Chapter 15: The Horseshoe 2
"Haha, you don't have to be formal..."
Li Shimin, who was dressed in white, stood at the door and glanced at everyone with a smile, different from the last time he saw it, although King Qin's face was still a little pale this time, but a heroic spirit came out proudly.
simply stood in the crowd, the handsome Xue Shu and the domineering Chai Shao were instantly overshadowed in front of him, as if Li Shimin was a natural protagonist! Others will only be reduced to green leaves in front of him to set off him.
Because it is not a formal occasion, the etiquette is relatively simple, after seeing the ceremony, Xue Shui invited Li Shimin to take a seat, and ordered the little two who were waiting outside the door to serve the food, and Zhang Qiang, who had just recovered from a serious illness, was naturally very excited to see Li Shimin.
It can be seen that the relationship between Li Shimin and Zhang Qiang is really good, Li Shimin actually put the prepared main seat and did not sit, but sat directly on Zhang Qiang's right side, which happened to be on both sides of Zhang Qiang with Xiao Han.
The young Li Shimin may be different from the great emperor Li Shimin that Xiao Han knows, lacking the majesty of the emperor, and his concern for Zhang Qiang is overflowing, Xiao Han would rather believe that this is his true temperament, rather than an illusion like some old foxes.
Taking advantage of the time to serve the food, Li Shimin first inquired in detail about Zhang Qiang's recovery from his injury, and said that if it wasn't for the people from the Imperial Medical Department who didn't let him see the wind, he would have come to visit him a long time ago.
After all, he also knows that the current Li Shimin is no longer the second son of the petty official family, but the King of Qin in this large area, and he is still just an ordinary person.
Xiao Han listened quietly on the side this time, but in fact, under his calm expression, his heart was already as anxious as if a mouse was scratching, he counted all the knowledge that could be used in his heart, but sadly found that there was no one who could make him a blockbuster and attract attention from Li Shimin!
"Why didn't you prepare more fully in the first place?!" Xiao Han hated himself a little for grinding his guns here, and for a while, the dishes on the table lost their attraction to him.
Zhang Qiang and Li Shimin are chatting happily, this may also be the happiest time for the two of them after returning from Gaojiao, Zhang Qiang said that he wanted to show Li Shimin the arrow wound on his back that was healed by green hair, but unexpectedly pulled Li Shimin's hand, but suddenly found that Li Shimin trembled slightly, and his face was quite unnatural.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Qiang was startled, and quickly pushed the plate in front of him to the middle, pulled Li Shimin's hand to the table, lifted his sleeves, and immediately gasped.
Xiao Han was next to the two of them, and naturally saw clearly, Li Shimin's hands were not at all like a young man's hands, the palm of the tiger's mouth was covered with calluses, and the wrist was obviously bulging, as if it was twisted very seriously, and the purple and blue bags were a little oozing!
"King Qin! What's going on! ”
Chai Shao, who was sitting opposite, looked at it and was immediately shocked and angry! Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the King of Qin and the crown prince have become increasingly estranged, and at this time, the King of Qin was injured on the first day of his defeat and return to the city, so he naturally thought of other places!
As soon as Chai Shao shouted, the people who were still pushing the cup and changing the lamp immediately looked over, and when they saw the scars on Li Shimin's hands, everyone immediately gathered around, you look at me, I look at you, and their eyes are full of disbelief!
Li Shimin, the king of Qin, saw that everyone was hula-la-la, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's okay, don't make a fuss, on the way here, the white hooves lost their hooves, and the soles of their feet cracked, and I blamed them, I didn't react for a while, but fell off the horse......"
"Oh...... It's no wonder that King Qin, after all, you have just recovered from a serious illness, and the white hoof black is a rare BMW, no one would have expected it to stumble, but unfortunately, a BMW! ”
Everyone was nervous, and they were relieved to listen to Li Shimin's explanation, it was just an accident, and now the overall situation is undecided, it is really not the time to turn against the prince, but it is a pity that the white hoof is black......
Seeing that a table of people were sighing for the white hoof, only Xiao Han was a little inexplicable, how could he listen to the meaning, the horse couldn't be used if he fell?
said to Zhang Qiang next to him, but Zhang Qiang's surprised eyes were no different from looking at an alien!
"How did you become a soldier? Don't know any of this common sense? ”
"I have amnesia! It's not like you don't know! ”
Xiao Han looked at Zhang Qiang's bull's eye, and immediately pushed out the amnesia as a shield, a few days ago he was really afraid that those people always asked where his hometown was, and how many relatives there were, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense, after all, a lie needs countless lies to complete, so he simply said that he had amnesia, and pulled his master to testify, in fact, on the tragic battlefield, he was rushed by blood and evil qi, not to mention amnesia, and even went crazy directly, so Xiao Han's statement is also a good way to solve the problem.
Zhang Qiang looked at Xiao Han's righteous appearance and was suddenly helpless, so he could only pinch his nose and admit that he had amnesia and a big face!
Shaking his head, he drew a horse's hoof on the table with his hand dipped in tea, Zhang Qiang explained to Xiao Han: "Generally, horses are suitable for running on the grassland, but in the pass, the road is too hard, and there are many stones, which is easy to hurt the horse's hooves, and once the horse's hooves are cracked, they will be cultivated for half a year or even two or three years, and they will be scrapped directly!" So, this horse that fell down, alas......"
", Lao Tzu is going to be developed!!"
Unlike Zhang Qiang's shaking his head and sighing, Xiao Han heard this, and his heart was full of ecstasy that he couldn't hide, it turned out that in the Tang Dynasty, the horseshoe had not yet been invented, and his grandmother's, this was simply a sleepy pillow! It's so awesome!
Before, he was thinking about inventing a stirrup saddle to make money and spend it, but before he could say anything, a heavily armed war horse walked past Shi Shiran in front of him!
Looking at the high saddle and the copper stirrup tied to a rope, Xiao Han sweated profusely! It turns out that stirrups and saddles have been around for a long time! Fortunately, I didn't tell the old man Hua, or I had to laugh the old man to death!
Since then, the heart to engage in invention has faded, first, there is no good idea, but there is no resource, he wants to build a cannon, but who supports him? I guess if I say it, I will be regarded as crazy.
It's just that Xiao Han never expected that everything on the horse was complete, but the mystery under the horse's hooves had not yet been understood! God help me!
"Xiao Han, what's wrong?" Xue Shu, who was directly opposite, looked at Xiao Han who suddenly fell into a stupor, and asked suspiciously, he is now a little used to Xiao Han's appearance of holding on to it at every turn, after all, Xiao Han is also a strange person, how can he be called a strange person without a strange problem?
"Oh, oh. It's okay! Xiao Han, whose eyes had regained clarity, hurriedly waved his hand, drank the sour wine on his small table in one gulp, and asked hopefully: "That, why in the army, what kind of wounded horse like this white hoofed crow?"
Chai Shao didn't know why Xiao Han was asking this, but as the chief manager, he remembered these losses very clearly, and he opened his mouth to come: "Many, one out of ten!" ”
Xiao Han was overjoyed in his heart, and said cautiously: "Then, I said, I have a way to prevent or even treat this situation, do you believe it?" ”
“………”
Silence, absolute silence, for a moment, even the sound of tea dripping to the ground and falling into the blanket can be heard clearly!
"You...... Aren't you a healer? When did you also treat the horse? Zhang Qiang stared at Xiao Han with a pair of bull's eyes, with an incredible expression!
It is said that the butt determines the head, Zhang Qiang's first thought was Xiao Han's ability, but Li Shimin and Xue Shu instantly thought very far!
Fools know that the cavalry is good, but now the army is extremely short of horses, this year Li Yuan has just bought 3,000 war horses from the Turks, Li Shimin has allocated more than 1,000 horses, and they cannot be easily used until the critical moment, that is, they are afraid that they will be damaged, even so, in this period of daily marching, there are also one-tenth losses.
Li Shimin and Xue Shui present here both understood that if Xiao Han could really solve this big problem that had plagued them since the development of cavalry, then the help for them now and in the future would definitely be beyond imagination!
"You say, what? Can you solve the millennial problem of hoof loss? Xue Shu felt bitter in his mouth, and suddenly he was afraid that he had heard it wrong, so he asked again in a hoarse voice!
Xiao Han shrugged his shoulders, calmly faced the suspicious or shocked gazes around him, and said in the deepest tone of his life: "The wonderful use of all things in heaven and earth is only one mind!" If green hair can cure diseases, why can't horses' hooves become hard? ”
"Hardening?" Zhang Qiang's bull's eyes began to glow with stars, "You said you want to get medicine on the horse to make its hooves turn like iron?" ”
Xiao Han rolled his eyes, "If I had that ability, I would turn your nails into iron first!" ”
Convert the stratum corneum into steel, alas, this benevolent brother has a bigger brain hole than him!
"That's?!" A table of people stood up in unison and asked!
Xiao Han got up like a master in the world at this moment, and walked to the window under the gaze of a room of people, including the two maids with eyes like autumn water, and the cool breeze outside the window blew the sleeves of his robe, setting off the bright moon, which really had a feeling of genius floating out of the dust.
"It's easy to say, it's just late tonight, it's better to stay until tomorrow and find a few tools to show you!"
"No, this matter should not be postponed, there is King Qin here tonight, we have no taboos, you say what you lack, we will go and get it now!"
It's over, as soon as this rough voice comes out, there is no artistic conception! Xiao Han hated it, didn't see that the two chicks were fascinated by their brother, why was this wild boar so anxious?
This voice is naturally Chai Shao, as a general, knowing that the magic law is in front of him, where can he wait any longer? In fact, it's not just him, other people from the military are all the same now, all of them are as anxious as monkeys, how can there be a look of Mount Tai collapsing in front of him and not changing his face? Immediately summoned Xiao Er to get a pen and paper, no matter what Xiao Han said was true or not, they couldn't wait for a while, and they had to get an accurate answer today.
