Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

It has been more than a month since the group left Shangjing and headed north.

Bai Zhiyuan mingled in the recruit camp and no one discovered her identity.

Bai Zhiyuan felt uncomfortable and complained a lot at the beginning. She even thought about giving up and returning to Beijing. Now she has integrated into the military life, eating, sleeping and walking with the other new recruits. Sometimes she even forgets that she is a woman.

All the way from Shangjing to here, from spring to early summer. The team arrived at a place called Luoxia Mountain in Longxi. There were few people here, and there was a small river with beautiful scenery, so they set up camp here.

Now that summer has arrived, traveling has become difficult. It is okay if you get up early in the morning, but by noon, it is almost impossible to move forward.

On this day, when the sun was shining brightly, Bai Zhiyuan sat by the lake and scooped water to drink. She looked at herself in the lake. She was born in Shangjing with fair skin, but after this month's exposure to the wind and sun, her face had become visibly darker. At first, she was worried about being discovered and had to disguise herself, but now she didn't need to do that. She thought that even if she stood in front of Xie Yunsong, he would have to recognize her carefully.

Seeing her sitting by the lake alone, Xiao Shan asked, "Brother Bai, what are you doing?"

Bai Zhiyuan came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I've been away from home for a month, and I miss home a little."

Xiaoshan sat down next to her and put his arm around her shoulders. Bai Zhiyuan stiffened and stood up subconsciously. Fortunately, Xiaoshan didn't notice anything unusual. He said, "Brother Bai, I guess you haven't been away from home for so long. I miss home a little bit, too. I wonder how my mother and sister are doing? Will my sister be bullied without me?"

As he spoke, he became sad, and Bai Zhiyuan didn't know how to comfort him. Fortunately, after a while, he returned to his usual cheerful self. He said, "Brother Bai, is there anyone else in your family?"

Bai Zhiyuan thought for a moment and answered, "I still have a father, mother, and brother. My brother also joined the army and went to the southern border."

Unexpectedly, Xiaoshan became excited when he heard this. He said excitedly: "Your brother went to the southern border? Then why don't you go with him? If you two join the army together, there will always be someone to take care of you. What if, I mean what if, joining the army means going to the battlefield in the future, what if we die in the wilderness, there will be someone to collect our bodies. Or if our bodies are gone, there will be someone to inform our family..."

Xiaoshan's voice became lower and lower, and finally Bai Zhiyuan could no longer hear it. Then he looked up at him, and he looked sad again.

"This guy's moods are so changeable." Bai Zhiyuan thought to himself.

Seeing that Xiaoshan was unhappy, she asked, "Brother Xiaoshan, why did you join the army?"

Xiao Shan smiled bitterly and said, "For money. My mother was seriously ill, but we had no money to treat her. The neighbor's son was a little bully. He fell in love with my sister and wanted her to marry him as a concubine. He would give us money to treat my mother. But my mother didn't want to, and my sister cried and was ready to sell herself. I gritted my teeth and joined the army. Although it was hard to join the army, at least I could have enough food and clothes, and I could get military pay and rewards. If I got the money, my mother could afford a doctor, and her illness would be cured."

Bai Zhiyuan felt compassion in her heart. In her past and present lives, she had never worried about money, but she didn't know that there were people in the world who would worry about money and even sell their bodies. The sufferings of the world can only be seen by going out. How many of those high-ranking princes and ministers can truly understand the sufferings of the people?

Without waiting for Bai Zhiyuan to speak, Xiao Shan continued, "I originally planned to go to General Weiyuan's barracks, but I went to the wrong place to enlist that day and ended up enlisting under General Yunhui's camp by mistake."

Bai Zhiyuan laughed in her heart when she heard this. She asked, "Why do you want to go to General Weiyuan's military camp?"

Xiao Shan's eyes lit up when he heard this. He said, "Everyone says that General Weiyuan is brave and invincible. He has guarded the southern border for more than 20 years and has never been defeated. It is said that General Weiyuan's son, General Guanying, is also brave and good at fighting. Unfortunately, due to some mistakes, I was not able to join their army in the end."

Bai Zhiyuan smiled secretly. The young man in front of him had no idea that the person in front of him was the daughter of General Weiyuan. If Xie Yunsong knew that the people under his command originally wanted to join her father's army, I wonder how he would feel.

Thinking of this, Bai Zhiyuan said with a smile: "General Yunhui is also very good. I heard that he is very heroic and is the young god of war in Dali. It would be great to join his army."

Xiao Shan added, "That being said, General Yun Hui is young after all. I'm afraid he lacks battlefield experience. And fighting is not just about looks, but also about real skills. General Yun Hui is certainly powerful, but he's still a little behind General Wei Yuan."

Bai Zhiyuan laughed. At this time, some people joined their conversation. The man named Wang Shi said, "Xiaoshan is right. I also want to join the army under General Weiyuan. Unfortunately, General Weiyuan has recruited enough soldiers. I have no choice but to come here."

"Me too……"

"Me too. General Xie is good, but I'm afraid it's because his father, General Jingyuan, can lead the Northern Border Army. Otherwise, how can he, at such a young age,..."

Bai Zhiyuan felt a little sorry for Xie Yunsong after hearing this. She said, "I am different from you. I came here to follow General Xie."

As soon as these words came out, everyone surrounded her and looked at her.

Bai Zhiyuan added: "Although General Xie is young, he has been fighting with General Jingyuan since he was eight years old. The northern border has been invaded by the Northern Di for many years, and it was General Xie who fought desperately, and even General Jingyuan died because of it. Although we are in Shangjing, the stability and prosperity of Shangjing are all protected by General Xie."

"General Xie lost his father for this, but he still picked up a spear and a halberd to fight the enemy. But you are saying that he is young and are afraid that he is not qualified for the position of general. You know that General Yunhui has never been defeated in battle. He is bold and careful, dares to use troops and is good at using people. The people of Beidi are terrified when they hear his name. You should feel proud and proud to be his subordinates instead of criticizing him here."

When everyone heard this, they were all embarrassed and felt ashamed.

After a while, Xiao Shan stood up and said, "Brother Bai is right. Since we have followed General Yun Hui, we will share life and death with him, and we will do our best to help him protect the northern border."

Bai Zhiyuan's words made everyone excited. Wang Shi said excitedly: "Yes, we swear to follow General Yun Hui to the death!"

Everyone echoed, "We will follow General Yun Hui until death!"

"I swear to follow General Yun Hui until death!"

……

Bai Zhiyuan was feeling smug and looking at them with satisfaction.

At this time, a voice sounded: "What are you doing?"

Bai Zhiyuan looked through the crowd and saw a strong man about 40 years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, sturdy and dark, as tall as a tree, holding a spear, very majestic. He said angrily: "I asked you to camp here to rest, why are you all gathered together? General Yunhui is not someone you can discuss. The general is outstanding and has great martial arts skills. You ignorant children..."

"You two, today I will punish you by making you run around the foot of this mountain twice. Let's see if you still have the energy to criticize the general!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked and complained bitterly.

At this time, another voice asked sternly: "What are you all doing here?"

The man walked over, and Bai Zhiyuan was shocked when he saw that the man was Xie Yunsong's deputy general - Lu Zhiling.

Bai Zhiyuan hurriedly stood among the crowd, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible.

The sturdy man said, "This group of new soldiers are discussing that the general is too young and lacks combat experience, and they are comparing the general with General Weiyuan..."

Lu Zhiling glanced around sharply, and everyone lowered their heads and dared not speak.

"General Zhou, since these people are so critical of the general, then as you said, let them run two laps around the foot of the mountain as a warning to others."

"Yes."

It turned out that the sturdy man just now was the cavalry general under Xie Yunsong - Zhou Yehan.

I heard that this man was also a veteran who had experienced many battles and was one of the most respected generals under General Xie Yu of Huaiyuan. He was brave in combat and had great prestige in the army.

No wonder they support Xie Yunsong so much.

While thinking, the general Zhou said, "Deputy General, thanks to one person among these people who has been protecting the general's reputation, these new soldiers have a new understanding of the general."

Bai Zhiyuan's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself that something was wrong.

Sure enough, Lu Zhiling glanced at the crowd and asked, "Who? Step out! He will be exempted from punishment today."

Bai Zhiyuan's heart beat faster and he had no choice but to stand up.

Lu Zhiling just stared at him. He saw that the man was handsome and had bright eyes. He felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.

Lu Zhiling looked for a long time but to no avail. He waved his hand, praised Bai Zhiyuan briefly, and asked her name. Fortunately, Bai Zhiyuan had been prepared and was not exposed.

Lu Zhiling urged everyone on again before turning around and leaving.

Only then did Bai Zhiyuan feel relieved.
