Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

After a long while, Bai Zhiyuan took a bath and regained some of her sanity. She went out and prepared to find Xie Yunsong to admit her mistake.

Today she disobeyed orders, left the camp without permission and went to the battlefield, so she deserved to be punished.

Xie Yunsong was not in the tent. Bai Zhiyuan followed the tents to look for him. He passed by many tents where some soldiers were slightly injured. The seriously injured were all left in Yancheng, and those who died had already been burned to ashes, as if they had never come to this world.

Cheng Beixiao was treating the wounded, and Xie Yunsong was personally comforting the soldiers. Someone saw Bai Zhiyuan. Bai Zhiyuan walked in slowly, met Xie Yunsong's scrutinizing eyes and said, "General Xie, I was reckless today, and I am willing to be punished."

Xie Yunsong's eyes flashed with pity. After a moment of silence, he said, "Today you disregarded military orders and entered the battlefield without authorization. According to military regulations, you should be punished with twenty military sticks."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Beixiao said anxiously, "Twenty military sticks, even a strong man may not be able to withstand it, let alone a weak woman like Miss Bai."

"Weak woman?" Xie Yunsong said with a mocking tone: "Didn't you see Miss Bai chop off the head of the Beidi man with one knife today?"

"But..." Cheng Beixiao wanted to say something.

"That's enough. Twenty military sticks. Everyone in the army must be treated equally." Xie Yunsong said coldly.

Bai Zhiyuan nodded and said, "I accept."

At this time, Qin Jinan, who was slightly injured, walked in. Hearing this, he knelt down and said, "General, I am willing to take the punishment for the county lord. I beg you to grant me this."

Bai Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "Mr. Qin, no need. It was my fault today, and I deserve to be punished."

Qin Jinan said stubbornly: "Twenty military sticks is not something a woman should bear. I am willing to share the burden for you."

Bai Zhiyuan was speechless for a moment, but he saw that the air around Xie Yunsong suddenly turned cold. He looked at the two of them coldly and said coldly: "Since you want to help, then I will help you. But she can't be free of punishment, so I will punish you two with ten military sticks each."

Qin Jinan was delighted and said hurriedly, "Thank you, General."

Xie Yunsong no longer looked at the two of them and strode out.

Cheng Beixiao finished bandaging the wounded soldier and hurriedly followed.

Bai Zhiyuan said to Qin Jinan, "Mr. Qin, why bother?"

Qin Jinan smiled and said, "I am willing to do this, don't worry."

Afterwards, the soldiers took Bai Zhiyuan and Qin Jinan away to be punished.

Bai Zhiyuan was lying on the bench, and the military stick hit her again and again, but she seemed to have no reaction at all, just staring blankly, not knowing what she was thinking.

Qin Jinan, who was also punished, couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

The sound of the military stick hitting him again and again reached Xie Yunsong's ears in the tent. He listened to the sound of punishment outside, and felt annoyed. The pen in his hand was a little unsteady, and it broke into two pieces with a "snap".

Cheng Beixiao said anxiously, "Xie Yunsong, how can a man like you be so fussy with a woman? If someone is hit with a military stick, he will be unable to get out of bed for ten days or half a month. You are really cruel."

Xie Yunsong glanced at him calmly and said, "Shut up!"

The punishment outside was still going on, and Xie Yunsong felt distressed. He tried his best to suppress the urge to go out and call for a stop.

Cheng Beixiao on the side kept chattering: "You are so cruel to your own woman, Xie Yunsong deserves to die alone."

Xie Yunsong glanced at him sharply.

Finally, the noise outside stopped.

Cheng Beixiao had already left the tent to check on Bai Zhiyuan's injuries.

At this time, a soldier knocked on Xie Yunsong's tent door.

Xie Yunsong: "Come in!"

The soldier said, "General, the caning of Princess Rong'an and Qin Jin'an has ended."

Xie Yunsong asked: "Is Princess Rong'an okay?"

The soldier was stunned for a moment, then said, "The county lady is indeed a heroine. She didn't say a word. She was a little unsteady when she stood up. It was Doctor Cheng who brought her back to the tent."

"I understand. You go down first!" Xie Yunsong said.

Seeing that General Yun Hui had a bad look on his face, the soldier did not dare to stay any longer and quickly left.

Xie Yunsong no longer had the heart to read. He walked back and forth in the tent, opened his tent door several times, took a look at the tightly closed door next door, and then backed away.

Tianxun was anxious watching from the side. His young master was good at everything except coaxing women. Today, he even beat his woman. The Rong'an County Lady hated her young master so much that Steward Lin must be sad.

Tianxun felt anxious when he saw his young master's hesitation.

After a long while, Tianxun managed to say, "Master, why don't you go see Princess Rong'an?"

Hearing this, Xie Yunsong stared at him and asked, "Do you also think I went too far today?"

Tianxun lowered his head and said hurriedly, "I dare not."

Then Tianxun said carefully: "Master, it is wrong for the county lady to leave the camp on her own, but she has made contributions on the battlefield today. Not only did she injure Yu Huangqing, she also saved many soldiers. Moreover, it was her first time seeing the tragic situation on the battlefield. She was completely stunned. After returning, she was punished with ten military sticks. It was indeed a bit miserable..."

Xie Yunsong said coldly: "I don't know when you spoke for her like this."

Tianxun was shocked when he heard this, and knelt down hurriedly, saying, "I dare not. But the county lady is the young master's favorite woman, even if she is half of Tianxun's master, Tianxun can't bear it..."

"Forget it." Xie Yunsong interrupted him: "Go out first, leave me alone for a while."

Tian Xun took the order and went out, looking back every few steps. Seeing that his young master was still as cold as usual, he didn't know whether the young master had listened to his words.

Tianxun sighed secretly. He had said everything he needed to say. It all depended on what the young master thought. It would be great if Tianlin was here. Although that kid was usually taciturn, he had many ideas.

After a long time, Xie Yunsong walked out of the tent, and Tianxun, who was guarding the door, was delighted.

Sure enough, Xie Yunsong walked straight to Bai Zhiyuan's tent.

He knocked gently on the door, but no one answered.

"What are you doing here?" Cheng Beixiao asked unhappily. He had just gone to get some medicine to bring to Bai Zhiyuan, and when he walked to the tent, he saw Xie Yunsong knocking on the door.

Xie Yunsong glanced at him and asked, "How is her injury?"

Cheng Beixiao: "She is a woman, I am a man, her injuries are all in her private parts, I can't check for her. There are no women in this tent, and now there is no one to apply medicine to her."

Xie Yunsong frowned, pursed his lips, and said nothing.

The two walked into Bai Zhiyuan's tent. Bai Zhiyuan had already fallen asleep. Perhaps because of her wound, she slept on her stomach. Her dreams were extremely uneasy and she was shaking in her sleep.

Xie Yunsong walked over, held her hand, and gently smoothed her frown.

Cheng Beixiao walked up to Bai Zhiyuan and touched his head, startled, "Why is it so hot?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Yunsong also touched her forehead, which was indeed a little hot.

Xie Yunsong said angrily: "As a doctor, how did you take care of her? How come you didn't even know that she got burned like this?"

Cheng Beixiao said innocently: "You blame me now? If you hadn't hit her with ten military sticks, would she have had a fever?"

Xie Yunsong glanced at Cheng Beixiao coldly, gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't you go and make some medicine for her quickly? If the fever continues like this, her body will definitely not be able to bear it."

Cheng Beixiao turned around and walked out angrily.

Xie Yunsong's hand was still on Bai Zhiyuan's forehead. Perhaps because Xie Yunsong's hand was cold, Bai Zhiyuan felt a little chill in his sleep and rubbed his head against his hand.

Bai Zhiyuan was so dizzy from fever that he said, "Father...Father...please don't abandon me..."

"Qi Zeyi...don't..."

Xie Yunsong held her hand and listened to her talking in her sleep. He felt a little strange for a moment. Why was her dream so uneasy? She even kept talking about Qi Zeyi.

Logically speaking, since she and Qi Zeyi have broken off their engagement, they should have no connection with each other anymore.

"It hurts, it hurts so much... I can't see anymore..."

Bai Zhiyuan was still speaking intermittently.

Xie Yunsong didn't understand and could only hold her hand tightly.

After a moment, he gently touched her head and said softly, "Ayuan, don't be afraid."

After a while, Cheng Beixiao finally brought the boiled medicine.

Xie Yunsong personally fed Bai Zhiyuan the medicine, and Bai Zhiyuan finally stopped talking in his sleep and fell into a deep sleep.

Xie Yunsong did not return to his tent. He sat by Bai Zhiyuan's bed and guarded her all night.
