Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 531 Departure
The next day.

After driving for a day and a night, the towering walls of Pingcheng finally came into view.

It was not bright yet at this time. Since the end of the war, the security of several cities has been very tight, and everyone entering the city must undergo strict inspection.

The city gate has not yet been opened, and there is a long queue of people waiting to enter the city.

Their car could not enter the city directly, so everyone had to get off the car at the city gate and wait for the city gate to open.

After the carriage stopped, the tired people got out of the carriage one after another, looking at this familiar place with a little sigh.

Because time was urgent and they did not want to disturb the people in several cities, they traveled non-stop for a whole day and night.

Mr. Gongsun's face turned pale, and it was obvious that he was not in a good condition.

Liu Yao was even more exaggerated, but after staying up all night, he became unkempt and unkempt, which was extremely inconsistent with his attire.

Little Chuanyi was a child after all, and fell asleep before dawn.

Bai Yu carefully held him in his arms and walked with everyone towards the queue to enter the city.

But when Bai Yu looked up at the city wall that was still standing after thousands of years of wind and rain, his face suddenly turned pale.

Yu Jiao walked to him and gently put his hand on his.

The calloused hands, with their healing warmth, soothed his uncontrollably trembling body.

But his face, as pale as paper, didn't recover for quite a while.

Everyone also noticed something strange about him and hurriedly gathered around him.

He looked worried, but he didn't know where to start, so he could only look at it worriedly.

Finally, Ren said with concern: "Seventh brother, what's wrong?"

Bai Yu didn't say anything, just pressed his lips tightly.

He looked away, his expression terrifyingly gloomy.

When Bai Mingwei saw this, he understood the reason.

This was the last place where my father, uncle and brother protected each other before they were alive, and it was also the scene of the tragedy. The seventh brother escaped death in Pingcheng. At this time, he must have been touched by the scene.

She reached out and said, "Brother Qi, let me hold Chuanyi."

Bai Yu didn't seem to hear anything, and still hugged Chuanyi tightly, but it hurt the sleeping little Chuanyi. He let out a cry and slowly opened his eyes.

Uncle Qi's gloomy expression suddenly came into view. He had never seen Uncle Qi like this before. He was startled and asked cautiously: "Uncle Qi, what's wrong with you?"

Bai Yu still didn't respond, as if he was in a daze, isolating himself in another world.

Yu Jiao called him softly: "Ayu, please let go of Chuanyi first."

Seeing that her husband still didn't respond, Yu Jiao took the frightened little Chuanyi from Bai Yu's hand and handed it to Bai Mingwei.

Bai Yu just woke up from a dream. He looked at Xiao Chuanyi, his face softened and his voice softened: "Chuanyi, it's Uncle Qi's fault for scaring you."

Xiao Chuanyi shook his head, stretched out his delicate hands to hold Bai Yu's cheek, and comforted him: "Uncle Qi, it's all over. It's okay."

Bai Yu suppressed the emotions in his eyes and reached out to touch Xiao Chuanyi's head. In an instant, he returned to normal.

However, the tense body and the coldness in his eyes made people see that he was hiding something.

Turning around, Bai Yu slowly closed his eyes, unable to calm down for a long time.

Scenes from the past flew into his mind, and as soon as he closed his eyes, the scene of him fighting side by side with his brother would appear before his eyes.They who were not yet crowned had red silk tied on their foreheads as a sign of encouragement. When they went to the battlefield for the first time, they also had the heroic ambition to defend their home and country.

But the result?

Out of tens of thousands of people, he and his fifth brother are the only ones alive in the world.

Perhaps the greatest helplessness in life is the feeling of being helpless while watching everything you care about being destroyed.

He could endure the filth of the dung bucket, and he could overcome the hunger and cold, but the scene of his elder and his comrades lying next to him was still vivid in his mind and he could never forget it.

Now that he has returned to his old place, terrible memories surge up like huge waves, making his life worse than death.

Bai Yu took a few deep breaths and felt the air flow down his nose, through his throat, and into his chest, and he felt somewhat alive.

In the end, he suppressed all these negative emotions and smiled back at those who cared about him: "It's okay, I just think of old things."

Everyone could see his forbearance, so in order not to arouse his sadness, they didn't ask any more questions.

Yu Jiao held his hand hidden under his sleeve, pressed hard, and then relaxed. There was no word of communication during the whole process, but he could feel his wife's warm and scorching heart.

He said softly: "I'm fine, don't worry."

Yu Jiao said nothing, just smiled at him.

Bai Mingwei held Xiao Chuanyi in his arms but did not come forward to comfort him.

The dark past that Seventh Brother has experienced cannot be comforted by her with just a few words, and she also believes that her Seventh Brother will definitely be able to come out of it.

The big tree that she once relied on would never fall down so easily. Even if the branches were broken by strong winds and heavy rains, it would still grow back tenaciously and become denser than ever before.

Xiao Chuanyi had woken up. He wanted to get out of Bai Mingwei's arms, but Bai Mingwei stopped him: "There are many people now, let Auntie hold you."

Xiao Chuanyi did not refuse. He put his head on Bai Mingwei's neck and asked in a low voice, "Auntie, is Uncle Qi okay?"

Bai Mingwei nodded firmly: "Uncle Qi will be fine."

Little Chuanyi lowered his voice: "Uncle Qi just now is so scary. Chuanyi has never seen him like this before."

Bai Mingwei said softly: "When we went to Yinshan to pick up our relatives, they had already left their bodies and gone to another place."

"But your seventh uncle saw them losing their lives with his own eyes. This was a big blow to your seventh uncle, so your seventh uncle lost control for a moment."

"But your seventh uncle is an upright man. He will definitely be able to overcome his grief and continue to live bravely and strongly. Let's give him some time."

Xiao Chuanyi nodded obediently and said "hmm" softly.

At this moment, the city gate opened wide.

People who lined up to enter the city entered the city one after another after being interrogated.

Not long after, it was their turn.

The soldiers guarding the city recognized Bai Mingwei at a glance.

She didn’t need bright clothes and armor to show her identity, and she didn’t need tiger charms to prove her identity. As soon as she stood at the city gate, all the soldiers knelt down in unison: "Greetings to the princess!"

Bai Mingwei nodded slightly: "Get up, please, don't make any noise."

All the soldiers immediately stood up, then moved out of the way and watched the group enter the city.

But this kind of movement has already attracted the attention of passers-by. When everyone heard the sound, they saw a group of female relatives with a child.
