Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

The northern border is covered with endless yellow sand.

This was Bai Zhiyuan's first time in the Northern Territory, and everything was new to her.

At this time, a forty-year-old man with a full beard, a sturdy build and wearing a dark brown cloth saw Xie Yunsong and clasped his fists.

He said: "General, you have worked hard all the way. You are finally back."

Xie Yunsong asked: "Have all the new recruits arrived?"

The man said, "Everyone has arrived this morning. We have already set up camp and are resting. We will start formal training tomorrow."

Xie Yunsong nodded and said, "They have already trained for a while in Shangjing. They have traveled a long way over the past three months and everyone has worked hard. I will prepare some delicious food for everyone today and then start the training tomorrow."

The man said, "Yes." He then cast a curious look at Bai Zhiyuan and Qin Jinan beside her.

Xie Yunsong introduced him, "This is the current Princess Rong'an, and the daughter of General Weiyuan."

"As for this one, he is Qin Haiyi's grandson, Qin Jin'an, who once fought with my grandfather and father. From now on, he will follow us in the northern border."

Then, he said to Bai Zhiyuan and Qin Jinan, "This is my general - Cheng Tiankuo."

Bai Zhiyuan knew that he was one of the most respected generals under Xie Yunsong, who was brave and good at fighting and had a great reputation.

Bai Zhiyuan smiled and said, "So this is General Cheng. I have heard of your great name, and now that I have met you today, I realize that you are indeed extraordinary."

Cheng Tiankuo laughed and said, "So she is the daughter of General Weiyuan. Not bad, not bad."

There was no mention of why General Weiyuan's daughter came here.

Xie Yunsong thought to himself: Bai Zhiyuan always has a way to make anyone like her. Cheng Tiankuo has always disliked women in the military camp. When Shen Zhiyi came, he objected to this. Unexpectedly, he met Bai Zhiyuan today and had a good chat with her.

Xie Yunsong put away his thoughts, introduced Qin Jinan to Lu Zhiling and Zhou Yehan who came over, and handed the person over to Lu Zhiling for settlement.

Then he walked into his tent. The tent was simply furnished with a bed, a desk, a stool, a box, and some daily necessities. He lit a candle, took off his coat, sat alone in front of the desk, looked at the letter on the table for a long time, and slowly opened it and began to read.

Bai Zhiyuan's tent was right next to his.

After a moment, Xie Yunsong walked out of the tent and stood in the darkness, his eyes cast towards the dark mountains under the northern night sky. After standing for a moment, he turned and walked towards Bai Zhiyuan's tent.

The light in the tent was off. I wondered if she was asleep.

Xie Yunsong reached out and knocked on the door gently, but still no one answered. It was so late, where had she gone again?

Xie Yunsong thought for a moment, turned around and walked outside, just in time to meet Shen Zhiyi who came out of the tent.

Shen Zhiyi saw him, surprise flashed in her eyes, she stepped forward and asked: "Yun Song, it's so late, where are you going?"

Xie Yunsong said calmly: "I couldn't sleep, so I just took a walk."

Shen Zhiyi said gently: "Then I will walk around with you."

Xie Yunsong said coldly: "No need."

Shen Zhiyi was stunned. Xie Yunsong had already walked a long way away.

Shen Zhiyi bit her lip, but finally followed slowly.

Xie Yunsong walked around the tent but didn't see Bai Zhiyuan. He turned around and walked towards the martial arts training ground. Before he got there, he heard Bai Zhiyuan's voice coming from the front.

Xie Yunsong walked over silently and saw that in the huge martial arts arena, there were only Bai Zhiyuan and Qin Jinan, who were practicing sword together.

The air around Xie Yunsong suddenly turned cold. He stared at Bai Zhiyuan without blinking, his eyes as sharp and deep as if they contained a knife.

Shen Zhiyi stood behind her, watching the two people on the martial arts field, and she was originally filled with joy. But when she looked up, she saw Xie Yunsong's eyes suddenly turned cold, and she was stunned.

She had been with Xie Yunsong for quite some time, and seeing him like this, she keenly sensed that he did not like the scene in front of him, and was even a little angry.

But why did he feel angry when he saw a man and a woman in the martial arts field? Most likely there was only one reason, that is, he liked the woman in the field, and seeing her alone with another man in the middle of the night, he became jealous.

Shen Zhiyi felt an endless bitterness in his heart.

At this moment, Bai Zhiyuan saw Xie Yunsong. She stopped, looked surprised for a moment, and then slowly walked over.

Qin Jinan on the other side also saw Xie Yunsong, his expression was a little stiff.

Bai Zhiyuan approached him, looked up and asked, "General Xie, why are you here? Why aren't you resting so late?"

After saying this, Bai Zhiyuan immediately felt the coldness emanating from the person in front of him. Xie Yunsong said coldly, "You couldn't sleep, so you came out for a walk. It's not like Miss Bai, a man and a woman alone still have the leisure to practice swords here so late at night."

Bai Zhiyuan was stunned and thought to himself, this guy must be sick. I took your men to practice sword skills, and it’s fine if you are not grateful to me, but why are you so sarcastic?

As she thought about it, she said with a somewhat dissatisfied tone, "General Xie, you forgot that on the way to the Northern Territory, Young Master Qin once said that he heard that I had been learning martial arts since I was young, and hoped to spar with me so that we could learn from each other and improve together. You were there at the time, but you didn't say anything. Why do you seem so angry now?"

Xie Yunsong looked at her coldly, with a hint of sneer on his lips: "He will have plenty of time to practice martial arts in the future. Does he have to choose to practice martial arts alone in the middle of the night?"

Qin Jinan was startled and said hurriedly, "General, don't blame Ayuan. I was the one who asked her to practice sword with me. I also heard about Ayuan's defeat of Princess Changle in Yuehua Town before. I was curious for a moment, so..."

Ah Yuan? When Xie Yunsong heard him say this, his face turned even colder.

He looked at Qin Jinan expressionlessly and said, "Since you have such good energy, start tomorrow and double your training volume."

Qin Jinan didn't dare to refute and could only lower his head and said, "Yes." He turned and walked down the platform and into the tent.

Bai Zhiyuan pursed his lips and said nothing, but the dissatisfaction in his eyes could not be ignored.

Seeing this, Xie Yunsong said coldly, "Mind your own business. There are so many people in the North Territory. If everyone comes to you to spar in the middle of the night, what will Miss Bai do?"

Bai Zhiyuan keenly sensed that this person was in a bad mood today. Xie Yunsong was really getting weirder and weirder. Why was he always acting weird these days?

Xie Yunsong was cold as ice, and Bai Zhiyuan was also dissatisfied. She had done nothing wrong, so why did she have to coax him every time?

Bai Zhiyuan saw Shen Zhiyi standing behind him, and he felt annoyed. How can you two come here alone in the middle of the night, but I can't?

When Bai Zhiyuan thought of this, anger surged in her heart. She glared at Xie Yunsong fiercely, pushed him away, and walked towards the tent without looking back.

Xie Yunsong's expression became even uglier. He stood there quietly for a moment before turning around and walking back.

When he turned around, he saw Shen Zhiyi standing there. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He asked, "Miss Shen has been here all the time?"

Shen Zhiyi smiled bitterly and said, "Yun Song, I have been standing behind you for a long time. Normally, you would have noticed that I was following you. But today, your attention was attracted by Bai Zhiyuan."

She raised her eyes, the sadness in her eyes could not be concealed: "Yun Song, do you like Bai Zhiyuan?"

Xie Yunsong was silent for a moment, his eyes moved slightly.

He stood in the night, with a cold look in his eyes, his figure was handsome and tall, and his eyes were dark.

He said calmly: "It's getting late, Miss Shen, go back and rest early."

After saying this, he turned around and walked towards the tent without looking back.

Shen Zhiyi's heart was filled with sadness. He did not admit it, but he did not deny it either. But she seemed to already know the answer.

Shen Zhiyi slowly squatted down, buried his head in his arms, and sobbed softly without restraint.

After a while, she raised her red eyes and wiped away her tears. During the years of chasing Xie Yunsong, there were times of despair, but every time she told herself that one day Xie Yunsong would see her good side.

This time too.

So what if Xie Yunsong was attracted to someone else? Bai Zhiyuan didn't seem to care at all and didn't even notice his attraction.

Shen Zhiyi thought silently that she had not lost yet and she still had a chance.

She stood up and walked back slowly.
