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

"Oh, then why are you still afraid of them?"

"Nonsense, this is the art of the emperor, it's all about balance. The Mohist School is too powerful, so I naturally can't be at ease. What's wrong with that?"

"Forget it, go back and review the memorials."

Emperor Ming felt rejected and left in anger. Humph, she hasn't even gotten married yet, but she's already turning her elbow outward. If she gets married in the future, I'm afraid she won't even care about him as her father. It would be better to have a son and save herself the trouble.

Xiuhua came in with tea: "Princess, you and His Majesty had another quarrel. His Majesty looked very angry. I hope he won't punish you."

"Not really. We didn't have a fight. He was the one who was unreasonable. He kept talking about the power of the emperor. He wasn't afraid of chilling people's hearts. He was really rigid. Don't pay attention to him."

"Please clean up this place. I have something to do outside."

After saying this, he walked away quickly and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The shadow in the dark knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Princess, why are you here?"

Jiang Li raised his hand and said, "Stand up and talk. I have something to talk to you about. From now on, I will send someone to keep an eye on that charlatan from Wuliang Temple. Stop the carrier pigeons for me. Do you hear me?"

"…Princess, the Shadow Guards are loyal to His Majesty, and I really can't spare any effort. Why don't you tell His Majesty? Otherwise, if His Majesty finds out, I will die."

"No, just go ahead and do it. If the emperor causes you trouble, come and tell me, and I will seek justice for you."

Yingyi was relieved when he heard this, and he stood up and shouted, "Eleven, from now on you will keep an eye on them and make sure to stop all the carrier pigeons and hand them over to the princess for disposal. Do you understand me?"

"Yes, sir, I understand."

Jiang Li arranged everything, turned around and left in style.

After returning to the palace, he waved his hand and asked people to find saltpeter, sulfur, wood ash, etc. to prepare gunpowder. Not for any other reason, but just in case, he had to attend the Laozi's Venerable Conference at the end of this year.

She knew the ratio. Captain Doomsday had taught her to do it before, but she had never done it alone. She still needed some experiments. Once the research was done, she would produce a large number of them and store them in the space. Maybe she could use them in the future.

After Bi Yue brought the things over, it was already dark. Jiang Li checked and found that the raw materials were fine. He said that the experiment would be discussed during the day as it was difficult to see clearly at night.

in a few days

With a loud bang, the house was blown open and a dark figure rolled out from inside. His clothes were tattered and he kept coughing. It must be Jiang Li.

"Pah, damn, eat my mouthful of ashes."

When Biyuexiuhua heard the noise, she rushed in and looked at the collapsed house and the dark figure. She tentatively called out, "Princess, is that you?"

Jiang Li turned around, his face was black and white, like a little cat. His palace clothes were tattered and part of his hair was burnt, as if it had been gnawed by a dog. The two of them felt dizzy and wished they could faint.

It’s over. The princess must be disfigured.

He strode forward, took out a handkerchief and wiped his tears with trembling hands. Tears fell like beads, one by one, and he said in a choked voice: "Princess, let's not seek death, can we just have a good night's sleep?"

"This thing is too dangerous. What if it explodes and I get killed? Woohoo..."

Seeing that the usually steady person was frightened to tears by him, Jiang Li couldn't help but feel guilty: "I'm sorry, I scared you. This thing only looks dangerous. You see, I'll be fine."

"It has no missing arms or legs. We must study this thing. If it succeeds, it will be very useful in the future. Don't cry."

Xiuhua pointed at the collapsed house with a bitter face and said, "Princess, what should we do with this house? The construction department... doesn't want to deal with us. They say they don't have the time and money to repair it."

"Uh, there is no cold palace. I was just doing experiments in the cold palace. Could it be that it will all blow up so soon? That's impossible."

"As for it, it's all gone. You blew up all the cold palaces. They were originally uninhabitable, and now they are completely ruins. If you continue to build like this, you can only blow up the houses."

Jiang Li shook his head: "That won't work. I can't bear to leave such a nice house. Let's try somewhere open later. Hey, the sound is a bit loud. If we're not inside the house, I'm worried about disturbing others."

Bi Yue's mouth twitched: "Princess, I have disturbed the people. During the court session, many ministers felt that the ground was shaking. They thought it was a dragon turning over and fled in panic."

"His Majesty is also investigating who did it. I estimate that they will soon find you. I'm afraid you can't continue to make explosives."

"It's such a big commotion, why didn't you say anything earlier? It's over."

The eunuch's sharp voice rang out from outside the door: "Princess, His Majesty has ordered you to come over. Please follow me."

Jiang Li looked down and realized that he looked like a beggar. How could he go to see him? He turned around to change his clothes and cut his burnt hair. His hair, which was originally below the waist, instantly grew above the waist.

She took a look at the few successful ones in the corner, put them in a cloth bag, and prepared to go and trick her father. After seeing the power of this thing, it would be impossible for her to give up. All she had to do was to get enough explosives.

Even if her superpowers are exhausted and she can't defeat others, she can also use explosives to kill others.

The beauty who was so beautiful that she could only sigh at the sight of her looking at her majestic back. They looked at each other and sighed together. It was finally quiet. Their brains were about to be blown away these past few days because the sound was too loud.

Emperor Ming looked at the person coming in and said coldly: "Tell me, what have you been doing in the harem again? The imperial concubine said that she couldn't sleep because of the noise every day. It must be you who did it."

Jiang Li admitted readily, "It was me. That's the cold palace near the Imperial Concubine. It's the farthest away from my mother. Now my mother is pregnant, so she can't be disturbed. The Imperial Concubine is different. She's not pregnant."

"Father, I am not fooling around. I have made something good this time, a treasure that is better than the Silver Moon Sword. With that thing, even if the world is in chaos in the future, the Qi Kingdom will not be destroyed."

Emperor Ming, who was about to lose his temper, suddenly felt a lump in his throat, which made him unable to breathe in or out. His face was distorted with pain, and he drank a cup of tea before he recovered.

"Is it really a treasure?"

Jiang Li nodded repeatedly: "Of course, everything I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can go with me to try. I have brought everything with me."

As he spoke, he took out a black ball from the cloth bag.

Emperor Ming walked closer and looked at it carefully, but still couldn't see anything special. He frowned and said, "This thing is just a black lump. How can it be so powerful? I heard that your house was blown into ruins."

"If this thing can be used on the battlefield, wouldn't it be..."

The father and daughter looked at each other, and Jiang Li said with some temptation: "Father, do you want to try it yourself to see how powerful this thing is?"
