Volume 1 Mishui Comes to the East Chapter 22 Shooting and Hunting (3)

"Or say, the northerners are good at riding, and the southerners are good at boats." On the galloping horse, Dong Yi said loudly, "Now I look at it, the southerners are also good at riding." The riding skills of the monarchs are not weaker than the heroes of the Northland! ”

"The government is ashamed, and the Furu Ming Court is far away!"

"We follow the rules and steps, the Ming Court is chic and free, and the truth is far away!"

"I don't know Dong Gong, I don't know the beauty of galloping!"

"The bamboo batch has both ears and ears, and the wind is light into the four hooves. Xiaoteng has this, thousands of miles can be rampant! Magnificent Dong Gong! ”

……

Dong Yi is indeed pretending to be forced, but Ou Xing and the others are indeed admired from the bottom of their hearts - Ou Xing They are riding horses, Dong Yi and his personal entourage, that is called the unity of a man and a horse.

The praise one after another, everyone praised and praised, and Dong Yi was refreshed and comfortable. Before the hunting began, Dong Yi's body and mind had been greatly satisfied.

The statement that the district family is a barbarian, I think, is biased - it is clear that the entire Luo County is a barbarian.

The six arts of the gentleman, the four of which are called the five royals - Ming and Luan, chasing the water, passing the monarch's table, dancing and fighting, and chasing the left.

These barbarians in Luo County are as funny as riding a horse like a mountain monkey riding a pig. According to the reins and lines, it is barely a little present; The horses galloped, one counted as one, and they were all stiff to death.

The skill of the imperial horse is so clumsy, how can he be called a gentleman?

It has been four years since Du Zhongping, and the Qianghu in the north have all used the upper horn bow, and the barbarians in Luoxian County are still using a single wooden bow.

The authentic barbarians of the Ou family are even more funny. There is a bamboo bow at the waist, and another large bamboo bow that is nearly a foot long hangs on the side of the saddle. Smile generously.

Nanban is not even as good as Beidi!

Dong Yi's sense of superiority is already overflowing.

Today, let me coach you, what is riding and shooting, what is Northland elegance.

On the galloping horse, the corners of the mouth of the former Xiliang Jun than 600 stone Zhonglang Dong Yi were already grinning to the root of his ears, and he simply laughed out loud.

"Aha, where is it, all the kings praise it!"

"Ming Ting is too humble. Our words are shallow, and we can't tell the heroic posture of the Ming Court! ”

……

There was another flattery, and Dong Yi smiled calmly. However, the former elite knight of the empire with excellent professionalism still made an unexpected discovery.

The small half-cut leather arrow hanging on the right waist of the district barbarian seems to be very doorway.

The arrows are packed into a small and flexible leather arrow, only the lower part is covered, and the feathers are exposed and spread out like fan blades, which is very convenient for the shooter to pick up the arrows. When it was bumped up and down, the arrow did not move relative to the arrow.

A fool thinks a thousand times, and he will get one. This barbarian's waist-mounted leather arrow basket is better than the Han army's backpack-type bamboo and wood arrow basket.

Go back and pick a near-horned bow and give it to this brute, in exchange for dozens or hundreds of leather arrows. Sent to the army, my brother must like it.

Looking at the two simple bamboo bows on Ou Xing's side, one large and one small, Dong Yi's heart had a plan.

"Phew~"

The lakeside camp arrived. Outside the camp, dozens of district knights turned over and dismounted, saluted Dong Yi and the others, and then quickly stepped forward to lead the horses and pedaled for the bigwigs.

This time in the lakeside hunt, 108 horses with a shoulder height of more than 5 feet 9 inches in the Ou family chong horse team poured into the nest.

Ou Xing took 20 horsemen such as Ou Kang and Ou Le to participate in the hunt with Dong Yi and others, acting as a wingman for the bigwigs, doing a good job of patting horses, picking up prey, and shooting large prey to make up for damage but not K.

The remaining 88 horsemen will patrol around the periphery, using means such as waving flags, casting chirping and driving hounds, to drive elk and other prey to the hunting area for the bigwigs to shoot.

As soon as everyone dismounted, several people from the district clan came up with wooden trays with bamboo teacups.

The people of the Ou Xing Dynasty nodded, then picked up a bamboo cup and offered it with both hands: "Dong Gong, please drink tea soup." ”

After Dong Yi took it, Ou Xing served tea to Liu Yi and others one by one.

Before Dong Yi raised his hand, a wisp of fragrance came to his face.

Stretched out his hand to take it, only to see the simple bamboo cup, the soup color is silver and green, and the tender green leaves are slowly stretched in the cup, flying up and down, which has a unique flavor.

Take a sip, slightly bitter and slightly astringent, and then there will be a cool and sweet aftertaste, fresh and fresh.

"Good!" Dong Yi admired it from the bottom of his heart, and immediately drank it all in a gulp, "Gongchen, what is this?" Great goodness, thirst quenching! ”

"Yu Mingting, this is a specialty of Jingchu, and tea is also. It's hard to find. When the Ming court returns, you might as well bring some back to the county government to try it. If you like it, allow me to make some for you. ”

"Good, then I'll be disrespectful."

After drinking tea, Ou Xing asked Dong Yi for instructions: "Ming Ting, do you want to start hunting immediately, or do you want to rest here for a while?" ”

"Of course it'......"

Dong Yi looked around as he spoke, looking at the few Luo County officials who had been upside down and had a soft skeleton, and the "start now" that had already reached his mouth was swallowed back by him.

"Gentlemen, rest here first and check the bow horses. After a quarter of an hour, ride and shoot Dongting! ”

"Yui."

A glance around, as keen as Dong Yi, has made a new discovery.

"Gongchen, the horses of the Ou family are all cars and horses."

Hearing this, Ou Xing hurriedly and respectfully explained to the county order:

"Yu Mingting, at this moment, the 108 horses of the Ou family on the shore of Dongting Lake are all more than five feet nine inches tall at the shoulder, and they are riding horses. However, among the horse teams of the Ou family, there are not a few who are less than 5 feet 9 inches tall at the shoulder. ”

"These cars and horses are all carefully selected by the district family - the pillars of the Ming Dynasty, the parents of a county, and the district family dare not use inferior horses to meet them, for fear of being rude."

These sycophants may not be of much use to others, but for Dong Yi, they are just the right amount of flattery. He squinted slightly, waved his hand, and said pretending to be reserved:

"Eh, it doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't have to be like this~"

Seeing this, Ou Xing struck while the iron was hot, and asked to hand it over with the sycophants:

"Ming Ting, Xing once heard that the Dong brothers, both wise and brave, conquered for the country, and made many meritorious deeds, and the Qianghu in the north were also greatly admired. Xingsu respects, therefore, there is one thing to ask for. ”

Speaking of this, Ou Xing took out a silk book from his arms and offered it with both hands.

"Oh?" Dong Yi was noncommittal, took the silk book, and read it.

Ou Xing continued:

"The horse is the foundation of the armor, the great use of the country, and the peace is in the order of non-respect and humility, and if there is change, it is difficult to help far and near. The imperial court once issued a horse restoration decree to encourage the people to raise horses, aiming to increase the armed forces to resist Rongdi. ”

"The star level is originally a barbarian man, and it was favored by the imperial court to be able to organize the people and bathe in education. Drinking water thinks of the source, and the stars often think about the strategy of serving the country. ”

"After hearing about the Ma Fu Order, Xing ordered the Ou clan to buy horses from many parties, raise horses for the country, and be loyal to the country!"

"However, the horses sold by the horse merchants are of high price and low quality. The district family spent a lot of money, but with little success. So far, the size of the horse team is less than 1,000. ”

"If you can borrow the prestige of Dong Gong and buy horses from Qianghu, you will get twice the result with half the effort, and it will be very good."

That being said, the silk writing is something else.

For example, the cooperation of the district directors, the district family handed over the sales of flower dew north of the Yangtze River to the Dong family agent, and carried out trade between flower dew and horses, brick tea and horses, etc.

Dong Yi was quite moved.

However, as the chief of a thousand stones, the respect of a county, it is unseemly to discuss with Jing Man in broad daylight.

After a cursory look, Dong Yi stuffed the silk book into his arms and prepared to take it back for Dong Ping to evaluate carefully.

"Gentlemen! Get on the horse and ride the shot! ”

"Yui!"

"Pound (tea) at the end of the porcelain, pour it with soup, cover it, and use green onions, ginger, and oranges. Its sobering wine makes people sleepless" - "Guangya"
