Infinite crossing from violet

Chapter 71 071: Colonel and Slave
Uptown.

On the west side of Leiden, away from the port.

As the name suggests, this is the area where the upper classes gather.

The buildings here are luxurious, and the people who live here are either rich or noble.

The coachman tightened the reins, and the carriage slowly stopped on Holin Street.

Lu Ye pulled Violet's men out of the car, and then held up the black umbrella.

The rain was pattering.

There are not many pedestrians on the street.

It is said that after hearing the latest battle reports from the front, the number of residents in this area began to decrease.

Some timid rich people chose to flee with money because they were worried about their own safety.

City authorities seem to be aware of the problem.

If it is serious, measures of compulsory detention will be taken, but after all, there are only a small number of people who leave, which does not constitute any loss.

So in order not to deepen the pressure on the citizens, the city government adopted a soft policy to appease people's hearts.

For example, the fireworks show a few days ago had a certain effect.

Some are gone, some are in the works, and some are not.

They have options all along.

leave, or stay.

Those in the lower city had no choice at all.

Thinking of this, Lu Ye began to cast aside the so-called gap between rich and poor.

He secretly cursed those rich people with the idea of ​​"If you want to die, let's all die together, how bad it would be to sneak away alone".

This is the so-called hatred of the rich.

But more is that he feels that the people in the lower city are miserable.

In those historical battles since ancient times, the people who were beaten to the capital by the enemy were miserable.

Just talking about the Battle of Stalingrad, men, women and children were all digging trenches at that time.

It would be fine if Layden unilaterally declared defeat, but if he persisted, the place might turn into a purgatory.

When he came to the white-painted three-story western-style building, Lu Ye put away his umbrella and rang the doorbell.

The buzzer sounded, and a moment later, the carved front door opened.

"Hello?" said the woman in servant's attire.

"Good morning, we are here to visit Captain Fielding Cass."

"Well, the master didn't order any guests to come in advance, so I'll go and inform you, please wait here for a while, both of you."

About a few minutes later, Lu Ye and Violet were invited into the room.

The white porcelain cup was steaming.

The living room is brightly lit.

Fielding, who was wearing a woolen coat, sat on the sofa across from the coffee table, with a gentle appearance, but his left sleeve was empty.

"What a distinguished guest. I've heard about your two names, so I don't know what you want to see me for."

The reputation of Lu Ye and Violet has been established in the military department.

A record of 99% adaptability has been achieved in one fell swoop, which may reverse the situation of the war.

The gap in technology sometimes brings a gap in thinking.

Some high-level plan to get rid of Violet ended in failure.

Because they don't yet understand what neural connection is.

As long as there is data, the girl itself is no longer important.

Lu Ye sighed inwardly.

"I have a friend……"

He told the general things, hoping to get the position of the Cliff family heir.

According to Hawkins, although the property of the Cliff family was confiscated, only 90.00% of the property was confiscated considering that the family had made great contributions to the railway industry and out of humanitarianism for the surviving child. Confiscation, a small portion of real estate is not included.

"Well, you are a person who has made contributions to the country. I can still help with this small favor."

"The Ringer Manor in the southwest of Leiden is more than 20 kilometers away from here, and it will take several hours to take a carriage."

Fielding also carefully attached a map of the suburbs.

Lu Ye thanked her and prepared to leave after a few polite words.

Fielding's cold words sounded.

"Then I won't send it off, but you are not from Leiden, so it's better to leave as soon as possible."

"Can you tell me why?"

"I heard that you were rescued by Osinlide in a shipwreck?"

"Yes."

"Let me give you a piece of advice, don't get involved with him." Fielding glanced at his empty left sleeve, "It will end badly, that person has no principles in his actions, and people without principles are terrible."

"Has anything happened to you before?"

"He took advantage of him and lost his left arm. What's ridiculous is that I can't even think of revenge when facing him. I can only retire and recuperate at home like a ruined dog." Fielding smiled , full of self-deprecation.

"Used by the colonel... the army doesn't care?"

"He had 'just cause' and I fell for it."

Fielding would not elaborate.

But these two simple sentences can already explain a lot of things.

"Well, can I ask a question?" Lu Ye heard the deeds from Hawkins before, "I heard that the colonel's past is a mystery, and no one knows his experience... After making so many achievements, he didn't even Isn't it strange that there is no award ceremony?"

"Your curiosity is really strong." Fielding smiled, "Actually, there is nothing to hide. Leiden is a place that values ​​origin, and there are many descendants of merchants or nobles among those who join the army. If you let them know a How would they feel when former slaves stepped on their heads?"

"Once upon a time...you mean Osinlide, that colonel used to be a slave?!"

"You look very surprised. If it weren't for his status, his status would be higher than it is now. The military department suppressed his file because of this reason. On the one hand, some officers are dissatisfied, and on the other hand, they are paying attention to it. The country of origin, it is a great tolerance for Ossinlide to sit in the position of colonel."

Lu Ye felt something explode in his head.

Ever since he was on the training ground, he felt a sense of disobedience in his heart.

No wonder so many people looked down on the colonel, even those who were lower than him dared to tease him.

Not only because of loss of power and factional struggles, but most importantly because of identity.

slave.

collar.

A girl living on an isolated island.

With a boy who looks similar to her.

It turned out to be the case.

The stomach pouch seemed to be churning, and there were bursts of cramps.

--how so?
It must be my own illusion.

Lu Ye shifted his gaze to Violet.

The latter was obediently holding the teacup, looking at the tea leaves brewing at the bottom of the cup, not caring about Lu Ye's conversation with the captain at all.

From her point of view, she just took the "little dog" out for a walk.

After saying goodbye to Captain Fielding, Lu Ye got into the carriage to Green Manor.

Lu Ye's mood was complicated.

To be honest, he didn't even care about the collar.

"Violet."

"I'm here."

Under the gaze of the girl's calm eyes.

Lu Ye opened his mouth, and then swallowed the words that came to his lips.

"Let's go to the night stand to eat barbecue at night."

He said so.

It was still raining in the sky.

Lu Ye raised his head, feeling really fucking sad.
