Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 329 They got here on their own feet
The city guarding officials were naturally Huo Shixun's people. Huo Shixun valued Bai Mingwei, and they did not dare to neglect. They immediately saluted: "Miss Bai came here late at night, do you dare to ask what is going on?"

Bai Mingwei got straight to the point: "Sir, Mingwei wants to borrow a meal from Liangcheng that can feed 2 people. Afterwards, Mingwei can pay back the money or transport grain."

The city guard hesitated: "Girl, is it to gather those people outside Liang City?"

Bai Mingwei didn't hide it: "It's true that they took a long journey to rush to the border to fight with the soldiers in the national disaster. This friendship is so touching that Mingwei has nothing to repay. At least before meeting them, I can Give me a full meal.”

The city guard hesitated for a moment, but still tried to persuade him: "Girl, you don't have the right to recruit troops. Although their voluntary defection will not make you criticized by the court, it is fine if they are innocent people, but their identities... I am worried that they will be implicated." girl."

Bai Mingwei smiled slightly: "Mingwei understands your kindness, but in Mingwei's heart, all those who guard the border and protect the people are upright heroes."

She couldn't help but understand what the city guard meant.

But at this moment, she was no longer the eldest girl of the Bai family who was begging for help for her grandfather, but the leader of the Bai family army who held military power.

To recruit bandits, she no longer needs to borrow Liu Yao's name.

Even if she makes great achievements, she doesn't have to give them up.

This kind of confidence was gained by leading a group of unpopular soldiers to recapture three cities with one sword and one sword. It was also given by the soldiers and people who supported and trusted her.

Now that she wants to take in these 2 people, she doesn't need to worry so much.

Even if some villain uses this matter to suppress her in the future, he still has to ask about the sword in her hand and the soldiers under her command.

When the city guard heard this, he stopped trying to persuade him and just said: "Time is tight, and I can't prepare a sumptuous meal. I can only feed myself, and I don't have the right to dispose of the food. I hope the eldest girl and Huo will do it when the time comes." The general said something."

Bai Mingwei saluted solemnly: "Thank you, sir."

The city guard returned the courtesy: "Girl, you don't have to be polite."

After discussing it, the city guard immediately ordered to go down.

When the morning sun shone over this cool frontier city, buckets of soft and glutinous white porridge and basins of large pancakes were pushed out of the city.

Everyone didn't know the situation and didn't dare to step forward. Jiang Ci immediately called for everyone to come and get the food, and then they were willing to go to the carts of food.

It's simple, light and light, and there aren't even any side dishes, just a little oil floating on the porridge.

But even this kind of meal made the hungry people outside the city move their index fingers. Smelling the faint fragrance wafting in the air, their eyes widened and they kept swallowing their saliva.

Bai Mingwei asked Jiang Ci to invite everyone to come over for dinner. These untrained people, even vulgar and reckless bandits, were queuing up to receive meals at this moment.

Even if they are already so hungry that their chests are touching their backs.

And the reason why they do this is just to let others know that they also have the potential to become a well-trained team.

If they performed better, Miss Bai might take them under her wing without hesitation.

Even with the help of people brought by the city guard, it was already more than half an hour before everyone had something to eat.

Bai Mingwei put down his spoon, came to a ragged man with a bowl of porridge, and asked, "Where is eldest brother from?"

The man was chewing on the big cake while answering. His voice was choked by the food and was a little vague: "I am from Qingzhou."

Bai Ming was silent for a moment: "Qingzhou? It's very close to Yujing City. It's a thousand miles away from here. How did the eldest brother get here?" The man scratched his head with rough hands, followed by swallowing movements. , the wind-swept ravine on his face deepened: "When Miss Bai led the team to set off, I was already chasing after her."

"But because I didn't have any food left at home, I didn't bring any transportation. I had to buy food while walking along the way, so I didn't get here until now. Many people here are in the same situation as me."

Bai Mingwei was silent for a long time, and then he spoke again with a hoarse voice: "Then what did you eat to make it this far?"

The man said calmly: "I just started eating wild persimmons on the mountain. Sometimes I can dig out a few wild sweet potatoes. If I'm lucky, I can hunt pheasants and rabbits."

"But after winter, the mountains and fields are bare, and pheasants and rabbits don't know where to go to spend the winter. If you are very hungry, you have to dig up thatch roots and boil them in water, and you can cope with it."

While talking, the man had already finished the cake and porridge, and his eyes occasionally glanced at the porridge in Bai Mingwei's bowl.

Bai Mingwei poured the porridge into his bowl, then turned and left.

In a corner where no one was paying attention, she stood holding the tree trunk for a long time before she calmed down.

She looked up at the sky, the ends of her eyes still getting wet involuntarily.

When I got here from Qingzhou, I walked for several months and slept in the open air for several months.

Just to help the Bai family army.

How much determination does it take to walk through thousands of mountains and rivers with a pair of worn-out straw sandals, and endure the severe cold in winter wearing ragged clothes?
Looking at their chapped hands and feet from the cold, as well as their cracked cheeks, the damp emotions accumulated in her heart were like a big stone weighing her down.

At this time, she saw some skinny horses or mules tied around the crowd.

You don't need to ask to know that some people may rush to the frontier with their only working livestock.

It was a skinny horse that could not be considered a steed, with a tattered saddle that could hardly be used, a bridle that was about to break, and a long whip that had lost its hair.

This may be the most valuable thing for an ordinary family, but it was taken to the border by them.

How could she not be moved by this friendship?
Bai Mingwei leaned against the tree trunk, barely supporting his body. After a long while, everyone returned the bowls, and then Bai Mingwei walked towards everyone.

Jiang Ci, who was already familiar with them, shouted loudly at this moment: "Miss Bai family, Bai Mingwei is here."

Everyone followed the sound, and the woman walking slowly from a distance gradually came closer, her appearance becoming clearer and clearer.

Everyone in the audience was shocked - wasn't this the little girl who served them food just now?
At this moment, everyone understood the origin of the meal just now.

Everyone involuntarily stopped their movements and sounds and looked at the woman who was getting closer. When Bai Mingwei came completely closer, they all knelt down in unison: "Greetings to Miss Bai."

Bai Mingwei didn't put on any airs, and quickly raised his hand to signal: "Everyone, please get up."

After everyone stood up, she lifted up her clothes and knelt down on one knee.

The person standing in front was startled and hurriedly tried to help her up.

But she refused, and she could only be heard saying loudly: "With this bow, I would like to thank all the good men of Dongling for taking the trouble to rush to the border to fight with the soldiers in the national crisis; with this bow, I would like to thank everyone for their trust in Mingwei; With a bow, I, Bai Mingwei, am here to promise everyone that I will drive away the traitors from Beiyan, restore our Dongling River and Mountains, and restore a peaceful and stable world to the people of the world!"
