Female special forces soldiers in ancient times

General Li's Mansion in the capital.

General Li Fei had two brothers, and Li Fei was the eldest.

Li Zhong is the second oldest, and Li Xiang is the third oldest.

Besides the two brothers, there were also several sisters. In short, the Li family was a prominent family in the capital.

This is a dynasty called the Great Xia, a parallel universe in history.

It was not recorded in history.

Here, not only is Li Tingting's father, Li Fei, a first-rank general in the imperial court,

Even Li Tingting's two uncles, Li Zhong and Li Xiang, held high-ranking positions in the imperial court.

Their extended family members, including aunts, uncles, and cousins, were either officials in the capital.

Whether they were in business or not, they were a powerful and influential family.

The woman who came to General Li's residence today was Madam Lin, Li Zhong's wife.

Li Tingting's mother passed away when she was young, and Li Tingting was practically raised by Madam Lin.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the two of them are like mother and daughter.

Although the two families lived in different parts of the city, one in the south and the other in the north, they were more than ten kilometers apart.

The two families often interacted and had a very close relationship.

Sometimes, Li Tingting would even stay at Li Zhong's house for several days at a time.

Li Zhong simply arranged a room for him at home.

It was specially designated as Li Tingting's boudoir.

At this moment, the atmosphere at General Li's mansion was extremely tense.

Then, a woman named Madam Lin, dressed in magnificent brocade and adorned with pearls and jade, appeared in a flurry of activity, leading her children.

She stormed into the mansion early in the morning, her eyebrows as dark as distant mountains.

But his face was contorted with anger, and his phoenix eyes were wide open, filled with fury.

Beneath her straight nose, her tightly pursed lips betrayed her anxiety.

His fair face flushed red with anger.

"Aunt Liu, my Tingting has been missing for over a month, and there's still no news of her."

How exactly did you take charge of the General's Mansion?

Madam Lin's eyebrows furrowed, her eyes widened in anger, and her voice was filled with urgency and fury.

Concubine Liu trembled with fright and quickly and carefully apologized.

"Second sister-in-law, please calm down. For the past month or so..."

I was also worried day and night, sending people everywhere to search for Tingting's whereabouts.

There's absolutely no trace of Cocoa!

Madam Lin stepped forward and pointed her finger at Concubine Liu's nose.

"Hmph! You vixen, you're always so restless!"

Now that Tingting has disappeared right under your nose, you are undeniably responsible!

Concubine Liu cried pitifully, "Second sister-in-law, I really have done my best..."

I have confirmed that Tingting was kidnapped by bad guys.

I am also in a state of utter confusion right now.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Madam Lin shouted angrily.

"If you hadn't neglected to discipline her, how could Tingting have suffered such a calamity?"

You have to give me an explanation today!

Concubine Liu was so frightened that she knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Second sister-in-law, please spare me! I will definitely continue searching!"

"I won't give up until I find Tingting."

Madam Lin snorted coldly, "I'm warning you, if anything happens to Tingting, I'll make you pay!"

At this moment, everyone in the mansion fell silent, as if the air had frozen.

"Second sister-in-law, please don't get so angry, it's not good for your health."

I know you cherish Tingting, but I'm just as anxious as you are.

These past few days I've been so worried I haven't been able to sleep at night, and a few strands of my hair have turned white.

Concubine Liu trembled with fear at Madam Lin's words.

He quickly and humbly coaxed her.

"Yes! Second Aunt, my mother has been so worried about my eldest sister during the time she was missing."

Don't worry! My eldest sister is kind and compassionate; she will surely be blessed with good fortune and return safely soon!

Li Qianqian, who was standing nearby, also pleaded for them in a low voice.

Although Madam Lin is only Li Fei's sister-in-law, she is Li Zhong's legal wife.

Compared to Concubine Liu's status, that was worlds apart.

Only Li Tingting's biological mother can be her equal.

Mrs. Lin took a deep breath, looked at Li Qianqian, and her attitude softened slightly.

"Qianqian, since you say so, I will give you some more time."

You and your daughter need to pay more attention to Tingting's situation and send more people to search for her.

If I find out you dare to neglect me, then no amount of pleading on my behalf will be of any use!

Concubine Liu and Li Qianqian's mother nodded frantically, like chickens pecking at rice.

"Yes, yes, second sister-in-law, please rest assured! We will do our best to search."

After hearing their assurances, Madam Lin did not linger and turned to leave.

As she walked out of the living room, Mrs. Lin glanced towards Li Tingting's bedroom.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and after a sigh, she continued on her way.

Liu's concubine and her daughter followed closely behind, catching up and pretending to try to persuade them to stay.

"Second sister-in-law, you've come all this way so early in the morning, working so hard."

Why not stay and have some tea, and then head back after lunch?

Mrs. Lin refused without turning her head, "No, no, as soon as I hear news of Tingting..."

Just remember to let me know.

Seeing his mother's worry, Madam Lin's son, Li Qing, volunteered to give her a lecture.

"Hmph! My mother is worried about my eldest sister's safety. You'd better send more people to look for her."

Remember, I want to see him alive or dead.

Upon hearing this, Madam Lin flew into a rage and slapped Li Qing across the head.

He cursed loudly, "You little beast, if you can't speak properly, then shut up!"

Li Qing covered her head, looking aggrieved, and said, "Mother, I was just anxious."

I just felt that no matter what the situation, there had to be a result.

Everyone wanted to laugh but dared not.

Madam Lin was both angry and helpless: "You brat, all you do is talk nonsense!"

I think you're asking for trouble.

Li Qing shrank back and muttered under his breath:

"I'm just hoping that my eldest sister will have news soon. Oh, Mom, don't be angry."

Madam Lin glared at him angrily.

"Hmph! That's such an unlucky thing to say, how could your mother not beat you?"

.....

Taohuajiang County, although it is a thousand miles away from the capital,

But this did not affect its prosperity.

The houses and streets in the city are arranged in an orderly and crisscrossing pattern, with pedestrians and vehicles bustling about.

Shops lined the city streets, and the streets were bustling with people.

Shouts and hawking could be heard everywhere.

A wide river rushes past the county town, with rows of flower boats swaying on its surface.

The sounds of string and wind instruments filled the air. The decorated flower boats were exquisite, some ornate and some elegant.

As night falls, the boat is brightly lit, like twinkling stars falling onto the river.

This was a place of leisure for high-ranking officials and nobles, and also a source of inspiration for literati and scholars.

It was also a major brothel in the area.

After leaving the mountain stronghold, Li Tingting walked for dozens of miles before entering the city.

After entering the city, she began a shopping spree.

During this period, she went through many hardships, and her clothes were already worn out.

She thought she should dress herself up nicely, after all, what girl doesn't love to look beautiful?

Moreover, she took a lot of silver from the mountain stronghold, and with enough money,

That way, she can shop to her heart's content.

So, without hesitation, she bought a snow-white dress and some exquisite items.
