"Really?" Hearing Zhang Ran's description of the effects of those protective gears so magically, Huo Qubing suddenly became interested. He stood up straight to Zhang Ran, looked around him, looked left and right, and stretched out his hand to touch it a few times from time to time, and said curiously: "Brother Ran, just a few pieces of cowhide, it's amazing to stuff some silk into it. Is it as useful as you said?"

Zhang Ran quietly retreated a little without a trace, and then replied with a little hesitation: "This... I'm not too sure. After all, I just made this thing not long ago. I still don't know what the specific effect is... However, the protective ability of cooked cowhide is good, and the silk is extremely flexible, which can play a certain cushioning role. Therefore, it is hard to say whether these things can prevent trampling when worn on the body, but it only protects the soft joints. I think it should be fine!"

Due to the limitations of materials and technology, the protective equipment produced by Zhang Ran is simply incomparable to the professional protective equipment of later generations. At best, it can only be considered a deleted version!

What's more, even the protective equipment of later generations can play a 100% protective role. In this case, how dare Zhang Ran brag or exaggerate the effectiveness of his simple protective equipment? If it is exposed, wouldn't this be slap himself in the face?

Of course, it doesn’t matter whether Zhang Ran is slapped in the face or not. Anyway, he is thick-skinned enough... But what if Huo Qubing has a cognitive bias and misunderstood the effect of this protective equipment, and thus adopts a more radical teaching method? Isn’t this a joke about his own life?

Therefore, Zhang Ranning said it was a little conservative and did not dare to brag or exaggerate it!

Sure enough, after hearing Zhang Ran's further explanation, Huo Qubing's interest greatly reduced and he suddenly lost the excitement he had just now... Of course, Huo Qubing did not over-depreciate the effect of Zhang Ran's equipment. Instead, after some observation and understanding, he gave a serious evaluation: "Brother Ran, according to what you said, this thing is quite useful... Especially for beginners like you who are not good at riding horses, it is even more effective! With them to provide you with protection, I will be able to let go of some of the things you can teach you useful things later!"

"Ah?" Hearing Huo Qubing say this, Zhang Ran shook his head repeatedly and said, "Don't, we should proceed step by step, and it's better to take it step by step!"

"Haha..." Huo Qubing couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Ran, don't worry, I'm a good person!"

As he said that, Huo Qubing couldn't help but look up at the sky outside, stretched his muscles and bones, and raised his head and said, "Ah, the sun is so high, you can't delay any more. It's time to leave!"

"It's right." As soon as Huo Qubing finished speaking, Cao Xiang next to him immediately grabbed the last piece of pastry on the plate and threw it into his mouth. While chewing, he stood up and agreed and said, "Since Brother Ran is ready, let's not chat here. Let's set off early and rush to Shanglinyuan early to do it!"

......

"Xilulu"

Under Cao Xiang's repeated urging, Zhang Ran and his group of three walked out of the living room and came to the yard. At this time, Xue Tong also led a divine war horse and rushed from the backyard!

"Yahe, this horse is pretty good!"

The moment he saw this war horse, Cao Xiang's eyes lit up and subconsciously took a small step forward, looked up and down at the war horse in front of him, and praised him: "This horse is strong in size, strong in four hooves, wide in chest and long mane... It looks like a good horse! In my opinion, this horse is worth at least twenty or thirty gold in the market!"

As he said that, Cao Xiang couldn't help but turn his head and teased a little, "Brother Ran, you said you can't ride a horse. Why do you want to hide such a good horse at home? As a decoration? Today, thank you and I have come to you, otherwise I won't know when this good horse will be hidden by you!"

"Uh" Zhang Ran couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, "Brother Cao, you misunderstood! This horse was not bought by me specifically, but was rewarded by His Majesty at the last court meeting! You see, I am so poor now, how can I have the extra money to buy such a good war horse?"

"Your Majesty's reward?" Cao Xiang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but look carefully at the horse decorations on the war horse... Immediately, he suddenly said: "No wonder I look at this horse so familiar! It turned out to be the imperial horse rewarded by Your Majesty!"

However, at this moment, Huo Qubing frowned and surrounded the war horse in front of him. After careful observation, he suddenly said astonishingly: "This horse is not good!"

"What? This horse is not good!" Cao Xiang was furious when he heard Huo Qubing's words. He had just praised the horse and before he finished speaking, Huo Qubing slapped him in the face on the spot! How could Cao Xiang bear this?

So Cao Xiang glared at Huo Qubing, and said with great dissatisfaction: "Who is surnamed Huo, please tell me clearly, why can't this horse do it?"

"Ha...." Huo Qubing glanced at Cao Xiang, ignored him, and said directly to Zhang Ran, who was beside him: "Brother Ran, your horse is indeed a good horse! But you have to know that the better the horse, the more irritable his temper is, and difficult to control! Therefore, this horse is definitely a rare good friend for those riding knights! But for you, a beginner, it may not be like this! So, I think this horse is not good! It is not suitable for you now!"

"Hmph" Hearing Huo Qubing's words, Cao Xiang couldn't help but snorted coldly and looked at the other party angrily... But unexpectedly, he did not continue to quarrel with Huo Qubing as usual!

Instead, he also frowned and looked at Zhang Ran and said, "Brother Ran, Qubing is right. Although these imperial horses are very good, they are not suitable for you! I think you should have someone bring you another one!"

"Oh" When Zhang Ran heard Huo Qubing's explanation, he couldn't help but sigh. What if Zhang Ran knew about the truths Huo Qubing said so easily?

However, even though I knew that this batch of imperial horses might not be suitable for me, this is the best horse that Zhang Ran could take on in a short period of time!

Yes, Zhang Ran does have two slow horses for cart pulling. However, although these slow horses are gentle, they are not suitable for riding and have never received any riding training. Therefore, such slow horses are not useful at all!
