Chapter 22 Pegasus Ranch
The Pegasus Ranch is near Jingling. Lu Yuan followed his original memory and led Gao Zhong, Xu Ziling and Wei Zhenzhen to this world-famous ranch that had been established for hundreds of years.
It was summer at this time, and the grass was lush and spreading endlessly. The area suddenly opened up, and a vast expanse of grassland appeared in the field of vision. The blue sky and white clouds, the lake like a mirror, and the cows and sheep were visible in the wind-blown grass. The natural and primitive scenery was as it had been for a hundred years.
constant.
Pegasus Ranch, don't be fooled by the name, thinking that this is just a horse breeding ground. It is a force, and it is not a weak force, but you can know it by looking at the city gate standing not far away.
In the distance of the pasture, four black spots appeared from the junction of sky and earth. Within a quarter of an hour, the soldiers of Pegasus Ranch saw the four horses approaching.
These four riders are naturally Lu Yuan, Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and Wei Zhenzhen.
In order to go to the Pegasus Ranch, the four of them bought horses in a nearby town and changed their clothes again, pretending to be horse buyers from afar.
Not long after, Lu Yuan and the others approached the city gate of Pegasus Ranch.
How can this Pegasus Ranch be as simple as an ordinary ranch?
The natural excellent terrain and the design of experts make this place a fortress that is easy to defend but difficult to attack!
Pegasus Ranch is surrounded by mountains on all sides, enclosing more than ten square miles of fertile wilderness. There are only two east and west gorges for entry and exit. The dangerous situation forms a natural shield for the ranch.
On the higher ground in the northwest corner, there is a magnificent castle built, leaning against a cliff as steep as a wall and facing a winding river in front of it, making it even more spectacular.
There is a tower at the exit of the gorge. In front of the building, a tunnel three feet wide and five feet deep is dug, crossing the mouth of the gorge. The bottom is covered with spikes, and a suspension bridge is required to pass. If one man is at the gate, it will be difficult for ten thousand men to cross.
Not to mention that there are armored soldiers patrolling the towers, holding bows and knives, drawing arrows and raising strings, ready to attack the invading enemy at any time.
This is clearly a fortress city. After more than a hundred years of business operation, it has already become a world of its own. There are tens of thousands of people living in it, and there must be many capable soldiers.
Lu Yuan didn't understand. How could the emperors and emperors in the past hundred years allow such a treasure land to be in the hands of others? Are they all brainless? Blind?
If there was no "friend" transaction behind this, Lu Yuan would find it incredible.
When approaching the suspension bridge, you have to dismount and walk. There are guards at the ranch in front of you for inspection. Many people are queuing up for inspection, and Lu Yuan and four others are at the end of the queue.
"What are you here for?" When it was Lu Yuan's and the other four's turn, a ranch guard who was interrogating asked.
Lu Yuan handed over a post and said: "I'm Yuan Wen, my family is doing business, and I want to buy some horses for business use. They are my three disciples, following me here to see the world!"
This is an identity card, which Lu Yuan specially prepared before arriving.
The guard took the post, opened it and looked at it a few times, without looking at it carefully, then returned the post to Lu Yuan, took a small yellow flag and handed it to Lu Yuan, saying: "Guests, please come in! Take this
When the flag enters the customs, someone will greet you."
Lu Yuan noticed that there was a small gate under the city gate. This gate was specially designed to allow only one person and one horse to pass through. Many people were entering the city from there.
The guard made a "please" gesture, but neither the city gate was opened nor the owner of the beauty field came to greet him personally, there was only this small door.
Lu Yuan didn't feel that he was being looked down upon and felt insulted. He smiled and led Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and Wei Zhenzhen through the small door and entered the Pegasus Ranch.
Unless their original identities are revealed, why should Pegasus Ranch take a high look at these little-known gangsters?
If you want the owner of the venue to come and greet you in person, you are just thinking about it!
After entering the ranch, there were special people to receive Lu Yuan and the others. The person in charge of receiving Lu Yuan and the others was a tall and thin man in his thirties.
Someone came over to take away the horses of the four people. The man smiled and said: "Guests, don't worry, we will send people to take good care of the horses of the guests. Please come here. What kind of horses do you want to buy? What are you doing?
Purpose? How many horses do you want to buy?”
Lu Yuandao said, "I'm doing business at home and want to buy some horses to unload goods. What do you recommend, Brother Luo?"
The man said: "It depends on how much cargo Brother Yuan wants to pull and how far he has to travel. Some horses are good at running short distances, but their endurance for carrying loads is average and they are not good at walking in the mountains. Some horses have excellent endurance for carrying loads and can
Traveling through mountains and ridges, the speed is naturally slow. My Pegasus Ranch has several good and bad horses for Brother Yuan to choose from. If Brother Yuan wants to transport goods quickly over a short distance, I recommend buying one..."
After hearing the words, Lu Yuan nodded secretly and said to himself: "This Pegasus Ranch is worthy of being a century-old brand. It does not bully customers because of its large store. The horse sales service provided is also very considerate and professional. It is better than some horse sellers in later generations."
The S store is still strong, no wonder it has been able to stand for so many years."
That night, Lu Yuan and the others stayed at an inn in Pegasus Ranch.
For those who come here to buy horses, regardless of whether the transaction is successful or not, all food and accommodation during the period at the ranch will be borne by Pegasus Ranch.
After hearing this rule, Lu Yuan deeply felt that the people who set up the rules for establishing Pegasus Ranch were not simple. Due to the limitations of the times, the vision and knowledge of the ancients were not as good as those of later generations, but it did not mean that they were not as wise as they were.
Late at night, Lu Yuan quietly left the inn. He did not go to Lu Miaozi immediately. Instead, he first observed the guards patrolling the ranch and studied the topography and architectural layout of the ranch.
There are a lot of patrols at Pegasus Ranch at night, and it would be bad if you were caught.
During the day, when the man surnamed Luo received them, he explained some of the rules of Pegasus Ranch and warned them not to trespass in Pegasus Ranch. If they were caught, they would be expelled from Pegasus Ranch at the least, or be killed at worst.
Woe. The man surnamed Luo even took them to see some people who had been beheaded for trespassing.
But who knows who arranged the garrison at Pegasus Ranch? It’s different every day.
Lu Yuan had been observing for several days, but he still couldn't find a pattern. He didn't have time to waste it here anymore. After thinking about it, he decided to break in!
"Tonight, I will go to see someone. If I haven't come back by Mao hour, you have to find a way to get out of here. Pay attention to safety, there may be danger tonight!"
Kou Zhong said: "Since there is danger, maybe Master will take us with him? We can also help Master!"
Xu Ziling also said: "Yes, Master, we are in danger if we stay in the inn anyway, so we might as well act together with Master."
Although Wei Zhenzhen did not speak, she looked at the three of them with an attitude of "Master, wherever Xiaozhong and Xiaoling go, I will go too."
Lu Yuan smiled and said: "I know your thoughts, but your martial arts skills are not as good as my master. And for this kind of thing, it is better for one person to act than four people. The target is small and difficult to detect."
After saying this, Lu Yuan turned to look at Kou Zhong and said: "Xiao Zhong, although Zhenzhen is older than you, you are a man and as a senior brother, you should take good care of Xiaoling and Zhenzhen.
If you encounter trouble, you should try your best to take them out!"
Seeing that Lu Yuan was so concerned about the safety of the three of them, Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and Wei Zhenzhen felt warm and moved in their hearts.
Kou Zhong said seriously: "Master, I promise you that as long as I have a breath, I will let Sister Zhen and Xiaoling leave here safely. Master, please take care of me, I still need your teachings!"
Xu Ziling and Wei Zhenzhen also said: "Master, please take care!"
Lu Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's not that serious. It's like a separation between life and death. I'm just worried about your safety. Based on my skills, this world is so big that there are only a few places where you can't trespass, but this Pegasus Ranch is definitely not there."
Among them, I am worried that if I cause any commotion, it will harm you! You must be vigilant tonight. If you notice anything unusual, try to leave immediately. I will go as a teacher!"
After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he put on his night clothes, covered his face with a black scarf, and quietly left the inn.
