Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

Chapter 79: Changes at the Banquet

The banquet continued and the dancers did not leave, standing on the left and right.

Bai Zhiyuan has not yet recovered from her shock. There are some people about Qi Zeyi that she doesn't know, such as the guard in front of her, who will probably be the one protecting Jiang Muyun in the future.

She looked at the wine pot in the hand of the maid who was pouring wine for Xie Yunsong, and suddenly, she discovered something. In her previous life, as the Princess of Yan, she was naturally used to all kinds of tricks in the palace. Some wine pots looked no different from ordinary wine pots, but in fact, they had hidden mysteries and could rotate, with one side being poisonous and the other side being non-toxic.

Looking at Xie Yunsong again, he had already raised the cup to his lips. Bai Zhiyuan was extremely frightened. Without time to think, he smashed the wine glass out of Xie Yunsong's hand with a palm.

The dancers who were dancing gracefully just now, seeing this sudden change, immediately drew out their hidden soft swords and rushed towards Xie Yunsong in unison.

The maid who was standing nearby pouring wine also quickly pulled out a dagger and stabbed directly at Xie Yunsong.

Xie Yunsong's expression remained unchanged, without any sign of panic. The wine glass in his hand flew straight towards the maid beside him. The maid dodged sideways, and the dagger in her hand also deviated a little, passing by Xie Yunsong.

Bai Zhiyuan drew his sword, while Xie Yunsong was surrounded by a dozen people.

Xie Yunsong's swordsmanship was superb, and his skills were outstanding. There were only dozens of people, and they were no match for him. Although Bai Zhiyuan did not bring the Baihong Sword today, her sword stabbed directly at the man who dug out her eyes in her previous life. The man did not attack, but was forced to attack by Bai Zhiyuan.

The man was quite skilled, Bai Zhiyuan dodged and rushed forward, the two figures rushed together, Bai Zhiyuan's swordsmanship was very fast, in just a moment, she kicked the dagger in the guard's hand away. She rushed forward again as light as a swallow, the man smelled a fierce murderous aura, subconsciously raised his hand to resist, only to hear a "ah" sound, the man's arm was cut off, the bloody arm fell to the ground, the man rolled on the ground in pain.

Xie Yunsong had already subdued those dozens of dancers. There were many corpses lying on the ground. The singer who was still dancing in the previous second became a cold corpse in the next second.

Xie Yunsong looked at the cold murderous aura on Bai Zhiyuan. He didn't know what deep hatred she had with the man in front of him. Until Bai Zhiyuan cut off the man's arm, he could not hide his surprise in his eyes.

Sun Xuran seemed to be stunned by this sudden change, and hid under the long table in fear. It was not until he saw Bai Zhiyuan chopping off his guard's arm with his own eyes that he seemed to react and shouted, "Someone come! Someone come quickly!"

But Bai Zhiyuan noticed the gleam of light that flashed in his eyes. She pulled the bloody sword and walked towards Sun Xuran step by step. Sun Xuran was protected by the guards behind him and took a few steps back, looking panicked.

Looking at Xie Yunsong again, the tip of his sword was already pointing at the throat of the maid who was pouring wine.

The young man asked in a sharp voice, with undisguised murderous intent: "Who sent you?"

The standing maid suddenly laughed, and black blood flowed from her lips. Looking at the women around her, they all died of poisoning. They were indeed assassins who committed suicide after failing in their mission.

Xie Yunsong stepped over the corpse and looked straight at Sun Xuran who was hiding behind the guards. He pretended to be calm. Xie Yunsong scolded: "Sir Sun, you seem to need an explanation from me? Why would the maid in your house try to stab me?"

Sun Xuran wanted to explain, but when he saw his guard lying on the ground holding his broken arm, he turned his eyes and asked, "I didn't know about the assassination today, but I also want to ask General Yun Hui, why did the guard beside you draw the sword and hurt someone? My guard was standing next to him, but he chopped off his arm with a sword. Can General Yun Hui's guards hurt people at will?"

Bai Zhiyuan sneered in her heart, but she saw the guard staring at her fiercely. She walked forward and said, "You must be wondering why I want to hurt you? Right?"

"If I remember correctly, your name is Yuan Qing, right?"

Yuan Qing was stunned, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Just now, Bai Zhiyuan finally remembered that the man who dug out her eyes in her previous life was named Yuan Qing. She had heard Jiang Muyun call him that before.

"You must be wondering now, why do I even know your name?"

"Because I am not General Yunhui's guard at all. I am the current Princess Rong'an." As she spoke, she took out her hairpin, and her ink-black long hair spread out over her shoulders.

Yuan Qing looked incredulous.

Bai Zhiyuan continued, "Your master is the current Prince of Yan, right? If I remember correctly, Lord Sun seems to be working under Prince Chen, so why are the guards of the Prince of Yan here?"

Sun Xuran was already stunned that the person in front of him was actually the Princess of Rong'an County. When he suddenly heard her question, he opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Yuan Qing was the first to react. Even the Princess of Rong'an should not have seen him. He was a man kept by the Prince of Yan. Even when he went to the Prince of Yan's mansion, he was very careful to avoid being seen. She must be deceiving him.

Yuan Qing laughed and said, "What about the Princess Rong'an? Can the Princess hurt people at will? What's more, what did the Princess say about the King of Yan? I don't know. I am just the bodyguard of Lord Sun."

Sun Suran said hurriedly: "That's right, the county lady must have misunderstood."

Bai Zhiyuan sneered, "Really? Don't think that just because Prince Yan keeps you outside the palace, no one will know. I know you have a tattoo unique to Prince Yan's palace."

Yuan Qing's eyes suddenly widened. How could it be possible? How could she know? This was the secret of the King of Yan.

Bai Zhiyuan walked towards him step by step, and he suddenly felt scared. He wanted to hide, but he was injured and couldn't move at all. He could only look at the girl standing in front of him, looking down at him from above.

His face was pale, he could not make a sound, and he allowed Bai Zhiyuan to use the sword to open his clothes. On his left arm, there was a word in the shape of a soaring dragon, which was the word "Yan". Even if ordinary people saw it, they would not associate it with the King of Yan. That was what the King of Yan tattooed on everyone when they joined the King of Yan's mansion, meaning that they would be a member of the King of Yan's mansion in life and a ghost of the King of Yan's mansion in death.

Bai Zhiyuan asked sternly: "What else do you have to say now?"

Yuan Qing was already speechless because of the woman in front of him. How many secrets did she know? He stood there with a terrified look in his eyes, completely different from before.

Bai Zhiyuan knew about the tattoos in the Prince of Yan's Mansion because Qi Zeyi in her previous life told her some secrets in order to make her assist him wholeheartedly. She was just testing him just now, and she was not sure whether the people kept outside the mansion had tattoos. As soon as she mentioned it, Yuan Qing's face changed drastically, which made Bai Zhiyuan more certain of her guess.

Sun Xuran was filled with fear. He said, "General Yunhui, County Lady, I don't know. I don't know that this person is the Prince of Yan's man. He must be a spy of the Prince of Yan. He wants to ask me about His Royal Highness Prince Chen, so..."

Bai Zhiyuan said with a mocking tone: "Lord Sun, you are completely denying it."

Sun Xuran hurriedly explained, "I really don't know. The county lady and the general were frightened today. Come! Quickly clean up the place and ask the coroner to come and find out where these people came from and what their identities are."

Xie Yunsong looked at him with a smile.
