Time passed slowly, and the attendant outside the door had already probed his head to look at it many times. Finally, Zhuge Yue pushed the chessboard and stood up, and the maid waiting on the side suddenly stepped forward to put on deerskin boots for him. Zhuge Yue was dressed in a moon-white dark blue and white robe, and was covered with a big fur made of fiery red fox skin, but the child who was less than thirteen years old had an indescribable sense of oldness.

"Let's go." Zhuge Yue whispered and went out with a group of subordinates.

In front of the gate of Zhuge Family, a row of horses stopped, and due to Zhuge Yue's delay, the other young masters of Zhuge Mansion had already left first. A subordinate knelt on the ground with his head down, Zhuge Yue stepped forward with a calm face, stepped on the back of the minion, and turned over on the horse.

After finishing the dressing, Zhuge Yue suddenly turned his head to look at the maid of Qingshan Courtyard who was standing at the door and said, "Xing'er, have you ever seen the Lantern Festival of the Shangyuan Festival?" ”

Chu Qiao was stunned for a moment, and quickly shook his head.

Zhuge Yue nodded, "Come up, I'll take you there." ”

Chu Qiao was stunned for a long time before he understood what Zhuge Yue meant by "coming up", and hurriedly said, "Young Master, this is not in accordance with the rules. ”

Zhuge Yue frowned, and just as he was about to speak, Chu Qiao suddenly stepped forward and said, "Xing'er can ride a horse by himself." ”

Zhuge Yue looked up and down at Chu Qiao's small body suspiciously, and the suspicion was very obvious.

"The young master gives Xing'er a pony, and Xing'er can ride it."

Zhuge Yue smiled lightly when he heard this, and nodded to Zhu Cheng. After a while, a jujube red pony was pulled out, small in size, but still much taller than Chu Qiao. Everyone's eyes looked at Chu Qiao, and seeing that she was not as tall as a pony's leg, they all gloated a little.

The child circled the pony twice, and when he raised his hand high, he could only touch the pony's back. Zhuge Yue's eyes flashed a hint of amusement, and she was about to ask someone to help her get on the horse, but suddenly saw the child reach out and grab the reins of the horse, and with a slight force, he turned over and climbed up, and his movements were surprisingly neat.

There was a burst of admiration in the crowd, Zhuge Yue turned his head and saw that the child was snow-white, like a small snowball, but he was riding on the horse with his chest up, and couldn't help but chuckle, turned his head and beat the horse away.

Of course, Chu Qiao can ride a horse, although this body is not very convenient at present, but fortunately, this pony is very tame, and when he saw the other horses leaving, he also followed obediently.

There is no curfew in Zhenhuang City, today is the Shangyuan Festival, and the streets are becoming more and more lively. The time is almost evening, the sky is getting dark, the street lights are flickering, the fire trees are silver flowers, and the fragrance is leisurely. When I looked up, I saw that the Jiuwei Road passing through the city was full of exquisite lights. On both sides of the road are two long rows of red lights, and countless buildings have been turned into stages. Singing, dancing, juggling, acting, and noisy music are all gathered in one place. Countless small traders and vendors shout and solicit business on the streets, selling boiled wine and tobacco, tea, food and clothing, fruits and vegetables, household utensils, incense and flowers, fat powder fireworks, and all kinds of pleasing knick-knacks. The night scene of the prosperous era is like a splendid splendid horse suddenly shaken open, and all the magnificence that the world can imagine is chaotically mixed in one place, meandering and turning, you enter and I block, in the longitude and latitude of the north and south of Zhenhuang City, sprinkled with overwhelming luxury.

Chu Qiao sat on the horse, looking left and right, looking at this rare ancient night scene.

The Zhuge family is a big family, and everywhere they go, pedestrians avoid it. Walking through a gorgeous building, I saw that there were many colorful lanterns on the platform, the style was peculiar, there were all kinds of pleasing animals, there were also fairy flowers and plants, very novel and chic.

When the stall owner saw Zhuge Yue stop, he immediately ran forward with a big gold dragon lantern flatteringly, and his mouth was full of pleasing auspicious words.

Zhuge Yue didn't hear it, pointed to a lantern on the high platform, and said, "You bring that one." ”

The stall owner looked back and saw that the famous fourth son of the Zhuge family was referring to a snow-white rabbit lantern, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Taking the lantern in his hand, Zhuge Yue's always indifferent face showed a rare smile, and he handed the lantern to Chu Qiao and said, "Here you go." ”

Chu Qiao was stunned for a moment, subconsciously reached out and took it, and even forgot to thank him.

Zhuge Yue's face was calm, and he turned his head and continued to move forward, as if nothing had happened. The attendants around him cautiously swept over Chu Qiao with strange eyes, secretly carrying a hint of speculation.

Chu Qiao couldn't cry or laugh, and really regarded her as a child.

I saw that the rabbit lantern was very delicately made, the whole body was white, and a pair of eyes were red, Chu Qiao stretched out his finger and gently tapped it on the rabbit's mouth, and a small tongue made of pink paper suddenly stretched out, startling her.

At this moment, a chuckle suddenly sounded. Chu Qiao turned her head, and it happened that a lantern team had just walked in front of her, blocking her vision. The golden dragon and colorful phoenix, the jade butterfly and the white fox, the fairy water god, and the grass orchid are all there, and her eyes are a little flowery. Bustling crowds come and go, and the traffic is bustling on the main street of Jiuwei, and the lights are brilliant and dazzling.

I don't know how long it took, the lantern team slowly dispersed, only to see the other side of the long street, the frozen Chishui Lake was covered with snow, the willow branches were hanging low, the snow was hanging on the trees, the black horses were standing leisurely, the young man in the green shirt was holding his hands on his chest, leaning lazily on the trunk, his eyes were bright to look at her, his smile was faint, and his black eyes were like jade.

A loud bang sounded, and everyone suddenly looked up at the sky, only to see the sky full of fire trees and silver flowers, and the ceremonial flowers bloomed, like the long dance of the goddess's water sleeves, and it was like a splendid sunset drunk dye, dazzling, and drunk by watching.

At this time, I don't know which naughty child suddenly threw a firecracker under Chu Qiao's horse, and the little red horse went out for the first time, and was suddenly shocked, raised his hooves and galloped up regardless of the south, east, west, and north.

When the young man under the tree saw it, he turned over and got on his horse with a whoosh, jumped up with a whip, and chased in the direction of Chu Qiao.

The subordinates of Zhuge Mansion exclaimed, but unfortunately there was a crowd between them and Chu Qiao, and they couldn't rush over for a while.

Zhuge Yue raised his eyebrows, and he was about to come over with a whip, but he was tightly pulled by the attendants who accompanied him. Enraged, he struck the squire in the face, and when he looked up to chase after him, the streets were in chaos. The lanterns are flickering, the pedestrians are crowded, where is Chu Qiao's shadow?

The horses galloped rapidly, the cold wind whistled in their ears, and the noisy sound faded away, and gradually only the sound of the horses' hooves falling to the ground could be heard. Although the little red horse is small, it has a good breed and is extremely fast. Chu Qiao grabbed the horse's mane tightly with a pair of small hands, leaned down on the horse's back, calmly checked the surrounding terrain, and his little head was running rapidly.

Jing Yue'er's small body, which had not yet grown, was not enough to withstand the pain of falling from the back of such a galloping horse, and she had to find another way out.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves behind him, and a horse quickly caught up with Chu Qiao and ran side by side.

"Please, I'll save you!"

The young man's voice was blown to pieces by the cold wind, but it still reached Chu Qiao's ears intermittently. The child turned his little white jade face and glared fiercely at the gloating young man, his eyes were tough and not the slightest panic.

"Then tell me what your gesture means, and I'll save you!"

The night wind was bleak, the cold moon was like a knife, and the pony ran through the snow knee-deep to the adult's knees, gradually slowing down, but there was no sign of stopping.

The opportunity could not be missed, Chu Qiao suddenly let go of his hands, his palms were propped up on the horse's back, and the whole person jumped towards the young man beside him.

With a pop, the child's whole body threw itself on the young man's body, and the young man exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly reined in the horse, but it was too late. The two of them suddenly fell from the black horse like gourds rolling on the ground, landed on the soft snow, and rolled around a few times. The black horse was unconscious, but still desperately chased after the little red horse, and quickly melted into the night and disappeared.

"Wind!" The boy shouted anxiously, his eyebrows raised, and he didn't have time to pat the snow on his body, and staggered after two steps, but it was only in vain.

"Your horse should be pulled back and chopped, if someone else does not know it, now I don't even know if the owner has fallen off the horse, what is the use of keeping it?" Chu Qiao got up from the ground, patted the snow on his body, and looked up and down, he was not injured, which was fine.

Yan Xun turned his head, glared at Chu Qiao fiercely, and said angrily: "The wind is a BMW that my father just hunted from the land of Yanbei, and he has only followed me for less than half a month, and they are not familiar with each other. What's so strange about that? But what is the sin of you, who boldly let my horse go? ”

Chu Qiao snorted lightly and said disdainfully: "I didn't ask you to follow me, your own horse can't stand it by itself, what does it have to do with me?" ”

"How dare you talk to me like that?"

Chu Qiao frowned, glanced at this young but very big Yanbei prince with contempt, snorted coldly, and turned around and walked in the direction of Zhenhuang City.

Yan Xun was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect her to leave like this, so she hurriedly caught up a few steps forward and said, "Where are you going?" ”

Chu Qiao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Of course I want to go back, can't I still spend the night here?" ”

The snow was very deep, the shallow places did not reach Chu Qiao's knees, and the deep places almost did not reach the child's thighs. Yan Xun walked beside Chu Qiao, and when she saw that she was walking with difficulty, her anger, which was originally due to the loss of her horse, was suddenly relieved a lot, and she followed with a smile. Who knew that after just a few steps, he was very happy and sad, his feet were loosened, and before he could exclaim, his whole body suddenly fell.

As soon as she heard the sound of shattering, Chu Qiao sensed that something was wrong, and almost at the same time, she instinctively reached out and grabbed Yan Xun's arm, but it was a pity that Yan Xun's weight was something that Jing Yue'er's small body could bear? With a bang, the two of them fell into a large snow cave together.

"Hmm...... Hey, how are you? Yan Xun came out of the snow, pulled hard in the snowdrift, saw a snow-white little hand, and immediately pulled Chu Qiao out like a turnip, shook her head and shouted, "You're not dead, are you?" ”

"Let go." The child frowned depressedly, his feet moved slightly, it hurt, and his brows suddenly wrinkled more and more tightly.

Yan Xun was a little anxious, "Are you injured?" ”

"I can't die." Chu Qiao looked up and saw that the snow cave was not very high, so he turned his head to Yan Xun and said, "Can you climb up?" ”

Yan Xun measured the distance, then shook his head and said: "The snow here is soft, if you are on flat ground, you can jump on it, but not here, it will only sink deeper and deeper." ”

"I'll freeze to death in one night." Chu Qiao said in a low voice and stood up, "You step on my shoulder and climb up first, and then find someone to save me." ”
