Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

As we approached Shangjing, the chill of deep winter was about to dissipate, and in the past few days on the road, there was endless spring rain.

Bai Zhiyuan stopped his horse at the gate of Shangjing City, looking at the familiar city gate in front of him, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

She finally came back to Beijing.

The cold spring rain hits the body, chilling both the body and the mind. The whole of Shangjing seems to be shrouded in the cold.

Bai Zhiyuan did not stop, raised his whip and headed towards the city gate.

When the gatekeeper saw her, he was stunned at first, then knelt down to greet her.

Bai Zhiyuan didn't stop, waved his whip, and headed towards Bai Mansion.

She is now eager to return home, but she knows in her heart that within a day, the news of her return will spread throughout Shangjing.

But she is not afraid. No matter what kind of monsters and demons come, she is not afraid of them.

Bai Zhiyuan galloped all the way, and when he arrived at the gate of Bai's mansion, he jumped off the horse without even leading the horse properly.

Xia Qing, who was following behind her, quickly jumped off the horse and helped her hold the horse.

Bai Zhiyuan had already strode into the mansion.

When Wang Nian, the housekeeper of the Bai residence, saw her, he was stunned at first, then his eyes widened in disbelief.

He stood there in a daze until Bai Zhiyuan walked up to him with a smile on his face. Only then was he sure that the person in front of him was really his lady.

Wang Nian burst into tears and said in a trembling voice: "Miss, you are finally back."

Bai Zhiyuan asked with a smile: "Uncle Wang, what happened? I'm back, I'm really back."

Wang Nian was so excited that he didn't know what to say. His son Wang Qing was a little calmer than him and said quickly, "Miss, my father is so happy. We are all so happy that you are back."

Bai Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I've been gone for too long. Is everything okay in the mansion?"

After he finished speaking, he heard a shout, "Miss——"

Bai Zhiyuan turned around and a figure threw herself into her arms. It was her maid, Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao threw himself into Bai Zhiyuan's arms and cried sadly, crying and saying, "Miss, you are finally back. I missed you so much."

Bai Zhiyuan laughed, patted Ling Xiao's back helplessly, and said, "It's okay, I'm back."

Ling Xiao was still crying sadly, choking up and saying, "Ever since you left for the Northern Territory, I have lost my appetite and have been praying for you day and night. Miss, Ling Xiao will never leave you again."

Bai Zhiyuan chuckled and said, "Silly girl, I'm fine."

Ling Xiao refused: "Ling Xiao doesn't care, anyway, Miss, we will never separate again."

Bai Zhiyuan smiled and comforted him, "Okay, okay, I won't leave again, don't worry! Why are you still so crybaby?"

Ling Xiao burst into laughter and said, "Miss, why do you still like to tease people so much?

Bai Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Don't cry now."

Ling Xiao then pulled Bai Zhiyuan aside and looked her over carefully from head to toe. Seeing that his young lady had been away for almost two years and had lost a lot of weight, he couldn't help but tear up.

"Miss, I heard that the north is cold, and you are in the barracks, so you must not have enough food or warm clothes. When has our young lady ever suffered such hardship in her life? Look at you, you have lost weight."

Bai Zhiyuan let her look at him and said, "Well, now that I'm back, Ling Xiao, please nourish me well."

Ling Xiao touched Bai Zhiyuan again and said worriedly, "Miss, I heard that you were injured in the Northern Territory. You even cut off one arm of the Northern Di prince. Are you okay?"

Bai Zhiyuan was surprised and said, "You even know this news? I'm fine now, it's just a minor injury."

Ling Xiao: "Miss, you are so amazing. When the news spread back to the capital, everyone praised you for being worthy of being the master's daughter."

Suddenly, Ling Xiao seemed to remember something and looked behind her, only to see two people dressed as guards. So he asked, "Miss, didn't you say that you and General Yun Hui...he didn't come back with you?"

Bai Zhiyuan was startled at first, then raised his hand and said, "Ling Xiao, please forgive me. I have been traveling all the way, and you pulled me aside to ask questions as soon as I got back."

Ling Xiao finally reacted and said, "I'm sorry, Miss. Look at me! You should go and have a rest. I clean your room every day, just in case you suddenly come back one day."

Bai Zhiyuan then pulled Ling Xiao towards the room. After walking two steps, he seemed to remember something and turned to instruct Butler Wang, saying, "Uncle Wang, arrange a room for my guards. They have been busy all the way with me. Let them have a good rest."

Butler Wang quickly agreed.

Bai Zhiyuan turned and walked towards her yard, and waited to lie on her bed. The bedding had the familiar smell of freshly washed. It was the soft bed she had not seen for a long time. Bai Zhiyuan couldn't help but sigh that home was still more comfortable.

However, she was afraid that someone would soon get the news of her return to the capital. Today, she knew she was going to the capital, so she changed back into women's clothes. She was afraid that the storm would come soon.

Never mind, just take a good rest first and get enough energy so that you can face these monsters in Beijing.

As Bai Zhiyuan expected, as soon as Bai Zhiyuan returned to Beijing, the Prince of Yan's Mansion immediately received the news.

Bai Yu trotted all the way to King Yan's study and knocked on the door.

The voice of King Yan Qi Zeyi came from inside, "Enter!"

Bai Yu quietly pushed open the door, and King Qi Zeyi, without even raising his head, asked, "What's the matter?"

Bai Yu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the county lady has returned to the capital!"

"What?" Qi Zeyi stood up suddenly. At first he thought he had heard it wrong. It was not until Bai Yu said it for the second time that he was sure that Bai Zhiyuan had returned.

"Why did she come back suddenly? Was there no news before?"

Bai Yu replied, "After we failed to assassinate General Yun Hui in Youzhou, we withdrew our men to avoid being exposed. I only heard that the county lady and General Yun Hui have returned to the northern border. I don't know why the county lady suddenly returned to the capital."

Qi Zeyi was delighted, but he quickly calmed down and ordered: "Investigate! Go and investigate! Why did she suddenly return to Beijing? Something must have happened that we don't know about."

Bai Yu said: "Yes!"

After Bai Yu left, Qi Zeyi walked around the room. He was overwhelmed by the sudden news of Bai Zhiyuan's return. He wanted to go to Bai's house to see her right now. After not seeing her for two years, he wanted to tell her in person that he really missed her.

But he knew he couldn't be so impulsive. He would make plans after Bai Yu found out why A Yuan came back to Beijing.

Qi Zeyi gently caressed the portrait on the table and said silently: "Soon, Ayuan, we will be able to meet."

Thousands of miles away in the northern border, Xie Yunsong also received Tian Xun's letter. He finally put his mind at ease when he learned that Bai Zhiyuan would be able to arrive in Shangjing today.

Ever since Bai Zhiyuan left, he could no longer get a full night's sleep. He moved his entire tent into the tent where Bai Zhiyuan had lived before, as if only in this way could he be closer to her.

Since Ayuan has returned to the capital, he must also take action to recover the northern border as soon as possible. He must also return to Shangjing, and then he and Ayuan will be able to meet again.

Xie Yunsong said secretly: "Ayuan, wait for me!"
