After standing there for a long time, Julia called out excitedly and rushed towards Rick.◎Literature Museumr />
The father and daughter hugged each other and cried for a long time. Then Rick patted Julia on the shoulder and said, "Stop crying. Isn't my father back? Let him change his clothes!"
Julia wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded, then she realized that Rick was only wearing a towel.
Rick turned and walked toward the house. Julia then turned to Chen Jinyuan and said with great emotion, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, thank you for saving my father."
Fortunately, Julia asked herself to rescue Rick. If she hadn't gone today, I'm afraid Rick would have been raped by those three big men and would be in danger of losing his life at night. Chen Jinyuan smiled and shook his head, "Go and help." Your father should get something to eat, he's probably starving."
Julia glanced at Chen Jinyuan gratefully, then turned around and walked into the kitchen. When she saw Rick's emaciated appearance, she knew that Rick must have suffered a lot on the Blackstone Star.

After dinner.
The father and daughter were sitting on the sofa telling each other about their separation. Rick turned to look at Chen Jinyuan and said, "Mr. Chen, thank you very much this time. Otherwise, I'm afraid Julia and I will never see each other again."
"What are your plans in the future?" Chen Jinyuan asked.
Rick turned to look at Julia and said, "Now that I have become a fugitive from the empire, Prime Minister Morita will definitely not let me go. If nothing else happens, the entire Azurite Galaxy will issue a wanted order tomorrow, so I I want to take my daughter with me as soon as possible, leave the imperial capital, and find a place where no one is around to live in seclusion, and I don’t want to get involved in the power struggle of the empire anymore.”
"Rick, with the power of your empire, do you think you can escape?" Chen Jinyuan shook his head when he heard this.
Rick said it easily. But he also knew in his heart that now the entire blue crystal galaxy is under the control of the Art Empire. Even if they can hide in some corner, with the powerful power of the empire, they will definitely be able to Finding them out is just a matter of time.
"Please Mr. Chen, please show us a clear path!"
Rick struggled for a moment, then turned to Chen Jinyuan. In his opinion, this mysterious man had incredible strength. He might really have a way, or he could use his incredible ability to change their appearance. If you look good, you can escape the pursuit of the Imperial Army.
Chen Jinyuan smiled and said, "In my opinion, why don't you just stay in the imperial capital?"
"Stay in the Imperial Capital?" Rick was stunned, then shook his head and said, "No, once they find out about the escape, they will definitely come to Julia first, and they will find me as soon as possible. And they will also implicate you and Julia. .”
Chen Jinyuan shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I will let you stay in the imperial capital. I will naturally ensure your safety."
"Huh?" Rick and Julia's eyes were full of doubts.
Chen Jinyuan smiled and said, "Rick, what do you think of your current Prime Minister Morita?"
Rick looked at Chen Jinyuan and was a little confused as to why Chen Jinyuan asked. But he still replied, "Morita is radical and militant, and has a strong desire to control. He took the initiative to provoke the situation not long after he became prime minister more than ten years ago. The war with the Great Yan Dynasty eventually destroyed the Great Yan Dynasty. Later, in order to hunt down the remnants of the Great Yan Dynasty, most of the empire's troops were lost. Now, although the Art Empire has unified the Azurite Galaxy, its strength has been greatly reduced. If we continue like this, sooner or later our national strength will be exhausted by Morita."
Rick didn't know that most of the Art Empire's troops were lost in the hands of the young man in front of him. If he knew, he didn't know how he would feel.
The corner of Chen Jinyuan's mouth curved slightly and he said directly, "What do you think if you are asked to be the prime minister?"
"Me? Prime Minister?" Rick fell out. He didn't expect that Chen Jinyuan would ask such a question. Even Julia didn't understand what Chen Jinyuan meant by asking.
Chen Jinyuan smiled and nodded.
Rick shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "Mr. Chen is joking. The Prime Minister of the Art Empire holds the highest power. In addition, there is the supreme Emperor Andrew. Although Emperor Andrew has no real power, the appointment and removal of the Prime Minister must go through him. The new Prime Minister takes office.
After that, he will form his own cabinet of prime ministers. Morita is the uncle of Emperor Andrew the Great. I was once one of the eight prime ministers. Now that I have offended Morita, how could Emperor Andrew remove Morita and make me the prime minister of the empire?
"
"Don't worry about so much, you just need to answer me, if you become prime minister, will you do better than Morita?" Chen Jinyuan said.
Rick said, "Mr. Chen, how can you use the word 'good' to describe what Morita did? Because of the war provoked by Morita, countless wives in the empire lost their husbands, children lost their fathers, and parents lost their lives."
If I become Prime Minister, even if I do nothing, I will be thousands of times better than him!"
There was a hint of curvature in the corner of Chen Jinyuan's mouth, "That's good, you can wait here for the appointment notice from Emperor Andrew, and leave the rest to me."
After saying that, Chen Jinyuan disappeared directly in front of the two of them without waiting for Rick's reaction.
Rick turned and looked at Julia. Mr. Chen was really mysterious. He came and went without a trace, and he didn't know who he was.

Prime Minister's Office.
A middle-aged man with an aquiline nose was lying on his back on a soft chair behind a desk, quietly closing his eyes and concentrating. Outside the transparent glass wall, many people were coming and going, but no one came in to disturb him.
Because they know that at this time every night, the Prime Minister will close his eyes and rest for half an hour. During this period, if there is nothing extremely important, no one dares to go in and disturb him. No one can bear it if the Prime Minister gets angry.
.
"Didi dididi..."
A harsh sound resounded in the quiet room. The hook-nosed man suddenly opened his eyes, his two thick eyebrows rose sharply, and a chilling and sinister light flashed in his deep eyes.
The source of the noise was a small white box on the table. The hook-nosed face had a deep sullen look on it. He reached out and pressed a button on the surface of the box gently.
Buzz!
A white light shot out, and a full-body holographic projection of an officer about half a foot tall was formed above the box.
"Norman, what's the matter?" Hook-nosed looked at the projection, the anger on his face getting stronger.
He knew the person in the projection as Commander Norman, the empire's highest officer stationed in Blackstone. Didn't he know that he couldn't disturb his rest at this time?
The officer turned a blind eye to the anger on his hook-nosed face, but gave a respectful military salute and said, "Your Majesty Prime Minister, Prime Minister Rick has escaped."
