Chapter five hundred and twentieth the precarious pasture
The so-called arm cannot twist the thigh!
No matter how complicated the relationship between Pegasus Ranch owner Shang Xiuxun and her father Lu Miaozi is, she cannot be allowed to act like a little girl when the survival of the ranch is at stake.
In front of Wu Guogong Lei Hu, no matter what the ranch's senior management thought, they were all trembling with fear at this time, and they did not dare to take any thought. If they were not careful, their lives might be in danger.
Shang Xiuxun was under great pressure. The life and death of everyone in the ranch depended on her thoughts.
I don't dare to express my grievances in my heart. Even though Wu Guogong has always been very polite, if he doesn't give him face, Pegasus Ranch may be destroyed at any time.
Who said that Wu Guogong didn't care about the ranch's flagship product, military horses, but paid more attention to a certain old man hidden in the ranch?
Feeling the pleading look in the ranch's senior management's eyes, Shang Xiuxun was unable to resist at all, and in the end he had no choice but to nod and let Lu Miaozi come out.
"So good!"
Lei Hu smiled lightly, nodded and said.
The atmosphere calmed down, and the senior management of Pegasus Ranch breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that their backs were covered in cold sweat.
…
"The majestic Duke of Wu, the most powerful prince in the world, and the most powerful master in the world, how can he bully a little girl?"
It was still the main hall of the small mountain town of Pegasus Ranch. Lu Miaozi, the target of Lei Hu's trip, finally appeared and spoke with rude ridicule.
quiet!
The vast main hall was silent, so quiet that it made people feel uneasy and uneasy.
Fortunately, the top management of the ranch have left, otherwise I would have scared the shit out of them just by saying this.
The ranch owner Shang Xiuxun who followed him in felt his legs weaken, his face turned pale and he was about to fall to the ground. His heart was full of horror and unwillingness.
"It's better than a loser like you!"
Lei Hu's unhurried voice broke the solemn atmosphere in the main hall, but what he said made Lu Miaozi look extremely ugly: "He obviously has powerful trap skills, but he didn't know it when he was besieged by rogue bandits at Pegasus Ranch.
Help me, Lu Miaozi, you are so cowardly!"
"What does Mr. Wu know? It doesn't hurt my back to stand and talk!"
Lu Miaozi's old face flushed red, but she didn't dare to be too presumptuous, but her words were also filled with anger: "I have my own reasons!"
The last sentence was said to his daughter Shang Xiuxun.
"Haha, don't you just want to avoid my mother-in-law? Don't talk about yourself being so humiliating!"
Lei Hu sneered: "If Pegasus Ranch is really attacked by bandits, do you think you still have a chance to survive?"
snort!
Lu Miaozi looked unhappy, found a chair and sat down, saying nothing, as if she didn't want to speak.
Shang Xiuxun finally came to his senses. His beautiful little face was still pale. He sat cautiously aside and did not dare to hum. Apparently there was no room for her to speak in the main hall.
"Lu Miaozi, aren't you putting your hopes on the boy named Li behind the four great bandits?"
Curling his lips, Lei Hu said disdainfully: "For the sake of your life, you can't wait to sell the owner of the mall. It's really heartbreaking!"
"What kind of boy named Li? I don't know what Mr. Wu is talking about?"
Lu Miaozi's expression changed drastically. He glanced at Shang Xiuxun next to him, who was full of hatred, and said angrily: "With my mechanism skills, it is not difficult to save Xiuxun's life at the critical moment!"
"Oh, from what you're saying, you obviously don't take Pegasus Ranch's foundation seriously!"
Lei Hu smiled softly, nodded at the pale and ugly Shang Xiuxun, and said leisurely: "What a ruthless bastard!"
"Mr. Wu, don't go too far!"
Lu Miaozi was so angry that she almost vomited blood. Her eyes were bloodshot and she said, "I only know the art of mechanism. How can I help the ranch to defend itself if I'm still injured all the time?"
Even though this guy looks like he has a bad temper, since he entered the main hall, his tone of voice, although harsh, is within a tolerable range. It is obvious that he is very comfortable communicating with a big shot like Lei Hu.
This guy has no intention of settling it down. Not to mention that doing so will put his daughter Shang Xiuxun into a huge danger. Who is willing to die if he can live?
Lu Miaozi is a world-famous mechanism master. Since he was able to design the mechanism for Yang Su's treasure in the first place, it is obvious that he still has some fame and fortune in his heart.
Maybe he is not interested in being an official, but he has promoted the Mohist organ skills, and he also has the idea of becoming famous among the princes. Otherwise, how could this guy get in touch with Yang Su, and how could he know the evil emperor Xiang Yutian?
Did people come to you on their own initiative?
As far as Lei Hu was concerned, Lu Miaozi was quite measured in his words and did not vent his anger carelessly.
Regardless of whether this guy still has the pursuit of fame and fortune in his heart, he would not dare to refuse Lei Hu's solicitation just for the sake of Shang Xiuxun's daughter.
Besides, with Thunder Tiger protecting him, his injuries were nothing. Even if the Yin Queen Zhu Yuyan found out about him later, she would not dare to do anything to him.
I really thought it would be better to live in anonymity for decades without daring to show my face. No matter how you look at it, Lu Miaozi is not the kind of person who would willingly retreat to the mountains and forests of her own accord.
Lei Hu was more than 70% sure of taking him under his command, so he spoke very rudely.
Corporal Lixian?
It doesn't exist. It's a method that can only be found in the early stages of entrepreneurship. In Lei Hu's current state, is there any wise man in the world who can call him "Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage"?
The system of the Guogong Mansion has been perfected, and it is impossible for a certain great talent to join and occupy a high position.
Not to mention that this great talent cannot sit still, the internal friction of the system alone will waste a lot of precious time. Lei Hu is not happy to see such a situation happen.
Of course, masters of mechanical mathematics like Lu Miaozi are high-level talents that are in short supply in the Duke's government. It is quite easy to get a high position. With his ability, he can easily gain enough credit. Lei Hu is not worried that his talent will be buried.
It's just that the source of this guy's depression for decades was Lei Hu's cheap mother-in-law Zhu Yuyan. Lei Hu was worried that this guy would do irrational things because he vented his dissatisfaction, so he rudely suppressed his arrogance when they met, and also called this guy.
Let's vent our frustrations.
After venting his depressed emotions, he naturally had to go to Jiangdong to work honestly. Lu Miaozi probably wouldn't refuse, otherwise he wouldn't have helped Yang Su in the first place.
…
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Lei Hu said amusedly: "Lu Miaozi, you should be able to make a repeating crossbow that relies on horses, right?"
Lu Miaozi groaned and said angrily: "There are no such good materials in the ranch!"
"You guys are really stubborn. To deal with a mob like the Four Bandits, do you need a sophisticated military serial crossbow?"
Lei Hu sneered and said: "As long as it can shoot bamboo arrows and wooden arrows, and can exert its wounding power within thirty to fifty steps, if there are several such repeating crossbows placed on the tower, no matter how many there are, they will not be enough to kill the bandits."
of!"
As soon as these words came out, Shang Xiuxun's beautiful little face was full of shock and regret.
Lu Miaozi was speechless for a long time. Only then did he realize that he had entered a misunderstanding. To deal with rogue bandits such as the Four Bandits, there was no need for sophisticated weapons, and they did not have enough defensive armor.
"How's it going? You have nothing to say?"
Lei Hu said calmly: "With your stupid brain, you should honestly design a mechanism for me to speed up earth excavation and transportation. Staying at Pegasus Ranch is a waste of food!"
Lu Miaozi's face turned red and white, but he had nothing to say. This was his mistake. He looked at his daughter Shang Xiuxun with guilt in his eyes.
He knew that the ranch suffered heavy losses during the period when it was besieged by the four major bandits. This was all the strength accumulated by his daughter's family for many years, but it was wasted because of his poor consideration.
Shang Xiuxun didn't blame Lu Miaozi too much. If Wu Guogong hadn't reminded him, who would have known that Lu Miaozi, who was living in seclusion in the pasture, could play such a big role?
She was a little worried now. If Wu Guogong's words reached the ears of the ranch's senior officials, there would be no possibility for Lu Miaozi to stay, and she felt regret and sadness in her heart.
Why……
The atmosphere in the main hall was a bit dull. After a long time, Lu Miaozi let out a long sigh, looked at Lei Hu and said directly: "Mr. Wu, I agree to go to Jiangdong, but I still have one condition!"
"What conditions?"
Lei Hu said calmly: "As long as it's not too much, I agree!"
"I hope Mr. Wu can accept Xiu Xun!"
Lu Miaozi let out a long sigh, looked at her daughter with eyes full of depression and affection, and made a request that was both surprising and reasonable.
Lei Hu's expression was calm and not strange at all. This was just a trivial matter to him. Besides, it was not a bad thing to have a career-oriented beauty like Shang Xiuxun in his house.
Shang Xiuxun opened his mouth in shock and instinctively wanted to object, but Lu Miaozi did not give her a chance and asked Lei Hu directly: "Mr. Wu, who is the Li boy you mentioned before?"
"It should be Li Tianfan, the son of Li Mi, the leader of Wagang Village!"
Lei Hu said calmly: "Pegasus Ranch is still very popular. Life in Wagang Village has not been easy recently. It is not difficult to understand Li Mi's idea of taking Pegasus Ranch!"
"Is this true?"
Before Lu Miaozi could continue to speak, Shang Xiuxun asked loudly with shock on his face: "Could it be that the four major bandits were created by Li Mi?"
"No one can tell!"
Lei Hu said with a smile: "The war horses at Pegasus Ranch are still very interesting. I don't know if there are orikins who want to take advantage of the fishermen!"
Shang Xiuxun fell into silence and did not speak for a long time. Just looking at her ugly expression and rapid breathing, he knew that her mood was not calm, and could even be said to be bad.
"In the guest house at the ranch, Li Xiuning, the boss, is also there!",
After a long time, she finally spoke with difficulty and revealed a piece of news that was surprising but not surprising.
"Hmph, wolfish ambition!"
Lu Miaozi snorted and said disdainfully: "Don't Li clan have a source of horses with the Turks on their back? They just want to cut off the source of horses for the heroes north of the Yellow River. It seems that even if the four major bandits have nothing to do with them, they should have heard about it.
,otherwise An would have come by such a coincidence?"
These words directly hit the point. Obviously Lu Miaozi was not ignorant of the outside world.
