Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

Bai Zhiyuan got the letter and left happily. Before leaving, he said to Xie Yunsong, "General Xie, I'll be waiting for you in front of the camp. We'll set off immediately."

After receiving Xie Yunsong's instructions, Lu Zhiling also went down to count the troops and prepare for tomorrow's departure.

Only Shen Zhiyi was still standing behind Xie Yunsong.

In previous years, when Xie Yunsong went to the northern border, although there were military doctors on the way, he was responsible for his diet and medicine. Since Cheng Beixiao followed him here, Cheng Beixiao has been responsible for everything. After so long, she can hardly even start a conversation with Xie Yunsong.

She has been with Xie Yunsong for quite some time, and she has always believed that as long as she stays by his side, he will one day discover her good qualities.

Xie Yunsong was General Yunhui. On his way to the capital, many women threw themselves at him, but Xie Yunsong was not interested in women and he had never been attracted to anyone.

But since Bai Zhiyuan came, Shen Zhiyi was confused and she had some bad premonitions.

Could it be that Xie Yunsong fell in love with Bai Zhiyuan?

Shen Zhiyi couldn't imagine a life without Xie Yunsong.

For so many years, her goal was to follow Xie Yunsong. Even though he had clearly rejected her in Shangjing before, he was unwilling to let her come to the North again.

But she still came. She risked her dignity and stopped Xie Yunsong when she was leaving. She thought she knew Xie Yunsong well and knew that he would not refuse in front of so many people. So she succeeded.

But since Bai Zhiyuan revealed her identity, she has felt a sense of crisis. There were no women in the camp before, but after Bai Zhiyuan came, she got along very well with everyone and everyone liked her. Even a cold person like Xie Yunsong was often amused by her and often took her out alone.

The more Shen Zhiyi thought about it, the more scared she became. But she still tried her best to comfort herself, Bai Zhiyuan had just come of age and was still young. In addition, both of their families were military families, and the emperor would never allow two military generals with heavy troops to get married.

When Shen Zhiyi thought about this, he felt a little more relaxed.

She turned and left without saying hello to Xie Yunsong.

……

At this moment, Tianshui, who is far away at the border, is confused by his feelings, and thousands of miles away in Shangjing, King Qi Zeyi of Yan has also been in a mess recently.

That day, he rode his horse to Mount Zhongnan.

Mount Zhongnan is surrounded by mountains on all sides. Master Qingyi is proficient in the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, and he set up many formations on the way into Mount Zhongnan.

When Qi Zeyi was learning martial arts here, he also learned some Five Elements and Eight Diagrams from Master Qingyi. But today when he came in, he had a hard time.

Qi Zeyi discovered that Master Qingyi had changed the original formation into one that was even more difficult for people to approach. Even someone like him who had learned the formation found it difficult to enter.

Qi Zeyi finally broke the formation and successfully entered Zhongnan Mountain and met Master Qingyi.

Qi Zeyi suppressed his anger and said, "Master, I came here today just to ask you, do you know where Ayuan went?"

Master Qingyi glanced at him, sighed and said, "I think you already know where Ayuan is."

Qi Zeyi could no longer hold back his anger and said, "Master, you clearly knew that Ayuan had gone to the northern border. Why didn't you tell me earlier when I sent people to look for him?"

Master Qingyi said calmly, "I didn't hide it from you on purpose. I just received a letter from Song'er a few days ago and learned about Ayuan's whereabouts."

Hearing this, Qi Zeyi said coldly: "Master, I don't know what's so good about Xie Yunsong? Do you all have to have him?"

"Since I was little, my father has always praised Xie Yunsong in front of me, saying that he is a skilled martial artist, well-read, and extremely smart. He said that everything he does is good and right."

"After I started learning martial arts with you, you never mentioned Xie Yunsong, but I know that Xie Yunsong is your most proud disciple."

"And Ayuan, she was willing to break off the engagement with me and follow Xie Yunsong to the northern border."

Qi Zeyi clenched his fists so hard that his fingertips turned white, his eyes filled with deep hatred: "What kind of magic potion did Xie Yunsong feed each of you? Are you all devoted to him?"

Upon hearing this, Master Qingyi cast a deep gaze on Qi Zeyi, with a trace of disappointment in his eyes. He said, "Song'er joined the military camp when he was eight years old and suffered all kinds of hardships in the northern border. When he first came to Zhongnan Mountain, his hands were densely covered with cracks and frostbite. He spent a year in Zhongnan Mountain, learning martial arts particularly hard. He was not afraid of difficulties. He started practicing sword before dawn every day, and kept the lights on in his room at midnight every day, studying military books hard."

"Prince Yan, you only see Xie Yunsong's success, but you don't see the hard work he put in behind the scenes."

"Later, his father died in the war and his mother left home. He had nowhere to go. That day he came to Mount Zhongnan, but in order not to embarrass me, he stood outside the mountain for a whole night."

"He is indeed my most proud disciple. But you and your mother took advantage of my apology to your mother and made me drive him away. He left here and became truly homeless."

Master Qingyi looked at him steadily, "As for Ayuan, I don't know why she followed Xie Yunsong to the northern border. But Ayuan broke off the engagement with you, wasn't it because you and Muyun hurt her heart?"

Qi Zeyi paused, then he slowly turned around and smiled coldly: "Master has always been partial to Xie Yunsong and Ayuan. What am I in your eyes? Without my mother, you would never have accepted me as your disciple."

Master Qingyi shook his head and said, "Go away. I will pretend that I have never accepted you as my disciple."

Qi Zeyi's brows flashed with anger, and he said in a cold voice: "Master, once a teacher, always a father. I will ask you one last time, are you willing to join me? You know that my goal is always high, are you willing to lend me a hand?"

Master Qingyi was unmoved, he looked up and said firmly: "I don't want to! I don't want to be involved in the storm of succession, so just give up on this idea."

Qi Zeyi's lips curled up into a faint smile, but his eyes were sharp and sharp, with murderous intent in his eyes. He said coldly: "Okay, very good. You are my master, I will give you three more days to consider it. I will come back after three days and ask Master in person if he is willing."

After saying this, without waiting for Master Qingyi to say anything else, he walked out with his guards without looking back.

After Qi Zeyi left, Master Qingyi sat quietly at the table for a long time.

After a while, he picked up a pen and paper and quickly wrote two letters.

Then, he called the servant and said, "Take these two letters, one to Xie's residence in Shangjing, and one to General Yunhui in the Northern Territory by carrier pigeon."

"Also, count the people and children in the mountain and have them gather outside and wait for me for a moment."

The servant was shocked when he heard this, but he didn't dare to ask more questions. He quickly went down to deliver the letter.

After the servant left, Master Qingyi stood there thinking for a moment. He had just clearly seen the murderous intent in Qi Zeyi's eyes. He thought of Ayuan's repeated warnings to him before, and the letter he had just received from Xie Yunsong, telling him to be careful of King Yan.

Master Qingyi sensed the crisis and murderous intent.

He stood up and walked out. Outside were all the people on Mount Zhongnan, looking at him with confusion.

Master Qingyi said slowly, "There will be trouble in Zhongnan Mountain. Now everyone listen to me, all the children, I will send someone to take you to the Xie Mansion in Shangjing, which is your brother Xie's home, and you will be kept safe there."

No matter how ruthless Qi Zeyi was, he still had concerns about Xie's house, so he certainly wouldn't dare to break into Xie's house without permission. These children were naturally safe staying in Xie's house.

"As for the others, if you have plans of your own, you can leave on your own. If not, you can go to Xie's house with the children."

There were not many people in Mount Zhongnan. Apart from a few servants, the rest were maids who cooked, and the rest were orphans.

After settling everyone, Master Qingyi did not dare to delay. Although Qi Zeyi said that he would give him three days, what if he changed his mind and came back?

Master Qingyi immediately decided to let everyone leave overnight.

After sending everyone away, Master Qingyi did not sleep all night. The mountain was quiet and he stood alone in the mountain for a long time.

When he came back from his travels, he came here, accepted disciples, and adopted many orphans. Now he is leaving, and he is very reluctant to leave.

After standing for a long time, Master Qingyi turned back to his room, packed up briefly, and rode away on his horse.

He had previously written a letter to Xie Yunsong, in which he had informed him of everything that had happened in the capital. Now he was also going to the northern border, where his most beloved and valued disciple lived.

He was going to help them.
