Chapter 24: Pegasus Ranch
Chen Jing caught up with Shan Wanjing in Dongping.
He and Shan Wanjing had a good meal together in the mansion of the Great Confucian Wangtong, which was regarded as celebrating his harvest.
Although he encountered a target who was about to kill during the meal, Chen Jing did not make a move.
It's not that he doesn't make a move in order to eat well, he hasn't eaten to this extent. It's that he's not prepared to kill the target right now.
Because this goal is Ba Fenghan.
He has just entered the Central Plains now, and he has not died everywhere, and killing him now will not benefit him at all except for the income of the source of the world. It's better to wait until the heroes gather in Luoyang and kill him when Cihang Jingzhai is the Chosen Emperor. At that time, killing him would not only gain a high reputation, but also make the relatives and friends of the person killed by Ba Fenghan grateful to Chen Jing, and maybe there would be some people who would do so.
At the banquet, he also met Shi Qingxuan. One of the most beautiful women in the Tang Dynasty.
Chen Jing was also a little curious about Shi Qingxuan's appearance, but he didn't follow him hungrily like Bafenghan and others.
Shi Qingxuan's greatest value lies in the evil king Shi Zhixuan and the cheats she is in charge of, such as the Immortal Seal Method, the Great Law of Changing the Sun, and the Tyrant Sword Spectrum, as well as her not weak martial arts and almost Dao skills, but the appearance of this kind of appearance is the most useless.
But Chen Jing still didn't go to find this woman.
Although Shi Qingxuan's martial arts mastery are powerful, they are not very compatible with Chen Jing's path, and he doesn't want to intersect with Shi Zhixuan's mental illness now. Now Shi Zhixuan, as long as he hears that a man has an intersection with Shi Qingxuan, no matter what the intersection is, he will go crazy and shoot. Although Chen Jing was not afraid of Shi Zhixuan in this schizophrenic state, he didn't want to cause this trouble. Shi Zhixuan can't kill him, can't he kill the people around him? If Shi Zhixuan killed the backbone of his New Deal, or even killed the skilled workers during the Westernization Movement that he was about to recruit, it would be really fucked up.
Chen Jing rushed directly to Pegasus Ranch with Shan Wanjing.
That's what he's doing.
……
Zhangshui and Fushui, in the southwest of Jingling County, join the Yangtze River, alluvial a large fertile delta. Today's world-famous Pegasus Ranch is located in the middle.
Shang Xiong, the first generation of Pegasus ranch owners who built this castle, was a military general at the end of the Jin Dynasty. When the world was in turmoil, Shang Xiong led his men and his clansmen to the south to avoid the disaster of war, and found this hidden valley by coincidence, so he lived and worked here in peace and contentment, and established a pasture, which has been 160 years so far.
The owner of this generation is the seventh grandson of Shang Xiong, named Shang Xiuxun, who is an extremely beautiful woman.
She and Shan Wanjing are best friends.
Shang Xiuxun naturally invited Shan Wanjing to a banquet.
"Wanjing, why do you have time to come to me? I heard that Madame is ready to completely withdraw from the Central Plains and no longer trade with the major forces in the Central Plains, is it true? Could it be that something happened to Dongming faction? During the banquet, Shang Xiuxun asked casually.
She doesn't really care about these things, but when her best friend comes, she always has to find something to say.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.
Shan Wanjing was embarrassed by something, and when she heard this, she almost thought that Shang Xiuxun knew something.
But fortunately, she reacted immediately, knowing that Shang Xiuxun couldn't know anything, so she settled down to chat with Shang Xiuxun.
"It's nothing. It's just that my mother thinks that the current Central Plains is too chaotic, and the strength of the Dongming faction is limited, so she can't participate in it anymore. ”
"Well, I think so too. But my Pegasus Ranch is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, but I can't avoid it at all......" Shang Xiuxun sighed when he heard this.
Of course, she didn't notice anything. Shan Wanjing had completely calmed down her embarrassment, and her tone was very normal.
It's just that deep down in her heart, she still can't stop having some hidden worries.
Mr. Chen does this, no problem...... Right?
……
Chen Jing, who was being nagged by Shan Wanjing, was wandering around the Pegasus Ranch.
He came to find Lu Miaozi. However, he didn't know the specific location of Lu Miaozi.
Anyway, the plan needs the horses of Pegasus Ranch, so let's just look at the condition first. The ranch is so big, Lu Miaozi's comfort house is still a two-story building, and it is not difficult to find it.
"Sir, interested in the horses on my ranch?" Someone said to Chen Jing.
Although Chen Jing didn't ask the ranch people to accompany him, the enthusiastic ranch people still spontaneously found him.
Although he was just an ordinary rider, it was enough to explain to Chen Jing, a semi-layman.
"How fast can a horse run on the ranch?" Chen Jing asked.
"If you want to say that my horse can run about 500 miles in one day and night, and in the short distance, it can run seventeen or eighteen miles in half a cup of tea at the earliest." The rider replied.
Chen Jing silently calculated in his heart. The rider's horse was traveling at about fifty kilometers per hour, which was about the same as he had heard. Horses are not a species that can endure, and running at a given distance can even lose to trained humans. Even according to Daniel Lieberman, a professor of biology at Harvard University in the United States, all quadrupeds cannot run continuously at a fast speed like a human marathon. There is only one result of running like a human, and these quadrupeds will die of exhaustion (students can consult the relevant information, the author does not understand this, but reluctantly checked it in the squirrel club).
"How's the weight?" Chen Jing asked again.
"Hah, looks like you're going to buy some horses? Let me tell you, our horses are absolutely the best, and even the Turkic horses are not as good as ours. Our horses can sprint seven or eight miles with a weight of 400 pounds. The rider said.
This one...... It seems to be beyond the limits of horses, right? Chen Jing thought to himself. But maybe the creatures in the martial arts world are a little different.
Pegasus Ranch is not yet going to sell horses in the form of lying.
"That's amazing." Chen Jing praised it, and then raised a question that needed more attention.
"Does the feed need anything special?"
"It doesn't have to be very special, but the daily feed has to be concentrate." "But you also know that these horses are rare and will go bad if you don't feed them with concentrate." ”
Chen Jing was silent for a moment, although it was a little scary that he had to feed concentrate feed, he could barely afford it. But listening to the rider, this kind of horse doesn't seem to be an ordinary horse, so ......
"How many of these horses are there in the ranch?" Chen Jing asked.
"About five hundred horses......" The rider hesitated, but told the truth.
Okay, it turns out that I was subconsciously bragging. Five hundred, this is not an ordinary horse at all. Chen Jing thought to himself.
"How much can you sell me?" He asked.
"I'll have to ask the owner. However, three hundred of these horses already belonged to the ranch cavalry. Even if the owner sells, he will sell it for a maximum of 100 ......" rider road.
Get...... This also turns the current Black Ice Iron Guard into a Black Ice Super Heavy Iron Rider. Chen Jing sighed in his heart. Isn't it, my dream of being invincible to the Iron Army is going to turn into a pure dream today.
No, Shang Xiuxun must be persuaded to sell him more horses. Otherwise, you must subdue her, or get this method of raising horses from her. Chen Jing made up his mind.
