Chapter 16 The Master of Plugging Outside
Pegasus Ranch is located in the southwest of Jingling County, where two large rivers and mountains meet, creating a fertile plain surrounded by steep mountain peaks to keep the cold wind out, even in the cold winter, this place is much warmer than other places, and the land here is fertile and abundant. It can raise tens of thousands of people to live here.
The vast plain is also a rare place to raise horses in the Central Plains. It is said that Shang Xiong, the owner of the first generation of Pegasus Ranch, was a military general in the late Jin Dynasty, and in order to avoid war, he led his clan and his subordinates to find this treasure land by chance.
From the establishment of the ranch to the Sui Dynasty's domination of the world for more than 100 years, the countries under heaven were separated, and the north and south confronted each other. In this war-torn situation, Pegasus Ranch has continued to grow by virtue of its unique horse breeding technology and geographical location, and has now become a pivotal force in the world.
Gao Cheng rode a horse and Duan Zhixuan and Dou Wei walked forward, and after galloping for a distance, he was full of horse speed, and on the way, Dou Wei introduced Gao Cheng to the origin of Pegasus Ranch and the current role of Li Valve.
Li Valve is not short of food and grass, nor is there a shortage of soldiers and generals, the only thing he lacks is the elite cavalry that can charge into battle. In particular, Xue Ju, who was located in the western part of Guanzhong, had a large number of cavalry, known as 200,000 people, and was preparing to attack Chang'an in the east. The threat to the Li valve is great.
As long as he can buy a batch of good horses from Pegasus Ranch, Li Valve can make up for the shortcomings and increase the certainty of defeating Xue Ju.
After these days of contact, Dou Wei also knew the character of this Zhao Guogong, who seemed to be quiet, but in fact his methods were very ruthless, and he was ruthless in dealing with enemies and those who offended him. and the personalities of King Tang, Shizi, and Qin Guogong are very different.
He is now worried that the three of them will come to the Pegasus Ranch, and when he is looking for Lu Miaozi, if there is a conflict with the master of the ranch, Gao Cheng will kill him, and then Li Valve and Pegasus Ranch will have a bad relationship, and the plan to buy a good horse will be in vain.
Gao Cheng understood Dou Wei's worries in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face, Pegasus Ranch has no grievances with him, how can he be a killer?
Whether it is Lu Miaozi's organ arithmetic, or his significance to Yang Gong's treasure house, it is very important to Gao Cheng. Even if the people in the ranch really offended him, for the sake of Lu Miaozi's face, he would not really make a move.
The horse galloped for a while, and seeing that the mount was tired, the three of them immediately dismounted and rested temporarily, Duan Zhixuan looked up and said in a deep voice: "Third prince, in front of you is Baizhang Gorge, a dangerous place in Jingling, this canyon is very steep, and there are many bandits and robbers on weekdays. After Baizhang Gorge, it is Jingling City!"
Dou Wei nodded and said, "Xuanba, we started from Yangzhou and traveled so far in a row, why don't we go to Jingling to rest first, and also recuperate." ”
Gao Cheng smiled faintly: "That's fine!"
Dou Wei and Duan Zhixuan are just ordinary first-class players, they have been following Gao Cheng for so long, they are already tired, and now Dou Wei is finally a little impatient.
Not everyone has cultivated the supreme mystical skill of innate longevity like Gao Cheng, and can continuously absorb the power of vitality from heaven and earth to replenish the consumption of body and spirit.
Cultivating to the current realm, Gao Cheng can maintain a state of high spirits even if he sleepless for a few days and nights.
After a short break, the three of them continued on their way. After walking for a short time, I saw a long canyon in front of me, and on both sides of the canyon, there were steep mountains. There is also the faint sound of a waterfall in the canyon.
However, when the three of them were about to approach Baizhang Gorge, there was a sudden sound of weapons colliding and fighting in their ears, Gao Cheng's expression moved slightly, and he immediately took Dou Wei and Duan Zhixuan to a hill and looked in the direction where the sound of fighting came.
There is a clearing outside Baizhang Gorge, on which a high platform is piled up with wooden stakes, and hundreds of elite men and horses wearing protective uniforms will guard the high platform tightly. In front of these Hu people, there were some guards in black suits, and a man armed with a steel spear was struggling to kill, trying to break through the obstacles in front of them.
On the wooden frame above the high platform, a woman in yellow was tied, hanging down like a waterfall of long hair, blocking her face.
"It's Tiele people!" Dou Wei saw these Hu people, his face changed, and he couldn't help but exclaim.
Duan Zhixuan also looked solemn and said: "Yes, I am still the master of the Tiele people, I saw that the three apprentices of the Tiele Flying Eagle Qu Ao are all in front. How did the Tiele people end up here?"
Gao Cheng didn't pay attention to the guards of Tiele and the black-clothed strongsuit, but focused most of his attention on the yellow-clothed woman on the high platform, and he secretly said in his heart: "The demon girl of the Yin Kwai Sect is Wanwan, I didn't expect to meet it here by such a coincidence!"
In the original timeline, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling first made peace at the birthday banquet of the Great Confucian Wangtong, and then assassinated Ren Shaoming, formed a Shuanglong Gang, and prepared to sell a batch of salt goods to Guanzhong, and then when they passed by Jingling, they met Wanwan and accidentally entered the Pegasus Ranch!
After thinking about it for a while, Gao Cheng wasted some time in Yangzhou, came to Jingling, and happened to encounter something from the original timeline.
"Third Prince, these Tiele people and those guards have been killed together, and they just happened to block the way to Baizhang Gorge, what should we do now? Do we rush up to help, or wait for these people to divide the winner?" Duan Zhixuan hesitated.
Tiele Flying Eagle Qu Ao is a famous grandmaster-level master outside the Saiwai, and is the spiritual totem of the Tiele people, and his reputation outside the Saiwai is second only to Wuzun Bi Xuan, one of the three great grandmasters. Duan Zhixuan and Dou Wei had both heard of this person's prestige, and now when they saw Qu Ao's three apprentices and many elite subordinates, they were suddenly a little uncertain.
The status of a grandmaster-level master is respected, if the assassination regardless of his identity can cause huge trouble to a force, if the three of them rush up and offend the flying eagle Qu Ao, it will not be good if it affects the big thing of Li Valve.
Gao Cheng said: "Don't wait, we rushed directly to solve this gang of Hu people, and the barbarians outside the Saiwai dare to spread wild in the Central Plains, they are really looking for death!"
He pulled out a long sword directly from his waist, clamped his legs hard, and the neighing of the war horse roared, and rushed towards the battlefield below. Dou Wei and Duan Zhixuan glanced at each other and hurriedly followed.
Ten thousand sharp sword lights roared by, Gao Cheng urged the mount to rush directly into the Tiele people, the long sword in his hand contained a fierce and domineering innate Gang Qi, invincible, no one could resist, in the blink of an eye, there were dozens of Hu people screaming and falling to the ground.
Dou Wei, who was following him closely, also roared loudly, and the iron rod in his hand roared, breaking the tendons of several Hu Ren Sweep. When Duan Zhixuan swung the sword, he focused part of his attention on Gao Cheng's body, and when Gao Cheng performed his swordsmanship, the sword path of the enlightened person was subtle.
"Who is Your Excellency? Seeing this scene, a young man among the Hu people was shocked and angry, and let out a loud shout.
"It's you who kill you!"
Gao Cheng snorted coldly, rode by, the long sword flashed, and the boundless falling wood in the Huashan swordsmanship was easily used, this sword move of the Huashan faction turned decay into magic in his hands, and directly condensed into ten thousand sword lights, as if the boundless fallen leaves floated through the sky, and every sword qi could harvest a life.
The young man who had just wiped and screamed was deliberately targeted by Gao Cheng, and most of the sword qi emitted gathered around him.
"Brother Geng, be careful!" came a coquettish cry not far away. There was eagerness in his voice.
