Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

When Bai Zhiyuan arrived outside the city, Xie Yunsong's team had not yet set off.

From a distance, Bai Zhiyuan saw Xie Yunsong standing at the front of the team on horseback. He was ready to go, his armor shining in the sun. He held the stiff rope in his hands and a long sword hung on his waist. He looked heroic, with dark eyes that were calm and steady.

Cheng Beixiao, who was standing aside, had a smile in his eyes and a curled corner of his lips. It was unknown what he was saying to Xie Yunsong.

Bai Zhiyuan didn't dare to get too close to them, fearing that they would find her. She just stood at the end of the team. A skinny soldier next to her saw that she looked unfamiliar and asked, "Brother, I haven't seen you before."

Bai Zhiyuan was startled and said with a smile: "My mother was sick a few days ago, so I didn't train with you guys these days."

The soldier suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. I see that you are well-mannered and you look like a child from a wealthy family. Why did you join the army?"

Bai Zhiyuan replied: "I am willing to follow General Xie and serve Dali."

This sentence made the soldiers around him excited. The soldier who started the conversation said, "Okay, for what you said, I will protect you from now on. My name is Sun Xiaoshan, but I don't know your name yet?"

Bai Zhiyuan said: "My last name is Bai, and my given name is Anbei. You can call me Xiaobei."

As they were talking, military flags fluttered and trumpets sounded, and they were about to set off.

Bai Zhiyuan couldn't hide her excitement. She had deliberately put some black on her face today, fearing that someone would recognize her identity.

She thought to herself, "It seems that she is quite successful in dressing up as a man."

She looked up at the sky. Her parents should have left Beijing by now.

She looked back at Shangjing without any reluctance and caught up with the team that had already set off.

When they walked for a while, Bai Zhiyuan saw that the team stopped and was wondering.

The soldiers around them all said, "In front of us is General Xie's admirer, the female doctor Shen Zhiyi. She is going to follow the general to the northern border again. I heard that she follows the general every time he goes on an expedition."

Another person in the team said, "It seems like General Xie is about to have good news."

Another person said, "I really envy the general. Miss Shen is a beauty and also has medical skills. It is a real pleasure for the general to have a beautiful girl in his arms."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

There was laughter in the crowd.

Bai Zhiyuan looked from afar and saw Shen Zhiyi seemed to have whispered something to Xie Yunsong. Xie Yunsong still looked cold and arrogant. He just waved his hand and Shen Zhiyi stood beside him and rode forward with him.

Bai Zhiyuan suddenly felt a little sad. She was the soldier walking at the back, while Xie Yunsong, his men, and Miss Shen rode in the front. The world was really unfair. Bai Zhiyuan sighed secretly, but she had to speed up and catch up with the team.

The mountain road was long and arduous, and before we knew it, it had gotten dark.

Because their team was traveling along a mountain road, they slept in tents in the wild at night.

After walking for a whole day, Bai Zhiyuan felt like his legs were useless. He took a bite of the sesame cake angrily and began to envy Xie Yunsong who was riding a horse.

The tent that Bai Zhiyuan lived in was very small, with several people squeezed into one room. The soldiers didn't have much luggage, so they could barely fit in.

Bai Zhiyuan sat on her bed, unscrewed the kettle at her waist and took a sip. As a woman, it would be inappropriate for her to live with so many men, but there was nothing she could do at the moment, so she had to act according to circumstances.

Bai Zhiyuan had no choice but to sneak out when everyone in the tent was asleep, and sit alone in the open space in front of the camp to spend the night.

For several days, no one discovered Bai Zhiyuan's identity.

The journey was not easy and everyone was exhausted. Bai Zhiyuan was a martial artist after all, so he got used to this pace after a few days.

In the evening, the army reached a mountain called Baiyun Mountain. There was a large open space at the foot of Baiyun Mountain. As expected, they would camp there tonight.

Bai Zhiyuan sat in the tent. Tonight's dinner was a simple steamed bun with porridge. Bai Zhiyuan couldn't help wondering if Xie Yunsong ate the same food as them. What about Cheng Beixiao? Could he endure the hardship in the military camp? And the delicate Shen Zhiyi. When would he reach the northern border and show his true face to others? It was too hard to live with the daily worry of being exposed.

After several days of traveling and sleeping on a hard bed, Bai Zhiyuan heard that there was a river near Baiyun Mountain where he could take a bath.

At night, when everyone in the tent was asleep, Bai Zhiyuan sneaked out and ran to the river. Seeing that there was no one around, he jumped into the river to take a bath.

I was so exhausted from all the traveling. Now I was soaking in the water and all my fatigue was gone.

Bai Zhiyuan looked at the moon above her head, feeling lost for a moment. She didn't know where her father and the others had gone. Ling Xiao should have sent the letter. Her father would be angry when he received his letter. She also didn't know how Shangjing was doing. Did anyone notice that she was missing?

As Bai Zhiyuan was thinking about this, he actually fell asleep in the water.

When I woke up, I was surprised to hear some sounds in the surrounding jungle.

Startled, she swam to the shore quickly, put on her clothes quickly, and ran towards the camp without even tying her hair.

I just heard someone say, "Who?"

Bai Zhiyuan was shocked and ran even faster.

The man chased after her relentlessly, and Bai Zhiyuan hurriedly hid in the woods beside the road. The man chased her all the way to the woods, and Bai Zhiyuan had no choice but to jump onto a tree. She could clearly see from the tree that the man was Cheng Beixiao.

Bai Zhiyuan thought to himself: That was a close call, I was almost discovered.

Looking at the person who came later, Bai Zhiyuan looked like he had survived a calamity. The person who came later was Xie Yunsong who came over after hearing the noise.

Xie Yunsong raised his eyebrows and asked, "Cheng Beixiao, what are you looking for?"

Cheng Beixiao scratched his head and said, "Yunsong, didn't you see a woman just now? With long fluttering hair, could she be a fairy from heaven?"

Xie Yunsong was speechless. He glanced around but found nothing unusual.

Cheng Beixiao shook his head and said, "Am I hallucinating? Just now I clearly..."

Xie Yunsong interrupted impatiently: "Okay, go back quickly."

Cheng Beixiao looked around again. Not to mention the fairy, there was not even a human figure. So he followed Xie Yunsong back.

As they walked, he said, "Yunsong, I wonder how things are going in the capital? Is Miss Bai okay? Why don't we write her a letter when we get back and tell her everything we saw and heard along the way? She will definitely be happy."

Xie Yunsong was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay."

Cheng Beixiao started chattering again, and the two of them walked towards the camp.

Bai Zhiyuan heard the conversation between the two on the tree and thought: Cheng Beixiao is a good friend. He never forgets her wherever he goes.

Then he waited until the two of them had completely disappeared before jumping down and walking towards the tent.

When she went back, she didn't disturb anyone. Bai Zhiyuan lay down quietly, thinking about how she had just met Xie Yunsong and Cheng Beixiao but couldn't get to know them. She wondered whether she should tell them directly. Soon, this idea was rejected by her. If Xie Yunsong knew she was here, he would definitely let her go back. She didn't want to go back now.

As he was thinking about this, Bai Zhiyuan fell asleep.

The next morning, before dawn, a loud horn sounded outside.

It was time to set off again. From Shangjing to the northern border, it would take at least three months on foot.

Bai Zhiyuan thought so without stopping his hands. At Xiaoshan's urging, he hurried to meet up with the team and continued on his journey north.
