Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 332

The vassal kings from all over the country will stay at the royal ranch for a few days, and they will leave one after another after a few days.

That evening, after Luo Yi returned to his barracks, he immediately called Luo Buping.

At this time, Luo Buping was still wrapped in bandages, and he was a little depressed.

"Father, why did you call your son here?"

"Have you seen the shape of the horseshoe today and the steps of nailing the horseshoe?"

Hearing this, Luo Buping somewhat understood Luo Yi's meaning, so he quickly said: "I have seen it all, father wants to do it by himself?"

Luo Yi nodded: "Horseshoes are too useful for war horses. Our Youzhou warhorses must be equipped with horseshoes. Then Qin Tian thought that the horseshoe business must be done with him. It's a dream. You send someone to make horseshoes immediately and try it in the barracks." one time."

After all, Luo Yi was a very cautious person. Although he knew that it was not good to test horseshoes here, he was also worried that he would not be successful after going back. At that time, he would have no chance to make amends.

After Luo Buping agreed, he sent people to leave the barracks overnight to make horseshoes at a nearby blacksmith shop.

The person Luo Buping sent was Luo Xiu, Luo Buping's confidant. Luo Xiu set off overnight and arrived at a nearby county at dawn the next day.

After entering the county seat, he quickly found the blacksmith shop here.

However, when he arrived, there were already two or three people standing outside the blacksmith shop.

Although these people were wearing casual clothes, Luo Xiu could tell at a glance that these people were by no means ordinary people.

And at this time, those few people also saw Luo Xiu.

"Are you under that prince?" One of the fat men immediately asked after seeing Luo Xiu, while the other two watched from the side. Obviously, they already knew each other well.

Luo Xiu hesitated for a moment, and said: "Yan Wang's subordinates, Luo Xiu is also."

The fat man smiled: "So it's from King Yan's subordinates, and I'm from King Yunnan's subordinates. Are you here to make horseshoes?"

"Exactly." Hearing that Fatty was the king of Yunnan, Luo Xiu immediately understood what was going on.

They in Youzhou need horseshoes, so the king of Yunnan doesn't need horseshoes, don't other princes need horseshoes?

They could indeed place an order with Qin Tianxia, ​​but how much would it cost? They might as well go back and do it themselves.

Several people looked at each other and smiled, tacit understanding. Soon, the blacksmith was called out by the people who rushed in. They told the blacksmith about the horseshoe and asked him to build it according to the pattern.

The blacksmith was sleeping soundly, and was very unhappy when he was called, but seeing that these people were not easy to provoke, he could only hold back his anger and help them make horseshoes.

Fortunately, the style of the horseshoe was very simple and not too complicated, so before noon, the blacksmith had already made all the horseshoes.

Luo Xiu and the others couldn't wait, so they met at an inn for a drink and took a break in the middle. After getting the horseshoes, they hurried towards the Royal Ranch.

After Luo Xiu returned to the barracks, he began to nail the horseshoes according to Qin Tian's nailing the horseshoes.

Luo Yi heard the news and brought people to watch.

A few guards controlled a horse, and Luo Xiu smashed it with a hammer, but as soon as he smashed it, the horse immediately kicked it out with a hoof.

Luo Xiu was careless, and was kicked to the ground by the horse's hoof. The horse's hoof was very powerful, and Luo Xiu had no protection. When the hoof went down, Luo Xiu suddenly felt blood welling up, and it spurted out with a puff. A mouthful of blood came.

"What's going on?" Luo Yi's expression was serious. When Qin Tian nailed it, the black horse didn't react at all, but why did the horse react when Luo Xiu just started nailing it?

Luo Yi didn't think there was anything wrong with the horse, the only problem might be that their method was wrong.

However, he did not want to be discouraged, and after ordering a few soldiers to come over and control the horse just now, he sent someone to forcefully nail the horse's shoe on it.

After being nailed in this way, the horse immediately neighed, and then ran out frantically.

The horse was startled, and no one dared to step forward to stop it.

And just after the horse fled, a bloodstain was left on the ground of the barracks, and two horseshoes were scattered at the gate of the barracks. Obviously, they didn't nail the horseshoes on at all. The horse had just run a few steps. The horseshoe fell off.

Luo Yi frowned and scratched her head.

Seeing Qin Tian doing it, the whole process is like this, and it is very simple, why when they do it, everything goes wrong?
Luo Yi walked back and forth in the barracks, and Luo Buping didn't dare to speak for a while.

This matter is messed up, they have to ask Qin Tian, ​​but now that kid wants them to ask him, right?
As time passed, Luo Yi's clothes were soaked, Luo Buping suddenly widened his eyes, and said, "Father, I have a way, maybe we can do it without us asking Qin Tian."

"any solution?"

"Ask Duke Yi for help. My father is his uncle. Ask him to ask about horseshoe skills. He probably won't refuse, and Qin Tian is the adopted son of Duke Yi. If Duke Yi asks, Qin Tian can reject?"

Luo Buping's method is actually just a very common method. Luo Yi hesitated for a while, and finally nodded: "Go and call Shubao."

Luo Yi called, Qin Shubao didn't dare not come.

"What's the matter with Uncle asking me to come?" Qin Shubao asked after he arrived, Luo Yi was a little embarrassed, he didn't know how to say that, but it was Luo Buping who spoke first: "Brother Qin, it's like this, Qin Tian's horseshoes, my father thinks they are very good, and I want to match them with the cavalry in Youzhou, but we want to shoe the horses by ourselves, Brother Qin, can you go to Qin Tian for help and ask about the skills of shoe nailing."

Hearing that it was because of this matter, Qin Shubao's heart suddenly sank. He still understood his adoptive son, and he was unwilling to suffer. Moreover, judging from his close relationship with the ninth princess, it seems that he has not forgotten Luo Yi. Yi asked him for a thousand sets of cotton clothes.

In that case, it would be easier said than done for Qin Tian to tell about his horseshoeing skills.

"Uncle, I'm afraid this is not easy to handle."

Luo Yi said: "I know our Luo family is a little unhappy with Qin Tian. We will definitely not tell him when we go to ask for him, but as his adoptive father, it's a different situation. Uncle Bao, your uncle and I Guarding Youzhou is of great importance, how can the cavalry do without horseshoes, right? For the safety of the Tang Dynasty, I trouble you to make a trip.”

Luo Yi's excuse was a bit lofty, and Qin Shubao didn't think so, but if he said it out, if he refused, he would be disregarding the safety of Tang Dynasty.

After thinking about it for a while, Qin Shubao could only sigh softly, and said: "Since my uncle said so, then I'll just go there, but I don't dare to guarantee whether I can come out."

"You are a foster father, there is absolutely no problem."
