Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

The mountain road was long and we didn’t realize it was already getting dark.

Because the five of them were walking on a mountain road, there were no restaurants or inns on the mountain. On weekdays, Tianlin and Tianxun followed Xie Yunsong and often slept in the open air, so they didn't have to be so particular. But today, they were following the Rong'an County Lady, who was a woman after all, and Cheng Beixiao, a pampered and elegant young man from the capital, so they stayed in a farmer's house.

Fortunately, the farmer's family was also hospitable. Not only did they warmly entertain the five of them, they also cooked a lot of wine and food.

Since they had to travel early the next morning, Xie Yunsong was not suitable to drink. Since the master did not drink, Tianlin and Tianxun naturally did not dare to drink, for fear of delaying the departure the next day. Cheng Beixiao, on the other hand, had not been out for a long time and was in a very good mood. In addition, the sweet wine brewed by the farmers was very tempting, so he drank a few more glasses unconsciously.

Bai Zhiyuan couldn't help but remind him, "Mr. Cheng, why did you drink so much? Don't let it affect our journey tomorrow morning."

Cheng Beixiao smiled and said, "Don't worry. My alcohol tolerance is one of the best in Shangjing City. How can I get drunk?"

Xie Yunsong looked at him with disdain.

Seeing his disdain, Cheng Beixiao said unhappily, "Why? I am not as good as you in other aspects, but I am afraid you can't beat me in drinking. If you don't believe me, let's have a competition today."

Xie Yunsong ignored him. Cheng Beixiao knew he was boring, so he stopped talking and just drank by himself.

Cheng Beixiao paused for a moment, and said unconvincedly: "I have known Xie Yunsong for so many years, and I have never seen him drink. Xie Yunsong, you can't be a person who doesn't know how to drink at all? If one day, you get married, what will you do? You won't let my sister Bai entertain the guests then, right?"

Facing Cheng Beixiao's provocation, Xie Yunsong remained unmoved. Bai Zhiyuan laughed, thinking that Cheng Beixiao's provocation would be useless to Xie Yunsong.

Cheng Beixiao didn't get a response from Xie Yunsong, so he turned to Bai Zhiyuan and said, "Since Xie Yunsong doesn't want to drink with me, then come and drink a couple of glasses with me, Sister Bai. If you two really get married one day, you can't just not drink at all? You have to drink a glass of this wedding wine, right?"

What is this person talking about? However, Bai Zhiyuan is not the kind of person who is shy. Hearing this, he said, "Forget it. It seems that Master Cheng is in a good mood today. However, I can't drink much, so I can only drink a few glasses with you."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Beixiao hurriedly filled a glass of wine for Bai Zhiyuan. Seeing this, Xie Yunsong was about to stop him, but Bai Zhiyuan was quick and had already drunk the glass of wine.

The wine brewed by farmers is sweet plum wine, which tastes sweet and refreshing but has a strong aftertaste.

Cheng Beixiao's eyes showed satisfaction, and he poured a few more glasses for Bai Zhiyuan. Xie Yunsong frowned and was about to speak, but he saw that Bai Zhiyuan seemed quite interested. Forget it. After receiving the letter from Nanjing, he knew that Bai Zhiyuan was worried. Although she didn't say it, she kept it in her heart. It was rare for Cheng Beixiao to accompany her today, so let her drink a few more glasses, even if it was just to temporarily forget these troubles.

Thinking this way, he no longer tried to stop Bai Zhiyuan.

After a few drinks, Bai Zhiyuan's cheeks turned pink. He supported his face with one hand, his eyes were a little blurry and he looked drowsy.

The enthusiastic farmer's host had a meal until late at night, and they dispersed because they had to travel the next day. The farmer arranged a room for several people to rest. Although it was a small farmyard, it was clean and comfortable.

Tianlin and Tianxun lived in the same room. Bai Zhiyuan was a girl, so she naturally got a separate room. Cheng Beixiao was forced to live with Xie Yunsong. He was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to say it in front of Xie Yunsong, so he could only leave with a wave of his sleeves.

When everyone left, Bai Zhiyuan propped his chin with his hands and squinted his eyes at the small courtyard in front of him. It was New Year's Day a few days ago, and it had just snowed. The snow-white garden was still blooming with red plum blossoms. The owner of this farmer's household was a man who knew how to live, and he created this beautiful scenery.

Xie Yunsong sat beside her, looking at her quietly, his eyes full of tenderness.

After a long time, the aftereffects of the sweet wine took effect and Bai Zhiyuan's eyes became more and more blurred. She stood up and staggered towards the room, but she stumbled and almost fell.

With the help of the hazy moonlight, a pair of strong hands lifted her up. Bai Zhiyuan put her arms around his waist and leaned all her strength on him.

Xie Yunsong curled his lips helplessly, helped Bai Zhiyuan into the house, comforted her on the couch, and was about to leave. Who knew that Bai Zhiyuan was not content, she stood up again, and this time fell to the ground.

Xie Yunsong looked at her leisurely. Bai Zhiyuan felt dizzy and barely stood up with the help of the bed. She asked, "Qi Zeyi, why did you do this to me?"

In the silent night, these words were particularly clear.

Xie Yunsong's eyes gradually turned cold, and he felt as if a fire was burning in his chest, burning his heart and causing some pain.

All those things that he couldn't figure out seemed to have answers at this moment. No wonder she had been targeting Qi Zeyi since he met Bai Zhiyuan. Could it be that love turned into hate? But if she really loved the King of Yan, why did she insist on breaking off the engagement?

Xie Yunsong suddenly felt that Bai Zhiyuan had a huge secret, which confused him. The affection between the two of them before was not fake, but why would she say such a thing today?

Bai Zhiyuan still looked at him with her eyes open. Her eyes were as clear as ever, but today they were a little drunk.

Xie Yunsong stared at the woman in front of him, as if he wanted to see through her, but he found that he couldn't see through her. His eyes moved slightly, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

Bai Zhiyuan still blinked her big eyes and looked at him, as if she was determined to get an answer from him. Perhaps because there was no response for a long time, she smiled bitterly and said, "I know that you have always used me."

Xie Yunsong's body stiffened, and a slight surprise flashed in his eyes. Before Xie Yunsong could think clearly, he heard Bai Zhiyuan said bitterly: "It doesn't matter, I won't let you get your wish this time."

Xie Yunsong was stunned again. Why did he feel more and more that Bai Zhiyuan was unable to get the love she wanted and hated Qi Zeyi? But when she mentioned King Yan on weekdays, her disgust was self-evident. Could it be that something unknown had happened between them in Zhongnan Mountain?

Thinking of this, Xie Yunsong took a step forward and stood in front of her. There were dark emotions in his beautiful eyes. He slowly asked, "Do you know who I am?" There seemed to be a hint of displeasure in his voice.

Bai Zhiyuan blinked and didn't answer for a long time. He looked at him steadily, then suddenly smiled and said, "I know, you are Xie Yunsong."

Xie Yunsong was a little confused. He didn't know whether Bai Zhiyuan was drunk or not. As the saying goes, truth comes out when drunk. So which one was the real her?

Xie Yunsong stared at her and asked again: "Who is Xie Yunsong?"

Bai Zhiyuan thought for a moment and said firmly, "It's the person I like."

Xie Yunsong was stunned for a moment, then chuckled. The coldness in his eyes disappeared instantly, replaced by satisfaction and joy. He saw that Bai Zhiyuan didn't seem to be pretending to be drunk, so he helped Bai Zhiyuan sit on the couch, raised his eyebrows and said, "If you say so, I won't bother with you about your slip of the tongue just now."

Bai Zhiyuan was drunk and confused at the moment, and really didn't know that she had just made Xie Yunsong irritated and angry, but one sentence made him happy again.

At this time, Bai Zhiyuan muttered, "It's so cold."

Xie Yunsong sighed, took off his cloak, and wrapped Bai Zhiyuan tightly. Bai Zhiyuan was left with only his head exposed, and she chuckled.

Xie Yunsong was puzzled and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Bai Zhiyuan stood up suddenly, stood on tiptoe, and covered Xie Yunsong's lips with his cold lips, with a mouth full of the taste of sweet wine.

Xie Yunsong was stunned for a moment, a smile appeared in his eyes, and just as he was about to deepen the kiss, Bai Zhiyuan let go of his hand and pouted, "It would have been nice if it was you in my previous life."
