Chapter 19: The Hermit of the Back Mountain

Soon, a middle-aged strong man quickly came to the city tower, this strong man only has one eye, but the eyes are shining, adding a bit of heroic momentum.

He saw Gao Cheng and Dou Wei and Duan Zhixuan from a distance, among them, Gao Cheng was wearing a white mink robe, with a long sword hanging from his waist, and his momentum was domineering, and Dou Wei and Duan Zhixuan were both first-class masters, with different appearances, and they were not ordinary people at first glance.

Such a look and momentum should not be fake. The strong man hurriedly said: "Liu Zongdao, the second deacon of the lower ranch, has seen the third son!"

As soon as he waved his hand, the gray-clothed guards around him immediately lowered the drawbridge, and Liu Zongdao stepped forward in person and said respectfully: "Third prince, please come with me, I have passed the news to the owner, and she will come to greet her in person immediately!"

The three of them followed Liu Zongdao into the pasture, and what they saw was a gravel-paved road, leading directly to Pegasus Castle, on both sides of the road, different types of cattle and sheep were divided by wooden fences, herdsmen grazing, farmers plowing the fields, each performing their duties and peaceful.

Gao Cheng sighed: "I heard the name of Pegasus Ranch for a long time, and when I saw it today, I realized that the ranch is not only outstanding in horse herding skills, but also a paradise in itself!

Liu Zongdao said with a smile on the side: "Thank you for the praise of the third prince, the ranch is just a place for us to hide from the war, and the heroes of the world like King Tang are the ones who pacify the troubled times......"

As everyone spoke, there was the roar of war horses trampling the earth, Gao Cheng looked up, and saw dozens of knights galloping from Pegasus Castle, and the woman in the middle of these knights was surrounded by the stars and moons. The woman's long hair was pouring like a waterfall, and her appearance was stunning, and her skin was slightly bronzed, exuding vitality and health.

Her phoenix eyes flashed, and she saw the people on the road ahead, and after galloping to a distance of 100 paces with her subordinates, she turned over and dismounted, very neatly.

"The arrival of the third prince really makes the ranch shine, the little woman Shang Xiuxun has already prepared a banquet in the castle, and invited the third prince to move!"

She is Shang Xiuxun, the owner of Pegasus Ranch, the world's top stunning beauty in the Tang Dynasty, who behaved generously, swept her eyes on Gao Cheng and the three of them, smiled and took the initiative to invite.

Gao Cheng looked at the stunning beauty in front of him, revealing an appreciative gaze, Shang Xiuxun's appearance and temperament were very attractive. Even he was a little tempted.

In the world of the Tang Dynasty, Shi Feixuan, Wanwan, Shi Qingxuan, Shang Xiuxun and Shang Xiufang can be called the most outstanding beauty, and there are many beauties.

"Thank you, owner!" Gao Cheng smiled slightly.

Upon entering the castle, many pretty maids served a wide range of dishes and drinks, each of which was so exquisite that you could smell an aroma from afar. Shang Xiuxun likes to taste the world's food, and there are many famous chefs in the pasture, and only the palace dining room can compare with the ranch.

Everyone was divided into guest of honor and sat separately, among which in addition to Shang Xiuxun and Liu Zongdao in Pegasus Ranch, there were also archdeacon Liang Zhi, three deacon Tao Shusheng, and the veteran masters of the ranch Shang Peng and Shang He.

"Third Prince, I remember that the one who came to the ranch to discuss the purchase of war horses should be Princess Xiuning, right?

After everyone laughed and drank, Shang Xiuxun showed a trace of curiosity and asked out loud.

Gao Cheng held the wine glass in his right hand, and said lightly: "It's my eldest sister who came to discuss the purchase of war horses, I came to the ranch this time, but I heard that the four big thieves intend to invade the ranch, so I came to help, so as not to offend the owner of the farm and affect my plan!"

The Four Great Cowards!

Hearing this name, the expressions of everyone in Pegasus Ranch changed, not an inch of grass was born to the sky, chickens and dogs did not stay in the house, the scorched earth was frizzy, and the ghost cried Cao Yinglong. The four great Kou are rampant in the Yangtze River area, and their fierce reputation is far and wide, and there are thousands of thieves under their command, and the four great Kou themselves are also first-class masters in the rivers and lakes.

If these four people join forces, they have the ability to break through the city and destroy one of the forces, Pegasus Ranch is not far from the Yangtze River, and they don't know how much money they have accumulated in the past hundred years, and they have already been targeted by the four major cowards.

However, when Gao Cheng talks about this now, it means that the four big Kou are ready to attack the ranch. That's why everyone was so shocked.

Tao Shusheng, the third deacon of the ranch, flashed a strange light in his eyes, but his face also looked shocked and angry. If Gao Cheng hadn't known that he was a traitor, he might have been deceived by his performance.

Shang Xiuxun swept it lightly and said: "Thank you Third Prince for telling us this news, it has not been a day or two for the four Kou to covet the pasture, we have long been ready to resist, as long as the four Kou dare to come, our ranch will never let them go easily!"

After Gao Cheng said the news of the four big cowards, everyone in Pegasus Ranch lost the mind to drink. When the banquet was over, Shang Xiuxun confessed his guilt, arranged the three of them to the guest room, and then immediately gathered many masters of the ranch to discuss strategies to deal with the four great masters. It can be seen that Shang Xiuxun is not as calm and light as he appears.

Night.

The stars twinkled in the sky, and the moonlight sprinkled down, illuminating the entire castle, and the neighing of cattle and sheep was faintly heard outside the castle, and a figure swept through the moon cave door behind the castle and came to the garden in the backyard.

In the middle of the garden, there is a corridor that winds its way, which is originally a small place, but gives a feeling of spaciousness, and there is a pool on the left, and a small pavilion in the middle, connected by a small bridge.

The figure swept through the garden, along the stream that joined the pool, and after passing a bamboo grove, finally reached its destination. The figure stopped, revealing Gao Cheng's appearance.

"If it weren't for the fact that Lu Miaozi had long known that he was living in seclusion here, even if he was an innate sect master, it would be difficult to find traces of this person!

Gao Cheng sighed in his heart, the sound of water in front of him, a square pavilion facing a high cliff, and a waterfall pouring down on the opposite side, if it weren't for the sound of the bamboo forest, the roaring sound of the waterfall could reach the castle.

On the ground near the cliff, there is a small two-story building, a waterfall, a mountain spring, a bamboo forest, an attic...... The natural scenery and manpower are integrated with each other, which is incomparably harmonious, and it seems very harmonious, giving people a different kind of beauty.

This layout makes this attic look quite fairy, like an immortal who does not eat fireworks in the world.

"The distinguished guest is coming, the old man is not welcome! Please forgive the sin!"

An old voice came from the attic, and then with a creak, the door of the attic opened, and out came an old man with a clumsy appearance, long eyebrows slanted into his sideburns, a high bridge of his nose, his eagle eyes showing a melancholy color, and his face was full of wrinkles. The body is straight, and it has an awe-inspiring bearing.
