The field where Pegasus Ranch is located is particularly rich in pastures, surrounded by mountains, enclosing more than ten miles of fertile fields, and only two gorges in the east and west can be entered and exited.

The situation is dangerous, forming a natural screen for the pasture.

There is a city tower at the exit of the gorge, the pit of three zhang wide and five zhang deep is dug out in front of the building, the mouth of the gorge is crossed, the following is covered with spikes, the suspension bridge must be passed, there is indeed a husband when the pass, the tendency of ten thousand people is difficult to cross.

Su Ze dismounted at the exit of the gorge and asked to see the owner Shang Xiuxun, saying that he was a fellow martial artist.

Because he was only one person, the Zhuang Ding were not too guarded.

A middle-aged strong man, with a glance, his face was clumsy, his eyes were still shining, and he introduced himself as Liu Zongdao, the second deacon of the ranch.

specially came forward to receive Su Ze.

Su Ze smiled and asked, "Can't the owner of the merchant village see me?"

Liu Zongdao replied: "Su Yingying has a bad reputation in the rivers and lakes, so we may be a little neglectful. But after asking Su Yingying to explain the purpose of the origin, I will report to the owner. ”

Su Ze nodded approvingly: "That's right, it's impossible for the owner of the merchant to see everyone." I came this time to exchange skills with Lu Miaozi's seniors. As for the business owners, they can be seen or not, but from now on, I need the right to come and go freely in and out of the pasture. ”

Lu Miaozi's seclusion in Pegasus Ranch is unknown to idlers.

Su Ze said it bluntly.

Liu Zongdao had a measure in his heart, and he quietly repaid Shang Xiuxun at the moment.

Shang Xiuxun actually hates Lu Miaozi very much.

Lu Miaozi had a close relationship with Yang Su, the founding backbone of the Great Sui Dynasty, and helped him design the world-famous "Yang Gong Treasure House", which has a good reputation between Buddhism and Taoism.

In his early years, he fell in love with Zhu Yuyan, the "Queen of the Yin", and lived in seclusion in the "Pegasus Ranch", and regretted it all his life.

The person Lu Miaozi loves in her heart is the head of the "Yin Kui Faction" "Yin Queen" Zhu Yuyan, but in the end he was plotted by Zhu Yuyan and received a slap from her, and then he was disheartened and went into seclusion to the "Pegasus Ranch".

At the "Pegasus Ranch", he met Shang Xiuxun's mother, Shang Qingya, the owner of the "Pegasus Ranch", and gave birth to a daughter, Shang Xiuxun.

However, Lu Miaozi loved Zhu Yuyan in his heart, and he finally failed Shang Qingya, which is why Shang Xiuxun hated him.

But the father and daughter are connected by blood, and Shang Xiuxun is also a traditional good girl with a knife mouth and a tofu heart.

Therefore, she has a love-hate ambivalence towards Lu Miaozi.

Now that Su Ze came to visit Lu Miaozi, Shang Xiuxun's first reaction was to drive Su Ze away.

Thinking about it again, the person who can exchange skills with Lu Miaozi must not be an ordinary person. Don't be easy to offend.

Then he commanded, "Let him in, and I will meet him personally." ”

The living place of the owner Shang Xiuxun is the Bird Park, which is located in the middle of the inner fort, consisting of more than 30 houses of various types, surrounded by wind and fire walls, and is a brick and wood structure building group.

Along the way, the beautiful scenery of the gardens emerges in endlessly, and the houses near and far are high and orderly, scattered among the trees, elegant and decent.

Just look at the arrangement of the rockery in the park, the ingenious configuration of plum, plantain, wisteria and osmanthus is like a three-dimensional picture erected in front of the window, which is inexhaustible, and you will know the wisdom of Shang Xiuxun.

Su Ze waited in the hall for a while, and Shang Xiuxun appeared.

Shang Xiuxun, who appeared for the first time, was full of demeanor, and her beautiful black hair poured down on her knife-like fragrant shoulders like two small waterfalls, which was unusually beautiful.

Dressed in a samurai outfit, her elegant outfit accentuated her outstanding face and tanned and shiny skin, exuding a scorching youth and a stunning sense of health.

In this day and age, it was a pleasant surprise to meet a sunny-skinned beauty.

Her beautiful eyes are deep and unfathomable, and her thick eyelashes add to her mystique like a phoenix with the most fragrant and mellow fairy wine.

Shang Xiuxun waved his hand generously: "Brother Su, please sit down and watch the tea." ”

Su Ze sat down with a smile and said sweetly: "I didn't expect that the mall owner is so young and so beautiful." It's really blessed. ”

Shang Xiuxun frowned slightly, as if he had never met a man like Su Ze who praised him in person and was brazen.

She said solemnly: "I don't know where Brother Su heard that Lu Miaozi's predecessor lived in seclusion in Pegasus Ranch?"

Su Ze laughed and said, "Don't call him a senior, he is your father after all." I know astronomy and geography, and I know a wide range of knowledge, probably second only to your father's. ”

Shang Xiuxun was even more disliked, so he wanted to send off guests.

Su Ze observed his words and took the initiative to say: "There are many snacks in my hometown, which have not appeared here. I can bring some with me to taste for the owner. ”

Snack merchant Xiuxun became a little interested at this time, and her big eyes that could speak were shining: "Brother Su, what kind of snacks are they?"

"It can be roughly divided into two categories: sweet and salty, and if it is a pastry, it can also be divided into eight categories, puff pastry, mixed sugar, pulp skin, oven cake, steamed cake, puff pastry, fried, and others. ”

Su Ze talked eloquently: "If you classify them according to the region, there are 12 schools: Beijing School, Tianjin School, Su School, Guang School, Chao School, Ning School, Shanghai School, Sichuan School, Yang School, Dian School, Min School, and West Point. ”

Shang Xiuxun was about to salivate when she heard this, and she blushed and said, "Can Brother Su give it to me to taste?"

"I can't get it all at once, but I will often come to visit Lu Miaozi's seniors, and I can bring you a few kinds of pastries every time. ”

Shang Xiuxun came back to his soul at this time, and it turned out to be an empty promise.

She said reservedly: "Then I'll wait for Brother Su's pastries."

--------------------

After passing Shang Xiuxun's pass, Su Ze was led to the back mountain and met Lu Miaozi.

Lu Miaozi has a goose crown and a broad belt, a strange face, towering like a pine and cypress, and wears a wide robe, which makes him have a kind of momentum that makes people look up to the mountains.

Su Ze gave his hand as a courtesy: "Senior, junior Su Ze is polite." ”

"You're welcome," Lu Miaozi said softly: "I am very happy that the distinguished guest is coming." ”

It seems that this old man is too lonely.

On the bright side, the agreement between the old man and Shang Xiuxun was to stay in the back mountain and not go out for a walk.

But in fact, Lu Miaozi often wanders the rivers and lakes.

Lu Miaozi warmly welcomed Su Ze, which also showed that the old man had the ability to recognize people, and he could see Su Ze's extraordinaryness at a glance.

This is also normal, Lu Miaozi is also very proficient in physiognomy.

Lu Miaozi continued to say softly: "Little brother, please sit down and taste the six fruit liquid brewed by the old man." ”

Only then did Su Ze realize that there were wine glasses and other drinking utensils on the table, and the aroma of wine was overflowing.

Under the reflection of the two hanging palace lamps, there are only a few necessary pieces of furniture except for the tables and chairs, all of which are made of sour branch wood, which is elegant and noble.

Su Ze sat down unceremoniously, did it himself, poured two cups, and saw that the old man still didn't move, so he picked up one cup and tasted it slowly.

The fruit is brewed into the throat, the wine is mellow, soft and refreshing, and the most rare thing is that the aroma is rich and harmonious, and the aftertaste is long.
