Half-returning Song

In Xiang City, which was more than a hundred miles away from the capital, there was a legend of Xie Junjun, Xie Ning. She was the eldest daughter of General Xie, and her appearance was truly enchanting and alluring. Her every frown and smile was as stunning as a lotus flower.

The people of Xiang City compared Xie Junjun to " Mei ", imitating the clothes and mother-of-pearl that Xie Junjun wore. People called Xie Junjun "Chang'e in the Moon".

However, this title only existed before Xie Junjun turned eighteen…

How could he say that? It was said that when Xie Junjun had just turned 18, people who wanted to propose marriage and matchmaking would crowd the Xie family's gates every day. They had broken through many of the Xie family's doorsteps. However, in the end, these people would enter unscathed and climb out with injuries all over their bodies.

Xie Junjun would persuade every matchmaker to give up on their marriage plans. However, after many times, Xie Junjun became very annoyed. He didn't want to talk nonsense and whipped them out. Almost all of them were killed.

Naturally, the outside world began to spread rumors that this Xie Junjun was fierce and fierce, and was unusually valiant. He often held the vine whip in his hand during his father's birthday banquet when he was young, and did whatever he wanted.

There were even rumors that Xie Junjun was not good at the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. He was not even good at poetry or painting. On the contrary, he was often seen in this place.

However, no one could confirm the truth or what kind of person Xie Junjun was.

......

On this day, the spring sun was shining brightly. General Xie Chengzhang and his eldest daughter Xie Ning were returning from the capital.

The long carriage had just come out of the city gate. Xie Ning was sitting in the carriage at the front. She lifted the curtain and stuck her head out. When she saw the carriage gradually moving away, she jumped down from the carriage like a horse that had lost its reins.

Xie Chengzhang was resting with his eyes closed in the car. He was slightly startled by Xie Ning's movement. When he opened his eyes, the person beside him was gone. He leaned over and pulled open the curtain. He scolded softly," Xie Ning!" Let's see which young lady is as unsightly as you!"

Although he was reprimanding her, Xie Chengzhang's words couldn't hide the pampering in them. There wasn't a hint of reproach in them.

Xie Ning was wearing a light-colored silk dress. The cuffs and the hem of the dress were embroidered with expensive silver threads. She was wearing a silk rabbit fur coat. Her face was bright and moving.

She lightly stuck out her tongue and walked straight to the front of a horse. Her long legs lightly stepped on the horse's body and her movements were smooth." Father, you know Ah Ning. It was not easy for me to get out of the hunting ground of the palace. I need to get some fresh air."

Xie Chengzhang, who was sitting in the carriage, sighed and shook his head. He didn't stop Xie Ning.

He knew his eldest daughter very well. She had a carefree personality since she was young, and she was quite interested in men's riding and archery. He also realized that Xie Ning's talent in this field was far higher than those girls who learned zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, so he did not stop Xie Ning from learning these. This was inherited from him.

The Xie family was an aristocratic family of generals. A woman could be a general like a man.

This trip to the capital was the day of the royal family's hunt. If Xie Ning was not interested in hunting, she would not have come along.

The carriage continued to move forward. The outskirts of the capital were surrounded by mountains and rivers. The scenery was elegant and unique, and it was especially refreshing.

Xie Ning rode at the front of the team. She was in a particularly happy mood, humming a song she had composed herself.

A few maidservants followed the guards of the Xie family to the sides of Xie Ning's horse. One of Xie Ning's maidservants, Ling Long, asked," Miss, which song are you singing?"

Xie Ning held the reins in her hand and turned to look." Of course, it's written by the ruler of this county. How does it feel?"

"Miss seems to be very happy…" Exquisite smiled and continued.

"Who are you? Come out!" Before Ling Long could finish her sentence, she was suddenly interrupted by the voice of the guard in front of her. She was shocked.

Xie Ning didn't react as strongly as Ling Long. She turned around and pulled the reins in her hand." Phew!"

The carriages behind them were forced to stop.

They were walking on a dense forest road. Under a tree not far away, a man in black was sitting weakly against the tree. Xie Ning was a little far away from the man, so she couldn't see his face clearly.

At this moment, Xie Chengzhang, who was in the carriage, also noticed the strange situation outside. He leaned out and was helped down by the guards. He walked to the front but did not step forward. Instead, he ordered the two guards standing behind him." You two go and see what's going on."

After the two guards received the order, they gripped the knives at their waists tightly with one hand and tiptoed toward the man. They did not dare to alert the enemy.

In this desolate place, a strange man with an unknown identity suddenly appeared. Xie Chengzhang was habitually vigilant, squinting in the direction of the man.

After the two guards walked in, they put down their hands that were originally on the hilts of their swords. They seemed to hesitate for a moment. Then, the two guards walked back and said to Xie Chengzhang and Xie Ning," General, Miss, that person seems to have suffered serious injuries. He should have fainted."

Xie Ning sat on the horse. When she heard the guard's words, she got off the horse in confusion. She did not believe that she was seriously injured. What if she was pretending to be unconscious to deceive them? She looked at her father's suspicious gaze and was even more convinced of this guess. It was better to be safe than sorry. She decided to take a look herself.

Xie Chengzhang didn't stop Xie Ning when he saw her walking under the tree. He was still very assured of Xie Ning and wasn't worried that she would hurt her.

The man's back was facing them as he leaned against the tree. Before Xie Ning could even get close, she could smell a trace of blood in the air. It was coming from the man. Xie Ning got closer and was shocked. It wasn't because of his appearance, but because of the injuries on the man's body. They were quite serious…

The knife wound on the neck was the most serious, and the man's thigh was still bleeding. Xie Ning couldn't help but curse in her heart, Who did this kid offend to be beaten up like this?

When Xie Ning was about to look at the man's face, she raised her head. Her breathing stopped, and Xie Ning's eyes lit up.

The man looked to be about 22 years old. His hair was as black as ink, and his high hat was slightly tied up. His skin was as white as snow, and his eyebrows were as sharp as swords. He gave off a disdainful posture and was shockingly handsome.

A word suddenly appeared in Xie Ning's mind-peerless magnificence.

That's right, it was most appropriate to describe him as peerless.

However, the man's eyes were tightly shut, and his thin lips were pale. He leaned weakly against the tree, and it was unknown how long he had been unconscious.

Xie Ning looked at the man in a daze. She had lived for eighteen years and finally knew why she looked down on those people who proposed marriage. At this moment, she finally had an answer in her heart.

Not far away, Xie Chengzhang saw Xie Ning's unpredictable expression. He didn't know what had happened on Xie Ning's side. He raised his voice and asked," Ah Ning, what's the situation?"

Xie Ning's thoughts were pulled back by Xie Chengzhang's shout. She stood up and walked back to the carriage. She said to Xie Chengzhang," Father, it's true. That man was seriously injured. He should have fainted for some time, but we don't know who he is."

Xie Chengzhang didn't think much of it. He nodded and turned around to return to the carriage. Before he could take a step, someone suddenly pulled on the hem of his clothes. Xie Chengzhang turned to look at Xie Ning in confusion." Ah Ning, why are you pulling my clothes?" It's getting late, we have to hurry. Your grandmother is still waiting for us at home."
