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

Master Wuyou was just about to see clearly who she was killing when white mist filled the air, obscuring the figure. All that remained in his mind was a pair of blood-red eyes.

There was a pain in my heart, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and tears of blood flowed from the corners of my eyes.

Jiang Li was startled by him and dodged. He looked over and saw that there was no blood on his body. He breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak when he met those lifeless eyes and fell silent.

"Are you okay, handsome uncle? What happened to your eyes?"

"…Nothing. Princess, could you please move? I have something important to discuss with His Majesty, and it's not convenient for you to stay here."

Emperor Ming's heart tightened: "Li'er, you go back first. Father still has something to discuss. Someone, send the princess back to the palace."

"Well, Master, you haven't told me what you saw in the hexagram yet."

Wuyou pursed her lips and said nothing, obviously unwilling to speak.

As the door closed, Wuyou shook his body and said his guess with his head tilted: "Your Majesty, the hexagram shows that the eldest princess will be a bloodthirsty person in the future. She will inevitably bring disaster to the people. She must not be allowed to stay."

Emperor Ming's face turned ugly: "What did you say? What did Master Wuyou see?"

Wuyou took out a white cloth from his sleeve and covered his eyes with it, and the stinging pain felt better. It was normal for someone who peeped into the secrets of heaven to be retaliated against. It would only take ten days or so, and his eyes would recover.

He slowly told Emperor Ming what he had seen. He thought that Emperor Ming would order the woman to be executed to prevent her from bringing harm to the people. However, what he heard was completely different.

"So, Master Wuyou, you didn't see everything clearly. Just based on a pair of bloodshot eyes, you were certain that my daughter was a disaster. This is a bit too arbitrary. After all, it is a hexagram, and it is possible that you are wrong."

Emperor Ming was full of resistance. Although his daughter was crazy, the war with the barbarians would not have ended so quickly if it weren't for her. But this guy, who was supposed to be an immortal, spoke so casually.

You kill me if you say so. Do you really think Li'er is so easy to kill?

It seems that Wuliang Temple is not as powerful as the rumors say. Even if it were really powerful, it would not say such things. After the sacrificial ceremony is over next month, this master should go back early.

Wuyou was almost pissed off and raised his voice: "Your Majesty, my divination has never been wrong. Although I don't know the full picture this time, those eyes are definitely not something that a human can have."

"If we don't take advantage of her now, how many people will die in the future? I hope Your Majesty will not be confused. If you are unwilling to take action, you can only come to Wuliang Temple. By then... there will be no body left. Don't blame me for being cruel."

After saying this, he turned and left, his back looking indescribably cold and ruthless.

Emperor Ming was panicked upon hearing this. He paced back and forth, muttering, "This is chaos. This is completely chaos. Is Wuliang Temple crazy? My daughter is absolutely impossible. She is the kind of person who would bring disaster to the people."

"How can a person who only cares about food and doesn't care about power be so bloodthirsty? There must be something wrong. That girl didn't like the prime minister, but she didn't kill him."

"No, tell that girl not to be stupid and get killed."

After Wuyou returned to his residence, he immediately wrote a letter and sent it out, wanting to ask his master's opinion. After all, he hadn't seen the whole picture, and if he killed him so easily, would something go wrong? It would be safer to wait for the master to make a decision.

Emperor Ming hurried to Chaoyang Palace. As soon as he entered, he saw the man eating non-stop. His heartless look was so worrying.

"Hey, Li'er, why are you still eating? Something big has happened. Come to your father as soon as possible. I have something important to tell you."

He raised his head with a bewildered look on his face: "Father, why are you here? What do you want to talk to me about? Didn't we just meet just now?"

Jiang Li walked over with the cakes in his hand and motioned him to eat as well: "Don't be in a hurry to eat a piece of cake, just take your time to talk. No matter how big the matter is, I have your son to take care of it for you, don't be afraid."

Emperor Ming took a look at the hand that slapped his arm, and some cake crumbs fell on his clothes. His face turned a little dark, and he shook his clothes to get rid of the cake crumbs.

He repeated Wuyou's words just now, with a worried look in his eyes: "Wuliang Temple said that whoever will endanger the people will not survive in the end."

"Oh, so they have a criminal record, right? They are just a bunch of charlatans who really think they are so powerful. If they really piss me off, I will take my great-grandfather with me to chop down their temples. I want to see who the people will believe in, heavenly punishment or divination."

"...Wait, you can really make the great-grandfather obey you and chop him off whenever you say so."

Jiang Li lied seriously, she had the final say on when the thunder would strike, of course she could control it, it was just a small matter: "Of course, I can talk to the emperor's great-grandfather."

Bullshit, she has the ability of thunder, and it is up to her to decide when to strike. It has nothing to do with the emperor's great-grandfather. Of course, she cannot tell the truth, otherwise the emperor will definitely settle accounts with her.

She just pushed the blame onto the great-grandfather, so naturally nothing would happen. She was really smart.

Emperor Ming's eyes lit up: "Really? Then I'll think of a way for you. The sacrifice will be held next month. When the sacrifice is over, Master Wuyou, ah, that charlatan will say that you are a disaster star."

"Just let the great-grandfather of the emperor hit him as hard as he can. It's fine as long as he can't kill him. Do you understand? No matter how much discord there is between father and daughter, it is not the place for outsiders to point fingers."

Bah, he didn't have the courage. He was afraid that before he killed the girl, he would go down to accompany his father. He was not stupid, so why should he do such a thing as hitting a rock with an egg?

Jiang Li's eyes changed when he looked at Emperor Ming. He sniffed and was a little touched: "Father, you are so kind. I thought you would believe the charlatan and kill me. But if that were the case, I would definitely take you away first."

Emperor Ming: ...Thank you, you are such a good daughter!

"But now, I am very touched. Thank you, father. From now on, as long as you don't always side with the treacherous ministers and keep a clear mind, I will definitely treat you well."

"Haha, I'm very pleased. Anyway, it's good that you know the situation. Wuliang Temple is very famous, but no matter how famous it is, I'm not familiar with them. I can naturally distinguish between distant relatives and close relatives."

"Father~~"

"Li'er~~~"

The father and son were kind and filial for only a moment. The two sat down and talked about something. Emperor Ming got up and was about to go back to handle official business. Jiang Li called him and said, "Father, are you still taking the pills?"

"what?"

"Well, I'm eating less now, what's wrong?"

Jiang Li shook his head and said, "It's okay. Medicines are poisonous. It's right to eat less. If you are fine, ask the imperial physician to see you. I hope that you will live a long life. If someone bullies me in the future, please help me."

Emperor Ming rubbed his eyes and said, "Ah, you have become more sensible. You don't need me to make the decision. Who dares to bully you? The Mohists are all honest people. It's good enough if you don't bully them."
