Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

A few days passed, and since that day, no one dared to cause trouble for Bai Zhiyuan. Bai Zhiyuan unexpectedly gained a few followers, who pestered her to teach them martial arts every day. Fortunately, she was on the road these days, otherwise Bai Zhiyuan would have been annoyed to death by them.

After a day's journey, the team arrived at a place called Baishizhou. As it grew darker, they set up camp there.

Bai Zhiyuan lay on the bed and rested for a while. She woke up when the people who went to the river to bathe came back one after another and everyone rested. She looked at the moon outside the window and estimated that it was midnight. Then she got up from the bed, picked up clean clothes, sneaked out of the door, and walked to the river avoiding the night watchmen.

This was a wild and empty field with a bright moon overhead. Bai Zhiyuan tiptoed to the river.

She took off her coat by the river and walked into the river.

In the hot summer, the river water has been exposed to the sun all day. Now the temperature is just right and the river breeze is refreshing. Bai Zhiyuan wiped his face and felt that the tiredness from the long journey at noon was swept away. Every part of his body felt comfortable and soothed.

Bai Zhiyuan washed himself thoroughly in the river, then dried himself, tied up his wet hair, put on his clothes, and prepared to go to the camp.

As soon as she climbed over a big rock, she saw Lu Zhiling standing beside her, which scared her.

Bai Zhiyuan was stunned and asked, "Deputy General Lu, what are you doing here so late?"

Lu Zhiling stared at her coldly and said, "What are you doing here again? You're sneaking around."

Bai Zhiyuan secretly sighed inwardly that he was unlucky, but he also answered honestly: "I'm taking a shower here."

Hearing this, Lu Zhiling clearly didn't believe it. He asked with a look of doubt, "Taking a shower at this time?"

Bai Zhiyuan could only say, "I fell asleep then, and just woke up feeling hot, so I came to take a shower."

Lu Zhiling stared at her for a long while, then finally walked away.

Bai Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief and then rushed back to the camp.

She tiptoed back to the tent. Everyone was sleeping soundly. Her bed was in the corner. She lay down on it, wondering why Lu Zhiling was there today.

After thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't figure out the reason, so she simply stopped thinking about it, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

The next morning, it was another day of getting up early and traveling.

Bai Zhiyuan was the last one to get up. Everyone had already gone to gather, so she hurried out of the tent.

But as soon as she left the tent, she was caught. She didn't understand why and asked, "Why are you arresting me?" However, Zhang Hu, who was standing next to her, was very proud.

Xiao Shan asked anxiously, "Why did you arrest Brother Bai?"

Lu Zhiling walked over, looked down at Bai Zhiyuan, and said sternly, "Tell me! Where are you from?"

Bai Zhiyuan asked in confusion: "What spy? Did Vice General Lu misunderstand?"

Lu Zhiling laughed and said, "Misunderstanding? I've been observing you these past few days. You always sneak out in the middle of the night after everyone is asleep. Don't tell me you're going to take a shower? Who would take a shower in the middle of the night?"

Bai Zhiyuan smiled bitterly, not knowing how to explain for a moment.

At this time, Zhou Yehan on the side also asked in confusion: "Deputy General, this little brother defended the general last time, he shouldn't be a spy."

Lu Zhiling said: "General Zhou, you must not trust others."

Zhou Yehan was a little confused for a moment and stopped talking.

Everyone surrounded Bai Zhiyuan, pointing and talking.

At this time, Bai Zhiyuan heard a very familiar voice. It was Cheng Beixiao. He said, "It's so lively in front, what's going on? Yunsong, let's go over and take a look."

Bai Zhiyuan watched them approaching little by little, and she became extremely panicked.

Xie Yunsong walked closer, glanced at Lu Zhiling, and asked, "What happened?"

Lu Zhiling replied: "General, I caught a spy."

Xie Yunsong looked at Bai Zhiyuan after hearing this. Her hands were tied behind her back and she looked panicked. Their eyes met inadvertently. Bai Zhiyuan lowered her head quickly while Xie Yunsong stared at her for a long time, but he couldn't see clearly at first.

Lu Zhiling said, "General, you see how guilty he is. I have been following him these days. He would slip out every day after midnight, and he is also good at fighting." He then said to Bai Zhiyuan, "Confess quickly! If you don't confess, I will drag you out and chop you into pieces!"

Xie Yunsong met those panicked eyes again, and suddenly, he thought of someone.

To say that it was shocking is no exaggeration.

The person in front of him was actually Bai Zhiyuan.

"Let go." Xie Yunsong shouted sternly.

Lu Zhiling was stunned for a moment: "What?"

"I said let go, untie her!" Xie Yunsong said impatiently.

"General, we haven't interrogated him properly yet. What if he is a spy from the Northern Di?" Lu Zhiling said anxiously.

Xie Yunsong looked at Lu Zhiling and said word by word: "This is an order! Let go!"

Lu Zhiling then reluctantly helped Bai Zhiyuan untie the ropes.

Zhang Hu standing aside had a sinister look on his face.

Xiao Shan came up quickly and said as he untied the ropes, "I told you Brother Bai isn't a spy."

Bai Zhiyuan stood there, not daring to look directly at Xie Yunsong for a moment.

Zhou Yehan then said, "Little brother, why don't you thank our general quickly?"

Bai Zhiyuan didn't dare to speak for a moment.

Cheng Beixiao, who was standing by, looked at Bai Zhiyuan for a while, then pointed at her and screamed, "You...you...you are Bai Zhiyuan, the Princess of Rong'an County?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Xie Yunsong said coldly: "That's right. Apart from her, who else would be so bold!"

Lu Zhiling suddenly realized: No wonder he always felt that this person looked familiar, he was good at martial arts, and he could sneak out in the middle of the night to take a shower.

Lu Zhiling suddenly felt embarrassed. He stuttered and explained, "County Lady, I didn't know it was you, I..."

Bai Zhiyuan said unnaturally, "It's nothing, Deputy General Lu, I was the one who kept it a secret from you in the first place."

Xiaoshan, Zhang Hu, Zhou Yehan and everyone else who usually treated Bai Zhiyuan as a brother were all stunned.

The person in front of him was actually a woman? She was the current Rong'an County Lady.

Zhang Hu was the first to react. His face turned pale and he was speechless.

Xie Yunsong laughed out of anger: "Miss Bai is so brave. She has been in my camp for so long and no one has noticed her. It seems that I am too careless. If she is really a spy, my army will be doomed."

Bai Zhiyuan didn't dare to refute and could only laugh dryly: "Thank you, General, for joking."

Xie Yunsong looked at her sharply, and Bai Zhiyuan didn't dare to look him in the eye for a moment.

Cheng Beixiao said excitedly: "Miss Bai, you are so cool. You came here with us alone disguised as a man. Why didn't you show your true face earlier?"

Bai Zhiyuan coughed twice and whispered, "Isn't it because I'm afraid that General Xie will send me back?"

Xie Yunsong sneered: "Miss Bai, you are not afraid of anything, so why would you be afraid of me?"

Bai Zhiyuan choked and said awkwardly, "It was hard for me to pretend along the way. I finally understand how difficult it was for General Xie to march. General Xie is indeed a young talent."

Xie Yunsong was unmoved. However, Cheng Beixiao beside him couldn't help laughing.

Bai Zhiyuan rolled his eyes at him, wondering if he didn't see that he was just flattering him.

Xie Yunsong suppressed his anger and said, "Tomorrow, I will send someone to send Miss Bai back to Shangjing."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhiyuan hurriedly flattered him, "No, General Xie, please don't chase me away. I want to stay here. I have been getting along very well with everyone in the past month. Please let me stay. I can do anything. I will be your maid and serve you tea and water. Please."

Xie Yunsong turned around coldly: "I don't need a maid."

Bai Zhiyuan frowned and winked at Cheng Beixiao.

Cheng Beixiao understood and rebuked, "Bai Zhiyuan, you are too brave. Do you know that you are going to war? Do you know the danger? And you followed us secretly. If Yunsong tells you to go back, then go back!"

Bai Zhiyuan lowered his head, his eyelashes trembling slightly, and he tried to suppress a smile.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Beixiao shouted, "Ms. Bai, don't cry. Oh, okay, I won't say anything to you. If you want to stay, then stay."

Xie Yunsong subconsciously looked towards her, only to see that she was lowering her head, as if she was really crying. Thinking of how such a delicate young lady had been living in the open air for more than a month and had to worry about her identity being discovered, he suddenly felt a little soft-hearted.

Xie Yunsong sighed slightly and said in a softer tone: "Forget it. You can stay if you want, but you have to listen to me. If not, I can only send you back."

Bai Zhiyuan was immediately delighted, hugged Xie Yunsong's arm and said, "Really? Thank you, General. I swear I will listen to you."

Xie Yunsong shook off her hand and asked unhappily, "Does your father know you are here?"

Bai Zhiyuan whispered, "Before I left, I wrote him a letter and told the people in the mansion to send the letter after I left. I think he should have received it by now."

Xie Yunsong said coldly: "You are very thoughtful."

Bai Zhiyuan flattered, "I just follow you because I admire your reputation."

Xie Yunsong endured it and said, "Shut up!"

Cheng Beixiao and Lu Zhiling looked amused.

Zhou Yehan finally understood and asked, "Are you the daughter of General Weiyuan?"

Bai Zhiyuan nodded and said, "I had no choice but to hide it from General Zhou before, please forgive me."

Zhou Yehan laughed loudly and said, "As expected, a tiger father will have a dog daughter. Not bad, not bad."

Xiaoshan stammered, "You are actually a woman? And the general's daughter." He suddenly remembered that they had been eating and living together for some time, and his face turned red.

Bai Zhiyuan hurriedly said: "Brother Xiaoshan, no matter who I am, whether I am a man or a woman, I am a new soldier who came with you."

Xiaoshan didn't know what to say for a moment.

Xie Yunsong turned around and told Lu Zhiling: "Set up a separate tent for Miss Bai, right next to mine, so that I can keep an eye on her."

Lu Zhiling suppressed his smile, took the order and left.

Xie Yunsong also glanced at her and walked away. Cheng Beixiao winked at her and followed Xie Yunsong.

Now the brothers in the new recruit camp gathered around and asked questions one after another. Bai Zhiyuan answered them one by one and told everyone that even though she was a woman, she was still their "Brother Bai".

Everyone chatted for a while, and it was noon in a blink of an eye. Xie Yunsong then ordered that they rest here today and set off again tomorrow.
