Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

The next morning, Bai Zhiyuan slowly woke up and opened her eyes. She felt someone beside her. She tilted her head and saw Xie Yunsong sleeping soundly in front of her bed.

Bai Zhiyuan quietly looked at the man beside him, his hand tightly holding hers. Xie Yunsong's eyelashes were long and straight, and a silhouette was drooping under his eyelids. His nose was tall and beautiful, and his lips were thin and rosy. The sleeping Xie Yunsong was very quiet, less lonely than usual.

Then she thought of Xie Yunsong on the battlefield yesterday, who was different from the one who was asleep. On the battlefield, he was full of vigor and courage, with a look of three parts of coldness and seven parts of ridicule, while the one who was asleep was more like a child, quiet and peaceful.

Bai Zhiyuan raised his hand unconsciously, trying to smooth his frowning brows while he slept.

Unexpectedly, when he stretched out his hand, he touched her wound.

"Hiss..." She gasped in pain.

Xie Yunsong suddenly woke up, and seeing Bai Zhiyuan frowning in pain, he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Does it hurt? I'll go get Cheng Beixiao."

As he was about to walk out, Bai Zhiyuan hurriedly grabbed his hand, shook his head gently and said, "It's okay, it's useless to ask Master Cheng to come, he can't help me apply the medicine."

Xie Yunsong was stunned, a look of reluctance and guilt appeared on his face.

After a while, he put his big hand on Bai Zhiyuan's forehead. Hmm, the fever has subsided. He thought about it and decided to let Tianxun go and call Cheng Beixiao.

While waiting for Cheng Beixiao, Xie Yunsong sat at the head of Bai Zhiyuan's bed, hugged her and whispered: "Ayuan, yesterday..."

"I was reckless yesterday." Bai Zhiyuan interrupted him, "You are a great general. How can you convince the people if you don't punish me?"

"You don't have to blame yourself. I don't blame you."

"The moment I stood on the battlefield, I suddenly understood the good intentions of you and my father for me, and why you were reluctant to take me to the battlefield. Before, I only knew that the battlefield was cruel, but when I saw it with my own eyes, I was shocked beyond words."

Bai Zhiyuan raised his head, looked at Xie Yunsong seriously and said, "You went to the battlefield when you were eight years old. You must have been very scared at that time."

Xie Yunsong was stunned for a moment, then hugged her even tighter.

More than fear, he was only eight years old at the time, and his father took him to the battlefield. All he saw was blood, and all he heard were heart-wrenching screams. He was isolated and helpless on the battlefield, and he tried desperately to suppress his desire to escape. In the end, he couldn't even draw his sword, and he was shaking all over.

For this, his father punished him. As a son of a military commander, he was so useless that his father made him kneel in front of the bodies of the dead soldiers for a whole night.

He never wanted to recall how he spent that night. He only remembered that it was a cold day, and the camp was deserted, with only him and the corpses scattered all over the ground.

Since that day, he fell seriously ill. Later, in order not to disappoint his father, he tried his best to suppress his fear. In fact, no one is born brave, but is forced to grow up.

However, today, Bai Zhiyuan's words, "You must have been very scared at that time," reminded him of that desperate night, but at the same time his heart was filled with emotion. No one had ever truly cared about him or felt sorry for him.

Xie Yunsong hugged Bai Zhiyuan tightly, his eyes were slightly red, but he didn't want Bai Zhiyuan to see it.

After a long time, Cheng Beixiao knocked on the door and came in.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw the two of them hugging each other, and he quickly stepped back and said, "You guys continue, I didn't see anything, I'm leaving first and will come back later."

Xie Yunsong then let her go, turned around and became the cold and arrogant General Yunhui again. He said calmly, "Since you are here, help Miss Bai."

Cheng Beixiao then carefully felt Bai Zhiyuan's pulse and said after a moment: "Miss Bai is indeed a martial artist, and she is in good health, but your injury..."

As he said that, he looked at Xie Yunsong. Xie Yunsong had a cold expression on his face, showing no other emotions.

Bai Zhiyuan said, "It's nothing, just a minor injury. Mr. Cheng, please leave the medicine for me. I will apply it myself."

Cheng Beixiao nodded and took out a delicate porcelain bottle from his pocket. He said, "This medicine is a top-quality wound medicine I brought from Shangjing, and it has the effect of removing scars. Miss Bai, please use it sparingly."

Bai Zhiyuan was stunned, then nodded.

Cheng Beixiao then took Xie Yunsong and walked away, saying as he walked: "Miss Bai, don't worry about applying the medicine. Yunsong and I will help you watch over it and make sure no one dares to come in and disturb you."

After they left, Bai Zhiyuan slowly stood up. It must be said that the Ten Military Sticks were really painful. She wondered how Qin Jinan, who also received the Ten Military Sticks for her, was doing.

Bai Zhiyuan applied the medicine with great difficulty. She slowly got out of bed and moved to the door of the tent bit by bit. She opened the door and saw that Xie Yunsong and Cheng Beixiao were still standing there waiting for her.

Seeing her come out, Cheng Beixiao shouted, "Aunt, why did you come out? Hurry up and lie down to recover from your injuries."

Xie Yunsong also looked worried and said, "I'll let Tianxun guard your door for the next few days. If you have any problems, just call him."

Bai Zhiyuan's face turned pale, and he shook his head and said, "Mr. Qin was beaten by ten military sticks for me yesterday. I wonder how he is doing? I want to go see him."

Xie Yunsong's expression instantly turned gloomy, and his eyes seemed to be covered with ice, even colder than an ice cellar.

After a moment, he tried his best to suppress the jealousy in his heart and said coldly: "Since you want to go, I will go with you."

After saying that, he supported Bai Zhiyuan and slowly walked forward.

Cheng Beixiao behind him had a funny look on his face. He naturally saw Xie Yunsong's jealous look just now. He laughed: "Xie Yunsong, Xie Yunsong, you have come to this day too."

Xie Yunsong and Bai Zhiyuan walked very slowly because Bai Zhiyuan was injured, and many soldiers they met on the road were surprised.

They thought that since General Yun Hui ordered the beating of Princess Rong'an yesterday, the princess would definitely return to the capital in anger, but they didn't expect that the two of them would appear together today.

The two walked all the way to Qin Jinan's tent. Qin Jinan's tent was no different from that of ordinary recruits, except that there were not as many people as ordinary recruits. There were not many people in the tent at this time, so Bai Zhiyuan knocked on the door and went in.

When Qin Jinan saw her coming, his eyes lit up for a moment, but when he saw Xie Yunsong, the light in his eyes dimmed again.

Bai Zhiyuan was injured and couldn't sit down. She stood in front of Qin Jinan's bed and said, "Mr. Qin, I still want to thank you for yesterday."

Qin Jinan: "You are too kind, County Lord."

Bai Zhiyuan asked about Qin Jinan's injuries again, and he answered them one by one. Maybe because Xie Yunsong was beside him, he was a little scared and had no energy. Bai Zhiyuan told him to take good care of his injuries, and then left with Xie Yunsong.

The two of them left the tent, but Bai Zhiyuan did not return to her own tent. She said to Xie Yunsong, "When I first joined the Northern Frontier team, there was a man who took good care of me, but I watched him die in front of me yesterday. I want to go to the recruit camp to take a look."

Xie Yunsong knew that she had a kind heart, but war was cruel, and death on the battlefield was inevitable. He nodded slightly, and supported her and accompanied her all the way to the new recruits' camp.

After entering the recruit camp, the recruits felt a little awkward for a moment, perhaps because they did not expect General Yun Hui and Princess Rong'an to come in person.

Bai Zhiyuan slowly walked to Xiaoshan's bed. The bed was neatly made, which reminded people of the honest boy. Bai Zhiyuan was a little sad, and Huang Shi, Zhang Hu and others beside him also looked sad.

That day, the recruits were originally in the safe zone at the back. Even so, it was the first time for everyone to see a real battlefield. Many of them were scared and cried, and many were injured. Only Xiaoshan somehow got to the front camp and lost his life for it.

Princess Rong'an had always been on good terms with Xiaoshan. After Xiaoshan left, the princess came to visit everyone in person.

Huang Shi came forward with a bundle and said, "County Lady, these are Xiaoshan's belongings. His family is poor and he doesn't have anything valuable. If you return to the capital, please give these things to his mother. Xiaoshan is most worried about his mother and sister."

Bai Zhiyuan closed her eyes, and the scene of Xiaoshan's death flashed through her mind. She was sad and injured, and she was a little unsteady. Xie Yunsong hurriedly supported her, and she opened Xiaoshan's bag, which contained a pair of brand new shoes that had not been worn.

"These are the shoes that Xiaoshan's mother made for Xiaoshan before she left. Xiaoshan has been reluctant to wear them." Huangshi said.

Bai Zhiyuan recalled that Xiaoshan once told her that he only had his mother and sister at home. His family was poor, and he joined the army for a few taels of silver, but he didn't expect to lose his life in the end.

Bai Zhiyuan was heartbroken, but she also knew that life and death were common on the battlefield, so she comforted everyone and asked the injured brothers to rest well.

After saying this, he followed Xie Yunsong and left the recruit camp.

Bai Zhiyuan said sadly: "War is too cruel. How many ordinary people like Xiaoshan have lost their lives." She stopped, looked up at Xie Yunsong's eyes, and said seriously: "General Xie, you must recover the northern border and bring peace and prosperity to Dali."

Xie Yunsong looked at her and nodded seriously after a moment.

After getting his affirmation, Bai Zhiyuan turned around, and the two of them slowly walked towards their own tent.
