Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 359 Red Dragon Scale Armor

When I arrived at the door of General Huo's residence, I saw numerous soldiers inside and outside the mansion.

Before Bai Mingwei could invite people into the house to report, all the soldiers immediately knelt down on one knee. There was a neat sound of sleeves blowing, followed by a greeting that resounded through the sky: "I've seen Miss Bai."

It turned out that the city defenders had already informed Huo Shixun of her entry into Yao City, and that was how this scene happened.

Feng Qingchen said: "With such a high-standard welcome ceremony, it seems that General Huo wants to disclose his recognition to you to everyone."

The Huo family has guarded Liangcheng for generations and has been a century-old general. Although the official position of the third-grade Fuyuan general is not the highest, the Huo family has great prestige in the court.

As long as the Huo family led troops to guard Liangcheng for a day, Liangcheng would be an indestructible wall. Even Emperor Yuanzhen and Qin Fengye plotted against almost all the officials in the court and did not touch Huo Shixun easily.

Obtaining Huo Shixun's approval is equivalent to Huo Shixun's recognition of her qualifications as a military commander.

If she is faced with difficulties in the future, the generals headed by Huo Shixun will also become her strong backing.

Bai Ming looked at the soldiers kneeling on the ground, took off his curtain hat, and took steps slowly.

She doesn't walk fast, and her tall and slender figure is not strong enough, but she is as firm as a towering mountain, so that people will not have any illusion that she is weak.

In this way, she walked step by step to the main hall, walked up to Huo Shixun, who was dressed in military uniform, and saluted solemnly.

"Mingwei pays homage to General Huo!"

Huo Shixun sat upright on the chair and met Bai Mingwei in the most solemn and formal manner to show his respect for Bai Mingwei.

"Get up!"

Bai Mingwei stood up: "Mingwei came here this time to express his gratitude to the general. Thanks to the general for his unrelenting support, today's victory was achieved."

Huo Shixun stood up, his scales shining brightly, the majestic air of a general, and a sense of oppression suddenly hit his face.

He clapped his hands, and someone immediately came up with a set of armor.

It was a suit of fire-colored scales, decorated with a gorgeous black gold dragon train and a black cloak. You could tell at a glance that it was not a mortal thing.

Under Bai Ming's slightly surprised gaze, Huo Shixun introduced to her: "Back then, my ancestor of the Huo family, Xiang, helped the founding emperor of Dongling to conquer the country, and the world was bestowed with this red dragon scale armor."

"The armor is made of special materials, neither gold nor silver, nor iron, but it is very hard, invulnerable to swords, and has the advantage of being light and convenient. Even after hundreds of years, it still looks as bright as new."

"But because the material is extremely rare and the size of this armor is small, no one in my Huo family has been able to wear this armor for hundreds of years. Rather than leaving it to rot, it is better to use it to its true use."

"Bai Mingwei, this is a congratulatory gift from me, the general. I congratulate you on successfully regaining the city and returning peace to our Dongling border."

Bai Mingwei put his hand on the armor, and felt a strange touch on his fingertips, which was slightly cool and slippery, like excellent jade.

This is not only a set of priceless treasures, but also an honor given to the Huo family by the founding emperor. As long as you wear this armor, it is equivalent to having the death-free gold medal of the First Emperor. Even Emperor Yuan Zhen cannot kill this person. The wearer of armor.

Bai Mingwei retracted his hand and knelt down on one knee: "General, this thing is too precious, Mingwei dare not accept it."

Huo Shixun walked to the table and spread out the map on it.

Dongling is not big. In front of big countries like Southern Qi and Western Chu, Dongling looks so small.

He pointed to the small territory and told Bai Mingwei: "No one can understand the importance of every cent of the land better than the military generals, and no one can understand more than the civil servants how important one common person is." precious."

"Bai Mingwei, this general gives you the family heirloom not because of your status as a descendant of Bai Weiyong, nor because of your status as the leader of the Bai family army."

"It's because of your status as a soldier. Everyone says that this general is the strongest city wall in the north. As long as this general stays here for a day, the people in the rear will have peace of mind."

"But the city wall is not enough. Dongling still lacks a sharp blade, and you are the sharpest blade! No matter how sharp the blade is, it must have a scabbard to protect it. You deserve this gift given by the First Emperor. Dragon scale armor.”

Bai Mingwei understood what Huo Shixun said.

His help and appreciation for Bai Mingwei were never based on personal selfishness, but from the perspective of the overall situation and the world.What he values ​​and protects is Bai Mingwei's role in Dongling, not Bai Mingwei as a person.

Today he gave the family heirloom to Bai Mingwei because he felt that Bai Mingwei would be useful to the Dongling he guarded.

This kind of gift without any human feelings will not make anyone feel unworthy.

Bai Mingwei understood this meaning. She reached out to take the armor and bowed respectfully: "Mingwei will definitely not disappoint the general!"

The armor is not heavy, but it carries a heavy burden.

Bai Mingwei accepted it without hesitation. At this moment, she could afford this gift and the responsibility behind it.

This is the ability she has gained through hard work with sword after sword, and it is also the confidence she has accumulated bit by bit.

In front of a mighty and unyielding general like Huo Shixun, she can pat her chest and say that she deserves it.

Huo Shixun bent down to help her up: "Bai Mingwei, as long as your heart is towards Dongling and you fight for Dongling, this general will be your partner."

Huo Shixun has his own responsibilities, and that responsibility destined him to only be the wall of Dongling, but not the sharp blade that stabs the enemy's chest.

The Northern Yan invaded and the people of the mountains and rivers were trampled. Although he was sad, he could only hold on to Liangcheng and guard the last barrier of Dongling.

Now there is someone who has done what he wanted to do but could not, and protected the people who he could not protect. Such a person will naturally be appreciated by him, and is worthy of his best efforts to protect.

Bai Mingwei saluted solemnly: "General, Mingwei will take your words to heart."

After saying that, she handed the armor to Feng Qingchen, who held it.

Huo Shixun, who looked serious and old-fashioned, suddenly smiled: "What do you think of Yao Cheng today?"

Bai Mingwei replied: "Everything is in ruins, but it is thriving."

Huo Shixun nodded: "This is the meaning of every soldier's bloody battle. As long as there are no natural disasters or man-made disasters, it is the most barren place, and the people will work hard to make it bloom."

Bai Mingwei deeply believed that each of them guarded the territory with a death consciousness, so that the people could live such a life.

"General, Mingwei understands."

Huo Shixun said: "The purpose of your trip is to Pingcheng, right?"

Bai Mingwei nodded: "Yes, Mingwei wants to take the memorial tablets of his father, uncle and brothers to Qiang City, so that they can see with their own eyes what the place they vowed to protect to the death will look like after peace."

Huo Shixun said: "Let's go, I will take you out of the city."

He welcomed her with the most formal etiquette, gave her armor, and personally escorted her out of the city.

This move clearly demonstrated Huo Shixun's protection of Bai Mingwei. It was tantamount to telling the world that Bai Mingwei was the person Huo Shixun protected.

Huo Shixun holds military power and is a feudal official guarding the north.

Military power means strength and status. In such war-torn troubled times, his support is more useful than Liu Yao, the prince, and even many civil servants.

The Bai family's affairs involve too many complicated forces, and Bai Mingwei didn't want Huo Shixun to get into troubled waters.

But then she thought about it, Huo Shixun loaned her people to recover Pingcheng, defended Yaocheng for her, and provided her with equipment and support. Even if she wanted to separate the relationship, others would associate the Huo family army with the Bai family army.

In this case, it is better to accept this kindness calmly.

And her greatest reward for this kindness is to firmly walk on the road of protecting her family and country.

She told herself that she must not let down General Huo.
