"Young master, Xie Jun and this wild horse are going to take the Chu family into the ditch!" Wang Hong broke into the study and beat his chest, which was enough to show his anger.

The pen in Chu Tao's hand paused, and the dragon flew and the phoenix danced again. He lowered his head with a smile and concentrated on his pen and ink: "This ruffian, didn't you drive him to the north shore?"

"Yes...... But I didn't let him go to Qi's house to make trouble......! Isn't it for fear that the world will not be chaotic!"

"I expected him to go. Chu Tao's words choked Wang Hong.

But he didn't look up. The spring outside the window is sultry, and the warm sun is sprinkled on the desk, reflecting his calm and calm face.

"Something is going to happen to the Qi family, he was sent by Leng Fengyi to go to the snow region to find Cheng Yunhe, and the white-clothed holy envoy will definitely take action again. The quickest way to stop them may be like the one he did. At least the Ranger's intervention made the white-clothed Holy Envoy dare not act rashly. Qi Dashao should also rush back when he gets the news! In this way, the Qi family will not fall apart immediately. ”

Wang Hong was confused: "It turned out that it was not for the alliance?

"Nope. I can't save the Qi family. Chu Tao snorted, "If you say so, the noisy people on the south bank can make up a lot of stories." ”

Wang Hong knew that he had a bad heart, but he still couldn't help but remind: "What if you stab Lou Zi?"

"Let him come back on his own. Chu Tao finally put down his pen, dried the letter paper, and said to Wang Hong: "Tianqiao, that young man has returned to the Black Stone Cliff, send the letter, and invite him to come to my study - don't let Xuehai know." ”

Wang Hong has become accustomed to all kinds of strange orders. Since Chu Tao was not worried about the incident on the north shore and burning himself, he should not be in a hurry. So he obediently sent the letter.

There was the sound of dancing swords in the courtyard. Chu Tao watched from the window: it was Xue Hai who was destroying her sister-in-law's flowers and plants with a double-strand sword. In the depths of the falling flowers, the powder blue dress is light and elegant, just like the innocent years. The moves taught by Xie Junhe casually have been practiced by her very well, coupled with the charm of flying feathers one by one, or fish jumping, or flying eaves, or gliding, or whirling dance, the silver sword light flies up and down, like a light crane.

This is the daughter of the Chu family.

Maybe one day, she will have to take on her own destiny. His eyebrows furrowed.

— But before that —

Chu Tao walked out of the house slowly, staring at it for a long time, hiding his uneasy thoughts behind a faint smile. Until the naughty girl suddenly found out, she hurriedly put away her sword: "Brother, why don't you say a word?"

"It's improved a lot. ”

"Is this a compliment to me?" Xue Hai's eyes widened and he wondered, "Don't you dislike my martial arts?"

Chu Tao ignored it, took the sweat towel under the corridor, and wiped the sweat beads from her forehead for her, just like when she was a child.

"Then I'll treat you as a compliment to me!"

"We still need to work hard. He frowned instantly, "If I make a move, you won't be able to catch a single move!"

"Nonsense! Isn't Brother Mo's hand injured healed?"

Heh! Chu Tao just wanted to say that this little guy still dares to underestimate your brother, but Xue Hai actually raised a sword to cross his neck.

Chu Tao was playful, and he really slammed his palm at her wrist like a thunderbolt to grab the sword.

The flower was discolored, the sword blade changed direction in an instant, and dodged through a defensive arc, but unexpectedly, the palm was actually flickering, and Chu Tao had already stepped behind her. Just as she was about to lean down and slip under his armpit, the other hand was already behind her arm.

Ahh

Chu Tao pressed her shoulders and pretended*: "It's getting more and more naughty." ”

But Xue Hai had already put on a straight face and sprinkled coquettishly: "You bully people!"

Chu Tao put his sword back into the sheath with one hand, and didn't feel it: "Who bullied whom! If you can't clean up the girl, the position of the boss of the rivers and lakes for so many years should have been made already!"

"Bad guy, can't you praise me more, it's okay to pretend to lose half a trick to me!" Xue Hai said angrily.

Chu Tao raised his face solemnly: "It's not waiting for people to praise you to learn swords. It is to let you guard against deception and have a place to stand. ”

"Got it! Don't play anymore! Jun and Big Brother said the same. Why are you becoming more and more like him, talking like you, getting thicker and thicker, what kind of girl is not a girl, isn't it just a few years younger than you!" Xue Hai grimaced to show disdain.

"The big girl doesn't stay behind! Think I'm rough? Which one of the people in the rivers and lakes is not rough? Why don't you change your brother?"

"It's stingy to say a few words! Come on, who doesn't know that the head of Chu is gentle and elegant, suave, handsome and chic, and when he is old, he can still deceive all the flowers and steal people's hearts......"

Chu Tao couldn't cry or laugh, but his eyes were full of doting: "Are you so teasing people? Who did you learn this from?"

"The scholar of Ningxiang Pavilion?" As soon as the words came out, he quickly covered his mouth, no, covered his ears.

"Sneaking out to play again, right?!"

Xue Hai bowed his head and was silent. It's best to be obedient when you do something wrong, and the person you usually mess with the best will always be the least easy to mess with at this time. Quietly glanced at his brother's expression, and spread out his palms: "Once, I played once." Don't hit it too hard, it hurts!"

Chu Tao raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I know that you are bored, can't you tell me well when you go out to play?" Speaking of which, I haven't seen Senior Feng and his apprentice for a long time. Say hello on my behalf. ”

"Really?" As soon as Xue Hai heard that there was an opportunity to go out to play, he was immediately overjoyed, and he didn't think much about how his brother was so generous today. The laughter of the bamboo garden has echoed in my ears.

"Go, find a good horse, stay for three or five days, and accompany his old man. Bring some of Vilan's newly collected flower seeds as a greeting gift, and the seniors will like it. And also...... Be careful on the road......" Chu Tao shook his head helplessly. This girl jumped out of the courtyard before she could get out of the road.

Looking at the colorful braids that disappeared behind the courtyard wall, a faint sadness spread.

What kind of color is her future? I only hope that it will always be a sunny day.

An hour later, Qi Tianqiao appeared in Chu Tao's study, and went straight to the scene as usual.

"My father is in trouble, please ask the head of Chu to help generously regardless of his previous grievances. ”

Chu Tao waved his hand and motioned for him to sit first, and he tasted the bitter tea unhurriedly. So Tian Qiao followed his point, found a stool and sat down, waiting for a reply in a daze. It was so stiff that Wang Hong smelled the thick smoke in the air.

"North Shore affairs, please forgive Chu for not being able to interfere. ”

"Then why did you write this letter to tell me the news of my father?

"The heir of the Qi family, how can you not know? The third young master should not refuse the proposal to return to the Qi family as soon as possible at this time!"

"You don't need to remind you of this!" Qi Tianqiao jumped up with anger in his eyes. "I didn't expect that the Chu family, who kept saying that righteousness came first, was also greedy for life and afraid of death!

"Do you want to use the radical method?" Chu Tao raised his eyes to look at this young man with strong blood and smiled.

Qi Tianqiao suddenly lost his words, as if he had been frosted, and wilted in an instant.

Chu Tao absentmindedly fiddled with the cup in his hand: "If I'm not mistaken, it should be Shen Yanfei's few words that sent you to the Black Stone Cliff! For example, you don't even dare to pursue the person you like, how will you be the master of the Qi family in the future?"

"How do you know?"

"I know him, and I know you. Chu Tao got up, put down the tea bowl, took out a piece of paper from the secret compartment of the drawer, and put it on the desk. "Do you know how dangerous this trip is?"
