Chapter 8 The First Artifact of Piercing the Ancients

Accompanied by Zhen Youcai, a partner who has been in the East Market all the year round, Huo Guang quickly bought a horse that was considered the best in the East Market. However, due to the shortage of war horses in recent years, it is difficult for the people to see war horses buying horses, and the horse that Huo Guang bought is just a ploughing horse. But Rao is so, and he also paid a price of tens of thousands of dollars for this horse Huoguang. It can also be seen that during the war between Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu, the price of horses had risen to an outrageous level.

"Youcai, I will leave Pingyang in a few days, and when the time comes, you will come to my house to lead this horse, and this horseback riding kung fu must be practiced as soon as possible!" Huo Guang unabashedly solicited, if Huo Guang needed to be cautious everywhere in his words and deeds, it would be a matter for the future. Now he is just an inconspicuous child, and no one pays attention to him, so Huo Guang doesn't have to worry about anything at all at this moment.

Zhen Youcai really didn't expect Huo Guang to give this good horse to himself, but he knew that this horse was worth tens of thousands of dollars, and so much money would be worth it if his father had to sell dog meat for more than ten years. In this period when horses are important war resources, even the worst horse is not something that ordinary people can have, and a horse can definitely be regarded as a luxury car for future generations.

"This ...... It's too expensive, I don't dare to ask for it! Besides, it's not easy to feed a horse, and our family can't afford it! Zhen Youcai's heart was shocked, and to be honest, he wanted it too, but as he said, the cost of feeding the horses was also a problem.

"It's not easy, I'll go home and order, this horse is kept in the manor, you can go whenever you want to ride." As soon as Huo Guang heard it, Zhen Youcai's words also made sense, but this is also a trivial matter, don't talk about a horse now, even raising a hundred horses is not a problem, this problem is very easy to solve. And in this way, it will not be too ostentatious, and the sudden appearance of a horse in Zhen Youcai's family is indeed a trouble for a small family like them with no background.

"Ah Guang, don't say anything, if you have any orders in the future, I just listen to you." Zhen Youcai is not stupid, and teenage children also understand many things. With Huo Guang's current identity, he still treats himself like this, so ordinary people like himself can only follow Huo Guang wholeheartedly.

"Hehe, you and I grew up together, you are my most trusted person, rest assured that even if I go to Chang'an in the future, I will let you enjoy the glory and wealth with me." Huo Guang's words are very straightforward, and they are completely like the words of righteousness among children, even if someone hears them, they will not have any superfluous thoughts.

After buying the horses, Huo Guang had no plans to continue visiting the county, and after saying a few words to Zhen Youcai, Huo Guang and his two entourages led the horses and walked back. The reason why he didn't ride back was mainly because the horse was still bare, and Huo Guang found that during this period, simple saddles had appeared. Of course, this saddle is not as complicated as Huo Guang knows, just simply put some straw mats and linen on the back of the horse, but this is much better than riding directly on the horse.

After returning to the manor, Huo Guang asked his subordinates to make a simple saddle, and then took out the things he had made all morning with a happy face. This thing was given an interesting name by Huo Guang 'The First Artifact of Piercing the Ancient Times', but in fact, it is a pair of stirrups in the final analysis.

Huo Guang has been thinking about what position he should be in in the battle of Mobei. If you want to charge into battle, Huo Guang will definitely not work, so he thought that before the Three Kingdoms period, there was no stirrup on the cavalry's horses, and Huo Guang also remembered that in many historical novels, the appearance of stirrups made a qualitative leap in cavalry combat.

As for the promotion of stirrups, Huo Guang is not worried, maybe ordinary traversers will have to work hard, but Huo Guang has a brother like Huo Quzhi, as long as Huo Qubing sees the stirrups, it will be easy to equip the entire Mobei cavalry with stirrups in a short time.

After equipping the stirrups and simple saddle, Huo Guang couldn't wait to start riding practice. Of course, he couldn't just get on a horse and run around, but found a subordinate who could ride a horse among the servants of the Huo family, and asked this person to teach him the essentials of horse riding. After mastering the basic horseback riding essentials, the rest was for Huo Guang to practice by himself. However, when this subordinate who knew how to ride saw Huo Guang's stirrups on horseback, he couldn't help but be surprised.

But fortunately, the stirrup is not a product far ahead of its time, and it is extremely simple in itself, but I don't know why it appeared later, so although I think this thing is amazing, but an ordinary person will not look at this thing with strange eyes.

After practicing this day, Huo Guang has been in excitement, after all, he has never ridden a horse in his previous life or this life, because he is very excited and curious, Huo Guang does not feel very tired after all this day, and he takes a comfortable bath at night, and he falls asleep unconsciously when he takes a bath. When he woke up, he found himself in bed, and his arms and waist felt extremely sore.

Huo Guang subconsciously lifted the quilt and looked at what he was wearing, but this time he didn't have anything on his body except for a pair of underwear on his lower body.

"It can't be those two girls, right?" Although Huo Guang is only in his teens, he does have a thought of being in his twenties and almost thirty years old, and this thought is beyond this era.

"Alas, what a pity. I didn't even see such a beautiful scene, and I don't know what the expressions of these two girls were at that time? Huo Guang couldn't help but think in his heart, but speaking of which, this matter is nothing in this era. The maid in the family is still this kind of slave and maid, and it is very common to become the master's concubine, and it is estimated that the two maids are not excluded except for being a little shy.

Thinking of the two maids, Huo Guang suddenly remembered one thing, that is, about his future wife's room. According to the original trajectory of history, Huo Guang's life can be regarded as a great achievement, but just a few years after his death, the Huo family attracted the disaster of extermination, all because of his wife, the culprit. It can be said that the biggest failure in Huo Guang's life is that he continued to take the original marriage maid Mrs. Xian.

As for who Mrs. Xian is, there is no clear record in the history books, but there are generally many maids with the surname of the owner, and the history books also call Huo Xian. According to historical records, Huo Guang is quite fond of this Mrs. Xian, but since the current Huo Guang is no longer the original one, this Huo Xian will naturally not become the culprit in history who led to the extinction of the Huo family, and she is even more unlikely to become Huo Guang's main room, of course, this is all a later story.

Huo Guang didn't have any thoughts about Mrs. Xian, and now that he thought about it, as soon as he found Mrs. Xian, he would definitely send her aside as soon as possible, and he might have to get rid of this person as a last resort. And now Huo Guang is thinking about his original partner with a thin life, this woman only has a simple stroke in the history books, and even Huo Guang doesn't know what her name is, but he probably remembers that his original partner seems to have a very ordinary family background.

However, in the Han Dynasty, there was no such obvious concept of the family as in later generations, and it was not strange for Huo Guang to take an ordinary woman from an ordinary family as his wife, you must know that even the second queen of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wei Zifu, was just a servant girl.

When he woke up, Huo Guang was full of cranky thoughts on the bed, and unconsciously found that the sky outside was already slightly bright. Since there was no sleep, Huo Guang simply got up, and when he opened the door, Huo Guang felt the fresh air in the morning, which was not found in the reinforced concrete city in later generations, although there was still a slight feeling of fatigue on the body, but it was not so obvious at this time.

"No wonder they all advocate green environmental protection, this feeling is different, refreshing!" Huo Guang couldn't help but stretch, and then walked in the courtyard, twisting his arms and legs as he walked, doing some simple physical exercises.

Just as Huo Guang was doing his morning exercise in the courtyard, a sound suddenly sounded in a room on the side of the courtyard. Huo Guang looked at this house with some curiosity, in fact, he didn't know who lived in this house, he had only moved here for more than a day, and he was busy all day long, and he didn't know who he lived so close to.

"Is it them?" Huo Guang guessed the identity of the person in the room after thinking about it slightly, in this Huo family manor, Huo Zhongru and his mother are a separate courtyard, so it is impossible for others to live in the same courtyard with him, the only exception is that it may be the two maids who serve him.

Sure enough, as soon as Huo Guang guessed his eyebrows, he saw that the door had been opened, and then two petite figures walked out of the door, which were the two maids who fetched water and washed his face for him yesterday.

"Damn it, the young master got up so early, but we were still sleeping, so let's go fetch water and wash up for the son." Huo Guang greeted the two with a smile on his face, but he didn't want the two little girls to kneel on the ground as soon as they met, and said in a panic.

"Uh...... What are you doing here? Get up! I can't sleep and walk around myself, it's none of your business, and you don't have to be so restrained in the future. Huo Guang estimated that the duty of these two girls was to serve themselves, and they should have gotten up earlier than themselves, but now it was their masters who got up first, and the two were afraid of making Huo Guang angry.

"The young master is really a good person, beg the young master not to tell the housekeeper, we will never dare again in the future!" Seeing Huo Guang's statement, the two maids breathed a sigh of relief slightly, but they still showed great uneasiness.

"It's all said to get up quickly, I don't like to be kneeled by others, how can I tell the housekeeper about trivial things, don't worry!" Huo Guang has not completely changed the thinking of modern people, and he is really not used to kneeling with two poor girls.

The two girls bowed to Huo Guang gratefully, and then stood up with tears in their eyes and trotted to fetch water for Huo Guang. Looking at the backs of the two little girls, Huo Guang couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and he didn't know if the two of them were scared to cry just now or moved to cry by themselves.

Huo Guangzhi is not compassionate to him, but he does not have the kind of mind that is rampant when he gains power and embarrasses others everywhere, which is very similar to Huo Guang in history.

Just when Huo Guang was still doing a simple morning exercise in the courtyard, while waiting for the two girls to come back, he didn't want the two girls to wait yet, but the housekeeper Huo Zhong hurriedly ran in. Seeing this guy's figure, Huo Guang couldn't help but wonder, could it be that such a big thing just now really let this guy know, right?

"Young Master, just now the champion Hou Ye sent someone to send a message, let you prepare, and Hou Ye will send someone to pick you up in the afternoon!" Huo Zhong stood a foot away from Huo Guang, and he actually brought a major news to Huo Guang.

"It's really fast......," Huo Guang muttered in his heart, he knew that his brother had sent someone to pass the word in advance, in fact, he wanted to seize the half day to arrange things at home, and at the same time say goodbye to his father and mother.
