Just looking at that grassland, Pegasus Ranch is indeed beautiful, but after Liu Ruoshui saw that Pegasus Fort, the delicacy was very different.

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.

Liu Ruoshui continued to move forward and found that there were sentry towers and bunkers at every danger and key point, and the bunkers in the center of the arch.

There is a city tower at the exit of the gorge, and the pit that is three zhang wide and five zhang deep is dug in front of the building, and the mouth of the gorge is crossed, and the bottom is covered with spikes, and it is necessary to pass by the suspension bridge. There is indeed a husband who is in charge, and it is difficult for ten thousand people to cross.

The city wall is built according to the mountain, built of rocks, and winds along the terrain, and the situation is precipitous. The rock behind the city is exposed, the terrain is grandiose, and it is difficult for birds to cross.

Thirty thousand, fifty thousand, eighty thousand.

Although Liu Ruoshui came to Pegasus Ranch with an attitude of friendship, after entering Pegasus Ranch, he would naturally figure out how to conquer this fortress. As a result, as he got to know this fortress in depth, Liu Ruoshui's evaluation of Pegasus Fort became higher and higher. Originally, according to Liu Ruoshui's estimate, only 30,000 soldiers and horses were needed to conquer Pegasus Ranch, but now it seems that unless he can gather more than 80,000 men and horses, it will be difficult for him to conquer this dangerous fortress.

It's just that although there are a lot of soldiers and horses under Liu Ruoshui's command, they are not even 80,000. In fact, unless he could dominate the entire south, he really couldn't gather so many soldiers and horses to attack Pegasus Ranch.

Unless he can develop weapons such as artillery, he really can't help this Pegasus Mountain City.

In fact, if Liu Ruoshui was willing, he would be able to make firearms such as bronze cannons. It's just that as a martial artist, Liu Ruoshui is actually very disgusted with firearms. Notice. If you want to become a martial artist, you must start from an early age. When the muscles and bones have not yet grown, they start to practice, and they study diligently every day in order to achieve something, and only then can they become second- or third-rate martial artists. If you want to become a first-class martial artist, you must at least have the qualification of one in a hundred, and if you want to become a grandmaster powerhouse, you may have to have the qualification of one in a thousand.

However, even if a martial artist of Liu Ruoshui's level is hit, if he takes a blow from a large-caliber bullet. I'm afraid it will also be the end of death.

Therefore, after the appearance of firearms, the martial arts will decline at an extremely terrifying rate. After all, with firearms, who would spend that kind of effort to practice martial arts?

Although Liu Ruoshui is a little interested in fighting for world domination, in the final analysis, it is for his martial arts.

Striving for world domination is actually a process of honing one's mind. If a person can achieve the supreme emperor, then the world is so big, there is nothing to make him fear.

But if Liu Ruoshui won the world by firearms, rather than relying on his own martial arts. Then his martial arts realm will not improve in the slightest, but will not advance but retreat.

He wouldn't do this kind of thing.

Unconsciously. Liu Ruoshui arrived at Pegasus Castle.

In any case, Xiangyang City and Pegasus Ranch at this time are allies after all. Therefore. After Liu Ruoshui met Shang Zhen, the big housekeeper of Pegasus Ranch, he was introduced by him to Shang Xiuxun, the owner of Pegasus Ranch.

The living place of the owner, Shang Xiuxun, is the Flying Bird Park. Located in the middle of the inner fort, it is composed of more than 30 houses of various types, surrounded by wind and fire walls, and is a brick and wood structure building group.

When Du pushed the door and entered the main house of the Bird Park, the highest part of the castle where the owner was located, he saw a beautiful woman like jade.

An extraordinarily beautiful woman in a strong suit, with beautiful black hair pouring down her knife-like shoulders like two small waterfalls, sat in the center and introduced the two to an equally beautiful woman beside her.

The elegant outfit accentuates her outstanding face and tanned and shimmering skin, exuding a scorching youth and enviable sense of health.

Her beautiful eyes are deep and unfathomable, and her thick eyelashes add to her mystique like a phoenix that ripples with the most fragrant and mellow fairy wine.

Even Liu Ruoshui, who was accustomed to seeing beautiful women, couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Shang Xiuxun, and then suddenly came back to his strength.

"The owner of the mall, Pegasus Ranch and I live next to each other in Xiangyang, and we have always been allies. I should have come to meet the owner earlier. It's just that I've been busy with the affairs of the four big guys recently, and I only found time today, and I ask the mall owner not to be surprised. Liu Ruoshui arched his hand and said.

"Where, where. The four Kou are the mortal enemies of my Pegasus Ranch, and after the manager eliminated them, Xiuxun slept much more peacefully. Shang Xiuxun said with a smile.

Then, Shang Xiuxun introduced the people behind him to Liu Ruoshui.

Shang Xiuxun nodded, then smiled slightly, and introduced the people behind him.

The first introduction is a burly bald man in his fifties, with a straight nose, the curved curve of the upper lip and the slightly upturned lower lip are quite charming, showing that he has a strong personality and self-confidence, and is the great butler Shang Zhen.

The second introduction is the archdeacon Liang Zhi, who is forty years old, although he is five short in stature, but he has a black beard, his eyes are flashing, his temples are bulging, and he knows that he is a good hand at both internal and external cultivation just by looking at his appearance.

Then came the third deacon, Tao Shusheng, a tall middle-aged strong man, with a pair of goat-like eyes, which made his appearance unpleasant.

Then there was the fourth deacon Wu Zhaoru, who was young and handsome, but his complexion was as fair as a woman, and his eyes were cold and flashing, and he looked a little feminine.

Finally, there are a few deacons. There are also a few followers, but they don't need to be introduced. The second deacon, Liu Zongdao, went to Saibei for more than three months to buy high-quality breeds of good horses and came back for breeding, but he has not yet returned, and his deputy deacon went with him, but he was also absent.

Although Shang Xiuxun is a woman, just looking at her behavior, you know that she is not a person to be bullied, at least she is also a qualified king.

Although Liu Ruoshui did not underestimate Shang Xiuxun, after seeing her in person, he couldn't help but pay more attention to three points.

After the two exchanged a few words, Liu Ruoshui made it clear and said, "Shopping mall owner, now Jianghuai Du Fuwei is eyeing the tiger, and I am in urgent need of soldiers and horses to prepare for war in Xiangyang, so I want to buy a batch of war horses from the owner, can I?"

The merchant's war horse raising technology and the sword forging technology of the Dongming faction have reached the pinnacle of this world. The good horses and horses selected from outside the Saiwai, coupled with the high-quality pastures here, and the unique breeding technology of the merchants, the good horses produced are the best in the Middle Earth, and all forces are coveted, so Liu Ruoshui's request did not surprise Shang Xiuxun.

Shang Xiuxun just nodded, and then asked, "I wonder how many horses you need?"

Liu Ruoshui stretched out three fingers and said, "Three thousand." ”

Originally, Liu Ruoshui thought that this was not a difficult thing, although he did have a little ill heart towards Pegasus Ranch, but his mind did not leak out after all, at this time, Xiangyang City and Pegasus Ranch were still allies, Liu Ruoshui did not plan to ask for empty words, but to spend real money, Shang Xiuxun always had no reason to refuse.

But he didn't want to, before Shang Xiuxun could speak, Tao Shusheng, the third deacon behind him, suddenly said, "The chief manager wants to buy so many military horses, but what is the so-called matter?"

Liu Ruoshui raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said, "Naturally, it is to guard against Jianghuai Du Fuwei." ”

At this time, the fourth deacon Wu Zhaoru spoke again and said, "Haha, who in the world doesn't know, the lord of Liu City first defeated Zhu Ji, the king of Jialuo, and then exterminated the four great deacons, and there is no other in the limelight at this time. To deal with just one Du Fuwei, why do you need to be so mobilized?"

Hearing this, Liu Ruoshui couldn't help frowning.

If what Tao Shusheng said was a little subtle, what Wu Zhaoru said was extremely explicit, he was praising Liu Ruoshui on his face, but the meaning outside of his words was that Liu Ruoshui wanted to be unfavorable to Pegasus Ranch?

Although Liu Ruoshui did have a little thought, he would not offend Pegasus Ranch unless he was completely sure, so the words of the two of them were really a bit heartfelt.

Liu Ruoshui frowned and said, "Two deacons, why bother asking more? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that at this time, Sui lost his deer, and the world chased him." The situation is like this, whether you want to dominate the world, or just want to defend one side, there must always be a strong army, I want to buy a batch of war horses, what's so strange!"

Wu Zhaoru said: "In that case, I don't know what the general manager thinks about the general trend of the world today?"

Liu Ruoshui swept the head of the main seat of Shang Xiuxun, turned back to look at Tao Shusheng and Wu Zhaoru, and said, "I am only here to buy horses from your ranch, not to discuss the world with the two. I have heard people say that Pegasus Ranch has always been neutral for more than 100 years since its establishment, only talking about business, but I don't know that the two deacons care so much about the general trend of the world. ”

Uncle Tao said with a smile: "Although my Pegasus Ranch has always been neutral, I must be in this world, and I naturally have to care about the general trend of the world." If we don't pay attention to it and don't know about the world, it will be detrimental to the development of our ranch. ”

"Not bad. Wu Zhaoru followed closely behind to help the field.

Having said this, although Liu Ruoshui was not stupid, he was already very angry in his heart, he just said coldly, "After all, Sui lost his deer, and the world chased it, what is there to say." ”

Having said this, Liu Ruoshui no longer gave the two of them a chance to talk again, but turned his head to Shang Xiuxun and said, "Shopping mall owner, I don't know if you will take my business? ”

Having said this, Liu Ruoshui remembered that the third deacon Uncle Tao and the fourth deacon Wu Zhaoru seemed to be spies in Wagangzhai and had been serving Li Mi, so it was not surprising that the two of them were behaving now.

Shang Xiuxun said with a smile: "The manager is right, our ranch has always been in business, and the manager can afford to pay for it, so why don't we sell it, naturally we will take it." However, war horses are no better than other goods, so we can talk about them tomorrow. Today, let Xiuxun entertain the manager well, and the manager of your journey must be tiring from the journey, and you need to have a good rest for a day. ”

Liu Ruoshui nodded and said, "It's good that the owner is willing to take it, and it's not too late for us to talk about the rest in detail." ”

At this moment, a maidservant girl walked out of the back door of the hall and saluted Shang Xiuxun: "Return to the owner, the banquet has been prepared, do you want to start the banquet now?"

Shang Xiuxun nodded and said, "Well, open it now." ”

The maidservants took the order, and in a few moments, a group of male servants came in, removed the tables and chairs from the hall, and placed a table and a fine soft cushion in front of each of them. It seems that it is a split table system, one table per person...... (To be continued.) )
