When Annie was instructing Shi Qingxuan in martial arts (magic) in the ruined temple of "Qiyunguan", she was preparing to let him use Xiao Sheng to kill the "reverse" You Niaojuan, "The Great Emperor" Ding Jiuzhong, Zhou Laotan and "Mei"
When "Ms. Jin Huanzhen", the four evil emperors who committed evil deeds, were disciples of Yutian, after more than a month, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, who had arrived in Chang'an with Huanwan and quietly took out Yang Gong's treasure and were returning, finally arrived there.
Near Pegasus Ranch.
But at this time, Huanwan was not with the two of them.
Because, when they took out the 'Evil Emperor's Relic' from the cave of Yang Gong's treasure, the three of them were curious for a moment. When they were playing and studying the round crystal ball named 'Evil Emperor's Relic', they accidentally accidentally
After touching the evil emperor's essence that was coveted by people in the Demon Sect within the 'Evil Emperor's Relic', it surged towards the bodies of the three of them like a flood bursting through the embankment, and almost killed them.
The three people were not allowed to die because the Yuanjing body went crazy!
Fortunately, under the influence of the internal forces of the "Secret of Immortality" and "Heavenly Demon Dafa", Gao Zhong, Xu Ziling and Huanhou miraculously directly transferred the huge evil emperor's essence.
The impurities in the body were separated and expelled, and then they invariably absorbed the refined pure essence in the 'Evil Emperor's Relic', making the three of them instantly reborn, with a huge increase in both their skills and physical fitness.
!
Afterwards, the three people who survived the disaster were happy and hurriedly used the storage bag to pack up the weapons, armors and massive gold and silver jewelry in Yang Gong's treasure. In order to avoid long nights and dreams or being discovered by interested people, they spent the whole night again.
He disguised himself and fled that place quickly.
On the way, Huanwan took away the 'Evil Emperor's Relic' from which all the essence had been absorbed, and separated from Shuanglong, preparing to go back to Yinkui Sect alone to report to her mentor Zhu Yuyan and plead guilty.
After all, the three of them secretly went to Chang'an to steal the treasure, but even Zhu Yuyan had concealed it. However, the 'Evil Emperor's Relic' that was originally promised to be handed over to Zhu Yuyan from Huanwen was swallowed up by the three of them and all the Evil Emperor's essence was stolen.
, Huanwan would definitely have to go back and explain something like that.
As for Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, they headed south along the land route to secretly return to Yuhang. They planned to make full use of the large amount of military supplies obtained from Yang Gong's treasure to expand the Shuanglong Army, and then cooperate with the Song clan to attack Lin Shihong, Xiao Xian and other forces.
Attack in order to determine the situation in Jiangnan as soon as possible and then sweep the entire world!
But...
When passing by Jingling and near the Pegasus Ranch, Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling accidentally heard rumors in the world that the Pegasus Ranch was facing a major crisis, and that a group of extremely powerful strongmen were trying to embezzle and capture the Pegasus Ranch.
pasture?
And that group of strongmen was none other than who they were. They were the thieves who had been robbing houses in the southeast area, stealing escorts and goods, killing countless people and doing all kinds of evil!
They are: "No grass grows" Xiang Batian, "No chickens or dogs left" Fang Jianding, "Thousands of miles of scorched earth" Mao Zao, "Crying ghosts and howling gods" Cao Yinglong!
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling had occasionally heard of those four people before when they were attacking and operating the Shuanglong Army in Yuhang and Jiujiang, but after all, those people were just small thieves working on their own, and they were scattered all over the place. They had never been regarded as
One thing passes.
But I never thought...
During the three or four months when they left Jiangnan and went to Luoyang to fight for He's Bi, then went to Chang'an to retrieve Yang Gong's treasure and returned, three of the four people were gradually attracted by the "Ghost Cry"
"God's Howl" Cao Yinglong took care of it, and soon gathered more than tens of thousands of thieves. He also planned to attack Pegasus Ranch and make a business without capital. He planned to burn, kill and plunder Pegasus Ranch's wealth, and also plunder the ranch.
Those countless fine military horses inside?
After hearing the news, I thought that I had a relationship with the owner of Pegasus Ranch, Shang Xiuxun, when I was defending Jingling. I even owed him a huge favor. In addition, the 'Double Dragon Army' had also been with Pegasus Ranch before.
They had contacts in the military horse trade, and they had also traded and purchased some military horses with each other. Therefore, the two people were not prepared to sit back and watch the misfortune of Pegasus Ranch and the owner of the beauty farm, so they resolutely headed towards Pegasus Ranch.
They planned to help Shang Xiuxun deal with the threat of the four bandits first, and then find a boat from near Jingling to go south along the river and return to Yuhang!
Of course, the most important thing is: Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling know that their master is said to have a good relationship with the beauty shop owner Shang Xiuxun, so whether they want to see if they can meet their
They can't just sit idly by and watch the miserable little girl master, just to repay the favor and protect the only channel for trading military horses.
then!
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling traveled day and night, and soon they arrived many days ahead of the four big bandits. They arrived at a place that is famous for its livestock breeding, breeding, and training of fine horses. It occupies a very large area and is well-equipped. It is also in a huge area.
In the valley, it is like a self-sufficient paradise, or the Pegasus Ranch in a country within a country, and it has also been personally received by the beautiful ranch owner Shang Xiuxun.
After all, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling are now considered celebrities. Putting aside everything else, just what they and their master did in Luoyang City is enough for most people in the world and the martial arts to treat them differently.
.
"so big!"
"Can not believe it!"
"Such a large plain, this is Pegasus Ranch?"
"My dear..."
"How many horses are there here?"
"How great would it be if they all belonged to our Double Dragon Army?"
"If that's really the case, I believe that by then, I will be able to build a cavalry team that is comparable to or stronger than Li Shimin's 'Black Armor Elite Cavalry', right?"
After the guests and hosts entered the ranch, they first came to a hillside and began to overlook the huge ranch. Then, they saw the orderly and prosperous pasture. The descendants of the late Jin Dynasty generals and the hard work of several generations, more than 160 people,
Kou Zhong, who had been operating the world-famous Pegasus Ranch for a few years, unexpectedly said something that was the truest thought in his heart without noticing.
"Cough! Cough!"
"Young Master Zhong..."
After seeing the leaders of the Pegasus Ranch accompanying him, and even the owner of the beauty farm, all looking strangely at Kou Zhong who was feeling something, Xu Ziling on the side quickly coughed and warned in a subtle way.
One sentence.
"What are you afraid of?"
"It's not like we won't pay!"
However, Kou Zhong didn't take it seriously. He waved his hand and looked at the beauty owner Shang Xiuxun and asked openly:
"Sister, the owner of the venue!"
"Say it!"
“How do you sell the horses from your ranch?”
"I've taken care of the entire Ssangyong Army, so just make a price!"
Kou Zhong, who had just taken Yang Gong's treasure and was now rich and wealthy, waved his hand and immediately made his purchase request, clamoring to take over the entire Pegasus Ranch.
"oh?"
"All inclusive?"
Shang Xiuxun first looked at Kou Zhong up and down, and then looked at the different faces or disdainful expressions of the leaders of the surrounding ranches. She thought about it noncommittally for a while, and then spoke up and said something politely for a while.
He turned around and asked with interest:
"Kou Zhong..."
"Do you know how many war horses we have on the ranch, how many they have and how much they are worth?"
"I'm afraid you Ssangyong Army can't afford it, right?"
Shang Xiuxun is not kidding!
Not to mention anything else, the number of trained war horses in their ranch alone that can currently be taken out and traded is at least tens of thousands!
If you want to buy so many war horses at one time, even the wealthy Song Clan or the Li Clan with a profound foundation may not be able to afford it, let alone a country that has just emerged less than two years ago and has a weak foundation.
The Ssangyong Army.
"Ha ha!"
"Don't worry about it!"
“Make an offer!
"
Kou Zhong laughed twice, and then he didn't pay attention to Xu Ziling's eyes at all. Kou Zhong just continued and urged generously.
"..."
Of course Shang Xiuxun didn't make an offer, she just stared at the heroic Kou Zhong with a half-smile but not a smile. In the end, she didn't know what she was thinking, but she suddenly burst out laughing and shook her head regretfully.
He refused and said:
“Don’t be in a hurry when buying a war horse!”
"Even if you, the Ssangyong Army, can afford it, it is impossible to sell all those war horses just to you."
The reason why Pegasus Ranch can maintain its transcendent status in these troubled times, in addition to its easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain and strong strength, is of course due to its friendly relations with all forces.
Their ranch has been training and supplying war horses to various forces. Their position in the Central Plains is irreplaceable. If they only supply the Shuanglong Army and their family, they may not wait for the four major bandits to attack. Jianghuai Army's
Du Fuwei, Fu Gongyou, Xiao Xian, Li Jie and other forces will destroy them first!
"but……"
"If you two really help our Pegasus Ranch drive away the four big bandits this time, in the future, it will be simple for us to slightly increase the proportion and quota of war horses sold to your Ssangyong Army?"
"how?"
Therefore, even if Kou Zhong really has the ability and financial resources to buy all the horses that their Pegasus Ranch can currently provide, she does not dare to make the decision!
At least she can't under the current situation, but in the future, if the Ssangyong Army can unify the south of the Yangtze River and march into the Central Plains, annexing the entire Jingling area where Pegasus Ranch is located, that will be a different matter.
"Ha ha!"
"The beauty owner is really happy, Kou Zhong loves you so much!"
"That……"
"That's how we settled?"
Hearing this, Kou Zhong, who hesitated for a moment, immediately responded loudly and loudly.
Originally, Kou Zhong did not expect to be able to monopolize the horse supply of Pegasus Ranch, especially since the territory currently occupied by their Shuanglong Army is at least a thousand miles away from Jingling and Pegasus Ranch. Therefore, he can slightly
By increasing some proportional quotas, he would be satisfied.
After all, he and Xu Ziling passed by here and came to help with no intention of asking for anything in return. But now, no matter what the other party gives, it is an unexpected surprise, and of course he will not dislike it.
"!
"
"Glib tongue!"
After the greetings, Shang Xiuxun, the owner of the beauty shop, turned to the two of them and asked:
"alright!"
"Where is your little master?"
"When will she come?"
"I haven't seen her for a while, so I miss her so much!"
Yes, the reason why Shang Xiuxun heard that they were coming and immediately went out to greet them was because of their great master, Master Anne!
After all, the opponent just relied on one person's power to defeat Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Temple and gain the absolute upper hand, and also made thousands of the world's martial arts heroes who wanted to compete for the 'He's Bi' leave in disgrace. That kind of thing
A master of this level, even if there is no personal relationship between the two parties, is enough for Shang Xiuxun, the owner of the venue, to come to receive him in person. There is no doubt about it.
"..."
"..."
However, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were not in a hurry to answer. At this time, Kou Zhong, who was from Shang Xiuxun, knew that their little master Anne was not here, so they just looked at each other secretly and exchanged words tacitly.
A look.
"That's actually true!"
"Master, she said that the four big bandits are just a bunch of chickens and dogs and there is nothing to fear. She is too lazy to take action, so she asked our brothers to come over and help."
"Do not worry!"
"Sister Beauty, the owner of the field, our two brothers have made rapid progress in martial arts recently, and we will definitely be more than enough to deal with the four big bandits!"
Kou Zhong, who lied and never drafted, opened his mouth and continued to talk nonchalantly, not even mentioning the fact that they actually didn't know where their little master Anne had gone and that they came here to ask about the situation.
"you?"
"Can you two do it?"
However, when he heard that Annie didn't come, Shang Xiuxun couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and once again cast suspicious glances at Kou Zhong and Xu Zi, two young boys who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old.
In her opinion, even though the two of them had conquered a large territory from Yuhang to Jiujiang at a young age, and the Ssangyong Army was said to have 200,000 soldiers, no matter when they were mentioned, outsiders would
What's more, they think of their great master immediately, and think that the two of them achieved such achievements because of the support of their master, Annie?
Apart from anything else, in Shang Xiuxun's opinion, if Annie hadn't almost wiped out the Haisha Gang and established such a powerful force when they were in Yuhang, the two later people would never have been able to control Yuhang and the Gang so easily.
Incorporate many gangs including the Haisha Gang!
"you!"
"Why can't we do it?"
Seeing that Shang Xiuxun actually questioned the abilities of his two brothers, Kou Zhong became anxious and quickly defended and refuted:
"Last time in Jingling, our two brothers defeated Du Fuwei!"
"Now that we have become stronger, we can easily defeat the four major bandits, right?"
"Master Beauty, please don't underestimate us brothers!
"
Of course, he did not dare to say that the two brothers and the three of them, after being tempered by the spirit of the 'He's Bi' and the baptism of the essence in the 'Evil Emperor's Relic', had been reborn and their skills had increased dramatically, and they were now among the top
Regarding the matter of being a top martial arts master, I only dare to use the incident of defending and defeating Du Fuwei in Jingling some time ago as an argument.
"Correct some points!"
"first!"
"You failed to defend Jingling, and it ended up falling into the hands of the Jianghuai Army."
"Secondly!"
"The tens of thousands of people in Jingling were rescued and resettled by our Pegasus Ranch, but you have done nothing!"
"at last……"
"You fled Jingling in a state of disgrace with the remaining defeated generals. Du Fuwei didn't really lose to you. Maybe..."
"He just doesn't want to chase you two poor gangsters, or maybe he doesn't dare to offend your little master?"
"But this time it's different!"
"Those four bandits are a group of extremely vicious villains. They live in no fixed abode and go around doing evil. They also burn, kill, loot and commit all kinds of evil. They are not like Du Fuwei or other heroes who fear the master behind you!"
"Don't you think you'd lose your lives here at our ranch, and then we, the ranch, and I, as the rancher, are going to take advantage of your master?"
Unfortunately, maybe it was because Kou Zhong was too talkative, maybe because he thought he had a good relationship with Anne, and because he was three to five years older than the two of them?
Anyway!
In this way, Shang Xiuxun, who felt that he could surpass the two of them in terms of seniority, did not give Kou Zhongding any face at all, and proudly stretched out three pretty fingers, scolded them one by one, and directly exposed his shortcomings in public
The general ridiculed the two of them, making Kou Zhong's face instantly turn red with anger.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
"A good man doesn't fight with women, and I won't argue with you either!"
Although most of what the other party said was true, the competitive Kou Zhong was still very angry.
Then, with anger rising in his heart, he laughed angrily and suddenly gritted his teeth and looked at Shang Xiuxun, and asked with piercing eyes:
"That's it!"
"Sister, the owner of the beauty shop, let's make a bet!"
"do you dare?"
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and then he felt that it was very necessary to make the other party suffer a big loss, so he gritted his teeth and asked loudly as if he was angry.
"Bet?"
Shang Xiuxun was startled at first. She didn't expect that Kou Zhong suddenly mentioned this, so she didn't think much about it and asked subconsciously:
"OK!"
"What's your bet?"
Obviously, she didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the matter.
“It’s easy!”
"This time..."
"If my two brothers kill those four bandits and help Pegasus Ranch defend this place, you, the mall owner, will marry me, Kou Zhong, and become my mother-in-law!"
"how?"
The stern-faced Kou Zhong was ready to go all out. He didn't care about what the people around him thought, and suddenly put away his playful and smiling expression and showed off his emotions in a serious manner.
"??"
"!
"
"!?"
"Bold!
"
"this……"
"absurd!
"
"Owner! No!"
"Young Master Zhong?"
"What are you..."
The people around him, including Shang Xiuxun himself, the big and small leaders of the ranch, and Xu Ziling who was with Kou Zhong, were all frightened by the horrifying remarks, so they all turned pale with fright and expressed their anger as if they had seen a ghost.
His eyes looked towards Kou Zhong.
After all, they all know that Kou Zhong, the coach of the Shuanglong Army, is already married and entangled with Song Yuzhi of the Song Dynasty and the enchantress Houhou of the Yinkui sect. Now it's good that he is planning to fight him off again.
What was the horse ranch owner’s idea?
"..."
Shang Xiuxun's entire face, including his neck, was red. He didn't know whether he was angry, embarrassed, or both.
Anyway, she remained like that for a long time without saying a word, and regardless of the behavior of the people around her, she just pursed her lips and gritted her teeth and looked at the stubborn Kou Zhong.
"OK!"
"but……"
"What will you do if you can't do it?"
For a long time, just when everyone thought that Shang Xiuxun would definitely become angry and drive him away, she unexpectedly laughed angrily and turned to Kou Zhong and asked, wanting to know what Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling didn't do.
So what if.
"Young Master Zhong!"
"are you serious?"
Seeing that Kou Zhong was about to get angry and talk about a certain bet in case of losing, the mature and steady Xu Ziling hurried forward, grabbed Kou Zhong and asked in a low voice.
"certainly!"
"Think about it, if we take over this beautiful farm owner, our Ssangyong Army won't need to pay for war horses in the future!"
"That's a business without capital!"
