Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 84 Who gave you the courage and confidence?
When he came to the flower hall, Liu Yao saw that Bai Mingwei was not chasing him, so he kept beating his chest: "I'm scared to death."

The steward said respectfully: "Your Highness, the general will be back soon. Please wait a moment, Your Highness."

Liu Yao didn't care about the generals, big or small. He slumped on the chair, like a piece of rotten meat without bones.

He waved his hand impatiently: "I haven't been happy for a long time, so I will offer you happiness first."

The steward was puzzled: "Your Majesty Ninth Prince, please clarify."

Liu Yao slapped the table and said impatiently: "You're so stupid with your elm-headed head! Why don't you bring out the delicious and fun things in this mansion?! By the way, I'll call a few beautiful maids to serve the king, hurry up!"

The steward's brows furrowed slightly, but he still bowed and retreated.

Liu Yao crossed his legs, immersed in the joy of getting rid of Bai Mingwei.

At this time, Bai Mingwei had quietly arrived outside a room.

"call out!"

A short sword shot out from the room and went straight to Bai Mingwei's heart.

Bai Ming smiled slightly, raised his foot, spun around and kicked, and the dagger returned to its original path.

"Tuk!"

There was a loud noise, the sound of a sharp blade sinking into wood.

Immediately afterwards, a deep male voice sounded from the back room: "Come in."

Bai Mingwei slowly walked into the room.

There was no candle inside, and everything went dark when I first stepped in.

Bai Ming blinked slightly, but it was difficult to adapt to the dimness in the room.

A faint light shines through the window lattice, illuminating a few areas near the window. The outlines of the furniture are hazy, like dormant giant beasts.

Suddenly, a halberd struck across the air, hitting the back of Bai Mingwei's head.

Bai Mingwei blocked with his backhand and held the long handle of the halberd.

It was at this moment of the battle that she saw clearly the person behind her—a man in golden armor and red robes, tall and burly, with a bright red tassel on his golden helmet.

This is the border guard general, a majestic general.

Facing a halberd and an opponent with a huge disparity in strength, Bai Mingwei was clearly struggling with one hand.

She immediately grasped the long handle with both hands, then pushed hard, and then shook away the halberd that was placed above her head.

Bai Mingwei looked at the person in front of him and gave a respectful military salute: "Bai Mingwei pays homage to General Huo."

Huo Shixun put the halberd away, then walked to the table and lit the candle on the table.

He put his hands on his knees, sat upright, and looked at Bai Mingwei sharply: "General, I value efficiency. Since you dare to come here alone, then simply state what you want. I hate lengthy and lengthy sentences." If it’s not important.”

Bai Ming opened his eyelids slightly, then slowly lowered them.

The candlelight illuminated Huo Shixun, allowing her to see the whole face of this man.

He has a rough face, deep features, sharp expression and impressive bearing.

This mighty and unyielding appearance looks very scary.

Bai Mingwei was not afraid of this serious and rigid general at all. He suddenly raised his eyes and stared at Huo Shixun with sharp eyes: "I'm here to give the general credit for recovering the city."

Huo Shixun sneered: "The general knows how much he weighs. The general doesn't do anything to celebrate his success, but it seems that you, a woman, have no self-awareness."

"It takes more than just generals to march and fight. Every soldier and every pawn is a sword and a sword. Why do you say this so brazenly? Who gave you the courage and confidence?"

This was a tough nut to crack, Bai Mingwei knew before he came.The Huo family has guarded Liangcheng for generations. Although Huo Shixun in front of him has no great military exploits, it is a well-known fact that Liangcheng with him in charge is invulnerable to swords.

Speaking of which, he can be regarded as one of the rare warriors in Dongling. This is something Emperor Yuan Zhen and Qin Fengye also knew very well.

Therefore, no matter how lacking in warriors they were or how turbulent the frontiers were, they would never take Huo Shixun's advice. They needed Huo Shixun to hold down Dongling's last barrier.

Faced with the unabashed ridicule and contempt, Bai Ming was modest and generous: "Gentlemen and gentlemen are friends of the same way; villains and villains are friends of the same interests."

"But I, a little girl, am not here to flatter the general, but to negotiate a serious deal with him."

Huo Shixun seemed to have heard some big joke: "Young girl, you don't know your own abilities."

Bai Mingwei did not lower her attitude because of Huo Shixun's attitude. She knew that the world always looked down on women, and she would not go so far as to tell a secular person that they should not have secular prejudices.

She didn't waste any words and said directly: "General Huo, whether I am overestimating my capabilities or I am confident, we will naturally find out in the future."

"I know that the general is holding Liangcheng like a mountain, but I want to tell the general that in a few days I will create conditions that will allow the general to regain the city."

"If the general just wants to be a general who defends this Liangcheng, then I, Bai Mingwei, can't do anything about it, but I believe that the general has been in the army for decades and should be interested in his name going down in history."

"If the general takes action, not only Liangcheng, but also the places rescued by the general will still have stories of the general's heroic deeds spread a thousand years later."

"The anecdotes of the general's life will also be filled with tombstones for future generations to admire. Between ordinary generals and famous generals who will last forever, I believe the general will know how to choose?"

Huo Shixun sneered: "If I, the general, were greedy for those common names, I would not have stayed in Liangcheng for so many years. When you were making this lofty talk, have you ever thought about the importance of Liangcheng to Dongling?"

"You talk so arrogantly about military affairs with your words. You have no knowledge and no brains. The general has already predicted your outcome. It will definitely not be any better than your brothers!"

Faced with ridicule and doubts, Bai Ming showed no emotion and said: "There is no proof for what you say. General, just wait patiently for a few days!"

"Since the duty of a soldier is to protect the homeland and the country, I ask the general to save the people from danger and fire when the time comes and send troops to protect the homeland they depend on for survival."

Huo Shixun looked at her deeply and asked in a deep voice: "For the sake of this general's words, you still don't plan to tell your plan in exchange for my trust? Or are you willing to humiliate yourself?" / Are you enjoying it?"

Bai Ming said slightly: "Tolerating what ordinary people cannot tolerate, tolerating what ordinary people cannot tolerate, and to live in situations that ordinary people cannot tolerate, isn't this the mind and magnanimity that we soldiers should have?"

Huo Shixun narrowed his eyes: "Do you think this general made a mistake?"

Bai Ming smiled faintly: "Let time tell whether it is right or wrong. I don't talk about the plan. I have my own reasons. Firstly, it is not convenient for the military plane to be leaked. Secondly, the official document on the general's desk told me, It must not be said."

Her plan has not been told to anyone yet, even if it is a small talk that she gets along with day and night, it is true that she cannot leak even a little bit at this time.

When Huo Shixun lit the candle, she had already roughly observed the situation in the room.

Huo Shixun looked at Bai Mingwei thoughtfully, and then said: "This is the secret from Beijing. Within ten days, I will pretend not to see it. You only have ten days."

Bai Mingwei cupped his hands: "Thank you, general!"

Huo Shixun emphasized again: "You don't need to thank me, general, because my general's decision has nothing to do with you. I just look at the old prime minister's face, otherwise I wouldn't see you today."

"Bai Mingwei, go and prove it! If you think the general is wrong, then go and prove it. Whether you are a miracle or a joke, the general will wait and see."

Bai Ming slightly arched his hands and retreated quietly.

There was no promise in Huo Shixun's words, nor did he mention whether he would reach this deal with Bai Mingwei.

But Bai Mingwei left anyway, because she knew that promises were the most unreliable things. Only if she really created the conditions would it be possible for Huo Shixun to cooperate with her.

In fact, when she came, she had already expected this result, but her goal had been achieved.

She needed to let the people of Beiyan know that Huo Shixun did not send more troops to her, and thus looked down upon her old, weak, sick and disabled people.

She needed to let the court know that Huo Shixun ignored her, so that those in the court who had been watching her thought she was dead, and then relaxed their vigilance to buy time for what she was going to do next.
