As the old poem says:

The sky is green and the fields are vast.

“What a beautiful grassland!”

Looking at the endless prairie, Su Liu felt refreshed and couldn't help but praise:

"This is truly a God-given treasure!"

On the ox cart, Shen Danniang looked around and smiled:

"This is indeed a Feng Shui treasure land. It is the fertile land of the entire lower reaches of the Yangtze River. It is surrounded by the Zhang River and the Ju River, which divide it into such a fertile grassland. Not only is the land fertile, but the climate is mild, and the water and grass are abundant. It is the best grassland."

"Oh?"

Su Liu was slightly surprised, looked at Shen Danniang, and said with a smile;

"Dan Niang has been here?"

Shen Danniang pursed her lips and smiled, gentle and docile, and said softly:

"Sir, you may not know that the best horse farm in the entire Sui Dynasty, the Pegasus Ranch, is located here. I once brought my servants here to deliver wine, so I know this place quite well."

Shen Danniang may seem weak, but in fact she is a remarkable woman with a very strong character. As a female shopkeeper, she runs the Shibali Shop alone, so naturally she is well-informed.

And Su Liu suddenly realized.

It turns out that this grassland is the famous Pegasus Ranch.

No wonder it's so extraordinary.

The Pegasus Ranch mentioned by Shen Danniang is definitely one of the best ranches in the Sui Dynasty, and even in the entire world.

This place was originally built by Shang Xiong, a military general in the late Jin Dynasty. Later, during the war, Shang Xiong moved here with his people, and they lived and worked in peace and contentment, established a ranch, and made it a paradise.

Pegasus Ranch is rich in grass and water and has a mild climate. It is a pasture gifted by God. Therefore, the high-quality horses produced here are the most excellent war horses and are second to none in the world.

It is also because of this that this big piece of fat meat is feared by countless people.

Regardless of whether it is the various underworld forces or the officials in the court, they all want to completely annex the Pegasus Ranch, a Feng Shui treasure land.

Fortunately, successive owners of the ranch have followed their ancestors' teachings, kept a low profile, never participated in the fights between the underworld and the imperial court, and secretly accumulated armed forces for the ranch, which is why it has been able to last for seven generations.

The farm owner of this generation is none other than the famous and beautiful farm owner in the original novel - Shang Xiuxun.

Thinking of this, Su Liu smiled slightly, pinched the Wuxiang Jue with his fingers, and calculated a little. It seemed that he encountered something. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he murmured to himself:

"A paradise on earth?"

"Haha, it's a pity that troubled times are coming. War horses are the most precious resource in troubled times. How long can this paradise last? The man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure!"

"Sir, what did you say?"

Dan Niang didn't hear clearly what Su Liu said.

And Su Liu shook his head.

"Nothing, let's keep going."

The ox cart moved forward slowly along the grassland. When it was near a lake, a burst of shouting and the sound of horse hooves suddenly broke the quiet and peaceful atmosphere of the grassland.

"stop!"

"Chase me!"

"The boss has ordered that if we can capture them alive, we should do so!"

Su Liu frowned, seeming a little unhappy. His originally good mood was disturbed by the sudden shouting and killing, and a bit of coldness appeared in his eyes.

"Ah, we were having a nice outing, why did a few flies suddenly appear to disturb us?"

Su Liu narrowed his eyes slightly, and there seemed to be a divine light surging in his eyes. His gaze seemed to penetrate the barrier of space and clearly see everything that was happening in the distance.

"The trees want to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop."

"Forget it. Since I have encountered such a group of annoying flies, it is better to just hit them. Otherwise, they will keep buzzing and bother me."

Then, the divine light in Su Liu's eyes faded away, he slowly stretched himself, and then smiled and said to the big blue ox that was pulling the cart:

"Let's go to the front and see where these flies came from."

Chapter 847: Four bandits are attacking, Pegasus Ranch is in danger!

At the river mouth.

There is a rather steep canyon.

A cavalry of dozens of people has been forced into a desperate situation.

These people were all wearing sky blue suits with a nimble Pegasus logo embroidered on their chests. They were obviously the guards of the Pegasus Ranch.

At this moment, these guards were trapped in the canyon by a group of horse thieves numbering hundreds of people.

There are pursuers in front and a canyon behind. There is no way to go up to heaven and no door to go into the earth.

It is obvious that the guards of Pegasus Ranch have been forced into a desperate situation.

However, these guards did not choose to surrender. Instead, they gathered together, picked up their weapons, and planned to fight to the death with the bandits outside who outnumbered them by several times.

But the horse bandits had more numbers and the advantage of terrain, so they were not in a hurry to attack.

The leading bandit was riding on a horse, slowly directing his men to surround the guards of Pegasus Ranch, with a cat-playing-with-mouse mentality, wanting to capture the guards alive and bring them back in exchange for a reward.

Seeing this, the guards of Pegasus Ranch became more and more anxious.

Some young men were filled with righteous indignation, their eyes were bloodshot, and they said angrily:

"Uncle Jiao, we can't continue to be in a stalemate with this thief!"

"The ranch was attacked by bandits, and the owner sent us to Duba Villa for help, but we were stopped by the bandits. If the reinforcements don't arrive in time, the owner and his men won't be able to hold on!"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man who was blind in one eye gritted his teeth, and a hint of determination flashed in his only remaining eye, and he shouted sternly:

"Listen to me."

"We can't all die here. Someone has to go to Duba Villa for help, otherwise our ranch and our home will be finished!"

"We will break out in a moment. Even if everyone else dies, we must ensure that there is one person alive who can deliver the message to Duba Villa!"

The other guards shouted:

"Yes!"

Then, the one-eyed man gritted his teeth, and without hesitation, he raised the spear in his hand, took the lead and rushed to the front.

"Boys, charge! Break through!"

Dozens of knights rushed out, raising clouds of dust.

These strong young men are all ranch boys who grew up on the grassland since childhood. Naturally, each of them is a good man skilled in archery and horse riding. At this moment, they are charging together with extraordinary momentum, which is very impressive.

But the bandits on the opposite side are not ordinary bandits.

But the four notorious bandits.

The so-called four major bandits refer to the four most powerful horse thieves entrenched in the Yangtze River. They are Xiang Batian, who leaves no grass to grow, Fang Jianding, who leaves no chickens or dogs to live, Mao Zao, who scorches a thousand miles of land, and Cao Yinglong, who cries like ghosts and gods.

These four thieves were notorious for committing all kinds of evil in their daily lives. Wherever they went, they burned, killed, looted and committed many evil deeds, and everyone was afraid of them.

Because of their large numbers and the fact that horse thieves come and go like the wind, no one has been able to control them for many years. Especially in such troubled times, they are like fish in water and their strength is getting stronger and stronger.

Originally, Pegasus Ranch relied on the guards and allies organized in the ranch to dominate the villa, and could also resist the looting of the four major bandits, and even killed the four major bandits several times and defeated them.

But recently, these four bandits, who were originally hostile to each other, somehow formed an alliance. Their number of members reached tens of thousands, and their notoriety shocked the whole world.

Under the attack of tens of thousands of horse bandits, all the Sui troops originally stationed in Badong County were wiped out. Badong County has now become the lair of the four major bandits.

After conquering Badong County, the second target of the four major bandits became the Pegasus Ranch, which produced a large number of war horses, intending to completely swallow this big piece of fat meat.

Three days ago, four major bandits came out together, leading nearly 10,000 bandits under their command, and surrounded Pegasus Ranch in a lightning speed.

Fortunately, Shang Xiuxun, the current owner of Pegasus Ranch, remained calm in the face of danger and decisively ordered the ranch guards to close the gates and hold their positions, thus blocking the fierce attack of the bandits.

But this is only a stopgap measure.

The four major bandits came out in full force with the intention of completely conquering Pegasus Ranch in one fell swoop. They will never give up until they achieve their goal this time.

In desperation, Shang Xiuxun could only send out several small teams, divided into seven groups, to seek help from his allies.

Unfortunately, before they could ask for reinforcements, the rest of the team were killed by the bandits, and now, only the team with the one-eyed man is left.

But their situation was not optimistic, and they were about to be killed or injured.

"Breakout, breakout!"

"Don't get entangled with them, go quickly, I will stop these evil thieves!"

The one-eyed man swung the spear in his hand, sweeping away a group of bandits like a mad tiger, and then tried desperately to cover a young man's escape.

It’s a pity that it failed in the end.

The leader of the bandits drew his bow and shot an arrow, knocking the last person who broke through off his horse.

Upon seeing this, the one-eyed man fell into despair and wailed:

"Do not--"

"I'll fight you!"

Then, he rushed towards the leader of the bandits alone, like a madman, with red eyes, as if he didn't care about his life.

Chapter 848 Hero Gu never lied to me!

Looking at the one-eyed man who was charging at them desperately like a mad beast, the leader of the bandits sneered contemptuously, waved his hand lightly, and sneered:

"We have captured enough people alive. We don't want this one anymore. Release the arrows and shoot him to death!"

Following his command, more than a dozen bandits let go of their bows.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh! .

More than ten arrows whizzed out in an instant, and were about to shoot the one-eyed man into a hornet's nest. At this critical moment, a light laugh suddenly sounded.

"So many people are shooting arrows at one person. Even though they are a bunch of low-class horse thieves, isn't it a bit too shameful?"

The moment the voice rang out, a breeze suddenly blew by, as if turning into a wall of wind that blocked the one-eyed man in front of him, blocking the whistling arrows one by one.

This scene stunned everyone present.

"What!?"

"How is it possible?"

"What happened? Why did my arrow fall to the ground?"

"Who the hell is talking?"

The leader of the bandits looked suspicious and looked around, shouting:

"How dare you come here to play tricks? We are under the command of the great leader Cao Yinglong. If you know what's good for you, get out of here and don't bring yourself into trouble!"

At this moment, an ox cart slowly drove into everyone's sight.

At the same time, the chuckle just now sounded again.

"Haha, you're Cao Yinglong, the great leader? Haha, what a big name! How dare a lowly thief like you act so arrogantly in front of me? I really want to know, who gave you the courage?"

The curtain of the ox cart was drawn open, and a Taoist in white suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

But this Taoist was dressed in white, spotless, handsome as jade, and his eyes were as bright as stars. People dared not look directly at him. He exuded an indescribable otherworldly aura from head to toe.

At this moment, the whole place was silent.

Even the usually arrogant horse thieves seemed to be impressed by Su Liu's style and demeanor, and did not make any noise at all.

Su Liu smiled slightly, looked kindly at the bandit leader riding on a tall horse, and said with a half-smile:

"My memory is not very good. What did you just say to me?"

The moment he heard these words, for some reason, a terrifying pressure that could not be described in words suddenly descended upon the bandit leader. Before he could say anything, he felt his chest tremble, and his eyes seemed to be on fire as he endured the pain from the distance.

puff!

The next moment, under the horrified gaze of the bandits, the bandit leader who had been so arrogant just now couldn't utter a word before he fell backwards from his horse to the ground, his life or death unknown.

"Boss!"

"what happened to you?"
