"The car is coming."

The old man, who was chatting with Huo Quai's brothers, looked at the distance of the road and said suddenly.

The brothers looked sideways at the same time.

In the distance, he saw a man coming with eight unseemly horses of great physique.

"Eight horse-drawn carriages."

On Huo Quai's side, almost everyone was stunned.

They had not yet recovered from the rule of the Han Dynasty, and naturally felt a trace of pressure on a carriage of this size.

It's the same with Huo Qu's disease.

In the Han Dynasty, the Han Emperor Liu Che, his childhood was almost under his control, and he was very familiar with the honor guard of the Son of Heaven.

As an old man from Liaodi, the old man naturally knew the obsession of people from Han Land with the honor guard, he touched Huo Guang's head and chuckled.

"It's just an ordinary carriage, in Liaodi, there is no such thing as a guard of honor, and compared to the guard of honor, shouldn't you be more curious about horses?"

The old man's voice made Huo Quzhi and the others wake up, yes, this is not Han Land.

And Huo Guang was even more curious about those big horses, his brother was in the army, Huo Mansion was not short of horses, but it was the first time he had seen such a big horse.

Not only was he curious, but even Huo Quai, Huo's mother and the housekeepers were also very curious.

"Yes, old man, how can this horse be so big."

"Taller than everybody!"

"Hahaha."

The old man laughed heartily: "This kind of horse has been named by the king, called the giant horse, and they are all selected and eliminated in the selection of war horses. ”

"This is related to genetics, one of the branches of medicine, if Xiaoguang is interested, you can go to the library in Liaoning City to see for yourself."

"The old man said that these horses were eliminated from the selection of military horses?"

Huo Quzhi asked in surprise.

In his opinion, if such a tall horse is used on the battlefield, it is simply a powerful and incomparable weapon, how can the captain still eliminate them!

The old man glanced at Huo Quzhi with a smile and nodded.

"It is indeed eliminated, the horse politics of Liaodi is different from that of the Han land, the classification of horses is not only two kinds of war horses and pack horses, the qualifications of horses are different, some focus on endurance, some focus on speed, some focus on character, etc., and after the emergence of the prototype of the giant horse, the classification of horses in Liaodi has added a focus on body type."

"At the beginning, the horse officials who cultivated horses also wanted to use large-sized war horses to breed from generation to generation to create an invincible giant beast, which was also the opportunity for the appearance of giant horses, but later they found that the increase in the size of horses is not all advantages, but there are still defects that cannot be filled."

As he spoke, there was a hint of regret on the old man's expression.

"The prototype of the giant horse performed very well at the beginning, whether it was speed, endurance, or even personality, it was the most suitable horse as a war horse, and even the person in charge of horse germplasm improvement also asked the king to use the kingdom of God to breed in person."

"The king agreed, and asked the project leader to select two male stallions and eight female stallions to send to the kingdom of God."

"But the person in charge asked the king again to enter with the horses himself, because he was too deeply invested in these horses and wanted to breed them himself."

The old man seemed to be telling a story, and they were fascinated by Huo Quai's illness, although they couldn't understand many things, but this did not prevent them from being intoxicated by the story.

Jingle Bell –

The carriage rang the bell.

Eight immensely sturdy horses snorted affectionately at the old man and neighed a few times.

The old man shook his head with a chuckle, pushed away the pushers on the side of the carriage and walked straight up.

got into the car, and he didn't forget to greet Huo Quzhi and the others: "Don't want to hear the whole story?" ”

"Oh, old man, you wait for me."

Huo Guang's speed was the fastest, and he hurriedly boarded the carriage, Huo Qubing also walked up when he saw this, they came to take the bus and carriage into the city.

The group got into the carriage, and the distribution of the left and right seats allowed them to quickly sit down.

As the bell rang again, the old man's voice spoke again.

"At first, the king didn't want Ma Guan to enter the Kingdom of God, and he also dissuaded Ma Guan, saying that it would cause him to suffer an irreversible burden, but Ma Guan insisted on going."

"Helplessly, the king also agreed to Ma Guan's request, because Ma Guan was the person he followed from the beginning, and Jun Shang was nostalgic."

"In this way, the horse officer got his wish, he went to the kingdom of God, and carefully took care of the first breed of ten giant horses he had brought with him, these horses were carefully selected by him, and from their two generations there are data records of body growth, so the horse officer firmly believes that these horses will let him do what he wants."

"And the situation is indeed as he expected, the first generation of the ten horses has been strengthened again, this time it is already a year later, the king also went to ask him if he wants to return to reality, the horse officer refused, he thinks that the current giant horse size is still not enough, and it should be bigger."

The body swayed, and the rubber tires mitigated bumps, making the people in the cabin feel okay.

And everyone has been immersed in the story of the old man.

What is the kingdom of God and what is the king, they are extremely interested.

The old man seemed to be immersed in his own story, and his eyes were deep, as if he was missing something.

"In this way, year after year, although the first batch of giant horses have shrunken in size and individuals with character defects, the descendants of many giant horses are moving in the direction of Ma Guan's design."

"One year, two years, three years, ten years, twenty years, thirty years."

"Finally, one day, Ma Guan's hair was all white, and he finally cultivated the giant horse species thoroughly."

"Strong muscles, strong limbs, and tall bodies all reveal that these horses are war machines capable of becoming battlefield behemoths."

"But on this day, Ma Guan failed."

"The horse officer only cares about his horse, and forgets the composition of a cavalry, in addition to horses, there are people."

"The horses are so large that the rider can't make any effective attacks on horseback."

"It's also because the giant horse is so big, its speed is greatly constrained, and the only thing that shines is its strength and endurance, and correspondingly, it eats more than twice as much as a normal horse."

The carriage drove to the Chengmen platform of Liaoning City.

The old man's story has also come to an end.

He slowly got up and stepped out of the carriage, several tall horses trying to rub his palms affectionately.

Huo Guang followed behind the old man.

He tugged at the hem of the old man's clothes, and his eyes were full of admiration: "Old man, you are the horse official, right?" ”

"Hahaha"

The old man laughed heartily, he looked into Huo Guang's eyes and nodded.

"Well, my name is Ma San, and I am the horse official who was rescued from the grassland."
