After telling Liang Zhaoyi about Yangzhou, Zhao Yao went to change into riding clothes, took the girdle and stirrups to the racecourse. He was the first to arrive at the racecourse.
As soon as Zhao Yao walked to the stables, he heard Li Huo's dissatisfied voice: [Liar! 】
"Liar, me?" Zhao Yao pointed at himself and looked at Li Huo, who was obviously angry, doubtfully, "How can I be a liar?"
Liehuo said angrily: [You liar, you said you would come to see me often and bring me delicious food, but you didn't come even once. 】
Black Jade whispered to Zhao Yao: [Yao Yao, Lord Liehuo is very angry. 】
Zhao Yao felt a little guilty because he really forgot about this matter, but he couldn't admit it. He defended himself: "I've been very busy recently, and it's not like you don't know."
[What are you busy with as a kid? 】 Liehuo stared at Zhao Yao fiercely with his big eyes, 【You just forgot about me. 】
Black Jade said: [Yao Yao, please quickly coax Lord Liehuo. 】
"I just came back from Hulong Temple, don't you know?" Zhao Yao walked up to Li Huo and took out an apple from his arms, "If I forget you, I won't bring you an apple." After that, He handed the apple in his hand to Agni.
Looking at the apple in front of him, Lie Huo's anger decreased a little. It looked condescendingly at Zhao Yao: [Really? 】
Liehuo is tall, but the child Zhao Yao is very short in front of it.
"Of course it's true." Zhao Yao's expression looked very sincere, "How could I forget you?"
Liehuo snorted proudly: [I believe you for the time being. 】
Zhao Yao handed the apple in his hand again: "Lord Liehuo, please eat the apple as a favor."
Liehuo was very satisfied with Zhao Yao's attitude. He said very proudly: [Okay, then I will give you a reward. 】
Zhao Yao smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord Liehuo, for the compliment."
Liehuo lowered his proud head, opened his mouth and slowly ate the apple. It eats very gracefully.
Zhao Yao kept holding the apple until Li Huo finished eating it.
After Li Huo finished eating the apple, he pretended to be disgusted and said: [The apple is not sweet enough. 】
Zhao Yao shrugged and said, "No way, that's what happened to the apples I ate." It seemed that the apples he ate were not as good as Lie Huo. Suddenly he felt angry, his younger son was not treated as well as a horse. "You just have to make do."
Lie Huo said proudly: [Then I will give you my apple to eat. 】
"Okay." Zhao Yao said with a smile, "Lihuo, thank you."
[What’s the matter? I eat a lot every day. 】
Zhao Yao said with some sourness: "Father treats you better than he treats me."
[I am my master’s best war horse. 】 Liehuo said with pride in his tone, "I once saved the master's life, so the master is naturally good to me." 】
Seeing Li Huo's sultry look, Zhao Yao cooperated with it and said: "It's really awesome!"
Liehuo was pleased by Zhao Yao's words, with an expression that said, "I guess you know the truth."
Zhao Yao raised his hand to touch Liehuo's face, and Liehuo lowered his head so that Zhao Yao could touch its face.
[For the sake of you giving me the apple, I reluctantly let you touch it. 】
Zhao Yao deliberately teased Li Huo: "Just for a moment?"
[If you want to make more molds, you can. 】 Liehuo said proudly, 【I am very generous. 】
Zhao Yao held back his laughter and reached out to touch Li Huo's face.
Liehuo felt very comfortable being touched, with an expression of enjoyment on his face.
Black Jade on the side smiled in his heart: [Lord Liehuo obviously likes Yaoyao, but he deliberately pretends to be reluctant. 】
"I'm going to find Black Jade." Zhao Yao took back his hand.
When Liehuo heard this, he was unhappy again: [Am I not good? 】
"You are very good, but I can't ride you because you are my father's horse." Zhao Yao said, "I told you before."
Liehuo snorted coldly: [Who let you ride? 】
Zhao Yao smiled, walked up to Heiyu, and whispered to Heiyu: "Heiyu, I'm sorry, I brought that apple to you just now. I didn't expect Liehuo to be angry, so I had to give him the apple to eat." .”
Black Jade said nonchalantly: [It's okay, Yaoyao. 】
"When I get out of school, I'll give you an apple to eat."
【good. ] Black Jade stretched out his tongue and licked Zhao Yao's face.
When Liehuo saw this scene, he felt jealous and regretful at the same time. It actually forgot to lick Yaoyao just now.
It thought in its heart: Yaoyao must really hope that I can lick his face. I lick his face and he will be very happy.
[Hey, come here. 】 Liehuo suddenly shouted.
Zhao Yao was puzzled for a moment, and then walked back to Li Huo.
"What's wrong?"
Lie Huo lowered his head, stretched out his tongue and licked Zhao Yao's face.
Zhao Yao was stunned when his face was suddenly licked.
Liehuo deliberately licked a few more times than Black Jade. After licking it, he said proudly: [No need to thank me. 】
Zhao Yao found it funny: "Then I won't thank you." After saying that, he left.
Li Huo immediately opened his mouth and bit the clothes on Zhao Yao's back, and said with some dissatisfaction: [Why are you leaving? 】
Zhao Yao looked at her in confusion: "Can't I leave?"
Liehuo said angrily: [As a courtesy, you have to kiss me. 】He just kissed Black Jade.
Reciprocity?
Liehuo knows a lot.
The black jade on the side quickly lowered its head to prevent Li Huo from noticing that it was smiling.
Zhao Yao kissed Li Huo's face hard several times, "Is it okay?"
Lie Huo also deliberately counted them, and there were more than Qin Heiyu. It was extremely satisfied.
【That’s it. 】
Zhao Yao didn't expect Lie Huo to be so competitive. He returned to Black Yu again, took it out of the stable, and tied the jade belt and stirrups to Black Yu together with Tongxi.
Liehuo asked curiously: [What are you doing? Why did you hang two iron rings on Black Jade's body? 】
Zhao Yao smiled and said: "It's for mounting the horse, and you can also step on your feet." After saying that, he stepped on the stirrup with his right foot, then jumped onto the horse's back with all his strength, and then stepped on the stirrup with both feet.
Liehuo was very smart. After seeing Zhao Yao's movement on the horse, he understood the role of the two iron rings.
[It turns out that iron rings can still be used in this way. 】
"Black Jade, let's go."
Black Jade carried Zhao Yao on his back and ran around the racecourse.
At this time, Mr. Yang Dong, who taught Zhao Yao and the others how to ride, came to the racecourse.
He saw that only Zhao Yao had arrived, and the other princes had not arrived yet, so he just watched from the side. When he saw Zhao Yao's feet stepping on two things, his eyes widened in shock.
Yang Dong was General Jianwei and was good at riding horses. On weekdays, in addition to teaching his disciples to ride horses, he also teaches other soldiers to ride horses. Therefore, he could see the function of what Zhao Yao stepped on at a glance.
Zhao Yao rode up to Yang Dong on black jade and greeted him: "Sir."
Yang Dong looked carefully at what Zhao Yao was stepping on, which looked like iron rings and seemed to be tied to the horse.
"Your Highness, what is that thing you are stepping on?"
Zhao Yao pretended to be innocent and said: "This is something I made for stepping on your feet. It will be very convenient to get on the horse and sit on the horse well."
Yang Dong calmed down and said, "Your Highness, can I take a look?"
"Okay." Zhao Yao jumped off the horse.
Yang Dong walked up to Heiyu and took a serious look at the thing Zhao Yao had made to step on.
These two iron hoop-like things are very simple, but they are very effective.
They were tied on either side of the horse's belly as if with a strap.
This is a good thing!
With it, not only is it convenient to get on the horse, but it is also safe to sit on the horse. The most important thing is to step on it while riding a horse. Not only can you sit firmly on the horse's back, but you can also wield the weapon in your hand better.
"Your Highness, how did you come up with this idea?"
"I'm young and it's easy to fall off the horse when I'm sitting on it. I just thought that if I had something to put my feet on, I wouldn't fall off the horse."
With these two iron ring-like things, the cavalry's combat capabilities will be greatly improved.
"Your Highness, does the emperor know?"
"I don't know, I didn't tell my father."
These two things must be told to the emperor and mounted on every horse.
"Your Highness, these two things you made are good things and have great effect. We must tell the emperor."
Zhao Yao tilted his little head and said unclearly: "A big effect?"
"I will tell you later. Now let's go find the emperor."
"good."
Yang Dong told the eunuch at the racecourse that when the third prince and his companions arrived later, he would let them train first.
Zhao Yao followed Yang Dong to the door of the imperial study.
Emperor Wu of Zhou was reviewing the memorial. When he saw Yang Dong coming to him with an excited expression, he hurriedly asked him what was wrong.
Yang Dong told Emperor Zhou Wu about the two things that Zhao Yao made that looked like iron rings.
After hearing this, Emperor Wu of Zhou stood up suddenly and hurriedly walked out of the imperial study.
At a glance, he saw something next to the belly of the horse held by Zhao Yao.
Like Yang Dong, Emperor Wu of Zhou knew the function of the thing hanging next to the horse's belly just by looking at it.
Zhao Yao saluted Emperor Zhou Wu: "I have met my father."
Emperor Zhou Wu walked up to Zhao Yao and looked a little excited: "Let me try."
Zhao Yao obeyed and stepped aside obediently.
Emperor Wu of Zhou stepped on the stirrup and got on the horse very easily.
Because the stirrups were made according to the size of Zhao Yao's feet, they were a bit too small for Emperor Wu of Zhou.
Emperor Wu of Zhou stepped hard on the stirrups with both feet, and then he maintained this position and let Black Jade run.
Putting his feet on the stirrups, Emperor Wu of Zhou found that they were very stable. Even if you don't have to hold on to the leash, you don't have to worry about falling off the horse.
Emperor Wu of Zhou slapped Heiyu on the butt, and Heiyu ran faster. Emperor Zhou Wu still stood firm.
After running for a while, Emperor Zhou Wu stopped.
"Xiao Shi, did you make these two things?"
"I did it. I named them stirrups. It will be much easier to get on and ride the horse..." Before Zhao Yao could finish his words, he was picked up by Emperor Wu of Zhou.
Emperor Wu of Zhou laughed loudly and said: "As expected of my son!"
Zhao Yao looked like he didn't understand why Emperor Zhou Wu was suddenly so happy, but in his heart he was madly complaining about Emperor Zhou Wu. When you think he is stupid, just say he is not like him. Now that I see him making something as useful as stirrups, I say he is his son.
The stinky father is really shameless.
Emperor Wu of Zhou held Zhao Yao in his arms and rubbed Zhao Yao's little head and face vigorously.
"Xiao Shi, you made a good thing."
Yang Dong said from the side: "His Royal Highness is so smart."
Zhao Yao still didn't seem to understand what happened, and blinked blankly.
Emperor Wu of Zhou put down Zhao Yao and ordered Sun Kui: "Take Xiao Shi down for snacks."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Father, my horse..."
"Lend your horse to Father first, and Father will return it to you later."
"All right."
Zhao Yao was taken to have snacks by Sun Kui.
Emperor Wu of Zhou asked Yang Dong to call Zhang Gong and others, and asked Sun Doudou to call Shang Fanling's people.
Zhang Gong and the others soon arrived at the door of the royal study. When they saw the stirrups, they looked very excited and kept saying, "This is a good thing."
Knowing that these two iron ring-like things were called stirrups, Zhang Gong and the others thought it was very appropriate.
Zhao Yao: My acting skills are pretty good, right (akimbo jpg)!
