Chapter 108: Pegasus Ranch
PS: Ask for recommendations, ask for collections! Thank you for the tip of 'Sendo 2 Pot'!
On the second day, the sun was shining, Ce Tianfeng and Gao Daxing came to a hill, and the fertile fields and pastures were as far as they could see, and the greenery was beautiful, but the Pegasus Ranch had finally arrived.
Pegasus Ranch is in the southwest direction of Jingling, the two tributaries of the Yangtze River, Zhangshui and Fushui, delineate a large triangular fertile plain, the two rivers gurgle through, irrigate the fertile fields on both sides, and finally merge 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.
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, and 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.
There is a city tower at the exit of the gorge, the pit of three zhang wide and five zhang deep is dug out in front of the building, the mouth of the gorge is crossed, the following is covered with spikes, it is necessary to pass by the suspension bridge, there is indeed a husband when the pass, ten thousand people are difficult to cross the trend.
As they re-entered, the different types of livestock were separated by wooden pens, and the shepherds galloped back and forth between the 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.
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, he will never participate in the affairs between the rivers and lakes and the court, and his style is low-key, and he has always been a businessman.
Shang Xiong, the first generation of the owner, was a military general, and he understood the truth of fist proximity, so he encouraged his subordinates to study martial arts and promote martial arts.
Viewed from the front, Pegasus Mountain Castle is even more breathtaking.
The city wall is built according to the mountain, and it is built with a clamour, and it winds along the terrain, and the situation is precipitous. The rock behind the city is exposed, the cave is grand, and it is difficult for birds to cross.
Just outside this majestic and vigorous pasture, there are two people here today, who know that they are extraordinary at first sight.
I saw a person in black clothes with red edges, although it was Mai, but it gave people a kind of arrogant temperament that was difficult to despise, although it looked thin, there was a faint trace of sickness between the eyebrows, but the divine light in the eyes let people know that this person must have his own strengths that are difficult to ignore.
Another little girl, although she is not tall, is born like a jade, with a pair of pearl-like eyes and her pretty and lovely face, just like a porcelain doll, people can't help but want to pinch a few handfuls.
Of course, these two are the two of Ce Tianfeng who are about to enter the interior after touring the periphery of the ranch.
Seeing the two of them coming from a distance, it was obvious that they were not tourists and businessmen who came here, so a team of elite patrols in the ranch quickly patted their horses in front of them.
I saw that one of the people stopped in front of the two of them, turned over and dismounted, hugged his fists and asked, "I don't know what the two of you are doing in the ranch?" ”
I saw this person who asked the question, his face was hard, his eyes were full of energy, obviously his martial arts were not weak, although he was tanned, his teeth were snow-white and neat, which made his not good-looking appearance much more pleasing to the eye.
Ce Tianfeng's eyes swept over his face, and a deep voice came out: "Mo family Ce Tianfeng, come here to meet the ranch master." ”
The visitor was shocked when he heard the Mo family's eyes, and then he clasped his fists again and saluted: "It turned out to be the Mo family's Mo family, please wait for the next horse to report to the steward of the ranch." ”
I saw that his voice fell, turned around and asked a few knights who came with him to say hello, jumped on his horse and ran towards Pegasus Mountain City.
Several knights also dismounted one after another, and when they saw Ce Tianfeng closing their eyes behind his hands, they also felt that this person was afraid that it was difficult to deal with, but it was the little girl on the side who looked like a pink carving, with a pair of big eyes flickering, and she looked a lot easier to talk to, and several guys gathered around Gao Daxing, took out some candy or picked some wild flowers for her, which made Gao Daxing very happy.
Just when a few people were playing happily around Gao Daxing, they even let Gao Daxing ride on his body as a horse, and suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves, and I saw a team of horsemen wearing majestic clothes, followed by a burly bald but not old mighty old man to this side, and the old man was followed by the knight who had just gone to report the news.
The few people who were playing with Gao Daxing were suddenly stunned, and immediately stood up, patted off the dust on their bodies, and pretended not to do anything, and they didn't know if this distance could make the leader unable to see their actions clearly.
Soon the cavalry team came to Ce Tianfeng's side, only to see Ce Tianfeng still standing with his eyes closed and his hands closed, but the person who came was very polite and dismounted and hugged his fists and said: "Old man Shang Zhen, Tian is the archdeacon of Pegasus Ranch, and I have seen the Mo family!" If you are disappointed, please Haihan! ”
Although this person's behavior and language are very modest, the divine light in his eyes seems to be the cultivation of a first-class master, and there is a long-standing majesty hidden in his voice, and knowing that Ce Tianfeng is the Mo family's son obviously has his own source of information to the outside world.
Ce Tianfeng opened and closed his eyes, and a ray of essence shot directly into Shang Zhen's eyes, and a deep voice came out: "Well, I've been here for a short time, can I go in to see the factory owner?" ”
Shang Zhen was surprised in his heart that this curium skill was profound, and when he heard Ce Tianfeng's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted, and smiled: "Of course, of course, curium, please enter." ”
I saw him lead a horse and come to Ce Tianfeng: "Gongzi, please get on the horse." ”
Ce Tianfeng nodded slightly, and the tall star figure wrapped in his sleeves disappeared, and everyone found that the two of them had sat firmly on the horse's back.
Although Shang Zhen was also secretly shocked by Ce Tianfeng's figure, in the end it was a well-informed old Jianghu, he quickly calmed down and greeted him, only to see that as soon as the horse horn sounded, the group rode towards Pegasus Mountain City.
