Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince Chapter 255 Like

The sky is as dark as ink and the night is dark.

Bai Zhiyuan's cloak rustled in the cold wind, and she didn't speak for a moment.

Seeing her silence, Heba Yun continued, "You are indeed smart. I always seem to be led by you in front of you. Ever since you left Nanman, I have been very curious about you. This time, I finally get to see your true face. It is my honor."

Bai Zhiyuan sneered, "You are the one who set the fire today, right? You took great pains to lure me here, what exactly do you want to do?"

Heba Yun looked at him with an unfathomable gaze and said, "Of course it's for you!"

"What did you say?" Bai Zhiyuan asked.

Heba Yun: "I came to Dali for you, the county lady."

"For me? You brought me here just to say this?" Bai Zhiyuan asked, "Just say what you want to say!"

Heba Yun smiled, his expression calmed down for a moment, "Since we parted at the Nanman Palace, I have been thinking about you. This time someone is coming to Dali to pay tribute, so I had an idea to pretend to be Heba Fei, just to see you. When I said in the palace today that I wanted to marry you, it was not just talk."

Bai Zhiyuan looked at him and said nothing.

"If you are willing, come back to Nanman with me," Heba Yun looked at her with a soft look, "What's the point of marrying a general of Dali? It's better to come with me and enjoy endless wealth and glory."

Bai Zhiyuan sneered: "You want to make me your concubine? Then why don't you just make me the queen?"

Heba Yun was stunned and said unnaturally: "You are a woman of the Dali period, so of course you cannot be the queen of the Nanman. But don't worry, except for the queen, your status must be the highest in the harem. With me here, no one dares to bully you."

Bai Zhiyuan was puzzled and asked, "You want to marry me because I know your secret? Are you afraid that people will know that you killed He Xiaowan?"

Heba Yun shook his head: "Of course not, I am already the emperor of the Nanman, what should I be afraid of? What's more, He Xiaowan should have died long ago."

Bai Zhiyuan sneered, "How can I believe you? You can even brutally kill a woman who has supported you and loved you for many years, let alone me, a woman from another country?"

Heba Yun was stunned and said, "I have come all the way here. Isn't that enough to prove my feelings? Is there any woman in the palace who is like you, worthy of me coming all the way here to express my feelings in person?"

Bai Zhiyuan's eyes were full of mockery, and he said, "Do you think if you do this, I will be grateful and leave with you?"

Heba Yun's eyes were filled with anger as he asked, "What do you want in exchange for your consent to marry me?"

Bai Zhiyuan sneered: "No matter what you do or what conditions you offer, I will not marry you, let alone go with you."

Heba Yun looked a little unbelievable and asked, "Why is this?"

Bai Zhiyuan replied: "I have someone I like."

"Is it General Yunhui?"

"That's right!" Bai Zhiyuan answered readily.

"What's so good about him? He's just a good-looking guy. Even if he knows how to fight and is invincible, you're getting married, so you should choose a man who is sincere to you."

Bai Zhiyuan said indifferently: "How do you know he is not a good person to me?"

Heba Yun: "If he really loves you, why would it take him so long to ask your Dali Emperor to grant you a marriage?"

Bai Zhiyuan said coldly: "This is a matter between us, it is not your turn to point fingers."

Heba Yun asked, "Is he the one who sneaked into my Nanman Palace with you? I have been wondering how you got in, but I can't find a clue. I know you must not be alone, maybe someone has been supporting you. Later, I heard that you liked General Yunhui, and I learned that he was also in the southern border during that time, so I guessed that he must have helped you."

Bai Zhiyuan said: "Yes, it's him."

Heba Yun: "I have never cared so much about a woman before. Are you really unwilling to go to the South Barbarians with me?"

Bai Zhiyuan said coldly: "Who are you worried about? What does it have to do with me?"

Heba Yun choked and said, "You...if it's possible, I will try my best to satisfy whatever you want, as long as you are willing to follow me..."

Before Bai Zhiyuan could say anything, he heard someone behind him sneer and say, "How shameless."

Bai Zhiyuan looked back and saw Xie Yunsong walking towards him with a cold look and a dark face.

Heba Yun smiled and said, "You came so quickly!"

Xie Yunsong stepped forward, took Bai Zhiyuan into his arms, and said coldly: "If the emperor of Nanman does not want to leave Shangjing, I don't mind asking the city garrison not far away to come and expose your true identity. If they find out that the person who set the fire today is you, it depends on whether you can leave by then."

Heba Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, as if thinking about his words, and then looked at Bai Zhiyuan, but there was no emotion in Bai Zhiyuan's eyes.

Heba Yun thought for a moment before saying, "Okay, since Princess Rong'an disdains my Southern Barbarian concubine, I will leave soon. But..."

Bai Zhiyuan continued, "Don't worry, we won't expose your identity. It won't do us any good. As for you, if you leave, don't come to Dali again."

Heba Yun stared at her quietly, as if he was unwilling to give in. Finally, he asked, "Can I know why you don't like me and why you like him?" He pointed his finger at Xie Yunsong.

Bai Zhiyuan was stunned. There was no reason to like someone.

Bai Zhiyuan lowered his eyes and thought, "Maybe it's because every time I need him, he is by my side!"

"As for you, I have never met you. I had no choice but to sneak into the palace in Nanman. My purpose was just to get the antidote. As for accidentally discovering your affair with He Xiaowan, that was just an accident. I don't want to meddle in other people's business. He Xiaowan is domineering and has always controlled you, but she is sincere to you. Now that you have obtained the position you want, I think you will probably never meet someone who is so sincere to you again."

Heba Yun was stunned for a moment before he said, "You know, He Xiaowan is my sister, and my relationship with her is not recognized by others."

Bai Zhiyuan: "I know, but what is most lacking in this world is often sincerity. You should go now. Dali and Nanman have been at war for many years, and now peace has finally come. If people knew that the emperor of Nanman had quietly arrived in Dali, who knows what would happen."

Heba Yun was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Don't worry, I will send someone to tell your Emperor Dali at dawn, and I will leave here. I will probably never come to Dali again in my lifetime, and you and I will probably never see each other again in this life."

He paused for a moment, and then continued, "I heard that the county lady is getting married soon, so I wish the county lady and your sweetheart, General Yun Hui, a long and happy marriage."

Without waiting for Bai Zhiyuan to speak, Xie Yunsong said coldly: "Thank you very much!"

Heba Yun looked at Bai Zhiyuan again. Bai Zhiyuan didn't say anything. Heba Yun retracted his gaze, turned his head to the person beside him, and said, "Let's go!"

After saying that, he gritted his teeth and finally strode away with his men.

After Heba Yun left, Bai Zhiyuan saw that Xie Yunsong looked a little unhappy, so he leaned closer to him and said, "Are you angry? I just saw someone sneaking around the river bank, so I chased after them to take a look. Halfway through, I realized that someone wanted to lure me here. I saw it when I fought with them. They didn't look like people from the Dali period, so I guessed who it was. I..."

Bai Zhiyuan raised her eyes and met his sparkling black eyes. She was distracted. Xie Yunsong held Bai Zhiyuan with one hand and pulled her towards him, holding her in his arms, and leaned over to kiss her.

The lights in the distance have been turned off, the river water on the shore is gurgling, the man's wide cloak blocks all the cold, and his lips fall on hers with gentle tenderness, and between her lips and teeth is the sweetness of the sesame rice dumplings she has just eaten.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still.

After a long time, Xie Yunsong let go of Bai Zhiyuan. Bai Zhiyuan was still immersed in the kiss just now, only to hear Xie Yunsong whispering firmly in her ear: "From now on, you will never be allowed to be in danger alone again."

Bai Zhiyuan whispered: "There is no danger. Heba Yun has no hostility..."

Xie Yunsong looked at her sharply and said, "You are not allowed to meet other men alone again, especially men who have improper thoughts about you!"

Bai Zhiyuan chuckled when he heard this, but still agreed obediently: "Okay!"

Xie Yunsong's expression softened a bit, and he said, "Let's go. I'll take you home. Your brother and the others are all fine. They've all returned home. They didn't even go on the boat. They just went home after enjoying the lanterns. As for the fire, there are lanterns everywhere today, and the wind is strong on the river. They can't find anything on Heba Yun. Don't worry!"

Bai Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Of course I feel at ease with you here."

Xie Yunsong curled his lips, took her hand, and walked back slowly together.

Behind them was the warm night and the moon at the top of the sky, stretching the two's shadows very long.
