The officer who claimed to be the director of the military research institute tried his best to put on an amiable expression, but his words were not very kind. Ning Qingyun remained silent.
He collected the keys to leave the secret realm and found the exit according to the instructions on the map. Unexpectedly, he was blocked by the army as soon as he left the secret realm.
Facing the troops with live ammunition and neat appearance, although he was anxious, he had to see what they meant.
Following Ning Qingyun's group, in addition to Yunshan Zeng Jing's group, there were two other groups. They were also surrounded by the army.
"What, do you want to break the rules? These are the people sent by our Wang family. What do you mean by surrounding them?" An old man on crutches walked up to the group of people whom Ning Qingyun didn't recognize and grabbed the leader. said the man.
"Old chief, no matter whose family is sent in, at a time like this, national justice should be the top priority, don't you think?" an officer here said with a smile.
"Don't mention any national interests. We didn't want to send people in at the beginning. It was you who forced us to get the quota. Before entering the secret realm, we all agreed that the things brought out by whichever family sends people in will belong to whichever family? Now what do you think? Are you getting fat by breaking your promise?" Mr. Wang said, tapping his cane on the ground.
"Of course not, but we must understand clearly what happened in the secret realm. As for the things they brought out, of course they belong to themselves. We officially protect the personal safety and property safety of every citizen." An officer looked at the things carried in the arms of these people who had just left the secret realm, and said meaningfully.
Although the officer did not spell out his words clearly, everyone present could understand his meaning.
The Cloud and Mist Secret Realm has been difficult to get in and out since it was discovered. Especially according to the early survey reports, the secret realm is full of dangers and the mortality rate is very high. Although everyone is very keen on the resources in the secret realm, they dare not act easily. The major families Those sent in were all the collateral descendants who were not taken seriously or the vassals who were closely related to them.
What the military means by saying this is that they are clearly poaching. Regardless of whether those who entered the secret realm were voluntarily or forced, now that they have come out with treasures, they have the freedom to make new choices. This is the official statement. guarantee.
"Dayong, your mother and daughter-in-law are waiting for you at the old house. If they see you soon, they will be very happy. Let's go back first." Mr. Wang looked at the young man he just grabbed and said very naturally .
"Everyone who came out of the secret realm today is a hero with both ability and luck. Those who are willing to join the army will immediately be awarded the lowest battalion-level military rank. Their families will enjoy the treatment of military dependents and can stay in the military dependent compound." The officer raised his voice. Tell everyone, okay, this is not a hint, this is an explicit robbery.
Mr. Wang and other heads of aristocratic families who came over turned pale with anger.
Wang Dayong, who is tall and straight, with a simple and honest face, immediately grinned, "Grandpa, you also know that I have dreamed of joining the army since I was a child, but I have never been able to do so. Today is an opportunity that I cannot miss no matter what."
"Dayong, you have to think clearly. In this world, connections and backgrounds are always important. The army is in deep water. Only military rank, no military position, nothing. You have no family support behind you. Don't regret it then." Mr. Wang's face turned cold and he said threateningly.
"It is enough to have a military rank. As long as they are not useless, the army will not waste talents. As for the background you mentioned, there will always be some." Wang Dayong's fairly upright face showed a bright smile, without hesitation. He stood behind the officer.
"Lead a team to Wang's house to pick up Wang Dayong's family members and arrange accommodation for them immediately." The officer ordered to the adjutant beside him.
"Yes, chief." The adjutant took the order and left.
Wang Dayong has clearly chosen his side, so Mr. Wang has no choice but to mobilize others. At the same time, the old man of the Gong family and the old man of the Ye family also promised to win over the people sent by their respective families. In the end, it is not known what these people got from the big families. Promise, except for Wang Dayong, no one else joined the army.
This time it was the officer's turn to look ugly. He never expected that the army could not attract those people despite offering such generous terms.
Ning Qingyun, who was invited to go to the military headquarters here, asked a little stiffly, "Although I am just a civilian, I still have personal freedom. There is no reason. According to which law do you ask me to go?"
"Uh..." Xu Xiwei, director of the Military Research Institute, was speechless for a moment.
After hearing the news that the military was robbing people and resources, the old head of the Ning family hurried over and happened to see Xu Xiwei and Ning Qingyun standing together.
"Director Xu, what do you want to do? Qingyun is a direct descendant of my Ning family and my grandson. You can only rob people with other surnames. You want to rob even my direct grandson. Isn't it too much? "Ning Qingyun's grandfather, the energetic old man of the Ning family, said angrily at Xu Xiwei who stopped Ning Qingyun.
"Looking at what you said, what happened to my grandson? He was sent to such a dangerous secret realm. Isn't it because of the things he brought out that you are so anxious?" Xu Xiwei mocked unceremoniously.
"He is a descendant of my Ning family. Of course, the things he brings out should belong to our Ning family. You guys come here in such a hurry to snatch people away. Hmm, are you thinking that others don't know?" The cane hit the ground hard, making a thumping sound.
"The military protects the personal safety and property freedom of every citizen. Ning Qingyun is a talent that our Minister Yan has paid close attention to early on. We will not allow anyone to morally kidnap and rob his own private property in the name of his relatives. Ning Qingyun Qingyun, if you are willing to join the army, at least at the regimental level, with such a high starting point, and your excellent talent, you will be able to reach a high position soon." Xu Xiwei ignored Mr. Ning and turned to promise Ning Qingyun.
"You still get to a high position, and you use this kind of empty promise to make a big pie by deceiving children who have never seen the world. There are a lot of young talents at the regiment level in the army. How many of them can get to a high position? Qingyun ", don't be deceived by his sweet words. Once you join the army, you will be a member of the army. Obeying orders is an iron law. How can you be free to do what you want?" The old man of the Ning family is indeed an old fox. In a word, It caught the pain in Ning Qingyun's heart.
