Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

Heba Yun watched He Xiaowan fall to the ground and take her last breath, a satisfied smile appearing on his lips.

Bai Zhiyuan felt pity for He Xiaowan, as she was also a pitiful person. But she also knew that she and He Xiaowan were ultimately opposites.

Bai Zhiyuan sighed softly, squatted down, and helped He Xiaowan close her eyes.

After doing all this, she stood up, but saw Heba Yun looking at her with a scrutinizing expression.

Heba Yun said, "He Xiaowan usually doesn't trust anyone. Whenever she travels, she brings along many trusted confidants with strong martial arts skills. I didn't expect that she would come alone today. This is a great opportunity."

He curled his lips and smiled: "I finally killed her. No one can control me anymore. Hahahaha..."

Bai Zhiyuan looked at him and felt a chill in his heart. He Xiaowan was his sister after all, and even after sleeping in the same bed with him for so many years, he was so cruel that he didn't even have a trace of regret or sadness.

Heba Yun saw Bai Zhiyuan's eyes and asked, "Why? Are you feeling sorry for her?"

Bai Zhiyuan replied: "This is your family affair. I just want to get the antidote. He Xiaowan is dead. The prince should now think about how to explain to the people in the court why the princess died in your study."

"Also, where are He Xiaowan's other medicines?"

Heba Yun sneered and said, "Who said I killed He Xiaowan? She was clearly killed by an assassin like you who sneaked in from Dali!"

Bai Zhiyuan suddenly looked up at Heba Yun. No wonder he dared to kill He Xiaowan today. It turned out that he had planned it in advance.

What a good plan to kill two birds with one stone, not only solved his biggest worry He Xiaowan, but also killed the enemy. Who said Heba Yun was mediocre? In the years he was with He Xiaowan, he had already grown into a qualified king.

Fortunately, Bai Zhiyuan didn't completely believe him.

Bai Zhiyuan glanced at him with mockery in her eyes. She quickly reached out and knocked Heba Yun unconscious, then found a rope in the house and tied him up.

Heba Yun was complacent with his perfect plan, but he didn't expect Bai Zhiyuan to act so quickly. He was knocked unconscious before he could react.

"Pah!" A pot of water was poured over Heba Yun's head, and Heba Yun woke up slowly.

The next moment, the dagger in Bai Zhiyuan's hand was against his neck.

Blood flowed down his neck. No one could remain calm when life and death were at stake. Heba Yun, who had always been complacent, was no exception. At this moment, he couldn't help but reveal a trace of panic in his eyes.

Bai Zhiyuan asked: "Let me ask again, where is He Xiaowan's medicine hidden?"

Heba Yun closed his eyes and refused to tell the truth. "Even if you kill me, you can't leave. I want to know, who are you?"

Bai Zhiyuan sneered and shrugged nonchalantly, "Didn't He Xiaowan just say that? I'm from Dali. You don't need to know my identity."

"Now you just need to tell me where the medicine is hidden?"

Heba Yun turned his head and said, "Didn't you already get the antidote? Don't you believe that this is the real antidote?"

Bai Zhiyuan: "It's not that I don't believe it, I'm just being safe. If the antidote is fake, I'm afraid I'll never be able to get the real antidote again."

As she spoke, the dagger in Bai Zhiyuan's hand slowly pressed deeper into Heba Yun's neck. Heba Yun felt that if she exerted a little more force, he would die.

He was extremely panicked and shouted, "Stop! I said, her medicine is hidden under her bed in her bedroom. There is a secret passage under her bed."

Bai Zhiyuan asked again: "Where is the entrance to the secret passage?"

Heba Yun still wanted to hide it, but Bai Zhiyuan exerted force, and blood flowed down his neck again. He felt a slight pain, closed his eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Under her dressing table."

Bai Zhiyuan understood that he didn't dare to lie at this moment, so he reached out and slapped Heba Yun hard on the back of his neck, and Heba Yun fainted immediately.

Fortunately, He Xiaowan came today and did not want to alarm others, and Heba Yun had already sent the servants away, which gave Bai Zhiyuan the opportunity to escape.

It was late at night and quiet outside. Bai Zhiyuan didn't care what he thought. Now she could only break into He Xiaowan's bedroom and take away all her medicine.

It was too late. Bai Zhiyuan thought for a moment and decided not to go find Xie Yunsong. If Heba Yun woke up, they would really be unable to leave. After a brief thought, she came to the princess' bedroom alone.

She held the dagger that she had just taken from Heba Yun and carefully avoided the guards of the princess's mansion. Perhaps because He Xiaowan wanted to sneak out to find Heba Yun more easily, there were fewer guards today than usual. Bai Zhiyuan quickly found He Xiaowan's bedroom based on her memory and jumped in through the window.

As soon as he entered, Bai Zhiyuan was pointed at with a sword. Bai Zhiyuan looked at the person opposite him, but it was too dark at night and he could not see anything.

Without time to think, Bai Zhiyuan swung the dagger fiercely and the man dodged.

At this moment, Bai Zhiyuan found that this person was very familiar. She was stunned and asked tentatively: "Who are you?"

The person on the other side was also stunned, then put away his sword and asked, "Ayuan?"

It’s Xie Yunsong!

Bai Zhiyuan felt relieved and asked, "Why are you here?"

Xie Yunsong replied: "I have been monitoring the princess's bedroom these days. I saw her disguised as a maid, and I thought she went to Heba Yun. I thought this was a good opportunity to search her bedroom to find out where her antidote is hidden."

Bai Zhiyuan asked again: "Did you find it?"

Xie Yunsong shook his head.

Bai Zhiyuan pulled him to He Xiaowan's bed and knocked, and it was indeed empty.

She walked to He Xiaowan's dressing table again, fumbled for a long time, found a bulge, pressed hard, and sure enough, the bed board moved.

Bai Zhiyuan and Xie Yunsong looked at each other and walked to the bed, which was a secret room. Xie Yunsong jumped down first, followed by Bai Zhiyuan.

After entering the secret room, Xie Yunsong took out the fire starter he was carrying. Bai Zhiyuan then saw clearly and was shocked to see all kinds of poisonous insects, snakes, and bottles and jars in the secret room.

The two of them didn't have time to look at it, and just poured out the medicine in the bottles. Bai Zhiyuan wrapped up all the medicine and put it on his body.

I don’t know which one is the real antidote, so take them all back and let Cheng Beixiao identify them.

After doing all this, Bai Zhiyuan looked around the secret room again. There were some manuscripts scattered on the ground, which should be written by He Xiaowan. She collected them all.

Then, she said to Xie Yunsong: "Let's get out of here quickly!"

When Xie Yunsong and Bai Zhiyuan had just left the princess's bedroom, they heard chaotic footsteps outside and the guards shouted "Catch the assassin!"

Bai Zhiyuan's heart tightened, fearing that Heba Yun had woken up.

The two of them hid their tracks and retreated through the side door they came from.

When I saw the side door, I heard someone shout, "Stop!"

Bai Zhiyuan's body stiffened and he slowly turned around, only to see that the person coming was Wei Chi.

Wei Chi was relieved to see that the two of them were safe and sound. He drew his sword and slashed at the guards beside him. The two guards who followed him fell to the ground. Wei Chi stepped forward and said, "Follow me!"

Xie Yunsong took Bai Zhiyuan's hand and quickly followed Wei Chi. Wei Chi had already thought of a way out for them on the first day they entered the palace.

He led Xie Yunsong and the other two to an abandoned small gate and urged them, "Hurry up, go out from here and go forward to the inn where you stayed before. The owner of the inn will keep your swords for you. Once you get the swords, leave Nanman quickly."

Bai Zhiyuan asked, "But has anyone discovered that the princess is dead?"

Wei Chi replied: "That's right. The prince said that there were assassins trying to kill him and the princess. The princess died, and he was also injured."

Bai Zhiyuan sneered: "He was the one who killed the princess."

Then he said to Wei Chi, "Sir, won't you leave with us? What if Heba Yun finds out about you?"

Wei Chi said: "My mission is to continue to lurk here. General Bai may need me in the future."

Bai Zhiyuan nodded and said, "Take care!"

Then he grabbed Xie Yunsong and left without looking back.

Wei Chi returned along the way, not forgetting to cut himself a few times. He happened to run into the searchers. He covered his wound and pointed in another direction, saying, "They ran from that side!"

Everyone chased in the opposite direction, and Wei Chi felt relieved.

Bai Zhiyuan and Xie Yunsong went to the inn where they had stayed before, took their swords, bought two horses from the owner, and rushed out of the city without stopping under the cover of night.

By the time Heba Yun ordered his men to seal the city gates, the two of them had already escaped for a long time.

The remaining furious Heba Yun yelled at the palace guards.

Bai Zhiyuan and Xie Yunsong traveled all night without sleep and only stopped to rest for a while.

Bai Zhiyuan looked back and realized that after a month in Nanman, he had finally obtained the antidote. The trip was worthwhile.

She looked at Xie Yunsong and smiled. The two of them fought side by side again and successfully escaped danger.

Xie Yunsong also looked at her, with undisguised tenderness in the depths of his eyes.
