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

As Xue Huairen stepped out of the palace, he heard thunder and looked up in confusion. Before he could react, a bolt of lightning struck him directly. Seeing this, Eunuch Defu behind him took a few steps back.

I just watched helplessly as the prime minister was struck and fell straight to the ground.

Emperor Ming in the palace heard the noise, stood up and took a look, pointed at the black thing, and asked in confusion: "Is that... the Prime Minister?"

Eunuch Defu lowered his head to hide the shock in his eyes: "Your Majesty, it was the Prime Minister. I don't know what happened. He was struck by lightning as soon as he left the palace."

There was silence for a long time.

Emperor Ming said quietly, "Go and call the imperial physician to take a look. Don't... really kill him. If the prime minister dies, I don't know how the imperial concubine will make a fuss. I have a headache. Go and do it quickly."

After saying this, he turned around and went back into the hall, lying on the couch, ready to take a nap.

Seeing the treacherous minister being carried away, Jiang Li curled his lips and said inwardly, "Pah, you have been causing trouble for thousands of years. Why didn't I kill you with a chop? Next time, I must aim better and kill you directly to feel at ease."

He jumped down, and while the palace servants were not paying attention, he slipped in, walked to the soft couch, and looked at the sleeping Emperor Ming. He felt angry and thought that this cheap father was hopeless.

Just as he put the loyal minister in jail, he still had the mind to sleep. What a sleep! If the Mohists had no sleep, then he couldn't sleep either.

With a slight movement of his fingers, a small stone appeared in his hand and bounced out, causing the vase to fall from the shelf. There was a loud shattering sound, which woke up Emperor Ming from his sleep. He suddenly opened his eyes with panic in his eyes.

I met those dark eyes, which were indifferent, cold and lifeless.

Emperor Ming was obviously frightened. His face turned pale, his lips trembled, and he was unable to speak.

Jiang Li bared his teeth and said, "The weather is very good today. Now that father is awake, let's have a chat. No, let's talk about our future life."

...Your eyes look like you want to eat me, not like you want to chat.

There was a creaking sound of the door being pushed open, and Defu rushed in with his guards. He saw the princess and His Majesty, and they all turned their heads to look at him and knelt down hurriedly: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"

Emperor Ming relaxed, his expression looked better, and he glared at Jiang Li who was standing aside as if nothing had happened.

He waved his hand and said, "It's okay. You all go out. I want to talk to the princess. The people who were sent to look for the princess can be asked to come back. Also, don't spread the news of the princess's return for the time being."

"Yes, I will withdraw first."

After the people left, the door of the hall was closed.

Jiang Li jumped, sat down on the desk, picked up the pastry beside him and started eating, one bite at a time. His indecent appearance made Emperor Ming's eye twitch.

He sighed and said, "Tell me, when did you come back? Why didn't you tell me? I can send someone to pick you up."

"Oh, why take it? Anyway, the country is about to be destroyed. There is nothing to take it. Father, we are ready to die. You see, if you kill the Mo family, we will be killed right after."

"I can understand that you are not very smart when it comes to alchemy, but it is really surprising that you did such a brainless thing that hurt the loyal ministers."

Emperor Ming was furious when he heard this and pointed at him, "You, you are too presumptuous, girl. Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because I favor you."

Jiang Li was not afraid of him at all. She had no idle life to live, so what was there to be afraid of? Damn, it would be better for the country to be destroyed. It was so annoying to be talking to brainless people every day.

But when he thought of the people in prison, he could only suppress his anger and said slowly: "Father, are there any generals and ministers available in the court now?"

"Of course, as long as we have your Silver Moon Blade, even if there is no Mohist Army, General Lin and General Liu can still be used. Li'er, you are the confidence of the Emperor. As long as you are fine, the Mohist Army can kill you without any worries."

Damn it, after all this time, she was the fuse that caused the Mo family to suffer this disaster.

"Li'er, your father will be relieved if you are okay."

Jiang Limu said with a stern face: "So, it doesn't matter if you don't have the talent to be a general, as long as you have the Silver Moon Sword, right? Haha, father, you have lived in vain for the past few decades. You are still so innocent until now."

"Weapons are dead. Without good generals, they are just dead things. They are useless. Okay, I won't talk to you about this for now. Let's talk about something else."

"Why was Mo Jia imprisoned? What evidence of treason did you find?"

Emperor Ming was furious when he heard this and said angrily, "What else could it be? Someone reported the Mohists for treason, but when we went to investigate, we actually found their correspondence with the barbarians."

"If they were just barbarians, I would not believe it. After all, many people in the Mohist School died at the hands of barbarians. How could I have any dealings with them? That would be a slap in my face."

"But in addition to the barbarians, we also found their letters with Mobei. Li'er, you were deceived by the Mo family. Mobei did try to recruit the Mo family, but they just didn't go."

When Jiang Li heard this, he wanted to beat the man to death.

He didn't go there in the first place, and now he comes to betray the country as if it's just a joke. It's obvious that someone is behind this, and only a foolish king would believe it.

"Haha, Father, use your atrophied cerebellum to think carefully about why the Mo family, who did not betray the country in the first place, betrayed the country at this time. What are the benefits and interests? Let's admit it."

"Qi is just a small country, not as strong as Mobei. If the Mo family really wanted wealth and fame, they would have betrayed long ago. Why would they still stay in Qi? Do you know how many people died? You definitely don't know. Come on, I'll take you to see it."

Emperor Ming was pulled by her collar, his face darkened: "This is treason, why don't you let me go."

Jiang Lili ignored him and said as he walked away, "If you don't let me go, you can kill all nine generations of my clan. When I die, you can drag out my grandfather and great-grandfather and kill them together with me."

"You can't do it, right? If you can't do it, then you have to come with me and take a good look at the Mo family. Over the years, how many members of the family have died for the Qi Kingdom and for your throne? The ancestral hall is almost full of space for the spirit tablets."

The palace door opened, and De Fu watched the bright yellow dress flash by with some confusion in his eyes. That color seemed to be on His Majesty, so where was the princess going to take His Majesty?

The guard came over and said respectfully, "Eunuch Defu, the princess has taken His Majesty away. Should we go after her?"

"…What are you chasing? Can you snatch His Majesty back from the princess? If not, you should just give up. After all, he is your biological son. You can't kill His Majesty."

"Seal the news. The fact that His Majesty was taken out of the palace by the princess must not be leaked. Perhaps His Majesty will be sent back soon."

Jiang Li stuffed a handkerchief into his mouth and dragged him along, all the way to the Mohist ancestral hall, threw him down, and pushed open the door.
