Liu Bei was greatly embarrassed.

The three brothers swore brotherhood to start a business, focusing solely on building a large and successful enterprise, and none of them had started families yet.

Unexpectedly, the current prince, who is not short of women, also wants to hire prostitutes. Perhaps he is looking for something new and exciting.

My impression of Liu Wei's imposing presence from earlier has suddenly diminished considerably.

"In Pingyuan City, there is a brothel where the girls only sing; they sell their art, not their bodies!"

The brothel was not a brothel; it was a high-end entertainment venue, similar to the modern-day "Heaven on Earth" (a notorious nightclub).

The women inside were all talented, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

As for whether you want to experience playing wind and string instruments and singing, that depends on whether you have the ability to get a girl to open her arms to you.

"Selling your art but not your body only means the money isn't right!"

Liu Wei smiled slightly, "Tonight, I invite you, my royal uncle, to come to this brothel to listen to music!"

"My officers have traveled a long way and also want to relax."

Liu Bei narrowed his eyes, his expression stiffening, showing extreme resistance.

It was one thing for Liu Wei to want to hire prostitutes and listen to music, but he also brought along his officers.

"Your Highness, as a prince, how can you go to such a filthy place! These women of the night earn their money dirty; you should just forget about it!"

"If Your Highness wishes to see a talent show, how about I have Yun Chang perform a sword dance and Yi De wield a spear to add to the merriment?"

"If Your Highness feels that's not enough, I'll also perform a set of my own Gu Ying Sword Technique for you!"

The Ming Dynasty military treatise "Zhen Ji" records: "The use of the sword requires skill."

The law has its sword manuals, and the art has its swordsmen; therefore, they are unpredictable.

Among the dozens of scholars who knew the techniques, only the sword techniques of five schools—Bian Zhuang's Entangling Technique, Wang Ju's Rising and Falling Technique, Mr. Liu's Guying Technique, Ma Mingwang's Lightning Technique, and Ma Chao's Strike Technique—were passed down.

This Mr. Liu is none other than Emperor Zhaolie of Han, Liu Bei, also known as Liu Xuande.

His swordsmanship is flexible and varied, emphasizing "using softness to overcome hardness and stillness to control movement," pursuing the perfect combination of body and sword to achieve the state of oneness between man and sword.

It features both fast and sharp offensive moves and tight and compact defensive actions, enabling practitioners to move with confidence and ease in actual combat.

If what he said is true, there are only five sword techniques passed down through the ages, and Liu Bei's Gu Ying sword technique is one of them, then wouldn't that mean that Liu Bei's swordsmanship reached the level of a grandmaster?

Liu Bei's Gu Ying sword technique has been passed down for thousands of years without interruption. Only someone with unparalleled skill in swordsmanship could achieve this level.

This shows that his actual combat strength should be quite high, and it is not an exaggeration to call him the Great Han Sword Saint.

Otherwise, if someone as formidable as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were to willingly acknowledge him as their elder brother, it would be impossible to subdue them without considerable martial prowess.

But right now, Liu Wei didn't want to watch Guan Yu and Zhang Fei wield their swords and spears, nor did he want to see Liu Bei's swordsmanship.

He just wanted to have a simple drink with the ladies.

"Uncle Liu, your idea is wrong!"

"Don't look down on these courtesans. They earn their money through their own abilities. Did they force you to watch?"

Liu Wei rolled his eyes at Liu Bei, then said with a righteous expression.

Liu Bei was taken aback, then shook his head blankly: "I haven't seen this before. Why would someone show it to me for no reason?"

"That settles it! The money they earn is also our hard-earned money."

"For them, this is just pocket money!"

"Commander Wang, Commander Yan, tell me, is this 'sweating money' tainted or not?"

Liu Wei said to Wang Fangyi, Yan Da, Murong Ping and others in another row.

"Your Highness, it's not dirty!"

Wang Fangyi and the others responded loudly.

Previously in Beiman Mountain, the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun and the Imperial Guard often went to the brothels in the city to listen to music, and they were already used to Liu Wei's tricks.

"Your Highness is truly righteous; we swear to follow you to the death!"

Then several captains of the two thousand cavalrymen joined in the shouting.

This scene greatly shocked Liu Bei.

Do I have to take my men to listen to music in order to gain their loyalty?

Before Liu Bei could react, Liu Wei added, "Uncle, besides, who knows if behind them there's a gambling father, a sick mother, and a younger brother attending a private school?"

"We are not listening to music, but to the injustices they face in this world!"

"As a clan of the Han Dynasty, shouldn't we try to save them?"

After Liu Wei finished speaking, his brows furrowed, and he looked quite meaningful.

"Your Highness, what you say makes perfect sense. I never imagined that going to a brothel could be so noble and virtuous. Count me in!"

Liu Bei was deeply shaken by Liu Wei's words, as if he had heard a great bell.

"Your Highness, could you please take us two brothers with you? We also want to go and rescue them!"

When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei saw that Liu Bei was going to the brothel with Liu Wei, they immediately made the same request.

"No problem, let's call it a day for tonight and move on to the next game."

After Liu Wei finished speaking, he asked Liu Bei to lead the way. The group of more than ten people headed straight for the only brothel in Pingyuan City.

Zhang Liao was too young, so he was sent back to supervise and rally the soldiers. After they had eaten, they were to set up camp and rest at a designated location.

Before long, the group arrived at the entrance of the brothel.

The lights here are dim, and the yellow light shines on the elegant women at the alley entrance next to the brothel, as if draping them in a yellow veil!

"I love you standing alone in the dark alley, I love your unassuming appearance..."

"Fairies can exist in heaven, or they can exist on earth; collectively, they are said to be in heaven and on earth..."

......

"Tonight's entire bill is on Young Master Liu!"
