Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

When the three of them entered the woods, Bai Zhiyuan saw that Xie Yunsong was carrying a quiver full of arrows on his back.

The three of them walked a little forward, and in the moonlight, Bai Zhiyuan saw two horses in the distance and was surprised.

Seeing her surprised expression, Xie Yunsong explained, "On the way here today, Master Cheng said he wanted to taste the game from Mount Li. I prepared two horses here before entering the palace. I just didn't know Miss Bai was coming, so I only have two horses now. Miss Bai, you and Bei Xiao go first."

Bai Zhiyuan looked up and asked, "What about you, General?"

"I'll just walk in front." Xie Yunsong replied.

After all, it was too intimate for a man and a woman to ride together. He was thinking about himself. If he and Cheng Beixiao were to ride together, it would not seem appropriate for two men.

Bai Zhiyuan thought to himself, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come. I have disturbed these two people's fun for nothing."

Seeing the two of them like this, Cheng Beixiao said nonchalantly: "Miss Bai, you can't bear to let Yunsong walk, and this forest is very big, so why don't you two ride together. Don't worry, I didn't see anything and I won't tell anything. Just pretend I don't exist." After that, he laughed maliciously.

In this case, Bai Zhiyuan is not a timid woman, and there is no better way at the moment.

Bai Zhiyuan then climbed onto the horse, leaned down from the horse, stretched out her hand, and said to Xie Yunsong: "General Xie, please get on. Don't feel offended by me."

The wind whistled in my ears and her voice was soft and clear.

Xie Yunsong no longer hesitated, jumped on the horse and rode away.

Cheng Beixiao on the side raised his eyebrows and watched them walk away with an amused look on his face.

This forest was specially used by the royal family for hunting. It covered a vast area with undulating mountains. Although it was dark now, one could still vaguely see a large tract of lush forest in front of him.

As the horses' backs bounced, their bodies inevitably pressed against each other. The man's scent hit her face, and Bai Zhiyuan felt his body was as stiff as a statue. She could only try her best to ignore the embarrassment.

Just at this moment, a hare jumped out of the grass in front.

"call out----"

Xie Yunsong immediately shot an arrow, which flew straight towards the hare. Bai Zhiyuan watched the hare fall down after being hit by the arrow.

Cheng Beixiao arrived just in time and clapped his hands, saying, "Not bad, Yunsong, your archery skills are almost as good as mine."

Xie Yunsong rolled his eyes at him, jumped off his horse, picked up the hare and hung it on the saddle.

He got on the horse again, the night wind blew Bai Zhiyuan's long hair, lingering on both sides of his cheeks.

He felt her warm breath and his heart skipped a beat.

Bai Zhiyuan turned her head away, wanting to praise him, but she met his gaze and felt his breath on her face. She was stunned for a moment before she said, "Thank you for your archery skills, General. Why don't you give me an arrow and let me shoot it later?"

Now it was Xie Yunsong's turn to be surprised. He asked, "Miss Bai also knows how to shoot arrows?"

Bai Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I learned a little from my father when I was young."

As they were talking, a deer jumped out from the grass in front of them. The deer was huge, with two huge horns, and looked very strong.

Xie Yunsong handed Bai Zhiyuan an arrow, and Bai Zhiyuan shot the arrow immediately. The arrow went straight towards the deer. When it was about to hit the deer, the deer leaped up, flashed past their eyes, and rushed into the forest.

"Come on!"

Bai Zhiyuan shouted, and Xie Yunsong spurred his horse and chased after him.

Seeing this, Cheng Beixiao spurred his horse and immediately chased after him.

It was dark, and the light in the forest was even dimmer than outside. The deer was panicking and running wildly in the forest, with Bai Zhiyuan and Xie Yunsong chasing closely. They circled in the forest for a long time, but finally lost the deer.

Cheng Beixiao was very upset and dismounted and stopped.

Bai Zhiyuan also looked annoyed: "It's because I'm not good at archery that I lost the deer."

Xie Yunsong said, "If Miss Bai likes this deer, it's getting late now, so why not shoot it tomorrow."

Bai Zhiyuan looked up at the sky. He had already walked more than ten or twenty miles in pursuit of the deer. If he didn't go back, it would probably be the middle of the night.

Thinking of this, Bai Zhiyuan nodded and said, "Then let's go back."

"I don't really like it, but seeing that the deer is strong and sturdy, I thought it would be very warm to make clothes with it."

Cheng Beixiao said, "White fox is the best choice for making clothes and furs. It is warm and beautiful for women to wear. If I am lucky enough to shoot a white fox tomorrow, I will make a cape for it. It will match Miss Bai's appearance."

Bai Zhiyuan laughed softly when he heard this.

Cheng Beixiao continued to insist, "Didn't we just hunt a hare? Let's eat it before returning. This will make the trip worthwhile."

Xie Yunsong hesitated for a moment, then looked down at Bai Zhiyuan and said, "Miss Bai, what do you think?"

Bai Zhiyuan didn't comment, but nodded and said, "It's fine with me."

The pale yellow moon hung in the sky above the woods, emitting a faint cool light, illuminating the two people on their horses below.

Xie Yunsong rode his horse and led Bai Zhiyuan and Cheng Beixiao out of the forest. They walked a few miles forward and heard the sound of a gurgling stream. They followed the sound and came to a valley.

Xie Yunsong dismounted and said to the two men, "This valley is not far from the palace, let's make a fire here."

Cheng Beixiao was cheered up and hurriedly started a fire to cut and clean the rabbit.

Soon, the bonfire was lit, and the meat was sprinkled with a little salt and roasted. Cheng Beixiao also took out the wine he brought, and the three of them sat by the bonfire, drinking and chatting.

Cheng Beixiao sat next to Xie Yunsong, drank some wine, and chatted with Bai Zhiyuan, "Miss Bai, you really impressed me. Most women in Beijing are weak, but Miss Bai is a heroine. Riding, archery, swordsmanship, Qinggong, is there anything you can't do?"

Bai Zhiyuan said with a smile: "Mr. Cheng, you are too kind. There are many things I don't know. For example, I don't know how to embroider or do needlework. Most women in Beijing like to embroider to pass the time, but I usually practice swordsmanship."

Xie Yunsong's gaze, through the fire, always fell on Bai Zhiyuan.

Hearing this, Cheng Beixiao laughed and said, "Miss Bai is indeed different. I, Cheng Beixiao, have made you my friend. If you need my help in the future, I will do my best."

Seeing that he was a little tipsy, Bai Zhiyuan turned his head and looked at Xie Yunsong and said, "General Xie, please bear witness to what Master Cheng said. Don't deny it when you sober up tomorrow."

Xie Yunsong responded: "Okay. Don't worry, Miss Bai, I'll write it down for you."

Bai Zhiyuan smiled brightly. Xie Yunsong slowly stood up, supported Cheng Beixiao, and sneered, "Wake up, we have to go back. When it's daybreak, I'm afraid it will inevitably alert the palace guards."

Cheng Beixiao was startled when he heard this, and he sobered up a little. He frowned and shouted, "Why don't you come back quickly?"

After saying this, he mounted his horse and prepared to return.

Bai Zhiyuan glanced at the sky, it was almost dawn, it should be the fifth watch. She was shocked to realize that it was almost dawn, they had sneaked out, if they were seen by others, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, he quickly rode on a horse with Xie Yunsong and galloped towards the palace.

Fortunately, the valley that Xie Yunsong found was close to the palace, and soon the three of them returned to the palace along the same route.

After cleverly avoiding the palace guards along the way, Xie Yunsong and Cheng Beixiao sent Bai Zhiyuan back to the courtyard where she lived, and then left with peace of mind.

Bai Zhiyuan went back to his room and lay down in his clothes. Perhaps because he had drunk some wine, he fell asleep soon.
