Zongwu: Start as Jinyiwei, invincible and powerful!

Shang Zhen introduced Lin Fan, "Mr. Lin, this is the owner of our Pegasus Ranch."

Shang Xiuxun's deep, beautiful eyes sized up Lin Fan, her eyelashes fluttering as she smiled.

"I heard that Master Lin wants to purchase 50,000 war horses from Pegasus Ranch?"

Lin Fan nodded and said, "That's right. If we can't deliver so many war horses at once, we can send them in different batches."

Originally, Lin Fan only met Shang Xiuxun under the pretext of buying a war horse.

Now that I have signed in and obtained the Golden Fire Cavalry, I don’t mind buying a batch of war horses.

Lin Fan had obtained a priceless treasure before, but he had hardly used it yet.

Shang Xiuxun smiled and said, "Master Lin is willing to take care of the Pegasus Ranch's business, and I am grateful. However, we are currently unable to provide such a large number of 50,000 war horses at once."

"That's okay, you can buy it in batches. We can sign an agreement to determine the method of delivery of money and horses." Lin Fan smiled slightly when he heard this, and he didn't care about it.

"Mr. Lin is indeed straightforward!" Shang Xiuxun smiled faintly upon hearing this and invited, "Why don't you come with me to see the war horses at my Pegasus Ranch?"

Lin Fan nodded and agreed immediately, "Then I'll trouble the mall owner."

"It's my duty," Shang Xiuxun responded with a smile, and then personally took Lin Fan to the horse grazing area of ​​Pegasus Ranch.

The two chatted casually while watching the horses galloping on the pasture. The atmosphere was quite harmonious.

After visiting the horses on the ranch, Lin Fan and Shang Xiuxun returned to the ranch owner's mansion together.

On the right side of the road leading to the owner's mansion, there is a winding path. At the end of the road, it leads directly to the back mountain of Pegasus Ranch. On the edge of the cliff at the back mountain, a simple attic can be faintly seen.

Lin Fan's heart fluttered, suspecting that this must be Lu Miaozi's residence. However, he remained calm and asked, "Miss Shang, where does this winding path lead to? Is there anyone living among those cliffs?"

Shang Xiuxun's expression changed slightly when she heard Lin Fan's words, and she said casually, "It's just an abandoned attic."

Shang Xiuxun harbored resentment towards her father, Lu Miaozi, and therefore was unwilling to talk about it.

Lin Fan nodded slightly and didn't ask any more questions, but he was certain of his guess in his heart.

After returning to the owner's residence, Shang Xiuxun asked the servants to serve tea and snacks to Lin Fan and personally entertained him.

After chatting for a while, they got down to business and both parties verbally agreed to purchase the war horses.

"It will take some time to prepare the war horses at the ranch. If you have nothing to do, Master Lin, you might as well take a break at the ranch and enjoy the scenery."

After finishing the business, Shang Xiuxun said to Lin Fan with a smile.

"Thank you for bothering me," Lin Fan had no intention of leaving immediately, but when he heard Shang Xiuxun say that, he immediately agreed.

Next, Lin Fan stayed at the Pegasus Ranch, occasionally accompanying Shang Xiuxun to appreciate the ranch scenery or visit the horses on the ranch.

Lin Fan would occasionally cook some delicious food himself, which was not available in this era. This made Shang Xiuxun's appetite grow, and her relationship with Lin Fan became closer.

At dusk on the third day, Lin Fan and Shang Xiuxun were enjoying delicious food when suddenly someone from the ranch came in hurriedly to report that a large army was approaching.

Shang Xiuxun's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. He shouted, "Tell all the guards on the ranch to go up to the tower and prepare for battle!"

"Mr. Lin, excuse me for a moment!" After giving instructions to the ranch guards, Shang Xiuxun said something to Lin Fan again, and then quickly headed towards the castle at the entrance of the ranch.

"Let me go and take a look too," Lin Fan said, and followed Shang Xiuxun.

Shang Xiuxun felt warm in her heart when she saw this, but she didn't say much.

Soon, the two arrived at the castle at the entrance of Pegasus Ranch.

The guards, who were originally a little panicked, immediately calmed down when they saw Shang Xiuxun coming.

Shang Xiuxun said in a deep voice, "Have you found out who the attacking army is?"

Upon hearing this, Steward Liu Zongdao immediately reported, "We don't know their origins, but we know they are a cavalry force numbering tens of thousands, all clad in uniform fiery red armor. I'm afraid even the imperial army can't match them."

Shang Xiuxun's expression suddenly changed when she heard this.

With tens of thousands of cavalrymen, they are stronger than the Xiaoguo Army. How could they possibly defend the Pegasus Ranch?

"Wait, you just said that all the people coming were cavalry, and they were all wearing flaming red armor?"

When Lin Fan heard Liu Zongdao's words, his expression suddenly brightened.

Liu Zongdao nodded and said, "Yes."

"Ahem, Miss Shang, this may be a misunderstanding," Lin Fan said to Shang Xiuxun beside him after hearing this and coughed lightly.

Shang Xiuxun asked in confusion, "What does Master Lin mean?"

Lin Fan said, "If what Deacon Liu said is true, then this cavalry should be my army."

"What? Is that Master Lin's army?"

Shang Xiuxun and Liu Zongdao were both shocked when they heard this.

"It should be pretty close. I'll go over and take a look and confirm it." Lin Fan nodded slightly and continued, "Just in case, you guys should be prepared. I'll be back soon."

"Mr. Lin, if it wasn't your army, wouldn't it be very dangerous for you to go there?" Shang Xiuxun said worriedly when he heard that.

"Haha, thank you Miss Shang for your concern, but I still have some ability to protect myself."

Lin Fan chuckled, and then directly performed the Immortal Step, and instantly flew out from the castle defended by Pegasus Ranch.

He seemed to be strolling leisurely, but soon he disappeared from the sight of Shang Xiuxun, Liu Zongdao and others.

"I didn't expect that this Mr. Lin is actually a great master!" Liu Zongdao said in surprise as he looked at the direction where Lin Fan's back disappeared.

Shang Xiuxun's eyes flickered, and no one knew what she was thinking.

On the other side, not long after Lin Fan and Shang Xiuxun and others separated, they arrived in front of a cavalry of tens of thousands of people.

Tens of thousands of cavalrymen were spread across the wilderness, and their fiery red armor was even more eye-catching under the setting sun.

"stop!"

At the front of the cavalry, a middle-aged man with a burly figure and a resolute face saw Lin Fan coming and immediately waved his hand, signaling the army to stop.

Then, the middle-aged man jumped off his horse, quickly walked to Lin Fan, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully, "General Meng Tian, ​​I pay my respects to the Lord!"

Lin Fan stepped forward, extended his hand to help Meng Tian up, and said with a smile, "General Meng Tian, ​​there's no need to be so polite. Do you have a base now?"

Meng Tian said, "Before coming here, I had already taken Jingling City and used it as the base for my army."

"Thank you for your hard work," Lin Fan nodded slightly, and then said, "General Meng, you will leave three thousand men behind and follow me to receive the war horses."

"You take the others back to the Jingling camp first. I will rush to Jingling as soon as possible to reunite with you."

"I will obey your orders!"

Meng Tian responded respectfully, then left three thousand troops to Lin Fan and left with the others.

Lin Fan returned to Pegasus Ranch with three thousand troops.

"Mr. Lin, is this... really your army?" Shang Xiuxun had a complicated expression when he saw Lin Fan and his men coming.

Lin Fan nodded slightly. "It's my fault. I originally asked them to come and receive the war horses, but one of my generals got a little crazy and brought the entire army with him. As for the 3,000 troops left behind, they were there to receive the war horses."

Liu Zongdao and other people from Pegasus Ranch breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Lin Fan's words, and were also shocked by Lin Fan's strength.

Shang Xiuxun nodded slightly and didn't say much.

Lin Fan asked the army to build a simple camp outside, and then he and Shang Xiuxun returned to Pegasus Ranch.

After returning to the ranch and having dinner, Lin Fan took a walk along the winding path next to the ranch owner's mansion, heading deep into the back mountains...
