Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

It was midwinter and heavy snow fell again. Although it was freezing cold, the scenery along the way was really nice.

Bai Zhiyuan left Yuehua Town and headed towards Shangjing.

She couldn't dwell on her sorrow any longer. She had to go back to Shangjing. She still had a lot to do. The fight for the throne was getting more intense. She had to go back.

The road was slippery due to the snow, and she couldn't ride fast even on a horse, so she just walked slowly.

Tianxun, who came to look for her, finally found her trace in Yuehua Town after many twists and turns.

Knowing that she had gone to Qin's house and left Yuehua Town, Tianxun didn't have time to think about it and hurriedly took people to continue tracking her.

Finally, Tianxun found Bai Zhiyuan's trail on the official road not far from Youzhou. It was only because of the heavy snow today that made it difficult for Bai Zhiyuan to ride fast that Tianxun was able to find her.

Tianxun didn't dare to go forward rashly. If Bai Zhiyuan found him coming, he would definitely drive him away, or sneak away himself.

Tianxun had been following Xie Yunsong for a long time, and he knew a thing or two about Bai Zhiyuan. So, he sent a letter to Xie Yunsong by carrier pigeon, informing him of the situation, and decided to follow Bai Zhiyuan secretly.

The snow is getting heavier and there is no sign of stopping.

Bai Zhiyuan stopped at an inn.

She looked at the heavy snow in front of her, and her desire to return to Beijing became more and more urgent. She had been away for more than a year, and as the New Year was approaching, she was afraid that she would not be able to make it back. She didn't know if everything was fine in Beijing, and if everything was fine at home.

Bai Zhiyuan stayed at the post station for a while, then thought for a moment, and then rode forward along the official road. There was a forest in front of him, but it was the cold winter and the trees had withered.

When Bai Zhiyuan left the northern border, she went to Wanxiang Mountain and dug out her master's ashes. She had promised her master that she would take him back to Zhongnan Mountain. This time when she left, she would definitely take her master with her.

That day, she left the North Border Camp and went to Wanxiang Mountain. For a long time, she had no one to confide her sorrow and pain to, so she knelt in front of her master's grave and cried silently.

When she was finally tired, she dug out her master's ashes. She wanted to take her master home personally.

Just as she continued on her way despite the wind and snow, she passed deep into the woods and accidentally heard a woman's scream.

At first she didn't care. It was the coldest time of the year and there were few people here.

But the further she went in, the clearer the sound became. She was a martial artist and her hearing was extraordinary.

She stopped her horse and indeed heard the woman's screams, the man's shouts, and even the rustling sound of footsteps.

She didn't want to meddle in other people's business, as it sounded like there were quite a few people on the other side. She was alone now, so it was not appropriate for her to get into conflict with them easily.

But when she got closer, she saw several men tying up a woman and trying to do something indecent to her. Not far away, there seemed to be the woman's husband, who had been beaten beyond recognition but still wanted to crawl over to rescue his wife.

This group of people are so bold in broad daylight.

Bai Zhiyuan could no longer bear it, so he drew his sword, jumped off his horse, and shouted, "How dare you! Who are you? How dare you rob a decent woman like this?"

The leading man turned around, and his eyes widened when he saw Bai Zhiyuan.

Bai Zhiyuan did not dress like a man this time, but dressed like a woman. The man saw Bai Zhiyuan, looked her up and down, and said, "Little beauty, don't meddle in other people's business. If you want to play with the brothers, then come on. Such a beautiful woman is more beautiful than the young lady on the ground. Hahaha..."

Bai Zhiyuan laughed sarcastically and said, "That depends on whether you have the ability to do it."

The man smiled obscenely and said, "She has personality, I like her. Come, take her down for me, and I will reward you after I am done with her."

Bai Zhiyuan smiled contemptuously, and the man's men rushed towards her.

Bai Zhiyuan drew his sword and fought with them.

They seemed to be some ordinary guards. Their skills were not that great, but they had the advantage of numbers.

Bai Zhiyuan was so focused on dealing with them that he didn't notice that the humiliated woman was struggling to get up and ran straight into a big tree beside her.

The man shouted, "No!" but it was too late to stop her. The woman smiled sadly, her head bleeding, and her body slowly went limp and she fell to the ground.

Bai Zhiyuan was so anxious that he didn't bother to fight with these people. He quickly dealt with them with a few moves.

At this moment, Tian Xun, who had been following Bai Zhiyuan quietly, appeared at the right time and brought people to capture all those people.

Bai Zhiyuan slowly approached the man who was holding the fallen woman and crying loudly.

She felt the woman's pulse and saw that she was such a loyal woman, but she ended her life just like that.

Bai Zhiyuan felt a little guilty. If he had taken action earlier, the woman might not have died.

She patted the man's shoulder and consoled him, "The dead cannot be resurrected, please accept my condolences, young master."

The man, immersed in sorrow, seemed not to hear her words.

Bai Zhiyuan sighed softly and turned to leave.

At this moment, the man pulled out the hairpin on the woman's head and was about to commit suicide.

Bai Zhiyuan was startled and exerted force with his hand to knock the hairpin out of the man's hand.

The man's hand had been cut by the hairpin and blood was flowing.

He raised his eyes, and Bai Zhiyuan could see the despair in his eyes.

He asked, "Why save me?"

Bai Zhiyuan replied: "I feel deeply guilty for not being able to save your wife. But if I were your wife, I would definitely want you to live well."

The man said sadly: "She is dead, what is the point of me living?"

What a lovesick man! The despair in his eyes shocked Bai Zhiyuan, as if he saw himself before his death in his previous life.

She said word by word: "You can avenge her if you are alive, but if you die, there will be nothing left."

After Bai Zhiyuan finished speaking, he turned and left.

She slowly walked towards Tianxun, her expression calm and she asked, "Why are you here? Tianxun."

Tianxun didn't dare to hide anything and could only tell Xie Yunsong everything about why he was sent to follow her.

Bai Zhiyuan listened to it without any expression on his face, and said: "Tianxun, you can go back. I don't need anyone to follow me, I can protect myself."

After hearing this, Tianxun knelt down in front of Bai Zhiyuan and said, "County Lady, I can't leave. Since the young master sent me here, there is no reason for me to go back. Just let me follow you, and I promise not to hinder you in any way."

Bai Zhiyuan was unmoved: "Tianxun, Xie Yunsong and I have already severed our relationship, and there is absolutely no reason for me to accept him again. You should leave as soon as possible and go back to where you belong."

Tian Xun refused to get up and said firmly: "County Lady, if I go back, the young master will not let me go. If you don't let me follow you, you might as well kill me with a sword, so that I won't fail the mission and be punished by the young master."

Bai Zhiyuan sneered, "Do you think I really don't dare to kill you after hearing that?"

Tianxun: "Tianxun is at the disposal of the county lady."

Bai Zhiyuan's eyes grew more and more angry, she suddenly drew out her sword and stabbed towards Tianxun. Tianxun closed his eyes and did not dodge.

Bai Zhiyuan stopped an inch away from Tianlin's chest. She sighed and said, "Forget it, you can stay."

Tianxun breathed a sigh of relief. He was also gambling just now. He followed Xie Yunsong and knew Bai Zhiyuan a little bit. He knew that she was not the kind of person who would kill innocent people. Fortunately, he won the bet and successfully stayed. Finally, he lived up to the trust of the young master.
