"It's okay if it's an ordinary horse, but a war horse needs to run and attack, which consumes the horse's hooves. If there is a year-round war, a war horse can be used for three years at most."
"But once this horseshoe is used, I asked the grooms in the army and it will last for at least ten years. This will greatly save military expenses. It's incredible."
"Young Master Zhao is a great military talent!"
Hearing that his favorite son was praised by Zhou Qi, even with the dignity of a king, he couldn't help but smile, "What about the stirrups?"
Zhou Qi said, "Your Majesty, after equipping you with stirrups, the cavalry's combat power will at least double. To be honest, I can't help but want to have a chance encounter with the Huns."
"I didn't expect that among my sons, Zhao'er is the one who hides the deepest. Zhou Qi, let Tian Zong protect Zhao'er, and leave my son to the Yuntong County side. I want to take a look. , how big a wave he can make."
"Your Majesty, I forgive my words. The situation in Shangguo is unpredictable, but the national treasury is in dire straits and may not be able to afford the military expenses for the war~~~!"
"I understand, go down."
"Farewell, Your Majesty!"
The king looked full of hair, but he was actually only in his fifties. Looking towards the south, his eyes were filled with anger, but also with a hint of helplessness.
Yuntong City, mansion!
The slaves started to light a fire to cook. Fortunately, Qin Xiangru had trained them. After getting used to stir-frying in iron pots, stews always felt lacking in oil and flavor. Of course, Xia Guo also liked barbecue, but it was not a problem to eat barbecue every day. .
"Zhiyu, Yang Gan, how long have you been holding the stone?" Fujiko Jin, who had just returned from a busy job, saw Yang Gan holding the stone and doing toad jumps. He was immediately confused. This stone lock is very heavy. He can use it. No, how strong is this kid?
Zhou Zhiyu pursed her lips and shook her head, "I really admire Yang Qian. He is born with supernatural power. Even a strong man might not be able to hold on to such a heavy stone lock for even one stick of incense."
A flash of light flashed in the azure eyes. Yang Gan behaved like this at first, but as time went by, seeing how determined he was, Krisna's heart seemed to beat a little more.
"Krisna, this man's power is incredible."
"Such a man is really charming." Krisna was a little mesmerized. Although Yang Gan took off his clothes, his body was thin and his arms were like numb poles, but there seemed to be endless power in his body, which was incredibly strong.
Belika was stunned for a moment, "Krisna, what did you just say?"
"I didn't say anything. You heard me wrong." Krisna seemed to have thought of something and instinctively denied it.
When the words came out, she didn't even believe it. She was such a proud person, but she didn't even bother to lie.
When the last ray of sunlight disappeared, Yang Qian gently put down the stone lock, his hands and feet trembling constantly. Not only did he not feel relieved, but he felt a sense of soreness and swelling after working out. It was very refreshing and addictive.
"Yang Qian, you are getting more and more powerful. In the future, as long as you take the field in the war, you will be fine." Fujiko Jin saw his good brother so powerful and was not jealous. On the contrary, he was happy for him.
Rubbing the muscles on his body that were settling accounts, Fujiko Jin's words pulled Yang Qian out of the illusory sense of power.
"Hey, we have such a good relationship, you don't have to hurt me."
Fujiko Jin frowned, "I'm not harming you, I'm praising you."
"The most important thing for a strong person to remember is how much he weighs, not the boss or you. When you see an enemy, you rush over to them. Such idiots will die the fastest."
Fujiko Jin suddenly realized that he thought of the Huns' cavalry and instantly shuddered, mainly because Yang Gan's performance was so eye-catching.
"Let's go eat, I'm starving." Yang Xuan greeted everyone with a smile. As soon as he lifted his leg, his body seemed to have lost control. In his mind, he had moved, but in fact, the other leg did not lift at all. He's about to fall down.
At this time, a tall figure quickly came to Yang Gan and hugged him. Everyone panicked, wondering if they had exercised too much.
"Sister, there won't be anything wrong with Yang Qian."
Fujiko Yun showed a thoughtful expression, "I think those two women are very nervous about him. They probably don't want to harm Yang Gan, they definitely want to help him."
"Go get them the medicinal oil." Zhou Zhiyu was also worried about Yang Gan.
"Okay little girl."
At this time, Fujiko Jin came over humbly and joked, "Zhiyu, are you attracted to Yang Gan? You are so attentive."
Zhou Zhiyu's expression remained normal and she smiled and said, "Yang Qian and I are just good friends. There is no love between men and women. I believe he thinks so too."
"Why, I think you two are a good match for your talents and looks." Although Zhou Zhiyu did not explain her family background, from her dressing sense and the like, she could tell at a glance that she was the daughter of a noble lady.
So Fujiko Susumu thinks what the two of them have. As for his sister, haha, it is impossible for a royal family member to marry a merchant's daughter, not even as a concubine. They are of the right family, and the merchant's family usually marries a merchant.
Krisna took the porcelain bottle handed over by the maid and was stunned. She didn't understand what it was. When the maid demonstrated the action, she immediately understood that the medicinal materials used by the soldiers in her hometown should be the same after they were injured.
Krisna and Belika quickly took off Yang Gan's clothes and trousers, and then applied the liquid on his body.
Their techniques were very special. They almost targeted the key points of the muscles. As soon as they touched them, Krisna understood that Yang Qian had muscle cramps all over his body, which must have been caused by excessive exertion.
"Krisna, what is he talking about?" Seeing Yang Qian keep saying this, Belika couldn't understand it after all.
Krisna pursed her lips, "Can't you understand from the time I was arrested to now? People in this country are very conservative. Almost all men and women on the street are wearing coats, and it's summer now."
"We will do the same in the future, otherwise we will be ostracized by the people around us."
"Okay, but it's really hot."
"Hahahaha, Krisna, look, he's also showing his teeth. He looks quite cute."
Belika was stunned. It seemed like that was the case. This was far different from their hometown. Due to the climate, summers were very hot in their hometown, and almost all men and women wore very revealing clothes.
Even when bathing by the river, young women will take off their clothes and only wrap their lower bodies with cloth. Looking back here, it seems to be the opposite of what they were in their hometown.
"You, what are you doing?"
"Don't take off my clothes."
"I'm warning you, don't touch it, you bastards, you can't touch it there."
"This, is this a gas push?"
...
"...so comfortable~~~!"
Yang Gan, who looked ferocious just now and showed his teeth fiercely, was stunned for a moment. The tight feeling in his body gradually receded, followed by the relaxation of his muscles, and he groaned unconsciously.
After a while, Yang Qian lay in the bathtub like a dead pig. The heat in his body gradually dissipated. Instead, the cold water in the bathtub turned into warm water.
"Master~~~!"
Qin Xiangru walked in with a bad look on her face, still carrying food.
"Oh? What else are you doing here? What you need now is to take a good rest."
Qin Xiangru bit her lip, "Sir, those two barbarian women don't understand etiquette at all. Otherwise, drive them away."
"Why?" Yang Ganqi asked, "Do you think I won't treat you well if they come?"
"The servants don't dare. They are still barbarians, do not understand human language, and do not accept education. If the news is passed back to the court, it may be detrimental to the reputation of the young master."
"Hahahaha, do I still have a reputation? Anyone who hears my name along the way will avoid me as if they have stepped on cow shit. Let's forget it. I think it's good to call me Yang Qian."
Qin Xiangru didn't say much. As a personal maid, for her to suggest Yang Qian like this was already an overstep. If she suggested it forcefully, it would be ungrateful.
Slowly walked behind Yang Gan and started massaging him.
"I will stay here for a while. After I go to the military camp, do you know how to take good care of me?"
"Xiangru understands."
Finally, the muscles were no longer tense, and Yang Qian began to eat. In fact, it was hard to understand that Qin Xiangru was forced to take this elixir because of her poor physical condition.
It is not only useless but harmful, but the two barbarian women did not have any muscle cramps or spasms after taking it. How could it happen to me that it only adds to the trouble?
He wiped his face with water and looked at his small hands, "Is it because you are too young?"
Yang Gan's expression suddenly changed, "It won't affect your growth, right? What if you grow into three inches in the future?"
"As long as you grow up, let's wait and see if you can survive. This world is not fun at all."
After eating, everyone took a shower and went to bed. It was summer, so taking a cold shower was no problem, and almost every wing was equipped with a bathtub.
If you love cleanliness, everyone living in this mansion should also love cleanliness. In this way, the air can be fresh. Otherwise, if you clean yourself alone and everyone else smells bad, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the scenery?
After sending Qin Xiangru to bed, Yang Qian fell asleep in the bathtub. The water was just the right temperature and his body was not straining at all.
I don’t know how long it took.
"Click~~!"
"Idiot, step in the middle of the tiles, otherwise they will break easily."
"Sir, I won't dare to do it next time."
"What a big house. Where is the target?"
"This is a mansion. The master must be sleeping in the inner hall. This time he needs to be silenced. No one in the entire mansion will be left alive."
"Okay~~~ I observed for a while. There is a man in the right wing, but not in the left wing. Let's clear out the left wing first and make a quick decision."
"As you command, sir."
In the left side room, Krisna and Belika put on their armor, held shields on their left and right, and held spears in their right hands. They were ready for battle. No matter how strong or weak their opponents were, they would never retreat. They would only attack, attack, and attack again.
The candles had been extinguished long ago, and the moonlight was pretty good today, so he didn't light the candles again. Yang Qian looked at the few creeping figures outside in confusion, confused by the wind.
