Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 177

Yinshan.

Deep in the valley.

With the concerted efforts of the soldiers, as large earth pits on the ridge were buried one after another, the remains of the soldiers were almost cleared.

Almost all the people here are warriors.

They knew at a glance how brutal this battle was.

Those Huo Jiajun who originally criticized the Bai Jiajun also became awe-inspiring towards the Bai Jiajun after picking up the corpses one after another. They also understood better why the people of Pingcheng turned to them.

As General Huo said, this was obtained with the lives of [-] soldiers.

And the Bai family army who came to Yinshan today felt that the armor on their bodies was even more heavy.

Earlier, they were still wondering why the eldest girl ordered them instead of the comrades who were recruited. They thought that the eldest girl felt that they were not capable of guarding Yao City, so they kept the brothers from Jinming Mountain.

It wasn't until this moment that they understood the meaning of the big girl.

They are the most regular members of the Bai family, warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles, but from time to time they lose their fighting spirit due to their own irreversible flaws.

Looking at these martyrs who fought bloody battles to the end, they realized what a respectable team the Bai Army was.

There are no cowards and no weaklings in the Bai family army.

And the eldest girl wants to use this method to tell them that they are not weak!
They are both in the Bai family army, how can they lag behind their predecessors?

Almost everyone secretly vowed to keep the reputation earned by their predecessors with their lives, and to keep the image of the Bai family army full of passion and iron bones.

Because they are the Bai family army, and there are no weak ones among them!
At the same time, being able to collect the bones of these heroic seniors gradually made up for the regret of not being able to collect the bodies of my colleagues, and also filled the missing corner of my heart.

Make them stronger and more whole.

Liu Yao looked at the officers and soldiers busy, and it was rare that they didn't act careless.

In fact, in his concept, he is the master, and the life and death of all those who obey them are not that important.

At this moment, he still didn't feel much about the scene of corpses scattered everywhere.

Having once been able to kill slaves at will, it was difficult for him to learn to respect life, and it was even harder for him to appreciate how valuable these soldiers were in sacrificing their lives for the country.

But the serious atmosphere made him restrain his incompatible side, and he looked like he was mourning the deceased from his heart.

Huo Shixun stood next to him and said thanks in a serious tone: "Your Highness, Ninth Prince, thank you very much for coming today."

Liu Yao muttered: "Is this king so important? Is a visit to Yinshan worthy of General Huo's gratitude?"

Huo Shixun's expression did not change due to his attitude, but he explained in an uncharacteristically serious manner: "One visit by the Ninth Prince is more meaningful than ten visits by these nearly [-] soldiers."

"Because His Highness's presence here means that the sacrifice of the soldiers has not been forgotten by the royal family; it means that the royal family has not forgotten the merits of the soldiers who defended this land to the death for the Liu family."

"At the same time, it can also inspire these living soldiers. Because seeing His Highness, they will think that their bravery in killing enemies in the future will be seen from above, so they will only work harder in the next battle."

Liu Yao rolled his sleeves: "If I had known there were so many benefits, when the Bai family came to pick up the corpse a few days ago, I should have followed."

Huo Shixun was startled. He was probably talking to a fool, right?

Forget it, decades of experience told him that talking to fools would not lead to anything, so he quit.

True to his word, Huo Shixun bowed his hand and said: "Your Highness, I will go to the front and have a look first. I will excuse you."

Liu Yao scratched his head: "What the hell? Didn't you praise me just now? Why did you look so disgusted in the blink of an eye?"

After muttering, he continued to watch the soldiers carefully picking up the bones.

During this time, he had a lot of confusion.

For example, why does the three-year-old Bai family's eyes light up when he talks about the righteousness of his family and country?
The little leopard of the Bai family was almost killed by the Beiyan people, why would they rather die than surrender?Are you still proud of it afterwards?

For another example, what supports these soldiers to not be afraid of life and death, and to regard death as home when facing powerful enemies?He couldn't figure it out and no one could tell him.

Somehow, the cheerful look of the little carrot head flashed through his mind. The child patted his chest and answered loudly for him: "Because of faith."

Liu Yao shook his head, feeling that he was hysterical.

In order to get rid of this strange thought, he squatted down, dug the loose snow layer with his hands, and built a small snowdrift.

Seeing someone looking at him, he immediately explained angrily: "I am building a snowman to show to [-] heroic spirits, isn't it okay?!"

In this operation of clearing the battlefield, most people were suffering.

Suffering from anger and suffering from sadness.

And the one who suffered the most was Bai Jing.

In addition to anger and sadness, he has one more emotion than everyone else - guilt.

He still can't get rid of it, and he can't help but blame himself for the death of all the soldiers.

Therefore, seeing these once living people now just cold corpses, his heart was filled with regret and self-blame.

Every time he saw a corpse, his regret and guilt increased.

Until it accumulated to the fullest, until he could hardly bear it anymore.

He was worse off than dead, but he still had to grit his teeth and keep going.

Because he didn't want to let down that little child, and he didn't want to let down the child's hope that he would live.

He didn't even want to let down the blood flowing through his body.

The flowers that bloom in despair are often bright and gorgeous; the glimmer of light that lights up in the dark night is so bright that it makes people tremble.

For everything he carries, for the surname Bai, and for the strong, sensible and heart-warming child.

He must bloom a flower in this despair and find a ray of light in the dark night.

Thinking of this, he pushed away the guards with unsteady steps and staggered towards the place where the corpse was parked, looking for his seventh brother who had yet to be seen.

"Xiao Qi, where are you..."

"Fifth Young Master, someone on the eldest lady's side found the seventh Young Master's jade pendant."

The anxious guards came to report the news to him.

"Fifth Young Master, slow down! Be careful of slippery roads!"

The guard shouted anxiously, but Bai Jing had stumbled far away.

He ran in a hurry, continued to get up after falling, and ran in the direction of Bai Mingwei regardless.

"Mingwei..."

A timid call.

Bai Mingwei followed the sound and looked. Fifth brother was standing not far away, looking at her breathlessly. His pale and chapped face was slightly flushed from running over.

Fifth Brother was covered in mud. He probably ran too fast and fell over and over again in the snow and mud.

Bai Jing seemed to be pinned, and he just looked at Bai Mingwei, with tension, fear, and confusion in his eyes that he could not accept the possible outcome.

Her eyes, as clear as glass, seemed to become more fragile after shedding tears.

"Mingwei...have you found Xiao Qi?"
