Traveling through troubled times: Princess disguises herself as a man and becomes a soldier to earn

Midnight, the dead of night

Jiang Li stretched and said quietly, "Well, I'm awake now. It's time to get up and work. A Yuan, let's get ready. We can go out right away."

"Okay, I'll do it."

"...Wait, you're not going to break the chain, are you? There's no need to be so troublesome. Come, I'll teach you how to open the lock easily."

As she spoke, she pulled out the hairpin from her head, pulled the lock, inserted it into the keyhole and fiddled with it twice. With a click, the lock opened.

Jiang Li opened the door and said lightly, "See, it's that simple."

Mo Yuan pursed his lips, looking at the man who was more skilled at picking locks than a thief. He didn't know what to say. Who wouldn't forget everything when they lose their memory? How come Xiao Li still knew so many things?

Seeing him in a daze, he whispered, "A Yuan, why don't you come out? Are you reluctant to leave this place?"

He choked on the words and shook his head: "...I'll be right there."

The two men knocked out all the guards inside, and then tried to open the locks of other people. As the clicking sound was heard, the sleeping people were awakened and opened their eyes to look over.

He saw two people standing at the door of his cell, fiddling with something. An idea suddenly came to his mind, and he quickly got up and walked over.

He was very emotional: "You two, my father asked you to secretly let me out. I knew that my father would never give up on me."

Seeing him lost in fantasy, Jiang Li interrupted him, "No, brother, can you calm down? We just let you out. Whether you can escape alive depends on your luck."

"Come out quickly! Those who walk in front have a greater chance of survival."

"…Didn't my father send someone here?"

Mo Yuan shook his head gently: "He's already crazy, let's move on to the next one, we have other things to do and can't afford to delay."

"Well, I see."

After opening the cell door, the two continued to work.

Mo Yuan was not skilled at the beginning, but after trying it a few times, his unlocking speed became faster and faster. Within an incense stick of time, the two of them had opened all the cells. He looked at the person kneeling in front of him and said in a cold voice.

"We'll let you out. Whether you can survive or not is up to you. We don't have that much power. We can only take you all out. Take care of yourself."

Everyone knelt on the ground and kowtowed after hearing this: "Thank you for letting us out. We won't bother you any more. Please go first, we will follow you."

Seeing how loyal they were, Jiang Li felt a little compassion and coughed softly, "Seeing how loyal you are, I'll help you. Follow me out, I'll clear a path for you."

"Whoever didn't catch up, good luck to him."

The two of them slipped out, grabbed a guard, and found the nearest remote courtyard to escape outside. Looking at the courtyard wall, everyone looked up and guessed that they might have to climb the wall.

Before they could make any move, Jiang Li smashed the wall with several fists. Several cracks quickly spread out, and soon a wall shattered, leaving everyone stunned.

Jiang Li touched his nose and said, "Okay, the road is open, you guys can go out. From here, you will go directly to the market town. There are also forests. You guys should be careful to hide."

Everyone: ...So this is how you clear a road. I thought they were killing people to open the road, but it turns out they are breaking down walls to open the road. This really opens my eyes.

"Why, you're not leaving yet? Are you reluctant to leave this place and want to go back and say goodbye to that pig?"

"No, no, we'll leave now. If we meet again in the future, we will definitely repay you for saving our lives."

Jiang Li watched them take out jade pendants and badges one by one. Soon, his hands were full of things and he had to push them to Mo Yuan beside him and watched them leave.

He sighed, "Sure enough, what A Yuan said is right. Most of the people that corrupt officials can catch are good people. Even if they are not good people, it is not a crime that must be punished by death."

"Hey, it's very affectionate."

She turned her head and saw a man standing not far away. He had an untidy beard and her face could not be seen clearly. He was staring at her like a savage.

Hey, this wasn't said by A Yuan, the martial arts master. Why are you looking at her? There's no flower on her face.

"Uncle, why don't you leave?"

The man said in a hoarse voice: "I went to kill Li Youcai. I have a grudge against him. I just want to say thank you to you. But I don't have anything to give you two."

"If you want to go to Jianghu in the future, you can go to Zhangjiabao. I am Zhang Ming, the second in command of Zhangjiabao. After I finish my business, I will be in Zhangjiabao and will be waiting for you at any time."

Mo Yuan nodded: "Well, you can go and do your own thing now, hero."

The man nodded, tapped his toes, and disappeared in a flash.

Jiang Li stretched his limbs and said, "Let's go. It's our turn to work. After we finish the work, we have to go pick up Eleven. We have to leave the city early tomorrow morning. We can't stay here any longer."

The two of them were jumping on the roof, collecting whatever they saw, collecting as they went, like plucking feathers from a passing goose. They were busy like this until dawn, when they wiped the sweat from their foreheads.

"Hoo, hoo, I'm a little tired. This corrupt official has a lot of slush funds, and even a secret room. The mechanism is annoying, otherwise he would have collected all the money long ago."

Mo Yuan heard shouting not far away, looked at the fire, and said softly: "The fire broke out. We can go to the inn and tell Eleven to leave. We can leave the city at dawn."

Jiang Li followed him and remembered something: "A Yuan, after daybreak, will that fat pig not let us leave the city?"

"No, a dead person can't do anything. There will be chaos and no one will have time to investigate these things. There's no need to worry about them."

In the inn

Eleven, who was still asleep, was pulled up and looked at them in confusion: "I must be dazzled. You should be in prison. How could you be here?"

He shook his head and was about to fall down when Jiang Li slapped him twice, and crisp applause sounded.

"Eleven, are you awake now? If you are not awake yet, I can continue to fan you until you wake up. Are you satisfied?"

Eleven shuddered and shook his head frantically: "No, that's not necessary, Princess. I'm already awake. I'll pack my things and leave with you right away."

"Also, thank you... for coming back to pick me up."

Jiang Li shook his head: "You're welcome. You're lucky. I've always had bad luck. After taking you on the road, I haven't encountered any problems. Compared to before, I'm just lucky."

"Well, it's my pleasure."

The three of them quickly came to the stable, quietly pulled the carriage away, put down the silver before leaving, and after successfully leaving the city, they all breathed a sigh of relief as they had a great harvest this time.

There was a smile in Jiang Li's eyes. There were so many things in the space, enough to last for a long time. It was great. It wasn't a wasted trip.
