Zhou had not learned to wield a halberd specifically, so she used the weapon as a stick, and she wielded it with great vigor, and the noise she made was quite frightening.

King Ping had been no pushover for many years. When he saw her halberd coming towards him, he stretched out one hand and grabbed it, forcing the halberd to stop moving forward.

Zhou shouted loudly, and with his long spear, he pushed Prince Ping back several meters.

King Ping was surprised. He knew that Zhou was very strong, but he didn't expect that she was so much stronger than him.

For a moment, he was afraid to confront it head-on, so he had to give up trying to grab the halberd and kicked it sideways to prevent it from moving forward.

The two of them were fighting fiercely on the field, and the others were watching with great interest.

However, it didn't take long for King Ping to see that Zhou had more strength than moves, his attack method was too simple and had many flaws.

Ji Changying naturally also noticed that King Ping's attack had become fierce and difficult to resist.

"Bend over! Poke him in the calf!"

"Dodge left! Attack him under the armpit!"

"Hit horizontally! Attack his waist!"

Ji Changying couldn't help but stand up and remind Zhou.

Zhong Lizhou glared at her: "You are cheating!"

"You can also guide if you want, let's all come together!"

Ji Changying retorted.

It’s not that she is so competitive, but her mother has always been victorious. If she suffers a Waterloo today, wouldn’t that be too depressing?

Unfortunately, Ji Changying was not experienced enough in martial arts training. Although Zhou managed to hold on for a few more moves under her guidance, Prince Ping still snatched the halberd from her hand and placed it on her neck: "You lose."

Zhou stared in disbelief.

She didn't even see the other party's movements clearly, and the halberd in her hand was snatched away?

In comparison, King Ping looked very calm and was already very happy in his heart.

A smile also appeared on Song Ruqing's lips.

"You're just bullying me because I haven't practiced martial arts. If I had, you would never be able to beat me!"

Zhou has always been very confident in herself, but this is the first time she has suffered such a big setback, and she is a little angry.

King Ping laughed and said, "You lost today anyway."

"If I were anything like you, you wouldn't be able to beat me!"

"You just lose."

"Let's have another fight!"

"You just lost in another fight."

“You! Aa ...

Zhou angrily picked up the weapon rack and threw it at King Ping.

Ji Fengshou broke out in a cold sweat: "Yue Niang! Calm down!"

Ji Changying raised her foot to walk over, but was stopped by Zhong Lizhou: "No hurry."

She turned her head to look at Princess Ping, who was even leisurely drinking tea. When she saw Zhou carrying the weapon rack, her eyes lit up and she applauded.

····

Oh! She was too nervous.

Zhou carried a weapon rack and fought for only a few dozen moves before he was defeated again by King Ping.

"Hahaha! You lost again!"

“Come again!”

····

The two fought in the training ground for nearly an hour. Zhou was so exhausted that she was out of breath and sat down on the ground. "No... No more! No more! I'm tired."

King Ping bared his teeth and said, "Are you convinced?"

Zhou replied unwillingly: "I don't accept it!!"

Song Ruqing saw that the two men had almost finished fighting, and fearing that they would start fighting again, he quickly ordered the servants to set the table: "Okay, if you have anything to say, talk at the table."

Ji Fengshou and Ji Changying looked at each other, with some worry in their eyes.

I'm afraid this meal is not tasty!

After Zhou and Prince Heping finished washing up, everyone was already sitting in the dining room waiting.

There were eight dishes and one soup neatly arranged on the table, and they were all delicious.

Zhou stood by the table, her eyes seemed to be attracted by the food and she didn't even blink.

Seeing this, Song Ruqing smiled and said, "Let's eat!"

Zhou had been active for so long that her stomach was already empty. Upon hearing this, she picked up her bowl and started eating.

King Ping's actions were similar to hers. When he saw the food, he had already forgotten his purpose.

Seeing that no one spoke, Ji Fengshou hurriedly ate his meal, thinking in his heart that he should finish eating quickly and leave.

"I called you here today because I have something to say."

Watching Zhou devour two bowls of rice in no time, Song Ruqing spoke.

Ji Changying sighed inwardly, feeling as if she had finally spoken: "You go ahead."

"I have discussed this with the prince. It would be a shame to waste your two great talents, so we would like to induct you into the Red Sleeves Army."

"Red Sleeves Army?"

Ji Changying was very confused. Why did this sound like a name from a military camp?

"I don't care. I'll listen to my daughter!" Zhou said and concentrated on eating.

Song Ruqing simply gave up explaining to her and turned to look at Ji Changying: "The Red Sleeve Army is the name I gave it. It's all women, but after I was injured a few years ago, they are no longer as strong as before."

Song Ruqing looked lost and a little depressed.

Zhonglizhou was anxious: "Mother! Why don't you have martial ethics? Where are these two people? You take the older one, and leave the younger one to me!"

Ji Changying turned her head and looked at Zhong Lizhou with a dangerous look in her eyes: "Do you think you can be picky when buying vegetables?!"

Song Ruqing also looked at him disapprovingly: "Don't make trouble, your place is full of men, it's not appropriate for a woman to go there."

"Why is that wrong? Men and women are treated the same at our border. We don't differentiate between men and women when we kill the enemy!"

Ji Fengshou was anxious: "Impossible! My daughter won't go!"

Zhou finally looked up from her bowl: "Then I won't go either! I still have to go home and take care of the cattle and sheep at home!"

King Ping glared angrily, "God has given you such a great talent, but you don't make good use of it. You're still thinking of going home to raise cattle and sheep? Is that all you have?"

Ji Changying was troubled by the noise: "I think we need to go back and discuss it."

Song Ruqing nodded in understanding. "I know you might think it's unethical for women to join the army. Our Red Sleeves Army has been established for over ten years and has achieved countless military victories. You may not have heard of our great reputation outside, but within the army, we stand proudly before everyone and are respected."

"I want to say that regardless of gender, no one is inherently inferior to anyone else! Women are no less capable than men in what they can do! I hope that women like you will first face yourselves."

Ji Fengshou's angry expression calmed down a bit after hearing this, but he still couldn't accept it for a while.

Without caring about any etiquette, he pulled Zhou and Ji Changying away.

"Pedantic!"

Zhongli Zhou snorted and sat down.

Song Ruqing was very calm: "After all, they haven't always lived in Liangzhou. It's understandable that they can't accept it. After all, isn't the Red Sleeves Army still a regular army not recognized by the court?"

A trace of guilt crossed Prince Ping's face. "It's all my fault... It's the result of my background... Your Red Sleeves Army has never been recognized by the court. Don't worry! No matter what method I use, I will definitely make them agree!"

Zhonglizhou's neck veins bulged, and he couldn't help but throw down his chopsticks. "What has this got to do with Father?! It's clearly Grandfather's favoritism! He, he wasn't satisfied with humiliating Father last time, so this time he sent Cui Hao to bring a special imperial edict, which is full of insults against Father!!!"
