The Riddler Get Out of Terra

"You!"

Wei Yanwu's serious face was deflated. He pointed at Hao Zhao with his fingers in a daze, but he was able to pick it up and put it down. In front of Hao Zhao, he used his free hand to wipe away the tears that he did not dare to show to others. Wipe dry.

Wen Yue saw that Chen had lost weight, how could Wei Yanwu not see it?Wei Gong, whose swordsmanship was so good that he was famous throughout Dayan, could only see more than his wife, and he could see through the well-hidden scars and habits of Chen's hardships.

Chen's birth was owed to no one. It would be better to say that all the participants except his sister who was driven almost crazy, all owed Chen a share.

Wei Yanwu protects Tallulah, Wen Yue supports her husband, the Rat King knows everything about Edward, Tallulah doesn't know but is undoubtedly protected by Chen's birth...

It's just that Chen can't live with it. He always feels that he owes Wei Yanwu and Wen Yue for their upbringing. He also firmly remembers Tallulah who was taken away by the black snake, and like a child he doesn't want to let go.

Therefore, she put on new clothes and took care of herself, not wanting Wei Yanwu and Mrs. Wenyue to see her embarrassment, but how could the two people who were extremely worried about her not see her?

Seeing Chen's cautious look, even a tough guy like Wei Yanwu, who always showed his dignity to others, had tears firmly in his eyes.

He has become accustomed to the behavior pattern of getting along with others except Wen Yue with a serious face, and can no longer expose much of his true temperament to others.

Hao Zhao's joke provided him with an outlet, and Wei Yanwu seized the opportunity to erase the fragility of his scaly claw.

"Wenyuan, when you come back this time, do you want to take root in Longmen?" Lao Long put down his cup and asked in the silence.

Hao Zhao has found Chen and is the benefactor of Wei Yanwu and Wen Yue. Everyone in charge of Longmen will accept Hao Zhao for this. If Orange Cat nods in agreement, Wei Yanwu is immediately willing to take him deep into Longmen's political situation and make everyone aware of the past. Director Hao is now a rising political star trusted by Duke Wei.

The great situation was shown to Hao Zhao by Wei Gong. As long as he nodded, he would advance rapidly as the director of the Guards Bureau in Longmen and become a popular figure in the second generation circle of Longmen.

only……

"If Mr. Wei said this before the trip, I would be really rude."

Hao Zhao raised his lower lip, pressed his lowered upper lip, and spoke softly.

Old Long's calm expression was suffocated, but he sighed understandingly, and regretfully continued what Hao Zhaowei had finished:

"Well, young people go out to see the world, increase their knowledge and sharpen their minds, and they will naturally have lofty ambitions. After Wenyuan left, I saw so much in Yan country, and the thoughts in my heart are much more than when I was young - —At that time, I only learned about the customs and customs of various places in Dayan from books."

"So... you are going to the inland? I also have many old friends in the inland, and I can introduce them to Wenyuan. If Wenyuan is interested in an official career, I also hope to have the opportunity to be Wenyuan's guide."

Wei Gong, who was secretive about his past experiences, looked at Hao Zhao sincerely. The beast head that had returned to the dragon clan had an inexplicable look of kindness. There was no doubt that Hao Zhao's action of rescuing Chen made the middle-aged politician extremely grateful. , who is willing to lend him some of his past power - someone recommended by Duke Wei himself. Those who are willing to help Hao Zhao in the court will even include the one at the top of the temple!

But Hao Zhao still refused:

"If I hadn't really traveled all over the Yan Kingdom and seen many things I couldn't see on ordinary days, I would have been ecstatic and grateful to Duke Wei for his favor and help to me, but..."

The orange cat sighed and shook his head, then raised his resolute face, and looked at the old dragon with his golden pupils, the resilience from his soul carrying an extraordinary weight:

"Of course a Yanguo person will be proud of Yanguo, even if he is just a screw waiting to be worn in this country. I should be so, and it is true, but I have seen other things and gained the respect of some people. Invitation, so I plan to go out for a walk.”

"Go out for a walk?"

Wei Yanwu was rarely interested, no, it could even be said that he understood Hao Zhao's decision - whether it was the information investigated by Yazhongxia or Rosemary, the leader of the Dragon Gate met Wen Yue while traveling to various countries. Madam, she got acquainted with Edward Artelias, and finally defeated the Duke of Cosiche with her friends and brought Longmen under the rule of Dayan.

How could such a person not accept it when he heard that someone also wanted to travel outside the Yan Kingdom?

"Yes, Victoria, Letania, Ursus, Colombia... I want to go to these places to see what the shortcomings of Terra are and what I can do about it."

Hao Zhao noticed the sparkle in Wei Yanwu's eyes when he mentioned Victoria and Ursus, but now this kind of thing is no longer needed, and his duty is no longer to be a feathered spy who infiltrates the Yan Kingdom, but to stop Ursus. For Hao Zhao, the analysis of Wei Yanwu's information is no longer a concern for him.

"It's a good thing to go out for a walk. If I hadn't traveled in my early years, I wouldn't have met Wen Yue. Xiao Chen went to Victoria to study, and the girl from Shi Huaiya's family also stayed in Victoria. Wen Yuan wanted to go out and see Look, it’s very suitable.”

Old Long's memory was fleeting, and the next second he happily raised his cup and bumped it with Hao Zhao, saying to him:

"If you are tired, go back to Longmen. Longmen will always be your home!"

I hope you will think the same thing when you find out what I will do next.

Hao Zhao also smiled and drank with Wei Gong, but his mind had already reached the not-too-distant future.

3Chapter 16 Starry night, exactly starry night

"My guess is that the old man must have something to say when he waited for me so late, but he couldn't say it, so he could only explore the bottom first and then try to talk specifically. Am I right in my guess?"

After opening the door curtain, the wind chimes of Lin's Candy Shop were still ringing. Hao Zhao walked in with his chest raised and his head raised, his voice faster than his movements.

"You kid, you're still so cunning!"

Lin Gerui watched helplessly as Hao Zhao walked over without noticing anything, grabbed a handful from the candy jar, picked one at random, peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed it into his mouth, sighing and shaking his head.

"It seems that it's not your problem, Mr. Lin. If what I expected is correct, I'm afraid there is something wrong with Miss Lin that she doesn't understand. She wants to talk to me."

Hao Zhao puffed up his cheeks and fiddled with the apple-flavored candies with his tongue. He became kind to children as he got older, and Lin's Candy Shop became a paradise for children in Xiacheng District with its low prices and high loss-making costs.

The orange cat knew old Zalak. If it was his own trouble, let alone he would grab a lot of it now. Old man Lin might not even bother to leave a candy wrapper for Hao Zhao. When the order in Xiacheng District was reorganized, the two of them had a tacit understanding but were alienated. The cooperation provided rich experience guidance for this exchange.

Otherwise, how could the orange cat have happened to see a jar full of multi-flavored candies on the counter?If the Rat King didn't stock the lower city with liquor, it would be considered Penguin Logistics. That penguin didn't restock the bar that day!

Since it's not the Rat King's problem, the only one who can make him hint so obliquely is his precious daughter Lin Yuxia, Miss Lin.

"Actually, old man, you don't need to protect Miss Lin like this. You are not a child anymore. You should understand how to look at something. Now you can only look away for a while. Give her some time to compare. Any comfort is welcome.”

Lin Yuxia's abnormality may not be noticeable in the entire banquet, but who is the orange cat?Lin Yuxia and Shi Huaiya's little tricks couldn't be hidden from the former director of the Xiacheng District Guards Bureau.

But he didn't want to have anything to do with these two people at all, and he didn't bother to care about the strange ideas of the little tiger and the little mouse.

However, after all, they had cooperated well with the Rat King, and the old man was worried about his daughter, so Hao Zhao was happy to do the favor.

"I also know, who hasn't been young? But it is because of being young that I know that sometimes young people have this hurdle in their hearts. Without help, it may not be overcome in half a lifetime, so even if I know, I still have to Please come to my old home, Wenyuan, and ask Wenyuan for some advice."

Unlike his daughter, the ancestor whose hair had turned white all over his body begged Hao Zhao condescendingly, and there was no trace of the rat king's style of controlling the situation in the lower city in his words.

How could Hao Zhao refuse if he could force a decisive old man to do this?

He then had to actually spit out the meat:

"Miss Lin is used to things going well. She first went abroad to study for gold, and then followed the old man to familiarize herself with the family business. At such a young age, she is the 'eldest lady' in the mouth of the gangsters in Longmenxiacheng District. She has everything that others have."

"Does such a person need anything else? I think they do. Just like after material satisfaction, they need spiritual happiness. After spiritual happiness, they need to think about the meaning of life."

"Ms. Lin has a stronger personality, so she has set a small goal of realizing the value of life to be recognized by you and Wei. However, I have to admit that she is a little unlucky. We have all seen how the person she met took advantage of this mentality. However, the frustration for Miss Lin is unimaginable."

Hao Zhao smacked his lips and imagined in his mind how shocking Lin Yuxia's regret, shame and pain would be when she learned that she had been fooled from beginning to end, causing her old father and Wei Gongwenyue to enter the intensive care unit together.

Even now, this wound

The pus in her body was still aching, making her miserable - if she really came out, the person who came to pick up Chen and Hao Zhao today would not be the Rat King, but Lin Yuxia's sole agent.

It's a pity that Miss Lin may have been deeply grieved, or she may have been so discouraged by Kong Ming that she shrank and blindly followed the path planned by others step by step, losing herself.

"People say that Hao Zhao has a pair of wise eyes, but today I have realized it."

The Rat King took out a box of cakes from the side of the recliner and threw it to Hao Zhao, lazily not getting up.

Hao Zhao unceremoniously opened the package and chewed the food. His eyes turned to the Rat King and then he said something else:

"People say that the Rat King is determined, but I didn't expect to see him today."

His slender fingers touched the Mouse King's knees that were covered with cotton cloth. The old man was about to jump up with a bang, but lost his strength halfway and fell back on the recliner. His forehead was immediately covered with a layer of sweat. The light flickered and sparkled. of.

"The injury is not healed yet? It hurts like this. I guess the doctors can't even figure out what's wrong with you. I've been away from Longmen for almost three months, and you're just wiping your daughter's butt while you suffer?"

Hao Zhao sneered and tapped his fingers on the Rat King's thighs and knees. The severe pain connected all the muscles in Old Zalak's body. His whole body was stretched straight on the chair, and his chest rose and fell like being swayed from side to side in the summer wind. wind chimes.

At a certain moment, the curtain in the back room of the candy store danced slightly due to the wind.

"You are no longer young, why are you trying to be strong?"

The orange cat half-crouched down and held down the Rat King's leg. The lightning exploded in his hand. The sizzling sound of flesh and blood colliding with high-energy electricity and the roasting smell spreading silently in the room showed the torture the Rat King was receiving at this moment. But not only did he not call out. The black man outside the store did not use his Origin Stone skills to resist. Instead, he clenched his palms and accepted the torture, and finally smashed it stiffly on the lounge chair.

"……sharp."

After waiting for a long time for the smell of roasting flesh and blood to dissipate in the store, the Rat King, who was sweating profusely and looking like he had just been hit by a Category [-] storm with water all over his head and face, praised, his weak eyes getting brighter and brighter. Finally, he forced himself to stand up with his legs.

But this time he was no longer as strong as when he went to the banquet at noon. The old man supported Hao Zhao and grabbed his arm, trembling but happily walking hard, touching his legs and feet and exclaiming:

"You really learned a lot from this trip, much better than those young people who say it's a trip but it's not much different from traveling."

"Why not Miss Lin?"

After bringing Lin Gerui to the chair and sitting down again, Hao Zhao picked up the pastry box temporarily placed on the counter and stuffed another piece into his mouth:

"To put it bluntly, a family with no money and power can send their children to Victoria and make their children become gang leaders in the downtown area? Miss Lin's most unique condition is that with a father like you, you are not afraid of her failure. , and I’m not afraid that she will completely destroy all the money you have saved - with you, the Rat King, where can she go?"

Hao Zhao finished the cake in a few mouthfuls, threw the box into the trash can, and gave the pink-haired mouse the final judgment:

"Although many people say that Lin Yuxia is not afraid of hardships and capable enough to inherit the title of Rat King, but has she really encountered trouble? All the troubles she encountered before the Baiwu incident were caused by you and Wei Gong can handle it, but no matter how hard the rain is, can it penetrate the greenhouse and break the flowers inside?"

"Until the hail falls, shattering the glass of the greenhouse and smashing the flowers in the garden to pieces, those who survive can be said to have tenacious vitality and the value of cultivation - and to put it bluntly, Lin Yuxia is gone after experiencing the white fog incident. Legs or brains? A little frustration that her parents couldn't bear has tortured her like this. She can't even find out that the old man supported her even though he was sick. Not to mention disappointing, it's boring."

After saying that, the orange cat turned around and left, not intending to give any more solutions.

Of course he could imitate those people in Dongguo dialect books and say some words of Asasi to comfort the Rat King and a certain little mouse hiding behind the curtain, and then spend time untying Lin Yuxia's knot, but... Lin Yuxia didn't let him Is it worth Hao Zhao's efforts?

3Chapter 17 Starry night, exactly starry night

If a resident of Xiacheng District from a few years ago was allowed to travel to a few years later, he would not dare to admit that the location he was standing in would be Xiacheng District.

A new and regular order has been established here. The industrial areas, residential areas, interactive areas, and downtown areas that Hao Zhao personally planned before leaving occupy the best locations here, and the rest are given to the gray people who have nowhere to go. zone.

Longmen needs an area where darkness can be dumped, and Hao Zhao just makes it more standardized.

Infected and non-infected people were separated, and the Guard Bureau recruited infected temporary workers to deal with the messy relationship between the infected, barely keeping the situation under order.

——No matter what the infected people think, mineral disease is mineral disease. It is an infectious disease. After infection, it will lead to a series of adverse consequences depending on the individual's constitution. It is necessary to isolate healthy people from infected people.

Of course, if the infected feel that they are wronged in Longmen and cannot accept it, the Xiacheng District Guards Bureau also welcomes them to handle business:

The First Empire of Kazdaele is quite close to Longmen. If they are willing to endure a period of displacement to Kazdaele, the Guards Bureau will not stop them.

As a result, Longmenxiacheng District has become quite empty. Most of the people who stay here are people who keep to themselves and know what they can and cannot do.

You are an honest man, all the thornheads have been signed to be dismissed and jumped away from the dragon gate.

——In today's Terra, no matter what group, if the main scale reaches a certain level, there will always be scum in it, such as Tartarus' "integration", Macaron's "Yanan", and even Hao Zhao's creation The "Taiping Sect" has no shortage of people with sly hearts and scorpion-minded people to sneak into it.

Supervisory organizations similar to anti-rape teams naturally emerged.

Naturally, there are similar organizations in Xiacheng District, such as the plainclothes people who are communicating in low voices in the brightly lit bars that are still open at the moment. Even if they are well concealed, ordinary residents of Xiacheng District can't tell it with their eyes glaring with smoke. Thinking it was a few gangsters who got together, Hao Zhao was still able to recognize their identities.

The main reason is that many of these people are the younger brothers who followed Xingxiong back then, and have also received favors from Hao Zhao. When they saw Hao Zhao again, several people's eyes lit up - and then they turned their eyes to the bar in turn, and then turned their heads as if to avoid him. I went down and drank fruit wine with a very low alcohol content, without daring to say a word.

But the pricked ears and trembling hair had already told Hao Zhao their curiosity.

Orange Cat walked to the front, and Rosemary, who was waiting inside the bar, smiled softly and pushed a glass of prepared blueberry fruit wine from the bar to Hao Zhao, who took it and drank it down in one gulp.

After drinking, he took a deep breath, took the next glass, and asked casually:

"Why are you drinking alone?"

The drinker next to her made a loud swallowing sound and put her empty glass on the bar. Rosemary quickly replaced her with the next glass.

"You're a liar."

Xingxiong turned to look directly at Hao Zhao with a pair of beautiful eyes. His pretty face turned slightly red after drinking, and the ghost girl's heroic cheeks became slightly softer under the stimulation of alcohol.

"What did you lie to?"

Hao Zhao took a sip of the rosemary-mixed wine and savored the multi-layered aroma of the various wines in his mouth:

"Did I not tell you that the Xiacheng District Guards Bureau will be responsible for more and more things, and its responsibilities will become heavier and heavier, and it will become indispensable when you become the director? Or, I didn't tell you that many things are not as simple as you think. The Guards Bureau is not a gang, so the strictness of internal supervision is surprising?"

He raised two expected questions casually, and after a moment he couldn't help laughing, and a big smile appeared on his straight face:

"Isn't this something you should know when training here?"

Rosemary in front of the bar also mixed a glass for herself. The fiery red wine tumbled in the shaking glass, and the viscous liquid was colored with blood. She took a sip, smiled slightly, and spoke to Xing Xiong came to the rescue and said:

"Miss Hoshikuma just can't accept the rules of the Guard Bureau - the choice between legal kindness and legal ruthlessness is probably something she can't accept when it comes to people."

Xingxiong didn't say anything, just glanced at Hao Zhao, and drank another glass of rosemary-mixed spirits. His fair neck shone faintly in the dim light of the bar, and a little sweat shone like diamonds inlaid on his skin. Shine.

Hao Zhao read her acquiescence and replied casually:

"Not only the Guards Bureau, but even the larger gangs - you can take Hong Xing as an example. It will not work without rules. To give you the simplest example, Xing Xiong, guess what Hong Xing gang you have been in How many of the elders of the time are left?”

"I don't know."

Xing Xiong replied without thinking, there is a difference between the Double Flower Red Stick and the Double Flower Red Stick. She is the one who can fight. There may be younger brothers who admire Sister Xing Xiong's bravery and are willing to follow her to fight, but entering the gang The higher-ups... don't just have to be able to fight.

"I have investigated and found that by the time Hongxing was ordered to disband, the number of senior members in Hongxing was less than [-]%," Hao Zhao told her calmly: "The less than [-]% is not because they all washed their hands in gold basins or changed their clothes and went to Shangcheng District. These people were all expelled from Hongxing or simply disappeared."

“In the early days, it was normal for brotherhood and love to be stronger than reason. Maintaining stickiness and unity as a small team was the key to success. But as the spread of the dishes grew bigger and bigger, more and more people came in, and we had to make rules. Maintain the overall size and direction of action of the large group.”

"This is normal. In a small group, communication may only require shouting to the next room. Ideals and friendship are the driving force for the survival of the group, but this is no longer the case in large groups. The territory is larger and there are more people. Desires, ideas, The pursuit has also increased, and what we should think about is no longer brotherhood, but how to glue the group together, and everyone's fists can be mobilized to hit one person. At this time, rules are very important."

Hao Zhao pursed his lips, while Rose watched the fire from the other side of the Guards Bureau. Yaeka was in charge of the physical examination of the entire Xiacheng District Guards Bureau staff at the hospital, and she was very clear about what Xing Xiong had experienced when she took office as the Director of the Guards Bureau - it was nothing more than betrayal. , corruption, cheating and broken ideals.

"I know, I know..."

Xingxiong replied in frustration, but the expression on his face was not at all relaxed——
