Chapter 318 General Bai Yufei
Speaking of Bai Zhi's husband, General Bai Yufei, his story is quite legendary! The story begins ten years ago when Bai Zhi and her sister Fu Ling followed Gu Mochen, Ye Qingchen, and a force of two thousand men northward to explore the local customs and culture.
It was a journey full of unknowns and adventures. They traversed countless mountains and rivers, enduring all sorts of hardships and dangers. And it was in this unfamiliar northern land that they unexpectedly met Bai Yufei. At that time, Bai Yufei was just a minor general among these two thousand men, unknown and obscure, but possessing an indomitable spirit.
When the troops stepped into that desolate northern land, the swirling sandstorms made it almost impossible to open their eyes. All they could see was barrenness and desolation, a sight that chilled them to the bone. However, the sisters Bai Zhi and Fu Ling, despite being women, were not intimidated by the harsh environment.
Bai Zhi's face was gentle and graceful, like a spring breeze, soft and warm; yet her eyes revealed a resolute determination, as if she could face any difficulty with equanimity. Fu Ling, on the other hand, was like a lively little deer, full of curiosity about everything around her. Her laughter, like silver bells, was clear and melodious, bringing a touch of life to this dull journey.
As a junior officer, Bai Yufei shouldered the heavy responsibility of leading a small team to scout ahead for the main force. He led from the front, bravely walking at the very front, inspiring the soldiers behind him with his actions. In this difficult environment, he demonstrated exceptional leadership and unwavering perseverance.
And so they persevered, finally following Ye Qingchen to the northernmost military region of Mobei. Although the environment there remained harsh, it possessed a unique tranquility and solemnity.
One day, the troops were camped in a valley when they suddenly heard a strange sound in the distance, like the roar of a wild beast mixed with the sound of wind. Bai Yufei immediately became alert and led several soldiers to investigate. Ye Qingchen sent Bai Zhi and Fuling to see what was happening. When Bai Zhi went to investigate, she found a pack of wolves trapped in a snare, struggling frantically, their eyes gleaming with ferocity. There were also some strange markings around the snare, as if someone had deliberately placed them there. Bai Yufei realized this might be a trap and was about to order a retreat when suddenly a group of people dressed in strange clothes and wielding weapons rushed out from all around the valley and charged towards them.
"Everyone be careful!" Bai Yufei shouted, quickly drawing his sword and engaging the attacker in combat. Bai Zhi watched the battle nervously, silently praying for everyone's safety. In the chaos, an enemy attacked Bai Zhi. Just as she was about to defend herself, Bai Yufei, with lightning speed, rushed forward and shielded her, deflecting the fatal blow with his sword. "Miss Bai, are you alright?" Bai Yufei asked with concern as he fought off the enemy. Bai Zhi could have done it herself, but she felt embarrassed that someone had helped her. She shook her head, looking at the man who had risked his life for her, a unique warmth welling up in her heart.
After a fierce battle, the troops successfully repelled the mysterious group, but some soldiers were wounded. Bai Zhi and Fu Ling immediately busied themselves at Ye Qingchen's request, treating the wounded. Although Bai Yufei also suffered some minor injuries, he disregarded his own and assisted Bai Zhi, helping to pass on herbs and care for the wounded. During this process, Bai Zhi and Bai Yufei interacted more frequently, and she discovered that Bai Yufei was not only highly skilled in martial arts but also thoughtful and caring towards the soldiers.
Later, braving the heavy snow, they arrived at a tribe in Mobei. The tribespeople were wary of them, and the atmosphere was tense. To clear up the misunderstanding, Gu Mochen and Ye Qingchen, along with several generals, went to negotiate with the tribal chief, including Bai Yufei. Bai Zhi stayed at the camp, observing the tribe's situation. She discovered that some people in the tribe seemed to be suffering from illnesses but were not receiving effective treatment. Out of her kind nature, Bai Zhi took some Fuling and other herbs and tried to help the sick. At first, the tribespeople were suspicious of them, but Bai Zhi patiently explained and demonstrated the medicinal effects of the herbs. Gradually, the tribespeople began to accept their help, and their attitude softened.
By chance, Bai Zhi learned that Bai Yufei had been saved by an elder from this tribe when he was a child. Bai Yufei had always been grateful to the elder, but they had lost contact afterward. Bai Zhi told Bai Yufei this news, and he was very excited and decided to find the elder. With the help of the tribespeople, Bai Yufei finally found the elder's home. The elder was old and frail, but his eyes were full of relief when he saw Bai Yufei. In front of the elder, Bai Yufei was like a child, recounting his experiences over the years. The elder was deeply moved and urged Bai Yufei to be a good person and serve the country and its people.
However, the peaceful days didn't last long. The tribe was suddenly attacked by a powerful force, which came on strong and the tribe was powerless to resist. Upon receiving the news, Bai Yufei and his troops rushed to provide support. On the battlefield, Bai Yufei took the lead, leading his soldiers in a desperate fight against the enemy. Bai Zhi and Fu Ling did not retreat either; they set up a temporary medical point in the rear, treating the wounded tribesmen and soldiers. The battle was extremely fierce. Bai Yufei charged left and right on the battlefield, sustaining multiple wounds, but he still showed no sign of retreating. Bai Zhi watched Bai Yufei on the battlefield from the rear, her heart filled with worry. She continuously treated the wounded, hoping that more people could regain their strength and return to the fight.
After several days and nights of fierce fighting, the troops and tribes finally managed to repel the enemy. However, the battle inflicted heavy casualties on both sides. Bai Yufei, severely wounded, fell into a coma. Bai Zhi stayed by his bedside, caring for him day and night, her eyes filled with anxiety and heartache. She constantly changed Bai Yufei's dressings, softly calling his name, hoping he would wake up soon. Under Bai Zhi's meticulous care, Bai Yufei finally awoke. Looking at the exhausted yet joyful Bai Zhi before him, a warm feeling welled up in his heart. "Miss Bai, thank you," Bai Yufei said weakly. Bai Zhi shook her head, tears welling in her eyes, "You're finally awake. Do you know how worried I was about you?" At that moment, their eyes met, and a subtle emotion spread between them.
As time passed, the troops completed their reconnaissance mission and prepared to return. Bai Yufei was promoted for his outstanding performance in the operation. Meanwhile, the feelings between Bai Zhi and Bai Yufei deepened without them even realizing it. At the moment of parting, Bai Yufei held Bai Zhi's hand tightly, saying, "Bai Zhi, when I get back, I will definitely come to find you." Bai Zhi blushed and nodded gently.
Upon returning to the capital, Bai Yufei, through his hard work and talent, rose steadily in rank within the army, eventually becoming the revered Flying General. He never forgot his promise to Bai Zhi, and through a matchmaker, he proposed marriage to her family. Seeing Bai Yufei's handsome appearance and promising future, Bai Zhi's family readily agreed to the marriage. Thus, Bai Zhi and Bai Yufei became husband and wife, living a happy life. Whenever Bai Zhi recalled her encounter with Bai Yufei ten years prior, her heart was filled with emotion. The red thread of fate had quietly bound them together in that unfamiliar northern land, creating a beautiful marriage.
