The horse didn't kick Huo Qubing in the face, but he got punched. He suffered a heavy loss and missed the hit. He raised his hoof again, as fast as chasing the wind, and kicked more than ten times in a row, causing an ear-splitting sound in the air.
Huo Qubing gave off a military aura, and the surrounding area seemed to have turned into a battlefield, with swords clanging and murderous intent overflowing.
The horse's hooves kicked over, as if affected by an invisible force, and no one could touch him.
The horse snorted, still angry, but it closed its hooves and stared at Huo Qubing angrily.
It learned from every experience, and this time it kept facing Huo Qubing with its horse's face, not giving him a chance to 'sneak attack' again.
"I can take you out and find you a little mare in the future, how about that?" Huo Qubing spoke in a teasing tone.
The horse's long face actually showed a humanistic look, as if it wasn't interested in the mare at all.
Huo Qubing asked the horseherd not far away: "Is this horse just two years old?"
The horse herder was a chamberlain in his thirties, wearing a yellow-brown Hanfu. He smiled and said, "Shit Huo has a good eye. Your Majesty gave this horse the name Jin'an. It is still a month shy of two years old."
Huo Qubing smiled and said, "No wonder, it's still a pony."
The young horse does not know how good the mare is, and mistakes running for treasure.
"Hey!" The horse snorted again, squinting its eyes with an arrogant expression.
Emperor Liu Che had a good literary talent, and many of his poems and poems were passed down to later generations. The name Jin'an comes from the Tianma Song he wrote.
At this moment, Huo Qubing suddenly mobilized the power of the soul Soaring Snake, spreading out like a tidal wave. There were horses in the distance that were frightened and restless, but the horse in front of me was the only one who could keep his balance.
There was fear in his horse's eyes, but not overly fear.
Huo Qubing made sudden moves twice to test whether the horse was suitable for use as a war horse.
If there is a battlefield confrontation, this horse will definitely be attacked a lot, and the test results are quite satisfactory.
He turned to use the power of his soul to comfort him, and the fear in Ma's eyes gradually disappeared.
When Huo Qubing turned around and left, the horse hesitated for a moment, then followed suit and followed him outside the racecourse.
It didn't matter whether this horse was the sacred horse from the Western Regions, Huo Qubing wanted it.
"Dong's Chamberlain, please report back to Your Majesty. I have chosen a horse and will take it out for a ride." Huo Qubing said.
Horse hooves, horseshoes and other items are all available in Jinan.
There were no stirrups and other equipment in the Han Dynasty, but the appearance of the First Emperor in this world promoted many changes.
Jin'an's horseshoe is made of bronze, with complex incantations engraved on it, and an imperceptible halo of light flowing around it.
"This is a horse iron with a secret pattern left over from the previous dynasty. It can increase the protection of the horse's leg ankle bones and prevent the horse's feet from falling into the pit." After leaving the palace, Huo Qubing checked the harness, then got on the horse and patted the horse's head. Today, An then walked out of the city in small steps.
Weiyang Palace.
In the study, Dong Xu came back and reported: "Your Majesty, has Huo Shizhong chosen the horse?"
"Which one did you choose?"
"Jin'an, whose fur is green."
"Huo Shizhong punched the horse in the waist... The man and the horse had a brief fight, and then the horse left with Huo Shizhong." Dong Xu said.
Liu Che smiled and said: "I guess he will choose Jin'an. That horse has the best endurance and can run thousands of miles without stopping. It has the blood of ancient strange beasts. There are two hearts growing in its belly, and its blood is rushing. Wait for it. When he reaches two years old, his body will still change, and his qualifications will surpass that of the remaining sun-chasing horse in the palace."
…
Huo Qubing rode Jin'an all the way, which attracted many people's attention on the road, seeing such a tall and mighty horse.
The moment he left the city, Jinan neighed loudly, raised his hooves and ran away.
Not only did it run very fast, but its hooves hit the ground like thunder. The ground actually exploded into shallow pits with an astonishing momentum.
The people at the city gate blinked, and the horse had turned into a black spot, galloping like lightning.
Huo Qubing was as steady as a rock on the horse, and his heart felt very happy.
It wasn't until the evening of that day that one person and one horse returned to Chang'an.
Jin'an ran all afternoon and didn't feel much tired, but seemed very excited.
After returning to the city, it took Huo Qubing to Changle Palace.
The fiery sunset hangs in the sky, and the scene is magnificent, just like the woman sitting opposite Huo Qubing.
In the Changding Hall, Princess Liu Qing of the Han Dynasty sat in the main seat.
Before Huo Qubing arrived, she was reading a simple book, with one hand on the low mat and her chin in her palm.
She was wearing a moon-white long skirt, which was made of simple and soft material. Unlike a coat, she seemed to have just taken a bath and was wearing casual clothes. She pulled her long hair into a bun and passed it through with a wooden hairpin. A few strands of hair hung down by her crystal ears.
The bathed cheeks are delicate, and the black hair and white skin form a strong visual contrast.
Huo Qubing said: "I rode out of the city this afternoon and came back late. Because the battle with the Xiongnu was about to begin, I came to visit the princess even after sunset. I want to know the progress of the refining of Midan!"
Liu Qing adjusted his posture slightly, and his inadvertent movement made the Hanfu on the front become noticeably tighter, taller and more dazzling.
"I have tried Midan, and it is not difficult to refine it."
Liu Qing took a silk book from the side and said, "I also have something to do."
"I went to the Queen's Jiaofang Palace this morning. I heard that Huo Shizhong had predicted the purpose of the Huns' mission in advance and rushed thousands of miles to defeat the Huns' plan."
She pointed to the silk book in front of her: "This is the Nine Star Chart passed down from the Spring and Autumn Period. It is a treasure of my sect. It contains a mysterious thing of my Taoism, which is very important to me.
This picture shows a nine-star connected formation. A great sage once said that military strategists may try to solve it before they can see the true content of the picture.
Please help me look at this nine-star chart. "
Huo Qubing took the silk book and took out a bronze long-necked vial.
Among the things Liu Che had given him before, apart from the horses, there were also a few artifacts, all of which were rare.
This bottle contains the blood of a spiritual beast, an excellent alchemy material.
The Seven Yin Talisman Techniques of the Meridian obtained by Huo Qubing can help the Soaring Snake Yuanshen grow faster. One of the methods is to use the blood of the corresponding spirit beast as the main ingredient to make elixirs and feed them as bait to boost the energy and nourish the Yuanshen.
Since Liu Qing also asked him for something, they would work for each other.
Liu Qing blinked and looked at the vial, picked it up, opened the bottle and smelled it: "The ancient scrolls of the South China Sea record that there are spiritual beings swallowing the essence of the sun, moon and sea water thousands of feet deep under the sea, and it takes hundreds of years to cultivate it into a drop of aura. .
Are you using the spiritual blood of sea beasts from the depths of the South China Sea to make elixirs? "
The secret reconnaissance system under Liu Che is subdivided into two branches: secret reconnaissance and secret guards, both of which are under the control of Ru Bohu. The secret reconnaissance is responsible for detection and the secret guards are responsible for execution.
Another duty of the secret guard is to explore many strange things.
Most of these things beyond ordinary people's cognition were collected by the secret guards for Liu Che.
"Given by Your Majesty, I want to refine a pill that can nourish my spiritual consciousness."
Liu Qing smiled and said, "Then wait until Huo Shizhong performs the nine-star diagram, and then come and get the medicine."
Huo Qubing: "The result of this picture can be deduced in one night. Can the princess refine the elixir tomorrow?"
Liu Qing frowned: "The Nine Star Diagram has been passed down in my school for a long time. I came to you to try it. Huo Shizhong said it too full of words. What if I can't figure it out tomorrow?"
It wasn't that she doubted Huo Qubing, but that she lacked confidence.
The Nine Star Chart has been passed down in her sect for many years, and she has consulted many masters in order to obtain the secrets within it, but has always been unable to fully succeed.
Liu Qingdao: "This picture is three arrays connected in series. On the surface, it is just the first layer. When you unravel it, there will be a second layer, and a third layer, which are connected in series. The difficulty increases twice as much with each additional layer.
We have been studying for many years, but it is useless to unlock the first layer. I am afraid Huo Shizhong did not see the secret. "
Huo Qubing stood up and said, "Then I'll take it back and take a look first."
Before he left, he saw the big cat jumping in from the window with a small dried fish in its mouth. It looked very happy.
Huo Qubing said, "Will you go home today?"
The big cat shook his head at first, and then suddenly became a little surprised and uncertain, with an expression that scared the dried fish off his face, and ran to Huo Qubing's body to smell it up and down.
Huo Qubing said goodbye and left. He immediately jumped up to his room and followed behind him.
