Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 196 Seven...Seventh Brother...

The rising speed was extremely fast, and only three figures were left to stir up the mist. The burning torch was almost blown out by the strong wind blowing by the ear.

At the last moment, the little white ferret grabbed the hem of Bai Mingwei's skirt.

As soon as the three of them landed, it grabbed Bai Mingwei's skirt and beat Bai Mingwei's calves.

Bai Mingwei ignored it and kicked it away.

It finally rolled up its round body, and then jumped onto Feng Qingchen's shoulder, like a little daughter-in-law who had been bullied by outsiders, covering her face with her plump little paws and crying.

Feng Qingchen patted its little head, then gently threw it aside.

"What's going on in this cave?"

Feng Qingchen leaned against the rock wall, his expression very calm, but the tightness of his body betrayed him.

At this time, Bai Mingwei also saw blood stains on his body.

The blood seeped out from the clothes, staining the thick outer clothes with bright red spots.

Arms, shoulders, back, legs... there are many places.

After falling from such a height and having to protect someone, how could he not be injured at all?
Bai Ming sighed slightly and asked him again: "Is it serious?"

Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Feng Qingchen had no choice but to tell the truth: "No, it's just numbness."

"Are you numb?" Bai Ming's eyes were slightly startled, and then he pursed his lips.

If you sleep on her pillow for a long time, your arms will be numb and your body will also be numb.

It deserves to be numb.

Listening to Bai Ming's slightly disturbed breathing, Feng Qingchen couldn't hide his smile. He lowered his sleeves to cover his bloody arms and smiled lightly: "It will be fine soon, don't worry."

Bai Mingwei didn't say anything and focused on the shadow guard.

The shadow guard immediately answered the master's question: "Reporting to the master, this is a naturally formed cave. In addition to the cave entrance buried by snow, there is another exit."

"It's just that there are traces of artificial cover at the exit. It seems that someone has been here, but they don't want to be discovered here, so they hide the entrance of the cave."

Bai Mingwei thought for a moment: "Perhaps we are not the first to discover that there is salt here. This can also explain why the Beiyan people burned down the salt mines they were mining after Pingcheng was recaptured."

"Only by diverting attention there, these rich mineral deposits will be ignored. Such a rich amount of salt is indeed worth the Northern Yan people's willingness to capture five cities."

Feng Qingchen nodded: "Every bustle in the world is for profit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit. If it is for the salt mine, the people of Beiyan do have sufficient motives."

Bai Ming clenched his fists slightly, and his hatred surged like a tide: "If we put these salt mines into their warehouse, I don't know how much money they can save."

"I have pity on my [-] Bai family army, and pity the people in Dongling who have been tortured by the war and have become the victims of a group of flies and dogs!"

The firelight shone lightly, and the tears in Bai Mingwei's eyes reflected the crystal light.

Just a deep breath, the tears have been suppressed, replaced by seemingly calm, but deep into the bone marrow of resentment.

Feng Qingchen remained silent. Human nature is so cold. As a human being in the mortal world, he did not speak to judge.

Bai Mingwei quickly calmed down and said in a particularly calm tone: "Let's go out!"

Feng Qingchen nodded: "Okay."

So, the shadow guard supported Feng Qingchen and walked in front, while Bai Mingwei held his sword and walked behind.

After only two turns, Xiao Hei stood in front and waited. When he saw Feng Qingchen, he snorted excitedly.

In this way, the three of them, one horse and one marten, walked in the deep and narrow cave by the light of a torch.

"Tick!"

A few drops of water fell from the end of the pointed stalagmite.The subtle sounds were clear to the ears in this dark and humid cave, making the entire cave even quieter.

After walking for about two quarters of an hour, several people finally came out of the cave.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the whole world was covered in white, which made people's eyes hurt.

"Don't worry, open it slowly."

Feng Qingchen put her hand in front of Bai Mingwei's eyes to block her from the biting light.

Bai Ming took a step back and calmly distanced herself from the hand. After a while, she slowly opened her eyes.

When her eyes adjusted to the light, she discovered that the exit was actually hidden in the ravine. The location at this time had already passed the long valley buried in snow.

If he hadn't entered the cave accidentally, who would have guessed that there was a mystery hidden here?

Feng Qingchen waved, and Xiao Hei immediately came over and rubbed his arm affectionately.

Feng Qingchen got on his horse and stretched out his hand to Bai Mingwei: "Little girl, let's go, we are very close to our destination."

Bai Mingwei was about to mount his horse, but the shadow guard brought two horses over: "Master, I have extra horses, so you don't have to ride with Miss Bai."

Feng Qingchen's smile was very warm, but upon closer inspection it seemed a little stiff: "It's very thoughtful."

Bai Mingwei didn't pay attention to these small details. She saw that the horses brought by the shadow guard were tall and strong, so she pulled one over and turned on it.

"drive!"

Bai Ming flicked his whip slightly, and the horse galloped wildly. The horse's hooves stepped on the snow, sending up snow and dust.

Without Feng Qingchen's urging, Xiao Hei also started running, chasing Bai Mingwei's horse.

The little white ferret climbed on Feng Qingchen's shoulder at some point, its little fat paws hugged Feng Qingchen's neck, and rubbed its little head again and again.

Feng Qingchen comforted it: "It's a small injury, don't worry."

The little white ferret didn't say a word, and hugged her even tighter with her little paws.

Xiao Hei's bumps made Feng Qingchen's face turn a little pale, but this did not affect his speed.

About half an hour passed, and the three of them had arrived at their destination.

After being identified by the shadow guard, Bai Ming slightly turned over/dismounted.

She rubbed her cheeks that had been blown cold by the wind, and stepped on the thick snow, one foot deeper and one foot shallower, walking very quickly.

"Slow down, be careful of slippery roads."

Feng Qingchen's reminders from time to time attracted the attention of the shadow guards.

Bai Mingwei in front quickly stopped and looked ahead in silence.

Because she discovered that the so-called "traces" were just a pile of fire that had been extinguished for a long time. The wood ash was covered with heavy snow and turned into wet black mud. A few unburned firewood pieces were scattered on the ground.

It can be seen that the person who lit the fire deliberately put out the fire with earth before leaving. Judging from the amount of ashes and the burnt marks of the wood, this person did not stay here long and left in a very hurry.

Bai Ming looked back at the shadow guard slightly: "There is nothing left behind. The smell has long since dissipated. How are you sure that this is what my seventh brother left?"

The shadow guard calmly pointed to a tree next to the fire: "Miss Bai, there is a mark left by the Seventh Young Master on the trunk of that tree about a few feet from the ground."

Bai Mingwei was doubtful, so she walked over and quickly pushed aside the snow.

With just one glance, her eyes suddenly condensed.

"Seven...seventh brother..."
