Female special forces soldiers in ancient times

On the road to the capital.

The fifth prince in the carriage remained silent, gazing at the scenery outside.

Dongning, standing to the side, asked in confusion, "Your Highness, why did you conceal your identity from Wei Yufeng?"

"Hehe, his mind is still that of a naive child."

This prince doesn't want him to lose his innocence too early, to be happy and carefree.

Living an ordinary, simple life is fine too.

Dongning smiled immediately, "Your Highness, his background is hardly ordinary."

His family is the richest in Hedong.

The Fifth Prince continued to look at the scenery outside with a calm expression.

"His status, for ordinary people or the general public..."

It may indeed be quite extraordinary, but for our royal family,

The richest person and ordinary people are both ants.

Upon hearing this, Dongning was even more confused. "Your Highness,"

"So, you and he became sworn brothers?"

"Haha, I am genuinely sworn brothers with him and I truly like him."

Alas! Don't be fooled by the large number of brothers in my family; since ancient times, there have been no kinship ties in the imperial family.

"You know their relationship with me; how is it any different from that of enemies?"

After the Fifth Prince finished speaking, he let out a heavy sigh.

Dong Ning fell silent for a moment before speaking:

"Your Highness, the identity of that wealthy young lady has been verified."

She is Li Tingting, the legitimate daughter of General Li Fei of the capital.

"The Li family, Li Tingting! Actually, I had some suspicions about her a few days ago."

However, the previous investigation data from Longyun Pavilion did not record any information that she knew martial arts.

"Why is her martial arts so powerful?" the Fifth Prince asked, his face full of confusion.

After thinking for a moment, Dongning replied, "Your Highness, perhaps it is General Li Fei."

He might have privately taught her martial arts.

The Fifth Prince smiled and withdrew his gaze from outside.

"Haha, impossible! That day, when I fought her, her martial arts were extraordinary."

It doesn't seem like something Li Fei taught.

Okay, let's not talk about her anymore. How's the investigation into Liu Xun going?

If they prove capable, I may promote them exceptionally.

Dongning nodded. "Your Highness, we sent people to investigate yesterday."

"Hmm, very good!" The Fifth Prince nodded lightly after hearing this.

......

A few days ago, Li Tingting went to the family's industrial park in the east of Qingyang County.

She was arranged to stay in a very exquisite and elegant mountain villa.

In order to find out the problems with the family farm in recent years.

She gets up every morning and goes to the fields with the farmers to carefully examine every inch of land and every crop.

After several days of observation, she finally found the root cause of the losses in Tianyuan.

Firstly, the farming methods were flawed.

Fertilizer application is either excessive or insufficient, and the timing is always misjudged.

This leads to an imbalance in soil fertility, resulting in poor crop growth;

The seeds were sown haphazardly, with some areas the seedlings clustered together.

In some places, however, production is sparse, resulting in a significant reduction in output.

Secondly, rat infestations and pests are rampant.

Every night, those wretched rats come out in droves.

They wantonly devoured the crops.

Various pests also ran rampant, wreaking havoc on the nearly ripe grains.

Having made up her mind, Li Tingting summoned the landlords and stewards in charge of each area.

Discuss solutions together.

Fortunately, she was born into a rural family in her later years, which was a consequence of improper farming practices.

When I was little, my family farmed, so I know a little about the methods.

Therefore, he diligently taught everyone.

To deal with rodent infestations and pests, she instructed farmers to dig deep ditches and set up barriers around their fields.

At the same time, they also taught everyone how to set traps to catch field mice.

Even after the field mice were caught,

She also taught everyone how to turn field mouse meat into a delicious dish.

This will greatly reduce the rodent problem in the fields.

Then he ordered people to collect herbs, brew an insect repellent, and spray it regularly.

It serves to prevent and kill insects.

After such a reorganization, the family's rural business will gradually improve in the future.

After she resolved these issues, just as she was thinking of enjoying a few days of peace and quiet,

However, she received a message from someone in the capital, urging her to return to the capital as soon as possible within the next few days.

Left with no other choice, she could only lead everyone on their journey back to the capital.

Just like last time, Li Tingting had another large cartload of items before she left.

They were all gifts for her second and third uncles, or items entrusted to her to carry for relatives in the capital.

This trip broadened Li Tingting's horizons.

It turns out that her family wields such a great influence in the capital.

First, she realized that there were so many landlords attached to her family.

Li Tingting sat in the carriage returning to the capital.

With a myriad of thoughts swirling in her mind, she knew all too well that her family's influence in the capital was extraordinary.

My second and third uncles served as officials in the imperial court for many years, and their protégés and former subordinates were found throughout the court and the country.

Their words often swayed the direction of decision-making in the imperial court.

His deceased father was a renowned general.

He fought in numerous battles during his lifetime, making outstanding contributions to the country. Although my father has passed away...

However, his former subordinates remained loyal to the Li family.

Today, the Li family also has deeply entrenched connections within the military.

Once a move is made, a large number of elite troops can be quickly mobilized.

Those landlords who were dependent on the Li family not only possessed vast lands and abundant resources,

They also control a large amount of labor and wealth.

They offered countless gifts to the Li family every year, all in hopes of gaining the Li family's protection.

In the capital, the Li family's businesses spanned various industries, from restaurants and inns to cloth shops and rice stores.

It encompasses almost everything.

A single word from the Li family can cause market prices to fluctuate wildly.

In ancient times, powerful families would generally command respect from the emperor.

And the Li family actually possesses such immense power.

It's estimated that even the current emperor would be seven parts afraid of the Li family.

If the Li family truly harbored rebellious intentions, they could quickly assemble a powerful force.

But Li Tingting knew that the Li family had been loyal and honest for generations and would never have such rebellious thoughts.

Based on her current observations of her second and third uncles,

They are the kind of people who have no ulterior motives and only want to live a stable and peaceful life.

However, on the other hand, with the Li family wielding such power, it's inevitable that they would attract jealousy and suspicion.

If one is not careful, even the slightest mistake could bring utter destruction to the family.

Suddenly, Chunmei interrupted Li Tingting, who was lost in thought in the carriage.

"Miss, look at that open space over there, isn't it wonderful!"

There are streams and meadows where horses can drink and rest.

There were also shady trees providing us with a place to rest, and the surrounding scenery was quite beautiful.

"How about we rest for a bit up ahead?"

Li Tingting quickly nodded in agreement, having thought about it all the way.

She was also feeling tired, so she decided to take a rest.

"Okay! Let everyone rest for a bit before we continue our journey."

After she finished speaking, she and Chunmei got off the carriage.

Let everyone stop and rest to relieve the fatigue from the journey.

Li Tingting and Chunmei found a shady spot under a tree.

The two lay comfortably on the large rock, chatting and laughing.

But before long, someone came and disturbed their enjoyment.

"Haha, Tingting, I've said it before, if I'm going to pursue someone..."

Even if she runs to the ends of the earth, she still can't escape my grasp.

Wei Yufeng appeared out of nowhere.

They appeared from a hidden spot on the hilltop.

At this moment, he stood with his hands on his hips, looking down at the two of them.

His face was full of smugness.
