Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

With such a delay, coupled with the heavier snow, Bai Zhiyuan sighed helplessly, fearing that he would not be able to travel today.

Let's go back to the post station to spend the night and then set off early tomorrow.

She turned around and asked Tianxun who was following behind her, "How many people did you bring this time?"

Tian Xun replied: "My Lord, there are 16 of them in total, but they are all very skilled. These are the guards brought by the young master himself, and they are not registered soldiers."

Bai Zhiyuan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "Let's go back to the post station tonight to rest for a night, and then set off tomorrow. You and your people, wait until you send me back to Shangjing and then leave. This way, you will have fulfilled Xie Yunsong's request."

Tianxun said respectfully: "Yes!"

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the guard next to him brought Bai Zhiyuan's horse over.

Bai Zhiyuan jumped on his horse and said, "Send these people we caught today to the authorities."

Then she gripped the reins tightly and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he turned his head and saw that the infatuated man was still holding the dead woman's body tightly without moving, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with him.

Bai Zhiyuan couldn't help but feel pity and looked up at the sky. Whatever, there was no way to travel today anyway.

She jumped off the horse and walked over to the man again.

The man did not even raise his head. It was so cold, if he sat like this all night, there would be only two corpses tomorrow morning.

Bai Zhiyuan said, "Sir, I have sent the people who hurt you to the authorities. I believe the prefect will give your wife an explanation. Don't be too sad."

The man then raised his head stiffly, opened his mouth, and said in a very hoarse voice: "Thank you, young lady."

Seeing that he was finally willing to talk, Bai Zhiyuan sat down next to him and said, "No need to thank me. Anyway, I didn't save your wife."

The man said, "If you hadn't rescued me, my wife would have been raped by them. Now at least she has saved her reputation."

Bai Zhiyuan asked again: "Sir, who are these people? Why do they want to bully you like this?"

The man replied, "They are well-known bullies in the city, and they happen to be our neighbors. My wife and I have always depended on each other, and we have no relatives, but they have long coveted my wife's beauty and have repeatedly tried to make a move on her. But I am a warrior and know some martial arts, so they dare not go too far. I never thought that today, when I went out for a while, they brought many people with them and tied us up when I came back. Maybe they were afraid of alerting the officials, so they brought us here to kill me and humiliate my wife."

"So that's how it is." Bai Zhiyuan said, "Don't worry, I know the governor of Youzhou. I have ordered someone to send them to the government. I believe the government will give you justice."

The man looked down at the woman in his arms who was no longer breathing and said, "Thank you, Miss."

Bai Zhiyuan shook his head: "I said you don't need to thank me. You just said you were a warrior? Now you are alone. If you don't mind, we are going back to Shangjing. Why don't you come with me and be my bodyguard? It's better than you being sad here alone."

The man seemed not to have expected her to say that, and looked her up.

Bai Zhiyuan let him look at her.

The man lowered his head to look at the lifeless person in his arms again, and then looked at the girl in front of him who exuded the aura of a wealthy family, and asked tentatively: "I wonder which family in the capital are you from?"

Bai Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I am Bai Zhiyuan from General Weiyuan's Mansion."

The man was stunned and asked, "Are you the daughter of General Weiyuan?"

"Exactly!"

After a long while, the man tidied the clothes and hair of the woman in his arms, slowly put her down, knelt down in front of Bai Zhiyuan, kowtowed and said: "My name is Xia Qing. Thank you Miss Bai for your respect. I have always respected General Da as a person. I have no worries here anymore. I am willing to go to Shangjing with Miss Bai and protect her safety."

After saying that, he looked at the sword in Bai Zhiyuan's hand again, and remembered that Bai Zhiyuan's martial arts were far superior to his own. He said ashamedly: "As long as the lady doesn't despise my mediocre skills, it will be fine."

Bai Zhiyuan smiled and said, "No. Then follow me. I don't need you to be good at martial arts, I just want you to be loyal to me. I'll give you one day to settle your wife, and then you can leave with me."

After hearing this, Xia Qing nodded and agreed: "Yes!"

Bai Zhiyuan had already turned around and left. As he got on his horse, he said, "I'm staying at the post station ahead today. When you're settled tomorrow, you can come find me directly."

After saying this, he waved his whip and rode away.

Upon seeing this, Tianxun quickly jumped on his horse and chased after him. As he ran, he thought that he had to report everything that happened today to the young master.

The Northern Army Camp on the other side.

Xie Yunsong finally received Tianxun's carrier pigeon letter.

He had been worried and anxious day and night these days, and at this moment, he finally got news about Bai Zhiyuan.

He couldn't wait to open the letter.

Tianxun wrote in the letter that Bai Zhiyuan first went to Wanxiang Mountain to take the master's ashes. Yes, she said that when she returns to Beijing one day, she will definitely bring the master with her. His Ayuan has always been a man of his word.

Tianxun wrote again that Bai Zhiyuan went to Yuehua Town to visit Uncle Qin. Xie Yunsong's heart was once again filled with warmth. The last time they passed by Yuehua Town, she saw his hesitation. This time, she was alone and did not forget to visit the people he cared about.

Xie Yunsong's heart leaped with joy again, but Tianxun soon said that Bai Zhiyuan discovered that he had been following him all the way, and just as Tianxun expected, he ordered him to go back, but Tianxun was always smart and somehow persuaded Ayuan to let Tianxun stay.

Xie Yunsong read Tianxun's letter over and over again, word by word, fearing that he would miss any important news.

The worry he had been having for the past few days finally settled down.

Hearing the news that Ayuan was safe and sound, the tense heart he had been feeling for the past few days finally relaxed a little.

Knowing that Ayuan has done so many things, he also has to cheer up. After the new year is over, he will take the initiative to launch a war against Beidi, strive to end the war as soon as possible, recover the northern border, and then he can return to Shangjing to reunite with Ayuan.

Xie Yunsong no longer wallowed in sorrow. He opened the map of the northern border and began to study it carefully.

And there is another person who has been very angry these days, and that is Shen Zhiyi.

Ever since that day Bai Zhiyuan left the Northern Territory, she has been happy.

But from that day on, she never saw Xie Yunsong again. Every time she went to see Xie Yunsong, she was always turned away. Xie Yunsong didn't want to see her at all.

At first, Shen Zhiyi still comforted himself. After all, Bai Zhiyi had just left, so it was understandable that Xie Yunsong was in a bad mood.

But several days passed in a flash, and every time she went to stop Xie Yunsong, he ignored her.

Shen Zhiyi was panicking. She had finally won and driven Bai Zhiyuan away. If she still couldn't win Xie Yunsong's heart, then when she returned to Beijing, Xie Yunsong would not be the kind of person who could be manipulated by others. He would definitely not listen to the empress dowager and marry her.

But no matter what she tried, Xie Yunsong still refused to see her.

Shen Zhiyi couldn't help but resent Bai Zhiyuan in her heart. Even though she had left long ago, Xie Yunsong still couldn't let her go.

Shen Zhiyi thought about it and could only comfort herself. Now that she was close to him, she would take her time and Xie Yunsong would see her good side. Once Bai Zhiyuan returned to Beijing, she would definitely be granted marriage. There were many people in Beijing who coveted her. No matter what, she was just a woman, and getting married was her final destination.

After thinking it through, Shen Zhiyi was no longer in a hurry to find Xie Yunsong. Instead, he began to treat the soldiers in the barracks as he did before, and carefully prepared meals for Xie Yunsong every day.

She believed that with every effort, Xie Yunsong would see her one day.
