Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

In the afternoon, the setting sun filled the sky, the snow was ablaze, the air was filled with the aroma of barbecue and fine wine, and the amplified noise suddenly came into my ears with the wind.

Bai Zhiyuan pulled Xie Yunsong out of the tent impatiently.

Xie Yunsong has never liked to participate in these things, but now he can't resist Bai Zhiyuan's wishes, so he can only accompany him.

When the sunset faded, flickering campfires were lit in the camp.

The bonfire was blazing and there was laughter and joy all around.

The soldiers were all drunk, but except for those who fell asleep, the rest were still reveling. Some sang loudly while drunk, singing heroic frontier songs, while others wrestled and competed, showing off their martial arts and winning cheers from their companions.

Opposite the bonfire, a carpet was spread out, and on top of it was a long table, on which were placed fine wine and delicacies. Bai Zhiyuan was holding a wine glass and admiring the scene in front of him. Xie Yunsong, holding the sheathed Qingshuang sword in his hand, was sitting diagonally beside the table, with a casual and unrestrained posture.

Bai Zhiyuan turned around and saw Xie Yunsong like this. She had never seen him like this before.

She stared at the man beside her and was stunned for a moment.

She thought about why she had to come to the Northland before, wasn't it just to see Xie Yunsong's style in the army? Now, she has seen him both on the battlefield and in private.

While she was in a daze, Xie Yunsong reached out and snatched the wine glass from her hand, and said softly: "Don't drink too much. If someone drinks too much, he will have to listen to me playing the piano again."

Bai Zhiyuan blushed, remembering the last time he got drunk and pestered him to listen to him play the piano.

But today, he seemed to be in a very good mood. Bai Zhiyuan took back the wine glass again, drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and said with a smile: "Then why not ask General Xie to play another song for me."

Xie Yunsong chuckled and said, "Unfortunately, the zither was left in the camp in the northern border today. I'm afraid you won't be able to enjoy it tonight."

Bai Zhiyuan drank some wine and his face flushed. Hearing this, he curled his lips and said, "That's a pity. After all, you can't listen to General Xie's music whenever you want."

Xie Yunsong curled his lips and said, "If Miss Bai wants to listen, I will perform for you. I still remember that I promised Miss Bai that from now on, I will only play the piano for her."

Bai Zhiyuan pursed his lips and smiled, then picked up another glass of wine and put it to his mouth.

Xie Yunsong frowned slightly and stretched out his hand to grab the wine glass from her hand. Bai Zhiyuan saw his intention and dodged back. Xie Yunsong took the opportunity to pinch her arm, and the wine in the glass spilled out, all falling on Xie Yunsong.

Xie Yunsong frowned even more tightly, and Bai Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow and looked at him.

The banquet was almost over, and many people had already left. The bonfire was about to go out, and Bai Zhiyuan's face was vaguely visible in the firelight. She tilted her head and looked at Xie Yunsong with a dazed look.

Xie Yunsong lowered his eyes slightly, his gaze fell on her slender fingers, he reached out and gently stroked her fingertips.

Bai Zhiyuan approached him and sniffed the scent of wine on him. She asked softly, "Xie Yunsong, if one day you find out that I'm hiding something from you, will you blame me?"

Xie Yunsong was stunned at first, then he said: "It depends on what it is. If you lied to me, I would be angry. If you have to hide it from me, I think everyone probably has some secrets that they don't want others to know. I will try to understand you."

Bai Zhiyuan leaned her head on his shoulder, a bitter smile on her lips, "Really? But some things may be difficult to explain?"

Xie Yunsong pulled her up, looked into her eyes seriously and said, "If you want to tell me the secret in your heart one day, I will listen carefully. If you haven't thought about it yet, you don't have to tell me yet."

Bai Zhiyuan's eyes were a little wet. Since her rebirth, she has been carrying the hatred of her past life with no one to tell. Whenever it was late at night, she thought of the desperate experiences in her past life, and she was afraid that what she had now was just a dream. When she woke up, she was still blind and struggling in the Prince of Yan's mansion.

Since she got together with Xie Yunsong, she often fell into the vicious circle of having been married in her previous life and couldn't extricate herself. She didn't know what Xie Yunsong would think if he knew that she had been married to Qi Zeyi in her previous life. She didn't dare to think about it, let alone want to think about it.

Bai Zhiyuan leaned in his arms and could hear his clear and strong heartbeat. She raised her head and said, "Thank you, Xie Yunsong."

"Thank you for what?"

Bai Zhiyuan whispered in his ear: "Thank you anyway."

Xie Yunsong felt that Bai Zhiyuan, who had drunk a little wine today, was different from usual. Perhaps it was because the wine brought back some bad memories for her.

He stopped talking and just held her quietly.

After a long while, Bai Zhiyuan broke free from his embrace and said, "Thank you, General. Let's go back to Yancheng. I want to sit on the roof and watch the moon."

"Do you remember last New Year's Eve, when you watched the fireworks with me on the roof of my house?"

Xie Yunsong smiled and said, "Of course I remember. I didn't know which young lady had such a hobby."

Bai Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I never thought that the great General Yunhui would not understand other people's politeness and would come to the roof of someone else's house in the middle of the night to watch the fireworks with me."

"Xie Yunsong, tell me, have you liked me since then?"

Xie Yunsong was slightly stunned, turned his face away and said, "Nonsense!"

Bai Zhiyuan insisted, "Then tell me why you came that day?"

Xie Yunsong said stubbornly: "I forgot."

After saying that, he stood up and walked forward.

Bai Zhiyuan hurriedly followed him and approached him and said, "Impossible. Xie Yunsong, you must have liked me for a long time."

"no!"

"there must be!"

"..."

The two of them followed the moonlight all the way back to Yancheng, arguing and laughing.

When he arrived at his residence, Bai Zhiyuan brought a ladder with great interest and climbed onto the roof.

Xie Yunsong was worried that she had drunk some alcohol and would fall again, so he simply climbed up with her.

Tianlin was left with a gloomy face. His master had been so idle since he got together with Princess Rong'an that he always did some incredible things.

If Tianlin knew that this was not the first time his master had done this, I wonder how he would feel.

Xie Yunsong and Bai Zhiyuan sat side by side on the eaves. Xie Yunsong was afraid that Bai Zhiyuan would fall down after getting drunk, so he put his arm around her waist and pulled her to his side.

Bai Zhiyuan held his chin with both hands and looked at the dark night sky in the distance. This was not Shangjing. The night in Shangjing was not so dark. Even in the dark night, there were always lights.

But this kind of darkness is not scary. Instead, it makes people feel safe because there are people around them.

The days in Beijing, which were filled with danger, conspiracy and calculation, seemed so far away in a trance.

"You know what?" Bai Zhiyuan said, "Compared to going to the capital, I actually prefer my life now."

"It would be better if there were no war. We could just live our lives peacefully."

Xie Yunsong lowered his eyes and said nothing. After a long while, he said, "When we recover the northern border, I will resign from my post to His Majesty. Then I will take you away from Shangjing and go wherever you want to go."

Bai Zhiyuan tilted his head, smiled brightly and said, "It's a deal!"

Xie Yunsong couldn't help but curl his lips, his eyebrows and eyes were a little softer and tenderer, and he said slowly: "It's a deal!"
