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

A few people sat on the rocks, chewing sugarcane in the cool moonlight, which was a unique experience.

After Jiang Li finished eating, he casually said, "Do you have any clues about the things I asked you to find before? If not, you can ask the merchants in the Western Regions. They may know them."

Xiao Qiu said respectfully, "There are some clues about alfalfa, and we have sent people out to collect them. When they arrive, we will send them to the princess. But we can't enter the palace, so how can we send them to the palace?"

He pointed and said, "It's okay. If you find something, just send the sample to the General's Mansion. I'll go back to the General's Mansion when I have nothing to do. After you confirm it, you can buy it and bring it back."

"Alfalfa... is very useful. If we can find it, we won't have to worry about fodder in the future. There is also a way to store food. I will teach you in the next two days. Let's send people into the mountains to hunt in the spring."

"After the prey is dried, it is all stored in the warehouse. I will come and collect it every once in a while."

Xiao Qiu nodded and didn't ask why. The princess must have her own reasons for doing this, so she just had to obey.

Jiang Li was thinking about things in his mind and felt that everything was going in the right direction. He felt relieved a lot. After his father's birthday, he would think of a way to make money and recruit soldiers.

Once we have money and food, and our military becomes strong in the later stage, we naturally have nothing to fear. It will not be difficult to destroy the barbarians. The main thing is to fear that other countries will have evil intentions on us.

Take it slow. They are all holes anyway, so it doesn’t matter if there is a little more or a little less.

Jiang Li looked at the starry sky and pointed: "Look at that, doesn't it look like a funnel? That's called the Big Dipper. It points to the north. If there are stars in the wild, you won't get lost."

"I'll tell you stories about the stars, rumors..."

An hour passed in the blink of an eye. Jiang Li was a little thirsty when he spoke: "Well, that's about it. Look, those two stars are Altair and Vega. Isn't it interesting?"

I heard a sobbing voice: "Wow, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are so pitiful, and the Queen Mother is so evil, why must she separate them?"

"Why are you crying? This is a cautionary tale. We should learn from it. If you want to marry someone you are well-matched with, marrying a poor loser will not end well."

“Between love and bread, you must choose bread. If you have bread, you can have everything you want. If you really don’t have it, you can use power and gold to buy it, and you can buy love by smashing it.”

Lingdang whispered, "Princess, this is not a good idea. If love is tainted with gold and silver, isn't it a bit vulgar? It's better not to talk about silver."

Jiang Li nodded and said seriously: "Indeed, love does not need money, but life does. Look at Niulang's niece, she seems to be very great, if the Queen Mother hadn't stopped her."

"If you live in poverty for a few years, you will collapse when faced with trivial matters. So, if I were the Queen Mother, I would not try to stop them. The more I try to stop them, the more stubborn they will become. I should just let them go."

"When people suffer a loss, they will know that stubbornness is useless."

Okay, the sad atmosphere is gone.

Jiang Li looked at them and said, "So, why are you crying? If there is a man you like, just pounce on him. You will know whether the forced melon is sweet or not after you eat it."

"Once this pattern is opened, everything will be fine."

"Those who are trapped by love are all stupid. If the man is not good, you should change him. If you don't move the tree, it will die. If you move the man, you will live. If any of you cry in the future, I will despise you."

Xiao Qiu and the others couldn't help but look at Mo Yuan with puzzled expressions. They were afraid that the young general's life in the future would not be... peaceful. The eldest princess had a too unconventional mind.

Mo Yuan said lightly, "Xiao Li, it's getting late. You still have things to do tomorrow, so go back early."

"Okay, get up early tomorrow. I'll teach you how to make jerky. If you dry it and store it, it can be kept for a long time. At a critical moment, food can save your life."

"Yes, Princess, we get it."

On the way back, Mo Yuan held her hand tightly. After they entered the yard and Xiao Qiu and others left, he pulled Jiang Li into the house, pushed her against the wall, leaned over and asked in her ear.

"Princess, who else do you want to force?"

Jiang Li's ears felt numb, and he shrank his head subconsciously: "What, I didn't mean to twist the melon, it was just an analogy. I don't want Xiao Qiu and the others to end up alone like this."

"There are still good men. Even if there aren't, eat them and then let go. Then you won't have any regrets in the future. It's nothing more than letting go."

Mo Yuan's aura was getting lower and lower. He gritted his teeth and said, "Princess, you are a Venerable. If you participate in the Venerable Competition in the future, you will meet more outstanding people. Do you have to force yourself?"

"...Ah? What do you mean? Why should I twist other people's melons? I have my own melons. What's wrong with you, Yuan? Are you jealous?"

Jiang Li held his face and said, "You are feeling inferior, do you want to become a venerable? If so, I can think of a way. It may be risky, but you can try."

"It's just that method, I don't know if you can bear it."

Mo Yuan was stunned: "How can an ordinary person become a venerable? How is this possible?"

"Nothing is impossible. As long as you operate properly and choose the right crystal core, it is possible. I will go to the Venerable Competition you mentioned and pick a good head for you."

"If anyone comes to provoke me, I will dig out their brains, take out the crystal core, and you can choose the appropriate superpower."

Jiang Li said this as he moved closer and gently kissed his slightly cool lips. They were cool, soft and very comfortable.

Mo Yuan looked at the person who lit the fire and stepped back. His eyes were burning and his voice was a little hoarse: "Don't move. You should be restrained and polite before you get married. You can't do this. It's not good for your reputation."

"As for digging out people's brains, let's forget about it in the future. The brain of a venerable cannot be dug out casually, or it will cause a war. Xiao Li heard it."

"Oh, well, as long as they don't dig out my brain, it's fine. If someone comes to provoke me, I can beat them up, as long as they don't die."

Mo Yuan was silent for a long time, then nodded: "The royal family usually does not intervene in the fights between the venerables, unless they are killed, which will provoke a war between the two countries. Next year will be the venerable competition that takes place every five years."

"You must go then. Otherwise, countries without a Venerable will have to pay 30% of taxes. The reason why Qi State is so weak is because it has never had a Venerable and has been constantly being consumed."

"It's not entirely your Majesty's alchemy, the bulk of it comes from the 30% tax."

Jiang Li's heart ached when he heard this. Thirty percent? That would be a lot of food, gold, silver and jewelry. He just gave it away for nothing. It would hurt so much.

Leaning in his arms and hugging his waist, she said, "Mo Yuan, is there any way to make them spit it out? They have swallowed so much of Qi Country's stuff, we can't just let them take it for free."
