Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

For several days, nothing happened and everything was calm.

There was no movement in the northern border. Tianlin had been keeping an eye on Qin Jinan for the past few days, but he did not find anything unusual.

It has been ten days since Xie Yunsong left, and there has been no news from him.

Bai Zhiyuan was feeling irritated and sighed while having lunch with Master Qingyi in the morning.

Master Qingyi smiled and asked, "Ayuan, what's wrong with you?"

Bai Zhiyuan said weakly, "It's okay, Master."

Master Qingyi smiled and said, "Master, I think you are thinking about Song'er."

Bai Zhiyuan blushed and said, "No."

Upon hearing this, Master Qingyi stopped mocking her and asked, "Is there no news from Song'er?"

Bai Zhiyuan: "No. Yancheng is not far from here. Could something have happened?"

Master Qingyi shook his head and said, "Probably not. Song'er always knows how to act in moderation."

Bai Zhiyuan nodded, then pushed the bad premonition out of his mind.

For some reason, I felt like something was going to happen these past few days, and I felt uneasy.

That night, Bai Zhiyuan had nothing to do, so he practiced archery in the martial arts field.

Bai Zhiyuan is an excellent swordsman, but her archery skills are average. She secretly came here to practice while Xie Yunsong was away. She thought he would be happy when he came back and saw her progress.

She walked to the bow and arrow and was about to pick it up to practice when she heard some noise near the stable. She looked up, but it was too dark and she couldn't see anything.

Bai Zhiyuan thought about it, walked over quietly, but saw nothing.

Did she hear wrongly?

Bai Zhiyuan walked towards the camp again. In front of him was the kitchen and food supply area of ​​the Northern Army.

As soon as Bai Zhiyuan walked into the kitchen, he ran into someone who came out. That person was Qin Jinan.

Bai Zhiyuan asked in confusion: "Mr. Qin, what are you doing in the kitchen so late?"

Qin Jinan was startled and said hurriedly, "I couldn't sleep at night and I was a little hungry. I wanted to find something to eat." Then he took out two steamed buns from his arms.

Bai Zhiyuan looked at him for a moment, but couldn't see anything from his face.

Qin Jinan lowered his head and said to Bai Zhiyuan: "Ayuan, I'm sorry for that day."

Bai Zhiyuan naturally knew what he was talking about, and stopped talking after hearing that.

After a long while, Qin Jinan sighed and said, "I know you won't forgive me, Ayuan."

Bai Zhiyuan was silent for a while and said, "Mr. Qin, if there is nothing else, I will go back first."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

When they reached a deserted place, Bai Zhiyuan asked Tianlin, "How is it? Did you find anything?"

Tianlin shook his head.

Bai Zhiyuan felt more and more uneasy.

She asked, "Is there any news about General Xie?"

Tianlin said: "No."

Bai Zhiyuan was a little disappointed. After standing in the camp for a while, he returned to the tent and walked to Xie Yunsong's tent, missing him even more.

Early the next morning, Bai Zhiyuan accompanied Master Qingyi for breakfast.

Bai Zhiyuan served a bowl of porridge to Master Qingyi. The army was short of supplies and had been eating thin porridge all year round.

Master Qingyi just picked up the bowl and smelled it.

Seeing Bai Zhiyuan putting food into her mouth, he hurriedly stopped her.

Bai Zhiyuan was a little confused: "What's wrong, Master?"

Master Qingyi smelled the porridge again and said, "This porridge is not right."

Bai Zhiyuan was shocked and said, "Tian Lin!"

Tianlin turned around and went out to catch a wild cat and fed it the porridge. Sure enough, after just a few moments, the wild cat fell asleep.

"Master..."

Master Qingyi said, "I don't know if only you and I have poison in our porridge, or if everyone's porridge has been poisoned."

Bai Zhiyuan suddenly remembered Qin Jinan, whom he met at the kitchen door last night.

His abnormal behavior in the past few days made Bai Zhiyuan doubt him.

Bai Zhiyuan thought for a moment and said, "Tianlin, go and keep an eye on Qin Jinan yourself. Also, invite Doctor Cheng over."

Tianlin: "County Lady, when the young master left, he asked me to follow you closely."

Bai Zhiyuan: "Don't worry, I won't go anywhere."

Tianlin wanted to say something, but seeing Bai Zhiyuan's serious face, he quickly stepped back and brought Cheng Beixiao over.

"Mr. Cheng, look, this porridge seems to have been drugged."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Beixiao also became serious. He picked up the porridge, smelled it, and the next moment, his face changed drastically.

"There's a hallucinogenic drug in this porridge. Who is it?"

Bai Zhiyuan shook her head and said, "Master Cheng, Xie Yunsong has not been here these days. I am worried that someone will take advantage of his absence to cause trouble."

Cheng Beixiao put away his usual carefree look and said, "What can I do?"

"Preparing medicine!"

"Prescribing medicine?"

Bai Zhiyuan: "I'm worried that someone has already drunk the poisoned porridge. Master Cheng, please prepare the antidote as soon as possible. If I'm not mistaken, they will definitely take action tonight. If there is an antidote, let everyone drink it, and we can catch the turtle in the jar..."

Cheng Beixiao admired and said, "Not bad. Miss Bai is worthy of you. I will go and prepare the medicine and try to put it in the water before night so that everyone can drink it."

Master Qingyi nodded and said, "That's right, I'll help Master Cheng prepare the medicine. Ah Yuan, be careful!"

Bai Zhiyuan said: "Don't worry, Master."

After Bai Zhiyuan arranged everything, she still felt a little worried. She always felt uneasy when Xie Yunsong was not around.

Bai Zhiyuan thought about it and then went to investigate the camp himself.

As she walked, she thought that the most important thing for an army was food and grass. If she were a Northern Di person, she would definitely find ways to burn the food and grass. Without food and grass, even the best army would be unable to move forward.

Bai Zhiyuan stopped suddenly. Yes, food and fodder!

Thinking of this, she quickly ran towards the place where the food and grass were stored.

She looked carefully around the warehouse where the grain was stored and found nothing unusual.

Could it be that she thought wrong?

What exactly was the Northern Di people planning? When did Qin Jinan turn against the Northern Di people? Bai Zhiyuan had no idea.

She found a corner in the granary and sat down, thinking carefully.

Perhaps it was when Qin Jinan returned to Yuehua Town that day that he encountered the Northern Di people. However, he should have been influenced by the Northern Di people since he was a child, so why was he bribed by the Northern Di people in the end?

Bai Zhiyuan couldn't figure out the reason and fell into self-doubt. Maybe everything was just his imagination?

When she left the granary, she smelled a slight odor of alcohol, which could easily be overlooked if one was not careful.

The North was short of supplies, and wine was a rare commodity. Bai Zhiyuan went around to the back of the granary and indeed found traces of spilled wine on the ground.

It snowed a few days ago, and now is the time when the snow is melting, so Bai Zhiyuan didn't find anything unusual when she came just now. The wine on the ground and the melted snow water were mixed together, and almost fooled her.

It seems that what she thought was right, there was a spy in the Northern Army.

There was a lot of food and grass, and if it was moved, it would inevitably alert the enemy. Bai Zhiyuan thought hard and finally decided to move some of the food and grass first, and leave the rest alone. She ordered Tianlin to take people to bury the wine spilled around the granary with soil. This way, if a fire started, it would not be out of control.

After doing all this, Bai Zhiyuan and his master arranged the troops and battle formations, waiting for the arrival of the Northern Di people.

By the time all these were arranged, it was already dark.

Now the Northern Border Army is mixed with Northern Di people, but Xie Yunsong is not in the Northern Border. He took most of the troops with him when he went to Yancheng. The remaining tens of thousands of recruits have no combat experience. If the Northern Di people want to take advantage of this opportunity, I am afraid that the Northern Border Army will be wiped out.

Bai Zhiyuan had asked Tianlin to send a pigeon to Xie Yunsong. It would take at least half a day to get from Yancheng to here. But if the Beidi people wanted to lure Xie Yunsong away, would the message she delivered be able to reach Xie Yunsong smoothly?

Bai Zhiyuan stood in front of the tent, feeling confused for the first time since her rebirth. She didn't know if there was anything wrong with her deployment. The lives of so many Northern Army soldiers were in her hands, and she couldn't make any mistakes.

She thought, if Xie Yunsong was here, it would be great. It turned out that it was not easy to become a general commanding troops, and Xie Yunsong had not had an easy life these years.

Bai Zhiyuan stood in front of the tent, looking into the distance, thinking constantly in his mind. He had done everything he could, and only waited for tonight.

Just as she turned around and was about to return to the tent, Qin Jinan appeared.

Bai Zhiyuan stared at him blankly and didn't say anything at first.

Qin Jinan stepped forward and said, "Ayuan..."

Bai Zhiyuan asked, "Mr. Qin, did you encounter any problems when you returned to Yuehua Town?"

Qin Jinan was stunned and didn't understand what she meant by this, but he always felt that Bai Zhiyuan had discovered something. He tried his best to maintain his composure, fearing that Bai Zhiyuan would see through him.

Bai Zhiyuan took in his expression. She was always good at guessing people's minds. If she had only suspected before, now she was almost certain that the incident was related to the boy in front of her. But since when did the innocent boy become so scheming, even willing to sacrifice the lives of so many Northern Border soldiers?

Bai Zhiyuan sighed, it is true that human hearts have always been the most unpredictable.

Qin Jinan still showed a gentle smile and said: "No, why would Ayuan ask that?"

Bai Zhiyuan smiled and said nothing more. After a moment, she said softly, "Mr. Qin, whether we are human beings or in our work, we must be true to ourselves."

Qin Jinan didn't understand what was going on, but he was still shocked. When he was about to ask for clarification, Bai Zhiyuan had already turned around and walked into the tent.

Qin Jinan stood there for a moment, his heart was full of confusion, but after a moment he gradually became clear-headed. After tonight, Bai Zhiyuan would truly belong to him. He had done nothing wrong.
