Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 223 Reunion

Bai Mingwei saw Jiang Ci again five miles outside the city.

Under the cold winter, everything is depressed and chilly.

The snow has not melted everywhere, and the cold wind has cut through the dry forest grass, making a low cry of cold ice.

Looking around, there are no humans and horses, and everywhere you look is a vast white landscape.

But at this moment, a group of people emerged from the white snow, coming through the morning mist. The closer they got, the clearer they became.

Bai Mingwei's eyes always fell on the leading man. When the man approached, she turned over/dismounted and raised her lips: "Brother Chaoyun has had a hard journey."

Jiang Ci saw her far away.

He just looked at it and saw the flat wilderness stretching all the way to the sky, and behind her, an ancient city that had gone through years of smoke and wind and frost stood tall.

The world is filled with the unique purity of white snow. The woman in red clothes and golden armor stands alone on the snow-white field where all the scenery is empty.

"I've lost weight." Jiang Ci smiled, with a hint of joy at the end of his eyebrows as he reunited after a long separation, "He's also getting darker."

Bai Mingwei looked at Jiang Ci, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. His handsome face was already covered with unkempt beard, and his hair had become frizzy from running around. He no longer looked like the orchid jade tree he once was.

She smiled slightly: "Brother Chaoyun has also lost weight and is even uglier."

Jiang Ci dismounted and pursed his lips tightly between his beard: "I don't like to hear these words. I am handsome and elegant, how can I have anything to do with the word ugly?"

Bai Ming's smile did not change. She took out the dried wormwood, dipped it in the wine pot, and lightly sprinkled it on Jiang Ci: "This is a wine to celebrate victory. Brother Chaoyun has returned in triumph. Mingwei is very happy."

Jiang Ci looked back, his gaze spreading across the people with frosty faces: "I brought back 500 of the 480 people. I have lived up to your trust, right?"

"Brother Chaoyun has never let you down." Bai Ming raised his eyes slightly, reflecting the haggard face that traveled day and night. "My grandfather was very happy to know about brother Chaoyun. He asked Mingwei to convey his greetings on his behalf."

Wisps of snow mist turned into mist. Jiang Ci was stunned for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "It's my turn to greet him."

Bai Mingwei added: "Fifth brother is still alive, but he is too injured to come to greet you. He is waiting for you in the city now."

Surprise flashed across Jiang Ci's face. He opened his mouth, but no words came out for a long time.

Although they had never been together and had no deep feelings, he was undoubtedly happy when he heard the news.

Bai Mingwei looked past him, who had a look of surprise on his face, and bowed deeply to the hundreds of exhausted heroes behind him: "Mingwei congratulates you all on your triumphant return. Mingwei is very happy to see you all again."

Everyone dismounted in unison and immediately saluted Bai Mingwei: "Please don't be too polite, young lady."

Bai Ming raised his head slightly with a smile on his face: "Thank you for your hard work, the city has prepared some wine for you to wash away the wind and dust. Brother Wei is also waiting for you. Without further ado, let's enter the city. I believe you also want to see Brother Wei as soon as possible. .”

Jiang Ci got on his horse and said, "Just in time, I'm hungry too. Girl, please."

Bai Ming slightly turned on his horse and said, "Everyone, please."

The clatter of horse hooves resounded across the wilderness, and the white snow drifted in the wind, gradually blurring the figures of everyone galloping on their horses.

Jiang Ci returned with 480 nine people. Only Bai Mingwei went out of the city to greet these unknown heroes, which seemed not solemn enough.

But when a banquet was set up in the large and empty government office, and the boss they were sworn to follow was waiting at the door of the government office with a wine flask, their tired hearts seemed to be soothed.

Those who walked through forests and rivers, evaded numerous guards, escaped countless pursuers, and encountered hardships and difficulties during the long journey.

Those who are always ready to escape the thrilling danger.

Those conflicting feelings of wanting to complete the mission but also wanting to get home alive.

The experience of blood and tears...

At this moment, everything disappeared.

Because they returned alive, and at the end of the journey was the person they respected the most.

What could be more soothing to the soul than this?
480 All nine people knelt down: "My subordinates pay homage to the boss."

Wei Xiao didn't say anything, all his words condensed into a few words: "Just come back."

He slowly walked to Jiang Ci carrying the wine bottle, stared at Jiang Ci with his deep eyes, and finally said sincerely: "Thank you." Jiang Ci patted Wei Xiao on the shoulder: "Stop talking nonsense, how much can you drink?"

Wei Xiao didn't resent Jiang Ci's actions. Perhaps when he saw that the five hundred brothers who had been born and died were almost brought back intact by Jiang Ci, the fact that Jiang Ci had deceived him in Jinming Mountain and even set his sights on him was also Has been written off.

Gratitude and resentment are lost in this smile.

"Thank you for your hard work." Wei Xiao stood in front of the brothers, "Get up. Today, as the head of the family, I will take care of you. Let's drink and eat as much as we can before."

"However, after this meal, I will be the deputy general of the Bai family army, and everyone must remember that the leader of the Bai family army is the eldest girl of the Bai family."

When Wei Xiao stopped, Jiang Ci put his arms around his shoulders and imitated his tone and said, "Even if our identities have changed, from rootless duckweeds living in the open air to the Bai family army with orders and prohibitions, we will The brotherhood we have had through life and death will not change in any way."

Wei Xiao slapped Jiang Ci's hand away and said with a dark face, "Shut up, I'm not that familiar with you."

Jiang Ci didn't take Wei Xiao's attitude seriously, and instead joked: "Actually, you respect me from the bottom of your heart. I know that. After all, I brought you 480 nine brothers."

On the haggard faces of the brothers who laughed heartily, they laughed heartily and showed their true feelings without any concealment.

As if they were still in Jinming Mountain, they gathered around their beloved boss.

Wei Xiao ignored Jiang Ci. With a wave of his hand, the seal of the wine jar was opened, and he poured the wine on the ground: "First of all, respect our brothers who left their lives in Beiyan! They are well-deserved iron-blooded heroes!"

Everyone picked up the wine bowl on the table and drank it all. One of them said: "Brothers, go ahead and ask your subordinates to bring a message to the boss. It's no big deal if your head falls off. After 18 years, you will be a good man again!"

"Being able to do something meaningful at the last moment of their lives will allow them to hold their heads high when they meet their boss again in the next life. It's just that the boss's kindness must be repaid by the brothers!"

Wei Xiao poured the wine into the bowl. He raised the bowl and drank it all in one gulp. When he smashed the bowl on the table, the pain in his eyes disappeared.

To the death of his brother, he would only toast one glass of wine.

Because he knew in his heart that in this troubled world where people are not human beings, death follows them everywhere.

The most important task of the living people is to happily finish their unfinished lives for those who have passed away.

"Come! Drink!" With tears forced into the depths of his eyes, Wei Xiao spoke cheerfully, greeting his deceased brother.

Bai Mingwei watched everyone enjoying the wine and conviviality, and the scenes in Jinming Mountain seemed to emerge before his eyes.

She did not participate in the joy of reuniting after a long separation. Instead, as a bystander, she watched silently as Wei Xiao exchanged cups with his brothers.

Jiang Ci was not interested in wine. He picked up a bowl of rice and put it into his mouth. When he was halfway through chewing and there was still a piece of green vegetables hanging on his lips, his eyes inadvertently fell on the young man in plain clothes not far away.

At that moment, he stopped swallowing and saw a hint of wetness in Bai Jing's eyes: "It's really strange to say that when I heard the eldest girl say that you are still alive, I felt no emotion in my heart."

Jiang Ci swallowed a mouthful of food and continued: "But when I see you at this moment, a few words clearly appear in my heart - it's great that you are alive."

Without any introduction, he could tell at a glance that it was the surviving fifth son of the Bai family.

Because in Bai Jing's eyes, he could read the suppressed hatred and unforgettable sadness, which were the scars burned deep in the eyes after experiencing life and death, and losing their loved ones.

Regardless of morality, I am still happy for the old man.

"It's good to be alive," he said from the bottom of his heart.

Bai Jing raised her eyes to meet his gaze: "Eat first, and then we can reminisce about old times after we are full."

When we meet for the first time, how can we reminisce about the past?

But some people are just like that - they feel like old friends once they meet, and they can naturally use the word "reminiscing about the past".

There was a faint smile on Bai Mingwei's lips. She had deliberately arranged this meal to reward these meritorious brothers.

It also gave them a chance to say goodbye to their past selves, allowing them to drink and talk happily for the last time, and get drunk in the three thousand floating worlds where they once felt free.

After waking up from the dream, they were the Bai family army who were bound by orders and responsibilities.

At this moment, Yu Jiao came to Bai Mingwei and whispered a few words quietly.

Bai Mingwei listened quietly and then told Bai Jing: "Fifth brother, something happened at the school training ground. I will go and solve it first. I'll leave it to you."
