Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince Chapter 230 Crisis

In the dead of winter, the floor heating in the house is burning warmly.

Bai Zhiyuan sat in front of the mirror and put on her makeup early in the morning. Ling Xiao was behind her, tying her hair up, and asked, "Miss, did you not sleep well last night? Why are your eyes dark today?"

Bai Zhiyuan curled her lips. After Xie Yunsong left last night, she no longer felt sleepy. All she could think about were the memories of their time together. Unconsciously, the sky began to turn white. Thinking of their appointment today, she decided not to sleep anymore and got up to go to the appointment.

In fact, Bai Zhiyuan didn’t know why she finally agreed to let Xie Yunsong accompany him to see his master. Maybe she softened her heart in the end.

Seeing that Bai Zhiyuan didn't answer, Ling Xiao asked again, "Miss, you are acting strange today. And why didn't I see Tianxun this morning? Wasn't he guarding you last night?"

Bai Zhiyuan replied: "Tianxun has returned to Xie's house and will not come again."

Ling Xiao trembled, and the force on his hand became a little too strong, causing Bai Zhiyuan to feel pain.

Ling Xiao reacted and said quickly: "I'm sorry, Miss."

Bai Zhiyuan turned around and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Ling Xiao."

Ling Xiao stammered, "I'm fine, Miss. I... I just heard you say that Tianxun went back, and I felt very... uh... very happy. Finally, no one makes me angry every day."

"Yes, that's it. Miss... I feel happy when I hear this..."

Bai Zhiyuan felt strange when he saw Ling Xiao like this, and suddenly reacted and said, "Ling Xiao, you are not in love with Tianxun, are you?"

Ling Xiao blushed and explained hurriedly: "How could it be? Miss, you don't know how much I hate him. He is obviously from the Xie Mansion, but he stays in our house all day and opposes me everywhere..."

Bai Zhiyuan stared at her without blinking, and became more and more certain of her thoughts. In these days, she had not noticed Ling Xiao's abnormality at all. She often quarreled with Tianxun, and she never thought that Ling Xiao would actually fall in love with Tianxun.

In this case, she was angry and drove Tianxun away last night, which was an act of impulse.

Ling Xiao was still stumbling over his explanation, Bai Zhiyuan smiled gently and said, "Ling Xiao, stop talking. There's nothing wrong with liking someone, and Tianxun is a very good man. If you like him, I'll call him back."

Ling Xiao paused, then said, "Is it really possible, Miss?"

Bai Zhiyuan laughed and said, "Of course you can, but don't scold people away this time."

Ling Xiao was a little shy and said, "Miss..."

Bai Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Okay, comb your hair quickly, and help me pick out some clothes for traveling. I'm going to Mount Zhongnan."

Ling Xiao was startled and said, "Okay, I'll go with you, Miss."

Bai Zhiyuan: "No need, I will go alone."

Ling Xiao: "Miss..."

Bai Zhiyuan smiled and said, "It's okay, don't worry."

Ling Xiao had no choice but to give up, and quickly combed Bai Zhiyuan's hair, and picked out a neat set of clothes for Bai Zhiyuan.

Bai Zhiyuan packed up and went out.

As soon as she came out, Ling Xiao called her from behind: "Miss!"

Bai Zhiyuan turned around and saw Ling Xiao holding a pure white fox fur brocade cape. She recognized this cape, which was the birthday gift Xie Yunsong gave her when she was a 15-year-old. Ling Xiao had kept it carefully.

Seeing her in a daze, Ling Xiao said, "Miss, it's been freezing these days. I think this cloak is both warm and pretty, why don't you wear it today?"

While Bai Zhiyuan was slightly distracted, Ling Xiao had already put the cloak on her. Under the sunlight, it shone with colorful lights, making Bai Zhiyuan look even more beautiful.

Bai Zhiyuan glanced at the cloak, and his thoughts went back to the spring hunting in Mount Li that year, when Xie Yunsong hunted the white fox.

Seeing her in a daze, Ling Xiao asked tentatively, "Miss?"

Bai Zhiyuan came back to his senses and said, "Forget it, let's just take this one."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao happily tied a cloak for Bai Zhiyuan.

Bai Zhiyuan did not stay any longer, as Xia Qing had already prepared a horse for her. It was already dawn, and she jumped on the horse and galloped towards the outskirts of Shangjing.

When she got out of the city, Xie Yunsong was already waiting for her on the road outside the city.

Seeing her coming from afar, the joy in his eyes never faded. When she rode closer on horseback, Xie Yunsong recognized at a glance that this was the cloak he gave to Bai Zhiyuan that day, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

Bai Zhiyuan: "Sorry for the long wait, thank you General. Let's go, the sooner we go, the sooner we can return."

Xie Yunsong lowered his eyes, hiding the lost light in his eyes, and nodded: "Let's go!"

The two horses rode side by side and ran away into the distance.

Because it was winter and it had just snowed, there was thick snow on both sides of the official road.

Two horses galloped across the snow, leaving behind two lines of deep and shallow footprints.

They walked in silence all the way, and in half a day, they arrived at Mount Zhongnan.

When the two entered Mount Zhongnan, the orphans that the master had adopted were very happy to see them coming together, and they chattered non-stop.

"Sister Ayuan, we miss you so much."

"Sister Ayuan, can you stay here for a few more days?"

"Sister Ayuan, are you with Brother Yunsong?" Someone shouted in the crowd, and the children started to make a fuss.

Bai Zhiyuan finally calmed the children down and was about to take Xie Yunsong to see his master, but when he turned around, he saw Xie Yunsong's eyes curved and his lips curled up in a smile.

Bai Zhiyuan asked inexplicably: "What are you laughing at?"

Xie Yunsong's eyes moved, but he still smiled as before, and said, "This seems to be the first time that Ayuan and I have come to Zhongnan Mountain together."

Bai Zhiyuan searched her mind carefully and it seemed to be true. She had never seen Xie Yunsong in Zhongnan Mountain, so she had no idea that he was also a master and disciple.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Bai Zhiyuan then brought Xie Yunsong to Master Qingyi's tomb.

Xie Yunsong knelt in front of Master Qingyi's grave. Thinking of the tragic death of his master, he was overwhelmed with grief.

He knelt in front of the grave and burned some paper money for his master. Bai Zhiyuan knelt beside him and heard Xie Yunsong say, "I violated the master's will. Before he died, he told me to take good care of you, but I didn't do it."

Bai Zhiyuan stretched out his hand and lit a piece of paper money. He watched it slowly burn out in front of his master's grave before he spoke: "Master had no children in his life, so he should have had no worries, but he was thinking about you and me when he was dying. I think the only thing he was worried about was you and me. Now that you and I are here to see him, Master will feel relieved in his grave."

After the two visited their master, Xie Yunsong took another tour of Mount Zhongnan. He said with emotion: "The time I spent learning in Mount Zhongnan was probably the most relaxing and comfortable time in my life. But when I returned to the old place, everything and everyone had changed."

Bai Zhiyuan: "The days here are also the most relaxing days for me."

The two stood side by side on the top of Mount Zhongnan for a long time. The cold wind was rustling, but no one said they wanted to leave. The snow that had accumulated in the past few days had covered Mount Zhongnan with a thick layer of snow, making the scenery even more pleasant.

After a long while, Bai Zhiyuan said, "It's getting late, let's go."

Xie Yunsong nodded, and the two of them said goodbye to the orphan from Zhongnan Mountain. Then they mounted their horses and headed towards Shangjing again.

In the depths of winter, it gets dark earlier and the sky is dark in the distance, as if another snowstorm is coming.

The two men rode their horses on their way. It was freezing cold and there were few pedestrians on the road.

When they reached a secluded place, the surroundings began to become pitch black. Bai Zhiyuan's horse shook violently, and she immediately realized something was wrong.

Xie Yunsong also turned his head to look at her, and when their eyes met, they both immediately realized that there was danger around them.

Almost at the same time, the two of them pulled the reins hard, and the horses neighed and kicked their hooves.

In the darkness, the surroundings were silent, but Xie Yunsong and Bai Zhiyuan were both martial artists, and they both keenly noticed that there seemed to be ambushes around them.

It seemed as if snow was about to come in the sky. Only a little bit of faint moonlight shining through the clouds allowed Bai Zhiyuan to vaguely see the surrounding environment.

There were mostly dead grass and dead trees all around, so it was easy to hide people.

Bai Zhiyuan looked at Xie Yunsong and saw Xie Yunsong nodded to her. Bai Zhiyuan understood and pulled the reins. The two of them rushed out quickly together.

But before they had taken a few steps, a large group of men in black wearing black night clothes appeared in front of them and blocked their way.

The two men reined in their horses and stopped. The next second, the sound of horse hooves could be heard behind them in the wind.

Bai Zhiyuan turned her head and saw a man on horseback slowly approaching her a few dozen meters behind her.

Bai Zhiyuan immediately exuded a murderous aura. In the darkness, she couldn't see his face clearly, but she was very familiar with this person. It was her enemy in her previous life - King Qi Zeyi of Yan.
