Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

After lunch, Bai Zhiyuan stood in front of the tent. It had been more than three months since he left Shangjing. He had not received any letter from Ling Xiao and wondered how Shangjing was doing now.

It's the end of summer and the weather in Tianshui has become a little cool. The weather at the border is different from that in Beijing. It's probably still sunny in Beijing right now.

At this moment, Xiaoshan, Zhang Hu and his brothers were about to return to their tent after dinner when they saw Bai Zhiyuan and came up to greet them.

"County Lady, what are you standing there for?" Xiaoshan asked.

Bai Zhiyuan looked at them and said with a smile: "Brother Xiaoshan, I told you that you can still call me Brother Bai."

Zhang Hu hurriedly said, "County Lady, we dare not. I had some disagreements with you before, but I was blind and did not recognize you. Please forgive me, County Lady."

Bai Zhiyuan glanced at him and said calmly, "It's okay. It's just that in the military camp, you shouldn't bully the weak by relying on your strength. Since you all came to join the army, you should unite as one. I hope you won't bully the weak anymore."

Zhang Hu groaned in his heart, wondering how he could have offended the noble man in front of him. He bowed his head and said humbly, "I will remember the county magistrate's teachings."

Bai Zhiyuan stopped looking at him and turned to Xiaoshan and said, "Xiaoshan, we will soon reach the North. After we get there, the veterans will lead the new recruits to continue training. You must be prepared to endure hardships."

She lowered her voice and said, "I heard that General Xie's training is very strict, and ordinary people can't bear it. But it's true, you are all going to the battlefield, and the swords on the battlefield are blind. If you don't train better, won't you be killed in vain on the battlefield?"

Xiao Shan said, "Before I joined the army, I heard that General Yun Hui was strict in his military discipline. I think this is why the general has won every battle."

Bai Zhiyuan said: "You are right. Anyway, tell the brothers to have a good rest today. Severe training will begin soon. Let them be mentally prepared."

Xiao Shan said, "Yes. Thank you for your concern, County Lord."

Bai Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Xiaoshan, you are here again."

Xiao Shan scratched his head and said, "Yes, Brother Bai."

Bai Zhiyuan laughed heartily.

Wang Shi came over after hearing the noise. Wang Shi was older and more stable. He walked over and said, "Xiao Shan, what did you talk to the county lady about? The county lady looked so happy."

Xiao Shan said, "We didn't say anything, County Lord. Oh, no, Brother Bai said that after arriving in the northern border, we new soldiers will start rigorous training again, so we should be mentally prepared."

Wang Shi said: "It should be so."

Seeing Bai Zhiyuan ready to go, he asked, "County Lady, where are you going?"

Bai Zhiyuan replied: "My brother, thank you General for letting me go to Yuehua Town with him to do some work. You guys go ahead tomorrow, and after I finish my work with him, I will go to the northern border to meet you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a soft female voice rang out: "Are you and General Xie the only ones here?"

Everyone turned around and saw that it was indeed Shen Zhiyi. Shen Zhiyi was standing in the sun, holding a basket full of herbs, like a fairy descending to earth.

Even Bai Zhiyuan was distracted when he looked at her. The men in the barracks were really pleased to see such a beautiful female doctor. She replied, "Tianlin was sent by General Xie to carry out a mission. I think it will be just the two of us going to Yuehua Town this time."

Shen Zhiyi's body stiffened.

Bai Zhiyuan didn't realize that her expression was wrong at all. She continued, "Sister Shen, you and the team will go to the northern border first. When General Xie and I finish our business, we will go to the northern border to meet up with you."

It would have been fine if she hadn't said this. Once she said this, Shen Zhiyi's expression became even uglier, and a hint of anger appeared on her usually gentle face. She glanced at Bai Zhiyuan coldly, and without even saying goodbye, she turned around and left with the basket.

Bai Zhiyuan was puzzled. She and Shen Zhiyi were not very close, but they had always been on good terms and kept to themselves. What happened to her?

Bai Zhiyuan discussed with his brothers why Shen Zhiyi was angry.

Wang Shi said, "This is not difficult. The feelings of this medical girl Shen towards our general are obvious, but General Xie and the county lady are going alone this time, so this medical girl Shen might be jealous."

Zhang Hu said, "I heard that Doctor Shen's father wanted to marry his daughter to General Xie a long time ago, and General Xie has never rejected Doctor Shen for so many years, so he must be interested in her. This is a consensual relationship, and perhaps after they return to the capital after pacifying the northern border, they will soon get married."

Bai Zhiyuan felt bitter in his heart and subconsciously retorted, "How is that possible? General Xie doesn't usually get close to women, and I don't think he has much contact with Sister Shen."

Zhang Hu said, "County Lady, you are still young and don't understand men's minds. If such an excellent and beautiful woman accompanies him tenderly every day and fights with him in battles, even the coldest man will be moved and feel pity for her. The fact that General Xie did not drive her away proves it."

Bai Zhiyuan pursed her lips and said nothing, feeling that their words were a little harsh.

Everyone became very interested and started discussing when Xie Yunsong and Shen Zhiyi would get married, and how well they matched each other. They didn't notice Bai Zhiyuan's stiff expression at all.

"Are you guys free?" A cold voice sounded behind him.

Everyone looked back and saw that Xie Yunsong had come over, followed by Lu Zhiling and Shen Zhiyi who was carrying a medicine basket.

Everyone was frightened into silence, not daring to say a word.

Xie Yunsong walked forward, his dark blue robe making him look handsome and handsome. He scanned everyone with sharp eyes, especially when he glanced at Bai Zhiyuan, he exuded a cold chill.

Bai Zhiyuan felt uneasy when he looked at her. She looked at Xie Yunsong, only to see him looking at her expressionlessly, with a hint of sneer on his face: "As a county lady, you hang out with new soldiers all day long. Why don't you leave now?"

Bai Zhiyuan could sense Xie Yunsong's dissatisfaction, but why? He had said that he had no interest in Shen Zhiyi, but perhaps he was angry when he heard everyone discussing the two of them.

Bai Zhiyuan looked up and saw the two of them standing in front of him, as if they were made for each other.

In their previous life, the emperor clearly granted them a marriage. Why did Xie Yunsong say in this life that he had no interest in her?

Bai Zhiyuan lowered his head and thought intently.

From Xie Yunsong's perspective, she felt sad for a moment because she thought she had spoken too harshly. He sighed slightly, took out a letter from his pocket, and said in a soft tone, "I just received a letter from Shangjing, which seems to be sent from your house."

Bai Zhiyuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately forgot the unpleasantness he had just felt. He took the letter and read it carefully.

It’s a letter from Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao expressed his worry and longing for her in the letter. Bai Zhiyuan could imagine the look on her face as she wrote the letter. It had been three months since she left Shangjing, and she missed Ling Xiao a little.

Ling Xiao also talked about what happened in Prince Yan's Mansion in the letter. She had been sending people to monitor the Prince Yan's Mansion. She said in the letter: Chenxiang seemed to be pregnant.

After Bai Zhiyuan quickly read the letter, he looked up at Xie Yunsong with a smile and said, "General Xie, can we set off now?"

The people standing around felt that the atmosphere had become more relaxed and quickly slipped away.

Shen Zhiyi stood behind Xie Yunsong, looking at his tall figure, feeling an indescribable bitterness in his heart.

She knew from the beginning that Xie Yunsong didn't like her.

She looked gloomy, but there was a hint of doubt in her. Xie Yunsong usually did not show his emotions on his face, and he did not care much about many things. However, when it came to Bai Zhiyuan's affairs, he would have many emotions that she had never seen before.

Why is that?
