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

next day

The carriage moved slowly and came to Stone Mountain. It was called this name because the mountain was full of stones and only some green could be vaguely seen, hence the name Stone Mountain.

Eleven was driving the carriage and saw someone being stopped not far away. He frowned, stopped the carriage, and spoke to the people in the carriage.

"Master, Master, there's something wrong ahead. It seems like bandits are blocking the road and demanding money. Should we continue on our way, or..."

Jiang Li's eyes lit up when she heard this in the carriage. No one had caused trouble for the past two days and she was very bored. It was a rare occasion that someone was causing trouble here, so she would definitely join in the fun.

He stood up and was about to lift the curtain to go out.

Seeing this, Mo Yuan shook his head lovingly and said, "Forget it. It's a rare opportunity for you to come out. Just have fun if you want to. This way you won't be bored being locked up in the palace in the future."

The curtain was opened, revealing a head: "Eleven, keep going, don't you see, there is a young lady encountering bandits ahead? This is a good opportunity to be a hero and save the beauty, but we can't let it go."

"Why, don't you want a sweet and soft wife?"

Eleven's face flushed upon hearing this, and he said in a somewhat embarrassed tone, "Little, little master, please don't make fun of me."

Jiang Li blinked his eyes and said, "Well, if you don't want to, I do. Come closer quickly, or the bandits will run away and I won't be able to play anymore."

"Ah, oh, I'll drive right away."

He retracted his head, his eyes full of cunning, like a little fox, but it seemed somewhat inconsistent with his expressionless face.

Mo Yuan unconsciously stretched out his hand and rubbed her cheek. There was no human skin mask, but why did someone with such beautiful eyes have no expression on her face?

"Xiao Li, why can't you move your face?"

Jiang Li touched her face, her eyes a little confused. In fact, she didn't understand. She didn't have facial paralysis in her previous life. It was just that the end of the world came, and she fought every day to survive, so she lost her expression after a long time.

I don’t know why, but when she came to this world, she turned out to be... expressionless. Oh, she obviously wanted to act coquettishly, that would be so fun, but unfortunately her coquettishness was like a horror movie.

He hung his head and pointed at the back of his head: "I was hit here. Maybe my facial nerves were injured. That's why it looks like this. Isn't it ugly? I look like a dummy. I can't cry or laugh."

Mo Yuan frowned and said, "It's okay. When we return to the capital, I will take you to the Divine Doctor Valley to treat your face. Once it's cured, you won't feel so bad anymore."

Jiang Li shrugged and pretended to be relaxed: "It's okay, I'm used to it. This expressionless state is quite intimidating. If it's hard to cure, then forget it."

"Also, the Divine Doctor Valley and the like, it sounds like they don't just treat random things. I think the things they want are very precious. What are you going to give them, Yuan?"

"Well, I have what they want. I'll trade it with them and let them heal your face. If they can't heal it, they won't give it to us. We won't lose anything."

Mo Yuan said seriously: "I want to cure you, okay?"

When Jiang Li met those deep eyes, his heart started pounding. He felt a little embarrassed. This guy was really something. Could he please not look at her with such affectionate eyes that he would look at a dog?

"Ahem, okay... okay."

As the two were talking, the carriage had already stopped. After getting off the carriage, they looked at the people who gathered around them with a calm expression.

Li Biao had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his body was full of explosive muscles. He looked very scary. He walked towards them step by step, and his voice was deafening: "I opened this mountain and planted this tree. If you want to pass through here, hey, you have to pay the toll."

Jiang Li's ears were buzzing from the shock. He rubbed his ears subconsciously and complained, "Uncle, I'm not deaf. You don't have to speak so loudly."

"You said you opened the mountain, but you have evidence. But as for you planting the tree, that's even more ridiculous. Look at this bare ground, even birds don't come to shit."

"What tree did you see? I tell you, you have to learn to be flexible as a person, and the same applies to being a bandit. You can't just go around the world with the same slogan without changing it. That's too low."

Li Biao was confused and didn't know what this meant. He shouted, "Little dwarf, stay aside. I want to talk to your young master. Don't interrupt me."

"Don't think that just because I haven't been educated, you can come and fool people. Anyway, if I don't give you money today, don't even think about it, humph."

"Brothers, hurry up."

Seeing them fighting over a disagreement, Jiang Li's eyes twitched. See, she wanted to be a civilized person, but others wouldn't allow her to do so. It was so infuriating.

He clenched his fists, and when people rushed over, he kicked them away one by one. Eleven watched from the side and saw people flying in the sky, secretly feeling lucky.

Fortunately, I didn't fight with the princess at the beginning. Her skills were too good. Fighting with her would be courting death.

In less than a moment, the bandits fell to the ground. Jiang Li said helplessly: "Tell me, I just want to be civilized. Why do you have to force me to do it?"

Listening to their continuous groaning, he rolled his eyes and said, "Alright, stop pretending. I'm controlling the force, otherwise your internal organs would have ruptured long ago."

"Give everything back to the girl now, right now."

Li Biao and the others felt cold when they saw his fierce look. They quickly got up and shouted, "You have no eyes. Hurry up and return the things to the girl."

A bandit whispered, "Second boss, if we let this go, the first boss will still need a wife, and we won't be able to explain ourselves when the time comes."

"Shut up, I'll tell Big Brother, stop talking nonsense, do you want me to die here today?"

Seeing her things returned, Lin Qianxue looked at them gratefully and bowed, "I am Lin Qianxue, thank you two gentlemen for saving me. If you need help in the future, please take the jade pendant to the prefect of Lin'an."

Jiang Li looked at the jade pendant and thought of the pile of them in the space. He nodded with a wooden face and felt hesitant. The ancients liked to give jade pendants as gifts.

She can hardly tell whose things are whose. No wonder jade is so expensive nowadays. It turns out that the demand was so great in ancient times that all the jade was mined out.

"It's okay. It's only right to help when you see injustice. No need to be so polite. You can go first."

Lin Qianxue glanced at the nanny beside her and said shyly: "Sir, I wonder if you can go to Lin'an. If it's on your way, can I follow you? The servants I brought with me all... died along the way."

When Jiang Li heard this, a glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes, and he hummed, "We are going to Lin'an, so let's go together later. I will take care of the matter first, and you can wait for me."

"Yes, I know."

After saying that, he obediently got into the carriage, opened the curtain and looked over here.

Jiang Li walked up to Li Biao and shouted, "Hurry up, take out all the valuables on you."

"Robbery!"
