Chapter 42 Unintentionally planting willows and planting flowers

Wang Yongan looked back, and there was a group of people in the dark, surrounded by two noble children of the Heavenly Family.

"See His Royal Highness the King of Jin and Princess Jinyang." Wang Yongan hurriedly put down the horse's hooves and bowed down.

"No need to be polite, this king and his sister have come to the stable." Don't look at the fact that he is only eight or nine years old, Li Zhi speaks with a straight eye and a princely demeanor.

"Brother Jiu, the sole of this horse is injured, so pitiful." Princess Jinyang's big eyes were still staring at the worn horses' hooves.

"Why does this horse's hooves hurt?" Li Zhi also asked curiously.

Wang Yongan bowed and said: "Back to the King of Jin, Her Royal Highness the Princess, this horse has been following the villain for a long time, this time from Chang'an to Luoyang, the day before yesterday galloped to Huaiyang to welcome the divine doctor, long-distance galloping, plus the road is not smooth, so the horse's hooves are more worn. ”

Xie Yi took the opportunity to say: "His Royal Highness King Jin, you want to ride a horse, don't you know if these things can be done?" ”

"yes!" Li Zhi nodded, turned to Wang Yongan and said, "It's a pity for this horse, then you can change to a mount!" ”

"Yes, villain obeys." Wang Yongan nodded lightly, seemingly very reluctant.

Even the four-year-old Princess Jinyang saw it, and said softly: "Brother Jiu, he seems to be reluctant to ...... this horse."

Wang Yongan sighed: "Don't hide it from Her Royal Highness the Princess, this horse has been following the villain for a long time, and it is a little reluctant." It's just that the wear and tear of horses' hooves is a common thing, and countless war horses are eliminated in the army every year, which is inevitable. ”

Li Zhi asked curiously, "Will all horses be like this?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, if you cherish the horsepower, it won't be a big problem. But every time there is a war, a long-distance attack, rushing to kill and gallop to help is inevitable, and the horse's hooves are worn out most strictly at that time, which is also the reason why after each major war, a large number of military horses are missing. Wang Yongan told the truth.

Li Zhi's face was expressionless, and he fell into deep thought.

"The horse's foot is hurt, it's so pitiful...... Can you keep Brother Jiu's forehead from piping hot, and make the soles of the horse's feet well? Princess Jinyang on the side was in tears, and suddenly grabbed the corner of Xie Yi's clothes.

"This ......"

Wang Yongan glanced at Xie Yi sympathetically, and said softly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, all horses are like this, from ancient times to the present, there is no way to change. ”

"Didn't you? Poor horses! Princess Jinyang had red eyes, her innocent heart was extremely kind, and she had just finished worrying about her brother, and she began to worry about the horse's hooves again.

Alas! Looking at the little princess with hazy eyes in her eyes, who can bear to hurt her innocent heart?

Xie Yi squatted down and said softly: "Since the princess thinks the horse is pitiful, then put shoes on it, and the soles of its feet will not be injured." ”

Belch......

Wang Yongan couldn't help but have black lines on his head, thank the divine doctor for not being disciplined in order to coax the princess, right? It's not good to talk about it, and it's not funny to put shoes on horses!

"Well, horses are like sons, they put on their shoes and walk without pain in their feet." The innocent and lovely Princess Jinyang immediately agreed.

At this time, even Li Zhi, the king of Jin, was a little uneasy, and said leisurely: "How do horses wear shoes?" ”

"Does His Royal Highness King Jin think it's feasible?" Xie Yi asked with interest.

Li Zhi hesitated: "This... I don't think so, but since you say so, maybe ...... I hope you don't lie to my sister. ”

Xie Yi said step by step: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, why don't we explore and give it a try for the sake of His Royal Highness the Princess's little wish?" ”

"Okay!" Li Zhi's voice in reply was not loud, obviously not confident. In fact, except for Princess Jinyang clapping her little hands and applauding, everyone else's faces were ugly, is Doctor Xie crazy? The joke was too big.

Xie Yi smiled and said, "Okay, Your Highness, let's analyze first, what kind of shoes do horses need?" ”

"This... The injury is the horse's shoe, and the most important thing is definitely the sole, but it's just ......" Li Zhi shook his head and said: "Whether it is cloth shoes or leather boots, if they are placed under the horse's hooves, they will break if they can't run far, and they are useless!" ”

Xie Yi nodded approvingly: "Your Highness is right, the important thing is that the soles of the shoes, the cloth and leather will break, so how about changing to iron?" ”

"How can I wear iron shoes? Hard and cold...... "Li Zhi didn't think much about it, and immediately vetoed it."

"Your Highness, don't jump to conclusions, how about trying it with your ministers?" Xie Yi smiled, turned around and asked Wang Yongan, "Where can I make iron tools in the palace?" ”

"Ironware? There is a stove in the Praetorian Guard camp, which is usually used to mend weapons, not far from here. ”

Wang Yongan looked at Xie Yi's back with unbelievable eyes, and a voice involuntarily popped up in his heart: Can he really put shoes on horses?

Li Zhi and Jin Yang followed Xie Yi to the stove, and saw the king of Jin and the princess, all the soldiers and craftsmen were respectful and listened to the instructions.

After Xie Yi drew a pattern on the drawing, he handed it to the craftsman and instructed: "Quickly create it according to this pattern." ”

The name of the man in Huaiyang County is not loud enough, but there is the signboard of Li Zhi, the king of Jin, Xie Yi takes advantage of the situation to "fox fake tiger might", and the craftsman naturally does not dare to disobey and slack.

"People who don't have long beards, do you make shoes on horses?" Princess Jinyang's tone was chic and cute.

Li Zhi, the king of Jin, said suspiciously: "Really? ”

Xie Yi smiled lightly; "Isn't Your Highness exploring with your ministers, maybe there will be surprises after a while."

"Okay!"

Fortunately, the speed of the craftsman was very fast, and he did not dare to delay, and in a short time several horseshoe-shaped ring-shaped iron pieces were built. Xie Yi asked for some iron nails that were comparable to them, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, His Royal Highness the Princess, let's go and put shoes on the horses!" ”

Are these horses' shoes? The craftsman who built it was suddenly drenched in a cold sweat, as if he had become an accomplice in the "horse homicide", and he felt guilty.

Princess Jinyang was naturally elated, and Li Zhi was ignited with curiosity and wanted to find out. So the group returned to the stables again.

"Find a horse and try it!"

Hearing this, Wang Yongan subconsciously protected his beloved mount behind him, not wanting to participate in this terrifying reality full of risks.

"I'm tired of finding another horse." Xie Yi is very humane and doesn't want to be forced, but don't regret it when the time comes.

"Good!" Wang Yongan had no choice but to find another ownerless horse, and the horse's hooves also had a certain degree of wear and tear.

Xie Yi immediately asked Wang Yongan to control the horses, or personally nailed the horseshoe to the horse's hooves. In the process, he was cautious, and at any time he was on guard against the horse's hooves flying up and kicking himself, hurting his handsome face, as well as the majestic image in the heart of the prince and princess, it would be bad.

Princess Jinyang looked at Xie Yi's actions and said in surprise: "You put nails on the soles of the horses' feet, you are ...... bad"

Belch......

The little princess was really kind, Xie Yi hurriedly explained: "Your Royal Highness the princess, don't worry, let's take a look first, does the horse hurt?" ”

Princess Jinyang looked up at the horse at this time, there was no neighing, no screaming, it didn't seem to hurt, how strange! The soles of my feet hurt when I pad them, and don't the soles of my horses' feet hurt when they have nails in them?

Xie Yi faced a questioning gaze, and after calmly nailing the horseshoe, he smiled at Wang Yongan and said, "Have Your Excellency Lao try to ride a horse?" ”

"Okay!" Wang Yongan was suspicious, and turned on his horse with some trepidation, ready to be frightened at any time.

Outcome......

No, as usual, the mount walked back and forth outside the stable with small steps without any discomfort. And Wang Yongan still has a feeling, as if the mount is walking more steadily, the four hooves are more powerful, the horse is slowing down, and the whip is galloping.

Turned over and dismounted, and then saw that the horse's hooves did not directly step on the ground, what really touched the ground was the small piece of iron, and the horse's shoes were not worn, so to speak......

Wang Yongan's eyes widened, and he looked at the iron piece with some incredulity, his eyes full of surprise.

Xie Yi smiled faintly, his eyes fell on Li Zhi and Princess Jinyang, and the brother and sister also widened their eyes, a little surprised, but also extremely excited.

So good, this is considered to be unintentionally planting willows and planting flowers. Judging from the current situation, the results are remarkable, the significance is heavy, the green willows are shady, and the purple and red are just around the corner.
