The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 18 Just for Princess Xia
Princess Xia couldn't wait, stroking the pony's white mane with her little hands, and couldn't wait to ride on it.

"Help me!"

After a lot of effort, Princess Xia turned her eyes to Ma Shili and Qin Wuji for help.

The maid on the side saw this and hurriedly stepped forward.

And then successfully got it to ride on the horse.

It seemed that the field of vision on horseback was wider. Princess Xia had an excited expression on her face. She wanted to open her hands and cheer, but she realized her identity and restrained her behavior.

"Little bird! Little bird! Look at me!"

Princess Xia shouted to Bai Zhi on the sycamore tree, motioning Bai Zhi to look over, as if her behavior was a great honor and she couldn't wait to share it with Bai Zhi.

"Not bad! Great!"

Bai Zhi nodded and had to say that the white pony and Princess Xia's delicate and lovely appearance were indeed a perfect match and complemented each other, just like the little fairy children in the fairy palace.

Afterwards, Princess Xia began to learn to ride a horse under the guidance of Ma Shili, practicing back and forth in the palace garden. Unknowingly, the sun set in the west and the sunset dyed the sky red, adding three colors to the solemn and solemn Qin Palace. It is very beautiful, just like the scene in a scroll, which makes people intoxicated.

……

Princess Xia learns equestrian skills, which is not easy.

Qin Jun was sitting in the pavilion, looking at Princess Xia who was practicing mounting and dismounting in the palace garden, with a smile on her lips.

Perhaps Qin Jun can only find some relaxation and happiness in this small palace. Whenever he steps out of this palace, he will be greeted by a mountain of pressure.

Opposite Qin Jun, there was a divine bird with dazzling feathers - Bai Zhi.

"I heard that Qin Jun defeated the Wei army in Hexi and captured the land in Hexi?"

Bai Zhi asked.

"I never thought that the divine bird also cares about the affairs of other countries."

Qin Jun was slightly surprised, but he still replied: "Yes, the Qin army won a great victory!"

Speaking of this, Qin Jun Ying Si's lips showed a proud look. Yes, this was his most successful political achievement since he succeeded to the throne of Qin Jun.

If it were placed on Bai Zhi, he wouldn't be able to help but feel proud.

"How many casualties did the Qin army have?"

However, what Qin Jun Yingsi did not expect was that the divine bird would ask this question.

After a moment of silence, Qin Jun Ying Si replied in a low voice, as if his previous pride had disappeared, "Three thousand Qin soldiers were killed and more than five thousand were injured!"

This number... is no longer small!
3000 people!
Although it was just a cold number when Bai Zhi heard it, there was blood dripping behind it.

Everyone is a family, and how many families are there among these 3000 people?
"Why does the divine bird ask?"

This time, Qin Jun looked at the divine bird with doubts in his heart.

"Princess Xia has begun to worry about national affairs, and is determined to end the centuries-old disputes between the countries, so that the people of the world will no longer have their families destroyed due to war!"

Bai Zhi's voice was calm and he looked at Princess Xia who was learning equestrian skills in the palace.

Qin Jun's eyes also followed, with a look of surprise on his face, and then he became even more relieved.

"Xia Shangxiao, I hope sir can always persuade him!"

At this moment, Qin Jun Ying Si directly addressed Bai Zhi as sir!

In this era, the title of sir is extremely precious and cannot be obtained by ordinary people!

"Princess Xia has a stubborn and determined personality, which may be difficult to change!"

Bai Zhi said.

"The widow knows!"

Afterwards, one person and one bird sat in the pavilion and fell into silence, and stopped talking in a very tacit agreement.

After a long time, Bai Zhi took out a piece of cloth from the table beside him and motioned for Qin Jun to look at it.

"What is this?"

Qin Jun was confused and saw some strange things painted on the cloth, which made him cast a doubtful look at Bai Zhi. "Stirrups and horseshoes."

"What are stirrups and horseshoes?"

"Stirrups are stepping objects that allow the rider to borrow strength from the horse's back, and can even fight on horseback with a sword!"

"Horseshoes are just like boots worn by people to prevent wear and tear on the soles of their feet. Horseshoes are boots for horses."

"It can be cast in gold, or it can be cast in iron."

Later, Bai Zhi explained the uses of horseshoes and stirrups one by one.

As Qin Jun listened, the look of shock on his face became more intense, so much so that he stood up from the couch and wanted to walk away quickly.

"This...this stirrup and horseshoe..."

As a monarch and Qin Jun with lofty ambitions, Ying Si is not only knowledgeable, but also proficient in swordsmanship, equestrianism, etc. How could he not know the weight of these two things? !
I saw that Qin Jun Ying Si could not wait to verify these two things.

"...Sir, I am a widower..."

"Go!"

Bai Zhi shook his body, and the colorful feathers shone brightly. The mysterious "ritual" pattern on his back was even more dazzling, as if surrounded by divine light.

Bai Zhi understood that after all, it was an epoch-making thing, and for the Qin State, it was nothing more than giving timely help.

but;

"After it's cast, don't forget to equip Princess Xia!"

The implication is that the stirrups and horseshoes are just for Princess Xia.Hearing this, Qin Jun looked stunned, but he was more respectful to Bai Zhi.

Qin Jun Ying Si bowed deeply to Bai Zhi, then turned around and left.

"Huh? Why is the father-in-law gone?"

Princess Xia's forehead was thin with sweat, her hair was sticky, and her face was flushed. When she saw that Jun Qin was no longer in the pavilion, she immediately looked at Bai Zhi.

"Qin Jun noticed that it was difficult for you to learn equestrian skills. He thought that there was something that could help you, so he went to get it!"

"really?"

The little girl looked surprised.

……

Since the Qin Lord came to the throne, the Qin State has implemented the laws of the Shang Lord. Anyone who joins the army, works in the fields, or works as a craftsman can receive a title.

Among them, most of the craftsmen were Mohists with exquisite skills. Qin Jun appreciated them, treated them with courtesy, and appointed them.

"Although these two objects are simple, they are cleverly conceived. When paired with horses, they are really even more powerful!"

In a workshop, a group of craftsmen were seen standing in front of Qin Jun. They all looked at the objects painted on the cloth and praised them.

"In this case, cast it as soon as possible and try to wear it on the war horse. Experiment first and then cast it in large quantities!"

"only!"

After hearing this, all the craftsmen put down their work and immediately started casting horseshoes and stirrups.

But Qin Jun stayed in the unbearably hot and dirty workshop, waiting quietly.

"Your Majesty, do these two things really have such an effect?"

On the side, Ying Ji asked, with a trace of doubt on his face.After all, you have never seen something, so it is normal to have doubts.

"The gift given by the divine bird should be correct!"

"It turned out to be a gift from the divine bird!"

Hearing this, the suspicion on Ying Ji's face suddenly disappeared without a trace, replaced by expectation.

Not long after, the first horseshoes and stirrups were cast, and several craftsmen presented them respectfully.

Qin Jun took a look and found that it was the same as the painting on the cloth, so he said: "Bring a war horse and try it out!"
