The great lord Zhao Xian is a well-known figure.
Even before the natural disaster, he was already a household name. A young soldier, he went to the battlefield to kill the enemy and was famous for defeating a large number of rebel armies with a small force.
Not a simple person.
Being in power at such a young age, he probably wouldn't allow anyone else to make decisions over him.
Wang Wenxun warned his men again: "If the Great Lord and Expert Qiao start arguing, we should play dumb and not get involved. We should not be used as pawns to avoid becoming cannon fodder."
The subordinates nodded to show that they understood.
But the battlefield filled with smoke of gunpowder, intrigue and struggle for power that Wang Wenxun imagined did not appear at all.
As they reached the office door, they heard Teacher Qiao's voice, seemingly cursing, "Zhao Xian! Didn't I tell you not to take risks? What did you do? You took on a 20-ton giant sea monster. You think you're immortal, don't you?"
Wang Wenxun's eyes widened: "!"
What does this mean? Expert Qiao actually called him by his name and cursed the Great Lord! Did they really witness the scene?
Then, another voice soothed and coaxed, "Teacher Qiao, don't be angry. Nothing happened. I know my limits."
Wang Wenxun: “?”
It seems, seems, feels, something is not right.
This feeling was confirmed the next moment.
Zhao Xian: "I was wrong this time. Next time I will listen to Teacher Qiao."
Wang Wenxun and his men looked at each other, and their eyes became subtle.
This, this is completely different from what they imagined!
This relationship is different. The overlord seems to have no temper at all in front of Expert Qiao. He does what he says and even admits his mistakes.
They paused slightly, composed themselves, and then walked forward and knocked on the door.
Zhao Xian: "Come in."
When Wang Wenxun walked in, he saw a scene that was both surprising and not surprising.
The great lord sat in the main seat in the conference room.
He was dressed in a military uniform, as if he had just come off the battlefield, and was wearing a tactical vest.
He looked tall and straight even when he sat there; he was a very handsome man.
But the first sight of this person doesn't make you feel handsome, but intimidating.
His eyes were like those of an eagle, with a reserved edge, and there was a scar on his jaw.
A solemn military temperament.
But... one of his hands was stretched out and was held by Expert Qiao.
It seemed that the murderous aura on his body had eased a lot, and he seemed a little gentler.
Expert Joe held one of the overlord's hands and looked down. The palm of the hand was wrapped in a bandage with blood stains on it.
After they came in, the two did not avoid each other. Expert Qiao was still holding the Grand Lord's hand, his face a little unhappy, but he gently put his hand back: "Take good care of it, don't move it anymore."
Zhao Xian whispered, "As you wish."
Expert Qiao turned his head to look at them, his expression back to normal. "Captain Wang is here, please sit down. I'd like to discuss a few points with you regarding the Fourth Base's response to the sea monster."
Wang Wenxun recalled that when they first entered the door, Expert Qiao seemed to have mentioned something about a 20-ton sea monster?
Wang Wenxun's expression changed. They had no experience, and when they encountered a sea monster of this magnitude, they would hide!
But the following conversation did not mention any 20-ton sea monster, but a strange question that Wang Wenxun did not expect - have you seen mutants?
Wang Wenxun: "Mutants? ...Is it mad cow disease?"
"If it's not mad cow disease, then other mutants are unheard of."
"Taken away by a sea monster? No, if they were caught by a sea monster, they would be eaten directly. There's never any mention of them going missing, only death."
“…”
After the strange topic about the so-called "mutants", the base lord began to ask them some normal questions, such as sharing their experience and methods of dealing with sea monsters and their living environment.
Most of the questions still focus on sea monsters, such as what kind of sea monsters are there in their base, which ones are easy to deal with... and so on.
Zhao Xian also shared with them some of the First Base’s experience in dealing with sea monsters.
Both are very practical.
Wang Wenxun: "Thank you, Lord, for telling us. We can use it when we get back!"
Zhao Xian: "Your experience is also very practical."
After they had almost finished their discussion, Expert Qiao spoke up, "The quality inspection results for the ore soil have been released. The nickel content of the ore soil you brought is quite good, meeting our usage standards. The transaction we agreed upon with you can proceed normally. You can load the potatoes into the truck tomorrow. Just contact Deputy Captain Wu."
Wang Wenxun was delighted. They'd passed! The First Base hadn't resorted to any tricks to keep them. This was truly a good thing!
But after a moment of joy, he immediately looked at the Grand Lord. He did not find any dissatisfaction in the Grand Lord.
...The Great Lord was looking at Expert Joe intently.
Well, the great lord has nothing to complain about.
After the meeting, they were released.
Back in the dormitory, they sat down again and were quiet for a while before they started communicating.
"Captain Wang, I feel like the relationship between the Great Lord and Expert Qiao... doesn't seem like a struggle for power or profit, do they?"
Wang Wenxun laughed: "Is there any need to pretend? My wife and I are not that clingy."
Obviously, the relationship between the two is not ordinary.
This was completely unexpected. And judging by what happened today, the Grand Lord was completely obedient to what Expert Qiao said, without a single word of resistance.
Wang Wenxun: "They have a very good relationship."
"Hopefully, tomorrow we'll have a good sale! 100 tons of potatoes!"
