Hua Wanru and Hua Lingjian were both very surprised. They didn't expect that the treasure map they found in Wang's secret room was actually a fake.
Where would that really be?
They looked at Hua Qingqing with some curiosity, but Qingqing stopped talking, so they didn't dare to ask any more.
Fortunately, the treasure map was of no use to them, so they didn't care.
However, they still had to tell their father about this matter when they returned. They also had to let their father tell Master Qiu about it. They didn't want Master Qiu to think that they were hiding something.
Gao Yuanlin's carriage was in front, and Hua Qingqing and his companions' carriage was behind. They were running very fast all the way, and soon arrived at the gate of Prince Yan's Mansion.
Gao Yuanlin got off the carriage, but was a little hesitant and unwilling to go up and knock on the door. He walked to the front of Hua Qingqing's carriage and said awkwardly.
"I'll have to trouble Miss Hua again."
"Help me call out Mr. Qiu."
"I really have something urgent to ask him."
Hua Qingqing nodded and was carried out of the car by Hua Lingjian. Hua Wanru also got out.
Hua Lingjian thought about it, then pulled Hua Qingqing along and went to knock on the door together.
Soon the door opened, and it was a middle-aged man with a scar on his face. He looked at the few people and raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Who are you looking for?"
Hua Lingjian introduced himself.
"Hello uncle, my name is Hua Lingjian, and I am the third son of Hua Changjue. These two are my sisters!"
"We came to the palace because we have something important to do. We want to find Master Qiu."
The doorman nodded, and when he saw Gao Yuanlin not far away, he just glanced at him and then looked away.
"Okay, wait a moment. I'll go and make the announcement."
Hua Lingjian bowed, "Thank you!"
A few people saw the middle-aged man limping in and closing the door.
Hua Lingjian thought, this must be the soldier of His Royal Highness Prince Yan! He must have come to guard the gate of His Royal Highness Prince Yan after he was injured and disabled!
Today, in Prince Yan’s Mansion.
Prince Yan and Qiu Mobai were already in the backyard studying a tripwire made by the Bai family's father and son.
The tripwire was a very important weapon for the Yan King's army, and they used it in almost every battle.
Because most of the Jin soldiers were cavalry, horses were like legs to them. If you want to defeat them, you have to break their legs first.
What's more, the horses of the Great Sheng Dynasty were far inferior to those of the Great Jin Dynasty.
Therefore, many weapons are used to deal with horses, and the tripwire is one of them.
However, because it was used so frequently, the Jin generals were not stupid. Over time, they also developed countermeasures, so the lethality was greatly reduced. It can only be said that it is better than nothing.
King Yan has been troubled by this matter.
At this time, looking at the one in front of them that the Bai family father and son had researched, it was a long one with many small holes on it. It looked a bit strange and I was a little surprised.
"Is this a tripwire?"
"Why can't I see that?"
King Yan looked at Qiu Mobai in confusion.
"How do you use this thing? Why is there no knife?"
“It doesn’t look very sharp.”
"Could it be that he just tripped the horse?"
The King of Yan was a little skeptical, looking at the thing in front of him. He felt that it was a bit difficult to trip up the horses of the Great Jin.
Qiu Mobai smiled and shook his head, carefully explaining to King Yan.
"This thing is for stepping on. Let the horses step on it!"
King Yan was surprised, "Step on it? Could it be that there are spikes or something in these small holes?"
He asked somewhat doubtfully.
"There are irons on the soles of horses' feet. Even if you step on them, you won't get hurt, right?"
Qiu Mobai shook his head!
"This isn't a spike! It's not meant to pierce the horse's paw."
"Let me tell you the specific steps."
"First, bury this in the soil. The side with the hole faces upwards. If a large number of horses step on it, it will trigger the mechanism."
"Then a lot of marbles will shoot out from these little holes."
"These marbles can be soaked in potion in advance. When the time comes, they will pop out of the small holes and hit the horse's legs or belly. The horse will be injured, but not fatally."
"There are drugs on the marbles. These drugs can be horses. They paralyze the nerves for a short time and prevent movement!"
“So, if the horse wants to run again, it will definitely not be able to do so.”
"At this time, the Jin soldiers no longer have the advantage!"
King Yan was very surprised and raised his eyebrows at the strange thing in front of him.
"But why not just kill the horse?"
"It can also solve the problem once and for all."
Because most of the horses on the battlefield were killed, and those that could not be killed would run back to their own camps in the chaos.
Qiu Mobai smiled when he thought of this.
He thought back to the time when he mentioned this to Qingqing, and Qingqing had a serious expression on her face.
"Brother Qiu, fighting is a human thing. But the horses have to be killed. In fact, they don't know anything. But they have become human sacrifices in vain."
“It’s such a pity.”
“Can we design something?”
"When the horses were sent to the battlefield, they all fell to the ground."
"That way you don't have to kill the horse."
"After the war is over, we can still take back the enemy's horses. Even if they can't help us fight, we can sell them to ordinary people. They can be used to transport goods or carriages!"
“It’s pretty good, isn’t it?”
Qiu Mobai was stunned at that time. He felt that Qingqing's idea was very novel and made sense.
He didn't feel sorry for the horse or that it would be a pity to kill it.
In this world, in many places, people are worse off than animals and live in extreme misery.
Even in an imperial city like Bianjing, there were many slums, and people would sell their children if they couldn't afford to eat.
