The moment before, bright reds and tender yellows were blooming all over the place, surrounded by rockeries and flowing water. Several people were leaning against the railing to enjoy the wind, and several people were chatting freely over wine.
"Sister Xiuning is a heroine among women. Xiuxun admires her greatly. In March, he successively surrendered the rebels such as He Panren, Li Zhongwen, Xiang Shanzhi, and Qiu Li.
You successively captured Huxian, Zhouzhi, Wugong, and Shiping, and even the famous Sui Dynasty general Qu Tutong was defeated by you.
The Detachment of Women's Army is so powerful that my sister and I are like thunder in my ears even as far away as the Pegasus Ranch. "
In the Pegasus Garden, there are people playing the piano, dancing with swords, and twirling light strings slowly.
The autumn breeze was blowing, and a few people were having a great time drinking and chatting.
A tall girl with black hair, long eyelashes, and sparkling eyes smiled and raised her glass, saying, "The horses are not a problem. With our friendship over the years, no matter what, my sister will not leave empty-handed. It’s just that the pasture has been a little difficult recently.”
The woman was dressed in a pure white warrior uniform, and even if there was a hint of evasion in her words, it would not make people irritated.
It's really like a pretty and innocent sister talking about some embarrassing things to her elder sister.
"Sister, don't lie to me. The four bandits seem to have a strong voice, but they won't put it in the eyes of sister Xiu Xun.
You have been running a ranch for several years, and you are very clever. Sister, I have heard of it in Taiyuan. You are just a bandit, and they look so menacing. If they really fight, they will definitely not be able to do anything to you. "
Li Xiuning came prepared, and of course he would not achieve great things with just a few words of praise.
Her purpose is clear.
It's not just about buying a few horses.
Just like when he persuaded He Panren, Li Zhongwen and others, he was trying to bring Pegasus Ranch into his own camp.
Now the Li clan has gained momentum and invaded Chang'an to support the weak emperor. Li Yuan called himself the King of Tang. Not only did he have strong soldiers and horses, but he also had a cloud of counselors and a rain of generals under his command.
Not to mention the so-called "virtuous people" who made their bets in advance, even the various forces, large and small, that were watching in the world began to take a fancy to the leader of the clan who was expected to take over the world, and they all turned to him one after another.
This is how fighting for the world is, one step is faster, each step is faster.
There will never be anyone who, knowing that the other party is bound to lose, would turn to them instead.
That is courting death.
Therefore, Li Xiuning had the confidence to believe that Pegasus Ranch had no better choice than joining its own forces.
Faced with the life and death of a family and the rise and fall of their future, the sisterly relationship between them is not that important.
Besides, she still has some trump cards.
"Excuse Xiuning, although the Pegasus Ranch is very powerful and the four major bandits are just a mob, according to the information we have received, it is not just Cao Yinglong and Xiang Batian who came to plot the ranch this time.
There are people behind them supporting them, but they must be on guard. "
Li Xiuning raised the golden cup, slightly opened her cherry mouth, and tasted the Yin Hong fruit wine carefully. With a graceful look on her brows, she sighed: "This wine must be a top quality, with a soft entrance, endless aftertaste, and endless aftertaste.
I can only taste four of the fruity aromas, but I can't taste the others.
I didn't expect there to be such a wine master in your ranch, why don't you introduce him to him? "
She thought that Shang Xiuxun, who was fond of gourmet food, would be very interested in talking to her about wine and food.
She felt that talking so straightforwardly about the safety of Pegasus Ranch, after all, was a bit of a threat.
Li Xiuning really didn't want to talk about such a disgraceful thing in this atmosphere.
The Pegasus Ranch they want is a Pegasus Ranch that is willing to provide horses and support Li Tang wholeheartedly.
Rather than taking advantage of others' danger and threatening the other party to join in at a special opportunity.
In this way, the other party not only won't get too many horses unwillingly, but also hides resentment in his heart, so why bother?
Li Xiuning deserves to be Li Tang's future Princess Pingyang, in other words, Princess Pingnan.
One can imagine how highly the Li Tang Dynasty recognized her achievements.
At the beginning of the rebellion, she single-handedly raised an army of 100,000 people, fought in the north and south, and garrisoned her hometown.
His military merit is even higher than that of Li Shimin.
Not only did he run the army rigorously, but he also won consecutive battles, laying a solid foundation for Li Tang.
That's all.
The key thing is that Princess Li Tang's greatest skill is actually not fighting, but the art of maneuvering.
She can often persuade others to join her in just a few sentences and solve many problems without any bloodshed.
This kind of skill really cannot be learned by others.
He has an ice-cold mind, and he is beautiful and majestic, but he still has a tongue...
When you interact with others, you feel like a spring breeze and think ahead in everything.
There are very few things that this kind of person cannot accomplish.
"It's just six-fruit wine brewed by an elder. I didn't even ask what kind of fruits it was." Shang Xiuxun laughed to himself, a little unnaturally.
Thinking of some of the bad things happening at the ranch, she felt a little depressed. She turned her eyes and looked to one side, and found the young man sitting next to Li Xiuning.
The young man looked very quiet and silent, just sipping the wine silently.
However, sitting in the pavilion, his demeanor is calm and generous, and he feels as peaceful and safe as if he is at home.
It's also like sitting in a military camp with thousands of troops and horses under his command, which makes people dare not look down upon him.
This magnanimity, this calmness actually compares to Li Xiuning's famous generals Li Gang and Dou Wei.
He even has a rivalry with Li Xiuning.
She rolled her eyes and smiled: "Could this be Qianniu Beishen, Mr. Chai?"
"It's Chai Shao. He came to the ranch with Xiuning this time. He has no other thoughts. He just wants to do his best for the owner of the mall. The small problem of the four major invaders will be eliminated soon."
Chai Shao turned around and looked at Li Xiuning, his eyes full of doting, and said with a smile: "Xiu Ning is right, the attack of the four major bandits this time is inseparable from Wagang Village.
Li Mi behaves in a dark and secretive manner, and is best at serial schemes and counterintuitive schemes. Shopping mall owners must be more careful, even if they have defeated the four major bandits, they cannot take it lightly. "
"Young Master Chai means that if anything happens to Li Mi, you will be the ones to deal with it?"
"exactly."
Chai Shao did not come here alone.
Not only does he shoulder the responsibility of protecting his fiancée Li Xiuning, he also brings an elite team, hidden in the mountains and fields, ready to deal with any situation at any time.
"Sister Xiuning has really found a good home." Shang Xiuxun actually didn't like Chai Shao's all-encompassing attitude.
What he said was that he looked down on the power of his own ranch or something.
She smiled even more heartily, "Then there is Young Master Laochai. Wagang has a strong army and acts unscrupulously. Xiu Xun just doesn't know how to deal with it. It's great to have your help.
However, recently Yang Lin, the patron king of Jiangdu, also sent people to buy horses. I was away on business in those few days, and my subordinates did something wrong, but blocked the other party's envoys from the pasture, causing them all to be killed or injured. Unknown to me, What should I do? I wonder what Mr. Chai can teach me? "
"Hey, this person doesn't follow the royal way and acts in a domineering manner. Although he gained a reputation by killing the king, he lost the support of the people, especially the scholars in the world.
Nowadays, although Jiangdu's power is as hot as a raging fire, it cannot last long. Don't pay attention to it and just watch it self-defeat. "
Chai Shao chuckled, with strong confidence in his words.
The truth is this.
Generally speaking, no matter how dark a country is, or how stupid the king is, the countless years of rule, rule, ministers, father and son, Gang Chang said, have long since washed the minds of the people in the world.
Rebellion is allowed, but if you can't survive, you will rise up.
However, blatant regicide is a good thing to say but not easy to hear.
Like someone who killed his father.
We obviously know that it is a good thing to kill the unscrupulous king, but there are so many moral gentlemen who can't stand him, criticize him, and boycott him.
This is a metaphysical ideological issue.
There is no right or wrong.
Shang Xiuxun's eyes sparkled slightly, and her long eyelashes fell down, making it difficult to tell what she was thinking.
He just chuckled and said, "That's good."
At this moment, she had a bad impression of Chai Shao.
After all, he was born into a general, a noble family, and achieved success at a young age. His talents and abilities were all extraordinary, but he also lost his pride.
How dare he look down on the world's heroes?
Perhaps, he simply didn't know what it meant to be able to forcibly kill a tyrant among hundreds of thousands of troops?
It's also possible that even if he knew it, he didn't take it to heart.
Is it the innate disdain for mud-legged people among high-ranking officials?
However, he doesn't care about Jiangdu's power, and he can't even hit it with eight poles. However, I can't help but care.
Just a few days after leaving the ranch, his men revealed such a big leak.
Shang Xiuxun runs the Pegasus Ranch. Because he is young and lacks prestige, he usually always does good things to others, but now he is seeing bad results.
Li Xiuning was keenly aware of Shang Xiuxun's unhappiness, and smiled to change the topic.
"Sister Xiuxun, don't worry, the king who is the backer of Jiangdu is now busy dealing with Li Zitong and Shen Faxing, trying to unify Jiangnan.
Most of their concerns were about shipbuilding and armor, and the need for horses was not so urgent.
When our two families join forces, we no longer need to be afraid of this person. "
Li Xiuning didn't mean to look down on Jiang Dujun at all. He frowned slightly, showing a rare hesitation.
Are you starting to buy horses so soon?
The ambition of the patron king Yang Lin seems to be greater than imagined.
It's definitely not like those forces that prefer to settle down in a corner...
His desire to attack was too strong.
It seems that we need to plan carefully and send out as many people as possible to contain their development.
