The election of emperor in Luoyang spread throughout the world in a very short period of time.
For a time, all parties took notice and took action.
For the princes of the world, the imperial seal is a symbol of the world's orthodoxy. Whoever can obtain it will have the honor of being orthodox.
For warriors in the world, the Imperial Seal is a strange stone from the fairy world. If it can be used for cultivation, it can achieve various magical effects.
Back then, Ning Daoqi borrowed the Imperial Seal from Cihang Jingzhai for three years.
So for a time, countless people rushed to Luoyang.
Even Bi Xuan, the martial master from outside the fortress, and Cai Lin, the master of Yijian from Goguryeo, also set out to come.
Song Que, the Heavenly Sword who had lived in the Sharpening Hall for a long time, therefore left the Lingnan mountain city and came to Luoyang.
For the people of the world, the election of emperor in Luoyang is destined to be a prosperous event that cannot be seen in a century.
However, amid the chaos in the world, Li Yizhi had already arrived at Pegasus Ranch.
He used his supernatural powers to travel hundreds of miles in just one day.
When entering the Pegasus Ranch, Li Yizhi did not identify himself, but used a pseudonym. The purpose was to purchase war horses for the imperial court.
When Luo Tong attacked Jingling, Pegasus Ranch sent troops to assist because it was an ally with Duba Villa.
However, due to Li Yizhi's special instructions, Luo Tong did not continue to attack Pegasus Ranch after the incident, which allowed Pegasus Ranch to survive.
However, although Pegasus Ranch was preserved, the private army of Pegasus Ranch was forcibly disbanded and the city wall was demolished. From now on, Pegasus Ranch will just be a ranch.
Although Li Yizhi only used a pseudonym, he was still respectfully welcomed in by the people at Pegasus Ranch, and personally greeted by Archdeacon Liang Ye.
"Prince Li is here in person this time. Do you know how many war horses you want to buy?"
Liang Ye asked tentatively. If Li Yizhi hadn't produced the official seal and court documents, he would have suspected that the other party was a fake.
After all, the servant is one of the nine ministers of the imperial court and is in charge of the imperial affairs.
It's really suspicious that someone with such a prominent identity comes alone without even a bodyguard.
Of course, the more critical thing is that Li Yizhi is too young, which makes people suspicious.
Li Yizhi smiled slightly and said, "I wonder how many war horses are available for sale in your Pegasus Ranch?"
Buying war horses was just an excuse for Li Yizhi. Of course, now he really needed to replenish a large number of war horses.
Next, he would launch a war of unification, and he would also have to guard against Turkic invasion in the future, so it was imminent to form a large-scale cavalry.
Liang Ye said: "About 100,000 horses."
"I want all 100,000 horses, and in the next two years, as many war horses as you have, you can contact the court as soon as possible and we will take over them all," Li Yizhi said.
Liang Ye was overjoyed, but then he was a little worried and said: "Your Majesty, don't you know the price and settlement...?"
Li Yizhi said calmly: "The price will be based on the market price. As for the settlement, how you settled the bill in the past will be the same in the future. Anyway, the court will not treat you badly."
With the expansion of territory and the promotion of new coins, the imperial court's finances were very wealthy.
There is no problem in purchasing one hundred thousand war horses.
Liang Ye bowed and nodded repeatedly, and said with his right hand, "Your Majesty, our host has already hosted a banquet in the living room and is waiting for you. Please come in quickly."
Stepping into the living room, Li Yizhi met Shang Xiuxun, the owner of Pegasus Ranch, a beautiful and fragrant woman.
Shang Xiuxun is wearing a lavender outfit and has a tall figure. A jade belt is tied around her waist, which shows her curvy and graceful figure. Especially her pair of straight long legs are even more eye-catching.
Compared with other women, Shang Xiuxun's skin is slightly bronzed, but it shows a different kind of youthful atmosphere.
Her facial features are exquisite and no flaws can be seen; her beautiful eyes are pure and deep, under the thick eyelashes, giving people a sense of mystery.
Shang Xiuxun came forward to greet him and bowed his hands in a heroic manner.
She said in a clear and melodious voice: "Prince Li is here in person. Xiu Xun is not able to greet her from afar in person. I hope Haihan can come in and invite her."
Li Yizhi smiled slightly and said: "The mall owner is very polite, please."
After entering the living room, both parties sat down.
After that, there was a very official conversation. Naturally, Shang Xiuxun fully agreed with Li Yi's large order.
Since Luo Tong led his army to capture Jingling, he has issued a notice to Pegasus Ranch. From now on, the war horses of Pegasus Ranch can only be sold to the imperial court, otherwise they will be punished for treason.
Therefore, Shang Xiuxun had actually been worried that the imperial court would lower the price and exploit Pegasus Ranch.
Now that Li Yizhi had proposed to buy it at the market price and get as much as he wanted within two years, she was naturally relieved.
Of course, Shang Xiuxun would not really pay according to the market price, it would definitely have to be lower, otherwise she would not know how to advance or retreat.
After the banquet, Li Yizhi was arranged to stay.
After all, this is a big business involving 100,000 war horses, and he will definitely need to conduct preliminary inspections in the next period of time.
At night, Li Yizhi came to the back hill of the castle.
Passing through bamboo forests and waterfalls, and passing through a mountain forest, he finally came to a platform on a cliff, with a two-story building built on it, and the situation was dangerous.
This is Lu Miaozi's residence. There are still lights on the second floor at this time, indicating that he has not rested yet.
"Since the distinguished guest is here, why not come up and meet him?"
At this time, an old male voice came from upstairs.
Li Yizhi approached the small building and saw the three simple characters "comfortable home" engraved on the plaque on the main door, which actually gave people a sense of peace and tranquility.
After walking through the main door, you can see a couplet hanging on the two beams at the entrance, written on a wooden sign.
"It's better to tune the harp in the morning, and play the harp in the evening; the old rain comes at the right time, and the new rain comes at the beginning."
The font is elegant, vigorous and powerful.
After entering the small building, Li Yizhi climbed up the stairs and reached the second floor.
The second floor is divided into two rooms, the inside and outside, by a screen. The outside room is obviously the living room, with a round table, square chairs, and some other furniture. It has a quaint atmosphere under the light of two hanging palace lanterns.
An Eguan Bodai old man was standing in front of the window looking into the distance. He only looked at his back, giving him the aura of looking up from a high mountain.
Li Yizhi smiled slightly, bowed his hands and said, "Junior came here uninvited. I hope I didn't disturb my senior."
"Oh, it seems you made a special trip to find me!"
At this time, Lu Miaozi turned around, with a look of curiosity in his eyes, and said: "I don't know, I have been living in seclusion here for thirty years, but someone has found me here. Who are you, and how do you know
here?"
Li Yizhi did not answer, but said: "I have friends coming from far away, why don't you invite me to drink a glass of your Liuguo Liquid first? It's a long night, so we naturally have time to talk for a long time."
Lu Miaozi slowly let go of his vigilance. He smiled heartily and said, "I'm sorry, little brother, please sit down."
The two soon sat opposite each other.
Li Yizhi watched Lu Miaozi pour two glasses of Liuguo liquid, and an intoxicating aroma of wine soon filled the entire second floor.
He picked up a glass and drank it slowly. The fruit juice went into his throat. The wine tasted mellow, soft and refreshing. The most rare thing was that the aroma was rich and harmonious, making people have a long aftertaste.
Lu Miaozi looked at Li Yizhi closing his eyes and reminiscing, and said happily: "This wine is made from six kinds of fresh fruits: pomegranate, grape, orange, slag, green plum and pineapple. After selecting the fruits, washing and bleaching,
, crushing, core discarding, maceration, juice extraction, fermentation, blending, filtration, and alcoholization processes, and then put into wooden barrels for underground aging for three years. It tastes good!"
Li Yizhi opened his eyes and praised: "It is indeed a rare and peerless wine. I have drunk a lot of good wines, but there are few that can compare with this."
Lu Miaozi smiled, and then asked: "I've drank this wine, so you should tell me about your origin and purpose."
