Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 260 Into the Tiger's Den
lotus city.

A dead silence.

The long and sparse wind occasionally passes through the streets and alleys, and the silver bells on the branches jingle.

Today is the Beiyan people’s God-worshiping Festival, and the festival has nothing to do with the Dongling people.

In order not to spoil the atmosphere, all Tanglin residents were prohibited from going out. Only soldiers patrolled the empty streets, and the cold sound of soldiers' armor could be heard from time to time.

In a silk and satin shop, a small gap was opened in the window, revealing a beautiful eye, the bottom of which seemed to be covered with frost and snow, making it look cold.

After a while, the window was closed, as if the eye had never appeared.

"Miss Bai, are you ready to take action?"

Bai Ming turned slightly and turned her back to the window. The few beams of skylight that leaked in saw her calm and calm face like a deep pool: "Brother Jiang, Mr. Gongsun will leave it to you and Ah Wu and Ah Liu. Make sure you get out of the city safely."

Jiang Ci looked at her, with a dark look in his eyes: "Miss Bai, please don't worry."

Bai Mingwei met his worried gaze: "Brother Jiang, take care."

Jiang Ci withdrew his gaze and covered his figure with a black cloak: "It is you who should be taken care of, Miss Bai. I will wait for you at the agreed place outside the city when you arrive."

"If you don't come as promised, I will report the news of your sacrifice to the Bai family army and immediately order troops to attack the lotus city."

"If you don't want us to fight this unprepared battle, you must come back alive, but don't die."

Bai Ming raised the corners of his lips slightly, with a confident look on his eyes and brows: "You will be alive. The mountains and rivers have not yet been restored, how dare you die like this."

In this way, Jiang Ci didn't say much. Together with Ah Wu and Ah Liu, he took the disguised Mr. Gongsun and sneaked quietly into the slowly falling night.

The night dimmed the figures of several people, but it could not hide Bai Mingwei's bright eyes.

She glanced at the clothes Jiang Ci had prepared.

It was a set of Hufu, a fire-colored robe with white sleeves.

The sleeves are trimmed with white fox fur, and there is a hat also trimmed with fox fur, paired with a pair of lambskin boots.

This is the unique dress of Beiyan people, and she is going to wear this dress to sneak into General Yuan's mansion to create chaos and give Jiang Ci and others a chance to leave the city.

She once said that the defense would be much weaker today, but that was not the case. The more important the day was, the more vigilant the Beiyan people would be.

Perhaps it was predicted that she would leave today, and thousands of troops had already prepared an ambush, waiting for her to fall into the trap.

However, the higher the level of danger, the easier it is to find opportunities - if most people's eyes are focused on her, it means that Jiang Ci and the others are safer.

……

Half an hour later, Bai Mingwei appeared in the largest mansion in Liancheng.

This is the home of the God Worship Festival and the place where Beiyan's senior soldiers have fun.

Many girls have already gathered in the huge house, all of them beautifully dressed, as fresh and tender as flowers lightly touched by dew.

Bai Mingwei stood in an inconspicuous corner, but her slender and tall figure and graceful grace still made her the center of attention, attracting countless looks of surprise or jealousy.

Someone couldn't help but come up and ask: "Which family do you belong to? Why have I never seen it before?"

What he said was Beiyan dialect.

It is not difficult for her to communicate, because not only can she understand, but she can also speak - she can speak the languages ​​​​of multiple countries, which is a skill that her grandfather asked her to master.

But she ignored him, smiled in return and turned around.

The girl didn't mind, and explained: "I'm just wondering how a beautiful girl like you could appear here."

Bai Mingwei still didn't answer and stood silent in the corner.

The girl stopped talking to her and turned to chat with others.

"here we go!"

A shy voice sounded, and the girls in the crowd looked happy.

Bai Mingwei had seen that look on the face of Sister-in-law Qi. At that time, Sister-in-law Qi had not yet married Brother Qi, and she was still a girl who would blush at the mention of getting married and having children.The expression that appeared in front of her was exactly the same as the seventh sister-in-law's expression at that time.

As the girl's voice fell, cheerful music came from the front.

The sound of the music is bold and bold, with the majestic momentum of thunder shaking the sky, and it is like thousands of horses galloping in the vast wilderness. The sound waves overlap and overlap, and it is as vast as the sea and unpredictable.

There was a hint of sarcasm on Bai Mingwei's lips - how could these warriors who were supposed to be galloping on the grassland become pawns in the battlefield?

I wonder what it feels like to hear such heroic and free music in the ears of these ambitious people.

"Let's go out quickly."

Bai Mingwei mingled among the girls and came to the place where everyone was gathered.

The original rockery flowers and stones have long been removed, and the artificially dug small lake in the backyard has been filled in. The entire backyard of the mansion has become an empty and wide area.

The exquisite and elegant houses in Dongling and the hard work of skilled craftsmen were ruthlessly destroyed by them, but it happened that it could not become the vast wilderness of Beiyan.

So it became nondescript.

There was a very tall bonfire set up in the open space. The fire was burning fiercely, and the light from the sky illuminated the huge open space.

The older men sat around drinking and eating meat, while the younger men set their sights on the girls, seeming to be looking for suitable prey.

But at this moment, a mocking gaze seemed to catch her.

She raised her eyes to meet him, and saw a man in military uniform sitting at the top of the table, looking down at her condescendingly. His cold and sinister eyes were like an unfathomable abyss, making people feel like they were falling into an endless abyss.

It's General Yuan.

That kind of distinct and cold temperament can be easily recognized without looking carefully.

Her kick was not a heavy one. Even if her muscles and veins were not severed, the injury would have lasted at least ten and a half days.

The man's appearance here at this time must be to stabilize the morale of the army.

She raised the corners of her lips towards General Yuan, not caring about the gaze that seemed to eat her alive.

At this moment, the tune changed.

The girls immediately danced wildly and showed off their graceful dance postures around the bonfire.

Suddenly a hand hooked Bai Ming slightly and pulled her over.

She looked back and bumped into an innocent and beautiful face.

The girl smiled brightly at her: "Let's dance together! A woman who can't dance will not be chosen by a warrior just like a woman who can't ride a horse."

That's right.

In addition to worshiping gods, the Festival also has an important activity, which is to create opportunities for young men and women.

A man can choose a beautiful girl to be his wife, and a woman can choose a suitable warrior as her husband.

At this time, the girls will dance gracefully first. If a man throws flowers to them and they catch them, it means that the marriage is settled and the man and woman will become husband and wife in the future.

If no flowers are thrown in this round, there will be men showing off their unique skills later. The girl can throw the handkerchief. Once the man takes it, it also means that the marriage is settled.

Throughout the year, only on the God's Day, young men and women will give up their family status and get an opportunity to freely choose their partners.

Therefore, many young girls with low status will perform well on this day in order to find someone with better conditions and whom they can rely on for life.

Obviously, the girls who appeared here at this time were basically the maidservants.

That's why they danced hard in front of these young generals, just to be selected.

Bai Mingwei was also regarded as one of them by the girls.

"Snapped!"

A red flower fell on Bai Mingwei's shoulder.
