Heroes of the Plane Cultivation System

Chapter 165 Murder in the Night

In the southwest of Jingling, where Zhangshui River and Jushui River pass, it is a verdant wilderness. The land here is fertile, and the fertile fields stretch as far as the eye can see. This is where the Pegasus Ranch is located, and there are only two narrow narrow roads running through the inside and outside. The terrain is dangerous and can be called a natural barrier.

At this time, there was a convoy walking slowly on the field. The wind blew across the pasture, and there was a sense of tranquility. There were more than a hundred riders around the convoy, wearing black armor, with a tragic aura. It is moving, these are the veterans who escaped death on the battlefield.

"Pegasus Ranch is indeed well-deserved!" The person who spoke was a pleasant female voice. She opened the curtain of the carriage and a woman looked at the surrounding scenery carefully, but the most important thing was the topography of Pegasus Ranch. She thought in her heart: "So The terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The people who established Pegasus Ranch back then really had a vision!" The woman admired in her heart, her entranced look had an indescribable charm, which was most heart-warming.

"Xiu Ning, it's been a bumpy journey, thank you for your hard work!" It was a man who spoke, wearing a brocade robe, he looked quite handsome, but his body was too frail.

That woman is Li Xiuning, the third miss of Li Family, and the man next to her is Li Xiuning's fiancé-in-law, Chai Shao.

Li Xiuning smiled softly and said: "The scenery here is beautiful, and I don't feel hard at all!" Li Xiuning looked at the Pegasus Ranch with bright eyes, but in her heart she was thinking about how to conquer the ranch if she attacked it. Although it is a daughter's family, it is a woman who does not give up to a man. She likes military affairs the most, and often has to think about dangerous terrain.

She had been to the ranch before, but she was still young at the time and didn't have so many thoughts, and the owner of the Pegasus Ranch, Shang Xiuxun, was a close friend, but she hadn't seen each other for several years, so I don't know how she is now?

Chai Shao didn't know what Li Xiuning thought, he only said that she liked the scenery here, and said, "If Xiuning likes it, we can spend a few days here!"

Li Xiuning frowned. Chai Shao came from a family of military generals, but his martial arts were mediocre. Now that he said these words, he didn't know what Li Xiuning was thinking. The man, with a long knife hanging from his waist, said, "Miss San, are you thinking about the terrain of the pasture?"

Li Xiuning looked over and saw that it was Li Gang, who was one of Li Xiuning's guards this time, and then smiled and said: "Xiu Ning is just a person who wants to build a Pegasus Ranch, he is a great person!"

Hearing this, Chai Shao just came to his senses, remembering the rumor that Li Xiuning would not give in to a woman, and it was true, and said: "This Pegasus Ranch is really amazing..." When he wanted to continue, he didn't know what to say, so he stood aside Li Gang glanced at Chai Shao, and thought in his heart: "Miss San's uncle doesn't seem to be good enough for Miss San, what a waste of a good skin!"

Li Gang said: "The Pegasus Ranch here was built in the late Jin Dynasty. The first owner, Shang Xiong, was a military commander. In order to avoid trouble, he came here with his family. Seeing that the terrain here was dangerous, he ran the ranch and built a fortress. This place is located in a remote place and is not a strategic location, so there are not many coveted eyes. After seven generations of owners, it has gradually become a climate, and the Pegasus Ranch has a rule not to get involved in the disputes between the court and the world. Playing safe and staying out of business, this Pegasus Field can concentrate on infiltrating the surrounding towns, and it has guards, so it has become a big force in Jingling!"

Li Xiuning sighed: "No brick or tile is made by nature. Our predecessors had to work hard to achieve the prosperity of Pegasus Ranch today!"

Li Gang smiled, pointed to the terrain of the ranch and said: "Miss San, you see, the terrain is surrounded by mountains and the terrain is dangerous. As long as the fortifications are built and the troops are divided up, there will only be one road left. Look, the blockhouse building is just the right place. Built according to the terrain, easy to defend but difficult to attack, it is a good place!"

At the same time, there was a sound of horseshoes, and when everyone saw the dust flying in front of them, they couldn't help becoming alert.

Li Gang said in a solemn tone: "Third Miss, be careful! It is said that there are horse thieves in Jingling area, specializing in robbing passing business travelers!" Of course, these business travelers all bought war horses from Pegasus Ranch, and they also robbed war horses.

"Everyone be alert!"

Hearing this, the Xuanjia soldiers had already drawn their weapons and were waiting in full formation. When they got close, Li Gang just breathed a sigh of relief. The leaders were all big men. It was Dou Wei who Li Xiuning sent to report. Li Xiuning looked at Fei Chi. The horse came with gleaming eyes. She was quite knowledgeable. She saw more than a hundred riders galloping behind Dou Wei. The athletes on the horses were all showing extraordinary skills. She thought in her heart: "These soldiers are indeed extraordinary!"

The horseshoes galloped, stepped on the green grass, splashed black mud, the rumbling sound of the horseshoes was like thunder, and made people's ears numb. Although there were more than a hundred horses, the power was shocking. Not long after, those hundreds of riders had arrived in front of the convoy, but beside Dou Wei was a big one-eyed man with piercing eyes, he was Liu Zongdao, the second deacon of Pegasus Ranch.

Under the leadership of Liu Zongdao, the convoy walked towards Pegasus Ranch. Li Xiuning said at this time: "Mr. Liu, I heard that horse thieves have appeared in the Jingling area recently. Many of the horses at Pegasus Ranch were robbed in the wilderness. I wonder if there is such a thing?”

Liu Zongdao showed a trace of killing intent on his face, which disappeared in a flash, and said: "It's just a clown, third lady, please don't worry!"

Hearing Liu Zongdao's words, Li Xiuning knew that this person was just talking harshly, so he stopped talking and just looked around. The motorcade slowly walked onto a gravel path. At this time, it was possible to see When we arrived at the majestic Pegasus Ranch, the fortress built against the mountain was as powerful as a monster. It was very scary. The suspension bridge was lowered on the moat, and everyone saw two teams of knights on both sides of the bridge. These cavalry were quite tough. , holding a torch in his hand, under the firelight Li Xiuning saw Ning standing in the center on a white horse, with a heroic female knight on top. Seeing Li Xiuning, the woman whispered: "Xiu Ning!"

It was Shang Xiuxun, the owner of the ranch, who had been lonely since she was a child, and her personality was quite withdrawn. The merchant had a good relationship with the Li family. Four times, the two women hadn't seen each other for quite some time, and when they saw each other now, they couldn't help but sigh.

Shang Xiuxun smiled, looked at the man next to Li Xiuning, who was wearing a brocade robe and looked quite handsome, and said, "Xiuning, who is this?"

Li Xiuning smiled and said, "This is Linfen Chaishao!"

Shang Xiuxun smiled and said: "Could it be that this young master is Xiuning's husband-in-law?"

Li Xiuning blushed, but she admitted it. Shang Xiuxun didn't want a joke to be true, so she just smiled and invited Li Xiuning and others to enter the pasture.

Shang Xiuxun hosted a banquet for Li Xiuning and others, and the banquet was very harmonious, not to mention Shang Xiuxun and Li Xiuning were close friends in the boudoir, they hadn't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they were talking and laughing.

After chatting for a while, Shang Xiuxun smiled and asked, "I wonder what Xiuning is talking about when you get up this time?"

Hearing this, Li Xiuning smiled lightly and said, "My father sent me here this time, just to find out how the horses of our Li family are doing?"

Shang Xiuxun gently brushed her hair at the sideburns, and said: "The horses that your Li family wants will be delivered as scheduled, Xiuning can rest assured."

Shang Xiuxun's gesture was indescribably flattering, even Li Xiuning couldn't help stretching for it, let alone Chai Shao who was at the side, Chai Shao thought in his heart: "What a stunning beauty!" Thinking in his heart, he didn't know whether he was To be favored by such a beautiful woman, to be so literary and elegant, to be so talented...

Gathering his mind, Li Xiuning asked, "By the way, Xiuxun, I heard that the Shuanglong Gang once came to your Pegasus Ranch?"

Li Xiuning was stunned, and said blankly: "Yes, you also know such a small gang, Xiuning?"

"Hehe..." Li Xiuning smiled wryly, and said, "Small gang? I'm afraid the Shuanglong Gang is no longer a small gang. My Li family has received news that Yangzhou City has already fallen into the hands of the Shuanglong Gang."

"Oh?" Shang Xiuxun was also a little interested. He didn't expect that the small gang he had not taken a fancy to could achieve such achievements in such a short period of time. He was really "I'm going to treat you with admiration after seeing each other for three days." .

"By the way, Xiuxun, the Ssangyong Gang came to your Pegasus Ranch last time, did they also want to buy horses?" Li Xiuning asked.

"Yes, but I didn't sell them horses." Shang Xiuxun replied truthfully.

Hearing this, Li Xiuning thought to himself, "Could it be that the Ssangyong Gang also wants to fight for world domination?"

"Xiu Ning, don't think about it, I have a new master here recently, come and taste his skills."

Hearing Shang Xiuxun's words, Li Xiuning couldn't help laughing, this Shang Xiuxun is the most fond of food, a true glutton, and then smiled slightly: "Since Xiuxun is invited, then I have to try everything."

"Order the kitchen to serve!" Shang Xiuxun said with a smile.

……

The night was as dark as ink, and it was a murderous night when the moon was dark and the wind was high.

Yangzhou has been prosperous since ancient times. In the depths of the courtyard, there are insects chirping and a candle flickering in the wind, as if a beautiful woman is fading away. Lu Wuchen sits quietly beside the stone table under the tree, as if a beautiful woman is fading away. Thinking about something.

"master……"

"Help Master..."

Amid the shouts, Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, and Xu Xingzhi appeared behind Lu Wuchen, their faces full of inexplicable meaning.

"Ugh……"

Standing up, Lu Wuchen sighed, and said lightly: "Are they here?"

"En!" The three nodded.

"Since we are here, we have to entertain him, otherwise we will be too sorry for his 'kindness'." Lu Wuchen said with a smile, but there was a cold light in his eyes, and a terrifying murderous intent gushed out.

"kill……"

The sound of weapons clashing with metal and stone was heard, and a sound of killing came from a distance...
