Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 169
Two things, nothing more than food and salt mines.

Bai Mingwei's attitude was respectful and humble: "General, please speak."

Huo Shixun said: "The good news has been sent back to Beijing. It won't be long before a letter comes from Beijing. Your Bai family army has a special status. As for how Beijing will handle it, I can't guarantee it."

"But it is certain that someone will come from Beijing. After all, His Highness Ninth is in the Bai Family Army. No matter which force is involved, they will take action because of the Bai Family Army's victory. You should be prepared."

Bai Mingwei nodded: "Mingwei understands."

Huo Shixun added: "Right now, apart from recovering Yao City and participating in the recovery of Ping City, you have made three major contributions."

"First, we found enough food for the people in Pingcheng; second, we discovered a salt mine; third, we rescued more than 1000 people."

"There are so many people and so many eyes. I really can't give these three credits to Bai Jiajun, so I want to ask you, are you willing to accept these three credits in your own name?"

Because when Bai Mingwei went to collect the bodies of his father, uncle and brother, he used the name of the eldest girl of the Bai family. No one from the Bai family army participated except Feng Qingchen, so the credit she made cannot be attributed to the Bai family army.

However, how could Bai Mingwei not understand that if these three achievements were so easy to obtain, General Huo would not ask her to say this.

She just thought for a moment and answered without hesitation: "Didn't Huo Jiajun find the grain and salt mine? What does it have to do with Mingwei? Mingwei just happened to save the people while collecting the bodies of his father and brother."

Finding food and discovering salt mines was a great achievement and worthy of praise for Huo Jiajun.

But if it is related to the Bai family army, or to anyone in the Bai family, it would be a big mistake.

Did your father and brother hide the grain?How else would you know where the food is?
Did your father and brother team up with the Beiyan people to dig the salt mine?How could you have discovered it so easily if you hadn't?
Just these two items are a serious crime of confiscating a family and exterminating a clan.

But when it came to rescuing the people, even Emperor Yuan Zhen and Qin Fengye couldn't say a word of "wrong".

Moreover, my father, uncle, and elder brothers went to Yinshan to save the people, and even caused the entire Bai family army to be wiped out as a result. This achievement complemented the original intention of my father, uncle, and elder brothers.

In addition, there were people all over the city testifying. Emperor Yuan Zhen wanted to have face and be known as a benevolent king, so he would not make a fuss about this matter.

She and Bai Jiajun will only be rewarded.

She was not only willing to give up two merits in exchange for an opportunity to clear the names of her father, uncle and brother, but she was also very grateful to General Huo.

Huo Shixun stared deeply at Bai Mingwei, with another deep thought in his eyes.

This little girl is not greedy for merit?

He is really relaxed and relaxed, worthy of being a descendant of Bai Xiang.

But in the end, he didn't say anything. He just said: "Salt and grain are of great importance and there is no need to delay. This general will go to the capital to report the process of Huo Jiajun's discovery of salt and grain, and report the rescue of the people by your Bai family."

Bai Mingwei thanked him solemnly: "Thank you, general!"

Huo Shixun said: "This is one, and the other is about cleaning up the remains of the Yinshan battlefield. It is currently snowy and it is difficult to move."

"As soon as the wind and snow stop, I will lead my troops to Yinshan Mountain to bury the bodies of the soldiers. Are you going in the name of the Bai family personally or in the name of the Bai family army?"

Clearing the battlefield is an extremely important matter.

The soldiers died on the battlefield, and if there was a chance, they would not be exposed in the wilderness.

Whether they dig a pit and bury them or send their remains home, it represents a country's respect for them.

Now that there is no war, the soldiers will never be allowed to lie in the cold valley again, and preparations must be made to deal with it.

In addition, the weapons and armor left on the battlefield must be recovered, these things can be reforged and used on the battlefield, which can save a lot of money for the treasury.

Bai Mingwei thought for a moment and said, "The Bai family army will be involved in this matter because they need to remember the heroic deeds of their predecessors."

"They also need to know that there is no waste in the Bai family army, they are all tough men! They are all heroes worth remembering!"

Huo Shixun sounded a little disapproving of this.Leading troops to fight, leading troops to fight, to put it nicely, is to perform one's duty, to put it worst, it means that one only needs to be able to lead troops and fight.

It's not that he doesn't understand Bai Mingwei's philosophy, let alone Bai Mingwei's ambitions.

He just had his edges smoothed by time.

He will be a good general and perform his duties. He also has his own beliefs and will implement them. He also has his own set of rules for being a human being, as for the rest.

Go to hell.

But he didn't say much, he just said: "Then make arrangements as soon as possible. Once the arrangements are made, send the news to this general."

He is still very serious, but his tone and attitude are much calmer.

"Yes." Bai Mingwei had just responded when he heard Huo Shixun mutter, "We come from a well-educated family, but why are our bones so hard?"

Bai Ming smiled and replied: "General, Mingwei believes that the people with the softest bones in the world are literati, and the people with the hardest bones are also literati. The only difference is whether these literati have faith in their hearts."

"The family motto of my Bai family only has eight words, 'cultivate one's moral character and establish one's character, the family, the country and the world'. This is our belief, so the necks of my Bai family are hard and the bones are even harder!"

Huo Shixun was speechless.

Granted, he couldn't fault it.

……

At this time, Bai Jing and everyone were still kneeling in front of the coffin.

It seemed like a long time had passed, until the sky outside showed signs of brightening, before Bai Jing spoke: "I beg you, please tell me the cause of death of my father, brother, and elder brother."

"How they died and in which battle they died, I have the right to know the truth."

The people kneeling together looked at each other.

Finally, Bai Xiuying decided to tell him the truth.

He knew about little Chuanyi when he was three years old, so there was no reason to hide it from the fifth brother.

No matter how sad you are, you have to face it.

But Bai Xiuying didn't know the reason why the fifth brother survived, so she told her father and brother's death in battle: "Fifth brother, uncle and the others died fighting in Yinshan to save the abducted people."

"Fourth brother and the others defended Pingcheng until the end. After being captured, they were beheaded in Yinshan Mountain. Of the [-] soldiers, only fifth brother survived. There is also seventh brother whose whereabouts are unknown."

When Bai Jing heard the news, she couldn't believe it at first, and then she went crazy.

He was crying and laughing, and had already fallen into extreme madness: "Sixth sister, what did you say? Say it again..."

Bai Xiuying saw that he was behaving abnormally and was speechless for a moment.

But then, Bai Jing vomited out another mouthful of blood.

The blood was splashed on the pale soul-calling flag, and there were scattered stars.

Bai Jing held the coffin and laughed with a mouth full of blood: "It was me who harmed you, it was me who harmed you..."

Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, and he collapsed again.

Bai Xiuying held on to her injury to catch him, but he did not faint, but lost his mind, muttering: "I am the one who deserves to die, why are you still letting me live?"
