Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

As soon as they were stationed, Old Man Leng couldn't wait to stand up, said something to Leng Chengye beside him, and left the exile team.

The exile team is staying at the farm tonight. Zhao Xu and Leng Youran have a partnership, so he has been quite lenient towards the Leng family in the past two days.

But Liao Dahai was different. He always felt that the commander's attitude towards the Leng family in the past two days made him a little confused.

Seeing Old Man Leng leave the yard, he couldn't help but approach Zhao Xu and whispered, "Commander, haven't you been treating the Leng family too well these days? Look, the old man from the Leng family has gone out again."

Zhao Xu glanced casually in the direction he pointed. "Don't forget the message we received. If they tell us to hurry, we'll just do it. Although the Leng and Li families have been a bit disorganized these days, they haven't been slowing down at all on their journey. Don't overdo it. We're not the only ones in the team now."

Liao Dahai naturally knew what Zhao Xu meant. Although he didn't understand what he was thinking specifically, as he said, their officers and soldiers only accounted for half of the exile team. If something happened in the exile team and caused dissatisfaction among the Leng family and those who left their home, they might take action against them.

Although they both knew that they were in charge of their own affairs, the window paper had not been broken yet. If he rushed to expose these things, he might not live to see the exile team sent to the north.

I thought of the secret letter I received the day before yesterday. The secret letter said: Let them set off as quickly as possible. It doesn’t matter if one or two of them die of exhaustion on the way, as long as they can get to the Three Gorges Bay as soon as possible.

"Okay, anyway, we didn't let go of those who walked slowly."

Anyway, if something goes wrong, the higher-ups won’t bother him. Isn’t Zhao Xu the one who takes care of it?

Since he doesn't mind, why should he be in a hurry?

Old Master Leng followed the mark left by Leng Youran and found her in an uninhabited thatched hut behind the village.

When he came up, he first looked at her to see if she had any injuries, and was relieved to see that she was fine.

"Grandfather, has something happened? Why has your journey been so fast these past two days?"

As Leng Youran spoke, he took out a table and chairs from the space, and also took out some dishes he had bought in the capital in the past two days.

When Old Master Leng saw the food on the table, he knew where she had been for the past two days. "Something happened. Not long after you left, Zhao Xu quietly found me and told me that the emperor had ordered us to speed up our journey and reach the Three Gorges Bay as soon as possible. If you didn't come back today, I would have found a way to notify you."

Leng Youran asked while helping Old Man Leng set the table, "Are you worried about your family?"

"Yes, the little girl who left home often cried in the middle of the night these past two days. I also often saw the wife of the second boy who left home secretly getting up and crying in the middle of the night. The journey of these two days is unbearable for us, let alone them."

Old Master Leng took a bite of the dish Leng Youran brought back and said, "It still tastes the same, but the capital is completely different now!"

"Well, to be honest with you, Grandfather, the Hua and Ye families have already left the capital today."

"Leave the capital? Why?" Old Master Leng was shocked. It was not like he had never thought about this before, but the Hua family and the Ye family were too involved, and he couldn't figure out how to get them out of the capital for a while.

I didn't expect that my granddaughter would bring back such news after just one trip to the capital.

Leng Youran did not hide anything and told him roughly what had happened in the capital in the past two days, and also told him everything she said to Hua Mingche and the others before leaving Beijing.

"Oh, I never thought that Zhao Mingyao would actually make it this far."

"Luckily, you're here. I never thought that the solution that Grandfather spent so much time thinking about couldn't be solved by you in just a few words. You're right. If they leave, we won't have any worries."

Old Master Leng now looks at Leng Youran as if he were looking at a treasure. He suddenly realizes that the children he gave birth to and the children's children combined are not as smart as the granddaughter in front of him.

Perhaps it was because she had lived alone elsewhere for many years that she developed this kind of personality. If she had been raised with them, she might have been protected like the other children in the family.

"Yeah, that's what I think too. Grandfather, please don't blame me for being clever. As for the Ye family's affairs, they were all planned by Uncle Ye himself. I have no credit for them."

"That kid from the Ye family is pretty good. He built up such a huge family business all on his own. Now that the family business is gone, he's probably going to be miserable for a while."

"My uncle said the same thing, so he chose to leave with the Ye family. I told them to hurry on their way so that we can avoid a battle in the Three Gorges Bay."

"Yes, you arranged it very well." Old Master Leng praised sincerely.

"Oh, by the way, girl, how are your people preparing?"

"I'm ready. I'll bring people over soon."

When Mr. Leng heard that she had made arrangements, he couldn't sit still any longer. "Okay, I'll go back now and ask Li to prepare. You can ask your people to come over as well. The situation is tense right now, so we may not be able to have dinner together."

Leng Youran felt a little sad when he saw the old man's anxious look. "Don't worry, Grandpa. Eat first. I'll go check on the others quietly later."

While saying this, he used his special powers to regulate his body.

Old Master Leng didn't know what her specific abilities were, he only knew that when his granddaughter's hand was on his back, he felt less burdened, and even his originally irritable mood gradually calmed down.

"Well, I can't let my good granddaughter make this trip in vain."

Leng Youran was very satisfied with the old man's attitude. With one hand, she used her supernatural power to comb his body, and with the other hand, she held her chin and glanced at the old man who was eating sweetly. Only then did she realize that there were a few more strands of white hair on her grandfather's temples.

"Grandfather, didn't you drink the water I gave you?"

"I drank it, but I've been traveling too much these past two days and I'm out of water." He didn't have the courage to tell Leng Youran that he was kind enough to give some of the water in his water bag to others.

He still couldn't let the people in front of him suddenly leave them. Even if the side branches of the Chen family were not good people, he couldn't just sit back and watch them die.

Thinking of the Chen family, he suddenly remembered another thing, "Oh, by the way, if the person is someone else this time, don't bother with Ran'er."

They originally thought that the Chen family's side branches were no good, but they didn't expect that the Fang family and the Li family were even worse.

Now that I think about it, it was such a pity that the girl gave them the mutton soup that night.

Those beasts deserve to starve to death.

He hadn't noticed anything when they were exiled together before. If they hadn't been on the road these past two days, he and Li Tianze would not have discovered the secrets of the Fang and Li families. Fortunately, no one in their family was replaced, otherwise they couldn't imagine what would happen in the future.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem between the Fang and Li families?"
