In the southwest of Jingling County, the two tributaries of the Yangtze River, Zhangshui and Jushui, demarcate a large triangular fertile plain. The two rivers gurglingly flow through, irrigating the fertile fields on both sides, and finally merge into the river.

The climate here is mild, the soil is fertile, and the products are abundant. Among them, the wilderness where Pegasus Ranch is located has particularly rich pastures. It is surrounded by mountains and covers more than ten square miles of fertile fields. There are only two east and west gorges for entry and exit. The situation is dangerous.

, forming a natural shield for the pasture.

If you take a bird's-eye view from the top of the mountain, the fields at the foot of the mountain are like blankets of different sizes, forming a beautiful pattern that is refreshing. On the grassland full of pleasant colors, green, green, and dark, more than ten

Lakes of different sizes are embedded in it like bright mirrors. The turquoise lake water and green pastures compete with each other, making them full of color and vitality.

In this fairyland-like paradise, various types of livestock are densely populated - white sheep, yellow or gray cattle, and horses of various colors, enjoying their own leisure and rest, making the entire farm and pasture even more colorful.

On a higher ground in the northwest corner, there is a majestic castle built, leaning against a steep cliff and facing a winding river, making it even more spectacular.

The buildings in the outer fort are all rough and simple, built with stones and magnificent in shape. The inner fort is even more grand in scale. The main building has five-storied palaces and pavilions, as well as side halls and verandas. The large and small buildings are arranged in an orderly manner inside the fort, decorated with decorations.

With its gardens, flowers and trees, small bridges and waterfalls, it is elegant and pleasant.

At this time, in the middle of the inner castle, in the Bird Garden, which consists of more than thirty various houses, which belongs to the owner of the ranch, the mistress of the ranch is watching the information submitted by her subordinates in a hall.

Her two slender legs are overlapped together, with her right leg on top. The smooth curves of moderate width and thinness make her long legs appear plump, powerful and well-proportioned. Her beautiful black hair pours down on her like two small waterfalls.

The fragrant shoulders are unusually beautiful.

At this moment, she opened her red lips and said, "The four major bandits actually sent letters to the Lord of Jingling City at the same time, one asking us to surrender and the other asking for help. Sister Fu, what do you think?"

A maid in her twenties, who was dressed in something that did not look like a maid, said: "Owner, our Pegasus Ranch has been run by several old owners over the years and has become no more powerful than any other in the world. How can we surrender to a mere Mao bandit?"

The beauty host nodded, stood up from his seat, went to the window and looked out at the picturesque scenery inside the castle. As he walked around, his long, hip-length black hair swayed from side to side, giving people an indescribably beautiful feeling.

"Yes, our Pegasus Ranch has been able to stand here for several generations, transcending the shackles of the world's dynasties. In addition to the fact that the terrain here is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are only two valley entrances into the plains; the second reason is that the ranch is located on the border between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Dynasty.

In the past, the two dynasties happened to be separated by pastures, which gave us our transcendent status."

"But these four bandits are not ordinary grass bandits. They are coming with force. They come to recruit us under the guise of replacing Jianghuai Du Fuwei. It seems that Du Fuwei is behind them and is targeting the war horses in our pasture."

After saying this, Shang Xiuxun, the owner of the beauty farm, turned around and looked at Sister Fu: "Go and inform the manager Shang Zhenda that the ranch has entered a state of martial law. All soldiers are mobilized to guard against the attack of the four bandits in three days."

The third steward, Tao Shusheng, is responsible for gathering intelligence. After the four major bandits are defeated, he will send troops to rescue Jingling. Du Fuwei cannot be allowed to succeed easily, otherwise the ranch will be in danger."

Sister Fu took the order and went down, and Pegasus Ranch entered a state of emergency.

——

It was originally thought that there would be a big battle in three days, but intelligence also showed that the three bandits' 5,000 troops were still a hundred miles away to the north. The owner of the beauty field decided to let everyone rest for a night, and sent 200 soldiers to each of the two valley mouths to guard the gorge.

It was night, Shang Xiuxun had just laid down, and felt that not long after he closed his eyes, he was shaken up by Sister Fu.

"Miss, it's not good. The four major bandits have entered the valley. The details are unknown now. Deacon Liu has led a large team of people to go out to search for them."

Shang Xiuxun woke up immediately and hurriedly put on the tight-fitting clothes that had been prepared for fighting to cover her slender body. When he looked at Sister Fu again, his voice was a little sharp: "Why did you inform me about this kind of thing, Liu?

How long has it been since the deacon took people out?"

Deacon Liu's name is Liu Zongdao, he is the second deacon of Pegasus Ranch, and his status is only lower than that of the chief deacon Shang Zhen.

"Miss, everyone has seen that you have been too tired these past few days. There are only about 5,000 bandits attacking from the left and right, and the more than 10,000 soldiers in the ranch can handle it, so everyone thinks there is no need to alarm the lady..."

Sister Fu is Shang Xiuxun's personal maid. She has a high status in the ranch and is qualified to participate in various meetings.

Hearing the somewhat aggrieved voice of his personal maid, Shang Xiuxun knew that everyone had good intentions, and Sister Fu's notification to him was outside of everyone's discussion.

"I blamed you wrongly. Come on, follow me and take people out. Deacon Liu himself may not be found in such a big valley. Besides, there are many of our villages outside, where many villagers live. Don't let thieves take over.

It’s a disaster for people.”

Shang Xiuxun tied up her long hair, pulled her cloak around her back, and then left the room.

——

The information is completely wrong!

It was originally thought that the four major bandits were no more than 5,000 strong, but Deacon Liu led 5,000 people out of the fort, and Shang Xiuxun led 4,000 people out of the fort. They thought that as long as one group encountered a group of bandits, they could send a signal to support them.

Defeat the bandits by attacking from both sides.

Unexpectedly, not long after Shang Xiuxun took his people out, he encountered the main force of the Four Bandits!

It was hard to see clearly in the dark night, but the overwhelming black momentum must have exceeded 20,000 people.

After a battle, the Pegasus Ranch army was defeated and forced to retreat in all directions under the cover of night.

Shang Xiuxun took Sister Fu, the third deacon Tao Shusheng and more than a dozen guards to hide in an empty village designed by "Lu Miaozi", waiting for the rescue of reinforcements. This empty village is full of traps and mazes, and those who don't know the path will be trapped.

It's easy to get lost in it.

Originally, Shang Xiuxun and others had escaped from the pursuers, but for some reason, Deacon Liu's reinforcements did not arrive, and the bandits gathered outside the village first.

The only good news is that because the bandits had previously dispersed to hunt down the defeated soldiers at Pegasus Ranch, they only had two to three thousand people after regrouping.

After all, in this dark night, once they get separated, it is quite difficult to gather them together.

Cao Yinglong, the leader of the four bandits, the "Ghost Crying God", was helpless against the ragtag group of people under his command, but he only wanted to use this group of people and did not intend to spend too much effort on these people.

Among the four major bandits, except for Cao Yinglong, who looks upright and academic, the other three are miserable. They are Xiang Batian, who is "not even an inch of grass",

"Leave no chickens or dogs behind" and "scorched earth thousands of miles away" are frivolous. His nicknames indicate that he is not a good person, and his name is not much better.

A black figure lay on the roof where Shang Xiuxun and others were hiding. It was Murong Fu.

The reason why he was able to arrive in time was thanks to the urging of his two younger brothers. Shuanglong came to Fei Ge and asked him to save the life of the owner of the beauty field. Xu Ziling felt quite guilty for losing the opponent in the illusion, but at this time he only had the only thought in his heart

Shi Qingxuan is alone and has no skills at all, so she can only leave the "important responsibility" to her elder brother.

Murong Fu led 3,000 troops out of the city. Before leaving, he specifically asked Lu Wende for 3,000 war horses. Lu Wende allocated an extra 1,000 horses to him, and led the troops to the Pegasus Ranch all the way.

However, a group of infantrymen who had hardly ever ridden a horse could easily mount a horse very quickly, so they could only train their equestrian skills while on the road. Murong Fu set out on the road alone.

Cousin Wang Yuyan learned that the Four Bandits were about to attack the Pegasus Ranch, and repeatedly suggested to her cousin that she should seize the opportunity to capture Shang Xiuxun and make her his woman. This way she would have war horses, which would be a great help to the great cause.

Regarding the suggestions from his cousin and Shuanglong, Murong Fu was a little speechless. Shang Xiuxun was close to perfection in every aspect, and his personality was a little self-rewarding and reclusive. Did he mean to win as soon as he got it?

We can only take one step at a time.

The four bandits seemed to believe that Shang Xiuxun was in the village, and they tried to make the woman angry by using dirty words, but it was obvious that Shang Xiuxun was indifferent at all.

The four bandits seemed to know how powerful this village was, and they even demolished the houses from the outside in.

As long as all the houses are demolished, there will be no institutions left.

Boom boom boom——

The walls of the house were hit hard, and the sound of collapse sounded from all directions at the same time. With the help of the noisy noise, Murong Fu lifted up the tiles, entered the house, and hid in the beams.

I saw a dozen people inside the house guarding the windows and looking out.

The voice of Shang Xiuxun talking to the maid next to him came: "Our whereabouts have been discovered by the four bandits again for some reason. It seems that Deacon Liu can't bring people to come in time. Wait for a while, if they don't come, we will evacuate from the tunnel."

.”

"The owner of the field is absolutely right. It is better to protect yourself. You are the owner of the field, so you must not let anything happen."

When there are outsiders around, Sister Fu will call her lady the owner of the venue, and the lady will only call her in private.

The third deacon, Tao Shusheng, was alone guarding a window. He looked back and saw that no one was paying attention to him. He took out a bamboo tube from his clothes and shook his hand to shoot it out of the window. Murong Fu could no longer hide his figure and shouted: "Stop!"

More than a dozen people in the house were shocked and looked up at the beams and pillars.

Tao Shusheng hurriedly secretly took the things back into his arms.

After Murong Fu showed that he had no ill intentions, he slid down the pillar and barely touched the ground. Tao Shusheng took a step forward and poked his chest and side with his fingers.

There was a chirping sound from the finger wind.

Shang Xiuxun wanted to drink but it was too late to stop.

Murong Fu knew that he was afraid that he would tell him that he was a traitor, so he snorted coldly, let his fingertips poke at his body, and shot out lightning with his right palm.

Tao Shusheng was overjoyed and thought to himself that even though you have the body's true energy to protect you, you still can't stop my fierce attacks. His ultimate skill is to destroy the body's true energy.

Unexpectedly, with a pointing finger, there was no force, as if it had missed the target. I was so frightened that it was too late to dodge the palm, and was knocked unconscious by Murong Fu's palm.

Reaching out to lift his belt, Murong Fu gently placed Uncle Tao on the ground.
