Chapter 103 Beauty Player

To the southwest of Jingling County, the two tributaries of the Yangtze River, Zhang River and Ju River, draw a large triangular Woyuan from the boundary. The two rivers flow through, irrigating the fertile fields on both sides, and finally recirculating into the river.

The climate here is mild, the soil is fertile, the products are abundant, and the grass is even more abundant. It is surrounded by mountains and is surrounded by fertile land of more than ten miles. There are only two gorges from east to west for entry and exit. The situation is dangerous and a natural screen is formed.

At the end of the Jin Dynasty, Liu Yu replaced Jin and changed the country's name to Song. Since then, the world has been divided. In order to avoid the war, the military general Shang Xiong led his subordinates and his tribe to go south. By chance, he found this hidden Guyuan, so he lived and worked in peace and established a ranch.

In the 160 years from the construction of the ranch to the unification of the Sui Dynasty, the Pegasus Ranch experienced seven owners, all of whom were inherited by the Shang clan and had supreme authority.

The others are Liang, Liu, Tao, Wu, Xu, Luo and other ethnic groups. After more than a hundred years of reproduction, they have been moving out of the surrounding areas and formed nearby towns. They reach the two big cities of Yuan'an and Dangyang in Jushui. More than half of their residents are from Pegasus Ranch.

Pegasus Ranch is also the economic lifeline of this region. It produces high-quality horses and is well-known all over the world. However, because the owners follow the ancestral teachings, they will never participate in the affairs between the martial arts world and the court, have a low-key style and always use business to speak business, so they have no reputation in the martial arts world.

Xuan Tianji put aside these thoughts, looked at the people in the fortress, and said leisurely: "A guest comes far away and doesn't come out to greet him, but he is on guard. Is this the way to entertain guests in Pegasus Ranch?"

One of them bowed and said, "Liu Zongdao, the second deacon in the Pegasus Ranch, I wonder who are? What's the important thing to go to my Pegasus Ranch?"

Xuan Tianji looked at him and said that the man who made a sound was a middle-aged strong man with a simplicity in his face, but he had one eye missing, and his one-eye was still shining and magical.

"I, Xuan Tianji, come to the ranch to buy a horse!" Xuan Tianji said.

"So it's a guest!" The few people immediately breathed a sigh of relief and put down their bows and arrows.

Liu Zongdao led a few people out of the fortress, rode his horse to Xuantian's body, bowed and smiled, "Young Master, please come in and speak!"

Xuan Tianji smiled and said, "It's all my wish!"

Accompanied by Liu Zongdao, Xuan Tianji and his group walked inside, and different types of poultry and livestock along the way, with cattle and sheep separated by wooden pens, and the herd shouted and drove away cattle and sheep. Some farmers also worked silently in the fields, and the plowing ox sounded low from time to time. Everything was orderly, like a paradise.

Wei Zhenzhen said, "Young Master, there is such a place in the world, which is really enviable!"

"This place has beautiful scenery and simple folk customs. It is indeed a good place!" Xuan Tianji also praised slightly.

"If the young master no longer helps the evildoer, Feixuan is willing to live in seclusion here with the young master, free and free, and be harmonious with the zither!" Shi Feixuan's ethereal voice suddenly rang in Xuan Tianji's ears.

Hearing this, Xuan Tianji had not yet spoken, but Bai Qing'er laughed out loud. "Sister Feixuan is so beautiful that she wants to be Qing'er's mistress so soon. Sister, I will teach you the rules first!"

Shi Feixuan ignored Bai Qing'er's teasing and said seriously: "Although Feixuan lost his martial arts skills, the master did not know that the master would definitely invite the four great monks, or even Ning Zhenren, to deal with the young master. Although the young master is powerful, he is afraid that he will not get any benefits under the siege of several masters. As long as the young master gives up assisting the foolish emperor, Feixuan is willing to report to the master. He will never regret following the young master in this life!"

"It's rare for my sister to be admitted to her identity so quickly!" Bai Qing'er snorted and continued to say. "I have something to report to the young master. Ren Shaoming, who had been killed by the young master a few days ago, was the only son of Feiying Quao, the master of Tiel Martial Arts. At this moment, Quao was afraid that he had already gone south to find the young master. Also, Yanni Changzhen and the evil monk Fanan were people in the Qing'er sect. The young master killed them without saying a word. Qing'er's master was afraid that he would come and ask clearly!"

"Oh?" Xuan Tianji was fun. "Qing'er is intent! But you can rest assured that they are not worth worrying. Even if they join forces, what can they do? A group of native chickens and dogs! If you really dare to come, a battle can make the world settle down! The fewer the restless factors in this world, the better!" Xuan Tianji said coldly, and said quietly.

Liu Zongdao was frightened. Before, he heard the word "Xuan Tianji", but he felt a little familiar, but he didn't think much about it. But now, he still didn't understand that this Taoist is the current national master of the Sui Dynasty, Xuan Tianji, who killed Ren Shaoming a few days ago. He smiled bitterly in his heart, and he didn't know what the national master is doing here. If he really wanted to be unfavorable to the Pegasus Ranch, the Pegasus Ranch would have no power to fight back.

As if seeing through Liu Zongdao's thoughts, Xuan Tianji said leisurely: "Deacon Liu leads the way, I have no malice!"

Xuan Tianji's words seemed to have a charm. Liu Zongdao immediately calmed down. He said respectfully: "Abide by the orders of the young master!"

Everyone continued to walk inward and arrived in front of the inner city. They saw the city walls built according to the mountains, built with a strait, winding along the terrain, and the situation was steep. The rocks behind the city were exposed, the caves were rugged, and birds were hard to cross. There was a river outside the city, and the suspension bridge was needed to be lowered and crossed the river.

After entering the city, there is a spacious ramp that extends upward, reaching the inner castle where the highest owner lives. The houses on both sides are continuous, and they are connected to the ramp by branches, which is a feature of a mountain city.

Looking around, Xuan Tianji saw that all the buildings around him were rough and simple, built with stones, and were magnificent in shape. Along the way, the bell pavilions, archways, and gates were numerous, and the simplicity and unpretentiousness showed the heroic spirit of the city builder. The inner castle is even more grand in scale, with five main buildings and side halls and corridors. The large and small houses are arranged in an orderly manner, with gardens, flowers and trees, small bridges and waterfalls, which are elegant and charming.

The owner Shang Xiuxun's living place is Feiniao Garden, located in the middle of the inner castle. It consists of more than 30 houses of various types, surrounded by wind and fire walls, and is a brick and wood structure building group.

Along the way, the manor is located on a high place, and you can see the endless pasture scenery under Pegasus City from time to time.

The five people passed through the door and transferred the house one after another. They either passed through the courtyard or the veranda. Finally, Liu Zongdao led them to a flower hall. He said, "Please wait for a moment, and my owner will arrive soon."

Xuan Tianji nodded and signaled the few people to sit down. He was not impatient, and picked up the fragrant tea on the table and savored it carefully.
