Chapter 235: Pegasus Ranch
Pegasus Ranch is located in the southwest of Jingling County, 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.
The owner, Shang Xiuxun, is a descendant of the military generals of the late Jin Dynasty, who is not only beautiful, but also shrewd and capable. After more than 160 years of painstaking construction, Pegasus Ranch is now well-known at home and abroad under the leadership of Shang Xiuxun, but it has also attracted the covetousness of the four major Kou.
On this day, the second deacon Liu Zongdao was patrolling with more than a dozen people, one person and two horses, and suddenly saw someone coming to the pasture, and from a distance, it was three men and two women, it was Wang Jing and Mu Wanqing and his party.
Wang Jing was separated from Song Shidao in Xiangyang, but Song Shidao continued to go to Sichuan along the river, Wang Jing took three apprentices to the northeast, Pegasus Ranch is very famous in the Jiangbei area, and you can know the direction when you ask.
Liu Zongdao urged the horse to come closer, and when he saw that everyone was handsome and beautiful, he had a good impression at first sight. Liu Zongdao is an old Jianghu, so he naturally knows that in broad daylight, since there are female dependents, it must not be spies and spies, so he smiled and said, "I don't know why a few people came to my Pegasus Ranch?"
Liu Zongdao is a one-eyed person, this smile gives people a weird feeling, fortunately, Wang Jing has taught Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling for many days, and told the two of them a lot of rules and taboos, but the two did not show anything.
Wang Jing said with a smile: "In Xia Wang Jing, I heard about the reputation of Pegasus Ranch, so I specially brought my wife and three apprentices to visit!"
Liu Zongdao said with a smile: "Wang Gongzi is polite! Liu Zongdao, the second deacon of the Pegasus Ranch, you are personable and handsome, my owner must be very happy to see you, please come with me!"
Liu Zongdao asked his deputy Old Man Xu to give five horses to Wang Jing and his party, but Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and Wei Zhenzhen did not know how to ride horses.
Kou Zhong sneered, "Master, this ...... Ziling and I can't ride horses!"
Liu Zongdao said with a smile: "But it was Liu who owed consideration!" and prepared to come down and accompany Wang Jing and the five of them on foot.
Wang Jing smiled: "It's okay! But I don't bother Brother Liu!"
After laughing, Wang Jing ordered: "It doesn't matter if you can't ride a horse, you two will use light skills to keep up! Zhenzhen, you and Wanmei will ride together!"
Wang Jing immediately jumped up, and Mu Wanqing also jumped on the horse, reaching out to pull Wei Zhenzhen. Kou Zhong had a depressed expression on his face, but Xu Ziling didn't care.
Liu Zongdao said: "Wang Gongzi, the speed of the horses that the disciples follow? These horses of mine are all good horses, and the speed is not slow!"
Wang Jing smiled: "Brother Liu doesn't need to worry too much!"
Liu Zongdao heard Wang Jing say this, so he didn't say more, and as soon as he urged the horse to reins, everyone went to Pegasus Ranch together.
Wang Jing, Mu Wanqing and Liu Zongdao walked side by side, Wang Jing's riding skills were a combination of the strengths of Middle-earth and Mongolia when he was in the world of Yitian, freehand chic, undulating movements and horses were extremely harmonious, at a glance it was a master, Liu Zongdao was amazed.
However, what made Liu Zongdao even more admired was that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were not slow at all, hanging tightly behind the horses, and they did not show any tiredness. Liu Zongdao looked at it, the steps of the two were elegant and agile, and it seemed to contain some rules.
It was Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling who used the "Lingbo Microstep" to hurry, and Kou Zhong muttered as he ran: "When I get to the ranch, I will learn to ride a horse immediately, you all save trouble, just me and Ziling run stupidly with our legs!"
Liu Zongdao smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Kou, if I have such light skills as you, I am willing to run every day!"
Old man Xu and the rest of the knights also said enviously: "Yes! There are a few people who can run over the horse with their legs, and you don't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings!"
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling had no comparison before, and they were not impressed, but after Liu Zongdao and his party said it this time, they really felt that this was the case, and they had more respect and gratitude for Wang Jing in their hearts.
When everyone walked forward, Liu Zongdao smiled and said: "Brother Wang's bearing is the most extraordinary I have ever seen, I don't know who Brother Wang is?"
Wang Jing smiled: "Brother Liu, I want to ask, whether I am from a big family." Don't hide it from Brother Liu, I am not from any of the forces today, Brother Liu can think that I also came out of the hidden world!"
Liu Zongdao replied: "I see! My owner is also the owner, during the Jin Dynasty, the ancestors of my owner have been hiding from the war for several generations. ”
Wang Jing sighed: "It's a pity that it's not too peaceful now!"
Liu Zongdao replied: "Exactly! When the chaos has appeared today, thieves are rampant, and the four great robbers have repeatedly found trouble in the pasture. I wonder if you found any trace of them when Brother Wang came over?"
Wang Jing smiled: "Maybe they were lucky and didn't meet me!"
The old man said with a smile: "Wang Gongzi's apprentices have this kind of light skill, I think Wang Gongzi is even more good, unless the team is strong, otherwise the people of the four major Kou meet Wang Gongzi, they are really unlucky!"
Kou Zhong boasted: "What if it's a large group of people! In my master's eyes, they are all local chickens and dogs!"
Wang Jing smiled and said: "The inferior doesn't know the height of the sky, so Brother Liu laughs!"
Liu Zongdao said with a smile: "Brother Wang is too modest!"
While everyone was talking, they had already crossed the mountain road, and when they came to the mountain ridge with a bird's-eye view of the pasture, they saw that the fields under the mountain were like blankets of different sizes, forming a beautiful pattern, and they couldn't help but feel relaxed. 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 green 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.
At this time, the horses could not walk, so they dismounted and walked. After a short time, we arrived at the exit of the gorge. I saw that 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 full of spikes, it is necessary to pass by the suspension bridge, there is indeed a husband when the pass, and it is difficult for ten thousand people to cross.
After everyone entered the farm ranch, Liu Zongdao and the others were obviously relaxed, and said with a smile: "It's much safer now!"
After Liu Zongdao finished speaking, he remounted on the horse's back, leading the way, and everyone galloped towards Pegasus Castle on the gravel paved road. (To be continued.) )
