The number of people serving in the military in Jiangxincheng this year is about 120,000, and they need to leave in three batches.
In order to quickly get adult men joining the army to join the battlefield, the Zhenwu Empire set up several special train lines to pick up and drop off everyone.
As a giant city in the East District, Jiangxin City has a total of three train lines.
They approached the west gate, north gate, and south gate respectively.
Because the east gate is towards the wilderness, there is no train route.
The train route Ye Lingze was going to was at the south gate of Jiangxin City.
Early this morning, Ye Lingze packed up all his belongings, put them in a package, and left Ruan Yuqi's yard completely.
He left the place where he had stayed for three years without any nostalgia, without even looking back.
When he came to the gate of the Ruan family, the guard at the door had already received the news that his uncle was going to serve in the military. After seeing Ye Lingze's appearance, he looked at Ye Lingze sympathetically and helped open the gate of the Ruan family manor.
This time they did not stop him as usual. In the past, Ye Lingze had to obtain Ruan Yuqi's consent if he wanted to leave the Ruan family manor. Otherwise, he would be severely punished if he left rashly.
Ye Lingze touched the ID card in his arms and breathed a sigh of relief. After saying "thank you" to the two guards, he raised his feet and crossed the threshold of the Ruan family's gate.
The weather has become slightly cooler, but he feels that the smell in the air is sweet.
Even the chirping of birds on the branches made him feel particularly pleasant.
He happily shouldered the package and left the confines of the Ruan family manor step by step.
No one from the Ruan family sent him off. Fortunately, when he was preparing a plan to leave the Ruan family, he had memorized the map of the entire Jiangxin City.
Ten minutes later, just when he was about to leave the Ruan family manor!
"Xiao Lingze, are you leaving without saying hello?"
The sudden sound made Ye Lingze pause for a moment. When he turned around, he saw an old man in simple coarse clothes behind him, smiling and waving to him.
The other party is none other than the old man of the Ruan family, Ruan Mingze!
Ruan Mingze did not wear gorgeous clothes this time, but wore such low-key and simple clothes. He stood there like an old farmer. Ye Lingze almost didn't recognize him.
"Old man, why are you here?"
Ye Lingze was so surprised that he was almost speechless.
"I'm here to see you off. I see you walking alone."
The old man walked up to him and handed him a bag: "Eat something?"
The bag contained breakfast cooked in the Ruan family's kitchen, and even Ye Lingze had his index fingers wide open when he saw it.
"What kind of bun is this?" He took out a bun and asked while eating it, "Old man, when did you come here?"
"I came out to wait for you before. I thought you would leave very early today, so I probably didn't even eat breakfast."
The old man also reached into the bag and took out a bun, and gnawed it together with Ye Lingze: "This bun is stuffed with dragon meat."
Ye Lingze:? ? ?
Is this the flesh of Mo Lin's brothers?
No wonder it smells so good...
Wait, that’s not the point!
"Old man, how did you know I would leave early?" he couldn't help but ask.
"If I had been in a hell for three years and finally got out, I wouldn't be able to wait."
Mr. Ruan was chewing the buns, and his hands were stained with oil, but he wiped them with his clothes without caring and continued to chew the buns.
Ye Lingze was stunned.
"Old man, why do you say that? I don't think the Ruan family is hell..." he said tentatively.
"We are the only two here, grandfather and grandson, and you are pretending to be with me?"
The old man's greasy hand rested on his shoulder: "When I met you more than a month ago, I could see that you were very dissatisfied with that girl Yu Qi, but you were enduring it."
Ye Lingze unnaturally took the opponent's oily hand away and asked, "What next?"
"I suspected something had happened during my days of seclusion, so I went to investigate what had happened during my three years of seclusion."
Speaking of this, Ruan Mingze's face showed some anger: "But I never thought that you have suffered so many grievances in the past three years. On the day of the wedding, you were rushed to the door and stayed all night. You have done so many things in the past three years. Not only did the servants have to work hard, they were often punished by that girl Yu Qi and sent to a cold cave. It is said that she almost died several times..."
Ye Lingze:......
Stop talking, or I will drop my little pearl in aggrieved manner!
"The Ruan family owes you a lot, and it is reasonable for you to want to leave the Ruan family."
Ruan Mingze took his oily hand back and handed the bag with breakfast in his hand to Ye Lingze.
"It's not that I don't have a sense of belonging to the Ruan family..." Ye Lingze wanted to lie. His mother was still in the hands of the Ruan family. What if the old man turned against him and didn't save his mother?
"I will help you treat your mother, so you don't have to worry about it." Ruan Mingze said, "Yu Qi will never threaten you with your mother again."
Ye Lingze looked at the old man with wide eyes.
Is this old man able to read minds?
"I don't have the ability to read minds, I just saw the things you are afraid of." Ruan Mingze chuckled, "And I only say this to reassure you, and have no other meaning."
"Old man, why are you so nice to me?" Ye Lingze looked into the old man's eyes.
Is all this because his dead grandfather saved this old man fifty years ago?
Although they were talking, the two of them did not stop.
"Maybe you think it's your grandfather's relationship that's why I'm so nice to you." Ruan Mingze shook his head with a smile, "In fact, that's not the case. I'm nice to you because I simply think you are not simple, and you are a dragon and a phoenix among people. , sooner or later one day he will become a strong man."
Ye Lingze was stupid. How did the old man know that he would become a strong man in the future?
"After the banquet, I thought you and Yu Qi could achieve success, but I didn't expect..." Ruan Mingze suddenly lowered his eyes and looked at him, "You two are not in the same room, and there is a residual strangeness in Yu Qi's body. Can breathe!”
Ye Lingze's hair stood on end!
The old man discovered that he is a superpower!
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this, but I know that you deliberately lured that boy Ruan Jinshuo to help you get the qualifications for military service, and you had other intentions."
Ruan Mingze patted him on the shoulder: "Go ahead and do it, but don't be afraid of being bullied by anyone. You are the uncle of my Ruan family. You were, are, and will be in the future!"
Ye Lingze was silent.
He understood what Ruan Mingze meant!
The other party is telling him that no matter whether he hides his strength or not, he will be bound to the Ruan family in the future!
Is this... a threat?
But the expression he looked at the old man didn't seem like a threat. Instead, he seemed to be telling him that he was his parent, and if he was bullied outside in the future, he could go home and complain to his parents.
Rather than the feeling of "Don't even think about escaping from the Ruan family".
