Female special forces soldiers in ancient times

In a mountain village in Qingyang County.

That day, Liu Xun and his two brothers were drinking heavily.

But their fun was interrupted when a lowly henchman ran in.

"Reporting to the chief, a young master named Huang Wu has arrived outside. He says he wants to see you."

The third brother, Cao Meng, shouted impatiently, "What Huang Wu, Wang Liu, what nonsense!"

Can't you see the boss is busy? Hurry up and go out and get rid of him.

"We don't have time to deal with the boss."

Liu Xun and Zhang Zhi exchanged a glance.

Zhang Zhi thought for a moment, "Brother, could it be that when we met that seemingly celestial being in town last time..."

The Fifth Young Master Huang who had the dispute with them?

Liu Xun lowered his head and thought for a moment, "Hmm, that's right! It should be them."

"Hmph! They actually dare to come. Are they here to fight us again?" Cao Meng cursed impulsively.

Zhang Zhi glared at him. "Third brother, don't be impulsive!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Liu Xun again, "Brother, didn't you mean people like them?"

Do they look down on our small place? Could it be...?

"Haha, second brother, don't panic. Perhaps they're just passing by."

I reckon they came today with no ill intentions, so don't worry!

Liu Xun calmly comforted the two of them.

After saying that, Liu Xun raised his hand and gestured to the henchmen: "Go and invite Young Master Huang and the others in."

Before long, Young Master Huang Wu entered the house with several attendants.

On this day, the Fifth Prince was dressed in fine clothes, holding a folding fan, and exuding elegance.

Liu Xun stood up, clasped his hands in greeting, and said with a smile, "Young Master Huang, how have you been?"

The Fifth Prince smiled and returned the greeting: "Master Liu, it's been a long time."

That day in town, we parted ways and months passed; unfortunately, I was too busy with other matters.

I finally had a little free time today, so I came to visit Brother Liu.

Liu Xun quickly greeted him, "Brother Huang, please have a seat. May I ask what brings you here, young master?"

The Fifth Prince gently waved his folding fan and slowly said, "I just happened to be passing by."

I've come specifically to ask Boss Liu for a drink, hahaha!

Liu Xun laughed heartily, "Brother Huang's arrival at my humble abode has truly made this place shine!"

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Huang Wu Gongzi was very polite, and Liu Xun also treated him with courtesy.

Finally, Liu Xun waved his hand and said, "Quickly get some clean bowls and chopsticks. Today, I'm going to have a few drinks with Brother Huang."

Everyone took their seats, and after several rounds of drinks, Young Master Huang took a small sip of wine.

He slowly put down his wine glass, his expression becoming serious.

"Master Liu, to be honest, I have another matter to tell you today."

The Fifth Prince paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.

“I am not an ordinary rich young master; I am the fifth son of the current emperor.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Xun and the others were all taken aback and looked at each other in bewilderment.

The Fifth Prince continued, "I have long heard of the unparalleled loyalty and righteousness between Chief Liu and the brothers of the stronghold."

It was renowned throughout the area.

I have come here with the sincere hope that you will all submit to the court and contribute to the country and its people.

I know that you are all used to being carefree in the mountain stronghold, but if you can do something practical for the people, then your lives will not have been in vain.

Moreover, the imperial court will certainly reward those who have made contributions and will not treat you unfairly.

I hope that Chief Liu will not refuse.

Liu Xun frowned and fell into deep thought, and the atmosphere in the room became heavy for a moment.

Cao Meng grumbled unhappily, "Fifth Prince, we brothers have always been carefree and at ease in this mountain stronghold..."

What good would it do for us roughnecks to submit to the imperial court? Humph, please forgive us, we are powerless to help you!

Zhang Zhi glared at Cao Meng and scolded, "Third brother, don't be rude!"

"Do not be so insolent before the Fifth Prince!"

Then he turned to the Fifth Prince, clasped his hands in apology, and said, "Fifth Prince, please don't be offended. My third brother is impetuous by nature, and I hope you will forgive him."

Liu Xun bowed slightly, his expression respectful yet somewhat troubled.

He said, "Fifth Prince, we are honored by your kindness and respect for us brothers."

However, we have lived in this mountain stronghold for a long time and are used to being at ease. We are really worried that we will not be able to adapt to the various rules and regulations of the imperial court.

Furthermore, we are just rough men, and we don't have any great skills.

I fear that if I were to join the imperial court, I would not only be of no help but also cause you trouble.

We hope that the Fifth Prince can understand our predicament.

The Fifth Prince smiled and said, "I understand the feelings of Brother Liu and the other brothers."

But now His Majesty is preparing to establish a Crown Prince, and various factions within the court...

They are all eager to make their move and attempt to rearrange things, but I, too, have my own ambitions.

Unfortunately, he had very few capable subordinates, making it difficult to gain any advantage.

Liu Xun asked, puzzled, "Your Highness, since the court has newly established the position of Crown Prince,

This is a matter of national importance; how can we, mere country folk, possibly offer any help?

The Fifth Prince sighed softly, his brows furrowed in worry, and said, "Brother Liu, you may not know this,

My eldest brother, the emperor, indulges in wine and women all day long, neglecting state affairs.

He only knows how to enjoy himself; if he were to inherit the throne, the people of the world would likely be plunged into misery.

As for the second prince, although he was somewhat clever, he was narrow-minded.

Selfish and unscrupulous in achieving their goals, they lack any virtue of a benevolent ruler.

The third prince was even worse; outwardly kind and benevolent towards the empress dowager, he was actually ambitious, stubborn, and self-willed.

He is surrounded by sycophants; if he were to take power, the court would surely descend into chaos.

As for the fourth prince, he has lofty ambitions but is indecisive and unlikely to achieve great things.

This prince truly cannot bear to see this magnificent land fall into the hands of such incompetent people.

That's why they are so eager to recruit talented people to work together on a great cause and bring happiness to all people.

"Master Liu, my brothers, can you truly bear to see the people of the world suffer without lending a helping hand to this court?"

Liu Xun frowned again, lost in thought.

A moment later, he looked at the Fifth Prince, cupped his hands, and asked:

"If Your Highness gains power in the future, how will you realize your ambitions?"

After a moment's thought, the Fifth Prince said firmly, "Brother Liu, you may not know..."

In the current state of affairs, the officials in the court only know how to protect each other and stick together for warmth.

The concubines in the palace only knew about romance and scheming to win favor.

The princes were short-sighted, focusing only on how to seize the position of crown prince.

Even my father, the Emperor, only thought about how to consolidate the empire.

After the Fifth Prince finished speaking, everyone gasped, stunned by his bold remarks.

Liu Xun was startled and quickly said, "Fifth Prince, your words are extremely treasonous!"

If someone with malicious intent were to overhear this, it could bring about a great disaster!

Cao Meng's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief: "Your Highness,"

Your assessment of His Majesty and the princes in this way is...this is far too risky!"

Zhang Zhi looked nervous, glanced around, and lowered his voice, saying, "Your Highness, be careful what you say!"

Although this place is a fortified village, if word gets out, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The Fifth Prince, however, remained resolute and fearless: "I am well aware that my words just now were too treasonous."

But how many people in the entire court are truly dedicated to the well-being of the people?

If we cannot speak frankly, how can we find truly like-minded individuals to work together to change this chaotic situation?

Liu Xun and the others remained silent, feeling both admiration and worry for the Fifth Prince's courage and determination.

The Fifth Prince picked up his wine cup, drank it all in one gulp, and slammed his hand on the table.

Mustering his courage, he said, "If I were to gain power in the future, I would certainly change the current situation of the entire court."

We must never again allow the people of the world to suffer the tragedy of exchanging their own children for food!

"Ah..." Liu Xun and the others saw the Fifth Prince's ambition.

More importantly, he was so well-informed about the common people's cannibalism and even the practice of exchanging children to eat.

It seems that he has the potential to be a wise and benevolent ruler who serves the country and its people.

Liu Xun was perhaps moved by his bold words; after a moment's thought,

Suddenly, he knelt on one knee, cupped his hands, and said, "Liu Xun greets His Highness the Fifth Prince."
