On February 20th, Guo Shao learned that Mrs. Gao had returned from Hebei, so he went to Dong's house to talk to her about the betrothal gift and thanked her for working hard for the marriage.

When he arrived at the Dong Mansion, Mrs. Gao asked someone to open the door and come out to greet her. When Guo Shao saw her, he couldn't help but remember the ridiculous things that last time happened. He felt a little embarrassed and his face turned slightly red. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Gao said with a smile: "The weather has become warmer, isn't breathable in the carriage? My face has been covered with redness." She said naturally and kindly, and she was jokingly.

Seeing that Mrs. Gao was so generous, Guo Shao even wondered: Did she really forget about the incident that day?

Then he went up to see him and the two exchanged greetings. Mrs. Gao said again: "Dong Zunxun was practicing equestrians on the Cuju field in the back garden. I wonder if his uncle is here. I am also a military general in the army. Why not go to the field to discuss with Zunxun?"

Guo Shao was ashamed when he heard the "uncle" and had to say, "Then according to Sister Yi's words, let's go to the Cuju venue."

The group then walked through the Sanjin yard and then entered the backyard. The house was very spacious and elegant. There was a Cuju field in the house, which was rare in the inner city of the capital. If Guo Shao remembered correctly, Dong Zunxun was the military capital of the left wing of Long Jie Army, and his level was not as high as Li Chuyun. However, he could afford such a large yard, and his family was like many slaves. As expected, people from aristocratic families were different. Guo Shao thought that a senior general, he might not necessarily be as rich as Dong Zunxun.

Together with Mrs. Gao, I walked to a spacious place. I saw soft sand on the Cuju field, and lawns were planted on the edge, which was very spacious. There were no balls on the Cuju field, and some grass men and targets were placed at this time. The sound of horse hooves came from a distance, and a young man was riding a horse, which was Dong Zunxun.

The sun was shining brightly, Mrs. Gao unfolded a delicate satin fan to block her forehead. Seeing Guo Shao looking over, she smiled and said, "I'm afraid of being tanned."

She raised the fan and walked with a hint of dust, but she still retained the reserve that women from aristocratic families should have. The two temperaments are integrated, but they have a very charming style.

There was a stable where the group came in. There was a pavilion not far from the stable. Mrs. Gao said again: "Let's go to the pavilion to sit in the shade. When Dong Zunxun sees us later, he will definitely come to pay his respects."

"Okay." Guo Shao nodded.

Sure enough, soon Dong Zunxun came over on horseback. He recognized Guo Shao, then turned over from the horse, stepped forward and knelt on one knee, and simply shouted: "Uncle! Come here, boy, please pay homage."

Guo Shao heard his name with an awkward look on his face. He stepped forward to help the young man up and said kindly, "There is no need to be polite to follow the instructions, please get up quickly." He then looked back at Mrs. Gao and said, "Sister Yi has only returned to Tokyo, but he has been working hard for my business. I have come to the door to disturb the family happiness of Sister Yi's family, and I feel very ashamed."

Unexpectedly, Dong Zunxun disagreed: "Although the boy is filial, my mother advised me to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country first and be dedicated to the military camp. My mother is always lonely and lonely without anyone to accompany me. She often mentions Uncle Guo and cares about you very much. Uncle is also my mother's life-saving benefactor. If the two families often walk around and my mother is happy, the boy will feel less guilty. There is no suspicion of disturbing me."

Mrs. Gao also said, "We just need to walk around more, otherwise we will be unfamiliar."

Guo Shao said: "It's time to come and go from time to time. But I've been troubled recently and can't walk away for a while."

Mrs. Gao had already sat down in the pavilion, folded the fan gently, and said disapprovingly: "Do you have something to do with the Zhao family? I heard that, don't worry too much. Zhao Hongyin is old and obviously got angry with his unfilial son. Zhao Sanlang is being sought to avenge his father. What does it have to do with my brother? The Zhao family is not so domineering, and his own people are committing evil, so they will expose their anger on your head."

Guo Shao nodded and said, "Thank you, Sister Yi, for speaking for me. I will just ask them for it, which will only increase my worries... Dong Zunxun was riding a horse and shooting arrows just now?"

Dong Zunxun smiled and said, "Uncle Ding Knows that if you don't practice martial arts for a long time, you will become unfamiliar. I will practice my skills casually. Hey, my uncle is a famous general who killed the powerful generals of the Northern Han Dynasty with one arrow. Why not give me some tricks?"

Guo Shao said: "I can shoot archery, and it will be very wasteful when shooting archery immediately."

Guo Shao is a general of the Imperial Army, and is famous for his own battles with powerful generals in the Northern Han Dynasty. Dong Zunxun naturally thought that he was very skilled in martial arts, so he was just modest. Guo Shao couldn't explain it at the moment: Do you think everyone is from a military general family, and he has been a child with bows, horses and shooting since he was a child? Even if his family is well-off, it is not easy to practice horses, and raising horses and the venue are a lot of money.

Dong Zunxun invited Guo Shao to the stable and said, "Uncle picks a horse at will, let's go on the field to have a competition."

Guo Shao was inconvenient to postpone too much, and he wanted to practice riding and shooting more. He happened to be free today. He looked around the stable and saw that there were seven or eight good horses inside... with only one exception. Compared with other good horses, it grew low and had a rough brown hair, and was slowly chewing on the grass there.

"Mongolian horse?" Guo Shao blurted.

Dong Zunxun said: "Mongolian horse? This horse is a Datar horse, which is also the same breed as the Khitan horse. It is a native horse breed in Shiweina. Compared with various horses in the Western Regions, the Datar horse is a bit short and does not run so fast. But horses should not be considered as appearance, and such horses should not be underestimated. It has special benefits. It is a thick skin and thick meat that eats poorly and resists cold and heat, and has good endurance. It is said that on the Datar grassland, this horse eats some grass seeds to gain weight in autumn, and can ride on war without eating food."

After hearing this, Guo Shao said casually: "You are so patient, you have to be so patient when fighting..." Suddenly, seeing Mrs. Gao avoiding her face with a shame, he suddenly felt that it was not good to have a woman swearing. He changed his words: "Cavals are too expensive, and easy-to-raise horses can reduce the logistics burden."

"That's exactly that." Dong Zunxun said.

Guo Shao paid the most attention to the Nadatar horse, and felt that it was different from the Mongolian horses seen in later generations... It is said that the later Mongolian horse breeds had degenerated and were not as powerful as the original breeds. In short, it was this kind of Mongolian horse that carried the cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty from Asia to Europe, and ran thousands of miles to loot the world. No matter how powerful the Mongolians were, if they had not supported their long-distance battles, they would not have accomplished the great cause that shocked the world without the means of transportation and delivery.

He didn't pick those tall and beautiful famous horses at the moment, but he wanted to ride this broken horse that was chewing grass and was not long.

The two of them rode to the Cuju field. Guo Shao took the bow and arrow, saw a target, ran over while stroking his bow and arrow, and a "bang" sounded, and the arrow broke out of the target without any surprise.

Dong Zunxun was stunned and said, "Uncle Guo is really not humble. Your riding and shooting posture is wrong."

Guo Shao was not arrogant, so he said, "I used to be in the Xiaodi Army Infantry Camp. I was very familiar with archery alone, but I couldn't figure out the tricks when riding a horse and archery. Why don't you teach me?"

After hearing this, Dong Zunxun pondered: "Since my uncle is proficient in archery, it is not difficult to ride and shoot. As long as you find the right posture and be more proficient, there is no difference between shooting archery on the flat... But you have to take the posture first, look at the boy."

"Driving!" Dong Zunxun kicked the horse and rushed past a target. After twenty or thirty steps, he immediately stretched his upper body and sat upright, his arms calmly, and he pulled the bow rhythmically. The arrow flew away with a "swoosh" sound, as if it was floating, but it immediately hit the bull's eye as if it had grown eyes.

Seeing this, Guo Shao praised: "Okay! You're so cute!"

He now had a desire for a yearning, not only was he eager to learn martial arts, but Guo Shao rarely rushed in person, and his martial arts were just like that. At most, he could not be called a general if he was on a battle formation... But as a general, he regarded leading troops as a career, and instinctively wanted to learn when he saw more advanced skills. The most important thing was that Dong Zunxun's elegant and powerful posture of riding horses and archery attracted Guo Shao.

During the sprint of the war horse, the stretched body lines and the calm movements... are full of a sense of power that is different from women's softness, which is better than dancing.

Guo Shao looked like he was about to try. When Dong Zunxun came back from riding a horse, he first let him learn the posture of coherence. Guo Shao changed from an "elder" to a humble and good student, and he focused on learning. Dong Zunxun made an action, and he followed it and then connected the movements together.

The two of them tinkered on the sand for a long time, but Guo Shao was so worried that he forgot what he had done to Dong's house today.

Moreover, Guo Shao felt that he had a good foundation for archery, and firmly believed that it was not too late to learn riding and archery now, and he became more enthusiastic.

Dong Zunxun taught him movements and some skills, and said, "It is too difficult to shoot sideways at the beginning, so I can't catch the opportunity. Let's try it from the front." After that, he drove his horse and rushed straight to a pair of targets. He shot arrows at thirty or forty steps, hitting the target with one strike. Guo Shao followed it and shot an arrow, floating, and shot nothing.

"Mom!" Guo Shao cursed.

The mount with ugly fur under the seat actually screamed twice as if he was laughing, as if he was laughing. Guo Shao couldn't help but pat his horse's face: "Even you laugh at me?"

After hearing this, Dong Zunxun "laughed". When Guo Shao looked back at him, he saw Mrs. Gao in the pavilion not far away, and she covered her mouth and smiled brightly.

Dong Zunxun stopped laughing and suddenly asked, "Can your uncle stab him with a rifle?"

Guo Shao shook his head and said, "I am not as proficient as the eighteen weapons that I will fight immediately. I have tried it with a saber, but I haven't tried it with a gun."

"So that's it." Dong Zunxun said, "You try to sprint the grass man with a cherry gun first, and then treat the arrow as a cherry gun, from near to far, getting farther and farther... and you'll hit it."

Guo Shao said, "I'll give it a try."

Dong Zunxun still demonstrated himself in front, and Guo Shao was behind, and the two cavalry rushed forward and backward to a row of scarecrows on the other side. Dong Zunxun rode his horse to approach, raised his cherry gun, shouted "Hell!", and stabbed the straw man with one shot. Guo Shao also followed suit and saw it right in close combat. He did not stab the other scarecrow, and he also stabbed the other scarecrow down with one shot.
