Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

The winter roads are covered with white snow, and bare branches on the roadside stand in the remaining snow.

Two horses were galloping along the deserted road.

Looking closely, the woman was wearing a white cape, with skin as white as cream and a beautiful face. A cold wind blew, blowing away the snow on her hair. The man was wearing a black cotton shirt, with a handsome face and calmness and pride between his eyebrows.

The two men, one black and one white, rode their horses and galloped towards Nanping Town.

Xie Yunsong and Bai Zhiyuan rode at full speed and soon arrived at Nanping Town.

As the sky gradually darkened, Nanping Town, perhaps influenced by Liuzhou City, had few pedestrians on the road. The lanterns on both sides of the streets rustled in the wind. The whole town, except for a few towering walls at the west end, was full of low thatched houses.

A place like this really doesn't seem like a place where an army can be hidden.

Xie Yunsong and Bai Zhiyuan were leading their horses and walking on the quiet road in Nanping Town.

"Miss Bai, do you really think Liu Huaisu would hide here?

"General Xie, haven't you ever heard that the most dangerous place is the safest place? The most impossible place is the most possible."

Xie Yunsong thought for a moment and asked, "Where do you think he will be, Miss Bai?"

Bai Zhiyuan looked around, the sky was getting darker, and he could not see a single person. Suddenly, Bai Zhiyuan heard a bell ringing, which sounded particularly clear in this quiet moment.

Bai Zhiyuan and Xie Yunsong looked at each other. Lu Zhiling and the others had not noticed the temple before.

Bai Zhiyuan then walked to a house and knocked on the door. A woman in a coarse cloth dress opened the door with a baby in her arms. When she saw Bai Zhiyuan, her eyes lit up and she stared at him without moving.

Bai Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I just heard the sound of a bell. Is there a temple nearby?"

The woman came back to her senses and said awkwardly, "There is a mountain in the east called Zijin Mountain. Halfway up the mountain there is an abandoned temple called Lingxia Temple."

Xie Yunsong wondered, "If it's abandoned, why is someone ringing the bell?"

The woman looked up and was stunned for a moment. She had never seen such a handsome man and was stunned for a moment.

Seeing this, Xie Yunsong frowned slightly.

Bai Zhiyuan's eyes flashed with a smile, "Sister-in-law?"

The woman was awakened, her face slightly flushed, and she said embarrassedly: "You two don't know, two years ago, a group of monks suddenly came to Lingxia Temple to practice. Every day at sunrise and sunset, they ring the bell."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yunsong and Bai Zhiyuan looked at each other, and they both saw joy in each other's eyes.

It seems that this is the place they are looking for.

After leaving the woman's house, Bai Zhiyuan prepared to go to Lingxia Temple.

Seeing this, Xie Yunsong pulled Bai Zhiyuan, frowned, and whispered, "Miss Bai, is this how you plan to go?"

Bai Zhiyuan raised his eyes, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes: "What do you mean, General Xie?"

Before Xie Yunsong and Bai Zhiyuan came to Nanping Town, they had ordered Bai Qiuze to lead a team to Nanping Town. But as it was getting dark and the roads were slippery due to the snow, Bai Qiuze had not arrived yet.

Seeing Xie Yunsong silent, Bai Zhiyuan thought for a moment and said softly, "General Xie, if we don't go now, if Liu Huaisu gets the news and runs away, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack for us to catch him."

Seeing that Xie Yunsong still didn't speak, with his clear black eyes reflecting deep and shallow fragments of light, Bai Zhiyuan asked anxiously: "General Xie, what are you still hesitating about?"

Xie Yunsong's eyes flickered, and he spoke slowly: "I can't let Miss Bai take this risk. So, I will go alone, and Miss Bai will wait for your brother here. When your brother arrives with his men, you will follow them to Lingxia Temple."

Bai Zhiyuan's eyes suddenly dimmed, "General Xie doesn't want me to take risks, and I don't want General Xie to take risks alone. General Xie doesn't have to worry about me. The most important thing right now is to catch Liu Huaisu as soon as possible."

Xie Yunsong was indifferent. "Before Miss Bai set out, she promised to obey me in everything. Now I order Miss Bai to stay where she is and wait for reinforcements."

Seeing this, Bai Zhiyuan raised his eyes to the sky and said anxiously, "General Xie, judging by the time, the reinforcements will be here soon. We can't delay any longer."

"General Xie, you and I will sneak in. I promise, I will listen to you. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west. If you let me stay here alone waiting for reinforcements, I will not wait obediently. I will still sneak in." Bai Zhiyuan said quickly while observing Xie Yunsong's expression.

Xie Yunsong frowned when he heard that he was going to sneak in. After a while, he slowly spoke, "Okay, but Miss Bai must listen to me and not act rashly. If anything happens, Miss Bai must protect herself first."

Bai Zhiyuan heard this and said happily: "Thank you very much, General. I will definitely listen to you. With a brave man like General Xie, we will definitely be able to escape unscathed."

Xie Yunsong pulled the corner of his mouth, smiling, "Let's go, stop flattering me."

Bai Zhiyuan hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, let's go."

After saying that, the two of them quickly moved towards Lingxia Temple.

Two people, two shadows, one white and one black, crossed mountains and ridges and arrived at the entrance of Lingxia Temple.

The walls of Lingxia Temple were mottled, and mosses and wormwood grew on the tiles, which were all covered by the night. At a glance, the tiles on the roof shone coldly in the moonlight.

Xie Yunsong and Bai Zhiyuan crouched down, pressed close to the wall, and quietly touched a low wall in the dark. They jumped into the low wall and successfully entered Lingxia Temple quietly.

Inside the temple, it seemed that there were not many people in the dim and quiet courtyard, but there was a large sandalwood burner emitting smoke.

Xie Yunsong and Bai Zhiyuan reached the main hall. Looking out the east window, they saw a monk kneeling on a cushion in front of them, worshipping Buddha, and hundreds of other monks kneeling densely behind him.

Bai Zhiyuan saw the calluses on the monks' palms through the dim candlelight. They were not ordinary monks, but more like martial artists who practiced martial arts with weapons for many years.

Seeing this, Bai Zhiyuan was almost certain that these monks were the army under Liu Huaisu.

But what about Liu Huaisu? Is he hiding here?

Bai Zhiyuan looked up at Xie Yunsong and saw that Xie Yunsong looked thoughtful.

Suddenly Bai Zhiyuan heard hurried footsteps and hurriedly pulled Xie Yunsong away to hide.

Through the hazy moonlight, Bai Zhiyuan saw a few people coming in a panic and walking quickly into the hall.

The leader walked up to a kneeling monk, leaned close to his ear and whispered something. The monk stood up, and at that moment, Bai Zhiyuan saw his appearance clearly.

It was him, Liu Huaisu. It turned out that he had disguised himself as an ordinary monk, blending in among the hundreds of monks.

Bai Zhiyuan raised her eyes and looked at Xie Yunsong, who happened to be looking at her as well. His eyes sparkled in the dark night, and he blinked with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
