to carry their luggage and disembark.
The same is true for Zhao Jie. It can be seen that this middle-aged uncle is a little fat and doesn't pay much attention to exercise. He seems to be struggling to drag his suitcases from the cabin.
And this time...
"Uncle! Let me help you!" Zhao Jie, who was panting, suddenly heard a voice coming from behind him.
When he turned around, he saw a handsome young man smiling brightly at him, greeting him as if he were a familiar acquaintance.
Before he could speak in confusion, the young man stepped over him and carried his several rather heavy suitcases with great ease.
"Come on, uncle, why are you standing still? Or is there anything else?"
"Stop! Young man, you...just wait for me!" Zhao Jie finally found an opportunity to interrupt from the young man's strange enthusiasm.
"Young man, put your things down first. Hey, put them down!"
"It's okay, Uncle Zhao, I'm not tired. Just tell me, I'm listening."
you...!
Zhao Jie was a little angry at first, as anyone would do if their luggage was suddenly held in the hands of a stranger, but when he looked at Liao Zixuan with a big box in his hands, he still talked to him normally without blushing and didn't even talk to him when he picked it up. The weight is the same, Zhao Jie chose to follow his heart.
"That... young man, who are you? Why do you call me Uncle Zhao? Do we know each other?" Zhao Jie carefully looked at the young man again and finally couldn't help but ask.
At the same time, his brain was also running rapidly. As a shrewd businessman, Zhao Jie boarded the Astologis just to socialize. Naturally, he did not know all the passengers on the ship, but at least he was familiar with them. Therefore, he was very familiar with them. It is certain that the young man was not the original passenger on the ship. This is one of the doubts.
Secondly, the other party also knew his last name, and he looked like he was coming straight towards him. Although he seemed to be helping enthusiastically, in reality, he knew what was waiting for him. Zhao Jie, who had gone through many trials and hardships, had long been a Laoyoutiao, because of his status as a "debtor", is even more vigilant at all times.
only...
The young man's answer was completely beyond Zhao Jie's imagination.
"Uncle Zhao, someone once told me that after meeting you, no matter whether you recognize me or not, as long as I say the secret code "boiling water and cabbage", you will definitely help me."
After Liao Zixuan lowered his voice and finished speaking in Zhao Jie's ear, he felt a little relieved when he saw the reaction of this middle-aged Guili uncle who was immediately stunned, as if his brain had shut down and went blank.
The secret code of boiling water and cabbage can be traced back to the end of the week. After the little girl and her group had escaped from prison, in order to prevent Zhao Jie from taking risks with them again, they proposed to separate. It was at that time that Zhao Jie told Vivian this The one who gave the secret code said that even if the other person was gone, Vivian could rely on this secret code to borrow his power in Thousand Islands.
But now, due to time constraints, Vivian has left the Astologis. As a stranger, Liao Zixuan has the only way to gain Zhao Jie's trust as quickly as possible.
Of course, there are not no alternatives, such as turning back into a wolf cub in front of someone, such as directly using violence, etc., but they are obviously not as good as this.
It should...succeed, right?
Liao Zixuan could clearly feel that although the other party had not recovered from the shock, at least Zhao Jie was less wary of him.
After almost four or five seconds, Zhao Jie swallowed the smear and asked tremblingly with an expression of excitement and nervousness that was almost unbearable:
"Young man, can you tell me who...who told you this code?"
It's you!
Liao Zixuan wanted to say this, but he couldn't explain the loop, so he had to tell another little lie.
"Myolie." He said these two words softly to Zhao Jie.
At the beginning, Zhao Jie explained to the little girl that the origin of the strange code for boiled cabbage was precisely because it was the name of a dish that Zhao Jie and his daughter Xing'er liked most when she was a child.
Liao Zixuan had no choice but to say this here in order not to reveal his flaws.
But what Liao Zixuan didn't expect was that he did instantly gain Zhao Jie's full favorability, and even... it was so much more!
"Myolie! I knew it! Only Myolie can say those words and know this code!" Zhao Jie's face was filled with ecstasy.
It was an emotion similar to meeting an old friend in a foreign land. Zhao Jie had to leave his hometown and live overseas because of debts, and his heart had long been filled with longing. This can be seen from the family portrait pocket watch that he has always carried in his arms like a treasure. I can tell.
So now that he had met someone related to his daughter, Zhao Jie felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest!
"Tell me quickly, Xing'er, how is Xing'er doing?"
"She's...doing well."
"Myolie, has she grown very tall now?"
"Uh... Indeed, he is just a little shorter than me, and he has a good figure, tall and plump... Ahem, healthy!" Liao Zixuan hurriedly stopped and changed his words.
The original Zhao Jie would definitely have noticed, but now Zhao Jie is no longer the calculating businessman, but an empty-nest old father who is extremely eager to get information about his daughter.
Zhao Jie slapped his thigh suddenly.
"Haha! I know it, I know it! How much effort I put into chasing the child, and it really improved the bloodline of my old Zhao family, and it's almost as high as yours... Hahaha, my daughter is really Great!"
By the way, Zhao Jie himself only reached about Liao Zixuan's chest.
"that..."
Liao Zixuan originally wanted to get the topic back on track, but couldn't bear it. Zhao Jie's questions were like cannonballs, bombarding him one after another.
"How is Myolie's grades in school?"
"very good."
"Did you graduate successfully? You didn't stay, did you repeat the grade?"
"After graduation, the teachers praised her for being smart and a rare genius."
"Then what did she do after she came out of school?"
"She...went into business."
"Doing business... Haha, you are indeed the daughter of my old Zhao family, just like her father! Ah! No, wait, doing business is very risky. Myolie, she is okay, right!?"
"She... is very powerful. She has made a lot of money."
"Hahaha, she inherited her mother's beauty and figure, and her father's business acumen. Myolie, daddy is really proud of you!!"
Under Liao Zixuan's words, Zhao Jie was almost crazy with joy, completely immersed in his precious girl and couldn't extricate himself, until...
"Hmph, then there must be a lot of silly boys pursuing my daughter now!"
"There are indeed many, and they are all lined up from the beginning of the city to the end of the city." Liao Zixuan sighed in his heart and continued to compile it, just to make up for the guilt he felt towards Zhao Jie in the next show.
But who would have expected that his words immediately excited Zhao Jie. Liao Zixuan had not yet realized what he was most afraid of as a father with a daughter.
"Hahaha, she is indeed my bestie... Wait! No, no! It's broken... It's broken, it's broken! Considering her age, Myolie should be in the beginning of her love life now, and the person who pursues Myolie is so... There will always be one or two bastards who trick you into using sweet words, and if Xing'er really gets fooled..."
hiss!
Zhao Jie took a deep breath and didn't dare to think about it any more.
The joy just now disappeared in the blink of an eye, and turned into the gnashing of teeth now.
"Damn it! At such an important time, when my daughter needs me, I...I'm not around, I, I...damn it, damn it!!"
"Uncle Zhao, don't get excited, Myolie is not easily abducted by others..."
Before Liao Zixuan could finish his speechless words of comfort, he was blocked by Zhao Jie with a glare.
"What do you know! This is how I chased Xing'er's mother back then. How could I still know!?"
Liao Zixuan: "..."
"But then again...boy, what's your relationship with Myolie? How do you know so many things about Myolie!?" Zhao Jie seemed to have realized this problem at this time.
He looked Liao Zixuan up and down again, and the sense of vigilance that had disappeared emerged again. Of course, this vigilance was not that vigilance.
"Uncle Zhao, I just... am a very good friend of Xing'er."
"Ha!? Do you think your Uncle Zhao is a fool? He is also a very good friend? How deep does the relationship have to be for Myolie to even tell you the secret code between us?"
Zhao Jie was furious after hearing Liao Zixuan's answer. If you look carefully, you can find a strong feeling of heartache deep in his eyes.
That is the emotion that every father will have after seeing the cabbage he has raised for more than ten years being eaten by a pig.
"No, Uncle Zhao, you misunderstood, I really..." Liao Zixuan suddenly felt that the situation was developing in a direction beyond his control.
"Okay, stop talking! I still don't understand you young people today... all of them like to talk what they mean, but I tell you, to be a man, you must be responsible, and you must fulfill your promises, no matter whether it is to Business, and dealing with women, must have a beginning and an end, with one heart and one mind, do you understand!?”
Zhao Jie suddenly started preaching mode, with a serious and serious expression. Although Liao Zixuan wanted to complain very much, you, a person who ran away after debts, don't seem qualified to say this, but think about what Zhao Jie did in the first week, it is indeed a People who keep their word and pay attention to repaying kindness, so I nodded obediently.
"Uncle Zhao is right, I understand."
Not bad.
Seeing Liao Zixuan's humble attitude, Zhao Jie finally felt better. At least his daughter didn't find an arrogant asshole.
What! ? Knowing so much about Xing'er, Xing'er even told her the family secret code, and said she wasn't her daughter's lover? Not his son-in-law? Even if the other party doesn't mean this, his daughter is definitely interested in this brat!
Think about it too.
Even Zhao Jie had to admit that the young man in front of him was indeed tall and handsome. It could also be seen from the way he carried the luggage that he had first-class physical strength and was very strong.
Apart from his unknown family background, even his harsh old father could not find anything wrong with the young man.
Instead of worrying every day whether your daughter will be abducted by others, it is better to take a preemptive strike and choose a good ration daughter yourself! What's more, this person is actually the person my daughter likes!
When he thought of this, Zhao Jie's last "son-in-law" rejection of Liao Zixuan disappeared without a trace.
With his vicious eyes, he could tell that this young man seemed to be tepid towards Xing'er. If that was the case, he had to hurry up and provide assists to his daughter! Zhao Jie already had a strong sense of guilt towards his daughter, but now this guilt has turned into a strong motivation!
correct! Speaking of which...
"Did you just say that you need my help with something?"
Zhao Jie's eyes were full of enthusiasm and joy. In just a few minutes, the two parties seemed to have swapped identities. Zhao Jie strongly hoped to help Liao Zixuan solve the problem and strive to increase Liao Zixuan's favorability for his daughter. .

Return.
Qilin Pavilion.
There are three cults in Thousand Islands, and there are nobles, knights and Vulcan Cult in Yanyu.
As for the administrative agency of Guili, it is natural that it is the "Five Elements" of Guili.
The so-called Five Elements are named after the five-headed monsters and mythical beasts recorded in "The Emperor's Records: Strange Stories from the Mountains and Seas (Part 1)".
They are Qinglong Yamen, Zhuque Gate, Xuanwu Pass, Baihu Hall and the last... Qilin Pavilion.
And now, I don’t know how many gold coins have been spent on this magnificent and luxurious pavilion, which is made of extremely rare super-large suspended stones and floats in the air in Guili’s largest main city. It is one of the Five Elements of Guili...
Qilin Pavilion.
Standing here, you can have a panoramic view of the mountains and most of the entire city. Many people’s lifelong dream may be to climb this castle in the air once. But unfortunately, unless invited by the owner of the pavilion, ordinary people will not be able to climb it in their lifetime. No chance.
And speaking of the Pavilion Master.
The owner behind this ingenious building can be said to be an absolute big shot in the high-rise and middle-rise buildings in Guili. However, he has an identity and background that is as eye-catching and incredible as this sky loft.
First of all, it was a girl in her early twenties.
