Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

As summer draws to an end and autumn arrives, the temperature in the south remains very high, without any hint of the coolness of early autumn.

The sky was just getting light, the rising sun was shining across the mountains and fields, and the morning glow was colorful.

However, today is another day of parting.

Princess Duanhui got up early, prepared a hearty breakfast for her daughter who was going on a long journey, and also packed her luggage early.

A mother worries about her son even when he is far away. Princess Duanhui was busy all morning, fearing that she had forgotten to prepare something.

When Bai Zhiyuan got up, her father, mother and brother were already waiting for her, and in front of them was a table full of delicious food prepared by her mother.

Princess Duanhui saw her coming and smiled and said, "Ayuan, come quickly. These are all your favorite foods."

Bai Zhiyuan felt reluctant, but smiled and said, "Mother prepared so much, how can we finish it?"

Princess Duanhui said with a smile: "You won't be able to eat your mother's food for a long time. What you can't finish today will be taken away for you to eat on the road."

Bai Zhiyuan smiled and nodded, "Okay, then we'll have dry food that smells like mother's food along the way."

Xie Yunsong, Tianlin, Tianxun and Cheng Beixiao also came here. During this period, Cheng Beixiao helped the injured soldiers in the southern border to heal their illnesses and injuries, which was very hard. This time, Xie Yunsong and Bai Zhiyuan returned to the northern border, and Cheng Beixiao went with them, but they could only go part of the way, and he had to go back to Shangjing. He had been away from Shangjing for too long, and a few days ago, he received a letter from his father Cheng Yuanheng, ordering him to return to Beijing as soon as possible.

The five of them ate a lot of food under the enthusiastic help of Princess Duanhui, until Bai Zhiyuan said, "Mother, we really can't eat any more."

Princess Duanhui paused and said sadly, "After dinner, Ayuan will leave, right?"

Bai Zhiyuan was stunned and felt sad, but he didn't dare to show it for fear of adding to his mother's sadness.

She pretended not to care and said, "Mother, you can't bear to part with me? Why don't you let father give up and let mother go with me?"

Bai Tingxuan put his arm around his wife's shoulders and said, "Nonsense!"

Bai Zhiyuan joked, "Look! Mother, father can't bear to part with you."

Princess Duanhui then smiled again and said, "You kid."

Bai Tingxuan coughed lightly and unnaturally.

Bai Qiuze said at this time: "It's getting late, sister, please set off early. The journey is long and we can't delay."

Princess Duanhui and Bai Tingxuan both showed reluctance on their faces. Bai Zhiyuan looked at them one by one and said, "Father, mother, brother, I'm leaving now. Take care of yourselves."

Thousands of words can now be reduced to just one sentence: "Take care of yourself."

Princess Duanhui's eyes were red again, and she tried hard to hold back her tears. Bai Tingxuan patted his daughter on the shoulder and said, "Go. Don't worry about us, and take care of yourself, Ayuan!"

Bai Zhiyuan nodded, and they all walked out.

When they reached the camp gate, Bai Zhiyuan stopped, turned around and said to everyone, "Stop, after seeing you off for a thousand miles, we must finally say goodbye. Father, mother, brother, I'm leaving now, and we'll see you in Beijing!"

The eyes of the three were filled with deep reluctance, and Bai Zhiyuan felt even more reluctant.

Bai Tingxuan approached Xie Yunsong and said, "I entrust Ayuan to you. Have a safe journey!"

Xie Yunsong nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of her."

Princess Duanhui stepped forward, touched her daughter's face, and said, "Go quickly, and remember to tell your mother that you are safe."

Bai Zhiyuan stepped forward and hugged Princess Duanhui.

Bai Zhiyuan smiled and said to Bai Qiuze: "Brother, take care!"

Bai Qiuze touched her head and nodded with a smile.

In her previous life, Bai Zhiyuan's parents and brother had died tragically, and she had not enjoyed the warmth of her family for many years. In this life, she truly made up for the regrets of her previous life.

Bai Zhiyuan silently said in his heart: "Soon, we will be able to meet again soon."

Tianlin and Tianxun led the horses over.

Xie Yunsong and Cheng Beixiao were the first to mount their horses and waved goodbye to everyone one by one.

Bai Zhiyuan looked at his relatives one by one again, then turned and left, mounted his horse, waved to them, then raised his whip and galloped away, leaving only a trail of dust.

They didn't know how long they had been traveling, but it was almost dusk. The route they planned was to go from Yongzhou to Xin'an and then to Dingzhou. Dingzhou was Shangjing, and they said goodbye to Cheng Beixiao in Dingzhou. After Cheng Beixiao returned to Shangjing, they headed north.

They will stay in a small town not far from Wudu tonight. They need to speed up the journey. Bai Zhiyuan has already written to his grandfather, saying that the journey is long and the sky is high, so they cannot delay too long, so they will not pass by Wudu on this trip.

They will rest here tonight and continue their journey north early tomorrow morning.

After the five of them had a simple dinner, they sat in the yard of the small town inn and drank tea. Bai Zhiyuan looked up at the moon in the sky and was a little distracted for a moment.

Cheng Beixiao said: "Miss Bai, are you missing your family? After spending some time with her, I found that Miss Bai's family is really nice."

Bai Zhiyuan came back to his senses and smiled, "Yes, my family always supports me with all their efforts. I feel at ease with them around."

Xie Yunsong's eyes flashed with heartache, and he said, "If Ayuan regrets it, it's not too late now."

Bai Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, then said, "How could that be? Now that I have made the decision, I will not regret it."

Xie Yunsong said: "I really can't bear to separate you from your family. Ayuan, we will be able to return to Beijing soon."

Bai Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I know. That's why I came to help you. Of course I trust you."

Xie Yunsong also smiled. Bai Zhiyuan laughed in his heart. Xie Yunsong usually looked cold and aloof. In fact, he was very insecure, but he was very easy to coax. He could be coaxed by just a few nice words.

Bai Zhiyuan looked at the man in front of her. He was dressed in black, with a noble temperament. His handsome face was cold and elegant, and his eyes were dark and deep, as bright as the night sky tonight. At this moment, he was looking at her seriously, with no concealment of affection in his eyes.

The nights started to get cooler after the beginning of autumn. Xie Yunsong took off his coat, put it on Bai Zhiyuan, and smoothed her hair that was messed up by the wind.

Cheng Beixiao looked at the scene in front of him, took a sip of tea and said, "It won't be long before I can't see you two being so affectionate."

He said reluctantly, "We will be separated soon. I don't know why my old man wanted to call me back to Beijing. I wanted to follow you to the northern border."

Xie Yunsong said calmly: "You have been out for a long time, and Doctor Cheng is worried about you. You should go back. We will take care of ourselves."

"Yes!" Bai Zhiyuan continued, "I think we will be able to return to Beijing soon, and we will meet again then. Why do you make it seem like we are parting forever?"

Cheng Beixiao smiled, his face returning to its usual playful smile as he said, "That's right. The moonlight tonight is so beautiful that I feel sad for a moment. I'll be waiting for you in Shangjing. When you come back, I will personally plan a grand wedding for you. Let everyone in Shangjing see that my friend Xie Yunsong is getting married."

Bai Zhiyuan couldn't help laughing. This was Cheng Beixiao. He truly regarded Xie Yunsong as a friend.

With a friend like you, what else could I ask for?

Xie Yunsong raised his lips slightly and said, "Okay, why don't you pay for the wedding as well? You have money anyway."

Cheng Beixiao was originally immersed in a beautiful fantasy. When he heard Xie Yunsong's words, he choked and said, "Xie Yunsong, listen to what you are saying. You want me to spend money to marry your wife?"

Turning to Bai Zhiyuan, he said, "Miss Bai, you don't mind this? Your future husband actually spent another man's money to marry you."

Bai Zhiyuan couldn't help laughing and said, "I don't mind."

Cheng Beixiao's face was dark, and he pointed at the two of them and said, "No wonder you two can be together."

The atmosphere of parting was blown away by this noise, and the three chatted for a while. Seeing that it was getting dark and they had to travel early in the morning, they went back to their room to rest.
