Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 88 087. Dismount!

Pegasus City is here?
Li Zhen looked around.

In the eyes, it is a city that can't be seen at a glance.

The city is built on the mountain, and some buildings can be seen faintly in the mountain.And at the foot of the mountain, there is a city that stretches for miles!

The city walls are tall, solemn, and thick, and after years of mottled, they present a breathtaking black.

And the most conspicuous place is that on both sides of the gate of the city where crowds come and go, there are two stone-carved horses. The heads of the horses are at the same level as the city wall. They are extremely tall and look extraordinarily majestic and mighty!
Extending outward from the city gate, including the place where Li Zhen and the others are about to arrive, there are fences full of horses of various colors and tents placed on the edge.

From a long distance, Li Zhen saw many people walking around the fence.

"That is……"

Following Li Zhen's gaze, Shang Nian glanced at it and said with a smile:

"The horse market, the horse market in the city is managed by our three sects, while the horse market outside the city is a small local family, not worth mentioning."

"...you call this worthless?"

Li Zhen looked at the groups of horses, and unconsciously complained:
"It looks like there are as many as a thousand horses!"

"Well……"

Hearing this, Shangnian narrowed his eyes and glanced at it, and said:

"About three thousand and five. Today is not a big day, and it is still a bit deserted in autumn and winter. After spring and summer, when the ponies have come down, the Taoist priest will look at it again and understand. The horse market in my Pegasus City Why is it known as the best view in the world!"

"..."

Hearing this, Li Zhen no longer knew what to say.

be honest.

Even as a modern person, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

If you want to say how majestic the Pegasus City is, how vast its territory is, that's not a rare thing.

The artistic miracle created by modern people is the eternal glorious imprint of the process of human history.

However, the appearance of these three or four thousand horses lined up in large and small enclosures and living together in groups made Li Zhen completely speechless.

To tell the truth, Li Zhen once went to Inner Mongolia to play, and also saw the so-called appearance of cattle and sheep in the grass.

The white sheep and the green grass form a wonderful picture.

But... far from shocking him at this moment.

That's a sheep, that's a horse!
Thousands of horses!

The so-called "thousands of galloping horses" filmed on TV are only a few hundred.

And there are thousands of horses...

But these alone seem to be nothing in the mouth of Shang Nian.

When Pegasus City was at its most prosperous... what would it be like?

Come to the right place!

He said to himself silently in his heart.

At the same time, seeing Pegasus City getting closer, he understood that it was time to leave.

So he whispered to Shangnian:
"Layman Shang, Pindao won't say goodbye to Layman Sun and the others."

"Uh……"

Shang Nian was taken aback, but he was not surprised.

Nod:
"Does the Daoist want to go around?"

"Exactly."

"Okay, Taoist priest, do you remember what I said?"

"Of course I remember, Fulong Building in the West City."

"That's right, it's Fulong Tower. After we handed in the task, we sent a servant to inform him. Presumably, it should be one step faster than the Taoist priest. It doesn't matter if the servant delays, the Taoist priest can just mention the name of Senior Brother Shang Nu directly. "

Li Zhen clasped his hands together:

"Thank you, Layman Shang."

"Haha~"

Shangnian grinned, and handed over a waist card:
"Daozhang, you must not get drunk and never return!"

"must!"

After Li Zhen took it, he clasped his fists and pulled the horse's head. The old horse immediately got off the official road and walked towards the fenced market not far away.

After walking a few steps, he turned around and looked at the inner disciples of the Pegasus Sect behind him, also cupping their fists.

The group didn't mind seeing Li Zhen leave. In the past few days, everyone's situation has been inquired about.We all know where Priest Shouchu will end up.

It's important to go back and hand in the task. After the settlement is settled, when you are resting, if you want to listen to the book, you can go there to find it.

So everyone returned the salute, rode their horses, straightened their backs, and walked towards Pegasus City.

Not parting.

Just for a better get together.

……

"Does the Daoist want to change horses?"

"Just take a look at the poor."

"Oh, Taoist, go slowly."

……

"Daoist, our Qianxing Company can exchange horses. Your horse is old. I will give you a high price. Come to us and exchange for a new one."

"Thank you layman, I don't need it for the time being."

"Okay, if the Taoist priest needs anything, just come to us."

"Thank you."

"polite."

……

"Master Dao, we just arrived at a batch of saddles..."

……

"Hoof Care Oil~The hoof care oil of Distant Relatives Trading Company! No. [-] in Pegasus City!"

……

"There are seventeen pregnant mares, and the stallions are the direct bloodline of Lei Humen Lei Long Zou!!"

……

"Forage! There are clover flowers in every bundle!"

……

"Accept Ma Dan! Ma Dan! Big Ma Dan! It's a good price! Daoist, what's the matter?"

"Dare to ask... what is this Madan?"

"Oh~ It's the first time for Daoist Priest to come to Pegasus City?"

"Exactly."

"Madan is horse dung."

"...What's the use of collecting this horse manure?"

"It's fertile in winter, sprinkled on our pastures, for the next year's fertile water and plants. Of course, it's not sprinkled directly, how stinky is it? It must be handled by the horse training Dan of our Chasing Wind Company, Only then will it work. Why don’t Taoist priests buy some and bring them back to the Taoist temple to grow flowers and vegetables?”

"...Thank you, Pindao can use his own."

……

Going around all the way.

Li Zhenzhen felt that she had learned a lot.

It's not just polite words, it's really, really long experience.

This city has already formed an industrial chain just by looking at these businesses outside the city.As long as it's about horses, it's all done from top to bottom.

And it's neat and orderly, without any chaos.

Even...even the quality of the staff is high.

Along the way, I asked myself questions, no matter which company's racecourse greeted the guests, he didn't show any impatience...even if he looked like a poor Taoist priest.

Whether this group of people were buying or selling horses, Li Zhen felt the prosperity of the city from their words.

Going around continuously for almost an hour.

He became more and more curious about Pegasus City, so he simply stopped wandering around, sat on the horse and walked towards the gate of the city.

And near the city gate, he saw that under the two steed statues there were one after another stables, in which various horses of different colors were being fed by a group of grooms.

Before he could figure out the situation, suddenly, a young man in soap clothes stopped him with a handful of horse pomegranates.

Jumaliu is somewhat similar to the explosion-proof steel fork of later generations, that is, a semicircular circle connected in front of a steel rod.But bigger than riot steel forks.

The former is used to defend against human attack, while the latter is used to resist the forward charge of horses.

The wood of this thing has been soaked in tung oil, so it has excellent toughness. When it is pushed to the horse's neck, and the other end is inserted to the foot, any horse will have to stop unless it is born with supernatural power.

Refusing Ma Liu to throw a club to his side, the young man shouted at Li Zhen:
"Taoist, is this the first time you come to Pegasus City? You don't understand any rules! Get off your horse!"
