Magic world

"Tap tap tap..." The carriage slowly stopped.

"Who is here?" High on the wall, a middle-aged man with a black eyepatch on his right eye asked loudly.

"Please let me know, General Zuo Wuwei and Chang'an Guard Chen Xicheng need to see the ranch owner." Ito Cheng got out of the carriage and stood on the edge of the carriage, looking up at the man calling with a kind smile.

"Hi~" The man who shouted immediately took a breath of air after hearing this, shocked by Ito Cheng's identity.

"Please wait a moment." The man said politely, then turned his head and shouted "Open the door!"

"Creak, creak, creak..." As he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of wooden shafts chirping, and the Zhangao door that had been closed slowly opened to both sides, revealing the beautiful scenery behind the door, with grass growing and eagles flying. The pasture environment comes.

"Master Chen, please come in." The one-eyed man who ran down from the wall while the door was opening said politely.

"Thank you." Ito Cheng also said politely, and drove the horse to the pasture.

"What a horse!" He hadn't paid attention just now, but when he got closer, he finally noticed the difference between the two horses pulling the carriage and praised loudly with his eyes shining, which showed his love for the two black horses. [

"We must let the owner of the farm have a good talk with Mr. Chen later and buy these two black horses for breeding purposes." The one-eyed man thought to himself as he watched Ito Cheng's carriage enter the ranch.

"It would be a waste of resources if such good horses were only used to pull carts."

"Close the door." The one-eyed man who looked away ordered loudly, then quickly walked to the horse tied to the side, turned over and sat on it, drove the horse to catch up with Ito Cheng's carriage, and followed I Tocheng to guide the people entering the ranch. road, and introduce some scenery inside the ranch.

"So beautiful." Wei Zhenzhen praised after being called out by Ito Cheng.

Hearing Wei Zhenzhen's praise, the smile on the one-eyed man's face became even brighter, and he enthusiastically introduced the situation in the ranch to Ito Cheng. Of course, it was only a simple content that anyone could know. It's like something confidential. As a one-eyed man in charge, he wouldn't be stupid enough to say it outright just because of a compliment or two.

In this way, under the introduction of the one-eyed man, the group walked through the vast plains and came to a group of houses.

"Mr. Chen, please come with me." The one-eyed man said as he dismounted and handed the horse to Xiao Si.

Hearing this, Ito Cheng didn't show any pretense, and walked out of the carriage with Wei Zhenzhen and Fu Junzhuo, who put on the strange silver mask on his face again. He handed the carriage to Xiao Si next to him to take care of it, and followed the one-eyed man towards the house.

After a while, they came to a more formal living room.

The reception room is not big, only about thirty square meters, and is rectangular. There is a round table and a few short round chairs in the middle. A pile of wooden shelves and some white vases stand against the walls on both sides, and on the innermost wall, a huge picture of a galloping horse hangs on the wall, occupying the entire wall.

"Master Chen, please take a seat. Our host will be here soon." The one-eyed man led Ito and others to sit down at the round table.

At this time, two maids in plain clothes walked into the reception room carrying wooden trays, and placed the two porcelain cups on the wooden trays in front of Ito Cheng and the one-eyed man respectively. for their enjoyment. As for Wei Zhenzhen and Fu Junzhuo, one knew that etiquette was not fulfilled, and the other knew his identity and acted arbitrarily. Together they stood on the left and right behind Ito Cheng like maids and guards.

"I wonder what Mr. Chen is here for this time..." After a few drinks and pleasantries, the one-eyed man asked.

"Buy a horse." Ito Cheng answered straight to the point.

"Adults also need horses?" the one-eyed man asked reservedly. [

"Why not?" Ito asked with a slight smile on his face.

"Um... I'm just being presumptuous." The one-eyed man smiled awkwardly and put aside the topic of why he bought the horse.

"I'm afraid I might disappoint you this time." Then, the one-eyed man who calmed down shook his head and sighed.

"Oh?" Ito Cheng raised his eyebrows, with a look of interest on his face.

"Because..." the one-eyed man opened his mouth and said. But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a crisp words: "Uncle Zhen."

Then, a tall man wearing Hufu clothing, with bronze skin, long black hair spread over his shoulders like a waterfall, and dark eyes. With thick eyelashes and exuding a fiery dynamic and heroic spirit, a woman in her twenties who looked like a modern strong woman walked into the room followed by a pretty maid.

"I've met the owner." The one-eyed man stood up and saluted and shouted.

"What a handsome and heroic beauty." Ito Cheng looked at Shang Xiuxun up and down with interest and said.

Shang Xiuxun frowned when he heard this, and turned to look at Ito Cheng who was still sitting on the round chair with sharp eyes. There was a hint of unpleasant emotion on his face. Obviously, Ito Cheng gave Shang Xiuxun the initial sensory experience.

"Master of the field, this is General Zuo Wuying, Chang'an Guard Chen Xicheng, Master Chen." Sensing the change in the atmosphere, the one-eyed man quickly introduced.

"I've met Mr. Chen." Shang Xiuxun's posture could not be described as respectful. At most, he could only say a polite salute with his fists clasped in his hands. "I didn't expect that the leader of a dignified city would not be sitting in the territory, but he would come all the way to Pegasus Ranch. It's really amazing. It’s surprising.”

In the world of the Tang Dynasty, except for people like Du Fuwei, which leader of a force did not adhere to the creed that a son of rich wealth should not sit down in the palace, and stay at the core of the force with peace of mind? Therefore, Shang Xiuxun was surprised that Xiang Itocheng, who was directly promoted to the head of a force after Yang Guang's death, did not stay in his hometown to save his life and ran around.

"The Pegasus Ranch is very fragrant now. If you don't come here to show your sincerity, how can the owner consider selling horses to a famous little boy like me?" Ito Cheng looked at Shang Xiu who sat down opposite him. Xun chuckled.

"Xiuxun, thank you Mr. Chen for your attention to Pegasus Ranch, but I'm sorry, I still can't sell the horses to you." Shang Xiuxun said politely. Then under the gaze of Ito Cheng, Mansheng explained, "Because Hideyun decided to keep all the horses produced today, tomorrow and the next three years for breeding in order to improve the quality of the horses at the racecourse, Master Fa and Chen agreed to the deal." ,Feel sorry."

"Really?" Ito Cheng frowned and said softly.

"Yes." Shang Xiuxun confirmed with an unchanged expression.

For a moment, the atmosphere between the two became stagnant again.

But at this moment, another burst of footsteps came in from outside the house, and then he opened the door very rudely and stepped in. Immediately, a man with a handsome face, fair skin, and a scholar's haircut appeared in a smart suit. He looked like a refined scholar and pretty boy, and a man who was also wearing a flexible Hu suit with a pretty face, red lips, and white teeth. , with deep pupils, like a black woman with powerful wisdom, came into the eyes of Ito Cheng and Shang Xiuxun.

Seeing the two people walking into the room, Shang Xiuxun's expression changed, and a hint of warmth and anger flashed in his eyes.

"Xiuxun, why don't you introduce me to my sister when you have a visitor?" The woman who walked into the room looked at the look in Shang Xiuxun's eyes and walked quickly to sit next to Shang Xiuxun with a charming smile, as if she was intimate. He looked at Ito Cheng and asked.

"What a handsome young man." The woman chuckled softly.

"Mei Ning, you're not polite." The man said softly, then he also regarded Shang Xiuxun's presence, cupped his fists at Ito Cheng and asked, "I'm Chai Shao, I don't know who your Excellency is..."

"Chai Shao?" Ito Cheng said, looking at the other person up and down. Then when the other person's face showed pride, he turned to look at the woman aside and continued, "So you are Li Xiuning?"

"Young Master, do you know me?" Li Xiuning asked in surprise.

"I naturally know about the third princess of the Li family, Xiuning. It's just a pity that she is paired with a idiot who only knows how to be romantic. It's disappointing." Ito Cheng glanced at Chai Shao who was standing aside and sighed.

"You!" Chai Shao glared at Ito Cheng with a red face.

"That's enough! Do you still have my eyes on me, Shang Xiuxun!" Shang Xiuxun, who had been suppressing his anger, slapped a picture on the table in front of him, leaving a deep palm print on it and stood up. , said with an angry look, "This is Pegasus Ranch, not Chang'an, nor Taiyuan. You should respect yourself, or please leave. Our Pegasus Ranch does not welcome guests like you who do not know etiquette!"

"Sorry, Xiuxun, it's my little sister Xiuning who was rude." Seeing Shang Xiuxun's anger, Li Xiuning quickly stood up and apologized, "So as compensation, I will send you my favorite thousand-layer cake later. What do you think of the gift of apology?"

Li Xiuning was well aware of Shang Xiuxun's foodie nature and took the opportunity to cater to his interests.

"Hmph." Shang Xiuxun, whose mouth moved slightly, snorted coldly without wiping his face, which was regarded as accepting Li Xiuning's accompanying gift.

"I heard that you, the mall owner, love beautiful things. You are not talented, but I also have some skills, so I will make you a table of beautiful things for the mall owner later to make up for your guilt." Ito, who is still sitting in his original position Cheng also liked him and chuckled.

"Humph." Shang Xiuxun, with curiosity and suspicion in his eyes, glanced at Ito Cheng, who was smiling, and followed with the same cold voice.

"I still don't know who the young master is..." Recalling that Shang Xiuxun had mentioned the word Chang'an before when he was angry, Li Xiuning's eyes flashed, and he looked at Ito Cheng and asked again.

"Chen Xicheng." Ito Cheng looked back at Li Xiuning and said quietly.

Li Xiuning's eyes narrowed when he learned Ito Cheng's name, and he turned to look at Chai Shao. They never thought that the guy who had been trying to build relationships with each other since he came to power in order to win over him to become Li Tang's helper but failed would meet with them and others under such circumstances, and even stayed behind. Such a good impression made their hearts sink at the same time, feeling that their second brother Shimin's plan to go to Chang'an to plot Zhongyuan might be in trouble. (To be continued...)
