Chapter 104: Brother Zheng’s Decision (Please give me a reward on Monday!)

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, everyone was worried that Zheng Ge would fall off his horse. However, the horse was riding on a Takahashi saddle. Zheng Ge's feet were firmly locked in the two stirrups of the Takahashi saddle. Although in the eyes of others, Zheng Ge seemed to be in danger of falling off his horse, in fact, Zheng Ge was as steady as a mountain on the horse's back.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the war horse with a man standing up and the black-clad king on the horse, bathed in the golden sunlight, caught Tianxuan's eyes and aroused infinite respect.

Got it!
After a few breaths, the warhorse, which was originally galloping but stood up because of Zheng Ge pulling the reins, stopped completely. The pair of front feet inlaid with horseshoes landed on the ground, making a crisp sound. Zheng Ge rode steadily on the horse's back, and his handsome face, which contained endless majesty, was full of domineering.

After personally using the reins, horseshoes, and high-bridge saddle, Zheng Ge keenly realized that these three things, as Fusu said, were enough to increase the combat effectiveness of the cavalry several times. The king of Qin quickly dismounted and walked towards the wooden platform under the protection of Zhao Gao, the commander of the Central Chariot Office, and Gai Nie.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. May Your Majesty Live Long and Prosperous."

"Meet my father."

……

"Gongshu Chou, I order you to lead a group of craftsmen to produce 10,000 sets of horse harnesses within half a month." Zheng Ge returned to the high platform, holding the scabbard of the sword at his waist with one hand, and gave the order without hesitation. "For Wang Jian's army to use."

"Here."

Gongshu Chou only brought one set of horse harness into the palace. Although the three-piece set of horse harness, namely the bridle, the high-bridge saddle and the horseshoe, could have a huge impact on the combat effectiveness of the cavalry, the manufacturing process was so advanced that a skilled craftsman like Gongshu Chou could make them even with his eyes closed and using only one hand.

Zheng Ge ordered Gongshu Chou to produce 10,000 sets of horse harnesses within half a month. Gongshu Chou did not think that this was a difficult task for him and obeyed the order with his head bowed.

"Tianxuanzi," after instructing Gongshuchou to make a large number of horse harnesses as soon as possible, Zhengge's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze fell on Tianxuan standing behind Fusu, and his tone was playful, "I heard that the horse harnesses such as horse reins, high bridge saddles, and horseshoes were conceived by you and then made by Gongshuchou."

"To reply to your Majesty, that's right." Tianxuan did not deny it.

"You have made great contributions by offering treasures. I have decided to promote you to a higher rank of military rank. From today on, you are an official of the Great Qin."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Tianxuan was promoted from a fifth-level doctor to a sixth-level official doctor by Zheng Ge. A look of joy appeared on Tianxuan's handsome face and he thanked Zheng Ge.

"Also, since you were the first to bring up these horse harnesses." Zheng Ge's eyes swept across Tian Xuan's face, and he added, "I have decided to give you a chance. When Wang Jian's army sets out, you will go with Wang Jian!"

Boom!
Hearing that Zheng Ge intended to let him go to the battlefield, Tianxuan, who was only ten years old in this life, felt his heart beat violently, but he did not refuse. It was because of the mottled history in his previous life that Tianxuan could fully imagine the cruelty and injustice of the troubled times.

In this life, no matter whether you will become a loyal minister of Qin in the future, since you are living in troubled times, you may not need to become a famous general who is unparalleled in the world. But if you know nothing about military affairs, you will not be able to protect yourself in troubled times.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

All this was like fireworks exploding suddenly in Tianxuan's mind. Tianxuan hesitated for only a moment, then lowered his head and accepted Zhengge's appointment. However, it was this moment of hesitation that caught Fusu's eyes and caused him to misunderstand.

"Father," Fusu said to Zhengge with a worried look on his face, "Tianxuanzi is only ten years old this year. Isn't it too hasty to send him to the battlefield now?"

Zheng Ge glanced at Fusu and said lightly, "What's wrong with being young? Twenty years ago, Gan Luo was sent as an envoy to Zhao State when he was twelve years old. He captured more than a dozen cities for our Qin State without bloodshed. In my opinion, Tian Xuanzi's talent is not much inferior to Gan Luo's in the past. His martial arts are also first-class. Going to the battlefield is a good opportunity to hone his skills."

'Gan Luo'?
Hearing this name, everyone present had a drastic change of expression. Gan Luo, surnamed Zi, was from Xiacai, Chu State, and the grandson of Gan Mao, a famous minister of Qin State. Gan Luo was extremely intelligent since childhood, and served as a junior son of Prime Minister Lu Buwei. At the age of 12, he was sent as an envoy to Zhao State, and used strategies to help Qin State obtain many cities. With his meritorious service, he was rewarded by Ying Zheng, and was awarded Shangqing, land, and houses.

However, after being appointed as a senior official, this legendary child prodigy suddenly disappeared from the Qin court. In the past twenty years, many curious people have tried to find Gan Luo, but they have never found him. To this day, no one knows Gan Luo's whereabouts, let alone whether he is still alive.

【Gan Luo, are you okay? 】

Tianxuan, Fusu, Gongshuchou, Gai Nie, Zhao Gao and others all had changing expressions when Zhengge mentioned Gan Luo. As the person involved, Zhengge, because of the sudden change in the atmosphere, also recalled the days when he was with Gan Luo. In a flash, such a thought passed through Zhengge's mind. Reflecting to the outside world, a faint longing swirled in Zhengge's eyes that seemed to encompass the beautiful mountains and rivers.

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."

Hearing Zheng Ge comparing himself to the legendary prodigy, Gan Luo, even though Tian Xuan had an extraordinary character, he still felt flattered for a moment.

"Then it's settled."

Zheng Ge was no longer interested, so he turned around and led Zhao Gao, Gai Nie and other close officials to the outside of the parade ground. The group was bathed in the rising night mist, full of dreamlike hazy colors.

"My Lord, I am leaving now."

Although Gongshu Chou thought that it was not difficult to make 10,000 sets of horse harnesses within half a month, he knew that if he completed the task, the reward from Zhengge would be generous, but if he failed to complete the task, the punishment from Zhengge would be extremely severe. As soon as Zhengge left, Gongshu Chou made an excuse to Fusu and said goodbye, wishing he could rush back to the General Works Office to supervise the craftsmen under him to make horse harnesses.

"Master Gongshu, take care."

Fusu did not try to keep Gongshu Chou and just smiled.

…………

Snapped!
After seeing off Zhengge and Gongshuchou, Fusu, who had already established his own government, and Tianxuan, who was an external minister, simply left the palace together. As night fell, dim oil lamps were lit in the palace, and the bright candles emitted wisps of light from the window sills, blending into the thin mist, creating a hazy beauty.

When they reached the imperial road leading directly to the palace gate, Fusu suddenly stopped and slapped Tianxuan on the shoulder, his handsome face full of worry:

"Brother Tianxuan, do you really want to go to the battlefield? If you don't want to, I can go and beg my father to revoke his decision now!"

As he spoke, Fusu's pair of dark, bright and warm eyes were shrouded in an unbreakable sincerity. It was obvious that this was exactly what he was thinking. When their eyes met, Tianxuan saw the worry in Fusu's eyes, and a warm current passed through his heart.
