Zhao Mingyuan was not interested in the secrets in Cao Yinglong's mouth.
Let alone the evil king Shi Zhixuan, even the secrets related to the three great masters could not save his life.
Zhao Mingyuan would not stop killing him just for the so-called secret.
As for deceiving the secrets from Cao Yinglong first, and then regretting and killing him later, Zhao Mingyuan disdained such a thing.
Zhao Mingyuan, who knew the plot, knew far more secrets than Cao Yinglong did.
If he wanted to deal with Shi Zhixuan, he had plenty of methods, so what was the value of Cao Yinglong's secret?
It would be better for such a thief who was full of crimes to go to hell as soon as possible. It would be Zhao Mingyuan's kindness not to torture him before his death.
As for the remaining 30,000 bandits, they soon learned that all four major bandits had been killed and the other three parties had been defeated.
After hearing this news, the leaderless bandit army not only did not run away, but began to scheming and divided into dozens of small and large forces fighting among themselves to find a new boss.
After all, all the masters were taken away by Cao Yinglong to participate in the ambush and were killed, leaving only some small bosses.
None of their martial arts were very good, and no one had an overwhelming advantage. They all just relied on numbers to win. Therefore, internal fighting broke out.
Naturally, this situation was soon discovered by Zhao Mingyuan. Seeing this, Zhao Mingyuan led the cavalry of Pegasus Ranch to directly attack.
The bandit army, which had been in chaos for a long time, was almost defenseless and collapsed at the first touch.
At this point, all four major bandits have been wiped out, and all crises outside Pegasus Ranch have been resolved.
However, there are still some sporadic broken troops fleeing around. If left alone, they will cause great damage to the nearby people.
These could only be wiped out slowly by a group of cavalry from Pegasus Ranch.
Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Zhao Mingyuan made some explanations, and then returned to Pegasus Ranch alone.
After all, there must be some fighting in Pegasus Ranch. I don’t know what the situation is.
Zhao Mingyuan was a little worried about Shang Xiuxun's situation and wanted to rush back to her as soon as possible.
In a remote courtyard of Pegasus Ranch, voices could be heard faintly coming from the main house.
Among them were Li Xiuning, Chai Shao, Li Gang and Dou Wei from the Li clan, Li Tianfan and Shen Luoyan from the Li Mi lineage in Wagangzhai, and Tao Shusheng and Yuan'er as representatives of the Pegasus Ranch side who opposed Shang Xiuxun.
That Yuan'er is the concubine of Shang Zhenxinna, the general manager of Pegasus Ranch, and her true identity is a spy sent by Li Tianfan. With her here, Li Clan naturally thinks that Shang Zhen, the general manager of Pegasus Ranch, also has other intentions. .
The three parties talked freely about the internal and external cooperation to carve up the Pegasus Ranch, but all this was clearly heard by Shang Xiuxun in the secret.
After all, Shang Xiuxun is the master of Pegasus Ranch, and he can mobilize every power of the ranch.
It's just that I didn't pay attention to this situation before, but now after careful investigation, I naturally discovered their clues very quickly.
Therefore, the traces of Li Tianfan and Shen Luoyan were also discovered, as well as the internal agents within Pegasus Ranch.
It was precisely because Tao Shusheng and Yuan'er secretly facilitated Li Tianfan and Shen Luoyan that they were able to sneak into Pegasus Ranch without anyone noticing.
Shang Xiuxun was surprised, angry, and sad about this. In the end, he was glad that he listened to Zhao Mingyuan's warning and took precautions, otherwise it would have been a disaster.
Unexpectedly, her good sister Li Xiuning actually lied to her and even tried to seize her family's Pegasus Ranch. Moreover, there are actually insiders colluding with outsiders in Pegasus Ranch.
Thinking of this, Shang Xiuxun couldn't help but feel very sad.
Whether it is Li Xiuning or the general manager and deacon at Pegasus Ranch, Shang Xiuxun has always treated each other with sincerity. But unexpectedly, what they got in exchange was betrayal and hurt without hesitation.
The three of them were even discussing how to divide the Pegasus Ranch.
When he heard Li Tianfan say that Shang Xiuxun, the owner of Pegasus Ranch, wanted to hand it over to him and let him handle it.
Just by hearing his malicious laughter, anyone could understand his dirty thoughts.
Li Tianfan had fallen in love with Shang Xiuxun since he last met him, hoping to have a kiss with him. In order to get Shang Xiuxun, he was willing to pay a high price in exchange for better conditions.
When Tao Shusheng from Pegasus Ranch heard Li Tianfan's request, he agreed without hesitation.
Tao Shusheng even said: "Although Xiuxun is the master of Pegasus Ranch, she is just a country girl.
It would be her honor if she could gain Mr. Li's attention and serve him by his side.
If Pu Shanggong can conquer the world in the future, then Xiu Xun will fly on the branches and become a phoenix, and there is even the possibility of her mother honoring the world.
I am an uncle for the sake of Xiu Xun! For her happiness, I am so heartbroken! "
Li Tianfan laughed heartily after hearing this.
Naturally, he heard about Zhao Mingyuan and Shang Xiuxun, and being able to steal Zhao Mingyuan's woman made him think he had surpassed Zhao Mingyuan.
As for Li Xiuning, he was silent for a long time without saying anything.
Shang Xiuxun couldn't help but have hope in her heart. Could it be that she also had a lot of helplessness in her heart and was just doing this out of necessity?
But unexpectedly, a clear and clear voice came into her ears, sending her mood into the abyss again.
"Xiu Xun is a very good girl. I hope Mr. Li can treat her well."
Shang Xiuxun heard clearly that it was Li Xiuning's voice.
Obviously, Li Xiuning finally agreed to this matter.
Haha, Shang Xiuxun heard this conjecture from Zhao Mingyuan before, and thought that Zhao Mingyuan spoke ill of Li Xiuning because of his competitive relationship with the Li clan, and was trying to alienate the relationship between himself and Li Xiuning.
I didn't expect to hear such a conversation so soon.
Maybe Li Xiuning did regard herself as her best friend. But when Li Clan's interests were really involved, he, his so-called best friend, would just throw it away.
Shang Xiuxun was so excited that he accidentally made a sound.
Everyone present was an expert in martial arts, and they immediately sensed that someone was spying on them.
This surprise was no small matter, so they hurriedly flew out of the yard to investigate, and then they unexpectedly discovered that the person peeping in the dark turned out to be the Pegasus Ranch owner Shang Xiuxun they were talking about.
Seeing this, a trace of shame flashed in Li Xiuning's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a look of determination.
Tao Shusheng from Pegasus Ranch was frightened when he saw Shang Xiuxun appear. He immediately realized that unless this was successful, there would be no place for him at Pegasus Ranch.
Li Tianfan's eyes were filled with joy and he said, "Shang Mei is here just in time. We were talking about you just now! We are all a family, why don't you come in and get close."
With that said, Li Tianfan flew towards Shang Xiuxun, intending to catch Shang Xiuxun himself.
Seeing this, the others realized that since their plan had been discovered by Shang Xiuxun and the conspiracy was exposed, they immediately became angry and thought that Li Tianfan's idea was not bad. He actually wanted to take advantage of this situation to seize Shang Xiuxun and take control of Pegasus Ranch.
Although Shang Xiuxun was good at martial arts, the opponents were outnumbered and even masters, so they almost succeeded.
At this critical moment, a barrage of crossbow arrows suddenly shot towards them from multiple directions, blocking their offensive and allowing Shang Xiuxun to take the opportunity to distance themselves.
There is an ambush!
Only then did everyone suddenly realize.
As the owner of Pegasus Ranch, how could Shang Xiuxun possibly go into danger alone?
There must have been an ambush around here.
I'm afraid Shang Xiuxun was deliberately using himself as bait to lure them into the encirclement.
Thinking of this, many of them suddenly had their hearts set on leaving this dangerous place and preparing to escape from Pegasus Ranch.
But Li Xiuning suddenly said: "Now that the matter has been exposed, only by taking down Shang Xiuxun can we turn things around. Otherwise, how can we outrun the master here?"
Shen Luoyan also agreed.
Although both of them are women, their decision-making is definitely not inferior to that of any man.
Suddenly, their hands that had stopped just now moved towards Shang Xiuxun again.
Only Shang Xiuxun, who was escaping into the distance, knew that she didn't bring anyone with her at all.
Originally, she was just planning to peep in secret to confirm the truth, but she didn't expect to encounter such an accident.
As for those crossbow arrows, they were naturally not shot by ambushes.
Shang Xiuxun could clearly see that a mechanism from a nearby building suddenly stretched out from its hiding place and fired crossbow arrows, blocking their steps.
Obviously, there is someone behind this mechanism.
It goes without saying that this person is Lu Miaozi, and he is the only one with such motives and abilities.
This was indeed done by Lu Miaozi.
In order to deal with the crisis at Pegasus Ranch, Zhao Mingyuan and Lu Miaozi had already discussed it and made countermeasures for all possible situations.
In the end, it was agreed that Zhao Mingyuan would go outside to deal with the four major bandits and come back as soon as possible. Lu Miaozi only needs to protect the safety of Shang Xiuxun in Pegasus Ranch.
After all, this is the interior of Pegasus Ranch. Lu Miaozi has lived here for many years, so naturally there are traps in many places. Even masters can die if they are caught off guard.
It's a pity that Pegasus Ranch is too big, and it is impossible for Lu Miaozi to arrange many mechanisms in every place. If it were a trap within Yang Gong's treasury, even the Grandmaster would not be able to escape death.
But the nearby agencies could only barely block everyone's attack, and could only delay their pursuit, making it difficult for Shang Xiuxun to escape danger.
Seeing this, Lu Miaozi suddenly appeared, but he looked like a strong man in black clothes with a scarred face. Apparently, he also wore a human skin mask on his face to disguise his identity.
He suddenly appeared out of nowhere and came to Shang Xiuxun's side. Regardless of Shang Xiuxun's struggle, he pulled her into a nearby courtyard.
Then he opened a secret door, revealing a deep tunnel, and led Shang Xiuxun into the tunnel.
The secret door closed automatically after the two people entered, and there was no trace of anything unusual.
