Chapter 368: Birds and Fish
After Li Jing's battle, Mo Fei entered his barracks and talked freely.
But obviously, Mo Fei didn't have anything to say to this bad old man, except for leaving a bunch of books carrying novel ideas, and took Bai Qing'er and the concubine away with him.
And then......
Murphy entered the Pegasus Ranch alone.
I don't mean anything else, I just want to thank Shang Xiuxun for providing more than 30,000 excellent war horses to the Jingling Army at a super low price.
Even though Kou Zhong's side has gradually climbed the tech tree and made thermal weapons, cavalry is still a very important branch of the war.
I didn't see the confrontation between our army and the devils during the eight-year War of Resistance, and there were still often cavalry appearances.
Therefore, Shang Xiuxun provided Li Jing with a large number of war horses at an ultra-low price, not only because of the price, but also because of its strong strategic value, which is worthy of Mo Fei's personal thanks.
Once again, he was in Pegasus Ranch, and Murphy couldn't help but marvel at the magnificent scenery of Pegasus Ranch.
From any angle, the end of the grassland is a series of undulating mountain peaks, stretching endlessly.
In this paradise like a fairyland, there are all kinds of livestock - white sheep, yellow or gray cattle, horses of all colors, each of which rests and makes the whole farm and pasture more colorful.
On the higher ground in the northwest corner is the castle of Pegasus Ranch, which is backed by a steep cliff and a small river that winds like a belt, making people even more breathtaking.
The person who came to greet Mo Fei was still an old acquaintance, Liu Zongdao, the second deacon of Pegasus Ranch.
Along the way, the two sides talked and laughed, and after entering the farm pasture, they re-mounted their horses and galloped on the gravel road towards Pegasus Castle.
The different types of livestock were separated by wooden pens, and the shepherds galloped back and forth between the wooden pens, shouting and shouting, while the peasants worked silently in the fields, and the ploughing cattle occasionally whispered and mingled with the neighing of horses and sheep.
After entering the city, there is a wide ramp that extends upwards to the inner fort where the highest farm owner lives, and the houses on both sides are continuous, and they are connected to the ramp by branch roads, which is characteristic of a mountain town.
The road is full of people and cars, just like a thriving big city, and children are even more frolicking in groups.
The buildings are all rough and simple, built of stones, and the shape is magnificent. Along the way, the bell pavilion, the archway, the door is heavy, and the simplicity shows the heroic spirit of the city builder.
The inner fort is even more large-scale, the main building has five halls, and there is a side hall corridor. The large hut is in an orderly manner, decorated with garden flowers and trees, small bridges and waterfalls, elegant and pleasant.
When Mo Fei, Liu Zongdao and the others were walking on the road unhurriedly, they suddenly heard the sound of thunderous horses' hooves in front of them.
Shang Xiuxun's beautiful face first caught his eye.
Approaching Mo Fei and the others, Shang Xiuxun tightened the reins, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and his movements were clean and neat.
Just two horses apart, Mo Fei smiled lightly: "Xiuxun, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
"Hmm." Shang Xiuxun's beautiful eyes also flashed a hint of surprise, but she covered it up well, and said in a light tone: "I was training a BMW that just came in from the Western Regions, but I didn't expect to hear them say that you came to visit, so I came to see you." ”
"It won't bother you, will it?" Murphy Dao.
"No!" Shang Xiuxun shook his head lightly and said, "The matter of horse training, don't be in a hurry, it's okay a few days later!" ”
"Actually, I'm also quite curious about horse training, why don't you take me to the racecourse to find out what is going on in Xiuxun to satisfy my curiosity?" Murphy said with a smile.
Shang Xiuxun thought for a while and said, "Okay! ”
The matter of horse training is not a big secret that cannot be heard, and for people like Shang Xiuxun, who grew up in the horse farm since childhood, there is a lot of fun in it.
So, Mo Fei, the guest, did not play his cards according to the routine, instead of catching the wind and washing the dust, he followed Shang Xiuxun's side and went towards the horse farm of Pegasus Ranch.
The other people in Pegasus Ranch were also very eye-catching, and they automatically lagged behind Mo Fei and Shang Xiuxun by a few positions, allowing Mo Fei and Shang Xiuxun to go together.
In fact, Shang Xiuxun is not young now, and she is an older young woman in Bensan.
At this time in the Great Sui, it was very common to marry at the age of thirteen or fourteen, such as Li Shimin's wife, the eldest grandson Wujian, who married Li Shimin at the age of thirteen or fourteen.
At Shang Xiuxun's current age, she can be called a leftover woman.
Therefore, many things should be rushed.
Otherwise, are you going to let the merchant descend in the future?
Shang Xiuxun's ability is quite good, she accepted the Pegasus Ranch from her mother Shang Qingya when she was a girl, and now, the Pegasus Ranch is thriving under her operation, and the accumulation of wealth has risen by at least three or four levels.
After all, Shang Xiuxun's good genes roughly determine that her IQ and EQ are not much worse than that.
Father Lu Miaozi is the smartest person in the world, and her mother Shang Qingya is a person who impresses Lu Miaozi in many aspects such as chess.
The people in Pegasus Ranch are generally wealthy, without the suffering of hunger and cold, and because the Jingling Army led by Li Jing is in front of Pegasus Ranch, there is no harm from war, and the elders naturally have to consider the heir of their Pegasus Ranch.
"I'm here this time, mainly to thank you, Xiuxun." The corners of Mo Fei's mouth raised a gentle smile, and he said, "Providing the Jingling Army's excellent war horses at a low price has made you spend a lot, right?" ”
"It's just about helping each other." Shang Xiuxun didn't take credit, but said with a faint smile: "Pegasus Ranch has accumulated wealth for hundreds of years, but it is not strong enough to completely protect this wealth, so our transaction with Jingling Army is just to buy peace with money." ”
"Xiuxun, what are you talking about...... It's not like a businessman talking. Mo Fei blinked his eyes and said, "I don't believe Xiuxun, you have been running a huge Pegasus Ranch for so many years, and you can't even say beautiful words to your partners." ”
It is not a good idea to forcibly pretend to be cold in front of him, Demon Seed Fei, because he can easily see through a person's mood swings.
For his arrival...... Well, how to say it, Shang Xiuxun is generally very happy, maybe it's just that some details are flawed.
Shang Xiuxun glanced at Mo Fei lightly with a pair of beautiful eyes, and did not respond to Mo Fei's words, but said: "I heard that you are in Yang Guang's Jiangdu Palace, and you are an existence like the emperor, how is it, is it fun?" ”
"It's not fun!" Mo Fei shook his head and said.
"Why?" Shang Xiuxun said: "That's Yang Guang's palace, the most luxurious and gorgeous place in the world, it's not fun, what's so fun?" ”
Mo Fei sighed and said, "Everything there is made of gold, even the ship is made of gold, and it is difficult to fall asleep!" I haven't had a good night's sleep since I got there. ”
Shang Xiuxun: "......"
"It's not funny at all." Shang Xiuxun glanced at Mo Fei.
"Isn't it funny? I think it's funny! Mo Fei said: "Or, I'll tell Xiuxun something funny to you again?" ”
Hey, today's women are really hard to serve, and they obviously want to laugh, but they forcibly hold back.
If it weren't for the fact that I had the demon seed in my body, how could I find out your mind?
A woman's heart, a needle under the sea, is really true.
"Forget it!" Shang Xiuxun said angrily: "I'm not interested in your boring jokes." ”
If it really made him laugh for a while, how could she maintain the majesty of her owner.
Next, Shang Xiuxun chased after Mo Fei to ask about the matter since he left the Pegasus Ranch.
Of course, Mo Fei used the Spring and Autumn brushwork to tell Shang Xiuxun about the new things along the way.
While talking, the two also came to the racecourse.
As far as I could see, I saw a very beautiful horse.
On its back was a young man from the Pegasus Ranch, and the horse struggled desperately, and the horse's head was raised high, trying to throw the man on its back out of the horse.
The young man hugged the horse's neck, his legs clamped around the horse's belly, and endured the horse's shaking.
Seeing that the horse was unsuccessful, the horse rolled on the spot......
"What kind of horse is that? It looks so different from a normal horse! Murphy asked curiously.
"Sweaty BMW!" Shang Xiuxun said leisurely.
"Sweaty BMW?" Murphy was stunned.
Even if he is not an equestrian enthusiast, of course he has heard of the name of the sweaty BMW!
Born in the Akhal Oasis between the Kopet Mountains and the Karakum Desert in Turkmenistan, it is one of the oldest horse breeds in the world that has been bred for more than 3,000 years.
It is usually about 1.5 meters tall, with a full and graceful body, a thin head and a high neck, slender limbs, thin skin and fine hairs, light and elegant steps, a slender and graceful body, and a curved and high neck to outline its perfect body curve.
In addition, the horse's shoulders and neck sweat glands are well developed, and horses often get wet when they sweat, and for horses with jujube red or maroon hair, the local color will appear more vivid after sweating, giving people the illusion of "bleeding".
"I bought it from Hu Shang at a great cost." Shang Xiuxun couldn't help but have a smug smile on his face at this time, and said: "It is estimated that he only shouted a high price when he saw this horse Shenjun, instead of knowing its true details, otherwise I will pay ten times the price, and I am afraid that I will not be able to buy this horse." ”
Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went on an expedition to Dawan, the people of China, who still don't know the name of the bloody horse.
Either its actual value or its fame alone can be sold at a very high price.
Speaking of this, Shang Xiuxun showed a little regret on his face, and said: "It's just that this horse's temperament is too strong, even I can't tame it." ”
Murphy laughed and said, "I'll teach you a way to tame this horse." ”
"You?" Shang Xiuxun looked at Mo Fei with some suspicion.
Mo Fei chuckled, "Prepare three things, a steel whip, an iron hammer, and a dagger." ”
"What's the use?"
Murphy smiled and said, "The horse lives to be ridden, and if it doesn't let you ride it, you whip it; If they could not accept it, they struck it on the head with a hammer; If you don't accept it again, you just slaughter it with a dagger! ”
Shang Xiuxun was stunned.
"Don't be stingy with the value of sweat and blood, and don't dare to hurt it, otherwise you won't be able to subdue it in your life!" Mo Fei said indifferently: "Only with the spirit of breaking the cauldron can you have the opportunity to subdue a thousand miles like a sweaty BMW, and only then can you be worthy of it." ”
"It's just up to you how you choose."
For Shang Xiuxun, a treasure like a sweat-blooded BMW, even if no one can subdue and stay to be Dumas, it will also have a lot of benefits for Pegasus Ranch.
Fixed thinking restrained her, and she didn't think about subduing the sweat and blood in the most decisive way.
Listening to Mo Fei's words, Shang Xiuxun hesitated a little.
But how can a woman like her, who drives a racecourse, not desire to subdue a horse like a sweaty BMW?
After hesitating for a while, Shang Xiuxun finally made up his mind, gritted his silver teeth, and asked people to prepare steel whips, hammers, and daggers.
So I saw her with a hammer and dagger in her waist, and a steel whip in her hand, boldly approaching the sweaty BMW.
When the sweaty BMW saw people coming again, he snorted and frequently kicked his hooves to prevent people from approaching.
Shang Xiuxun raised the steel whip, snapped, and whipped the fierce horse a few times, without mercy, and rode up at the moment when the horse was in pain.
When the fierce horse saw that the person was up, he repeated the old trick again, jumping and jumping vigorously, trying to throw the person down.
Shang Xiuxun grabbed its neck hair tightly, raised the hammer and slammed it on the horse's head, and the fierce horse was hammered, and suddenly neighed sadly.
In the end, under the coercion of Shang Xiuxun's dagger, the sweaty BMW who felt the crisis of life and death still obediently lurked.
Looking at Shang Xiuxun, who was galloping on a sweaty BMW and laughing heartily on the grassland, Mo Fei pursed his lips and smiled.
……
Thanks to Mo Fei's help she subdue the sweaty BMW, Shang Xiuxun finally stopped maintaining that arrogant appearance in front of Mo Fei, and also had a smile on Mo Fei.
And Mo Dumas Fei naturally would not let go of this good opportunity, and the relationship between the two quickly warmed up.
However, as far as Murphy's experience is concerned, the two ...... It's a little bit short.
Therefore, after five or six days at the Pegasus Ranch, Murphy set off again, leaving the Pegasus Ranch to prepare for Kou Zhong's Young Marshal Army to check on the situation.
Before Murphy left, he sent a letter to Shang Xiuxun.
Standing on the high wall cast by Pegasus Ranch, Shang Xiuxun was dressed in a strong suit, full of heroism, with a pretty face with soft lines, bright red and soft cherry red lips, a beautiful and delicate nose, and a beautiful and delicate chin, with a charming atmosphere since ancient times.
The eyebrows are raised, the cheeks are condensed, the nose is greasy and goose fat, the cherry lips are slightly opened, the shell teeth are finely dewed, the jet-black hair is draped behind the shoulders, and the watery and shining eyes are shining with wisdom, shining with a pure, noble and elegant temperament.
After looking at Mo Fei's dashing and distant back, even with Shang Xiuxun's down-and-out generosity, he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.
Taking a deep breath and calming down, Shang Xiuxun still opened the letter that Mo Fei gave her.
[The farthest distance in the world is not life and death, but I am standing in front of you, but you don't know that I love you. 】
[The farthest distance in the world, it's not that I'm standing in front of you, but you don't know that I love you, but you love to the point of obsession, but you can't say I love you. 】
[The farthest distance in the world, it's not that I can't say I love you, but I want you to be painful, but I can only bury it deep in my heart. 】
[The farthest distance in the world is not that I can't say I miss you, but that I love each other, but I can't be together. 】
[The farthest distance in the world is not to love each other, but not to be together, but to know that true love is invincible, but to pretend not to care. 】
[Therefore, the farthest distance in the world is not the distance between trees, but the branches that grow from the same root, but they cannot cling to each other in the wind. 】
[The farthest distance in the world is not that the branches of the trees cannot rely on each other, but the stars that look at each other, but there is no track of intersection. 】
[The farthest distance in the world is not that the stars do not intersect, but that even if the trajectories meet, they are nowhere to be found in the blink of an eye. 】
[The farthest distance in the world is not that it is nowhere to be found in an instant, but that it is destined to be unable to meet before it has yet to meet. 】
[The farthest distance in the world is the distance between fish and birds, one soars in the sky, and the other dives deep under the sea......]
