Three days after the lantern festival.

It is falling colorful, and the moon is under the moon. Good day tea.

Qi Tianqiao fidgeted alone under the gazebo.

In the lantern given to the sea of snow, there was a pink letterhead - but she didn't seem to notice it that night. Alas, I know that I am dumbfounded, and the things that show my heart are really not my own strengths.

Did she receive the letter? Will she agree? What if she is rejected? Can such a water pavilion that a girl's family likes impress her? With Chu Xuehai's personality, it seems that she shouldn't like these. The wind moved, wrinkling a pool of water, and also blowing his heart ups and downs, and he was worried.

Qi Tianqiao, you're not a kid anymore. He admonished himself. But this is heart-pounding, but it is difficult to control it. In order to see Chu Xuehai, he did not hesitate to fight against the entire family and quietly slipped to the Black Stone Cliff, how can there be any rationality in this?

In the secluded, quiet courtyard, a man's poetic voice suddenly floated: "Quiet girl, I am at the corner of the city." Love but not see, scratching his head and hesitating. ”

Qi Tianqiao was so startled that he hid behind the curtain. Isn't this the poem he wrote to the sea of snow?

But he heard the long laugh twice: "Why, arrogantly dare to pursue Chu Tao's sister, but don't you dare to see his brother?" Chu Tao slowly came from the path with a playful face. The white cranes, reflecting the moonlight, are like fairies.

Qi Tianqiao suddenly felt a basin of cold water splashed from head to foot, and his body stiffened, and it was difficult to know how to advance or retreat. He lowered his head and grimaced like a child, wishing to disappear from his eyes as soon as he turned into air. How would he know? Could it be that he got his own letter to Xuehai, so he deliberately came here to mock him?

But Chu Tao's sharp gaze looked him from head to toe, almost digging out his heart.

"You're here to send me away...... If so, take the liberty of ......" He tried to flee, but an arm grabbed him by the shoulder and pulled him back to the stone bench.

"The third young master of the Qi family has the guts to do this?" Chu Taowu found a stone bench and sat down, smiling meanly. So much so that Qi Tianqiao almost looked at him angrily: "If you make fun of me, don't blame me for being disrespectful!"

Chu Tao frowned, lowered his voice and said, "Let me hear how you plan to speak disrespectfully." ”

Qi Tianqiao said loudly: "I don't know how you got in the way, since it's you, I'll just admit defeat." However, Master Chu, you have also tasted the sorrow of people on both sides of the strait falling in love with each other and not dying well, but why do you want to beat the mandarin ducks? Could it be that my love affair with Xuehai is so ridiculous in your eyes? No wonder the cold beauty would look down on you back then and leave! I once respected you as a hero, but your actions today are really the work of a villain!"

Chu Tao was not angry, but said slowly: "It is precisely because of the pain that I don't want anyone to fall into it again......" He looked at Qi Tianqiao again, "Since you know that people on both sides of the strait are in love with each other and can't die well, why are you willing to go to the soup and go to the fire?"

"Because I and Xuehai are much braver than you!" Qi Tianqiao was furious and said, "A coward, a treacherous merry boy, what qualifications do you have to say irresponsible things to me!"

"Brave?" Chu Tao smiled again, "Do you think it's brave enough to take away Xuehai in front of me? How do you know if Xuehai is willing to go with you? Yes, if she goes north with you, no one on the north shore will let her go, swords, swords, conspiracies, will you block it for her?"

Qi Tianqiao was speechless for a while, but he still didn't relent: "I will take care of her and risk my life to take care of her!"

"Then I don't dare to let her go—do I want her to be widowed at a young age?"

"You!" Qi Tianqiao was strong-blooded, where could he endure it, and swung a straight punch into Chu Tao's face. It's just that Chu Tao's hand waved lightly in the air, and the palm wind hit his wrist, making him distort his face in pain in an instant.

"Sit down!" Chu Tao commanded sharply.

"It's unbearable to bear this humiliation!" Qi Tianqiao scolded back.

Chu Tao's laughter was even more scathing: "If you can't even resist my few words and run away, how can you let me hand over my sister to such a so-called brave person?"

Tian Qiao was stunned, he looked at Chu Tao who was sitting upright, and he didn't understand why there was always irresistible power in this person's body. Chu Tao just stared at him solemnly, but the perseverance in his eyes no longer allowed him to have any chance to question. "I don't lack the means to get rid of you, and I don't have to come forward in person. Chu Tao said calmly, "In fact, you don't have a chance to get close to the snow sea at all, maybe you have been expelled by the rangers as soon as you set foot on the south shore." ”

"If you don't say it, I know your methods. Are you trying to threaten me? I'm not afraid!"

Chu Tao shook his head slightly, his face was extremely pale: "Your letter to Xuehai really made her in a dilemma, so she could only turn to me for help." Have you ever wondered how she can be good with her brother on one side and her brother's enemy on the other?"

Tian Qiao lowered his head and pondered, he had never thought about it. I thought that as long as I left the north shore, everything would not be a problem: "If I can give up my identity as the heir of the Qi family, you won't stop me and Xuehai, right?"

"I didn't say I wanted to stop you two, and Xuehai didn't say that I would definitely go with you. Tianqiao, you are very much like me back then - maybe more arrogant and persistent than me back then. It's just that what can self-righteous righteousness bring to your beloved?" Chu Tao smiled faintly, "Give Xue Hai some time, and give you and me some time, as a brother, I only beg you, don't let her down." ”

"I won't regret it!" Qi Tianqiao replied loudly.

Chu Tao was dumbfounded, turned his back, and was deeply silent. The long shadow under the moon suddenly became a little gloomy.

Qi Tianqiao looked at the suddenly gloomy long shadow, and seemed to really understand Chu Tao's worries: "Master Chu, I will cherish her and give her happiness." She will be more important than my life. It's not rhetoric, it's my heart. She was lovelier than any girl I had ever seen, and though she was often self-willed, she was very real—she was naturally decorated, which was the most precious thing and what I cherished the most. Please do it!"

"Your thoughts, I will convey them to Xuehai. Chu Tao said calmly, "If you let go now, I won't blame you, but if you dare to let go in the future, I will throw you into the long river." ”

What else can a brother do?" I retracted what I had just said. ”

"You didn't say it wrong...... Chu Tao was even more gloomy, "I'm with her...... After all, the road is different. He clenched his fists tightly, but his face was still smiling calmly, "Feng Yi is still the same on the north bank, pointing out the country and refusing to admit defeat?" It's just that this smile is full of bitterness.

Tian Qiao took advantage of the situation and asked, "I've always been curious, why didn't Sister Feng Yi stay on the south bank back then?"

"She knew I couldn't afford it—and I realized much later that I would never give her what she wanted—Tianqiao, keep an eye on the North Shore: these days, the news that the Ranger has handed me doesn't seem good. Chu Tao slowly retreated into the night, carrying all his legends and sorrows.

Qi Tianqiao looked at his crane flying in the wind, and suddenly had mixed feelings. Only then did I deeply know that the unswerving promise of life and death, in the face of the swept tide, was just fluttering in the wind.
