037: Pegasus Ranch

In the southwest of Jingling County, the two tributaries of the Yangtze River, Zhangshui and Fushui, demarcate a large triangular fertile plain, and the two rivers flow through them, irrigating the fertile fields on both sides of the river, and finally merging into the river.

The climate here is mild, the soil is fertile, the products are abundant, among which the field where the Pegasus Ranch is located, the pasture is more abundant, surrounded by mountains, enclosing more than ten miles of fertile fields, only the east and west two gorges can be entered and exited. The situation is dangerous, forming a natural screen for the pasture.

On the meadows full of pleasing colors, green, green and daisy, more than a dozen lakes of different sizes are dotted like mirrors, and the turquoise water and cyan pastures compete with each other, which is full of brilliance and vitality, and the beauty makes the two of them breathless and admired.

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.

In the northwest corner, there is a magnificent castle built on higher ground, with a steep cliff in the back, and a small river winding like a belt in front, which makes people even more breathtaking.

"It's beautiful, it's like heaven on earth." Looking at such a scene of everything being contented, Miyamoto couldn't help but longing: "Wouldn't it be nice if our island could be so vibrant?" ”

"Soon." Gently patting Miyamoto Rei's head, Poison Island took a deep breath: "Even the air here is much fresher than the next place." ”

"Ah, that pony is so cute!" Ciri Alice's eyes lit up, and she spread her legs and ran towards a red pony in the grass. The pony was so small that it was a pony that had just been born. At this moment, he was leaning around a tall horse, and kept arching towards its belly. Apparently looking for milk to drink.

"Wait Alice, you can't run that fast." Shizuka Jukawa hurriedly chased after her, although the pony didn't look dangerous, but the mare was right next to her, and if the mare went crazy, little Alice wouldn't be able to cope with that situation.

"Mom, I want to ride a pony too." Illya Phil pulled the corner of Alice Fair's skirt and looked up at Alice Fil with a longing expression: "Is it okay?" ”

"Illya is not safe like that, and the horses are not tamed." Alice Phil had the heart to refuse. But after all, it was the daughter's longing eyes that reluctantly agreed: "Then, can you find a tame pony for you to ride later?" ”

"Well, Mom is the best."

"That's right, that's why I hate children." Turning on the lighter with a snap, Nan Lixiang lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, looked at Liu Jian with raised eyes and asked, "Is this really good?" Now that the country is in a very chaotic situation, aren't you worried about them being in danger? ”

"What is there to worry about." Liu Jian smiled, put down Sakura, who showed an excited look in his arms, and motioned for her to play by herself. Then he continued to say to Nan Lixiang: "Speaking of which, everyone has not had a serious trip for a long time, and it is rare to have such a good opportunity this time, so it should be regarded as a spring tour." As for safety, I still trust your marksmanship very much. Both Tsuneko and Rei have the ability to protect others, and Yuriko and Kiriko are a little bit worse, but at least they can protect themselves. And ......"

Liu Jian raised his right hand. Looking at the four spells on it: "Although it can only be used four times, as long as it can be used magic." Even if the three great masters are here, it will be easy to clean up. ”

"Cut. You're not worried about me, what are you worried about? Suck...... ...... "Nan Lixiang took another deep puff of cigarette, exhaled the warm smoke, and looked at the people with smiles on their faces: "But it's also said that it's time to relax and play." Hey, little ones, who wants to hunt? ”

"Me!"

"And me!"

"And me!"

"It's a happy scene, if only I could live so easily every day." With a senseless sigh, Liu Jian grabbed his hair and joined the ranks of frolicking.

Originally, Liu Jian's plan was to take the two people of Poison Island and Li, go and return quickly, solve the problem of Pegasus Ranch, and by the way, tie Lu Miaozi, the world's best talent who has all the skills in martial arts, medicine, institutions, I Ching, astronomy, gardening, architecture, the art of war, gambling, etc., back to Yuhang, to see if his rich knowledge that can be called a library can help Medea's research.

Then, Sakura came.

Liu Jian chose to bring Sakura with him, just to take her for a walk.

As a result, after Sakura came, Ciri Alice also came up and shouted that it was boring to stay in Yuhang and that they wanted to go out together. Then the third Lori, Illiasfil, also arrived. So the three little Lori embarked on the journey together, so since Illya Phil was going out as a mother, Alice Phil would certainly not be at ease, so Alice Phil also joined the team. Shizuka Jukawa says she wants to take care of Ciri Alice, so Shizuka Jukawa joins the team.

Seeing this situation, Liu Jian finally waved his hand, and simply let everyone go together, and it was regarded as a tour.

So, in the end, except for Shan Meixian's mother and daughter, who had to return to Dongming Island to deal with the affairs of the Dongming faction, completely eradicate the Shangbang family, and Artoria and Medea had to sit in Yuhang to avoid accidents and not being able to go together, the rest of the people all drove the two Man off-road RVs on the road together.

Just when everyone was indulging and having fun, a group of knights suddenly appeared on the field in the northwest. The number of people is about 20, and they carry swords and bows. Each of the knights had three horses, all dressed in gray suits, with a winged horse embroidered on the placket, led by a one-eyed man wearing an eye patch.

After thinking about it slightly, and recalling the content of the Tang Shuanglong biography, Liu Jian immediately thought of the identity of this group of people, and at the same time, he was so lucky that he just bumped into the plot that the original protagonist Shuanglong should have experienced.

"Ah Jian!" Poison Island walked to Liu Jian's side and shouted, her eyes looking at Liu Jian. One hand was already pressed on the handle of the authentic knife at his waist.

Zhengzong is a long knife with a blade length of 120 centimeters, which was forged by Liu Jian with the technique of magic forging with 100 refined steel as raw materials. And with magic forging attached to the sharp technique, although it is not as good as Muramasa. But it is also called a first-class divine weapon.

Liu Jian is not the only one whose use of magic and Noble Phantasms is restricted, although it is unlikely to cause problems if he uses Noble Phantasms as ordinary weapons instead of unleashing Noble Phantasm's abilities.

However, for the sake of safety, although Poison Island Tsuneko had Muramasa with him, he asked Liu Jian to forge another long knife with magic forging as a weapon for his usual use.

It's this authentic.

"It's fine." Gently patting Poison Island Tsuneko's shoulder, Liu Jian smiled and said, "I don't feel murderous or murderous intent, so it's not an enemy." And on the contrary, it may be that we are in the way of others. ”

The distance of more than ten miles is a flash for the cavalry. Soon the group of knights roared all the way out of the field. Liu Jian asked the women and Loli to board the RV and close the door tightly, and by the way, Nan Lixiang set up her AWP. Only Liu Jian stood on the avenue with Poison Island Tsuneko and Miyamoto Rei.

Although I know in my heart that these people are not in danger, it is one thing to know that there is no danger, and it is another thing to indulge carelessly. After all, this is not on the retribution number, nor is it in Yuhang City, so it is better to be cautious.

Liu Jian stood on the avenue with two big beauties, and there were two huge Man off-road RVs behind him, and those riders naturally wouldn't fail to notice them. It's just that these knights didn't treat Liu Jian and them as ordinary bandits, bandits, or wandering bandits or something.

On the one hand, it is because Liu Jian's deeds are too open-minded and do not have any sense of sneakiness. On the other hand. No matter who sees beautiful beauties like Tsukashiko Poison Island and Rei Miyamoto, they will never mistake them for bandits. And Liu Jian has gone through the bonus of charm value and natural skills, and now he dares to call himself a handsome B without shame, so he said. There is an advantage to being pretty.

At least people won't think you're a bad guy as soon as they meet.

The knights couldn't help but look at the beautiful faces of Poison Island Tsuneko and Miyamoto Rei, Rao is that they are used to seeing the stunning beauty of their own owner, but now when they see a beautiful woman of the level of Poison Island and Miyamoto Rei. still can't help but be amazed by the two girls.

As for Liu Jian...... Well, although he looks very handsome now. But sure enough, when standing with a beautiful woman, the eye-catching ability is still not enough. Many knights in the ranch have paid most of their attention to the two beautiful women. As for Liu Jian...... As the so-called opposites attract, the same sex repels each other, especially when the same sex is very good and accompanied by more than one extremely beautiful opposite sex, but it is difficult for all men to control themselves from raising some strange and disgusting thoughts.

At the same time, many people put their eyes on the two domineering Man off-road RVs, looking curiously at these big guys with eight wheels, they can at least see that this is a car, but they don't understand that there are neither cattle nor horses in front of this car, can it be dragged by manpower?

Only the one-eyed man in the lead, after seeing Liu Jian's face clearly, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his rough face, and he hurriedly jumped off the back of the horse, hugged his fists at Liu Jian, and asked respectfully: "Dare to ask, but Liu Jian and Liu Daxia of Yuhang are in person?" ”

"It's me, yes." Liu Jian smiled and said, "This should be the second deacon of Pegasus Ranch, the hero of Liu Zongdao." ”

"I have admired Liu Daxia's name for a long time, and I didn't expect that my cheap name could reach Liu Gongzi's ears, which really flattered me!" A flash of surprise flashed in Liu Zongdao's eyes, obviously he didn't expect that Liu Jian, who is now famous all over the world, would know that he was such a small 'ranch deacon', but he couldn't help but feel a sudden burst in his heart.

His name is known to many people in this Pegasus Ranch and around this Jingling. But Liu Jian had never been to the vicinity of Jingling, and he shouldn't have known the name and appearance of such a small ranch deacon. Now that they can call this name as soon as they meet, it is enough to prove that the Liu Gongzi in front of him may have done some research and understanding of Pegasus Ranch.

What would be the purpose of investigating Pegasus Ranch by a tyrannical person like Liu Jian?

It's just that he wants to buy a horse, and the people of Qianshou may not know, but how can he Liu Zongdao not know that this Liu Jian and Liu Gongzi have already occupied Yuhang. He can also be regarded as one of the grass kings who raised an army against the Sui, and the Sui court's conquest army may set off at any time. Now such a character has come to their Pegasus Ranch in person. I'm only afraid of Pegasus Ranch...... It's going to be hard.

Although he thought a lot in his heart, Liu Zongdao's face did not show it. He took a deep look again and said humbly: "Liu Moujie is reckless in the rivers and lakes, how can he be worthy of the word hero?" On the contrary, it is Liu Daxia, who has retired from Yuwen Chengdu since his debut, defeated Yu Culture and, leveled the evil king, killed Bafeng Han, and shocked the world. The word hero is set up for heroes. ”

Ping Evil King...... Word has gotten out of it. Even people like Liu Zongdao know about it?

Liu Jian and Shi Zhixuan's fight, there are only three people who know, namely himself, Shi Zhixuan and Wan Wan. Shi Zhixuan naturally couldn't and didn't have the spare time to publicize this matter for Liu Jian, and Liu Jian never deliberately publicized that he had fought with Shi Zhixuan. Then, the only one who can preach this thing is Wan Wan.

As for why Wan Wan did this, why she publicized this matter is known to the world. Liu Jian can probably guess Wan Wan's purpose, which is nothing more than wanting to add some blockage to himself through this means.

It's not a big deal, though. The bad impact on Liu Jian is nothing, but the good impact is immediate. Hearing Liu Zongdao say that the person in front of him was Liu Jian, who had defeated the evil king Shi Zhixuan. Everyone in the ranch got off their horses in surprise and greeted Liu Jian's luggage.

That's the benefit of fame.

At this time, Liu Jian returned the half-salute to the people in the ranch and said: "You don't have to be more profitable, the meeting between the left and the left is fate, and I was going to go to the Pegasus Ranch." It's my luck to meet all the heroes here. ”

"The hero wants to go to Pegasus Ranch?" Liu Zongdao asked in surprise, and then said, "I don't know what the hero is going to Pegasus Ranch for." If he can help, Liu will definitely do his best. ”

This sentence is very straightforward. is the purpose of asking Liu Jian, but Liu Zongdao is experienced. Although this sentence is the purpose of inquiry, it is not offensive at all.

"It's simple, just buy a horse." Liu Zongdao asked directly, and Liu Jian replied simply: "How many war horses can be sold in Pegasus Ranch, if no one else has already ordered, then I want them all." ”

"Oh, I see." Liu Zongdao felt relieved, if he was just buying a horse, it would really not be a big deal. Pegasus Ranch sells horses for a living, and has business dealings with various rebel armies and even three of the four major lords, so he is not worried about Liu Jian coming to buy horses. The reason why Liu Zongdao was worried before was that Liu Jian would rely on his own martial arts to take it by force.

"It is an honor for Pegasus Ranch to have Liu Daxia here. also asked Gongzi Rong Liu to be the child's guide. ”

Liu Zongdao took the initiative to ask to lead the way for Liu Jian, and Liu Jian naturally did not allow it. I called the girls in the two RVs down to introduce them to the ranch people, and followed them to the Pegasus Club. During the period, all kinds of confusion and shock caused by the movement of the off-road RV were perfunctory by Liu Jian in the name of the Mojia technique.

It is said that thousands of years ago, the public transport class could make a wooden kite that could carry people, and now more than a thousand years later, it seems that the Mo family can make a strange car that can run automatically on eight wheels, and it doesn't seem to be a big deal.

Shang Xiong, the owner of the Pegasus Ranch who built the first generation of this castle, was a military general at the end of the Jin Dynasty, when Liu Yu was the Jin Dynasty, changed the name of the country to Song, and the world was divided. In order to avoid the scourge of war, Shang Xiong led his men and his clansmen to the south, and found this hidden valley by coincidence, so he lived and worked here in peace and contentment, and established a pasture.

In the 160 years from the establishment of the ranch to the unification of the world by the Sui Dynasty, the Pegasus Ranch experienced seven owners, all of whom were inherited by the Shang family and had supreme authority. The others are Liang, Liu, Tao, Wu, Xu, Luo and other ethnic groups, after more than 100 years of reproduction, they did not stop moving out of the surrounding areas, forming nearby towns, to the two big cities of Yuan'an and Dangyang, more than half of their inhabitants are from Pegasus Ranch.

Pegasus Ranch is also the economic lifeline of this region, producing high-quality horses, famous all over the world, but because the owner pursues ancestral teachings, never participates in the affairs between the rivers and lakes and the imperial court, has a low-key style, and has always been a businessman, so Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling have not heard anyone mention it.

Because the owner pursues the ancestral teachings, the style is low-key, strictly neutral, and has always only done business, so he has a bad reputation in the rivers and lakes. Only the major forces that intend to dominate the world, because of the trade of war horses, are well aware of the existence of Pegasus Ranch.

Shang Xiong, the first generation of the owner, was born as a military general, and he knew that if he wanted to be stable for a long time, he must rely on his fists, so he encouraged his subordinates to study martial arts and promote martial arts.

When the government was unable to maintain order, Pegasus Ranch became the mainstay of this area to protect the territory and the people, sweeping away bandits, fighting against the rout of the neighbors, and guarding the safety of a place, so it was quite respected by the neighbors. Liu Zongdao's line of more than 20 cases was to fight against a group of Sui court routs who plundered the township, and returned to the ranch after completing the task, but met Liu Jian and others at the entrance of the ranch.

Now, under the leadership of Liu Zongdao, who is familiar with the family, Liu Jian and his entourage have entered the inner fort of Pegasus Ranch all the way. (To be continued.) )
