Huang Pengfei quickly observed carefully: "Oh, why can I only see three horses? Lao Li, how many can you see?"

Li Xiao thought for a while and said: "Let's go to Hangzhou as our next stop. I heard that the West Lake there is also very beautiful."

"Okay, then we'll set off tomorrow." Huang Pengfei said excitedly.
