The mountains are green and the fields are vast.
Cows and sheep can be seen in the windblown grass.
The southern part of Youzhou is dominated by plains and hills, with some natural grasslands appearing on some hills.
Majiaquan chose the most fertile piece of grassland in the northeast corner of Youzhou Prefecture as the location of his own grassland.
It has been more than a year since I came to Youzhou, and the Ma family has become the new rich in Youzhou Prefecture.
A large part of the war horses bred on his own pasture were supplied to the government, that is, the Zhenbei Army.
Therefore, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Ma family is a family supported by Cao Su. The Ma family has a place in the large Youzhou Prefecture. The children of the Ma family are also high-class children in Youzhou Prefecture. Ordinary people would not dare to provoke them.
On this day, outside the Ma family's pasture, the owner of the family, Ma Liao, took everyone in the Ma family early and waited ten miles away.
Everyone in the Ma family was waiting hard. The older ones were fine, but the younger ones were already restless and looking around.
"Who are you waiting for?"
The Ma family now has a large population, and there are also many young people in the family.
This time, Ma Liao specially brought his young disciples with him, preparing to show his face in front of General Zhenbei. If General Zhenbei can take a fancy to him and be absorbed into General Zhenbei's team, it will be the fate of these disciples.
.
Unexpectedly, these young men were used to being arrogant and indulgent, and gradually developed some "dandy" tendencies. Although they were forced to come over, their faces showed a look of ease.
"How long do we have to wait? Although the sunshine is good, there is no need to expose it to more, right?"
One disciple whispered quietly.
At noon, the sunshine in Majia Grassland in Youzhou Prefecture is indeed very warm. On May day, the gentle sunshine with gentle breeze slightly illuminates the grass, reflecting some green buds.
"That's right, if I have this time, I might as well go back and have a drink with my brothers. I heard that a new flower building opened in Youzhou Prefecture today..."
The children of the Ma family whispered quietly, thinking that Maliao couldn't hear them because they were a little far away.
Maliao did not hear it, but Bai Jing next to Maliao could hear it clearly. He turned around and glared at the disciples.
"Um?"
Maliao frowned: "Brother Xian, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, brother, it's just a trivial matter." Bai Jing shook his head and did not tell Ma Liao what the Ma family's children were talking about.
Maliao looked into the distance and smiled: "That seems to be General Zhenbei's team?"
Following Ma Liao's finger, Bai Jing also raised his sight, and on the official road in the distance, a group of figures did appear.
The group of figures came quietly, not very fast.
"It should be." Bai Jing couldn't see clearly, but the one who was able to gather such a neat team and rush towards Ma's pasture in a hurry was probably General Zhenbei.
Maliao no longer hesitated and rushed down the ten-mile slope.
Bai Jing also followed closely behind, and dozens of horses from the Ma family rushed towards Cao Su's traveling team in billowing smoke.
Cao Su only traveled with a hundred tiger and leopard cavalry. Ma Chao was the leader of this tiger and leopard cavalry, and he saw his father rushing towards him at a glance.
He showed excitement, suppressed the feeling of rushing out, and ordered the tiger and leopard cavalry to assume a guarding posture.
Not long after, Maliao rushed to the front of the motorcade and met his precious eldest son face to face.
Ma Chao winked.
Maliao nodded, got off his horse, and together with Bai Jing, came to the front of the team: "Ma Liao, a common man, has met General Zhenbei."
The team in the wilderness became a little quieter. In the most luxurious carriage, a voice floated out: "Brother Ma, why are you separated from me too?"
After Cao Su finished speaking, he opened the curtain and walked out of the carriage.
The tiger and leopard cavalry guards at the side immediately brought the war horse over. Cao Su got on the horse and gently pinched the horse's belly.
The horse under the seat understood and walked forward for a few steps, then came to Ma Liao.
When Ma Liao heard what Cao Su said, he smiled a little more, but his face was still very respectful: "General Zhenbei, you are so polite. Ma is a commoner, and he should salute the general when he sees him. Please allow me to take the general to our horse."
Resident inspection at home.”
After Ma Liao finished speaking, he took the initiative to lead Cao Su's horse.
However, Cao Su stopped Ma Liao and said seriously: "Old Ma, it's really unnecessary. I'm not an official in the city of Shendu. I don't care about such red tape. You and I only see friendship, so just keep everything simple."
After speaking, Cao Su ordered the tiger and leopard cavalry to get out of the way, giving Ma Liao a chance to come in and keep pace with Cao Su.
Ma Liao had no choice but to mount his horse and go with Cao Su, while Bai Jing, Ma Chao and others followed behind.
As for Anyang's personal guard Wen Guangze shook his head disdainfully, and was quite unhappy with Cao Su's disparagement of "Master Shendu Official", but he did not dare to refute Cao Su, and wisely avoided Cao Su.
He came to the back of the team and took up the role of guard.
When traveling to Anyang, there are also more than a dozen Yulin Army guards.
These guards all rode war horses brought from the palace, and Wen Guang belonged to the leader of these guards.
He came to the side of the carriage and knocked on the window as usual: "Princess?"
"Brother, don't worry, everything is fine."
Anyang in the carriage sighed helplessly.
Although Wen Guang is the most outstanding disciple of the Wen family and has excellent martial arts talents, he is always stubborn and always does things in a single-minded way. In fact, according to the logic, as long as Anyang is sent to Zhenbei General's Mansion, his mission will be completed.
.
However, Wen Guang said that he had not received any notification from the clan, so he made a special trip to stay in Youzhou Prefecture to serve as Anyang's bodyguard.
Anyang was better off in the Zhenbei General's Mansion. Once he left the General's Mansion, Wen Guang would be seen everywhere he went, inseparable and very conscientious.
Cao Su and Ma Liao walked at the front, and soon the other dozen horses of the Ma family followed.
Many young men who came on horseback immediately saw Ma Chao in heavy armor at the front.
"Brother!"
"Big brother is back!"
The young man didn't see Cao Su, Ma Liao and others at all, he only stared at Ma Chao in the crowd.
Ma Chao, on the other hand, kept his dignity as an elder brother with a cold face and ignored them.
Bai Jing shouted loudly: "What kind of behavior are you doing? Don't block the road, go back to the back."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although the Bai family has a small population, Bai Jing has a high prestige in the clan because he is Maliao's sworn brother, and he often makes a fool of himself, and the disciples in the clan
They were all afraid of him and got out of the way after hearing this.
Ma Liao smiled and introduced in a low voice: "General Zhenbei, these are the next generation of the most outstanding disciples of my Ma family."
"They are not yet twenty years old. Some of them have already reached the seventh level of strength realm and are only one step away from entering the middle level of strength realm. Others have great experience in raising horses and controlling beasts and have mastered the secrets of my horse family.
The basis of the art.”
He had reached the seventh level of strength before he was twenty years old. Looking at the entire Youzhou Prefecture, he was considered a pretty good genius.
Of course, it certainly cannot be compared with top young talents like Ma Chao and Shi Yong.
When Cao Su heard this, he smiled: "The Ma family is indeed full of talents. These children are still young, so why not come to our army to experience and practice. Like Ma Chao, they have now begun to move towards the top level of strength."
Ma Chao is now at the fourth level of strength realm, although he is only one step away from the top level of strength realm.
But the distance of just one step is huge, and Ma Chao may not be able to easily break through to the top level of strength in the short term.
Maliao didn't expect that Cao Su would speak his mind in one sentence, and he was very happy: "Being able to come and experience under the general's rule is a blessing that they will never be able to achieve in eight lifetimes."
Cao Su laughed "hahaha" several times.
The team soon arrived at the Ma family's pasture. On the pasture, countless cattle and sheep gathered around, while in the distance there were a large number of war horses galloping back and forth under the management of the Ma family.
Just as everyone arrived, more than a thousand war horses galloped across the river.
Under the blue sky and white clouds, on the endless grassland, the horses are walking on the water, and the water is splashing, creating a wonderful scene of Pegasus bathing in the river.
"What a beauty......."
Anyang and Liu Yiqi appeared outside together holding hands.
The two women looked at this wonderful scene and couldn't help but show a hint of admiration.
"Um?"
Cao Su secretly glanced at the place where the two people were holding hands, and then looked away.
Ma Liao, who was on the side, began to introduce the development of the Ma family in the past year: "So far, our Ma family has bred more than 8,000 first-generation horses and more than 2,000 second-generation horses. A few days ago, we
The Ma family has bred three generations of good horses."
"Third generation? Not second generation?"
When Ma Chao passed the news before, he was talking about the second generation. Unexpectedly, the Ma family has already cultivated the third generation.
Ma Chao scratched his head in embarrassment. He hadn't been home for a long time, and he didn't know what kind of work he had done at home. When he sent a message, he accidentally sent it to the wrong person.
Cao Su didn't care about these details. He listened to Ma Liao going on.
Maliao smiled and said: "It's already the third generation!"
He showed excitement: "The general doesn't know something. These three generations of good horses can be said to combine the advantages of the previous two generations. They are the best breed I have bred."
"I tested it before. The third generation of good horses not only makes the war horse taller and stronger, but also greatly increases the endurance and carrying capacity of the war horse."
"I predict that the carrying capacity of the third-generation war horse will reach more than one thousand kilograms."
One thousand catties? Cao Su was stunned for a moment. The one thousand catties mentioned here are the kind of war horses that can be carried normally in battle. If it can really reach one thousand catties, then the strength of this war horse may not be as strong as in his previous life.
Below the top carnivore.
"They are full of energy and blood, and have a arrogant physique. I heard that the best war horses in ancient times can even be trained to become monsters. I see that the war horses bred by your Ma family are getting stronger and stronger, and there is a trend in this direction."
Cao Su praised Maliao, but this compliment made Maliao stunned.
A war horse turns into a monster?
This kind of thing has not happened before in history. Just over a hundred years ago, it was not our Ma family. Our Ma family had not yet risen. It was also a family in Xizhou that bred a war horse.
The war horse was born different from other war horses. Not only was it bad-tempered, but its hooves were turned red, and its physique was as strong as a bison.
As the years went by, the strength of the war horse became stronger and stronger, easily breaking through the thousand-pound barrier.
Later, a general in Shendu heard about the war horse and traveled all the way to Xizhou, found the family and subdued the war horse.
The war horse followed the general on his expeditions to the north and south. Under the influence of the general's evil spirit, the war horse's physique underwent profound changes little by little.
Unfortunately, the general died on the battlefield one day.
On the day the general died in battle, the evil spirit entered the horse's body, and it turned into a monster and went crazy. In the end, it swallowed countless human bodies without distinguishing between friend and foe and disappeared.
Ma Liao's face twitched: "General, this should be too early. Our war horses are only slightly more powerful than ordinary war horses now."
"I know, don't be afraid."
"Even if this war horse turns into a monster, it won't be able to make any trouble under my rule."
Cao Su patted Maliao on the shoulder, making Maliao dumbfounded.
In front of Cao Su, ordinary monsters are really useless. Only monsters at the "monster transformation" level are equivalent to martial arts warriors who have entered the Xuan Realm and monks who have entered the Nascent Soul Realm.
Only "demon" can threaten Cao Su.
As long as the remaining monsters are still in the category of "monsters", Cao Su is confident that he can fight them no matter how long he has been practicing.
After everyone saw the "Picture of Tianma Bathing in the River", they walked along the river and soon saw white tents.
The Ma family's residence is here, creating a place with the same scenery as the fortress.
Cao Su and his two wives walked into the Ma's residence. As soon as they entered, the residence was filled with cheers of singing and dancing.
A tall fire was set up in the middle, and amid the melodious sound of the flute, a tall woman wearing a frost-like snow-colored robe danced her boneless waist. Her broad cuffs had a coquettish dark red cloud pattern, which was long.
Her silver hair was flying in the air, and her flawless jade face was as white and flawless as the lotus on Tianshan Mountain.
She danced gracefully, with her round and slender legs vaguely exposed in the gap between her skirts, and played a blurry moonlight song among the crowd gathered around her.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Cao Su couldn't help but be attracted to the tall woman with a beautiful and exotic appearance.
Her eyes turned and were full of spirituality. After seeing Cao Su, she smiled like a crescent moon.
"Brother Cao."
Ma Yuanji also opened her eyes. The little girl she used to be is now graceful and elegant, and she has become more interesting.
While dancing, she came to Cao Su, completely ignoring Anyang and Liu Yiqi beside Cao Su.
Although the two women were not angry about this, they didn't look good either.
"Yuan Ji, you have grown up."
Cao Su smiled. In fact, he had met Ma Yuanji a few days ago.
But at that time, Ma Yuanji was not like she is today. She looked like a silver enchantress under the moonlight.
Ma Yuanji was even more happy when she heard Cao Su's words. Just like when she saw Cao Su in Xizhou a few years ago, she extended an invitation to Cao Su: "Can I ask Brother Cao to dance?"
At this moment, the entire Ma's residence became quiet.
Anyang and Liu Yiqi, who were traveling with Cao Su, also focused their attention on Cao Su.
The numerous tiger and leopard mounted guards and guards remained silent, pretending not to know anything.
The silver-haired girl looked at Cao Su anxiously, and was so nervous that she closed her hands.
Under her disappointed eyes, Cao Su shook his head: "I am Cao."
"Can't dance."
At this moment, everyone was in an uproar.
The entire Ma family, like Ma Yuanji, fell into an awkward and soundless silence.
Anyang and Liu Yiqi, who were traveling with them, also noticed this, and their expressions changed slightly. They didn't know why "refuse to dance" had such a big response.
Ma Yuanji's face turned pale, and her heart hurt even more than the first time she was rejected by Cao Su.
After all, the first time was just a girl's impromptu idea, but this time, she had been carefully preparing for a long time.
Her eyes were misty and she looked quite depressed.
Ma Liao on the side had a heavy face, but he was also ready to make a rescue immediately: "Nonsense, who is General Zhenbei? How can I dance with you? Why don't you retreat quickly!"
"Why!"
Cao Su stretched out his hand to stop Ma Liao, and took the initiative to come to Yuan Ji, who was obviously in trouble: "I, Cao, can't dance, but I can still drink. If Yuan Ji doesn't mind, you can drink with me tonight."
"I heard that your father carefully prepared fine prairie wine."
Ma Yuanji did not expect that Cao Su had a compensation mechanism. Being refused to dance was equivalent to a failed courtship on the grassland, but the other party was not from the grassland, and the other party also actively invited him to drink. What does this mean? Does this mean that General Zhenbei is still right?
Did she mean it?
She immediately cheered up and wiped away some tears from her eyes.
Ma Liao on the side was overjoyed when he heard this, and his expression immediately softened: "That's right, drink, go and get ready. Today I'm hosting a banquet for General Zhenbei, and I'll make sure I don't get drunk before I come back!"
