captive skylark

Chapter 1 First Meeting
The first time Yunxi met Xie Heng was in the cold winter of Zhaohua's 23rd year.

Snow covered the mountains, and she was forced to a cliff by bandits.

The fine fox fur cloak was wrapped around him, but it couldn't resist the chill brought by the biting cold wind.

But the bandit in front of him was still approaching, and the blood from the tip of the knife was dripping on the snow, like little red plums, which was shocking.

She gritted her teeth, tightened the cloak on her body, and took a few steps back.

Gravel rolled from the bottom of the feet and fell into the deep valley.

Yun Xi stopped.One step further, there is an endless abyss, beyond redemption.

However, she raised her eyes and looked at the bandits approaching in front of her.

If it falls into their hands, how can it be another abyss purgatory?
Her despair fell into the bandit's eyes, and she couldn't help but sneered, "Keep running! There is a cliff behind, and if you fall, let alone the corpse, you won't be able to find any bones."

He persuaded her again, "little lady, I advise you to obey us obediently. You are so beautiful, we will definitely not treat you badly."

After finishing speaking, several people looked at each other and smiled, with a malicious look in their eyes.

Who knows what will happen to this innocent girl if she falls into the hands of these reckless mountain bandits.

Yunxi also knew that the despair in her heart was getting deeper and deeper.

She closed her eyes, her tightly pressed lips were almost bleeding.

It was at this time that Xie Heng rushed over, the young master raised his hooves as bright as the breeze and the moon.

But when he leaned over to fish, the girl was picked up by the waist.

At the same time as falling into his arms, Yun Xi opened his eyes.

The cold wind was raging, and his handsome eyebrows and eyes seemed to be soaked in the wind and snow, with a layer of frost condensed.

"Not one left."

With an extremely cold voice, he ordered the followers who followed closely, and then lowered his eyes to look at Yunxi.

"Sister Jiang?" he asked.

Meeting her apprehensive eyes, he smiled comfortingly, and the cold light suddenly dissipated, "Sister, don't be afraid, I'm Xie Heng, and I came to pick up my sister at the order of my grandmother."

Xie Heng......

Yun Xi's eyelashes trembled slightly.

She knows the name.

The Xie family in Chenjun is one of the most prominent families in Yangxia, and it is also the mother's family of the Jiang family's mistress, Xie's family.

When the Jiang family proposed to marry him, it was originally a high bid.

I heard that Mrs. Xie was the first to disagree, but the girl was happy with herself, and she had always made up her mind, so she reluctantly got married.

Later, the Jiang family was implicated in the Huaiwang rebellion, and the whole family moved from Shangjing to Qingzhou.

The mountains and rivers are so far away that we can't see them, Mrs. Xie regretted it.

No, after the Jiang family was released and returned to Beijing to work, Mrs. Xie wrote a letter, ordering them to go to Yangxia on the way, at least let this old lady who was half buried in the earth meet her own granddaughter.

The old lady's words were bleak, and Master Jiang himself thought about it.

I have only this one girl under my knees, and she should be old enough to see her when the new year is over.

The lintel of Xie's mansion is heavy, if it is under the old lady's knees, she will be regarded as a young lady raised in a high-level courtyard when she enters Beijing in the future.

So he did not hesitate to trek across mountains and rivers to come to Yangxia, never thinking that he would encounter bandits on the way.

Yunxi watched the Jiangs and his wife die under the knife of the gangsters with her own eyes. She raised the curtain and dragged the girl from the Jiang family to fall off the back of the carriage.

The deep boudoir, who didn't leave the door for two steps, fell to the ground within two steps, her eyes were dim with tears, and she pulled Yun Xi's sleeve to prevent her from leaving.

"Yunxi, save me. If I fall into their hands, I might as well die."

At the moment of life and death, there is no delay.

Yun Xi looked around and pushed the girl into a hidden cave.

She confessed, "You stay here and hide, don't make a sound."

"What about you?" The girl was still tugging at her sleeve, refusing to let go.
