Through Time Chapter 66

A sturdy horse was soon brought to the Qin Shi Huang.

At this point the horse only had reins and a simple saddle.

At once Qin Shi Huang took those items and walked over to the horse.

At this point, Zhao Gao hastened to discourage to

“Your Majesty, if there is anything you want to do, just instruct your old slave, you must not take any risks.”

Qin Shi Huang frowned and said.

“Get out of the way, you don’t know where you are when I go into battle to kill the enemy.”

It was good that Qin Shi Huang was extremely skilled, but Zhao Gao knew that Qin Shi Huang’s body was getting weaker and weaker these days.

Thinking about what Zhao Lang had said before, Zhao Gao’s heart was always extremely uneasy.

Therefore, he did not dare to let Qin Shi Huang do anything that would be dangerous.

But at this moment, when Qin Shi Huang spoke, Zhao Gao could only back off.

When he came to the horses, Qin Shi Huang thought about the words in the letter.

Speaking to an ordinary attendant next to him, he said

“You, get on the horse and try it out.”

The common squire froze for a moment and whispered that

“Your Majesty, the slave servant does not know how to ride a horse.”

Qin Shi Huang instantly gave the other a cold look, and Zhao Gao, who was beside him, said in a continuous voice that

“Your Majesty told you to get on the horse, so get on it, what’s more!”

The attendant shuddered and replied with a yes, then walked towards the horse.

The horses in the camp were all tall and large, and the squire was only just the same size as the horse.

It took a great deal of effort, and even the horses were a little anxious.

It was only with great difficulty that he climbed up.

Then he sat warily on the horse’s back, not daring to make any movements.

Qin Shi Huang took all this in his stride and said to

“Come down.”

The attendant on horseback was instantly pardoned and hurriedly dismounted.

He even almost fell when he dismounted.

Qin Shi Huang took out the things that Fubo had sent over and began to install them according to the letter.

These were not complicated, and Qin Shi Huang himself was well versed in military martial arts.

They were even installed more firmly and reliably.

Soon, they were installed.

“You go on the horse again.”

Qin Shi Huang said indifferently.

On the side, Li Si all looked confused.

For the horse did not look any different from before, except that there was an extra small iron piece on both sides.

This time the squire didn’t dare to hesitate and was ready to climb on the horse straight away.

The Qin Shi Huang spoke out and said.

“You step into this with your foot.”

The attendant then followed Qin Shi Huang’s instructions and put one foot in first.

Then he used his strength to step in, shook his whole body for a moment, and then rolled over onto his horse!

Although it was still a little unstable, that was because the stirrup was not matched with the saddle.

But compared to before, it was already a world of difference!

And after sitting on the horse, with both feet in the stirrups, his body slowly stabilised.

When Qin Shi Huang saw this scene, a brilliant light burst into his eyes and he said in a loud voice that

“Good, good!”

The people around him were also full of astonishment, two tiny pieces of iron only.

How could they actually make a man who couldn’t ride a horse, sit steadily on the back of a horse?

One must know that they had all gone through long training to do so.

“No one is allowed to divulge what happened today.”

Qin Shi Huang said with a hint of warning.

For the epistle also said that until his side was fully equipped, and had gained the upper hand.

It must never be made available to the enemy outside the grasslands.

Zhao Gao took a direct look around and took them all to heart.

Personally removing the stirrup again and returning to the tent, Qin Shi Huang did not hide his joy.

“Your Majesty, what is this object? How can it be so effective!”

Li Si could not help but ask at this point.

Qin Shi Huang smilingly said that

“This object is called a stirrup, and guess who created it?”

Li Si knew that Qin Shi Huang was knowingly asking the question, he was not blind or deaf and had watched Zhao Gao bring the letter in.

This was purely a way for Qin Shi Huang to show off his son.

So he asked, quite cooperatively

“I wonder which master created this?”

“A master? Ha ha ha.”

Qin Shi Huang let out a gleeful laugh and returned to.

“This was created by Long’er!”

Li Si showed a hint of surprise very promptly and said that

“It was actually created by Gongzi Lang, he is indeed a natural talent!”

Zhao Gao, who was on the other side, also said in an intelligent manner that

“Gong Zi Lang’s talent is keen, it is a blessing for the Great Qin!”

Hearing the two praise Zhao Lang, Qin Shi Huang was even more comfortable than they were flattering him, and smiling, he said.

“Indeed, Long’s son alone can be worth 100,000 scholars and 100,000 soldiers!”

Qin Shi Huang knew he was not exaggerating.

The art of paper-making, the art of printing, would have been able to wipe out the hundred schools of thought in one go.

The stirrup was more than enough for 100,000 soldiers.

Not to mention, there were unexperimented horseshoes.

When both Li Si and Zhao Gao heard this, they looked at each other covertly.

They were close ministers of Qin Shi Huang, and they had never heard him speak so highly of any imperial son, ever!

Even Fusu, who had been left to oversee the state in Xianyang this time, had been chided by Qin Shi Huang from time to time.

He said that he had been taught by Confucianism that he was only a woman’s man.

It was also mentioned more than once that Fusu should be put to the north to sharpen his skills.

In contrast, they already had some suspicions in their minds.

“Pass the order, the battalion will leave immediately! I want to meet with Meng Tian and Meng Yi as soon as possible!”

With an order from Qin Shi Huang, everyone started to move.

Seven days later.

At this time, the stately home was extremely busy.

Today was the day of the competition between the teenagers and the foreign gentry.

The competition was on the flat ground in front of the manor house.

Everyone in the manor was excited and gathered around, ready to see the action.

Zhao Lang and Wang Jian were standing high up on the ground, and the Mozi Vantage, Kong Jia, was also in the crowd.

“Long’er, who do you think will win this time?”

Wang Jian asked with a smile.

Zhao Lang looked down at the situation in the field and said that

“Naturally, to hell with them will win.”

Wang Jian did not comment first, but asked towards Wang Li that

“What do you think, Li’er?”

Wang Li frowned and spoke to

“To hell with them for training hard though.”

“But in the end, the base is a little too weak, Meng Zhi and the others grew up strong and have had much training, they are not comparable to these peasant boys.”

“So, I think Meng Zhi and the others will win.”

Zhao Lang knew that Wang Li was telling the truth.

Just by looking at the body type alone, it was clear that there was actually not much difference in age between the two sides.

But the height and weight, however, were much different.

Wang Jian also nodded his head and asked Zhao Lang, once again

“Long’er, what do you think now?”

This way of asking was slightly wordy.

But Wang Jian’s aim was to lead Zhao Lang and Wang Li to think for themselves and get their own way of leading the army.

Without any hesitation, Zhao Lang said that

“I still think to hell with them will win.”

“Oh?”

Wang Jian let out an oh of surprise.

“Because to hell with what they have that these people don’t,”

Zhao Lang looked down at the field of extremely neat and orderly, albeit skinny, teenagers and said, indifferently

“They have dynamism and hope.”

“Of course, what’s more important is that they have seen blood.”

Wang Jian narrowed his eyes slightly at once.

Before he could say anything else, a roar had erupted from the flatlands!

The contest, it had begun!
