Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 173 Live to see people, die to see corpses

Two days later.

The morning light is misty and the heavy snow has stopped.

Thick snow covered the ground, and the white snow spread to the sky, leaving only a plain pale color in the world.

The north gate of Pingcheng slowly opened, and a group of people filed in.

They carried military flags with majestic lions embroidered on them.

Each soldier was wearing armor, but had a white cloth band tied on his forehead, and the saddles of the war horses were also tied with a white cloth.

This is the Bai family army who came in the dark, five thousand old, weak, sick and disabled survivors brought from the capital.

They walked slowly and uniformly into the city, passed through the main street, and headed to the south gate to join the Huo family's army.

The man at the head was actually Liu Yao, who was usually idle.

Today, he took off his royal robes and showed off his clothes in plain white.

Originally he had no intention of coming, he just wanted to know if the heavy snow had frozen the little leopard to death.

But when he led the team forward, he was so immersed in the tragedy that he couldn't help but restrain his personality and blend into the sad atmosphere.

……

In the mourning hall.

Bai Mingwei led everyone in the family to respectfully burn three sticks of incense.

"Father, second uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle, brothers, today I, the Bai family army, and the Huo family army will go to Yinshan to collect the bones of [-] soldiers."

"Please rest assured that the heroic souls will not be left without a home, and the sacrifice of the [-] Bai family troops will not be in vain."

"Mingwei promises you that one day, he will definitely fight for the honor and mourning that these [-] Bai family army soldiers deserve."

Bai Jing is still weak, but has recovered some strength.

He knelt at the lower left position of Bai Mingwei and respectfully raised the incense in his hand: "First uncle, second uncle, third uncle, father, brothers and sixth brothers, Wu Lang will definitely help Mingwei to achieve her wish and my wish." What the Bai family hopes for."

Xiao Chuanyi, his sisters-in-law, and the sixth girl Bai Xiuying all said in unison: "Please bless the Bai family army and wish everything goes well."

Everyone tacitly agreed not to mention Bai Yu, even though they had been waiting for a long time in the past two days, and they were all eager to find him.

Although they now want to dig out Yinshan, inch by inch, until they find it.

But everyone suppressed their eagerness, fearing that this strong hope would be disappointed again.

After everyone burned incense, Bai Mingwei and Bai Jing set off together.

The sisters-in-law don't have to go that day, the sixth girl doesn't have to go, and neither does Xiao Chuanyi.

The burden of finding Bai Yu can only be left to the Bai Mingwei brothers and sisters.

Before leaving, Bai Mingwei held Yu Jiao's hand: "Sister-in-law Seven, don't worry, I won't let you go anywhere. If you want to see people alive, you will see corpses if you die."

Yu Jiao said nothing, just watched the brother and sister leave the mourning hall.

On this day, people got up earlier than usual.

They lit incense candles at the door, illuminating every road in Liangcheng.

The candlelight formed bright lines, and the light reflected in the snow, as if guiding the dead in the direction of home.

The streets and alleys are hung with soul-calling flags, and paper money is flying all over the sky, falling in a thick layer on the ground. The wind sometimes lifts the paper money, and there is a big puff of paper money.

Before the craftsmen could carve the names of the [-] heroes on the several stone tablets erected at the city gate, thick incense ash had already accumulated at the foot of the stone tablets.

The people of this city are trying their best to remember the heroes who died in the cold mountains.

"Good morning, little girl." Feng Qingchen was waiting there early at the entrance of the courtyard.

Hearing Bai Mingwei's footsteps coming towards him, he smiled and greeted him diligently.

Regarding Feng Qingchen, Bai Jing had already learned the general situation from his wife.

He heard his wife talking about what Feng Qingchen did to the Bai family, and thought that he must be a chivalrous and gentle man.

But when he saw Feng Qingchen's graceful appearance, he didn't feel gentle. Instead, he felt for a moment that his heart was as cold as snow.He was sure that this was an extremely cold man, so he wondered, how could such a smile appear on Feng Qingchen's face?

"Master Feng is probably interested in the older girl."

Thinking of his wife's words, he frowned.

He stared at Feng Qingchen's every move, as if he would rush out to protect his sister if Feng Qingchen did anything wrong.

Bai Mingwei responded calmly: "Good morning, Master Feng."

Seeing his sister's open expression, his tense face softened somewhat.

Feng Qingchen cupped his hands in greeting: "Good morning, Fifth Young Master."

Bai Jing nodded without saying much.

Feng Qingchen didn't mind, so he put another layer of cloak on Bai Mingwei, and then stood next to her, with a smile on his lips.

With Bai Jing by her side, Bai Mingwei felt as if she had been burned by her cloak, but she didn't show it and just calmly thanked her: "Thank you, Master Feng."

Bai Jing was about to speak, but Bai Mingwei got there first: "It's getting late, let's go!"

Bai Jing had no choice but to give up, as he would not chase after the two of them and seize the matter.

On the street, the three of them met up with the Bai family army who came from Yao City.

"Meet His Highness Ninth Prince."

The three saluted together.

Liu Yao glanced behind Bai Mingwei, as if he was looking for something.

When he couldn't see the figure, he immediately looked away, never daring to look at Bai Mingwei.

He was so afraid of this shrew that just by hearing the sound, his hand holding the reins trembled uncontrollably.

Seeing that Bai Jing was so skinny and skinny, with her clothes hanging dangling from her body, he wanted to taunt her, but in the end he stopped and made an excuse.

"Eighty thousand soldiers died for the country, and their bones were exposed in the Yin Mountain Valley. As a descendant of the Liu family, I cannot sit idly by and ignore it. Today I will personally go to Yin Mountain to collect the bones of the soldiers!"

The sentences are clanging and resounding.

Liu Yao moved himself.

Bai Mingwei knew what level he belonged to, so she cupped her hands and said softly: "Your Majesty the Ninth Prince is wise."

Liu Yao didn't want to talk to her, so he immediately rode on his horse: "Without further delay, let's set off!"

The team marched towards the south gate in orderly steps.

Of the five thousand soldiers brought from the capital, after two battles, only less than four thousand were able to go to Yinshan at this time.

Bai Jing glanced back. He heard that this was a team of old, weak, sick and disabled, but he never thought that old, weak, sick and disabled really meant that literally.

A soldier with a broken arm and a lame leg, a veteran with wrinkles on his face.

After just one glance, he looked away and took a deep breath.

He didn't know what Mingwei's mood was when he led this team on the expedition, but he knew that there must be unknown difficulties and obstacles involved.

But it was obvious, but never revealed.

Based on this alone, Mingwei is beyond his reach.

The team marched outside the city and met up with the Huo family army.

Huo Shixun was a little surprised when he saw Liu Yao.

Obviously, he didn't expect Liu Yao to appear here.

He rode his horse over to greet him.

A few people exchanged pleasantries and led the team to march towards Yinshan Mountain.
