The carriage followed the road until it came to a halt under a large wooden plaque, and Richard looked up to see that the plaque was engraved with four large characters - Pegasus Ranch.

Under the plaque, there was a special person from Pegasus Ranch guarding it, and when he saw the carriage approaching, he immediately stepped forward. The player who was driving the cart smiled at Richard and said, "Guest, Pegasus Ranch has a rule that carriages and horses are not allowed to cross this plaque. So that's the end of the road, and about a mile or two further ahead, you're Pegasus. ”

Richard nodded, pulled out the silver, handed it to him, and jumped out of the carriage. At this time, the people from Pegasus Ranch happened to walk in front of the carriage, and when they saw Richard, he was shocked, and his face immediately became excited, and he walked a few steps quickly to Richard, "You are the West... Simon Shaoxia! ”

Richard glanced at the man in front of him and asked with some surprise, "Are you?" ”

The man looked extremely excited, and said with a smile: "Little Man Six, it's the groom in this Pegasus Ranch. Now he has been assigned by the owner to guard the plaque, and he is not allowed to enter. The last time the Four Heroes attacked our Pegasus Ranch at night, I fought the fire in the stables with Shaoxia. ”

Richard suddenly realized that he was a person from the Pegasus Ranch, no wonder he knew him.

The player sitting in the carriage on the side saw this scene and his eyes almost bulged out, there were not a thousand but eight hundred guests who had been in the car for several months, whether it was a foreign businessman or a certain magnate, Ma Liu was a look of ignorance, but today he was so enthusiastic about a player, even more than enthusiasm, and a little... Respectful?!

Ma Liu continued: "Ximen Shaoxia, you came here to find the owner this time? The owner happens to be in Pegasus Town, so I'll take you there. ”

Richard shook his head and said, "I'm not here to find Miss Shang, Ma Liu, you just said that you are responsible for guarding this plaque, so let me ask you, have Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling ever been here?" ”

"Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling... Who is it? ”

Looking at Ma Liu's blank face, Richard smiled dumbly, "That's it, you better take me to Miss Shang." She should know. ”

"Huh." Ma Liu immediately responded with a smile, and took Richard to turn around and walk towards Pegasus Town, saying as he walked: "Ximen Shaoxia, since you left, the owner and Lu Gong often mention you, and the owner said that our Pegasus Ranch can have today, and it is all ...... with you."

As the two walked away, Ma Liu's voice gradually dissipated in the wind. The player who was driving the carriage was still sitting motionless in a daze, and after a while, he suddenly shuddered. "Simon... Simon... My mom, the one who just got in my car, it can't be a watermelon, right?! ”

After walking all the way, after walking for five or six minutes, Pegasus Town came into view, saying that it was a town, but unlike ordinary towns, this Pegasus Town was composed of hundreds of large and small camps. Closer to the center, I saw dozens of tents, like those tents that had existed when Richard had last visited.

Ma Liu smiled and said proudly: "Since several Pegasus meetings have been held, the fame of our Pegasus Ranch has become more and more famous, and now everyone in the world knows that Pegasus Ranch has the best horses in the world, and they are willing to come to buy our horses." A lot of people would rather live here in order to buy our horses, so there are more and more tents here, and I don't know when they started calling this place Pegasus Town, and we followed suit. ”

Walking into Pegasus Town, Richard found that the distribution of these large and small tents seemed to be messy, but in fact, they were scattered, faintly like a formation.

This is probably the handiwork of Lu Miaozi's predecessors again. Richard said secretly in his heart, and at the same time, under the leadership of Ma Liu, he came all the way to a camp in the center of Pegasus Town.

When I came to the door of the camp tent, I saw several people just come out of the camp tent, and the man who was the leader had a tattoo on the forearm of his right hand.

These people took a look at Richard and Ma Liu, and after taking a look at the two, they left directly, their faces faintly unhappy. As they walked away, Richard faintly heard someone muttering, "Second Master Xie, this Shang Xiuxun is too ignorant, we are all ..."

Ma Liu stepped forward, stood at the door of the camp tent and said respectfully: "Field master, Ximen Shaoxia is here." ”

The merchant Xiuxun in the camp tent changed his face when he heard this, and then said with some surprise: "Ximen? But here comes the melon? ”

She couldn't wait to get up and walk quickly to the door of the tent, opened the curtain and saw the Ximen melon, her face was even more happy, "You came just in time, come in with me." ”

As he spoke, Shang Xiuxun stretched out his hand and pulled Richard into the tent, and then said to Ma Liu: "Guard at the door, no one is allowed to come in." When someone comes, tell him that I have a distinguished guest! ”

Pulling Richard into the tent, Shang Xiuxun said to Richard: "Have you met the people who went out of my tent when you came?" ”

"You're talking about those guys from the Castle of One?"

"You know?" Shang Xiuxun glanced at Richard in some surprise, and then sighed lightly: "That's right, it's them." I'm worried about them right now, and I don't know what to do. Senior Lu, he just happened to be away again, you have a lot of ideas, give me ideas. ”

"What happened to them? Seeing that your business is hot, come to trouble you? ”

"Not really, they also came to buy horses, but as soon as these guys came, they said they wanted 100,000 horses."

"One hundred thousand?! Richard couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, first he bought gunpowder cannons from the Lingnan Song Valve, and now he sent people to Pegasus Ranch to buy horses, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it was 100,000. Duzun Castle means that you are determined to enter Chang'an!

Shang Xiu nodded and smiled: "Yes, one hundred thousand." And every horse comes at market price, and no one has ever wanted to buy so many horses in one go since the creation of Pegasus Ranch, and now many people in the ranch have persuaded me to agree to the deal. ”

Richard said: "It sounds like a good deal, so why haven't you said yes yet?" ”

"For the men of the Fort of Duzun had one condition, and they said that the silver for the hundred thousand horses was to be given for ten years, and ten thousand for each year. But the horses, this year we have to give them all. ”

"All 100,000 horses must be given to them this year, but the silver is divided into ten years?" Richard sneered, "This exquisite abacus is still clanging." ”

Ten years later, the Great Sui Dynasty will inevitably change the dynasty, and if the Duzunbao uprising is successful at that time, and Chang'an will become the lord of the world, it is impossible to ask the new emperor for silver even if he borrows eight dares from Pegasus Ranch; If Duzun Fort didn't succeed, then nine times out of ten it would be a group group to go on a day trip to the underworld, and Pegasus Ranch couldn't find anyone to go even if they wanted silver.

It is estimated that Duzun Fort also understands this, so it will propose such a plan to make sure that you don't lose money. First of all, with 100,000 horses, which sounded extremely tempting, Shang Xiuxun thought that this was an unprecedented big deal, but with these 100,000 horses plus the gunpowder of the Lingnan Song Valve, Duzun Fort could rebel in three years at most, and it would be difficult for Pegasus Ranch to get the rest of the silver at that time.

In other words, these horses seem to be sold to Fort Duzun at the market price, but in the end, these horses are discounted at least three times, and maybe even two or one percent!
