Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

Bai Zhiyuan picked up the sword, turned around and walked down.

Someone in the audience shouted, "I really want to know who is better at swordsmanship, General Xie or Princess Rong'an."

"Yes, I heard that both of them were taught by Master Qingyi."

"I want to see General Xie and Princess Rong'an duel with swords..."

……

Fan Zhong, who hadn't walked down yet, also heard the voices of the people below.

He knelt down in front of Xie Yunsong and said loudly: "General, I was fortunate to have seen your swordsmanship at the Shangjing martial arts arena before. Today, everyone is in high spirits. Why not fulfill everyone's wishes and invite you to have a sparring match with Rong'an County Lady, so that everyone can broaden their horizons."

Everyone's eyes fell on Xie Yunsong.

Cheng Tiankuo and Zhou Yehan, who were sitting next to him, also wanted to witness the competition with their own eyes after hearing what he said, but they did not dare to mention it. Now that Fan Zhong mentioned it, they both turned their expectant eyes to Xie Yunsong.

Cheng Beixiao cheered beside him, "Great, Yunsong, I haven't seen you two fighting with swords yet. This is a good opportunity for everyone to see who is more skilled. Xie Yunsong, you are not afraid of losing to a woman, are you?"

Cheng Tiankuo and Zhou Yehan's faces turned black after hearing this. Only Cheng Beixiao would dare to say such a thing.

Xie Yunsong looked indifferent and ignored his words.

After a moment, he set his eyes on Bai Zhiyuan standing on the high platform.

Bai Zhiyuan was just about to leave the martial arts arena when he heard everyone's discussion.

Compete with Xie Yunsong?

This was something she had never thought of. She suddenly remembered that many years ago, she went to visit Xie's house. At that time, Xie Yunsong was about ten years old. At that time, she heard that he had been to the battlefield with his father. That day, he was practicing sword in Xie's house. At that time, Bai Zhiyuan was just a child who had just got his own sword. Seeing this, he drew his sword and competed with Xie Yunsong.

But that time, Xie Yunsong obviously gave in to him because he was younger, and did not use his full strength. In the end, he was punished by Xie Yu to kneel down.

That was the first time they met. In the years that followed, although both of them were disciples of Master Qingyi, they never had such an opportunity to duel with each other again.

Bai Zhiyuan thought again of Xie Yunsong, who was as dazzling as a star and full of vigor at the martial arts arena in Shangjing. He left that day without disturbing anyone. It was from that time that he began to think about going to the northern border.

Xie Yunsong looked at Bai Zhiyuan from a distance and saw her eyes moving several times, wondering what she was thinking.

Bai Zhiyuan pulled himself back to his senses and listened to the noises of the crowd below, and his heart couldn't help but be moved.

She looked at Xie Yunsong, and Xie Yunsong also looked at her.

With just one glance, she understood that Xie Yunsong had no aversion to competing with her.

Thinking of this, Bai Zhiyuan walked back to the center of the training ground.

She stood still holding a sword, her clothes fluttering, her long hair like a waterfall, her eyes clear, and she was so beautiful that one could not take their eyes away.

Xie Yunsong on the high platform stared at her quietly, with a gleam of light and tenderness between his brows.

After a moment, Bai Zhiyuan opened her red lips and said, "General Xie, since everyone wants you and I to compete, why not ask General Xie for some advice today?"

Xie Yunsong's cold eyes were filled with gentle waves, and he smiled clearly as he said, "Okay."

He stood up and walked towards Bai Zhiyuan step by step from the platform.

Bai Zhiyuan's heart skipped a beat.

A familiar dark blue figure, a young general stood in front of her, with an upright posture and bright eyes. The long sword in his hand was not unsheathed, and his calmness made people feel at ease.

Bai Zhiyuan slowly drew out his sword and said with a bright smile, "Thank you, General. Please."

Xie Yunsong smiled back at her: "Miss Bai, please go first."

The people below stared at the two people on the stage intently.

Shen Zhiyi stood in the crowd, looking at the two dazzling people on the stage, feeling boundless bitterness in his heart.

Bai Zhiyuan was the first to draw her sword. Her sword light was like water, dancing in a graceful arc.

Xie Yunsong also drew his sword, the sword flashed brightly and was as agile as a swimming dragon.

One of them held the Baihong Sword and the other held the Qingshuang Sword. The two swords instantly entangled with each other, making a sound of golden collision.

One was blue, the other was white, their swords crossed, the sword energy swept the sand on the ground around them everywhere. It was clearly a sword fight, but the two of them were as moving as dancing.

Bai Zhiyuan's swordsmanship became faster and faster, and his figure changed unpredictably like the wind, making it hard to keep up with the show.

Xie Yunsong's swordsmanship is flexible, each move is exquisite and flawless.

The sword techniques of the two are somewhat similar, probably because they learned from the same master, but they are also somewhat different due to the difference in strength between men and women.

There was quite a commotion around.

The fencing duel between Xie Yunsong and Bai Zhiyuan was already quite unexpected.

Bai Zhiyuan actually fought so many moves against Xie Yunsong and still did not lose. Seeing this, everyone could not help but look at the Rong'an County Lady with even greater respect.

The sword lights on the stage were still flashing, and the audience was dazzled by the moves. Both sides were very skilled in swordsmanship, and it was difficult to tell the winner for a while.

Someone in the crowd questioned, "Is it General Yunhui who is giving in to Princess Rong'an? After all, she is a woman."

Give in? Those who understand swordsmanship can naturally see that Xie Yunsong did not give Bai Zhiyuan a point. Instead, out of respect for his opponent, both of them used their best efforts.

On the stands, Xie Yunsong suddenly soared into the air, spun around in the air, and swung his sword. Bai Zhiyuan swung his sword with ease, and the man quickly attacked the other with his sword. The woman raised her sword to block, but there was a difference in strength between men and women, and she was knocked back a few steps by the man's sword energy.

The sword in Xie Yunsong's hand did not stop, and a stream of light appeared. Bai Zhiyuan dodged sideways and unknowingly reached the edge of the platform in the martial arts field. She slipped and fell down, and the screams of the crowd rang in her ears.

Suddenly, a pair of big hands hooked her waist and pulled her into his arms. Bai Zhiyuan immediately threw herself into his arms and subconsciously wrapped her arms around his waist.

Bai Zhiyuan raised his eyes and met Xie Yunsong's smiling eyes. Time seemed to stand still.

After a while, cheers came from below.

Bai Zhiyuan finally came back to her senses and let go of Xie Yunsong. She quickly lowered her head, unable to hide the throbbing in her heart.

After a moment, she looked up again and looked at him with a smile, "Thank you, General, you win."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yunsong's face was filled with a faint smile, and his eyes were filled with unconcealed admiration and an ambiguous light.

He put away his sword, his brows moved slightly, and a clear smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"General Yunhui is so powerful!"

"As expected of General Yunhui"

"General Yunhui and Princess Rong'an are such a good match."

……

Everyone was so immersed in the competition that just happened that they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

Cheng Tiankuo and Zhou Yehan came over. Both of them were veteran soldiers. They looked at Bai Zhiyuan with admiration and said,

"I didn't expect that Princess Rong'an's swordsmanship is so exquisite."

Bai Zhiyuan smiled and said, "You two generals are too kind. In terms of swordsmanship, I am still not as good as your General Xie."

Zhou Yehan laughed and said, "Of course my general is great, but it's rare for a woman like Rong'an County Master to have such attainments in martial arts."

Cheng Tiankuo said: "That's right, General Weiyuan taught his daughter well."

Cheng Beixiao also said: "Today is really wonderful."

Bai Zhiyuan was almost losing himself in the praises.

After everyone left, Qin Jinan stepped forward and said shyly, "County Lady, I didn't know your swordsmanship was so powerful. Yesterday, I overestimated my own abilities and wanted to fight for you..."

Bai Zhiyuan interrupted him and said, "I have told you so many times, just call me Ayuan. Master Qin, if you practice sword skills well, you will surely be able to fight on the battlefield like General Xie."

The young man in front of him whispered, "Isn't it okay to be like you?"

Bai Zhiyuan didn't hear clearly what he said because she saw Shen Zhiyi with a bad look on his face. When she was about to step forward to ask, Shen Zhiyi had already walked away.

Bai Zhiyuan shrugged and walked towards his tent.
