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

After Jiang Li returned, he sat in front of the window, pursed his lips, and looked at the heavy rain outside. It looked like the rain would not stop for a while, so he could take this time to find out what was going on here.

Knock knock~~

After Eleven opened the door, the aroma of hot food wafted in.

The man smiled and said, "Sir, the food is ready. Please eat first. Hot water will be delivered later."

He reached out and took it: "Okay, thank you, little brother."

"You're welcome. If you need anything, just give me a shout. I'm usually cleaning downstairs, so I can hear you if you shout."

At eleven o'clock, he nodded, brought the food in, placed it on the round table, and said, "Sir, you can eat now."

The three of them sat down. Jiang Li picked out a vegetarian bun, sniffed it closely, and after making sure there was nothing wrong with it, he started to eat it.

Seeing this, Mo Yuan, who was standing by, also took the vegetable buns and ate them bite by bite.

"...Why don't you eat meat buns?"

Jiang Li looked at the meat bun in his hand, his eyes deepened, and kindly reminded him: "My friend, I advise you not to eat unknown meat when you are out, otherwise you will vomit when you see meat in the future."

Eleven was confused: "What? Why do you say that? But speaking of meat, the stables in this inn are a bit strange. They are empty. There are no horses, donkeys, etc."

"The inn is remote. Even if we can grow vegetables on our own, we can't grow meat. And we have to go to town to buy seasonings."

"Without a horse-drawn carriage or a donkey-drawn cart, how on earth do they run an inn? Where do the things come from?"

Jiang Lishou paused and continued, "Then why are you still eating meat? Why don't you put it down? Who knows where it comes from? Don't eat it carelessly. It's disgusting."

Eleven glanced at the meat bun in his hand and shook his head: "It should be fine, I'm just guessing. This is an inn after all, maybe there are other ways to buy things."

"Besides, this meat bun smells so good. I've never smelled anything so good before. I'm really greedy, so I'll just eat one."

"…It's up to you, as long as you know it later and don't regret it."

Eleven didn't take it seriously. It was just a meat bun, what could go wrong? The biggest problem was that the meat might not be fresh. As long as it was edible, it was fine.

The two looked at each other, and felt a little disgusted when seeing the person eating happily across from them. They turned their faces away and concentrated on eating the vegetable buns in their hands, looking at him with sympathy from time to time.

You silly idiot, just wait and see, one day you will regret it.

After eating, Mo Yuan took Eleven out and let Jiang Li take a bath in the room.

Eleven rubbed his stomach, feeling a little uncomfortable, and his face was tangled: "Young Master, do you feel uncomfortable in your stomach? We eat the same thing."

"…It's different. You ate meat, but we didn't."

"Oh, is that so? Then can you accompany me to the toilet? I can't control myself. What's wrong with this inn? How dare they give us bad meat to eat?"

Mo Yuan rolled his eyes at him and said casually, "You are a man, do you need someone to accompany you to the toilet? Go by yourself, the sooner you go, the sooner you will be back. I still have to help Xiao Li watch the door, so I can't accompany you."

Eleven held his stomach and couldn't bear it any longer. He turned around and went downstairs and shouted, "Hey, where is the toilet? Take me there. Also, what kind of meat did you use? Why did I have diarrhea after eating it?"

"It tastes delicious while eating, but it's painful after eating."

"Uh, that shouldn't be the case. We use fresh meat and definitely not spoiled meat. Otherwise, why are you the only one suffering from stomach upset and they don't have any."

"They didn't, and that's because they ..."

"Hiss, forget it, I can't hold it in any longer."

Mo Yuan stood upstairs, watching the scene below with cold eyes.

Eleven came to the toilet, took off his pants and came out to relieve himself. Only then did he feel a little better in his stomach. When he was done and ready to come out, he stepped on something and his foot got stuck.

When I lowered my head, I saw only a little white thing showing. It looked a bit like bones, but who would bury bones in the toilet for no reason?

Out of curiosity, I found a stick and started digging. After a while, a complete palm bone was revealed. It was clearly... human.

Just as he was about to continue digging, he heard a slight noise outside. Worried about being discovered, Eleven had to stop, wrap the white bones of his palm with a handkerchief, and fill the pit again.

Then he pretended nothing happened, walked back into the room, and said solemnly: "Two gentlemen, come and take a look."

Jiang Li was eating a rice cake in his hand. He moved closer when he heard the words. He saw him open the handkerchief, revealing the white bones inside. He was choked by the food and started coughing.

Mo Yuan glanced at him, feeling a chill, and poured him a cup of tea, handing it over: "Just drink some water and you'll be fine."

"Yeah"

After drinking a glass of water, he felt alive again, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Where did you dig it out from? Why does it look so... weirdly white."

Eleven twitched his lips when he heard this, somewhat helplessly: "These are bones, they must be white. There is something wrong with this inn. Who would bury bones in the toilet for no reason? It is better to leave as soon as possible."

When Jiang Li heard that it was dug out from the toilet, she looked a little disgusted and silently took two steps back. The smell was a bit intoxicating, so it would be better for her to stay away from it.

"Do you think you can leave easily after entering here? You're overthinking. This is an... what kind of inn it is? You'll know when it's night."

"What does this mean? Could it be that someone is murdering someone and robbing someone? Wait, that's possible, but where are the horses? Why can't we see them?"

Mo Yuan casually said, "Maybe the horse has been eaten by someone. It's hard to say. You don't have to stare at it. It's very strange here. Don't eat anything carelessly."

"It will be safer if we take turns to keep watch at night."

Eleven nodded: "Okay, I understand, please rest assured, sir."

Haishi

Jiang Li sat in front of the window, listening to the sound of raindrops falling and the rustling footsteps outside. He squinted his eyes, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

Not long after, the window paper was poked through, and a thin bamboo was inserted through the hole, and a puff of smoke blew in. It was the magic smoke.

The two of them covered their noses and waited for the man to come in. Sure enough, not long after, the man pushed open the door and came in, and went straight to the person who was sleeping soundly on the bed.

A silver light flashed, and the dagger that was about to pierce the man was blocked by the quilt. Realizing something was wrong, the man turned around and prepared to run, but unexpectedly a strong force behind him pulled him over.

He fell heavily to the ground with a muffled groan.

Jiang Li walked over, squatted down and said quietly: "Tsk, I caught you, the fun is about to begin, you should just fall asleep first so as not to disturb us, thank you very much."

"you……!!"
