After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

Wei Zi took off the pearl earrings and looked at her calmly: "Second sister has been staring at me since she came back. Could it be that she wants to talk to me about my mother's affairs?"

Wei Feishan looked away and walked towards her bed indifferently: "I was just thinking that you are obviously my mother's biological daughter, but how come you are nothing like her in character."

Wei Zi smiled: "My sister's personality is very similar to that of my mother."

The same goes her own way, the same hope that she will get out of the Zhen Guogong's mansion earlier.

Wei Feifan paused for a while in tidying the bed, and didn't make any more noise.

The next day.

The emperor recovered from his head illness, and ordered all civil and military officials and their families to go to the martial arts field.

According to the usual practice, every time before the official start of the winter hunting, a military strategic exercise will be held on the martial arts field. The younger generation will participate, and the older generation officials will give pointers and sum up, so as to motivate the younger generation and boost the morale of the court.

In the past, civil servants recited poems and wrote prose to attract attention. Today, the young generals seem to be proud and proud, showing off their might. It would be even better if the girl's heart can form a good relationship.

Wei Zi sat on the banquet and asked curiously: "Why is it held on the water?"

The observation seats are set up by the lake. At this moment, hundreds of warships are moored on the lake. Flags of different colors are already hung on the ship towers. Countless soldiers are standing by the drums, ready to go.

Wei Feishan secretly rolled his eyes, and muttered in a low voice: "What a fuss, I really haven't seen the world."

"Go away!"

Zhou Jing pushed Wei Feifan away, sat next to Wei Zi, and explained: "Our Great Zhou Kingdom has feuded with Beiyan for hundreds of years. Beiyan has a vast territory and vast grasslands, and the plain horse battle is very good. Our Great Zhou can slightly win The only way forward is water warfare. The current border between the two countries is the Xuanhu River, and Beiyan soldiers are not good at water warfare, and they are unable to attack repeatedly. It is a natural barrier. Therefore, every three years, the father will arrange for winter hunting. A military exercise on the water."

Wei Zi suddenly said: "That's how it is."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but think of the north of the Xuanhu River.

The sixteen cities north of the Xuanhu River belonged to the Great Zhou State in the past, but they were taken away by Beiyan 18 years ago.

Was it because of the death of King Dingbei that those sixteen cities were lost?

The second brother said that King Dingbei was the god of war in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Zeng's army went deep into the holy mountain in the hinterland of Beiyan to capture their princess alive.

King Dingbei must be very good at plain horse fighting...

As she was thinking, Zhou Jing mischievously pulled her face: "I want to play too. My brother Huang and your brother drew lots and I will follow them. Xiao Zi, if I win the first prize, I will give you the prize as a gift to congratulate you on accepting your relatives and returning home!"

Wei Zi frowned and nodded seriously: "Then I wish Jing'er a triumphant return!"

A total of twelve teams participated in the water warship rehearsal.

The emperor Zhou Shuo propped up half of his face, sitting lazily in the center of the viewing platform, twisting the emerald beads with one hand.

He narrowed his eyes and waved his hands calmly.

The eunuch beside him bowed, and then announced the rules loudly: "Today's water battle, there are twelve teams in total. Each team is equipped with a general, two lieutenants, and a hundred soldiers. There is a tower in the center of the lake. Which team The team that takes the lead in capturing the colorful flag on the tower will be the leader of the day—in addition, unlike previous years, each team will add another coach in this water battle, and each coach will have a pennant in his hand. The team with the most pennants will be tied for the leader!"

The voice fell to the ground, and the audience was in an uproar.

Twelve teams competed for the same colored flag, which was already very intense and tense.

Coupled with the capture of the pennant in the hands of the coach, isn't this a deliberate design to make the twelve teams fight?

The eunuch smiled, and sang in a drawn-out tone: "Generals, please choose your own commander!"

The arena was noisy again.

Since you can choose your own coach, you must choose someone who is strong, brave and martial, so that you can protect the pennant.

The young military generals who failed to play immediately became extremely popular, and were quickly robbed by the major teams. Even Zhou Xianyang was invited by a team to serve as the coach to take care of the pennant.

Wei Zi watched nervously.

At this moment, her gaze was suddenly attracted by someone: "Second brother?"

Xiao Fengxian was standing by the lake, the black and gold thin armor that fitted him made him extraordinarily tall and straight, the collar and arrow sleeves of the dark black robe were exposed under the thin armor, and the leather belt around the waist further accentuated his wide shoulders and narrow waist. The fluffy ponytail was bundled up high in the red gold carved flower crown, and the slightly curly hair tail was flying wantonly in the cold wind like splashed ink. He was holding the heavy black iron war halberd, and his bright eyebrows and eyes were more sinister and sharp than usual.

Wei Zi squeezed the handkerchief tightly.

Second brother...

Is he going too?

Besides Wei Zi, some other people were also attracted by Xiao Fengxian.

"Xiao Fengxian? Didn't he become an official through the imperial examination? Since he is a civil servant, why does he want to participate in this water battle?"

"Most scholars are powerless, can he do it?"

"..."

Wei Zi suppressed the throbbing in his heart.

In the previous life, Xiao Fengxian was promoted by military exploits until she became powerful. In this life, it seems that there will be no exception.

This water battle is the best opportunity for him to show off his abilities.

However, because they doubted Xiao Fengxian's ability to lead the army in battle, the young military officers present were afraid that they would be humiliated by being the last one, so no one wanted to be the coach of his team.

Wei Huanjin had already changed his armor, and said with a smile: "These people are really blind. They don't know how powerful Brother Xiao is. I saw his riding and shooting skills with my own eyes on the outskirts of the city. It's a pity that I have to fight today, so I can't be his Coach, otherwise, I will fight side by side with him."

Wei Ling stroked his beard lightly, but did not speak.

There was a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

He has never seen Xiao Fengxian's kung fu, but he knows countless people. Xiao Fengxian's body is strong and strong, and he can fully support the armor. He holds the heavy halberd in his hand without any burden. It can be seen that it is obviously private. I have worked hard underneath.

The younger generation is unwilling to endure hardships, and those rich and well-clothed sons and daughters can't learn both civil and military skills. It's really rare for him to be able to have these abilities from a rural background.

Unfortunately……

He glanced in the direction of Yan Nong.

It's a pity that he went astray after all.

The eunuch in charge of recording held a pen and paper, and asked Xiao Fengxian cautiously: "Xiao Shilang, who is the coach you have chosen?"

Xiao Fengxian raised his halberd and pointed it at a person in the crowd.

The eunuch looked over, and couldn't help being stunned, and then said with a smile on his face: "Could it be that the person you picked is Miss Wei from the Duke's Mansion? This... this...she is a girl!"

"You didn't say you can't let a woman be the coach," Xiao Fengxian gave him a sideways glance, "I'm going to choose her."

Wei Zi was still waiting and watching, when suddenly a little Huangmen hurried over and said respectfully: "Miss Wei, please move to the lakeside, Master Xiao chooses you to be his coach."

Wei Zi suspected that he heard it wrong: "What?"

"Master Xiao chose you to be his coach."

Xiao Huangmen repeated, also in disbelief.

Although it is a drill, isn't it nonsense to let a woman go to the battlefield?

When the drums of war sound, I'm afraid that this delicate little girl Wei will be frightened out of her nerves on the spot!
