Rather than being left hanging here by Nangong Chiyu, Su Luo might as well treat this as a trip for fun.

"Alright! Thank you for your trouble, Commander."

Apart from the large training ground, there wasn't much to see in the military camp. Sun Ding introduced the eighteen martial arts to Su Luo one by one, but Su Luo was only interested in the warhorses.

"Commander Sun, may I ride your warhorses?"

Sun Ding glanced back at Nangong Chiyu. The Deputy Minister of Agriculture was brought by the Prince. Riding a horse in the military camp, the Prince wouldn't say anything, would he?

"Yes, but warhorses are spirited. If the Deputy Minister of Agriculture doesn't know how to ride a horse, he might not be able to control them."

Su Luo walked past the stable and pointed to a black horse.

"This one will do. I've ridden it occasionally when I go out. It's just a horse, no problem controlling it."

Sun Ding pulled the horse out of the stable. This horse was a very wild and spirited steed. Sun Ding didn't know if Su Luo could handle horses. If she rode this one, she might be thrown off.

“Warhorses are different from horses used at home. Deputy Minister of Agriculture, why don’t you change to a more docile horse? Apart from our Prince and Deputy General Chi, no one can tame this horse.”

Su Luo's personality is one of innate unwillingness to admit defeat. With her skills and balance, taming a horse is nothing.

“I want it. Commander Sun, you don’t need to worry. I know what I’m doing.”

With that, Su Luo took two steps back, then used her toes to cleverly jump onto the horse's back.

The black horse raised its front hooves high and let out a long neigh, as if it wanted to throw Su Luo off.

This scene made everyone gasp, especially since Su Luo's horse didn't even have a saddle.

Nangong Chiyu's heart skipped a beat. Although he was angry with Su Luo, he didn't want her to get hurt.

Fortunately, after the horse's hooves landed, Su Luo was able to hold onto the horse's neck and didn't fall off.

This black horse, like its aloof appearance, was incredibly fierce. The moment its feet touched the ground, it galloped forward, determined to shake Su Luo off.

Su Luo wasn't going to let it do whatever it wanted. If she wanted to, there was nothing she couldn't do. Right now, she was just taming a horse.

"Be careful, Deputy Minister of Agriculture!"

Fearing that Su Luo would fall, Sun Ding pulled over another horse, mounted it, and chased after her.

"Vice Minister of Agriculture, stay calm and don't panic."

Nangong Chiyu slammed his spear into the ground, intending to rescue Su Luo, but he realized that Su Luo was gradually gaining control of the horse.

The black horse was hard to tame. It slung Su Luo around the racetrack seven or eight times. Every time it tried to shake Su Luo off, it would calm down a little when it couldn't shake her off no matter what it did.

Gradually, they gave up struggling. Horses are actually very intelligent species, especially wild horses like this one, which bully the weak and fear the strong.

Whoever rides it fiercely will make it soften; if someone else rides it, it will be just like when Su Luo first encountered it.

"Deputy Minister of Agriculture, you actually managed to tame this warhorse. Have you really never learned to ride a horse?"

Sun Ding was greatly shocked to see the fiercest horse calmed down by Su Luo's riding training; just now, it had clearly been defiant towards Su Luo.

Su Luo also said that she only rides a horse occasionally, so how could she tame such a wild horse on a casual ride? What kind of talent does she have?

"I haven't specifically learned how to ride a horse, it's just riding. As long as you don't submit to it, it will only submit to you."

Su Luo spoke lightly, but only those who had actually ridden horses into battle knew these things.

“The Deputy Minister of Agriculture has truly impressed me. With you and me, there are only three people who can tame this horse.”

Nangong Chiyu watched the two people on the horse field. Su Luo was training the horse with a heroic and spirited manner. The horse galloped, and the hoof kicked up sand, which was swept by the wind and brushed against her temples.

She did not back down. Although the black horse's speed was like lightning cutting through the sky, Su Luo still rode steadily on its back.

A smile flickered in his eyes. This was truly the first time he had ever met a woman like this—stubborn, bold, with a bad temper, and sometimes prone to playfulness.

"Commander Sun, what weapon do you use most often when fighting on horseback on the battlefield?"

Su Luo was also curious: in this era where everything was scarce, what could one use to better fight enemies while riding a horse?

If it were her, she would think that using the firearms 'guns' in her space would be the best and most lethal option.

"I thought the Deputy Minister of Agriculture was only interested in crops, but I didn't expect you to be interested in matters of the battlefield as well."

Sun Ding has an honest appearance, but he is tall and imposing. When he is not wearing armor, he gives people the impression of being a big, clumsy guy.

“My husband died on the battlefield, so I want to know more about it.”

Su Luo was talking nonsense; she just wanted to know, but Chen Huaixu was a more convenient excuse.

Sun Ding dared not smile anymore. He knew Su Luo was a widow, but he didn't know that her husband had died on the battlefield. The couple had a deep love for each other, no wonder the Deputy Minister of Agriculture wanted to know more.

"I see. Deputy Minister of Agriculture, please look over there. When we fight on horseback, the front ranks usually use shields to prevent enemy attacks."

Sun Ding dismounted and showed Su Luo the weapons one by one: "But we can't just defend without attacking. The weapons we use most often are this spear and the long gun."

Sun Ding handed a spear to Su Luo, who was still on horseback. Both the spear and the lance were long-range weapons.

However, the spear is a heavy weapon, larger in size and with a different construction, making it more suitable for throwing and sweeping attacks.

Long spears are better suited for long-range attacks and intimidating enemies, and both are commonly used in mounted combat.

Su Luo was holding a long spear; it seemed to be the one Nangong Chiyu had been practicing with earlier.

She turned to look at Nangong Chiyu, and happened to see him looking at her. Su Luo raised her hand to greet him, but he turned away, leaving only his back to her.

Seeing the prince like this, Sun Ding was afraid that Su Luo would be upset, after all, women are sensitive.

"Please don't mind, Vice Minister of Agriculture. Our Prince has forgotten many things, so he is cold to everyone. Actually, he is a very nice person."

Su Luo knew that Nangong Chiyu was an upright person, but he was always unpredictable and had an intimidating aura that made people feel that they should not get close to him.

"Never mind him, let's continue!"

"good!"

Sun Ding continued to explain to Su Luo the uses and methods of these weapons, as well as how to quickly attack the enemy.

Nangong Chiyu turned and went into his private tent, not allowing anyone to enter. His Chiyu army could only stand outside.

He was very annoyed. He had been staring at Su Luo for a moment, and he didn't even realize that he had been distracted and that she had caught him.

For a prince to stare at a woman like that is truly shameful. I wonder what Su Luo would think of him if she saw it.

"Your Highness, the water you requested has arrived!"

"Come in!"

A junior officer brought water to Nangong Chiyu, who drank two bowls in one go before stopping.

"Send some water to the Deputy Minister of Agriculture as well!" After a pause, Nangong Chiyu added, "Send tea as well; she likes to drink tea."

"Yes, Your Highness!"
