The residence arranged by Shang Xiuxun for them is in the northwest corner of the inner fort, which is a separate courtyard, with a very quiet environment and exquisite layout.

It can be seen that Shang Xiuxun still attaches great importance to their group.

Da Huang Rong observed the surrounding environment and said, "Husband, have you noticed that the environment here is very special, and it has been specially arranged by a master of horticultural architecture. ”

Zheng Xie said: "I don't know anything about garden architecture, but I think the scenery here looks pretty good and comfortable." ”

Rhubarb Rong said: "The ingenuity of horticultural architecture is here, at first glance there is nothing special, and there is no conspicuous building, but if you taste it carefully, you can find that the whole environment is well versed in the five elements of feng shui, implying the truth of heaven and earth." The layout of this place is still like this, but I don't know which master is the handiwork. ”

"Is there one?"

Zheng Xie stared at the surrounding environment for a long time, but he didn't see any reason for heaven and earth. He had to admit that he had no artistic cells at all, laughed dryly, and said: "The master you said lives in the back mountain, and I will take you to visit him when I have time." ”

"Hmm."

Rhubarb Rong responded.

Zheng Xie took a few girls to hang out in the inner fort, and the warbler Yanyan attracted the attention of countless people.

Unconsciously, the sky was getting dark, and a pretty little girl came to inform them: "A few distinguished guests, the dinner has been prepared, and the owner invites you to the Pegasus Xuan for a banquet." ”

Zheng Xie said: "I haven't asked Miss Fang's name yet." ”

Yahuan said: "The slave is just Yahuan next to the owner, not a young lady, the guest called me Xiaojuan." ”

Zheng Xie said: "Miss Xiaojuan is so well-behaved and lovely, she must be very favored by the owner." Ask Miss Xiaojuan to lead the way. ”

Xiaojuan was very happy in her heart, thinking that this person was very funny, and showed them the way with a pleasant face, while introducing them to the scenery and buildings along the way.

There are seven surnames in the pasture: Shang, Liang, Liu, Tao, Wu, Xu, and Luo, except for the surname Shang is the owner of the farm, the other surnames are all subordinate to the first generation of the farmer Shang Xiong to avoid trouble, and the family slowly formed is now also holding important positions in the ranch.

There are two tables of banquets in Pegasus Xuan, and in addition to Shang Xiuxun, the "owner of the beauty field", there are five dignified men at the main table.

The other table is prepared for Zhao Min, Huang Rong and other women, accompanied by the female relatives of the ranch.

Zheng Xie and Li Jing sat down at the main table and looked at the few people on the table.

Shang Xiuxun introduced Zheng Xie and said: "This is Shang Zhen, the big housekeeper of the inner fort. ”

The chief butler was around fifty years old, a burly bald man, holding a large cigarette pipe in his hand, and was sitting on the seat next to Shang Xiuxun and swallowing clouds. Seeing Zheng Xie and the two looking at him, he took a sharp sip of the cigarette pot, but a sharp gaze suddenly shot out of his eyes, penetrating the smoke like lightning and falling on Zheng Xie.

In the Pegasus Ranch, in addition to Lu Miaozi, there are only four people whose martial arts have reached the first-class level, namely the owner Shang Xiuxun, the chief housekeeper Shang Zhen, the veteran Shang Peng, and the second deacon Liu Zongdao. Of course, although the martial arts of these four people are first-class, they are much worse than Du Fuwei and Li Mi, who are at the peak of the first-class.

Although the martial arts of the remaining three deacons are good, they are only between first-rate and second-rate.

Although Shang Zhen's fierce gaze was not looking at Li Jing, it also made his heart jump suddenly, and his skin and flesh suddenly tensed.

Shang Xiuxun remained silent, and apparently acquiesced in Shang Zhen's actions, as if he wanted to give this frail young man with a white face a disadvantage.

Zheng Xie looked indifferent, and looked back without the slightest fireworks, but secretly carried the soul transference**, his eyes were like a black hole, swallowing all of Shang Zhen's gaze.

After a few breaths, Shang Zhen still sat motionless, Shang Xiuxun didn't know that Shang Zhen had unknowingly fallen into someone else's way, and his heart couldn't help but be shocked, but this time he looked away.

"Ahem."

Shang Xiuxun coughed lightly, brought Shang Zhen back to his senses, and pointed to the people on the left and right sides to continue to introduce: "These deacons of the ranch, Liang Zhi, Liu Zongdao, Tao Shusheng, and Wu Zhaoru. ”

With the experience of the past, the four deacons did not dare to hold up Zheng Xie and nodded their heads.

After she finished speaking, Zheng Xie also introduced: "In Xia Zheng Xie, this is my subordinate general Li Jing. ”

"General Terracotta?" Wu Zhaoru couldn't help but be stunned, paid attention to Zheng Xie, and said, "I don't know where Zheng Shao got into trouble?" How many soldiers and horses do you have? ”

Zheng Xie said: "The uprising is still being prepared, and there are no soldiers under him for the time being, only three healthy horses pulling carts. ”

Wu Zhaoru was young and vigorous, and when he heard this, he said angrily: "Your Excellency is not making fun of us? ”

Zheng Xie said: "Why did the four deacons say this, Zheng is very serious. I came this time to seek cooperation with the ranch. ”

Wu Zhaoru was about to ridicule him, but when he saw Shang Xiuxun waving his hand, he said solemnly: "Pegasus Ranch has had ancestral training since it was born, and it doesn't do the business of accompanying the book, I don't know how many silver taels Zheng Gongzi can come up with?" ”

Zheng Xie looked at Shang Xiuxun, unabashedly showing appreciation, smiled meaningfully, and said, "Shopping mall owner, do you know that the ranch disaster is not far away. ”

The words are not shocking, and they are endless.

The faces of the few people sitting there changed, and the atmosphere suddenly calmed down.

Wu Zhaoru shouted angrily: "Presumptuous." ”

Shang Xiuxun had a pretty face and said, "If Your Excellency can't come up with convincing rhetoric this time, don't blame Xiuxun for not being emotional." ”

Uncle Tao said: "Owner, treat this kind of villain, why bother to tell him any reason, just take them down." ”

Zheng Xie was unmoved at all, and said calmly: "General Li, if you are asked to lead troops to attack the city, how many soldiers and horses will be needed to take the pasture?" ”

Li Jing was stunned, and he didn't know why Zheng Xie would add fuel to the fire at this time, but he still replied honestly: "When I entered the city, I paid attention to the terrain and defense of the pasture. If I were to attack the city, I would need at least tens of thousands of soldiers. In addition, others need to find a way to contain the delaying troops in Xiangyang and Jingling. ”

The people on the ranch are all colorful.

Zheng Xie said again: "If there are people in the field who should cooperate with the outside, how many soldiers and horses are needed?" ”

Li Jing said: "It depends on how much strength this person has in the pasture? ”

Zheng Xie said: "What if such a person is in such a high position, like the four deacons here? ”

Li Jing said categorically: "If this is the case, a thousand elite soldiers are enough!" ”

At the table, someone sneered.

Zheng Xie ignored them and continued to ask, "If you were to rebel against one of the four deacons, how much would it cost?" ”

Li Jing groaned: "It depends on what identity I use to rebel against them. ”

Zheng Xie said: "If you are the strategist of the four major lords or the forces of Wagangzhai and Jianghuai Army, then what? ”

Li Jing swept over the faces of the four deacons and said with a smile: "If I am the strategist of these forces, I only need to send a person who can speak well, and I can rebel against at least one of them without paying any price." ”

Zheng Xie said: "If you are Li Mi or Du Fuwei, do you want to take the treasure land of Pegasus Ranch?" ”

Li Jing said: "I dream of it! ”

A few people sitting listened to Zheng Xie and Li Jing's questions and answers, their faces kept changing, and in the end, they felt even more creepy, as if there was a sharp blade hanging over their heads.

Zheng Xie's gaze swept over the faces of several people, with playful smiles on their faces, as if they had discovered something.

Uncle Tao patted the case and said angrily: "Your Excellency is here to be alarmist and disturb people's hearts, what is your plan?" ”

"I didn't say you were an internal annihilator, why are you so excited."

Zheng Xie said something nonchalantly, which made his heart tremble. He also said: "Does the owner think that the analysis is reasonable?" ”

Although Shang Xiuxun agrees with his conspiracy theory, he must not show cowardice at this moment, otherwise it will definitely make the Pegasus Ranch army feel distraught and everyone will be in danger.

She took a moment to say: "Although what Your Excellency said is reasonable, I believe that the people of the deacons will never defect to the enemy and rebel, ** ranch interests." Then he changed the topic and said, "In business, since Your Excellency wants to seek cooperation with the ranch, you should show your bargaining chips." ”

Zheng Xie smiled lightly, he knew that what he had just said had achieved his goal. Then he said endlessly: "How many silver taels does the mall owner think the news of Yang Gong's treasure house can be worth?" ”

As soon as the words "Yang Gong's Treasure House" came out, they fell like bombs, making the faces of the people sitting in the column change.

Shang Xiuxun's eyes flashed, and he said: "Your Excellency is the one who scared away Yu Culture in Liyang and saved the Rakshasa Woman. ”

Zheng Xie said: "The owner's news is quite well-informed, and it seems that the ranch is not closed and ignorant, and it is completely defenseless. ”

Shang Xiuxun was only shocked for a moment, then quickly gathered his thoughts and said, "Not to mention whether Your Excellency really knows the news of Yang Gong's treasure house, even if it is true, what is the use of Pegasus Ranch coming?" ”

Zheng Xie said with a smile: "The owner of the field is really a businessman, and he never forgets to lower the price." Although Yang Gong's treasure house is useless to the pasture, if this news is released, there will be many people who are willing to make a bid. ”

Shang Xiuxun said indifferently: "Anyone can use the means of empty gloves and white wolves." ”

Zheng Xie said: "It's okay, I'll show the owner some dry goods first." ”

As he spoke, he took out a paper stick from his arms, and threw it away, and the paper stick flew slowly in front of Shang Xiuxun like a butterfly with wings.

Seeing this hand, the people sitting in the column couldn't help but be moved.

Although he made Shang Zhen suffer a dark loss when he first opened the banquet, it was not a real effort, and it was not so convincing in the end.

Although this hand seems simple, it requires absolute control of internal forces, and it is difficult to do without grandmaster-level means.

Shang Xiuxun grabbed the letter in his hand, opened it, and saw that it read: "There are already people among the deacons of Pegasus Ranch who are enemy internal annihilation, if the owner of the farm does not believe it, you can tell them different news separately, and internal annihilation will definitely contact the mastermind behind the scenes and try to get the treasure." At that time, it will be clear who is the internal annihilation. ”

"It turned out to be ......"

At this moment, Shang Xiuxun's mind changed, he opened his mouth and called out two words, his face showed a hint of surprise just right, and he quickly closed his voice, as if he really knew the location where Yang Gong's treasure house was buried.

Then, with a spit of internal force, she shattered the paper stick into pieces.

This girl's acting skills are superb, and they are in no way inferior to her martial arts.

Zheng Xie couldn't help laughing and said, "It seems that the owner has confirmed the truth of this news." ”

Shang Xiuxun said: "What do you want to exchange this news for?" ”

Zheng Xie said confidently: "The requirements below are not high, as long as the owner suspends the transaction with the surrounding forces, he will no longer send out war horses to the takeaway in the past five months." ”

Shang Xiuxun said: "That's it? ”

Zheng Xie said: "That's it. ”

Shang Xiuxun said: "Okay, I agreed." (To be continued.) )
