Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 534 Mr. Chai, please check your master-disciple rice bowl

Song Shidao shook his head and sighed heavily.

What do you mean?
Apparently, there was trouble at the west stable as well.

In other words, nearly 10,000 war horses domesticated in the Pegasus Ranch area are probably dead.

Overnight.

How come overnight?
Song Yuzhi recalled the noise he heard last night. He stamped his feet in hatred, raised his hands, clenched them into fists, bit his lips and blamed himself: "Why did I sleep so soundly last night? Why did I drink so much? If I was sober, this wouldn't have happened."

Li Shimin asked: "Yuzhi, did you hear something?"

Li Xiuning also analyzed: "It is impossible for so many war horses to die suddenly overnight. Judging from the situation, someone must have poisoned them."

"Hey, what's going on? Why are all the horses at the Pegasus Ranch falling down?"

Just as several people were speculating about the current situation, a green horse came riding in, and the man on the horse was dressed in a green shirt, neatly dressed, with a sword in his left hand, a pot of wine in his right hand, and a mask wrapped around his wrist to block the wind and sand. To call him a scholar, he didn't look weak enough, and to call him a young master, he didn't look a dandy enough.

"How did you get in?"

Song Yuzhi was like a little female cat whose tail was stepped on, her brain was filled with blood and she looked around with anger.

“That’s how I walked in.”

Li Xiuning looked into the distance and found that the guards and workers of Pegasus Ranch had gone to count the losses and investigate the situation. There was no one guarding the surroundings, so it was understandable that Chai Shao could enter the heart of the ranch as if there was no one there.

"It's you. It must be you."

Song Yuzhi walked to the nearby watchtower, pulled out the long sword hanging on the hook, pointed it at Chu Pingsheng's face and said, "After you left yesterday, all the war horses of Sister Xiuxun's family died in just one night. It must be you, a despicable villain, who did it."

When Song Shidao and Li Shimin heard this, their faces turned gloomy and they looked at Chu Pingsheng with murderous intent, as if they were ready to arrest him if they disagreed with him.

"You said I killed the horses at Pegasus Ranch, Song Yuzhi, you have the guts to produce evidence. How could a kid like me with mediocre martial arts skills kill nearly 10,000 war horses under the noses of the thousands of guards at Pegasus Ranch and masters like Shang Peng and Shang He? What else can a bitch like you do besides running wild?"

"Who are you calling a bitch?"

"You."

"I kill you."

Song Yuzhi came forward with a sword in hand, and Li Shimin quickly stopped her: "Yuzhi, don't be impulsive."

"What's wrong with me being impulsive? It's obviously him, it's him...Brother Shimin, don't stop me."

Song Yuzhi couldn't understand why Li Shimin stopped her.

"Brother...what are you standing there for? Why don't you kill him to avenge Sister Xiuxun."

Song Shidao just stood there, like a stick sticking there. Although his whole body was full of internal energy, his face was so tight as if he had had a facelift, and his eyes were narrowed into willow leaves, he did not do anything as he was told.

"elder brother!"

Song Shidao still did not move.

"Let me tell you why Li Shimin stopped you and why Song Shidao was indifferent." Chu Pingsheng laughed and looked down at the eldest lady of the Song family. "I came to Pegasus Ranch to purchase horses on the orders of the Empress Dowager, and many people in the court know it. Whether it is the two sects of the Demon Sect and the Six Paths, or the righteous path headed by Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen Temple, they all follow an unspoken rule and do not actively participate in the battle between forces. I am a military minister who came here to discuss business in an orderly manner, and I am also a meritorious official who escorted the Empress Dowager back to Luoyang. I am bullied by you like this. How can the court save its face? Since you know the situation of the Chai family in Luoyang, you must have heard the news that Senior Feng came out to protect the Empress Dowager. If he is so powerful, he will travel around and specialize in sniping the young men of the Li and Song families. I am afraid that he will kill your Li and Song families to the end, right?"

"So Miss Song, move here before you speak next time." Chu Pingsheng pointed to his head: "Otherwise, you will give people the impression that you are not only cheap, but also stupid."

"Chai Shao, I'm not done with you!"

Song Yuzhi was certain that even if the horses at Pegasus Ranch were not poisoned to death by Chai Shao, it must have been due to him.

"Don't worry, your Song family and I... both publicly and privately, will have a life-and-death battle. By then..." Chu Pingsheng met Master Song's cold gaze and said, "I will kill everyone in your Song family, even those who are even slightly related to me, and not a single one will be spared."

This is not a harsh statement. Now the Dao Heart Planting Demon Technique has not been perfected yet. Once it is mastered, it will be time to exterminate the Song family.

Li Xiuning could also tell that this was not a harsh remark, he really intended to do this.

Yu Gong was an enemy of the Song family, and he knew why. The Chai father and son were loyal ministers of the dynasty, while Song Que was a rebel. It was normal for the entire family to be executed after the rebellion failed.

Personally?

She couldn't understand what kind of personal grudge Chai Shao had with the Song family. Was it just because Song Yuzhi always scolded him? Then he was too petty.

Song Shidao reached down and realized that he had left in such a hurry that he didn't bring his knife with him. Shang Xiuxun stood up and said, "Get out of here, right now, get out of Pegasus Ranch!"

Chu Pingsheng glanced at her and said calmly, "Pegasus Ranch has ended up like this today. You deserve it. I wanted to save your father's life, but now it seems that's not necessary."

He didn't move, but the black horse under him turned around and walked towards the entrance as if it had received an order.

Just as Song Yuzhi said, he was indeed the one who poisoned these horses, but Shang Xiuxun and his group had no evidence. Before coming to Pegasus Ranch, he thought that as long as Shang Xiuxun behaved properly and acted like a qualified businessman, there was no need to be enemies with her and Lu Miaozi. But this idiot was fooled by Song Shidao's sweet words and was in a hurry to take sides instead of doing business. Since she chose to stand against him, don't blame him for playing dirty.

Whizzing.

The rustle of sleeves was heard, and two old men with cold eyes and gray hair appeared beside Shang Xiuxun: "Master, do you want to..."

The old man on the left made a chopping motion with his hand, which was very clear. He suggested that Chu Pingsheng wait until he left Pegasus Ranch and then pretend to be a bandit and kill people. Would the court be able to retaliate against Pegasus Ranch then? You know, there are many bandits nearby, including the four major bandits Xiang, Fang, Mao, and Cao, Zhu Can in the north, and Xiao Xian in the south.

"Okay, do it covertly so that no one will know that it was us who did it."

Shang Xiuxun, as the owner of Pegasus Ranch, has over ten thousand elite cavalry under his command. He resists Zhu Can in the north, Du Fuwei in the east, and Xiao Xin in the south. Naturally, he is not a timid person. On the contrary, he is very decisive in doing things.

Although there was no evidence and she didn't know how nearly ten thousand horses were poisoned to death, she had the same idea as Song Yuzhi, and that Chai Shao was the most likely suspect.

"Do not worry."

Just as Shang Peng and Shang He were about to kill someone, they heard hurried footsteps behind them. Xu Ziling ran out quickly: "Mr. Lu... the people from the Yin Gui Sect are here."

Shang Xiuxun, Shang Peng and Shang He looked at each other, and without caring about ambushing Chai Shao on the way, they hurried towards the secret passage.

Li Shimin, Song Shidao and others all set out to follow.

……

After half a stick of incense.

In the valley just halfway across the mountain from Pegasus Ranch, several thatched cottages stand by the pond, with a small bridge and a waterwheel in front, flower fields, plum trees, bonsai lamp stands...all these are arranged very strangely in the open space at the entrance of the valley. There are also several patterns on the nearby stone platform that echo the stars in the sky, which seem to be the same as the peach forest on Peach Blossom Island, and have a confusing effect on the eyes.

However, at this moment, the foundations of the formations were completely destroyed, and three people were standing in front of the hut, two women and one man.

The man was wearing a brocade robe, with short hair draped over his shoulders, narrow eyes, and a lewd smile on his lips. He was none other than Mo Yin Bian Bufu, who once occupied Wei Yu Manor and almost slept with his own daughter.

Of the two women, the one on the right was holding a ribbon in her hand and had bare feet like white lotuses. She was standing on a palm-sized boulder. She was the witch, Kanan, who until now no one knew who had taken her virginity.

The one on the left looks somewhat like Kankan, but seems to be a few years older. She is full of youthfulness, with flawless white skin, eyes as black as ink, and eyebrows as long as her temples. Her face, figure and temperament are all perfect.

There are several people standing under the eaves of the thatched cottage opposite. The one in the middle is wearing a tall hat and a wide belt, with an ancient face and a body like an old pine. Behind her on the left is the holy lady Master Feixuan of Cihang Jingzhai, who has taken off her veil to reveal a face as icy as cold jade and as pure as a fairy who has descended to the earth. She is untainted by the worldly dust and will not tolerate blasphemy by mortals. Next to her is the monk Lekong, who smiles at her even when facing a powerful enemy.

Kou Zhong stood on the right, holding a rusty scimitar in his hand, which was the Yue in the Well given to him by Lu Miaozi.

The old man standing in the middle is Lu Miaozi, who is well-versed in ancient and modern times, and is proficient in battle array, astrology, medicine, mechanical devices, architecture...

"Mr. Lu, you said she is the Queen of Yin, Zhu Yuyan? If you calculate her age, Zhu Yuyan is at least in her sixties or seventies. How come her face, skin, and condition make her only in her twenties? I'm afraid no one will object to saying she is the sister of Qianqian."

Lu Miaozi glanced at him and uttered in a nasal voice: "Humph, what do you know? Zhu Yuyan is practicing the most essential Heavenly Demonic Technique in the Heavenly Demon Strategy, which has the miraculous effect of preserving youth. As long as she does not lose her power and her state of mind is not affected, she will remain young until she dies."

"Wow, is the Heavenly Demonic Technique so magical?"

"You and Xu Ziling practiced the same immortality technique."

Kou Zhong thought that if he practiced the Changsheng Jue too much, he would not be able to have children. Was it the same with the Tianmo Dafa? However, he thought about it but did not say it out loud.

"Lu Miaozi, let me ask you again, where did you hide Shi Zhixuan?"

At this time, Zhu Yuyan gently swung the ribbon around her wrist, pointed at Lu Miaozi and asked.

"Yuyan, I haven't seen you for many years, you are still as beautiful as ever."

Why did Lu Miaozi live in seclusion near Pegasus Ranch and dig a secret passage leading directly to Shang Xiuxun's residence? The answer is simple. Lu Miaozi liked Zhu Yuyan and once abandoned his wife and daughter for her. However, Zhu Yuyan fell deeply in love with Shi Zhixuan and ignored him completely.

Lu Miaozi could only go back to find his wife and daughter in disappointment, only to discover that his wife was dead. His daughter hated him for what he had done and refused to recognize him as her father. It was not until Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and others came to Pegasus Ranch and joined forces with Song Shidao to speak well of Lu Miaozi. With the help of Li Shimin, the most bewitching guy, Shang Xiuxun finally changed her mind and recognized her as her father.

Now that the goddess has come to his house, even if she destroys all his formations, even if it is to make him reveal the whereabouts of his love rival Shi Zhixuan, he cannot be angry.
