Chapter 330
Shen Mu sat down dejectedly, held his head and said, "Xiao Ling! You can teach me! If this woman is captured by barbarians or eaten by wild beasts, will our conscience be at ease?"

Xu Ziling took a deep breath and said, "She's probably a weak woman who doesn't understand martial arts at all, or else she's so good at martial arts that we wouldn't even be able to detect the weird true energy in her body. Sigh! I don't know how to deal with her. "

Shen Mu thought about it: "According to the logic, this should not be a trap set for us, because how does she know that we will rescue her?"

Xu Ziling pondered: "But why do we always feel inappropriate?"

Shen Mu stood up and said decisively: "Let's go back and have a look."

The mysterious and charming beauty was still lying quietly on the grass. At this time, the dark clouds had passed and the sky was full of stars, and her beauty was even more mysterious and charming.

There were bursts of howling wolves in the distance. I don't know if they came together because they smelled the bloody smell on the battlefield.

Shen Mu stared at her and said softly: "Looking at her appearance, she should never be over 20 years old. These wild animals will be eaten by wolves if thrown here. Let's take her out of here first."

Shen Mu rode with a barbarian beauty. Although the surroundings were full of wildness, with mist floating and lush forests, it was picturesque and beautiful, but the two of them had no intention of watching it with this spiritual burden on their backs.

At dusk, they walked for more than ten miles, looking at places suitable for camping while walking.

At this time, it was only six or seven miles away from Baizhang Gorge, but because we wanted to avoid the battlefield last night, we took a detour, which increased the distance by seven or eight miles. No matter what, we will not be able to reach Baizhang Gorge tonight, and it is not advisable to risk it at night. gorge.

The routes they took were all desolate mountains and fields, with desolate terrain, overgrown with weeds, and no human habitation.

At last they rested in a plain.

Under the half of the new moon, the thirteen knights were gradually approaching, and the visitor had obviously seen them and slowed down their horses.

The middle-aged man who took the lead was tall and strong, wearing black clothes, a red cape, and a thick black mustache on his upper lip.

What impresses them the most is that his face is rough and pitted, but the eyes embedded in the pockmarked face are shining like two small lanterns, making him exude a kind of radiance. A beast-like charm that is both terrifying and intimidating.

The people behind him were all dressed in black, of different heights, fat and thin, but they all exuded a fierce vigor.

Shen Mu moved closer to Xu Ziling's ear and said, "I'm afraid it's the owner of the villa who dominates the villa."

Xu Ziling nodded and said: "Speaking of which, we were still comrades in arms with him last night, so if we don't need to do anything, then we don't."

At this time, the people who dominated the villa stopped their horses about ten feet away from them, and they all dismounted, moving neatly and quickly.

The leader came out in front of the two, clasped his fists and said, "Fang Zetao, the master of the villa, I wonder if the two brothers Kou and Xu who have been famous all over the world in recent years?"

Seeing his polite manner, the two fell in love with him.

Shen Mu returned the courtesy and replied: "Master Fang is too praised."

Fang Zetao laughed and said, "A true hero is one who achieves ambition but is not arrogant."

Xu Ziling smiled and said, "Master Fang, please don't praise us. I wonder if the reason for your visit today is because we rescued the woman in yellow last night?"

Fang Zetao's eyes shot out enthusiasm and concern, and he asked humbly and politely: "I, Fang Zetao, will never forget the kindness of helping you two last night. May I ask you..."

At this moment, when Fang Zetao saw that the woman in Shen Mu's arms was that he was going to find Houhou, he quickly got off his horse and walked to the unconscious Houhou, and tremblingly said, "How is she?"

Shen Mu didn't expect this beauty to be Wanhou, but she was much more beautiful than the Wanhou on TV, and said, "What is the relationship between her and the owner?"

Fang Zetao turned his head and said to his subordinates: "You are responsible for keeping watch around, and you must wake up."

When his subordinates were ordered to disperse in all directions, Fang Zetao said kindly: "Shall we talk as we go?"

Both of them felt a little ridiculous about their previous suspicions. Fang Zetao said: "Wuhou's life experience is very pitiful. When Fang met her, her family's car and horse team was robbed by thieves. None of the family members were spared. Those little thieves were greedy. She is beautiful, I bumped into her by chance, killed all the thieves, and saved her back to the manor."

Shen Mu said: "Forgive me for my lack of knowledge, just look at Guizhuang's lineup last night, it is by no means an unknown person in the Jianghu, why have we never heard of Guizhuang's name?"

Fang Zetao replied: "It may be that we have not built the village for a short time. I was originally a general of the Sui Dynasty. I have occupied Jingling since King Hun was killed by Yu Huaji. Therefore, I established the Domineering Villa with my brothers who have followed me for many years, on the one hand, it can prevent thieves, and on the other hand, we can wait for the appearance of the Ming Lord, so that we can submit to his command and save Jingling from the disaster of war."

The two suddenly nodded.Xu Ziling said: "However, the word domination is very domineering. Isn't the owner afraid of being misunderstood?"

Fang Zetao laughed and said, "If you don't change your name to something more domineering, how can you suppress the thieves from all over the world. Now the rebels have formed a force, hundreds of them, looting and appease the running hooligans, among them Xiang, Fang, Mao, Cao four The big gangster is the most vicious and spreads all over the place."

Xu Ziling asked: "Has Master Fang married Miss Wanhou?"

Fang Zetao shook his head dejectedly and said: "This is what I want to say most every time I see her, but I dare not say it every time, for fear that she will flatly refuse or even walk away. She doesn't like to talk, she only likes someone Alone, her personality is elusive, but my admiration for her is growing day by day."

Everyone fell silent.Looking at this peerless beauty who looked like she was sleeping soundly, everyone imagined in their hearts the image of her softly speaking and smiling beauty.

At this moment, the force of the air pressure came to the top, and the tent burst.

About this matter, the man in white, about thirty years old, landed on the mule cart like a god, with an air of contempt for the world.

His eyes are slightly blue, and there seems to be a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth forever. The straight bridge of the nose and the corner of the resolute mouth form a sharp contrast, and the broad shoulders make people feel that he is like a mountain that cannot be attacked by the enemy. Easily knocked down.

He smiled slightly, his eyes fell on Houhou, put the shields behind his back, and exclaimed: "Such a stunning beauty, it is indeed the best in the world."

At this time, Fang Zetao rushed out from the other side of the car, together with the twelve subordinates who came in a hurry, plus Shen Mu and others, the momentum suddenly increased, but because they were afraid of him hurting Houhou, no one dared to attack him. hands on.

Shen Mu smiled and said, "Are you looking for that guy? These two gold medals are quite interesting."

Fang Zetao couldn't hold back his breath, and said sharply: "If you dare to hurt her, Uncle Zhang, you will never leave with your life."

Zhang Shumou suddenly had a strange peak and said: "Let me kill this girl first, so everyone can give it a go, how about it?"

Fang Zetao's expression changed and he shouted, "How dare you!"

But Shen Mu laughed loudly and said: "Good idea!" He jumped up, swung his sword and slashed at Uncle Mou.

With a sound of "Dang!", the golden shield in Zhang Shumou's hand was torn apart.

Uncle Chang threw it back like a kite with a broken string, with blood spurting from his mouth and disbelief in his eyes, he said secretly: "I didn't expect this person to be so powerful."

He retreated a distance of ten feet, a little ground, and disappeared into the sparse forest on the left.

When Shen Mu fell to the ground, Xu Ziling had just bounced off the ground and exchanged a triumphant smile.

At this matter, a woman with silver hair and white hair and wearing a golden robe suddenly appeared next to Houhou.This woman's outline is quite beautiful, but her face is so pale that she doesn't have the slightest vitality, her eyes are flashing with a strange and vicious stern light, she looks like a ghost who slipped out of the underworld to demand her life.

The silver-haired girl picked up Houhou, somersaulted, and landed on the green grass at the foot of the slope.Not far away, a small river flows by, and on the other side is a green and emerald green forest, which is even more deep and peaceful under the moonlight.

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling rushed to her one after another and confronted her.

The silver-haired Numu said expressionlessly: "Sure enough, it's a bit heavy."

Her voice was hoarse and low, making it uncomfortable to hear.

Shen Mu laughed and said, "Demon girl, name me."

The silver-haired girl said coldly without any expression: "I am the 'silver-haired witch' Danmei, one of the four charms under the suzerain. This girl is born with beauty and extraordinary talents, and is the most suitable for joining our sect. You two If you know the machine, roll as far as you can immediately, otherwise I will teach you to regret it."

Shen Mu smiled and said: "I don't believe you have the ability to teach us how to regret it, why don't you let this girl go and let me see what you have learned."

Danmei's eyes flickered sharply, and she shouted: "Go away! Otherwise, I will kill this girl first."

Xu Ziling, who had been sitting on the sidelines, said, "It's so funny! You just said that you wanted to recruit Wanhou on behalf of your suzerain, but now you say you want to kill Wanhou; it can be seen that you are talking nonsense. Stop talking nonsense, let me show you something powerful first. experience."

Shen Mu shouted loudly: "Good!"

As soon as the words fell, Shen Mu straightened his spine, and his demeanor suddenly became mighty and merciless. His pair of stars were as bright as cold stars, and he shot out an extremely cold and sharp light. His aura was solid and powerful. The strangest thing was that he seemed not afraid at all Danmei will use Houhou as a shield.

For the first time, Danmei's pale face revealed a look of astonishment, and she sternly said, "Do you not care about this woman's life?"

Shen Mu shouted violently: "Exactly."

The long sword struck out swiftly, turned into a Changhong, and what it took was the Houhou in Danmei Hengbao's hand.

As if Xu Ziling had known this beforehand, he folded his hands across his chest, with a relaxed expression, as if he was waiting for a good show.

Danmei's face finally changed slightly, and she flew backwards.

Shen Mu, however, refused to let her go, he was like a shadow, chasing after her like a meteor chasing the moon, Jing Zhongyue slashed down on her head, the movement was faster than lightning, and at the same time the sword wind was like a mountain, extremely fierce.

Danmei let out a cold snort, and threw the stunning beauty in her hand upwards, facing Shen Mu's sword. At the same time, she fell to the ground sharply and spun away.

In fact, Shen Mu seemed to be fierce in his sword skills, but in fact he left room for his moves. Seeing that the plan had succeeded, he quickly withdrew his sword, brushed his left palm on Houhou's body, and turned it backwards himself.

Not only did Danmei lose her vigor, but she had no intention of fighting again earlier, so she took advantage of the situation to scream and fled in a desperate situation, crossed the small river, and sank into the depths of the forest on the other side.

It seemed to be supported by a pair of invisible palms, and it slowly landed on the soft grass without any damage.

Houhou's hair cascaded in all directions like a waterfall, setting off her glamorous face under the moonlight, even an eminent monk who had practiced penance for many years would be moved by her.

Shen Mu and the two had rested overnight in the Douban Villa, and at this time Hou Hou had also woken up.Fang Zetao, the owner of the domineering villa, was overjoyed, but before he was happy for a long time, Houhou disappeared without a trace, and immediately frowning, he sent people to look around.

……

In the southwest of Jingling County, Zhangshui and Jushui, two tributaries of the Yangtze River, delineate a large area of ​​fertile plains in the shape of a triangle.

The climate here is mild, the soil is fertile, and the products are plentiful. Among them, the Pegasus Ranch is located in the wilderness, where the pastures are particularly rich. It is surrounded by mountains on all sides, enclosing more than ten square miles of fertile fields, and there are only two gorges in the east and west for entry and exit.The situation is critical, forming a natural screen for the ranch.

When Shen Mu and Xu Ziling came here, passed the mountain road, and came to the hillside overlooking the pasture, they saw that the fields under the mountain were like blankets of different sizes, forming beautiful patterns, and they couldn't help but feel relaxed and happy.

On the grassy fields full of pleasing colors, blue, green and dark, more than a dozen lakes of different sizes are dotted like mirrors. The green lakes compete with the green pastures. , so beautiful that the two held their breaths in admiration.

No matter from any angle, the end of the grassland is connected by the undulating peaks and stretches endlessly.

In this paradise like a fairyland, there are all kinds of livestock: white sheep, yellow or gray cows, and horses of various colors, each enjoying a good rest, adding color to the entire farm and pasture.

On the higher terrain in the northwest corner, there is a magnificent castle, which is backed by a steep cliff like a wall and faces a winding river, which is even more spectacular.

At this time, the two got off their horses and walked on foot. They were fascinated by the sight, and felt that the trip was worthwhile.

What Shen Mu paid attention to were the watchtowers and blockhouses built in various dangerous and key places, while Xu Ziling focused on its beautiful and moving picturesque scenery.

There is a tower at the exit of the gorge. In front of the building, a tunnel three feet wide and five feet deep is dug across the mouth of the gorge. The bottom is covered with spikes and must be passed by a suspension bridge.

After entering the farm and ranch, he re-mounted his horse and rode the road paved with gravel towards Pegasus Castle.

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

Along the way, Shen Mu and Xu Ziling had a better understanding of the Pegasus Ranch, which seemed to be indifferent to the world.

Shang Xiong, the first owner of the Pegasus Ranch who built this castle, was a military general at the end of the Jin Dynasty. At that time, Liu Yu replaced the Jin Dynasty, changed the name of the country to the Song Dynasty, and the world was divided.

In order to avoid the calamity of war, Shang Xiong led his men and clansmen to go south. By chance, he found this hidden Guyuan, where he lived and worked in peace and contentment and established a pasture.

During the 160 years from the establishment of the ranch to the unification of the world in the Sui Dynasty, the Pegasus Ranch experienced seven owners, all of whom were inherited by the Shang family, with supreme authority.

The others are Liang, Liu, Tao, Wu, Xu, Luo and other ethnic groups. After more than [-] years of reproduction, they kept moving out of the surrounding areas to form nearby towns and towns, as far as the two big cities in Jushui, Yuanan and Dangyang. , more than half of its inhabitants are from Pegasus Ranch.

The Pegasus Ranch is also the economic lifeline of this area. It produces high-quality horses, which are famous all over the world. However, because the owner of the farm follows the ancestral precepts and never participates in the affairs of the rivers and lakes and the court, his style is low-key, and he always talks about business, so Shen Mu He and Xu Ziling had never been mentioned before.

Shang Xiong, the first owner of the ranch, was born as a military general. He understood the truth of keeping fists close, so he encouraged his subordinates to learn martial arts and spread martial arts. As a result, everyone in the ranch was brave and good at fighting, fearless of bandits and strong men, and became a powerful force. A power that can guarantee the safety of the region and earn the respect of the residents of nearby towns.It's a bit similar to the effect of Dominating the Villa on Jingling.

Viewed from the front, Pegasus Mountain City is even more amazing.

The city wall is built according to the mountain situation, and it is built on Leiyan, and it is undulating and winding along the terrain, and the situation is precipitous.

Shen and Mu crossed the river into the city through the suspension bridge. The guards of the bridge were cordial and enthusiastic, and the atmosphere was harmonious, giving people the feeling of a big family living in harmony.

After entering the city, there is a wide ramp extending upwards, leading directly to the inner fort where the highest owner lives. There are continuous houses on both sides, which are connected to the ramp by a branch road, which is a characteristic of a mountain city.

People and cars pass by on the road, just like a prosperous big city, and children play together in groups, which makes Shen Mu's eyes brighten, and he is amazed, he never thought that there is such a blessed place in the world.

The buildings are all rough and simple, built with stones, and the shape is magnificent.Along the way, there are many bell pavilions, archways, and gates.

The inner fort is even bigger in scale. The main building has five halls and pavilions, and there are side halls and corridors.The big houses are arranged in the fort in an orderly manner, decorated with garden flowers and trees, small bridges and waterfalls, which are elegant and pleasant.

After entering the castle, under the leadership of a servant, Shen Mu and Xu Ziling, under the aliases Xiao Ning and Xiao Jing, met a small butler and applied for a pastry chef. Shen Mu's real purpose was to establish a good relationship with the Pegasus Ranch. It would be much cheaper to buy a horse then, and if possible, it would be fine to own the Pegasus Ranch.

With Shen Mu's increasingly sophisticated cooking skills, it is a breeze to apply for a pastry chef at Pegasus Ranch.

The dining garden is located in the east of Houbao. There are more than ten houses, and next to it is the dining room for the people in the inner castle.

The two were arranged in a small room in one of the houses, and they were asked to change into the clothes of the servants of the Pegasus Ranch.

Xu Ziling spread out on the bed, complaining: "I don't want to choose any name, but I want to be called Fu Jing, and I am called Xiaojing Xiaojing, so awkward that I look like I have become a woman."

Shen Mu was watching from the window, proudly said: "Your name is Xiao Jing, I'm Xiao Ning, everyone is called to think of people who shouldn't be thought of, and the two are evened out. Sigh! How did I expect to attract these feelings at the time? I thought it was just a random name, just say it."

Xu Ziling wondered: "If you really want to be a pastry chef here, I can accompany you. I am most afraid that you want to plot other people's ranches and come to have both money and sex, so I forgive you for not being with me!"

Shen Mu blushed slightly, and said in embarrassment: "Don't describe me so badly, please? I just want to establish a good relationship with her, so that I can get a better discount when buying horses with her in the future!"

Xu Ziling calmed down and said, "It's useless to say anything. We're leaving tomorrow morning, and you won't be able to see her even if you want to."

"Snapped!"
