Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

The autumn wind gradually rises, and everything becomes bleak.

At night, a fire suddenly ignited in an abandoned courtyard on the outskirts of the city, and a female voice suddenly rang out in the darkness: "Help! Someone come——"

That voice was the voice of Bai Zhiyuan, the wife of Rong'an County Lord and General Yunhui. The sky-high flames rose from the ground. It was originally a wooden house, and almost immediately engulfed half of the wall. What was strange was that the guards guarding the door did not move at all, as if they were dead. It was only when the few people left at the outer courtyard door heard the sound and movement that they ran in, but were stunned by the blazing flames.

No one knew where the fire started from, and it almost engulfed the entire house. Bai Zhiyuan's house was already remote, so even if people tried to put out the fire, it would be of no use.

The woman's screams continued to be heard, and the people in the outer courtyard were terrified. Someone in the crowd shouted, "Hurry up and put out the fire! His Highness said that the people inside must not be harmed!"

Everyone then reacted and some were looking for buckets and carrying water, but the fire was getting more and more intense due to the autumn wind and the dead wood all around, and the little water that was poured in was of no use.

At this moment, Jiang Muyun in the room was awakened from her sleep by the burning sensation. She opened her eyes and saw blazing flames all around her. The flames spread all over. She was startled and shouted for help without thinking too much: "Help - help - someone come quickly -"

But time passed by minute by minute, the fire grew bigger and bigger, Jiang Muyun could clearly feel her hair and skin being singed, the smell of burnt flesh penetrated her ears, the room was so burned that it could no longer be recognized in its original state.

Jiang Muyun was extremely scared. She clearly came here to see Bai Zhiyuan, so why did she get so angry today?

Yes, Bai Zhiyuan! Jiang Muyun suddenly remembered her. The fire was so big now. If she couldn't escape, no matter if Bai Zhiyuan had three heads and six arms, she would be in the same predicament as herself.

So, when Jiang Muyun thought about this, her fear was alleviated a lot, and she was even a little excited. Even if she died in the sea of ​​fire today, Bai Zhiyuan would be with her.

Jiang Muyun was shocked again. What if the fire today was deliberately started by Bai Zhiyuan in order to escape from here? Jiang Muyun made up her mind and plunged into the sea of ​​fire. Bai Zhiyuan lived next door to her, and she wanted to watch her die in the sea of ​​fire with her own eyes. The closer she walked to the next door, the more severe the burning sensation became, but Jiang Muyun didn't care. The house was burned beyond recognition, and she could only hear the faint sound of crying coming from deep inside the house.

The fire got bigger and bigger, and Jiang Muyun's hands were blistered, but she didn't care and continued to move forward. Finally, in a corner, she saw Bai Zhiyuan curled up in the corner.

Bai Zhiyuan was still crying. Jiang Muyun breathed a sigh of relief and said with a grim smile, "Bai Zhiyuan, go die now!"

After she finished speaking, Bai Zhiyuan was still crying without any reaction. Jiang Muyun was stunned. She knew Bai Zhiyuan. She was not someone who would give up easily, and she would not cry and accept her fate here. Besides, why was she in such a secluded place in the house? Didn't she ever think of running away?

No! She took a step forward, ignoring the burning beam in front of her, and grabbed Bai Zhiyuan's hand and pulled her up.

"Bai Zhiyuan" was wearing his usual clothes, crying, his face was blackened by smoke, but his facial features could still be distinguished. It was clearly not Bai Zhiyuan, but the maid who had always served Bai Zhiyuan.

Jiang Muyun was startled and didn't care why the maid wanted to help Bai Zhiyuan. She turned around and was about to shout loudly.

The maid jumped up, grabbed her arm with one hand and covered her mouth with the other, with a weird smile on her face: "You want the county lady to accompany you to hell, why don't you accompany me to hell now!"

Jiang Muyun was shocked and asked in a whimper, "Are you Xie Yunsong's man?"

"Wrong!" The maid laughed and said, "The King of Yan and I have an irreconcilable feud. Since you are his man, I will take revenge on you first!"

After the maid finished speaking, she hugged him even tighter with her hands, and a large piece of burning wood fell down, with sparks landing on Jiang Muyun.

Jiang Muyun stepped back in fear. At this time, the fire was already very big and the house was about to collapse. Jiang Muyun was anxious and her face became more and more ferocious. She wanted to take Bai Zhiyuan with her even if she died today. But now Bai Zhiyuan might escape. How could she be willing?

Jiang Muyun struggled a few times, but she saw that the maid had grabbed her somehow and couldn't get away for a while. She said angrily: "You slut, let me go!"

The maid sneered and used all her strength to grab Jiang Muyun, saying: "You must be wondering why the guards outside were indifferent today? That's because..."

The maid paused and continued, "Because I drugged them and made them all faint. You must be wondering where the drug came from. It was stolen from your room. Haha - haha ​​-"

Jiang Muyun was shocked, angry, and afraid, and cursed: "You...you slut, you are a traitor!"

The maid let go of her hand and swung her palm. Jiang Muyun was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground. At that moment, a burning beam fell and hit Jiang Muyun directly. The flames quickly burned her clothes and soon turned them into charcoal.

Jiang Muyun screamed in the sea of ​​fire, and she rolled on the ground in pain. Soon, there was no intact skin on her body, and she smelled a nauseating smell of burnt flesh. A large part of her already ugly face was burned, and the pink skin was exposed, which was very scary.

The maid stood not far away, looking coldly at everything in front of her. She had been here for a long time, inhaled a lot of smoke and dust, and was now dying.

Bai Zhiyuan didn't let her stay in the sea of ​​fire forever, just let her hold on for a while. After she knocked out the guards outside tonight, Bai Zhiyuan escaped in disguise, and she set a fire before leaving. She wanted to buy more time for Bai Zhiyuan to escape. After all, helping her was equivalent to helping herself. Even if she died in the sea of ​​fire, she would not regret it, as long as she could get revenge!

Soon, Jiang Muyun on the ground was silent, and the people outside were still trying to put out the fire with little effort. The maid used all her strength, took a step forward, and stretched out her hand to feel Jiang Muyun's breath. Her whole body had been burned to charcoal, and she had stopped breathing long ago.

The maid smiled sadly, feeling relieved. Even if she couldn't kill the King of Yan, she would kill the woman who was in cahoots with him. But after a while, the fire attacked the maid and engulfed her in an instant.

After a long time, the guards outside gradually woke up and realized that something was wrong. If the King of Yan knew about the fire, they would be in trouble. Without caring about themselves, the guards got up and put out the fire. After all, there is strength in numbers. Soon, the fire gradually subsided. When the fire was completely extinguished, the leader of the guards went in to check and saw Jiang Muyun, who had been burned beyond recognition. Only from her clothes could they tell who she was. There was another body next to her. Judging from her clothes, it was the Princess of Rong'an County, but her facial features were not completely burned. Some people vaguely found that she did not look like the Princess of Rong'an.

The head of the guards was horrified, and realized that everything today was a plot by Rong'an County Lady. This woman was too scary. He walked out with a gloomy face: "Chase! Rong'an County Lady ran away! Chase!"

In the mountain stream and fields, the dark mountain road was without any firelight. Bai Zhiyuan stole a horse before leaving. She ran very fast. She did not dare to light a torch for fear of attracting King Yan's men. The maidservant did not know what to do. She originally wanted her to go with her, but she insisted on staying to take revenge.

Bai Zhiyuan was very anxious. They would surely discover that she was missing and would chase after her soon. However, this place was so far away from Shangjing and so desolate. She ran so far but still found it was deserted. There was no place for her to hide.

She saw the temple from afar, it was Puhua Temple, but she didn't dare to go in at the moment, she was afraid that King Yan had also planted people inside, and she was afraid of disturbing Princess Heyue. If Qi Zeyi was desperate and hurt Princess Heyue, she would never want to see it.

So, she could only keep going forward, hoping to escape safely. But she was not familiar with this place, and it was dark. Just as she was thinking about where to run, she heard a noisy sound behind her. Her heart tightened, and she turned around to see a large fire approaching. It was the guards chasing her.
