Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 227 Don’t leave, stay
The dust-cleansing banquet was still going on, a lot of people had been drunk in the courtyard, and Wei Xiao was still exchanging cups with his former subordinates.

Jiang Ci leaned against the pillar with his hands folded, silently watching the crowd reveling, as if he was incompatible with the excitement, but he happened to be in the midst of it.

He is more like an outsider, observing everything, but he can integrate at any time if he wants.

"Miss Bai."

Seeing Bai Mingwei walking towards him, he smiled and called Bai Mingwei.

He is gentle and elegant, innocent and harmless, and no one can be hostile to him.

But this softness is by no means a weakness that can be bullied.

Who said blood must be exposed?
Bai Mingwei stood beside him: "Brother Jiang, why are you just a bystander?"

The title has changed. In the past, Bai Mingwei called him "Brother Jiang."

Perhaps for Bai Mingwei, her relationship with "Chaoyun" was just because her grandfather wanted to accept Jiang Ci as his adopted grandson.

But the word "Brother Jiang" comes from her own heart and is a respectful title for her partners who fight side by side.

Jiang Ci smiled and said: "Because only in this way can we stay awake forever, and be able to look at the world from an outsider's perspective. Only in this way can we grasp all the information wherever we look."

The sky is getting darker, and the night wind is getting stronger and colder.

Bai Mingwei seemed unaware. She turned her head and looked at Jiang Ci: "Tell me about Beiyan. No matter how detailed the book is, it is not as real as seeing it with your own eyes."

Jiang Ci replied: "Humanities, customs, politics, which aspect do you want to know?"

Bai Ming said slightly: "If Brother Jiang doesn't mind that the night is short, I will definitely want to hear it."

Jiang Ci thought for a while and then said: "Humanities, there is nothing to say. You also know that the husband of the eldest princess of Beiyan is from Zhongzhou. Now Beiyan's people are learning from Zhongzhou people."

"As for their customs, although they still have the characteristics of the grassland tribes, they have almost been assimilated by the people of Zhongzhou. Miss Bai, they are no longer just the barbarians described in the book."

"Politics, how should I say it? Our two countries, Dongling and Xichu, are located in the middle of the Nine Provinces Continent. Since ancient times, dynasties have risen and fallen."

"It declines and then rises, and rises and then declines, but we Zhongzhou people will always be the masters of this land. The Hu people have always been composed of tribes. Once this tribe declines, it means it will disappear forever."

"But now they are not what they used to be. Although the major forces in the DPRK are composed of several major tribes, I recently traveled to Beiyan. The feeling of this country to me is not much different from Dongling and Xichu."

Bai Ming smiled: "This is the reason why Beiyan has risen rapidly in recent decades. Only by turning themselves into Zhongzhou people can they become the masters of us Zhongzhou people. So they are actively working hard to learn from Zhongzhou and prepare for the southern invasion."

Jiang Ci nodded: "Miss Bai, the people of Beiyan compare the country to a big ship. They believe that an excellent emperor can control the direction of the country and lead the big ship to ride the wind and waves."

"But a foolish king would sail this big ship into a ditch. Miss Bai, although the Beiyan people are heinous invaders, their people are better off than those in Dongling."

Speaking of this, Jiang Ci stared at Bai Mingwei, as if trying to find some answer: "Is everything you insist on really correct? Don't you want to change something?"

Faced with this piercing inquiry and shocking words, Bai Mingwei's calm eyes did not stir up any waves.

She said: "Human beings are really strange things. We live in groups like wild beasts and are tightly bound by morality and ethics."

"But at the same time, we are very resistant to restraint. However, those who completely ignore the rules are either powerful enough or willing to make sacrifices."

"Who can live in a group without being restrained? Everyone in the world is like this, how can my Bai family be an exception?"

"If what Brother Jiang said is just a trivial matter, then it doesn't matter even if you go out of your way and enjoy the freedom of being unfettered."

This was said in a cryptic way, and when Jiang Ci heard this, he stopped continuing the topic.He said: "The people of Beiyan are extremely hospitable. We were able to avoid the pursuing soldiers this time because of their help."

Bai Ming said softly: "However, it is true that they are ferocious and cruel. Those warriors who slaughtered my people in Dongling were also recruited from the people of Beiyan."

But at the same time, she could understand Jiang Ci.

Only people like Jiang Ci who have struggled at the bottom and experienced the hardships of the world can truly understand the dangers of the world.

It's like, he can see that Dongling's is rotten to the root.

Governing a country is like governing a person. If the root cause is not found, no matter how good the medicine is, it can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Over time, it will completely rot.

It's not that she doesn't understand this truth, but understanding it is one thing and doing it is another.

However, no matter how serious the disease is, the wound that is bleeding must be covered first, otherwise the person will be wasted to death before the cause of the disease is found.

Right now, for Dongling, the most important thing is the battle with Beiyan.

Only when there are no external troubles can we rectify internal worries with peace of mind.

When Jiang Ci didn't say anything, she continued: "It's not about right or wrong, it's just about different positions. There are good enemies and bad people among our own people."

"It can only be said that when it comes to interests, in the face of survival, no matter how much humanity you have, you will give in to the beast."

Jiang Ci smiled: "That's right."

Bai Ming slightly turned to look at him: "Brother Jiang, my promise is still valid. The sky is high and the clouds are vast, you are free."

Jiang Ci was silent for a long time, then asked softly: "You obviously have something you need me to do, why did you let me go at this time?"

Bai Mingwei replied: "Because I have to bear what I should bear. Although I need your help, I shouldn't force you to sacrifice."

"Except for the promises I once made. I think everyone has the right to choose their own life. No one can take it away unless survival can make him bow his head."

Jiang Ci withdrew his gaze and looked at the people who were chatting with Wei Xiao with his hands behind his hands: "Anyway, if you lose your integrity once, it's not difficult to lose it again. Since I've lost it once with you, it doesn't matter if I lose it a few more times. ?”

Bai Mingwei was startled: "Huh?"

Jiang Ci looked back at her: "As you said, people live in groups, and I am not a wild beast that can live alone. Naturally, I want to find a place to live, and what I am interested in is your place. Don’t you just know that Miss Bai will accept it?”

In fact, during the period when he led Jin Mingshan's brothers to infiltrate Beiyan, he had been firmly trapped by this bond of life and death.

The feeling of being needed, relied on, and trusted is what he has been looking for, something that can stop him.

And he is willing to give up the freedom of the world for this.

Bai Mingwei and Jiang Ci looked at each other with open eyes. If he thought his words were false, it would be an unforgivable blasphemy.

"Actually." Bai Mingwei smiled softly, "I have been waiting for Brother Jiang to say this, because I am going to a dangerous place with Brother Jiang."

Jiang Ci nodded: "We have to do something, right? We have to hurry up. The treasure we robbed is hidden near Qiang City."

"Only by taking Qiang City can we put the ill-gotten wealth of Beiyan's powerful people into our own pockets."
