When Huo Shixun heard this, he didn't immediately get angry.

He pointed in the direction of Yin Mountain: "The reason why people believe in the Bai Army is because there are 80,000 dead bones buried in the Yin Valley!"

"The respect earned bit by bit by those 80,000 soldiers who carried the flag of the Bai Family Army with their blood and lives is definitely not earned by walking around the streets carrying the flag!"

"When will I, Huo Jiajun, have such meritorious deeds? Let's talk about whether the people recognize Huo Jiajun! Add five more lashes, and the punishment will be twenty-five!"

After saying that, Huo Shixun flicked his sleeves and walked away.

The rest of the Huo family army stayed here and could not leave until they were whipped.

There were crisp cracks of whips and painful muffled sentences.

There were also long bloodstains.

Seeing this scene, Bai Jiajun felt relieved.

But I also felt sorry for their eldest girl, who received those severe blows.

Feng Qingchen took off his cloak and covered Bai Mingwei: "Treat the wound first and talk about other things later."

Bai Ming stood up slightly, looked at the people who bowed their heads in shame, and said softly: "Brother Wei, please summon all the people who can move here. I will have something to say to everyone later."

Wei Xiao nodded and then asked: "Is your injury okay?"

Feng Qingchen spoke first: "Little girl, I'm here, don't worry."

In this way, Wei Xiao said nothing more and led the soldiers down.

Feng Qingchen took Bai Mingwei to a nearby room and pressed her on a stool: "Don't move, I'll treat your wound."

The wide sleeves gently brushed both sides of her cheeks, bringing with them a faint fragrance.

"Why bother?"

Before Bai Ming could open her mouth, Feng Qingchen let her go and sighed.

Why bother?

Those soldiers are just pawns under his command, and strict military discipline can control them.

Why bother taking these blows?

Bai Mingwei replied: "The soldiers obey their orders and the armed forces obey orders. Of course, we can rely on strict military discipline. For things like today, if we just kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, and then repeat the orders to the other soldiers, they probably won't dare to do it."

"But the soldiers of our Bai Family Army are not just numbers. Every soldier is precious, because too many men in Dongling have died."

"They have given up everything for the sake of their family, country and the world. They came to this battlefield of narrow escape and were even prepared to sacrifice at any time."

"I don't want my officers and men in the Bai Family Army to be just killing machines following orders. Although I can't give them honor or wealth."

"But at least they can feel from this team not only the love of brothers and sisters, but also the love of family members who risk their lives for each other."

Feng Qingchen sighed: "I really lost to you. A general cannot only be passionate, but more importantly, iron-blooded. Should I say you are kind, or are you not resolute enough?"

Bai Ming smiled and said: "Can't I be both hot-blooded and iron-blooded?"

Feng Qingchen reached out to untie the straps of her cloak: "Little girl, not everyone can see the fire in your soul."

"Except me, of course."

"So, don't let yourself get hurt because of those people. Whether it's worth it is another question, but I will feel very sad."

Bai Mingwei patted his hand away: "I can do it myself."

Bai Ming took off his cloak and turned slightly to look at the blood stains on his back.

The pain in her arms and the pain from the whip marks made her look pale and she was sweating coldly.

But even so, she could maintain her composure.

In fact, she didn't have to take these whippings. Who would want to take a few beatings?

But she knew in her heart that from another perspective, the reason why these people admired Wei Xiao was not because Wei Xiao could fight, but the most important thing was because of his chivalrous spirit.

I want to completely win the hearts of these people, turn them completely into the Bai family army, and train them into strong warriors who obey the law.

Wei Xiao's behavior of leading by example is worth learning from.

Therefore, she is willing to use her own blood to make the soldiers understand what military discipline is!

Thinking of this, she said: "Actually, they are right. As for whether the whippings I received are worth it, we will find out later."

Feng Qingchen sighed again: "Little girl, you really haven't changed at all. Even after going through so many things, you still have the purest heart."

Her world is never just about herself.

Even though we are in such a difficult situation, we still care about the world and others.

Just like the little girl who saved him under the pear tree without asking why.

Faced with Feng Qingchen's praise, Bai Mingwei still took it indifferently.

Feng Qingchen was never the only one who received praises from her childhood.

It's not that she's tired of hearing it, it's just that she knows how to deal with other people's praise and criticism calmly.

So when she heard that Huo Jiajun insulted her with unpleasant words, she didn't get angry.

And Feng Qingchen's straightforward praise did not waver her.

Feng Qingchen was so close, her face a little blurry due to the backlight, but it overlapped with the face she saw in the mottled light and shadow many years ago when she opened her eyes in the afternoon.

Bai Mingwei feels more and more strange, why do they look more and more alike?

So she couldn't help but test it again: "Why do you always call me little girl? Am I too small for you?"

Feng Qingchen took out a bottle of medicine from the bottom of his sleeve, opened the cork, smelled it, and said casually: "Because when I can still see you, you are just a little girl."

Bai Mingwei's eyes suddenly condensed: "That spring day at the foot of Chengtianguan Mountain, you were the young man being hunted in the sea of ​​pear flowers?"

"boom!"

The small bottle fell to the ground and shattered.

Feng Qingchen was startled for a moment, then smiled.

It was so bright, just like the smile that immediately appeared on Bai Ming's face every time he came slightly closer.

After a pause, he said softly: "It's me. So you haven't forgotten."

Bai Ming was slightly shocked and immediately interrupted Feng Qingchen's next words: "It's a small effort, so don't worry about it. There's no need to mention such a thing as committing yourself to each other."

Feng Qingchen shook his head: "Believe it or not, I originally came to you for the purpose of repaying my kindness. Of course, I decided to commit myself to you, but some words became true as I said them."

"It's true that I want to protect you, it's true that I want to protect you, it's true that I want to be relied on by you, it's true that I want to be cared about by you..."

"Although I know you are not the kind of person who needs to be carefully cared for, but it doesn't matter. I will be with you no matter what you do."

Bai Mingwei didn't say anything.

The corners of Feng Qingchen's lips curled up slightly.

He suddenly opened his arms and said in that frivolous tone: "Come on, throw yourself into my arms! It's very warm."

Bai Mingwei was helpless: "Good luck, don't go crazy again. By the way, how did you leave the Pear Blossom Sea back then? I went to look for you later, but you were no longer there."

Feng Qingchen's smile obviously faded for a moment, and then returned to normal. He said calmly: "I was rescued by a woodcutter and stayed at the woodcutter's house to recover from my injuries for a long time, so you couldn't see me.

.”

He couldn't bear to say what the woodcutter really did.

He couldn't bear to say that his journey into deeper darkness began with that woodcutter.

He didn't want to mention those past events because it would make him unable to suppress his murderous intention.

His unstained white clothes are not because he likes them. Anyway, he can no longer see them. So what if they are red and green?

He appeared in front of the little girl with this clean appearance just to cover up the darkness and sin.

So it’s okay not to mention those memories of his.

It's not unbearable, but it's too bloody and dark, so don't taint the little girl's ears.

Just pretend that he was still the young man who fled in panic on that beautiful spring afternoon.
