Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

The next morning, the chill of deep winter hit them, and Xie Yunsong set out for Yanzhou with a team of people.

Bai Zhiyuan went to see him off.

Xie Yunsong was dressed in a black robe that outlined his lean and strong waist, and his face was still cold and arrogant. Only when he saw Bai Zhiyuan did a hint of warmth appear in his eyes.

Xie Yunsong walked up to Bai Zhiyuan. It was already the middle of winter and the weather was cold. He tied the cloak on her tighter and said, "I'm going now. Be careful and wait for me to come back."

Bai Zhiyuan nodded softly and said, "Don't worry, I'll wait for you to come back."

There was a gleam of reluctance in Xie Yunsong's eyes. He glanced at her, then turned around, jumped on the horse, and galloped away.

After seeing Xie Yunsong off, Bai Zhiyuan returned to her tent. In the past few days, she had carefully sorted out what had happened since her rebirth. Although she had the upper hand in her rebirth, her life had already undergone earth-shaking changes from her previous life.

At present, she could only help Xie Yunsong to recover the northern border as soon as possible and return to Beijing as soon as possible. If she remembered correctly, a year later, the battle for the throne would enter a white-hot state.

Bai Zhiyuan pondered for a moment, sat at the table, wrote a letter to his home in Shangjing and his father in the southern border, gave it to Tianlin, and asked him to pass it back.

After doing all this, Bai Zhiyuan came to Master Qingyi's tent again. Although his master died tragically, Xie Yunsong did not order his tent to be dismantled. There were some medical and military books scattered in his master's tent. Bai Zhiyuan picked them up one by one and waited until he returned to Shangjing one day to take them back to Zhongnan Mountain.

Meanwhile, in the distant Shangjing, King Qi Zeyi of Yan received a report from his subordinates, "Master Qingyi died on the battlefield in the northern border."

King Qi Zeyi of Yan was not disturbed. Even though Master Qingyi did not die in his hands, he still died in the end.

Since Bai Zhiyuan went to the northern border, Qi Zeyi has sent people to inquire about the news in the northern border. However, I think Bai Zhiyuan must be very sad after Master Qingyi's death. I heard that Xie Yunsong won another victory. At this rate, it is only a matter of time before the northern border is recovered. Soon, Bai Zhiyuan should be able to return to Beijing.

Qi Zeyi thought so, walked out of the door, and headed towards Jiang Muyun's yard. The craftsmanship of the quack doctor was not bad, and the human skin mask he made looked 70% to 80% like Bai Zhiyuan, so he ordered Jiang Muyun to wear Bai Zhiyuan's mask on weekdays.

As soon as Qi Zeyi walked into Jiang Muyun's yard, Jiang Muyun was wearing Bai Zhiyuan's human skin mask, sitting quietly in front of the window, doing needlework. Although he knew it was fake, Qi Zeyi's heart was still moved. It was as if the scene in front of him had appeared in his dream thousands of times.

He walked forward, his eyes full of love and affection, stroked Bai Zhiyuan's face, bent down and kissed her.

Jiang Muyun was stunned, and then her heart was both sweet and bitter. The sweet thing was that since she put on this mask, Qi Zeyi came to her yard every day, and every time he saw her, his eyes were tender. But the bitter thing was that she knew that all this was not for her, but because of this face from Bai Zhiyuan.

……

Bai Zhiyuan, who was far away in the northern border, was also thinking about going to the capital. He had heard before that the emperor wanted to arrange marriages for the princes, but he didn't know if there would be any result now.

In the previous life, His Royal Highness Prince Chen finally married the daughter of Shangshu Ling Su Huiyuan - Su Qingxue. Su Qingxue was a famous talented woman in Dali. Not long after marrying Prince Chen, she was implicated. She had always been in poor health and finally died of depression.

In this life, I want to help Su Qingxue, but now she is in the northern border, and I am unable to do so even though I want to.

In the previous life, she married Qi Zeyi and helped him to ascend to the throne of the crown prince. In this life, they have broken off the engagement, and Jiang Muyun has married into the Prince of Yan's mansion as a concubine, so who will be the Prince of Yan's principal wife?

Bai Zhiyuan sat there thinking quietly for a long time, until it was getting dark, then she put aside everything in her mind and walked out of the tent.

Xie Yunsong's tent was pitch black, and so was his master's tent. Bai Zhiyuan suddenly felt sad, standing in the vast northern border, and felt confused about the future.

……

The next morning, Bai Zhiyuan got up early without telling anyone. Xie Yunsong would be gone for at least three days, and she was always having wild thoughts when she was alone.

Bai Zhiyuan then picked up his sword, mounted his horse and headed towards Wanxiang Mountain. It would be better to go and accompany the master than to stay here and think about it.

Master Qingyi was buried next to the hot spring they had discovered before. Although it was winter, the scenery here was still beautiful. It was a pity that this was not the master's home. One day, she would definitely take the master home.

Bai Zhiyuan's heart was filled with sadness. How could the master who taught her carefully and always smiled at her turn into a grave?

She sat in front of her master's grave and cried silently. She had many things to say to her master after her rebirth, but she didn't know who to tell them to. Now, sitting in front of her master's grave, she told her master all about her experience of rebirth.

She sat there for the entire day, and when she finally finished talking, she felt a lot more relieved.

She then stood up. The sky in the north always gets dark so early. She should go back. She had been away for a whole day today. Tianlin couldn't find her and would probably worry about her.

When she stood up and led the horse, at that moment, she keenly felt that there seemed to be someone not far behind her.

Bai Zhiyuan didn't move at first, as if he hadn't noticed anything, but he slowly tightened his grip on the sword, preparing to quickly draw it.

She was ready. Suddenly, there was a sound of applause from behind her.

"I actually met the Princess Rong'an of Dali here. What a fate!"

Bai Zhiyuan slowly turned her head. Behind her, a man appeared on horseback and approached her.

The man had eyes like an eagle, and he was actually the Crown Prince of the North - Yu Huangqing.

Seeing him getting closer and closer, Bai Zhiyuan wondered why he was so bold as to appear in the northern territory. Did he have some conspiracy? Or did he know that Xie Yunsong was not in the camp? No matter which one it was, Bai Zhiyuan felt a chill in his heart.

As far as she knew, Yu Huangqing was conceited, capable, and adventurous. He could stand out among the princes of Beidi, so his strength should not be underestimated. But he was too arrogant. He had just been defeated and lost Yanzhou, but he dared to appear in front of her so openly. So he must not be alone.

"Why did the dignified Northern Di prince sneak into our northern border? What do you want to do?"

Bai Zhiyuan was facing him and quickly looked around. As expected, there were people hiding behind a hill not far away, about ten in total.

Bai Zhiyuan did not dare to underestimate him. He and Yu Huangqing had won and lost half of their singles matches, but now he still had more than a dozen men, so it would be difficult for him to escape.

Bai Zhiyuan regretted his recklessness in his heart. He shouldn't have come here alone today. Since Yu Huangqing dared to come, the people he brought with him must be masters.

Yu Huangqing on the opposite side noticed her observation, and smiled as he said, "Princess Rong'an, you and I have met before on the battlefield. At that time, I was impressed by your demeanor, but you have no chance today. Why don't you surrender, leave Xie Yunsong, and go back with me? I will ensure that you will have a safe life and wealth. How do you think?"

Bai Zhiyuan didn't respond.

Seeing that she did not respond, Yu Huangqing knew that he had seen her martial arts and did not dare to underestimate her. He nodded and said, "The grave behind you is your master? Is it the old man who died at the hands of King Zhongshan?"

This sentence touched Bai Zhiyuan's sore spot. She raised her eyes, her eyes full of murderous intent that she couldn't hide, and said, "It was you Beidi people who killed my master!"

Yu Huangqing said with arrogance, "So what? He is just an old man half buried in the earth. I heard that he is your and Xie Yunsong's master. I think you must be very sad. Otherwise, you would not come here today. Back then, Xie Yunsong's father Xie Yu also died in my hands..."

Before he could finish, Bai Zhiyuan had already drawn his sword and rushed over.

Yu Huangqing dodged sideways and waved his hand. Dozens of guards behind him rode out on their horses and lined up behind him.

Why did Yu Huangqing come here? Of course, he knew that Xie Yunsong was not here, so he sneaked in, intending to disrupt the Northern Border Army and take revenge on Yanzhou. But he didn't expect to have an unexpected surprise today, and met the woman in front of him, the daughter of General Weiyuan of Dali - Princess Rong'an, who was also Xie Yunsong's sweetheart.

Behind Yu Huangqing stood a fierce-looking warrior, an old subordinate of King Zhongshan. When he saw Bai Zhiyuan, he had a fierce look in his eyes, and without waiting for Yu Huangqing to speak, he jumped off his horse and swung his sword at Bai Zhiyuan.

Bai Zhiyuan dodged by leaning to the side, and the blade grazes her head, cutting off a strand of hair. She took advantage of the opponent's knife momentum and reached out to grab the opponent's knife arm, pulling hard, and the man fell to the ground. Bai Zhiyuan quickly pulled out a dagger from her boot, raised her hand and stabbed the opponent's lower abdomen.

The man screamed and was about to fight back, but Bai Zhiyuan pulled out his dagger and stabbed him in the chest again, causing blood to gushed out. The man could no longer hold on and fell to the ground, dead.

It only took a moment from drawing the sword to stabbing the opponent to death with two swords.

Yu Huangqing and his guards were stunned for a moment before they reacted. Yu Huangqing had fought with Bai Zhiyuan before, and even suffered at her hands, so he looked at her without any contempt.
