Pegasus Ranch is located in Jingling County, Hubei Province, roughly within today's Qianjiang City. This area belongs to the Jianghan Plain, which is formed by the alluvial accumulation of the Yangtze and Han Rivers. The land is fertile and gentle, and the water and grass are luxuriant. It is the most suitable place for raising livestock.
Cheng Peng rode a jade horse and galloped in the vast Jianghan Plain. He saw green grasslands everywhere and couldn't help but feel relaxed and happy.
Although he knew that this place was supposed to be a famous farming area and there was no such vast pasture at all, but after living for a long time in the dark and dense forest filled with miasma, he suddenly saw such an open and magnificent scene, and he naturally ignored it in his joy.
The problem of “unreality”.
The location of Pegasus Ranch is easy to find, and any passerby can point him in the direction. Yu Zhui’s horse gallops like flying, releasing the energy he has accumulated for many days. One man and one horse gallop on the grassland like a strong wind, and it is not dark yet.
, came to Pegasus Ranch.
A huge stockade suddenly appeared on the endless plain. From a distance, it looked like a small hill. It showed a bit of momentum under the setting sun. Sure enough, as an old farmer said when he asked for directions, Pegasus
The pasture is easy to find, anyone who is not blind can see it.
Cheng Peng came to the gate of the ranch and was stopped by a few servant-looking people.
"Every visitor is welcome!" A big man in armor shouted loudly, "Pegasus Ranch welcomes every upright guest!"
Cheng Peng dismounted with a smile, and in accordance with the rules of the martial arts world, handed over the title card of "Cheng Peng, Master of Yangzhou Shilong Martial Arts School".
The name of a person is the shadow of a tree. Although Cheng Peng of Yangzhou didn't debut for a long time, he did many great things: killing two masters of the Yuwen family in one night, defeating thousands of Sui Dynasty troops on his own, and assisting Zhai Rang in killing Li Mi.
...Recently, they have lost consecutively to the younger masters of the Demon Sect, Ke Feng Taoist and the senior master You Niaojuan. They are already very famous in the world, and can be regarded as the number one among the younger generation, except for Shi Feixuan, Hou Xibai and other top masters.
Even the horse thief Ba Fenghan, who has been in the limelight recently, is not as famous as him.
When this greeting card was handed over, the guard's expression suddenly changed, he welcomed him in very politely, and accompanied him all the way.
"Master Cheng has shown great power in Luoyang recently, which is really admirable!"
"you are welcome."
"I wonder why you came to Pegasus Ranch. Do you want to buy a good BMW horse? Or do you have any advice?"
"...Actually, I'm here to find someone."
"Oh? Can you tell me who I'm looking for? I'm quite familiar with Pegasus Ranch. Most of the people in the farm who often go out to the outside world know me."
Cheng Peng flipped through his notepad and found the pseudonyms of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.
"The two people I'm looking for are named Fu Bufan and Shi Shaolong. They are both around eighteen or nineteen years old. Fu Bufan is taller, handsome, doesn't talk much but is very reasonable, and is a very steady person; Shi Shaolong is slightly
He is a little short, has slightly dark skin, and is funny in conversation. You will never be bored when you get along with him.”
"Oh! So it's them!" The big man obviously knew Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling. He shouted and laughed, "These two are the chefs of our ranch. They are good at cooking, especially the sweet rice balls they make.
Sweet but not greasy, soft but not sticky, it really makes people have endless aftertaste!”
Although Cheng Peng also guessed that Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling were chefs here, he still couldn't bear to see these two young heroes in white coats busy in the kitchen like famous chefs.
Keep laughing.
"Who is that? It's okay if you don't come to help, you're still laughing!" Kou Zhong was working with his back turned to him. When he heard the laughter, he immediately said in displeasure, "Be careful, I will make you a salty dumpling later!"
But then he heard Xu Ziling's cheers.
"Brother Cheng!"
Kou Zhong turned around quickly and saw the young man in plain gray clothes smiling at the door of the kitchen. He was not Cheng Peng, but who was he!
The brothers were naturally very happy to meet again. That day, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling cooked all the seven or eight dishes they were famous for in one go. They also went to buy two kilograms of wine. The three of them sat in the corner of the restaurant in the ranch and drank happily.
Everyone talked about what happened since they parted. There was no need to go into details about Cheng Peng's experience, but Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling also had some adventures.
They have been wandering around since leaving Wagang Village. By chance, they rescued a retired imperial cook, and escorted the old man and a group of victims to the middle of Shu for refuge. Along the way, they not only picked up many unsightly bandits,
He also learned a lot about the old imperial chef's skills.
After the victims settled down in Shuzhong, the two returned to the Central Plains to travel. Later, due to lack of money, they accidentally met Liu Zongdao, the second manager of Pegasus Ranch, while working in a hotel. Liu Zongdao was full of praise for their cooking skills.
, and invited them to come to Pegasus Ranch to work as cooks.
The two planned to stay together for a few months, save up their expenses and then leave, but unexpectedly they met a senior hermit in the pasture!
The senior's surname was Lu, and he called himself Taeko. He was really a scholar. He and Kou and Xu had a good rapport, so they taught each other everything they knew. Among them, Kou Zhong was more interested in architecture, institutions, and the art of war. Xu Ziling
Then he likes astronomy, geography, medicine, divination and so on.
Lu Miaozi's knowledge is indeed too profound, and the two of them have not been able to complete all their studies, so they have been living at Pegasus Ranch until now.
"Brother Cheng, why are you here? Do you want to buy a horse? But don't you have a BMW?" After talking about his experience during this period, Kou Zhong asked curiously, "Could it be that you are here to cause trouble for someone?
?To be honest, there are indeed some very annoying guys in this ranch, but I think they are not qualified to have a grudge against you, Brother Cheng..."
"It's not them who are in trouble, it's you." Cheng Peng sighed, suppressed his smile, and said solemnly, "Do you know Goryeo's 'Sword Master' Fu Cailin?"
"My mother's master, our master, how could I not know this?"
"I got news that maybe he has sent his disciples to the Central Plains again, probably to track down Miss Fu's whereabouts." Cheng Peng didn't know much about the situation of the person who was going to duel with him, but from what he heard from the other party's words, he felt that
He is also a disciple of Fu Cailin, "Ms. Fu accepts you as her adopted son, and teaches you the Nine Mysterious Techniques of Master Yi Jian... I'm afraid people won't accept these things!"
"So what if we don't admit it? You can force us all to forget it!" Kou Zhong snorted and said angrily, "Even if we can forget the Jiuxuan Dafa formula, do we still have to force us to deny our motherhood?"
Xu Ziling, who had been silent until now, said: "Young Master Zhong, you think of them too well. If the other party is such a reasonable person, why would Brother Cheng make the matter so serious?"
"Then what else do they want!"
"Of course it's to kill people and silence them." Xu Ziling sighed, "If Brother Cheng hadn't happened to meet us, I'm afraid you and I would be two dead people at this moment."
"Ziling, have you drunk too much?" Kou Zhong asked doubtfully, "Aren't we in good company?"
Xu Ziling put down his wine glass, stood up slowly, turned to face the restaurant upstairs and said, "That person upstairs, should I call you senior aunt or senior uncle? If you are interested, why don't you come down and talk to me?"
This time even Cheng Peng was surprised.
As an innate master, he has extremely keen senses, but he did not feel that there was anyone of note nearby. Unexpectedly, Xu Ziling was obviously far inferior to him in martial arts, but he could feel the presence of the other person!
The Secret of Immortality, this ancient book, is truly extraordinary!
When Xu Ziling said these words, a cold sword energy appeared in the upstairs that seemed empty at first.
What comes with the sword energy is a biting coldness.
Cheng Peng's Bingxuanjin is also a Yin-cold skill, but unless he activates it with all his strength, it is absolutely impossible to emit such a strong cold energy - today is the fourth day of August, which is the hottest event of the year, but this
The cold weather not only lowered the surrounding temperature, but even the food on the dining table for three people was covered with a thin layer of frost.
Both Cheng Peng and Kou Xu were people who had cultivated the innate Qi, and their resistance to cold and heat was much stronger than ordinary people. Therefore, although they were wearing single clothes, their faces remained calm, but they were secretly frightened. But the guests in the tavern were
He and Xiaoer didn't have the same skills as them, and they were so cold that they shivered and ran away screaming as if they had seen a ghost.
"Since when did Fu Cailin's disciples have such cold kung fu?" Cheng Peng frowned and shouted, "If you want to fight, just fight. What's the point of pretending to be mysterious and mysterious? Didn't you see that you caused trouble for the guests in the tavern!"
The man didn't seem to expect that Cheng Peng would mention the guests in the tavern, and his aura suddenly stopped, but he still didn't lose the awe-inspiring chill.
"What's wrong with clearing the place before taking action?" The voice came, cold and crisp, and it turned out to be a woman.
Cheng Peng and Kou Xu looked up and saw a woman wearing Korean-style white clothes with gauze hanging from a wide bamboo hat, holding a simple long sword and walking slowly down from the second floor of the tavern.
Everywhere she went, the ground, handrails, stairs, wall panels... were all covered with thick frost, as if she was the goddess of winter who brought winter to the world!
"I am Bai Yu, a disciple of Fu Cailin." The cold voice that seemed to be completely solidified came from behind the gauze curtain, with a chilling murderous intent, "Tomorrow at noon, I will be waiting on the hill five miles away in the south.
you."
She walked through the tavern step by step and left like this, never stopping from the beginning to the end.
