Chapter three hundred and sixty-eight birds and fish

After the battle with Li Jing, Murphy entered his military camp and had a heart-to-heart talk.

But it was obvious that Mo Fei had nothing to say to this bad old man. Apart from leaving a pile of books containing novel ideas, he took Bai Qing'er and Shi Fei Xuan and drifted away.

Then……

Mo Feidu entered the Pegasus Ranch.

I have no other intention, I just want to thank Shang Xiuxun for providing the Jingling Army with more than 30,000 excellent war horses at a super low price.

Even though Kouzhong has gradually climbed up the technology tree and manufactured weapons, cavalry is still a very important unit in war.

I didn’t see that during the eight years of the War of Resistance, cavalry still often appeared in the confrontation between our army and the Japanese.

Therefore, Shang Xiuxun provided Li Jing with large quantities of war horses at a super low price. Not only was it a matter of price, but it also had strong strategic value. It was worthy of Mo Fei's personal visit to express his gratitude.

Visiting Pegasus Ranch again, Murphy had to admire the magnificent scenery of Pegasus Ranch.

No matter from any angle, the end of the grassland is filled with undulating mountains that extend endlessly.

In this fairyland-like paradise, various types of livestock are densely populated - white sheep, yellow or gray cattle, and horses of various colors, enjoying their own leisure and rest, making the entire farm and pasture more colorful.

On the higher ground in the northwest corner is the castle of Pegasus Ranch. It is backed by a cliff as steep as a wall and faces a winding river in front of it, making it even more spectacular.

The person who came to greet Murphy was an old acquaintance, Liu Zongdao, the second steward of Pegasus Ranch.

Along the way, the two parties talked and laughed. After entering the farm and pasture, they got back on their horses and rode towards the Pegasus Castle on the gravel road.

Different types of livestock are separated by wooden fences. Herdsmen gallop back and forth between the wooden fences, shouting and shouting, while farmers work silently in the fields. The cattle bray from time to time, blending in with the neighing of horses and sheep.

After entering the city, there is a spacious ramp that extends upwards, leading directly to the inner castle where the highest owner lives. There are continuous houses on both sides, connected by branch roads to the ramp, giving it the characteristics of a mountain city.

People and cars are coming and going on the road, making it look like a prosperous big city, and children are playing in groups.

The buildings are all rough and simple, built with stones and magnificent in shape. There are many bell pavilions, archways and gates along the way, and they are simple and unpretentious, showing the heroic spirit of the builders of the city.

The inner fort is even more grand in scale. The main building has a five-story pavilion and a side corridor. The large and small buildings are arranged in an orderly manner inside the fort, decorated with gardens, flowers and trees, small bridges and waterfalls, making it elegant and pleasant.

While Mo Fei, Liu Zongdao and others were walking leisurely on the road, they suddenly heard the sound of thundering horse hooves coming from ahead.

Shang Xiuxun's beautiful face first came into view.

Approaching Mo Fei and several others, Shang Xiuxun tightened the reins, clamped his legs tightly on the horse's belly, and moved cleanly.

With only two horses separated, Mo Fei smiled softly and said, "Xiu Xun, long time no see."

"Yes." Shang Xiuxun's beautiful eyes also flashed with a hint of surprise, but she concealed it well and said in a light tone: "I was training a BMW that just came from the Western Regions. I didn't expect to hear them say

If you come to visit me, I will come to see you."

"I won't disturb you, right?" Murphy said.

"No!" Shang Xiuxun shook his head slightly and said: "Training horses is not a matter of urgency. It can be done a few days later!"

"Actually, I'm also curious about horse training. Why don't you, Xiuxun, take me to the horse racing stable to find out and satisfy my curiosity?" Murphy said with a smile.

Shang Xiuxun thought for a while and said, "Okay!"

Horse training is not a big secret. For someone like Shang Xiuxun who grew up on a horse farm, it is quite interesting.

As a result, Mo Fei, the guest, did not follow the road and went to meet Feng Xichen. Instead, he followed Shang Xiuxun and headed towards the horse farm of Pegasus Ranch.

The other people at Pegasus Ranch were also very discerning and automatically fell a few places behind Mo Fei and Shang Xiuxun, letting Mo Fei and Shang Xiuxun go with them.

In fact, Shang Xiuxun is not young now, and she is already an older woman in her third year.

During the Sui Dynasty, it was very common for people to get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen. For example, Li Shimin's wife, Changsun Wugu, married Li Shimin when she was about thirteen or fourteen years old.

At her current age, Shang Xiuxun can be called a leftover woman.

Therefore, there are many things that you should be anxious about.

Otherwise, are we going to let the merchants have direct ties in the future?

Shang Xiuxun is quite capable. She received the Pegasus Ranch from her mother Shang Qingya when she was a girl. Now, under her operation, the Pegasus Ranch has flourished and its wealth accumulation has risen by at least three or four levels.

After all, Shang Xiuxun's good genes roughly determine her IQ and QQ, no matter how different they are.

His father, Lu Miaozi, is the smartest person in the world, and his mother, Shang Qingya, is a person who impressed Lu Miaozi in many aspects such as playing chess, Huizhi Lanxin.

The people in Pegasus Ranch are generally wealthy and no longer suffer from hunger and cold. And because the Jingling Army led by Li Jing blocks Pegasus Ranch, there is no harm from the war. Naturally, the elders have to consider the issue of the successor to Pegasus Ranch.

Already.

"I came here mainly to thank you, Xiuxun." Mo Fei raised a gentle smile on his lips and said, "Providing the Jingling Army's high-quality war horses at a low price cost you a lot, right?"

"It's all about helping each other." Shang Xiuxun did not take credit, but smiled lightly: "Pegasus Ranch has accumulated wealth for hundreds of years, but it is not strong enough to completely protect this wealth, so we and the Jingling Army

Trading is just buying peace with money."

"Xiuxun, what you are saying... is not what a businessman would say." Murphy blinked and said, "I don't believe, Xiuxun, you have been running such a large Pegasus ranch for so many years, and you can't even say nice things to your partners.

will not say."

It's not a good idea to pretend to be cold in front of him, because he can easily see through a person's mood swings.

Regarding his arrival...well, how should I put it, Shang Xiuxun was generally very happy, maybe there were just some flaws in the details.

Shang Xiuxun glanced at Mo Fei lightly with his beautiful eyes, but did not respond to Mo Fei's words, but said: "I heard that you are like an emperor in Yang Guang's Jiangdu Palace. How about it? Is it fun?

"

"It's not fun!" Murphy shook his head and said.

"Why?" Shang Xiuxun said, "That's Yang Guang's palace, the most luxurious and magnificent place in the world. It's not fun, so what else is fun?"

Murphy sighed and said: "Everything there is made of gold, even the boats are made of gold. It makes me feel uncomfortable when I sleep! I have never had a peaceful sleep since I arrived there.

"

Shang Xiuxun: "..."

"This joke is not funny at all." Shang Xiuxun rolled his eyes at Mo Fei.

"Isn't it funny? I think it's funny!" Mo Fei said, "How about I tell you something funny again, Xiuxun?"

Hey, women nowadays are really hard to take care of. They obviously want to laugh, but they hold it back.

If it weren't for my demonic presence, how could I understand your thoughts?

A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea, it's true.

"Forget it!" Shang Xiuxun said angrily, "I'm not interested in your boring jokes."

If he really made him laugh for a while, how could she maintain her majesty as the owner of the field?

Next, Shang Xiuxun chased Murphy and asked what happened since he left Pegasus Ranch.

Mo Fei, of course, used Qiu's brushwork to tell Shang Xiuxun the new things along the way vividly.

While talking, the two of them also arrived at the racecourse.

As soon as I saw it, I saw an extremely beautiful horse.

There was also a young man from the Pegasus Ranch riding on its back. The horse struggled desperately, its head raised high, trying to throw the person on its back off the horse.

The young man hugged the horse's neck tightly, clamped his legs tightly on the horse's belly, and endured the horse's swing.

Seeing that it failed, the horse rolled on the spot...

"What kind of horse is that? It looks very different from ordinary horses!" Murphy asked curiously.

"Sweat-blooded BMW!" Shang Xiuxun said leisurely.

"A bloody horse?" Mo Fei said in shock.

Even if he is not a good equestrian, he must have heard of the name of the sweaty horse!

The Sweat Horse is produced in the Ahal Oasis between the Kopet Mountains and the Karakum Desert in Turkmenistan. It is one of the oldest horse breeds in the world that has been cultivated for more than 3,000 years.

It is usually about 1.5 meters tall, with a plump and graceful body, a thin head and a tall neck, slender limbs, thin skin and fine hair, a light and elegant pace, and a slender and graceful body, which is complemented by a high and curved neck, outlining its perfect curves.

The name of the Sweat Horse is not, of course, because it actually retains blood, but because its skin is thin. When running, the blood flowing in the blood vessels is easily visible. In addition, the horse's shoulders and neck

With well-developed sweat glands, horses tend to get wet first and then get wet when they sweat. For horses with maroon or chestnut coats, the local color will appear brighter after sweating, giving people the illusion of "bleeding".

"I spent a lot of money to buy this from Hu Shang." Shang Xiuxun couldn't help but have a proud smile on his face, and said: "I guess he only asked for a high price after seeing this handsome horse.

Instead of knowing its true details, I might not be able to buy this horse even if I pay ten times the price."

Ever since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made an expedition to Dawan, no one in China knows the name of the Bloody Horse.

Regardless of its actual value or just its reputation, it can be sold at a very high price.

Speaking of this, Shang Xiuxun showed some regret on his face and said, "This horse's cock is too strong. Even I can't tame it."

Murphy laughed and said, "I'll teach you how to tame this horse."

"You?" Shang Xiuxun looked at Murphy suspiciously.

Murphy chuckled and said, "Prepare three things, a steel whip, a hammer, and a dagger."

"What's the use?"

Murphy said with a smile: "A horse lives to be ridden. If it doesn't let you ride, whip it with a whip. If it doesn't obey, hit its head with a hammer. If it doesn't obey, just kill it with a dagger."

it!"

Shang Xiuxun was stunned.

"Don't begrudge the value of the sweat-blooded BMW and don't dare to hurt it, otherwise you will never be able to subdue it in this life!" Mo Fei said calmly: "Only with a desperate spirit can you have the chance to subdue a sweat-blooded BMW.

Only a thousand-mile horse is worthy of it."

"It just depends on how you choose."

For Shang Xiuxun, even if no one can subdue a precious treasure like the Sweat-blooded BMW and leave it to become Alexandre Dumas, it will still be of great benefit to Pegasus Ranch.

Her fixed mindset restrained her, and she never thought about subduing the sweaty horse in the most decisive way.

After listening to Murphy's words, Shang Xiuxun hesitated.

But how could a woman like her, who runs a racecourse, not be eager to conquer a thousand-mile horse like a bloody horse?

After hesitating for a while, Shang Xiuxun finally made up his mind, gritted his silver teeth, and asked someone to prepare a steel whip, hammer, and dagger.

Then I saw her with a hammer and dagger stuck in her waist and a steel whip in her hand, and she boldly approached the bloody horse.

When the sweaty horse saw people coming again, it snorted and kicked up its hooves frequently to keep people away.

Shang Xiuxun raised his steel whip, slapped, whipped the strong horse several times, without leaving any trace, and took advantage of the horse's pain to ride on it.

When the fierce horse saw someone on board, it repeated its old trick, jumping and jumping vigorously, trying to throw the person off.

Shang Xiuxun grabbed the horse's neck hair tightly, raised his hammer and hit the horse's head with a sharp blow. The powerful horse was struck by the hammer and suddenly neighed sadly.

In the end, under the coercion of Shang Xiuxun's dagger, the sweaty BMW, feeling the crisis of life and death, still surrendered obediently.

Looking at Shang Xiuxun, who was riding a sweaty horse on the grassland and laughing heartily, Mo Fei pursed his lips and smiled.



Thanks to Murphy's help in subduing the sweaty horse, Shang Xiuxun finally stopped looking so arrogant in front of Murphy and started to smile towards him.

And Alexandre Dumas Fei naturally would not miss this good opportunity, and the relationship between the two quickly heated up.

But as far as Murphy's experience is concerned, there is still a little gap between the two.

Therefore, after staying at Pegasus Ranch for five or six days, Murphy set off again, leaving Pegasus Ranch and preparing to go to Kou Zhong's young commander's army to check the situation.

Before Mo Fei left, he wrote a letter to Shang Xiuxun.

Standing on the high wall cast by Pegasus Ranch, Shang Xiuxun was full of heroic spirit, with a pretty face with soft lines, bright red and soft cherry-red lips, a beautiful nose, and a beautiful chin.

Charming atmosphere.

The eyebrows are raised, the cheeks are fresh, the nose is greasy, the cherry lips are slightly opened, the teeth are exposed, the black hair is draped behind the shoulders, the watery and shining eyes are shining with the light of wisdom, and glowing with purity and nobility.

Elegant temperament.

After looking at Mo Fei's retreating figure, even with Shang Xiuxun's gracefulness, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

After taking a deep breath to calm down, Shang Xiuxun opened the letter from Murphy to her.

[The farthest distance in the world is not life and death, but that I am standing in front of you, but you don’t know me or you.]

[The farthest distance in the world is not that I am standing in front of you but you don’t know me and you, but that I am obsessed with you but can’t say you.]

[The furthest distance in the world is not that I can’t talk to you, but that I miss you so much that I can only bury it deep in my heart.]

[The furthest distance in the world is not that I can’t say I miss you, but that we love each other but can’t be together.]

[The farthest distance in the world is not that we love each other but cannot be together, but that we know we are invincible but pretend not to care.]

[So the farthest distance in the world is not the distance between trees, but the branches growing from the same root but unable to depend on each other in the wind.]

[The farthest distance in the world is not that the branches cannot rely on each other, but that the stars look at each other but have no intersection. 】

[The farthest distance in the world is not that the trajectories of stars do not intersect, but that even if their trajectories intersect, they are nowhere to be found in the blink of an eye.]

[The farthest distance in the world is not that we can’t find each other in an instant, but that we are destined not to be together before we meet.]

[The farthest distance in the world is the distance between fish and birds. One is soaring in the sky, while the other is diving deep into the sea...]
