Chapter 13: The Divine Horse Chasing the Wind (I)
In the southwest of Jingling, Zhangshui, frustrated water passes, is a verdant field, the land here is fertile, the fertile field is endless, the abundant pasture grass points to the green posture, the south of the field, surrounded by mountains, the most abundant place of pasture, it is the Pegasus pasture, among them, there are only two narrow paths running through the inside and outside, the terrain is dangerous, it can be called a natural barrier, the cottage is built according to the mountain, there is a kind of one husband when the pass, the momentum of ten thousand people can not be opened.
At this time, on the field, a convoy walked slowly, the breeze gently blew the grass, making people feel refreshed, around the convoy, there were more than 100 cavalry, wearing black armor, exuding a tragic bloody atmosphere, which was daunting, these knights were all survived on the battlefield.
"Pegasus Ranch really lives up to its name." A pleasant female voice sounded, and in the middle of a carriage in the convoy, a woman with bright eyes and bright teeth opened the curtain and came out, looked around carefully, and looked at the surrounding terrain with smart and flashing wisdom in her eyes, her eyes flashed with amazement, but she was really thinking in her heart, if she led the troops to attack, where to start?
Just thought about it for a long time, but there was no flaw to follow, except for the strong attack, she couldn't think of any other way, and couldn't help but secretly admire: "The terrain here is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the ancestors of Pegasus Ranch really had a vision." "There is an indescribable style to the appearance of the distraction, which makes people's hearts sway.
"Xiuning, it's been a bumpy journey, but it's hard for you." It was a slender man with a pair of piercing eyes, who had not left for a moment since the woman appeared, and his eyes flashed with love.
This woman is Li Xiuning, the third lady of the Li family, and the man next to her is Chai Shao, who had been on the Wild Goose Peak with Lu Bu in the Liuma Plain, and is also Li Xiuning's fiancΓ©.
Li Xiuning smiled gently, shook his head and said, "The scenery here is beautiful, and Xiuning doesn't feel hard. Although he was talking to Chai Shao, Li Xiuning's eyes were nostalgic for the surrounding mountains and did not let go of any place.
Seeing that Li Xiuning didn't even look at himself, Chai Shao felt a little dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, just followed Li Xiuning with a smile, he was already handsome, but now he is quiet, just like a turbid son, he has a graceful demeanor, and the two generals on the side nodded secretly, Chai Gongzi and his own young lady walked together, it is indeed like a pair made in heaven.
Li Xiuning didn't know what everyone was thinking, seeing that the Pegasus Ranch was close in front of him, he was thinking about the benefits he could get from going to the Pegasus Ranch this time.
She had been to Pegasus Ranch when she was young, but she was young at the time, and she didn't have so many thoughts now, thinking of the ranch, her childhood close friend, who hadn't been in contact for several years, I don't know how she is now?
Chai Shao didn't know what Li Xiuning thought, so she only said that she liked the scenery here, and said: "If Xiuning likes it, we can play here for a few days!" Li Xiuning frowned, Chai Shao was born in a family of military generals, and his martial arts are not bad, especially since he came back from the Wild Goose Palace, his strength has improved a lot.
It's just that in terms of the art of war, but it is really a layman, at this time, a war horse suddenly accelerated and ran a few steps, and came to the other side of Li Xiuning, and immediately knighted ten burly men, with a long knife hanging from his waist, and his gestures were full of the iron-blooded temperament of a soldier, which made people involuntarily respect.
happened to hear the conversation between the two, and the man smiled: "Third Miss, but thinking about the topography of this Pegasus Ranch?" β
Li Xiuning looked over and saw the big man, he couldn't help but smile slightly, this person was one of Li Xiuning's guards this time, Li Xiuning smiled and said: "Xiuning just wants to establish the Pegasus Ranch The person is an amazing character!" β
At this time, Chai Shaofang came to his senses, remembering that Li Xiuning was a woman who did not let him shave his eyebrows, and hurriedly said: "The Pegasus Ranch here is really amazing...... I wanted to continue, but I didn't know what to say.
Li Gang on the side glanced at Chai Shao, and thought in his heart: "This Chai Gongzi's martial arts are not bad, but unfortunately in terms of the art of war, it is a straw bag, which is a pity!" β
Li Gang said: "The Pegasus Ranch here was built in the late Jin Dynasty, the first generation of the owner Shang Xiong was born as a military general, in order to avoid trouble, brought his family here, saw that the terrain here is dangerous, so he operated the ranch, built a bunker, here is located in a remote area, not a strategic place, so there is not much covetous eyes, after seven generations of owners to operate, gradually became the climate, and this Pegasus Ranch has a precept not to participate in the court and the rivers and lakes in the right and wrong, but is deeply aware of the way to protect oneself, out of the matter, so this Pegasus Farm can concentrate on the surrounding towns to penetrate, There are even guards, but it has become a major force in Jingling! β
Li Xiuning sighed: "Not a brick or tile is natural, the predecessors have a blue thread, and there is the prosperity of Pegasus Ranch today!" "After that, I sighed.
Li Gang smiled, he didn't have Li Xiuning's sentimentality, he pointed to the terrain of the ranch and said: "Third Miss, you see, this is surrounded by mountains, the terrain is dangerous, as long as you build fortifications and divide troops to guard, then only one road will be left, you see that the bunker building is built according to the terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is a good place!" β
Li Xiuning's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he secretly admired in his heart, at this time, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and everyone looked at it, and it was when they saw the dust in front of them, and everyone couldn't help but be on guard.
Li Gang said: "Third Miss, be careful! It is said that there are horse thieves in the Jingling area, specializing in robbing passing merchants! β
Li Gang shouted angrily: "Everyone be on guard! The Xuanjia soldier had already drawn out his blade, and he was waiting for the battle, and when he was close, Li Gang sighed, led by a big man, it was Dou Wei sent by Li Xiuning to report, and Li Xiuning looked at the galloping horse, the light in her eyes rippled, she was quite insightful, and saw more than 100 horses galloping behind Dou Wei, and the athletes were all extraordinary, and thought in her heart: "The guards of this ranch are not bad, but they are only used to guard a small pasture, which is a pity!" β
The horse's hooves galloped, stepping on the green grass, splashing the black soil, the sound of the horse's hooves rumbling like thunder, shaking people's ears numb, although it was more than 100 rides, but this power was frightening, not long after, the more than 100 horses had come to the front of the convoy, Dou Wei was next to a one-eyed man, his eyes were blazing, breathtaking, it was the second deacon of Pegasus Ranch Liu Zongdao.
Under the guidance of Liu Zongdao, the convoy walked towards the Pegasus Ranch, and Li Xiuning said at this time: "Mr. Liu, I heard that recently, there have been horse thieves in the Jingling area, and even the war horses of the Pegasus Ranch dare to rob them, I don't know if there is such a thing?" β
Liu Zongdao's face showed a trace of cold killing intent, and it was fleeting, and he said: "It's just a clown jumping off the beam, third miss, please rest assured!" β
Hearing Liu Zongdao's words, Li Xiuning knew that this person was just hard-mouthed, so he stopped talking, just looked around, and the convoy slowly walked on a gravel paved path, at this time, he could see the majesty of the Pegasus Ranch, the bunker built by the mountain, the momentum was like a monster, it was terrifying, the suspension bridge was put down on the moat, and everyone saw two teams of knights on both sides of the bridge, these cavalry were quite strong, holding a torch in their hands, and Li Xiuning saw a white horse under the firelight Ning standing in the center, Above was a heroic female knight, and when she saw Li Xiuning, the woman whispered: "Xiuning!" β
It was the ranch owner Shang Xiuxun who came, she was lonely since she was a child, her surname was quite withdrawn, the merchant was friendly with the Li family, the two daughters had known each other since childhood, and they became friends with handkerchiefs, but over the years, the world has not been quiet, there are thieves on the road, and the two women have not met for a while, and now when they see it, they can't help but sigh.
With a smile on his face, Shang Xiuxun glanced at the personable man standing beside Li Xiuning, and asked, "Who is this?" β
Li Xiuning hurriedly introduced: "This is Chai Shao, the son of the Linfen Chai family. β
When Chai Shao introduced him to Li Xiuning, he couldn't help but straighten his chest slightly, with a smile on his face that he thought was the most perfect, and arched his hand to Shang Xiuxun and said, "Chai Shao has seen the owner of the shopping mall. β
"Chai Gongzi doesn't have to pay much attention." Shang Xiuxun returned the salute, looked at Li Xiuning with a little teasing, and said, "Could it be that this is Xiuning's fiancΓ©?" β
Li Xiuning's face flushed slightly, she didn't speak, but she didn't deny it, it was a tacit acquiescence, Shang Xiuxun originally just wanted to make a joke, but she didn't expect it to be true, she smiled at the moment, didn't say anything more, and shifted the topic to other aspects.
"Roar~"
While the two women were talking, they were about to enter the bunker, when suddenly, there was a sound in the distance that seemed to be the sound of a horse's roar, but more like a beast's roar, and everyone's horses seemed to be frightened, and they stopped one by one, letting the knights on the horse beat them, and refused to move.
"What is this?" Li Xiuning looked in surprise in the direction where the voice came from, and there were seven or eight people in between, all dressed in strong suits, surrounded by a war horse with a dark body and three feet taller than ordinary people.
Although Li Xiuning is a woman, but it is a family of generals, and she is also quite good at the art of horses, when she saw this black horse, her eyes couldn't help but light up, this war horse was two feet tall, and her body was two feet long, and her black mane was shiny and shiny, like satin.
Although the neck was put on a rope, he kept his head held high and struggled hard, Li Xiuning could see that the seven people surrounding the war horse were all skilled, but the seven people worked together, and they couldn't suppress it, but they were kicked by the horse coldly.
"This is ......" Li Xiuning turned his head to look at Shang Xiuxun in shock, this divine horse of war horses is really the only one he has seen in his life.
"It's called chasing the wind, it was caught occasionally on the grassland last time, and it was not lightly injured by a stranger at that time, and the people of the ranch, seeing its divine horse, brought it back together, but this horse is untamable, and the surname is bursting, and no one has been able to tame it." Shang Xiuxun said a little helplessly, as the owner of Pegasus Ranch, she naturally likes such a divine war horse.
