Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

On this day, the first snow since the beginning of winter came quietly.

Because Xie Yunsong suffered minor injuries, he rested in Youzhou for another two days.

Two days later, Xie Yunsong and Bai Zhiyuan took Tianxun and set out on the journey again.

Qin Lang, the governor of Youzhou, heard the news and came to see him off.

"General Yun Hui, why don't you stay here for a few more days? Your injury is not healed yet."

Xie Yunsong said calmly: "It's fine now. We have been away from the Northern Territory for too long and can't delay any longer."

Qin Lang said apologetically, "The general was injured in Youzhou because of my lax management. Please blame me. I have been tracking down the assassins these past two days, but they are all dead men, and there is no evidence. Please forgive me for my incompetence. I still have no clue until now."

Xie Yunsong raised his eyes and said, "Since I have sent assassins, I am not afraid of your investigation. The assassin nearly injured the Princess of Rong'an that day, so I was in a hurry and ordered you to find out the truth. In fact, I know in my heart that there is probably no place to investigate this matter, which makes it difficult for you."

Qin Lang said in fear, "I dare not. General Yun Hui is too kind. I am really sorry for scaring the general and the county lady this time. It was the general and the county lady who exposed the true face of the former Youzhou prefect Sun Xuran and restored peace to Youzhou. Now you two have to suffer here again, and I feel very guilty."

Bai Zhiyuan said at the right time: "Master Qin, there is no need to be like this. General Yunhui is an upright man who fights for the country, but there are always some treacherous villains who want to kill him. Maybe they have been following us for a long time, and they just happened to have the opportunity to attack us in Youzhou. Master, don't feel too guilty, after all, we are fine."

"I came to Youzhou again this time and saw that Youzhou is slowly getting back on track. I know it's all thanks to you. You can govern Youzhou well, and General Yunhui no longer has to worry about the future. The general is naturally grateful to you."

Qin Lang was stunned at first, then he heard the hidden meaning in her words, and soon he came to his senses and said, "I will do my best to govern Youzhou well."

Xie Yunsong nodded, and then said: "It's getting late, the county lady and I will leave now. My lord, you don't have to see me off. If you have anything, you can write to the Northland."

Qin Lang said modestly: "Thank you, General, and thank you, County Lady."

Bai Zhiyuan: "Farewell, Sir Qin."

Qin Lang said: "General, County Lady, have a safe journey."

Xie Yunsong and Bai Zhiyuan nodded at him, then jumped on their horses and galloped north with Tianxun.

The snow and wind in the north seemed to be stronger, and the whistling sound of the wind was passing through the wilderness.

Due to the strong wind and snow, they could not walk fast. It took them seven or eight days to reach Tianshui.

After a short stay here, they continued to head north. As they got closer and closer to the northern border, the chill of deep winter became more and more obvious.

Bai Zhiyuan stood in front of the gate of Tianshui, breathing out white air, and recalled the last time he and Xie Yunsong passed by Tianshui. He found her at that time and asked her to pretend to be his fiancée just to deceive the Qin generals in Yuehua Town.

But in just over a year, some things and people have changed.

Bai Zhiyuan thought of Qin Jinan again, the always shy boy who ended up on a path of no return.

After Tianshui, it is Yuehua Town. I just don't know if Xie Yunsong will go to visit Qin Haiyi this time?

Seeing that Bai Zhiyuan seemed to be worried, Xie Yunsong walked up to her and gathered her cloak. The wind in the wilderness was raging, making Bai Zhiyuan's eyes narrow slightly and her hair flutter.

Xie Yunsong asked softly: "What happened to Ayuan?"

Bai Zhiyuan curled his lips and said, "Xie Yunsong, we have arrived at Tianshui. After Tianshui, it is Yuehua Town. We are getting closer and closer to the northern border. When I got here, I couldn't help but think of Commander Qin and Qin Jinan. I just felt a little emotional."

Xie Yunsong was stunned. He was the same. Ever since Qin Jinan's death, he had no face to face Uncle Qin. In the past, he would have rushed to Yuehua Town to visit Qin Haiyi. But now, he didn't know whether he should go again.

Bai Zhiyuan also knew what he was thinking, so she comforted him, "I think Commander Qin has fought all his life, he must understand you. What happened to Qin Jinan is not your fault. It was me. If I had paid more attention to him at that time, he wouldn't have gone astray."

Xie Yunsong took a step forward and gathered her into his big banner, leaving only her head exposed.

Tianxun didn't dare to look around, and he was complaining in his heart. On the way, the three of them were traveling together. The young master and the county magistrate kept hugging each other, which made him suffer. He didn't dare to look or disturb them. At this time, Tianxun missed his brother Tianlin again.

Tianxun thought for a moment and did not dare to disturb the two of them, so he could only lead the horse and wait for them on the official road not far from them.

Xie Yunsong hugged Bai Zhiyuan tightly, and his voice came from above her head: "Don't blame you. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame him for being too greedy. Don't worry, Uncle Qin will understand. But Qin Jinan is his only relative after all, and he must be hurt in his heart."

Bai Zhiyuan agreed, "Yes. Even though Qin Jinan committed a heinous crime, he is still his grandson. But this time when we pass by Yuehua Town, I think it is not appropriate for us to visit him again, so as not to bring up his sad past."

Xie Yunsong sighed and said, "Uncle Qin is old. I used to think about bringing him back to the capital to live with me after the northern border is pacified, but now, I'm afraid he won't want to go."

Bai Zhiyuan paused and said, "If you are worried about Commander Qin, why don't you go alone to visit him this time? Tianxun and I will wait for you."

Xie Yunsong's eyes darkened and he said, "Why should I appear in front of him again and expose his scars? After all, things have come to this point. I will go visit him after he has figured it out."

Bai Zhiyuan stopped talking after hearing this. She knew that this matter had always been a concern for Xie Yunsong. If she had the chance, she would definitely go and explain it to Commander Qin in person.

The two stood in the snow and hugged each other for a moment, letting the wind and snow blow their hair, enjoying the peaceful moment.

After a long time, Bai Zhiyuan got up from Xie Yunsong's arms. It was windy and snowy, and the road was difficult to travel on. It was not advisable to delay too long.

Xie Yunsong also understood what she meant. He gathered her in his arms, led her by the hand, and walked on the official road covered with snow.

Deep and shallow footprints stretched into a line in the snow. They walked slowly forward, letting the wind fill their sleeves.

The two of them slowly walked towards the horses, leaning against each other.

The wind and snow seemed to be getting stronger.

Xie Yunsong tightened Bai Zhiyuan's cloak, and then the two of them mounted their horses. They were not far from the northern border, but the roads were slippery due to the snow, making it difficult to ride fast. A snowstorm seemed to be brewing in the sky, so it would be better to return to the northern border as soon as possible.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, and the only sounds in the world were the rustling of snow and the sound of horses' hooves dripping.

The three of them walked in the snow for five or six days and finally returned to the North before the blizzard hit.

When they arrived at the Northern Border Camp, Bai Zhiyuan looked up and realized that it took him more than half a year to come back again.

Xie Yunsong's eyes also moved, and he turned to look at Bai Zhiyuan. The two looked at each other and saw a tacit understanding in each other's eyes.
