In the next few days, Bai Zhiyuan lived very comfortably, following Xie Yunsong and the large army, heading northward, getting closer and closer to the northern border.

After several days of traveling, the large army approached Tianshui, a small town not far from the northern border.

After passing Tianshui, we arrived at the garrison in the northern border.

As it was getting dark that day, Xie Yunsong ordered his men to set up camp outside the city near Tianshui.

Bai Zhiyuan had just laid down in her tent to rest when she heard Xie Yunsong say at the door, "Miss Bai, can I come in?"

Bai Zhiyuan jumped up and was wondering why Xie Yunsong came. Usually she would go to see Xie Yunsong when she had nothing to do. This man always looked cold, but today he actually came to see her on his own initiative.

Bai Zhiyuan cleared his throat and said, "Come in!"

Xie Yunsong opened the curtain, and following the moonlight, Bai Zhiyuan saw him wearing a black robe, with a handsome face, walking in slowly. Her heart suddenly seemed to skip a beat.

It was not until Xie Yunsong walked in front of her that she looked away, secretly wondering when she had been bewitched by the beauty of the man in front of her.

Bai Zhiyuan collected his thoughts and asked, "General Xie, what do you want to see me about?"

Xie Yunsong looked at her motionlessly, and after a moment he looked her up and down. Bai Zhiyuan didn't understand, so he coughed twice and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Xie Yunsong's eyes were unfathomable. He stared at her for a long while, which made Bai Zhiyuan's hair stand on end. She said in dissatisfaction, "Xie Yunsong, what are you looking at?"

She raised her eyebrows again, covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Xie Yunsong, you look at me like this, are you in love with me?"

Xie Yunsong was speechless, and laughed sarcastically before saying, "Miss Bai is quite confident."

Bai Zhiyuan endured it and said, "Then why are you staring at me?"

Xie Yunsong smiled and said, "Of course I came to you to ask for something."

Bai Zhiyuan sneered, "Is this your attitude of asking for help?"

Xie Yunsong just smiled and said nothing.

Bai Zhiyuan could no longer bear it and said, "What's the matter? Tell me quickly. We are alone in a room in the middle of the night. General Xie doesn't care about his reputation, but I do."

Xie Yunsong raised his eyebrows and curled his lips sarcastically, "Miss Bai, when you disguised yourself as a man and entered our military camp, and lived in the same room with many new recruits day and night, why didn't you think about your reputation?"

Bai Zhiyuan was so angry that he said, "If you had agreed to bring me to the Northern Territory earlier, would I have resorted to such a desperate measure? You are still mocking me now, Xie Yunsong, do you have any conscience?"

Xie Yunsong was at a loss for what to do when he saw her angry. He said awkwardly, "I was just joking, Miss Bai, don't mind it."

Bai Zhiyuan turned around and said coldly: "I don't want to see you now, get out!"

Xie Yunsong was stunned, looking at Bai Zhiyuan's angry back, finally sighed, and walked out on his own.

When Bai Zhiyuan saw him leave, his anger grew even more intense.

Xie Yunsong stood in front of Bai Zhiyuan's tent. He didn't know why she suddenly got angry. He was kicked out before he could finish what he wanted to say.

As luck would have it, Cheng Beixiao came looking for him. Seeing him standing in front of Bai Zhiyuan's tent with a dark complexion, he asked curiously, "Yun Song, what are you doing standing in front of Miss Bai's tent? Why don't you go in?"

Xie Yunsong looked at him dimly, his dark eyes revealing confusion.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Cheng Beixiao opened Bai Zhiyuan's tent door and walked in, but saw that Bai Zhiyuan was angry and pushed him out.

Cheng Beixiao was stunned for a moment. After he reacted, he started laughing and said, "Xie Yunsong, you have come to this day too. You were actually kicked out by a woman. Hahaha..."

Xie Yunsong's face turned dark. He ignored him and turned to walk towards his tent.

Cheng Beixiao suppressed his smile and followed.

As soon as he entered the door, Cheng Beixiao couldn't help but ask: "Tell me, how did you make Miss Bai angry?"

Xie Yunsong sat at the desk, frowning and saying nothing.

Cheng Beixiao's eyes flashed with an ambiguous smile, and he asked, "Did Miss Bai express her feelings to you? And was she angry and embarrassed after you rejected her on the spot?"

Xie Yunsong rolled his eyes at him and ignored him.

Cheng Beixiao asked curiously, "What is it for? I'm so curious, please tell me." He shook Xie Yunsong's arm as he spoke.

Xie Yunsong was annoyed by what he said and stood up to chase him out.

Seeing this, Cheng Beixiao hurriedly said, "If you tell me, I will find a way to make Miss Bai happy. It's just coaxing women, I'm the best at it."

Xie Yunsong paused. Cheng Beixiao knew that there was something going on, so he sat down and poured himself a cup of tea. He smiled and said, "Go ahead. Xie Yunsong, I didn't expect that you would have this day. You need me to help you with some strategies to please a woman."

Xie Yunsong glanced at him, and Cheng Beixiao felt the coldness in his eyes, shrank his neck, and said: "Okay, I won't say anything, tell me why Miss Bai is angry."

Xie Yunsong then sat down and told Cheng Beixiao everything that had just happened in the account.

After hearing this, Cheng Beixiao said with a look of disappointment: "Xie Yunsong, Xie Yunsong, what can I say about you? Women always care about their reputation the most, but you just keep bringing up all the issues."

"Besides, even if Miss Bai disguises herself as a man and lives with so many people, what's the harm? She is just following you. If you were not unwilling to take her with you in Shangjing before, would she have resorted to such a desperate measure?"

"She is a woman who followed you from afar. It would be fine if you didn't feel grateful, but you still said that about her. If I were her, I would be angry too."

Cheng Beixiao talked a lot.

Xie Yunsong said awkwardly: "I didn't mean it, but I didn't expect her to be so angry."

Cheng Beixiao thought for a moment and said, "That's right. Miss Bai is always smiling and rarely gets angry. This also shows from the side that she cares about your opinion of her. When you say this, she feels that in your heart, she is a casual woman, so she is naturally angry when she hears it."

"Xie Yunsong, tell me honestly, do you like Miss Bai?"

"Miss Bai is a perfect match for you in terms of family background, appearance, and martial arts. If you like her, tell her as soon as possible, otherwise she will end up like Shen Zhiyi, desperately pursuing you but to no avail."

Xie Yunsong was stunned for a moment, and after a moment he said: "Miss Bai is different from Miss Shen. She is not following me. She is just tired of life in the capital and wants to experience life in the north."

Cheng Beixiao said angrily, "Xie Yunsong, are you really stupid or are you just pretending to be stupid? If she didn't have any interest in you, why would she follow you? She can go to the southern border by herself."

Xie Yunsong wanted to say something, but Cheng Beixiao said, "Maybe Miss Bai herself is not clear about her feelings for you. When will the two of you finally get married? People involved are often confused, but I can see clearly for you. You two have feelings for each other, but you just haven't realized it yet."

Xie Yunsong's eyes were slightly absent-minded. After a long while, he said calmly, "You haven't told me how to coax her yet?"

Cheng Beixiao returned to his usual carefree attitude and said with a smile, "It's easy. Just go in and hug her and say to her: My sweetheart, don't be angry. It's all my fault. I promise, she won't be angry anymore."

Xie Yunsong suppressed his anger and said, "If you say one more word, I will throw you out immediately."

Cheng Beixiao quickly fell silent and didn't dare to say anything else. He believed that Xie Yunsong would really throw him out.

After a while, Cheng Beixiao saw that Xie Yunsong's expression had eased, so he flattered her, "To coax a girl, take her out for a walk, and buy her some rouge, powder, small jewelry, etc. She will definitely be happy."

Hearing Cheng Beixiao say this, Xie Yunsong recalled that day in Youzhou when Bai Zhiyuan was wandering around with a happy smile on his face.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Cheng Beixiao, his eyes full of warning.

Seeing this, Cheng Beixiao hurriedly stood up and said, "I've told you how to coax her. It's getting late, so I'll go back first. Yunsong, you should also go to bed early. I look forward to you and Miss Bai shaking hands and making peace tomorrow."

After saying that, he winked at Xie Yunsong and quickly left before Xie Yunsong got angry.

After Cheng Beixiao left, Xie Yunsong shook his head. Then, as if he had thought of something, he stood up and found the hairpin that Bai Zhiyuan liked that he had bought in Youzhou that day in his luggage. He looked at it for a moment and put it back.

Xie Yunsong remembered what Cheng Beixiao said, and finally took out the hairpin and put it on himself.
